Abstract

Protist concepts pose significant challenges for students due to their abstract nature and the complexity of microscopic structures. This study evaluates the validity, practicality, and acceptance of the Augmented Reality-Based Protist Application (AR-BPA), designed to enhance students' understanding of protists through immersive, 3D visualization. Following the development model by Lee & Owens (2004), this research focuses on the development stage, involving validity tests, preliminary implementation, and practicality assessments. Data were gathered from 3 experts, 32 students, and 2 lecturers through questionnaires and interviews, revealing high levels of usability and practicality for AR-BPA. The findings indicate that AR-BPA effectively supports student learning by making abstract concepts more accessible. Nonetheless, improvements in content scope and interface design are suggested to further optimize user experience. The study highlights AR-BPA’s potential to revolutionize protist education, with implications for broader applications in biology learning. Future research should explore scalability and additional factors to fully realize AR-BPA’s educational impact.

Abstract

The enhancement of students’ health literacy represents a pivotal element in preparing them to confront contemporary health challenges. Accordingly, this study evaluates the impact of a combined problem-based learning and collaborative mind mapping (pbl-cmm) framework on improving students’ capacities for health literacy. Conducted with 110 senior high school students in Parepare, Indonesia, this quasi-experimental study employed a pretest–posttest non-equivalent control group design focused on the excretory and reproductive system topics in biology. Three groups were compared: PBL-CMM, PBL only, and conventional learning. Health literacy was measured through the Biology-Related Health Test (BRHT) and the Health Literacy Questionnaire (HLQ), which were developed based on four literacy dimensions: access, understand, appraise, and apply. The ANCOVA results revealed that students in the PBL-CMM group achieved significantly higher health literacy scores (corrected mean = 77.70) than those in the PBL (65.09) and conventional groups (56.20), p < .05. Similarly, the BRHT scores showed consistent patterns (PBL-CMM = 78.17; PBL = 70.26; Conventional = 65.95). The findings suggest that the PBL-CMM model is effective in fostering comprehensive health literacy through collaborative, problem-centered learning strategies. Future research is recommended to apply this model across diverse educational contexts, larger student populations, and different subject areas to examine its broader applicability and long-term impact on students’ critical thinking and decision-making in health-related issues
