Abstract

Palm sugar (Arenga pinnata) is widely used in traditional and industrial food processing, where its solubility plays a crucial role in determining product consistency and efficiency. However, most previous studies have focused on the solubility of refined cane sugar, leaving limited understanding of how temperature and stirring conditions affect the dissolution behavior of palm sugar, which has a more complex composition. This study aims to examine the effect of temperature, solute mass, and stirring duration on the solubility of palm sugar in water. A laboratory-based experimental method was employed, varying temperature (50°C, 75°C, 100°C), sugar mass (20 g and 40 g), and stirring duration (1 and 2 minutes). In general, the findings indicate that higher temperature accelerates the dissolution rate, while greater solute mass extends dissolution time. These results confirm temperature as the dominant factor influencing dissolution kinetics. The implications of this study include improving household practices for faster sugar preparation, optimizing processing efficiency in small-scale food industries, and contributing to food science education by providing an applied example of solubility principles.

Abstract

Research on student responses and the challenges of implementing virtual laboratories in qualitative cation analysis practicums within vocational pharmacy education remains limited. This study aims to explore student responses to the use of virtual laboratories as an alternative learning tool and to identify the challenges faced during its implementation. A qualitative approach with a case study method was employed. Data were collected through questionnaires and classroom observations during the learning process. The participants were 41 Grade XII students of the Pharmacy Program at SMK Galang Insan Mandiri Binjai, who engaged in virtual laboratory-based learning for qualitative cation analysis. The results indicate that virtual laboratories enhance student engagement and comprehension of the subject matter. Students responded positively to the use of virtual labs, reporting increased motivation and interest in developing technology-related skills. However, challenges such as limited digital literacy and infrastructure issues were also identified. The study suggests that virtual laboratories should be complemented with hands-on practicum sessions to provide a balanced and realistic learning experience. These findings offer valuable insights into the potential and limitations of virtual laboratory implementation in vocational pharmacy education.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the perspectives of students from the Department of Mathematics enrolled in a General Chemistry class regarding the use of young coconut water as a natural remedy to treat fever symptoms. The research is grounded in the widespread trust of Indonesian society in herbal medicine, particularly young coconut water, which has been traditionally used across generations to treat various health conditions, including fever. Young coconut water is known to contain vital nutrients such as electrolytes (potassium, sodium, magnesium), B-complex vitamins, and vitamin C, which help lower body temperature naturally, especially during dehydration caused by fever. A quantitative approach with a descriptive survey method was employed. The data were collected using a closed questionnaire based on a Likert scale, which was tested for validity and reliability, achieving a Cronbach's Alpha value of 0.977-indicating a high level of reliability. Results showed that students' average scores in knowledge (3.90), understanding (3.81), attitude (3.89), and application (3.87) were all in the high category. This indicates that students not only understand the benefits of young coconut water but also grasp scientific concepts related to electrolyte function in fluid balance and immune response. Despite the high scores, some misconceptions persist. For example, a few students believe young coconut water can entirely replace medical treatment or that higher consumption leads to faster healing without regard for appropriate dosage. This highlights the need for improved science-based health literacy. The study concludes that continuous health education through lectures, seminars, and healthy campus campaigns integrating both traditional and medical approaches is essential. These findings are significant in promoting the wise and measurable use of natural remedies like young coconut water while avoiding misuse. Furthermore, the results can serve as a basis for future research, such as clinical trials or laboratory comparisons with other rehydration fluids, and can help develop health promotion policies in academic settings to encourage smart and healthy decision-making among students.

Abstract

Pembelajaran abad ke-21 menuntut peserta didik memiliki kemampuan literasi sains yang memadai, khususnya dalam memahami materi kimia yang kompleks dan abstrak. Namun, hasil asesmen internasional menunjukkan bahwa kemampuan literasi sains siswa, termasuk di Indonesia, masih belum optimal. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis penerapan model Pembelajaran Berbasis Masalah (Problem Based Learning/PBL) dalam meningkatkan literasi sains pada pembelajaran kimia di tingkat Sekolah Menengah Atas (SMA/MA). Metode yang digunakan adalah Systematic Literature Review (SLR) dengan menganalisis artikel yang diterbitkan antara tahun 2018 hingga 2024. Berdasarkan hasil analisis diperoleh 13 artikel yang memenuhi kriteria inklusi untuk dianalisis. Hasil tinjauan menunjukkan bahwa penerapan PBL secara konsisten memperkuat pemahaman konsep sains secara mendalam dan meningkatkan keterampilan berpikir kritis serta pemecahan masalah siswa. Model pembelajaran ini tidak hanya mendukung prestasi akademik, tetapi juga membantu siswa mengaitkan ilmu yang dipelajari dengan situasi nyata, sehingga meningkatkan kualitas literasi sains yang dibutuhkan dalam pembelajaran kimia saat ini.
