Abstract

The study aims to validate the textbook of Human Anatomy and Physiology. The validation conducted leads to the analysis of the textbook on scientific literacy, namely to determine the scope of scientific literacy in the textbook. This study is a descriptive study that aims to explain the validation results. This module was validated by three validators. There are four components that validated, namely content validity consisting of module components and the suitability of module content, construct validity, language validity, and suitability with learning that uses conceptual changes. The results of the validation of human anatomy and physiology materials for semester VI Biology students at Medan State University found that the standards for human anatomy and physiology teaching materials based on scientific literacy have met the Very Good category with a percentage score and an average number of feasibility: Content feasibility is 88.67, presentation feasibility 93%, feasibility of scientific literacy components 93%. The results of the study concluded three textbooks used in university emphasize more on the presentation of facts, concepts, principles, laws, theories and models and emphasize that students can remember information through questions.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the results of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) project seminars and assess the effectiveness of Project-Based Learning (PjBL) in the Primary School Teacher Education (PGSD) Program at Universitas Pattimura. The background of the research stems from the demands of the 21st-century curriculum, which emphasizes the development of critical, collaborative, creative, and communicative competencies through contextual and applicable learning. The study employs a quantitative descriptive approach with data collected through seminar observations, project documentation, and student perception questionnaires. The research participants included fourth-semester students who had participated in STEM project seminars and project supervisors. The number of students was 30 students. Data were analyzed using the interactive model of Miles and Huberman, which includes data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The integration of STEM project seminars based on Project-Based Learning (PjBL) can enhance teachers’ pedagogical competence and their skills in developing learning activities aligned with the Merdeka Curriculum.  The results show that the STEM project seminars were successfully implemented, marked by active student engagement, systematic presentations, and innovative products that practically integrated STEM elements. Project-Based Learning was found effective in enhancing conceptual understanding, 21st-century skills, as well as students' motivation and self-confidence. However, in-depth mastery of STEM concepts and students’ professional readiness still require improvement through intensive guidance and training. Overall, the STEM project seminar plays a strategic role as both an evaluation medium and a reinforcement of project-based learning within teacher education. The study recommends the development of integrative STEM guidelines and a more systematic project evaluation model to support the achievement of professional competencies among PGSD students.

Abstract

This research investigates the effectiveness of integrating folklore narratives into biology education within higher education as a pedagogical strategy to enhance scientific literacy and conceptual understanding. The study explores how folklore-based learning can improve students’ comprehension of core biological concepts, including ecology, genetics, and biodiversity, by connecting abstract scientific principles to relatable cultural contexts. Through the analysis of various folklore traditions and their implicit biological principles, this study demonstrates the potential of these narratives to bridge the gap between theoretical biology and real-world applications. An experimental study was conducted to evaluate the impact of folklore-based instruction on student learning outcomes compared to traditional teaching methods. Results indicate significant improvements in student engagement, critical thinking skills, and conceptual understanding of biology among higher education students exposed to folklore-integrated lessons. This approach not only promotes cultural awareness and appreciation for traditional knowledge but also stimulates scientific discourse and problem-solving abilities. This study advocates for the incorporation of local folklore into science curricula within higher education to enrich student learning experiences and foster a deeper, more nuanced understanding of biology and its societal relevance, ultimately contributing to improved scientific literacy.

Abstract

The utilization of digital learning media in science education has experienced significant growth in line with rapid technological advancements. This study aims to systematically examine the effects of various digital learning media on students’ learning motivation in science education through a meta-analytic approach. Data were analyzed from 32 relevant empirical studies published between 2017 and 2021 using Cohen’s d effect size test. The meta-analysis results indicate that video-based learning media exert the greatest influence on student motivation (d = 4.27), categorized as a very large effect size. Audio-visual media show a large effect (d = 1.22), while ICT-based media and digital games exhibit medium (d = 0.50) and small (d = 0.09) effect sizes, respectively. These findings show that the effectiveness of digital learning media in enhancing students’ motivation varies depending on the characteristics of the media used. This study is expected to provide valuable insights for educators and curriculum developers in selecting the most effective digital media to foster learning motivation in science education.

Abstract

Fires are sudden disasters that can cause significant losses, both material and non-material. Prompt early response is crucial to prevent the spread of fire, but many communities lack simple and easy-to-use fire extinguishers. A five-member community service team, in collaboration with the Kesuma Community Learning Center (PKBM), led by Ms. Siti Nurhayati, located in Lk 2 Pasar 2 Barat Terjun, Medan Marelan, and involving 40 community members as partners, conducted training and developed an innovation called a "Fulerene Patterned Fire Blanket." This blanket is made from heat-resistant fullerene-patterned fiberglass and coated with sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO₃), which accelerates fire extinguishing by lowering the temperature and inhibiting oxidation. This combination of materials results in a device that is high-temperature resistant, lightweight, and reusable after washing. This activity included outreach, demonstrations, hands-on training, and involved the local community in simple production of the device. The results demonstrated an increase in community knowledge and skills in dealing with small fires. Enthusiasm for this safe and economical design has also increased disaster awareness and preparedness at the community level. The positive response has opened up opportunities for broader program development. Scientific studies have shown that fullerene-patterned fire blankets are effective as a preventative solution, enhancing community preparedness for early fire risks.

Abstract

This study aims to measure and describe the level of epistemic knowledge of junior high school students in Medan City on the subject of energy crisis. The research approach uses a descriptive quantitative method with a sample of 92 ninth-grade students selected through cluster random sampling. Data were collected using a 15-item essay test that had been validated and proven reliable. Data analysis was performed using descriptive statistics through the calculation of average scores, frequency distribution, and the percentage of achievement for each epistemic aspect. The results showed that the students' level of epistemic knowledge was in the moderate category with an average of 58%, indicating that their understanding of how science works, especially on the issue of energy crisis, was not yet optimally developed. These findings emphasize the need for a learning model that places greater emphasis on evidence-based argumentation, the use of scientific models, and the exploration of the nature of science. Further research is recommended to integrate inquiry-based learning designs to test the effectiveness of interventions in improving students' epistemic knowledge.
