Abstract

Purpose -This study aims to address the challenges of teaching astronomy in higher education, particularly in institutions with limited observational infrastructure and urban light pollution. The purpose of this research is to investigate the effectiveness of Stellarium, a digital planetarium application, in enhancing students' conceptual understanding of astronomy concepts in Physics Education.Methodology - A quasi-experimental research design was employed, utilizing a pretest-posttest control group format. The sample consisted of 30 undergraduate students enrolled in the astronomy course, who were purposively selected and divided into an experimental group and a control group. The research procedure involved the development of Stellarium-integrated instructional materials, the implementation of teaching interventions, and the administration of pretests and post-tests to assess conceptual understanding. Additional instruments included a questionnaire to capture students' perceptions and documentation of classroom activities. Data were analyzed using paired sample t-tests, independent sample tests, and descriptive statistics.Findings - The results of the initial and final trials showed a significant increase in the experimental group's understanding of astronomical concepts. In contrast, the control group showed minimal improvement. The findings revealed a significant improvement in the experimental group's test scores, with an average gain of 16.6 points (p < 0.05). Students also expressed highly positive perceptions of Stellarium in terms of visual appeal, ease of use, learning motivation, and comprehension of celestial motion. These results suggest that Stellarium is an effective pedagogical tool for enhancing conceptual understanding of astronomy and fostering student engagement.Contribution- The study contributes to the growing body of research on simulation-based learning and offers practical insights into integrating digital technologies in science education, particularly in resource-constrained institutions. It also offers a model for adapting global digital tools to local educational contexts, thereby supporting curriculum innovation in Indonesian higher education.

Abstract

This development research aims to develop learning media P3 (Smart Round Board) with Surprise Box on the material "Plants that are the Source of Life on Earth" which is suitable for use in the learning process in class IV. This research was conducted in class IV of SD Negeri 105345 Sidodadi Ramunia. This development research uses the Research and Development (R&D) research method using the ADDIE (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation) model. However, this research only reached the development stage. The P3 media (Smart Round Board) with Surprise Box that has been developed has been validated by several experts, namely material experts, media experts and learning experts (teacher response). Based on the validation results from the material expert validator, the score was 92. From the media expert validation results, the score was 88 and from the learning expert validation results, the score was 83. So from the assessment it can be said that the P3 learning media (Smart Round Board) with Surprise Box is The material "Plants that are the Source of Life on Earth" developed is valid and very suitable for use in the learning process.

Abstract

This study investigates the impact of Artificial Intelligence (AI) integration in Project-Based Learning (PjBL) within a Basic Science Concepts course, specifically focusing on the paradox between student perceptions and actual learning performance. A quantitative comparative design was employed, involving pre-service teachers divided into AI-reliant and non-AI groups. Data were collected through Likert-scale questionnaires and project product assessment rubrics, then analyzed using the Mann–Whitney U test. The results reveal a significant disparity: while the AI group reported significantly higher perceptions of learning effectiveness and teamwork satisfaction, their actual product quality and conceptual depth in science were lower than those of the non-AI group. This suggests that AI integration may create an illusion of competence, where ease of information access reduces the depth of critical inquiry and collaborative synthesis. The study concludes that AI should function as a guided cognitive tool rather than a primary source in science education. These findings offer critical implications for educators to design AI-integrated PjBL that prioritizes conceptual understanding over technological convenience.

Abstract

This study investigated the differences in soil pH and water retention capacity between productive paddy soil and soil degraded by waste combustion residues from a soil physics perspective. The waste combustion soil used was household waste combustion soil containing organic and inorganic waste. Combustion residues can alter the physicochemical properties of the soil, particularly porosity, capillarity, and moisture dynamics, which affect soil water retention behavior. A comparative quantitative approach was used by collecting soil samples at a depth of 0–20 cm from two different locations. Soil pH was measured using a digital pH meter, while water retention capacity was analyzed using standard laboratory procedures. The results showed that the productive paddy soil exhibited a pH close to neutral (6.8), higher porosity, stronger capillary action, and high water retention capacity (90%). In contrast, the degraded soil exhibited alkaline conditions (pH 8.7), reduced pore connectivity, impaired moisture dynamics, and lower water retention capacity (60%). These findings suggest that waste combustion residues negatively impact soil structure and water retention mechanisms. Therefore, appropriate waste management and soil rehabilitation strategies are needed to restore soil function and agricultural productivity.

Abstract

Background: Traditional fish smoking practices in coastal communities still rely heavily on firewood and conventional smoking systems, resulting in excessive smoke emissions, inefficient fuel consumption, and environmental pollution. This community service program introduced biochar-supported fish smoking technology as a green technology innovation to strengthen sustainable coastal community economies. Contribution: This program contributes an integrative and replicable community empowerment model that combines biochar-based green technology, entrepreneurship strengthening, and digital marketing transformation within cross-country coastal communities. Methods: The program was implemented in Bintang Meriah Village, Langkat Regency, North Sumatra, Indonesia, and Kuala Kedah, Malaysia, involving 28 participants from fish-smoking SMEs and coastal community groups. Activities were conducted through socialization, training, technology application, and mentoring. Results: The implementation of biochar-supported fish smoking technology reduced firewood consumption by approximately 26%, decreased smoke emissions by around 30%, and improved production efficiency by approximately 24%. Approximately 68% of participants successfully adopted digital marketing platforms for product promotion and business expansion. Conclusion: The integration of biochar-supported fish smoking technology and community empowerment successfully improved environmental sustainability, production efficiency, and local economic resilience.
