Abstract

This study aimed to examine the typology of students’ moral judgment in decision-making related to socio-scientific issues. A Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method was employed to analyze 22 national and international journal articles addressing four moral typologies: absolutists, subjectivists, situationists, and exceptionists, as well as the decision-making processes within the context of socio-scientific issues. The research stages included formulating research questions, searching and selecting relevant literature, and conducting an in-depth analysis to identify decision-making tendencies based on moral typology. Findings revealed that absolutist students uphold universal moral values with an emphasis on social and environmental concerns; subjectivist students base their decisions on personal values influenced by religion and culture; situationist students adjust their decisions according to the specific situational context without consistently adhering to general moral standards; and exceptionist students choose decisions perceived to yield the greatest positive impact despite being aware of moral norms. Understanding moral typology helps educators design.

Abstract

This study focuses on the development of a natural deodorant spray to address body odor caused by bacterial activity in sweat. The formulation utilizes alum, basil leaf extract, and lemon extract, all known for their antibacterial properties. Three formulations were evaluated: F1 (alum and basil extract), F2 (alum and lemon extract), and F3 (a combination of all three). The formulations underwent physical testing, pH analysis, clarity assessment, skin irritation evaluation, and fabric compatibility tests. Results indicated that F1 demonstrated stability in pH and clarity, F2 offered a superior aroma, and F3 exhibited the strongest antibacterial efficacy with a balanced fragrance. All formulations were found to be non-irritating and safe for use. The combination of these natural ingredients demonstrates significant potential for producing eco-friendly and consumer-safe deodorant spray products, highlighting their effectiveness in combating body odor while maintaining user comfort and environmental sustainability.

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

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.
