Abstract

This research stems from the low utilization of local potential-based biology learning resources in schools, despite their importance in deepening biological understanding, shaping student character, and fostering environmental awareness, amid growing challenges like resource exploitation, land use change, and climate change. This study aims to assess how effective biology learning resources based on local potential affect student attitudes and learning outcomes by conducting a systematic literature review and meta-analysis using the PRISMA method on articles published between 2013 and 2024. The main data source came from Google Scholar, focusing on articles discussing the utilization of local potential as a learning resource. The uniqueness of this method lies in the categorization of articles based on dependent variables, namely student attitudes and learning outcomes. The data were analyzed descriptively for attitude variables and quantitatively using Cohen's d formula to measure the effect size on learning outcomes for articles with adequate data. The results of the analysis showed that local potential-based learning significantly impacted positively on students' attitudinal changes (including environmental awareness and conservation) and improved cognitive learning outcomes, as seen from high N-gain and effect size values. These findings support the application of contextual and constructivist approaches that are in line with the Merdeka Curriculum, which emphasizes the importance of strengthening character and sustainability. In conclusion, learning resources based on local potential can improve learning quality and shape students with character and environmental awareness, while strengthening empirical evidence on contextual biology education and learning based on local wisdom.

Abstract

Critical thinking skills are essential 21st-century competencies, yet Biology learning in schools often remains teacher-centered, limiting students’ active involvement in analyzing and solving problems. Problem Based Learning (PBL) offers a solution by positioning students at the center of contextual problem-solving activities. This study aims to examine the effectiveness of PBL in enhancing Biology students’ critical thinking skills through a systematic literature review (SLR) using content analysis. Data were collected from Google Scholar using the keyword “Critical Thinking Problem Based Learning in Biology Education” and screened from 28,300 articles to 10 relevant ones based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. Findings indicate an increasing research trend over the past decade. PBL effectively improves learning outcomes, critical thinking skills, and student engagement, aligning with 21st-century skills. It is concluded that PBL is an adaptive and applicable strategy to enhance the quality of Biology learning.Abstrak. Keterampilan berpikir kritis merupakan kompetensi penting abad ke-21, namun pembelajaran Biologi di sekolah masih berpusat pada guru sehingga siswa kurang terlibat aktif dalam menganalisis dan memecahkan masalah. Problem Based Learning (PBL) menjadi solusi dengan menempatkan siswa sebagai pusat pembelajaran berbasis masalah kontekstual. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengkaji efektivitas PBL dalam meningkatkan keterampilan berpikir kritis siswa Biologi melalui systematic literature review (SLR) dengan analisis konten. Data diperoleh dari Google Scholar menggunakan kata kunci “Berpikir Kritis Problem Based Learning pada Pembelajaran Biologi” dan disaring dari 28.300 artikel menjadi 10 artikel relevan sesuai kriteria inklusi dan eksklusi. Hasil kajian menunjukkan tren penelitian meningkat dalam satu dekade terakhir. PBL terbukti efektif meningkatkan hasil belajar, keterampilan berpikir kritis, dan keterlibatan siswa, serta relevan dengan keterampilan abad ke-21. Disimpulkan bahwa PBL merupakan strategi adaptif dan aplikatif untuk meningkatkan kualitas pembelajaran Biologi.
