Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of integrating Project-Based Learning (PjBL) and the STEM approach in biology education. A systematic and descriptive literature review was conducted on articles published from 2016 to 2024 obtained from Google Scholar, SINTA, and Scopus. Articles were selected based on the relevance of the title, abstract, and content. The analyzed data included learning design, integration strategies, educational level, and learning outcomes. Thematic narrative analysis was used. The results from ten reviewed articles indicate that PjBL-STEM integration enhances critical thinking, creativity, problem-solving, and biology concept mastery. It also fosters students’ collaboration, responsibility, and communication. However, challenges such as teacher readiness and limited resources were found. Teacher training and adequate support are necessary to optimize its implementation.

Abstract

The rapid growth of bioinformatics has significantly influenced both the biological sciences and education, underscoring the importance of equipping future biology educators with relevant analytical and computational skills. This study aimed to compare the bioinformatics skills and biological knowledge of biology education students with and without experience in bioinformatics courses. A comparative descriptive design was employed, involving 49 students: 26 with no prior experience in bioinformatics and 23 with experience in bioinformatics. Data were collected using an instrument consisting of three opinion-based items and three cognitive test items. Qualitative data were analyzed thematically and visualized through diagrams, while cognitive performance was analyzed using descriptive statistics. The outcomes show that students who took the bioinformatics course demonstrated a broader use of tools, more reflective thinking about their own learning, and encountered more difficult problems, along with greater gain in scores on biology knowledge (70.29%) compared to students who did not take the course (63.63%). These findings support the need to include bioinformatics in the biology education program to better prepare pre-service biology teachers with the science and technology advancements in the future
