Abstract

Waste management in Bandar Lampung has reached a critical point, with significant environmental and public health implications. This community engagement initiative, titled "Turning Waste into Rupiah," focuses on empowering underprivileged households through waste management programs. Drawing on the Asset-Based Community Development (ABCD) framework, the program integrates local resources and emphasizes community participation to address waste-related challenges. The theoretical underpinning aligns with community empowerment and sustainable development principles, aiming to enhance environmental awareness and economic opportunities. The project employed a participatory approach involving 55 pre-identified low-income households in Way Dadi, Sukarame. Activities included training sessions on waste segregation, recycling, and value-adding practices like making plastic-stuffed cushions and compost production. Surveys and workshops were conducted to assess participants' knowledge, behavior, and potential in waste management. Key outcomes showed that while 58.2% of participants recognized the economic potential of waste, only 14.5% consistently practiced segregation. Post-training, participants demonstrated improved skills and produced marketable products, including compost and cushions. Collaborations with local stakeholders, including recycling industries and municipal authorities, ensured sustainable program implementation. The initiative effectively bridged environmental conservation with economic empowerment, showcasing the dual benefits of waste management.This program highlights the transformative power of community engagement in addressing environmental issues while fostering economic resilience. Future efforts should focus on scaling up such initiatives to broader populations and enhancing long-term impact through policy support and continued community involvement.

Abstract

The development of critical thinking skills is a key objective in 21st-century science education, particularly in learning contexts involving complex environmental issues. However, students’ critical thinking abilities remain relatively low due to the dominance of teacher-centered instructional practices. This study aims to examine the effectiveness of the Auditory, Intellectually, and Repetition (AIR) learning model in enhancing students’ critical thinking skills in environmental change and conservation learning, as well as to analyze differences based on gender. A quasi-experimental method with a non-equivalent control group pretest–posttest design was employed, involving 73 tenth-grade students divided into experimental and control classes. Data were collected using an essay-based critical thinking test developed based on Ennis’ indicators, including interpretation, analysis, evaluation, inference, and explanation. The results indicate that students in the experimental group achieved significantly higher posttest scores (M = 88.19) and N-Gain (g = 0.72, high category) compared to the control group (M = 60.88; g = 0.21, low category). Improvement was observed across all critical thinking indicators, with the highest gains in advanced clarification and basic skill development. Two-way ANOVA results reveal that the instructional model has a significant effect on students’ critical thinking skills (p < 0.05), while gender and the interaction between model and gender are not statistically significant. These findings demonstrate that the AIR model is effective and inclusive for both male and female students. The study implies that integrating active, discussion-based, and reinforcement-oriented learning models with environmental contexts can enhance students’ higher-order thinking and support meaningful engagement with sustainability issues.

Abstract

The development of technology-enhanced instructional media is increasingly important in biology education, particularly for topics that require students to understand abstract ecological processes. This study aimed to develop augmented reality-assisted flashcards and examine their feasibility and effectiveness in improving tenth-grade students’ conceptual mastery of ecosystem components and interactions. The study employed a Research and Development design using the ADDIE model, which consists of analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation. The participants involved material experts, media experts, language experts, biology teachers, and tenth-grade students at SMA Negeri 15 Bandar Lampung, Indonesia. Data were collected through needs analysis questionnaires, expert validation sheets, student response questionnaires, and pre-test and post-test measures of conceptual mastery. The product was developed using Canva and Assemblr Edu to integrate printed flashcards with interactive three-dimensional augmented reality objects. The validation results indicated that the media was highly feasible, with scores of 87.06% from media experts, 89.16% from material experts, and 86.60% from language experts. The effectiveness test showed that students in the experimental class achieved a higher N-Gain score than those in the control class, with an N-Gain of 0.82 in the high category compared with 0.50 in the moderate category. The independent-samples t-test also indicated a statistically significant difference between the two groups, with a significance value of 0.000. These findings suggest that augmented reality-assisted flashcards are feasible and effective as an innovative instructional medium for supporting conceptual mastery in biology learning. The study implies that integrating printed visual media with interactive digital objects can strengthen students’ understanding of abstract biological concepts and provide a more engaging learning experience.
