Abstract

The development of critical thinking skills and improved learning outcomes are central goals of effective biology instruction. However, conventional learning media often fail to sufficiently stimulate higher-order thinking processes. This study examined the effect of dartboard-based learning media on students’ critical thinking skills and learning outcomes in the topic of the digestive system. A quantitative quasi-experimental design with a pretest–posttest control group structure was employed, involving two grade XI classes at SMA Negeri 8 Gowa assigned as experimental and control groups. Data were collected through validated critical thinking and achievement tests and analyzed using inferential statistics. The results indicated that students taught using dartboard learning media demonstrated significantly higher critical thinking skills and learning outcomes compared to those receiving conventional instruction (p < 0.05). These findings suggest that dartboard-based media effectively promotes active engagement, facilitates higher-order cognitive processes, and enhances academic performance in biology learning contexts.

Abstract

Stunting remains a major nutritional challenge in Indonesia and is closely associated with low nutritional literacy among adolescents. Schools play an important role in improving students’ understanding of nutrition and health through contextual learning. However, biology learning materials are still largely limited to conventional textbooks and worksheets that do not integrate nutritional literacy and stunting issues. This study aimed to develop a STEM-based interactive module on the digestive system to improve nutritional literacy and stunting risk awareness among high school students. The study employed a Research and Development (R&D) approach using the ADDIE model. The participants were 36 Grade XI students at SMA Negeri 7 Makassar. Data were collected through expert validation sheets, teacher and student response questionnaires, nutritional literacy pretest-posttest, and stunting risk awareness questionnaires. The results showed that the module was highly valid (3.80/4.00) and highly practical (3.70/4.00). The module was also effective, as indicated by 94.44% classical learning completeness and a high N-gain score of 0.78 from pretest to posttest results. In addition, students demonstrated a very high level of stunting risk awareness (95.20%). Therefore, the STEM-based interactive module is feasible and effective for improving students’ nutritional literacy and awareness of stunting prevention.
