Abstract

This study aimed to analyze the community structure of fiddler crabs (Uca) in the mangrove ecosystem of Lalombi Village, South Banawa District, Donggala Regency, and to utilize the research findings as instructional media in the form of a flipbook. This ecological study employed a quantitative descriptive approach based on community structure analysis, with samples collected using purposive sampling. The parameters analyzed included species composition, density, the Shannon–Wiener diversity index, the Simpson dominance index, and the evenness index, along with environmental variables such as temperature, salinity, pH, and substrate type. The results showed that the fiddler crab community in the mangrove ecosystem of Lalombi Village consisted of five species, namely Uca annulipes, Uca lactea, Uca forcipata, Uca tetragonon, and Uca dussumieri. Abundance varied across sampling stations, and the overall diversity level was classified as low to moderate. The occurrence frequency of these five fiddler crab species was very low. The recorded densities were 6 ind/m² for Uca annulipes, 3 ind/m² for Uca lactea, 5 ind/m² for Uca forcipata, 7 ind/m² for Uca tetragonon, and 3 ind/m² for Uca dussumieri, with a low dominance index. The environmental physicochemical conditions recorded for fiddler crab habitat were a temperature of 30°C, water pH of 8.25, salinity of 31, and a muddy substrate type. Overall, the fiddler crab community structure in the mangrove ecosystem of Lalombi Village was relatively stable, characterized by low to moderate diversity, low dominance, and a clumped distribution pattern influenced by substrate conditions and mangrove density.

Abstract

The objective of this study is to describe the abundance of gastropods in the marine waters of Bonebula Beach, Banawa Tengah Subdistrict, and to utilise the findings as a learning resource in the form of electronic pocket books. The research methodology employed is descriptive quantitative research, with the location determined through purposive sampling, resulting in the designation of three observation stations. Station 1 is situated within the seagrass ecosystem, Station 2 within the mangrove ecosystem, and Station 3 within the coral ecosystem. The sampling was conducted using a free collection method. The findings revealed the presence of 19 species of gastropods belonging to 13 families and six orders. The abundance of gastropods on Bonebula Beach is classified as moderate, representing 18.33% of the total population. The percentage of content experts, design experts and media experts is 85%, 85.33% and 84.29%, respectively, with an average feasibility rating of 84.87%. This indicates that the electronic pocket book medium is highly feasible for use.

Abstract

This study aimed to identify the morphological types of microplastics present in the digestive tracts of squid (Loligo sp.) sold at a traditional market in Palu City. A descriptive approach combining quantitative and qualitative analyses was employed. A total of 10 fresh squid specimens were randomly selected from a single vendor at Lasowani Traditional Market. The digestive tracts were isolated, digested using 10% potassium hydroxide (KOH), and incubated at 40°C for 96 h. The recovered particles were subsequently classified and counted, and microplastic abundance was calculated. Three morphological types of microplastics—fibers, films, and fragments—were detected in the digestive tracts of the 10 squid specimens. A total of 948 particles were recorded, corresponding to a mean abundance of 94.8 particles per individual. Films were the most prevalent type, accounting for 48.4% of the total particles, followed by fragments at 26.7% and fibers at 24.9%. These findings indicate that film-type microplastics were dominant in the digestive tracts of the examined squid. Based on the research findings, an educational poster was also developed and subjected to expert validation. The poster achieved a feasibility score of 82.23%, indicating that it was highly suitable, based on the validation results, for use as a learning resource in biology education.

Abstract

This study aims to describe students’ perceptions of the implementation of the Project -Based Learning (PjBL) model combined with the use of teaching aids in learning the human respiratory system in Grade XI at SMAN 1 Bunobogu. The study employed a descriptive qualitative approach. The research subjects consisted of three students purposively selected based on different levels of ability. Data were collected through participatory observation, in-depth interviews, supporting questionnaires using a Likert scale, and documentation. Data validity was ensured through source and method triangulation, while data analysis followed the Miles and Huberman model. The results indicate positive perceptions across all three aspects. The cognitive aspect showed a supporting questionnaire score of 3.56 (good category), and the teaching aids effectively transformed abstract concepts into more concrete representations. The affective aspect, with a score of 3.58, reflected increased learning interest and motivation. The psychomotor aspect, with a score of 3.53, contributed to the development of practical skills, creativity, and teamwork.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the abundance of Scylla sp. crabs in the mangrove forest area of ​​Lalombi Village, South Banawa District, Donggala Regency. The type of research used is descriptive quantitative. The technique for determining the location for sampling is using the purposive sampling method. Sampling of Scylla sp. crabs was carried out directly by hand collection method at low tide. The population and samples in this study were all types of Scylla sp. crabs found in the research location. Data analysis was carried out by calculating the abundance index, to determine the level of abundance of the crab species found. The Scylla sp. crab samples obtained amounted to 4 species, namely Scylla tranquebarica with an abundance index of 46%, Scylla paramamosain with an abundance index of 36%, Scylla olivacea with an abundance index of 43%, and Scylla serrata crabs are the most abundant crab species with an abundance index of 49%. The abundance index value of Scylla sp. crabs obtained in the mangrove forest area of ​​Lalombi Village, South Banawa District, Donggala Regency shows a moderate level of abundance.

Abstract

This study aims to improve students' learning outcomes in Biology for Grade X students of SMK Manbaul Hikmah through the implementation of the Problem Based Learning (PBL) model. The research employed a descriptive qualitative approach using a Classroom Action Research (CAR) design conducted in two cycles. Each cycle consisted of planning, action implementation, observation, and reflection stages. Data were collected through observation sheets of teacher and student activities as well as learning outcome tests administered at the end of each cycle. The results indicate that the application of the PBL model significantly improved students' learning outcomes. In Cycle I, classical learning mastery reached 85%, while in Cycle II it increased to 92%. The 7% improvement in classical mastery demonstrates that the PBL model is effective in encouraging students to think critically, collaborate, and solve problems related to contextual learning materials. In addition, students' activity and engagement during the learning process showed continuous improvement in each cycle. Therefore, the Problem Based Learning model can be considered an effective alternative for improving Biology learning outcomes of Grade X students at SMK Manbaul Hikmah.
