Abstract

This research aims to determine the profile of science practicum lectures, logical thinking abilities, and systems thinking skills of prospective science teacher students in Sorong Regency. This research is a case study with pre-research, implementation, and final/post-research stages. The subjects of this research were students who were or had contracted for science practicum course. The instruments used are analysis lists, logical thinking test instruments, systems thinking scales, and systems thinking skills tests. Interviews were also conducted to support the data that had been obtained. The research results show that (1) the practicum activities that have been running so far have only trained skills in collecting, processing, and analyzing scientific research data. (2) The contents of the practicum instructions do not train students' thinking skills, such as critical thinking, systems, or problem-solving. (3) Students' logical thinking abilities are relatively evenly distributed at proportional, correlational, and combinatorial reasoning levels; however, the majority of students have reasoning in the transitional category, and there is quite a high level of concrete reasoning. (4) Students' systems thinking skills are relatively low, especially forest thinking skills. Different and innovative practicum lecture approaches need to be developed to improve logical thinking and systems thinking skills for prospective science teacher students in Sorong Regency. Low levels of logical thinking and systems thinking skills will have implications for achieving skills at the next level, such as the skills needed today, namely 21st-century skills.

Abstract

This study examines the effectiveness of integrating Self-Directed Learning (SDL) and Project-Based Learning (PjBL) in enhancing students' scientific reasoning skills in biology education. An explanatory sequential mixed-methods design was employed, combining a quasi-experimental one-group pretest–posttest design with qualitative exploration. The participants were 30 undergraduate students in biology education. Quantitative data were collected using a scientific reasoning test, while qualitative data were obtained through semi-structured interviews and reflective writings. The results showed a significant improvement in students’ scientific reasoning scores (p < 0.001) with a very large effect size (Cohen’s d = 2.35). Qualitative findings indicated that learning independence, authentic problem-solving, metacognitive reflection, and scientific collaboration contributed to this improvement. The integration of SDL and PjBL fosters a student-centered learning environment that supports cognitive and metacognitive development. This study offers an integrated pedagogical model and practical implications for enhancing higher-order thinking skills in biology education. Peran Self-Directed Learning dalam Meningkatkan Kemampuan Penalaran Ilmiah: Integrasi Project-Based Learning pada Mahasiswa Pendidikan Biologi ABSTRAK: Penelitian ini bertujuan mengkaji efektivitas integrasi Self-Directed Learning (SDL) dan Project-Based Learning (PjBL) dalam meningkatkan kemampuan penalaran ilmiah mahasiswa pendidikan biologi. Penelitian menggunakan desain explanatory sequential mixed methods dengan pendekatan kuasi-eksperimen one-group pretest–posttest dan eksplorasi kualitatif. Sebanyak 30 mahasiswa berpartisipasi dalam penelitian ini. Data kuantitatif diperoleh melalui tes penalaran ilmiah, sedangkan data kualitatif dikumpulkan melalui wawancara semi-terstruktur dan refleksi tertulis. Hasil menunjukkan adanya peningkatan signifikan pada skor penalaran ilmiah mahasiswa (p < 0,001) dengan ukuran efek sangat besar (Cohen’s d = 2,35). Temuan kualitatif mengungkap bahwa kemandirian belajar, pemecahan masalah autentik, refleksi metakognitif, dan kolaborasi ilmiah berkontribusi terhadap peningkatan penalaran ilmiah. Integrasi SDL dan PjBL menciptakan lingkungan pembelajaran yang berpusat pada mahasiswa serta mendukung proses kognitif dan metakognitif. Penelitian ini berkontribusi dalam pengembangan model pembelajaran terintegrasi untuk meningkatkan keterampilan berpikir tingkat tinggi dalam pendidikan biologi

Abstract

This study is important due to the need for innovative learning media to help students understand abstract biological concepts effectively. This study aims to determine the effect of utilizing Augmented Reality (AR) in cell structure learning on the improvement of students' conceptual understanding at SMP Negeri 1 Aifat Timur. This study uses a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental method and a nonequivalent control group design. The research sample consists of two classes, namely the experimental class using AR and the control class with conventional learning. The instrument used was a concept understanding test administered through a pretest and posttest. Data were analyzed using normality tests, homogeneity tests, independent sample t-tests, and N-Gain. The results showed a significant difference between the experimental and control classes with a significance value of 0.000 < 0.05. The average improvement (N-Gain) of the experimental class was 0.63 (moderate), higher than that of the control class at 0.38. These findings indicate that AR effectively enhances students' conceptual understanding. The novelty lies in applying AR as an interactive medium to visualize abstract cell structures at the junior high level, supporting improved biology education quality.

Abstract

Purpose of the study: This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of integrating life skills education into futsal extracurricular activities in vocational high schools. The research was conducted in response to the limited application of life skills learning in sports-based programs, particularly in futsal, which is often focused merely on technical performance. Methodology: The study employed a quantitative descriptive approach using the CIPP (Context, Input, Process, Product) model. The participants were 13 students purposively selected from the extracurricular futsal program at Vocational High School Muhammadiyah Kutawinangun. Data were collected using validated questionnaires to measure life skills and performance tests to assess basic futsal skills (dribbling, passing, and shooting). The data were analyzed using paired sample t-tests and N-Gain to determine the effectiveness of the intervention. Main Findings: The results showed a significant improvement in students’ life skills (M = 50.69; t = 8.957; p < 0.001) and a moderate improvement in futsal skills (M = 9.39; t = 3.501; p = 0.004). The integration of structured life skills learning within futsal training proved effective in developing students’ teamwork, communication, and self-management abilities. Novelty/Originality of this study: The novelty of this study lies in its systematic combination of sports pedagogy and life skills education within an extracurricular setting, providing a new model for holistic learning in vocational education. The findings have practical implications for educators and policymakers in designing sports-based learning models that foster students’ personal, social, and professional competencies in alignment with 21st-century education goals.
