Abstract

This study aims to determine the argumentation skills of grade 10th students towards socio-scientific issues at one of the senior high schools in Cileungsi, Bogor. This study was conducted using test and documentation techniques. The research method used is quantitative descriptive. Sampling was carried out using a purposive sampling technique; there are 128 students from 4 classes. The instruments used in this study were 5 standpoint questions related to the phenomenon of the spread of monkey pox and the test scores for virus material. The results of the study revealed that the quality of the written argumentation skills of class X students was mostly at levels 2 and 3, with an average percentage of 30.30% and 45.62% respectively. The findings imply that students are still in the process of developing higher-order thinking and scientific reasoning skills when engaging with socio-scientific issues. Therefore, science educators are encouraged to incorporate explicit argumentation-based learning strategies to promote deeper analysis, evidence-based reasoning, and the ability to construct coherent scientific arguments in response to real-world problems.

Abstract

Data literacy is an essential aspect in science and education, yet its integration in biology education remains underexplored. Competence in data literacy is essential for biology education students to conduct learning evaluation analyses that increase student learning performance. Grounded in Bandura’s social cognitive theory, this study investigates biology education undergraduates’ self-efficacy in data literacy during a statistics course. A convenience sample of 70 students completed a questionnaire assessing confidence (7 items), experience (4 items), and attitude (4 items) of data on a 5-point Likert scale. Additionally, students completed a data interpretation test (with biology-based data scenarios), rated their confidence on a 4-point Likert scale, and provided reasoning. Result revealed high levels of self-efficacy across all domains, consistent confidence during data interpretation tasks, and positive attitudes towards learning with data. The study contributes conceptually by linking perceived confidence and performance-based evidence of data literacy, highlighting implications for improving quantitative reasoning in biology education

Abstract

The global environmental crisis is not just a warning, but a call to action, and education is key. NSA Surabaya High School addresses this challenge through the unique learning innovation of kokedama, a Japanese art of farming that combines aesthetics and sustainability. More than just the practice of planting, kokedama is a powerful medium to instill ecological awareness in the younger generation. With a hands-on method combined with affective reflection, students not only learn farming skills, but also develop a deep empathy for nature and a real sense of ecological responsibility. This finding proves that contextual education can be a concrete solution to instill environmental awareness, solution to instill environmental awareness from an early age. We recommend this activity as a revolutionary strategy to create a generation of high school students who not only care but are also ready to lead the change for the sustainability of our planet.

Abstract

Metro City (Lampung, Indonesia) contains five urban forests, including Linara and Tejosari, whose fern (ferns and lycophytes) diversity has not been comprehensively documented. This study inventoried fern species composition, abundance, conservation status, and general ecological roles in both urban forests using a systematic plot approach (four 5 × 5 m plots per site; 100 m² per site). All individuals within plots were recorded and counted; taxa were identified using vegetative characters supported by field photographs, and scientific names were standardized using Plants of the World Online (POWO). Diversity was quantified using the Shannon–Wiener index (H’), and conservation status was checked using the IUCN Red List. A total of 48 species were recorded across both sites; Linara showed higher diversity (H’ = 3.23; high category) than Tejosari (H’ = 2.65; moderate category). The most abundant species differed between sites, with Drymoglossum piloselloides dominating Linara (564 individuals) and Cystopteris fragilis being most frequent in Tejosari (32 individuals). Taxonomically, species richness was concentrated in a few families, especially Polypodiaceae (16 species), while other families contributed fewer species. Differences between sites are indicate that the two locations provide different microhabitat conditions, particularly regarding the availability of shaded and humid areas that support the existence of ferns. The findings of the dominance fern family and differences in the most abundant species in each location confirm that variations in habitat structure and levels of disturbance in urban green spaces have the potential to shape local fern communities. Therefore, urban forest management needs to prioritize the maintenance of key microhabitats and habitat continuity to maintain fern diversity.
