Dissemination of news through social media is one of the biggest causes of increasing student’s trust in pseudoscience. The purpose of this correlational study was to analyze the relationship between belief in science and pseudoscience beliefs related to biology in high school students. This research entails a correlational study conducted through a survey methodology. The results of the study show that the ability to believe in science has a significant effect on students' belief in pseudoscience related to biology for high school students. Based on the research, the initial hypothesis of the study was rejected, that there is a positive relationship between belief in science and belief in pseudoscience related to biology, thus indicating that increasing students' confidence in science will also increase students' confidence in pseudoscience related to biology. This is due to the continuous spread of unscientific issues through social media which will affect the increase in trust in pseudoscience. The increase in pseudoscience is due to the lack of student media literacy so that it can affect the way students respond to news that is on social media. The lack of education regarding students' media literacy is a factor in increasing students' confidence in pseudoscience related to biology for high school students.

Publications on environmental literacy (EL) in reputable international journals have continued to increase and develop in the last two decades, making it interesting to study. This systematic literature review (SLR) aims to investigatively review various studies published in journals indexed in the Scopus database related to EL. The review focuses on publication trends and valuable lessons to be learned from global research over the past two decades. We used the phrase “environmental literature” in the Scopus disbursement menu and found 296 articles. The inclusion and exclusion model used is PRISMA, so only 37 articles met the criteria to be analyzed. Data shows that EL publications have fluctuated, starting to increase in number from 2017 to 2023 although it had decreased in 2021. EL publications are mostly researched using quantitative methods, and some with qualitative, mix-method, and R&D. The dominant name in EL studies is F. X. Bogner. The two main keywords related to the EL keyword are environmental education and knowledge. Most of the articles published are collaborative, both internationally and between universities within one country. We discussed the valuable lessons in question, namely the sample size, gender, institution level, and main goal of each article. These findings can serve as a consideration or baseline for researchers to study EL according to their respective interests, needs and missions.

The purpose of this study was to improve students’ problem-solving ability and metacognitive self-regulation (MSR) by applying science technology society (STS) learning model integrated with metacognitive self-regulation. The participants were 13 students from Department of Biology Education who took microbiology courses. A quasi-experimental method with one-group pre and posttest design was used in this study. Data were collected through pre and posttest with eight open ended questions to measure students’ problem-solving ability on four microbiology topics (food, pathogen, waste and water microbiology). These topics were studied sequentially in two months. The instrument used to measure MSR is a questionnaire with open-ended questions. This questionnaire was developed based on three aspects of MSR namely, planning, monitoring and evaluation. MSR questionnaire was administered to students at the end of each topic. The N-gain test was used to analyze the improvement of students' problem-solving ability on each topic. The average score of all aspects in MSR questionnaire was used to explore students’ metacognitive self-regulation. The correlation between MSR and problem-solving ability was analyzed using Pearson correlation. The results revealed that the N gain score of problem-solving ability was increased from 0.56 in the first topic to 0.7 in the next three topics. The average of MSR score also increased from 66.15 in the first topic to 87.23 in fourth topic. There was a positive correlation between students’ MSR and problem-solving ability. These results indicated that application of Science Technology Society integrated with MSR is an effective strategy in improving students’ problem-solving ability and MSR.

Abstract: Creativity is one of the important skills that teachers must have today. Creativity can be defined as the human ability to generate new and valuable ideas. In addition, creativity is considered as a basic competency that needs to be possessed by students in higher education. The purpose of this study was to determine the creativity of prospective biology teachers and its relationship with students' knowledge mastery. For this purpose, a descriptive and correlational study was conducted on 13 biology pre-service students. The instrument used in this study was the Torrance creativity test based on 4 creativity indicators: fluency, flexibility, originality and elaboration. Descriptive and correlational analyses were conducted to identify students' creativity profiles and the relationship between students' creativity and their knowledge mastery. The results showed that there were three types of creativity owned by prospective biology teacher students, namely students with low (38.46%), medium (38.46%) and high (23, 07%) levels of creativity. The correlation test results show that concept mastery correlates with student creativity (r=0.3). The conclusion of this study is that prospective biology teacher students have different creativity, and there is a correlation between students' concept mastery and their creativity level so that there needs to be an effort from lecturers by designing learning strategies that can increase student creativity and concept mastery.

Lack of public knowledge, interest, and motivation regarding the benefits of vegetables as well as the development of vegetable cultivation techniques that are easy to apply on limited land have resulted in low levels of daily vegetable consumption. One effort to overcome the low consumption of vegetables is to increase knowledge about nutrition and nutrition contained in them by using booklet media. This research aims to develop a booklet with an attractive and easy-to-understand design, to increase interest in consuming and motivation to cultivate vegetables. Based on the results of media and material expert feasibility tests, the aquaponics booklet obtained a result of 92% in the very suitable category, while user testing in the development process obtained a result of 94% in the very suitable for use category. Based on the results of the t test, the 2-tailed Sig value was 0.009 <0.05, which means there was a significant increase in knowledge about vegetables after participants took part in aquaponics training. The results of the correlation test show that there is a high and positive relationship between interest in consuming vegetables and motivation to grow vegetables with a correlation of 0.676. Thus, it can be concluded that the vegetable aquaponics booklet has met the feasibility based on user testing and can increase knowledge, consumption interest, and motivation to grow vegetables..

Prospective Science teachers need well-developed science and digital literacy to help the process of thinking, learning, communicating, working together, and working with their creativity. Unfortunately, various studies show that students' abilities regarding these two types of literacy still need to improve, especially in first-year students. This study aims to (1) analyze the potential impact of the ERIC learning model with the lesson study-based TPACK framework on science and digital literacy and (2) analyze the contribution of lesson study implementation during ERIC learning to the professional development of educators. This study used a concurrent mixed method. In-depth analysis through lesson study was conducted during the implementation of the ERIC learning model in a quasi-experimental setting. The collected data was then analyzed using the ANCOVA test to reveal the difference in mean scores between the experimental and control classes. At the same time, the results of learning observations and reflection on the lesson study phase were analyzed qualitatively. The results showed that the ERIC learning model with the TPACK framework had a significant effect on scientific and digital literacy. In addition, implementing lesson study enables educators to become more aware of students' learning difficulties and needs and, therefore, develop deeper knowledge about learning requirements

Biological literacy is crucial for students to consider solutions to problems after analyzing them from various perspectives. The purpose of this research is to enhance biological literacy by using ARVi (Augmented Reality Virus) learning media. The research type is a quasi-experiment using a control group pretest-posttest design. The research instrument is a multiple-choice test validated by experts and empirical validation. The expert validation result shows an average score of 3.8, which can be interpreted as the test instrument being valid and suitable for use as a biological literacy measurement tool. The empirical validation result indicates that 3 questions are invalid, while 17 questions are valid as a biological literacy measurement tool. The reliability test result shows that the biological literacy test instrument has a reliability coefficient of 0.835, which can be interpreted as 70% confidence that the instrument can be trusted. The data analysis result shows that the data is normally distributed and not homogeneous. The independent t-test result is a t-statistic of 3.16 with a t-table of 1.98 at an α=0.05. This indicates that there is an increase in results between the control group to experimental group. The paired t-test result is a t-statistic of 15.7 with a t-table of 0.68 at an α=0.05. This indicates that there is an increase in posttest results compared to pretest results. This indicates that the ARVi media can enhance all aspects of biological literacy. The highest increase in biological literacy occurs in the nominal (82%), multidimensional (64%), structural (52%), and functional (32%).
