Abstract

Creative thinking skills are a crucial component of 21st-century competencies, particularly in issue-based learning such as environmental pollution. This study aimed to examine the effectiveness of the EMKONTAN learning model in enhancing students’ creative thinking skills regarding environmental pollution. A quasi-experimental design with a non-equivalent control group was employed. The participants were seventh-grade students from a junior high school in Bandung, Indonesia. The sample consisted of two classes, with 27 students in the experimental group and 27 students in the control group. The instruments used in this study included several data collection tools, namely observation sheets used to assess students’ creative thinking skills during learning activities, written achievement tests used to measure students’ understanding of environmental pollution concepts, and student questionnaires used to collect information regarding students’ responses to the implementation of the EMKONTAN learning model. Data were analyzed using the Mann-Whitney test, revealing a significant difference between the experimental and control groups (p = 0.047 < 0.05). The normalized gain (N-Gain) score of 0.78 indicated a high level of improvement, with the originality indicator showing the greatest gain and fluency the lowest. The EMKONTAN model, grounded in real-life contexts, effectively facilitated the connection between learning and the students’ environment, promoting meaningful and creative ideas. These findings suggest that the EMKONTAN model is a practical and effective approach for environmentally-themed learning to enhance students’ creative thinking skills.

Abstract

Critical thinking is an important component in 21st-century Biology education, which demands the ability to critically analyze scientific concepts and information. However, students' critical thinking skills are still relatively low. This study aims to describe the profile of critical thinking skills of eleventh-grade students at a high school in North Sulawesi on the human digestive system. The method used is a quantitative approach with a descriptive design. The sample consisted of 19 randomly selected students. The research instrument was a test developed based on five critical thinking indicators according to Ennis, providing simple explanations, building basic skills, concluding, providing advanced explanations, and developing strategies and tactics. Data were analyzed descriptively quantitatively by looking at the percentage of achievement in each indicator. The results showed that most students' critical thinking skills were in the low category. As many as 74% of students were very low in providing simple explanations, and 89% were in the very low category in the advanced explanation indicator. The highest achievement only reached the sufficient category. These findings indicate that conventional Biology learning practices have not been able to encourage the development of critical thinking skills optimally. Therefore, this study emphasizes the importance of implementing profile-based diagnostic assessments and integrating active, contextual learning strategies that are oriented towards higher-order thinking skills in Biology learning.

Abstract

The enhancement of students’ sustainability competencies remains a critical challenge in higher education. While project-based learning approaches have been effective in improving students’ problem-solving and collaboration abilities, their capacity to address complex environmental and sustainability issues is still limited. To overcome these limitations, this study developed and validated a Project-Based Environmental Education (PjBEE) model that integrates project-based learning with sustainability-oriented education. Employing a Research and Development (R&D), this study aimed to determine the model’s validity, practicality, and effectiveness in enhancing students’ sustainability competencies. The PjBEE model was implemented in environmental education courses and structured around six stages: Inquiring, Collaborating, Decision Making, Digital Action Planning, Creating Artifacts, and Action. Research instruments included expert validation sheets, observation sheets, student response questionnaires, and sustainability competency tests. The validation results confirmed that the PjBEE model met the criteria of high validity, feasibility, and practicality. Implementation findings demonstrated positive student engagement and significant improvement in sustainability competencies particularly in systems thinking, collaboration, strategic planning, and problem-solving. Therefore, the PjBEE model can serve as a pedagogically sound and empirically supported framework for integrating sustainability education into higher education curricula, particularly in biology teacher education programs.

Abstract

This study addresses the persistent challenge of low critical thinking skills and inadequate conceptual understanding among junior high school students in science, particularly concerning ecology and biodiversity topics that require contextual relevance. The core gap identified is the lack of integration of contextually relevant and visually engaging teaching materials to support the development of these competencies. The research aimed to develop, validate, and evaluate the effectiveness of infographic-based learning media that integrates local environmental issues to enhance these two competencies in Grade VII students. Employing a Research and Development (R&D) approach, the study utilized the ADDIE model (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation) to systematically design and test the learning product. The implementation phase used a One-Group Pre-test–Post-test Design involving 17 students      from a public junior high school located in Gorontalo Regency, Gorontalo Province. The developed media achieved an average expert validation score of 93.74% (Very Valid Category), confirming its quality. Effectiveness analysis using the Normalized Gain (N-Gain) score demonstrated significant improvement in student outcomes: the N-Gain for critical thinking was 0.72 (High Category), and for conceptual understanding, it was 0.77 (High Category). Furthermore, the media was highly practical, with student responses showing an overwhelming 98.1% positive feedback.      Given the demonstrated high levels of validity, practicality, and effectiveness, the use of infographic-based learning media that connects abstract scientific concepts with local environmental contexts is proven to be a robust resource for fostering students' critical thinking skills and conceptual mastery in biology education.

Abstract

Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) and adolescent malnutrition remain significant public health challenges, particularly among school-aged populations. Unhealthy snacking behaviors, combined with limited science literacy, reduce adolescents’ ability to make informed dietary decisions, underscoring the urgent need for effective, school-based educational interventions. This study aimed to develop and assess the effectiveness of a Smart Snack Strategy e-module that integrates peer education and problem-based learning (PBL) to enhance science literacy. The research used a Research and Development (R&D) approach with the ADDIE model, comprising needs analysis through health screening and stakeholder consultation, followed by design, development, expert validation, and product trials. The e-module covers three main topics: the smart snack concept, basic food microbiology, and food label reading. Validation by content, language, media, and learning experts confirmed that the module is highly feasible in terms of quality and usability. Subsequent limited and broader trials with 25 students demonstrated a significant improvement in science literacy, with an average gain of 30.92 points (p < 0.05). The e-module also fostered greater motivation, problem-solving skills, and healthier snack decision-making. These findings indicate that integrating peer education and PBL is effective in promoting active learning and healthy lifestyle behaviors. Therefore, the Smart Snack Strategy e-module represents a viable and innovative medium for enhancing science literacy and supporting adolescent health promotion in school settings.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the effect of the Team Games Tournament (TGT) learning with crossword puzzles-based E-student worksheet on students’ learning interest, activity, and cognitive outcomes on the ecosystem material. This research is a quasi-experimental study using a pretest-posttest control group design. The subjects consisted of two classes: class X-2 (experimental) taught using the TGT model with crossword puzzles-based E-student worksheet, and class X-3 (control) taught using the Direct Instruction model. The TGT syntax included class presentation, team formation, games, tournament, and team recognition, while the Direct Instruction syntax included presentation of objectives and motivation, material delivery, guided practice, feedback, and independent practice. Data were collected using questionnaires (learning interest), observation sheets (learning activity), and tests (learning outcomes). The data obtained were analyzed using an independent sample t-test, which showed a significance value lower than 0.05. Students in the experimental class showed higher learning interest (71.2% > 58.9%), greater learning activity (81.15% > 59.04%), and higher cognitive outcomes (83.06 > 70.56) compared to the control class. It can be concluded that the TGT model with crossword puzzles-based E-student worksheet has a significant effect on improving students’ learning interest, activity, and cognitive outcomes. Teachers are encouraged to apply this model as a student-centered strategy to improve the quality of biology learning and to use similar interactive media to create more engaging and collaborative learning experiences.

Abstract

Creative thinking is an essential competency in biology education to support students’ problem-solving skills and learning outcomes in the 21st century. However, instructional strategies that effectively foster these abilities remain a pedagogical challenge. This study aimed to examine the relationship between creative thinking skills, problem-solving skills, and learning outcomes through the application of the Survey, Question, Read, Recite, Review (SQ3R) learning model in biology education. A correlational research design was employed involving 72 eleventh-grade students at Arjasa Public High School. Data were collected using creative thinking tests, problem-solving essay tests, and biology learning outcome assessments, and analyzed using Pearson product-moment correlation and simple linear regression. The results revealed a very strong positive correlation between creative thinking skills and problem-solving skills (r = 0.911), with creative thinking contributing 82.9% to problem-solving skills. In addition, creative thinking skills showed a strong positive correlation with learning outcomes (r = 0.613), contributing 37.5% to students’ biology learning outcomes. These findings indicate that the SQ3R learning model supports the development of creative thinking skills that are closely associated with improved problem-solving skills and learning outcomes. Therefore, SQ3R is recommended as an alternative instructional approach in biology education to promote active learning and higher-order thinking skills.
