Abstract

Comparative Efficiency of KOH-Activated Rice Husk Carbon in Adsorbing Pollutants from Laundry and Tofu Wastewater. This study aims to compare the adsorption capacity of rice husk-based activated carbon in overcoming pollution from two types of liquid waste, namely laundry waste and tofu liquid waste. The raw material of rice husk is processed through a carbonization process and chemical activation using potassium hydroxide (KOH), then used in a batch adsorption test. The parameters analyzed include Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD), Total Dissolved Solids (TDS), and Total Suspended Solids (TSS). The results show that the adsorbent material produced is able to reduce pollutant levels significantly. COD and TDS are more effectively reduced in laundry waste because the organic content and surfactants are more easily adsorbed, while TSS experiences a greater decrease in tofu waste due to the high suspended solids content. The adsorption process follows the Langmuir isotherm model with the regression values for both laundry and tofu wastewater of  R2>0.9, which indicates the occurrence of monolayer adsorption on the surface. This biosorbent has proven to be economical, environmentally friendly, and has the potential to be applied on a small scale, especially for household industries such as laundry businesses and tofu production. In addition to being relevant for local contexts, this approach can also be adopted globally in areas with high rice husk availability and similar waste management problems.

Abstract

Profiling Self-Regulated Learning and ICT Utilization among Chemistry Education Students in the Digital Era. In the digital era, chemistry education faces dual challenges: fostering students’ self-regulated learning (SRL) while optimizing the use of information and communication technology (ICT). This study aims to profile the levels of SRL and the extent of ICT utilization among chemistry education students, providing insights into how both aspects intersect in supporting academic success. A descriptive quantitative design was employed, involving 26 third-year chemistry education students at Universitas Negeri Makassar. Data were collected through two instruments: an SRL questionnaire covering dimensions of goal setting, planning, time management, learning strategies, self-monitoring, motivation, and self-reflection, and an ICT utilization questionnaire addressing access to digital resources, use of learning applications, participation in online discussions, digital collaboration, and creativity in ICT-supported chemistry learning. Responses were analyzed using descriptive statistics and thematic analysis of open-ended items. The results revealed that students’ SRL abilities ranged from moderate to high, with notable strengths in goal setting, planning, and reflection, but persistent challenges in time management and independent study. In contrast, ICT utilization was consistently high across all dimensions, showing strong reliance on digital resources and collaborative tools. A comparative analysis indicated that students rely more on external ICT support than on internal self-regulatory strategies. The study concludes that while ICT integration in learning is robust, strengthening SRL remains essential to balance technology use with sustainable learning autonomy. These findings suggest the need for instructional designs that deliberately embed SRL-enhancing components into ICT-based learning, aligning with the demands of the digital era and the pursuit of quality education

Abstract

This systematic literature review, conducted using the PRISMA method, synthesizes research on the development of critical thinking assessment instruments in junior high school science education between 2016 and 2025. Secondary data were obtained through the Publish or Perish application with sources from Google Scholar, keywords include science learning, assessment instruments, and critical thinking. By analyzing 7 peer-reviewed national journals, the study evaluates the validity, reliability, and effectiveness of these tools in enhancing students' critical thinking skills. The findings highlight diverse assessment models, their impact on student learning outcomes, and the challenges faced by educators in implementing these tools. This review offers recommendations for improving the design and application of critical thinking assessments in science curricula.

Abstract

Seaweed cultivation (Kappaphycus alvarezii) is the primary source of livelihood for the coastal communities of Tanjung Village, Pamekasan, Madura. This study aims to examine the role of local wisdom in seaweed conservation, including traditional practices that support the coastal ecosystem. The research employed a qualitative approach using semi-structured interviews conducted with 15 key informants, including seaweed farmers, traditional leaders, and village officials. This was followed by a Focus Group Discussion (FGD) with 10 participants from seaweed farmer groups to confirm data and collectively discuss conservation and local wisdom issues. The collected data were analyzed using thematic analysis techniques to establish the relationship between traditional practices and the sustainability of seaweed. The study indicates that the local wisdom practiced by the Tanjung Village community, such as sasi rules (a traditional prohibition system) and traditional planting methods, contributes significantly to the conservation of Kappaphycus alvarezii seaweed. This local wisdom not only preserves the availability of seaweed resources but also strengthens social cohesion within the community. The integration of local wisdom with modern technology has the potential to enhance the effectiveness of conservation and seaweed productivity. Recommendations for advancing the cultivation of Kappaphycus alvarezii in Tanjung Village include: Collaboration between modern science and traditional practices is necessary to develop environmentally friendly and productive cultivation techniques, and the development of a community-based conservation model involving traditional leaders, farmers, and village officials is crucial for sustainable seaweed resource management.
