Abstract

This study aims to compare the biology learning outcomes of students in classes X E4 and X E5 at SMA Veteran 1 Sukoharjo. Sukoharjo (a senior high school). The study used a descriptive quantitative method with an instrument in the form of a multiple-choice biology test consisting of 10 questions. The research sample involved all students in classes X E4 and X E5 in the 2025/2026 academic year, with a total of 76 respondents. Descriptive statistical analysis was conducted to obtain an initial overview of the students' Biology test results, while the prerequisite analysis tests included normality and homogeneity of variance tests. The normality test results showed that the student learning outcome data in both classes were normally distributed, and the homogeneity test results showed that the data variance was homogeneous, thus fulfilling the requirements for an independent two-sample t-test. The t-test results showed a significance value of Sig. (2-tailed) of 0.530 (> 0.05), indicating that there was no significant difference between the biology learning outcomes of students in classes X E4 and X E5 at SMA Veteran 1 Sukoharjo

Abstract

This study aims to explore the extent to which outdoor learning grounded in Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) enhances students' conceptual grasp of biodiversity, evolution, and conservation. Thirty-seven undergraduate biology education students participated in this study, which employed a quasi-experimental one-group pretest-posttest design in the Animal Biosystematics course. Data were collected using a standardized questionnaire and written cognition tests. The results showed a statistically significant improvement in students' posttest scores (M = 90.24, SD = 4.98) compared to their pretest scores (M = 81.29, SD = 3.65), with a significant effect t (36) = - 25.049, p < .001, Cohen's d = 2.17). The study of questionnaire responses revealed that over 88% of students had positive perceptions about the utilization of outdoor learning in four key areas: participation (who), learning content (what), learning environment (where), and instructional approach (how). Additionally, more than 67% of students stated they would be open to participating in future outdoor learning activities and planning that are based on ESD. Additionally, students stated that the educational experience raised their critical understanding of conservation and sustainability issues. These results imply that ESD-focused outdoor learning is an effective teaching method to promote ecological awareness and active student participation in biology classes with a sustainability focus.

Abstract

This research aligns with UMS RIP Theme 5 concerning the improvement of education and learning quality. Socioscientific Blended Project-Based Learning (SSI-PjBL) is a learning model that actively engages students through online and face-to-face activities, including reading, discussion, experimentation, data analysis, and problem-solving related to socioscientific issues in society. This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of the SSI-PjBL model in improving the higher-order thinking skills (HOTS) of biology education students at the Faculty of Teacher Training and Education (FKIP) UMS. This study employed a quasi-experimental design involving two groups of 40 students, consisting of an experimental group (20 students) taught using the SSI-PjBL model and a control group (20 students) taught using the conventional Project-Based Learning (PjBL) model. HOTS indicators measured in this study included critical thinking, analysis, evaluation, and problem-solving skills. Data were collected using HOTS-based pretest and posttest essay instruments. Data analysis was conducted using hypothesis testing and effect size analysis. Prior to hypothesis testing, assumption tests including normality and homogeneity tests were performed. Since the data were normally distributed, independent sample t-test was used as a parametric statistical test. The results showed a significant improvement in students’ HOTS in the experimental class compared to the control class. Furthermore, the effect size was calculated using Cohen’s effect size formula and produced a value of 3,190, which was categorized as high according to Cohen’s criteria. These findings indicate that the SSI-PjBL model has a strong effect on improving students’ higher-order thinking skills and can be considered an effective learning approach to support 21st-century biology education.
