Abstract

Problem-based learning (PBL) is an approach based on real-world problems that trains students to think scientifically, conduct investigations, and construct knowledge logically based on evidence. Through empirical experiences and complex problem-solving, students can improve their SPS and learning outcomes. This study aims: 1) to determine the effect of a PBL model on SPS and cognitive learning outcomes; 2) to determine the relationship between SPS and cognitive learning outcomes among students at MAN 1 West Lombok. This research method is a quantitative type of quasi-experimental research with a non-equivalent posttest control group design. The sample was 50 students in class X. The research instrument used observation sheets and tests. The data were analyzed using Manova and simple linear regression. Research has shown that PBL has a positive and significant effect on students’ SPS and cognitive learning outcomes. Furthermore, SPS play a mediating role between PBL and cognitive learning outcomes. PBL enhances students’ SPS, which in turn positively influence their learning outcomes

Abstract

21st-century education emphasizes student-centered learning to develop critical thinking, communication, and collaboration skills. However, biology classrooms still largely rely on conventional methods that place the teacher as the primary source of information. This pattern leads to passive and unmotivated students, resulting in low conceptual mastery. To address this situation, learning innovations are needed that can increase student participation and independence in learning. One relevant alternative is the Flipped Classroom model, in which students first study the material through digital media before face-to-face classroom activities take place. This study aims to improve students' understanding and cognitive learning outcomes through the application of the Flipped Classroom model to the topic of environmental change. This study used a classroom action research (CAR) method implemented in two cycles involving 20 fifth-semester students. Data analysis was conducted using the Kolmogorov–Smirnov normality test to ensure data distribution, Levene's homogeneity test to test for equality of variance, and a paired sample t-test with a significance level of 0.05 to determine differences in learning outcomes between cycles. The results of the study showed a significant increase in learning outcomes, with the average value of cycle I (M = 305.91) increasing to (M = 459.55) in cycle II. A paired t-test showed a significant difference between the two cycles (t(10) = -9.34, p < 0.001). Thus, the application of the Flipped Classroom model was proven effective in increasing student engagement, understanding, and cognitive learning outcomes in biology learning.

Abstract

Assessment in practical activities only focuses on cognitive and psychomotor aspects, while attitude assessment tends to be neglected. This condition indicates the need to develop a valid and reliable attitude assessment instrument to support a more comprehensive assessment. This study aims to develop an attitude assessment instrument based on validated and reliable observation techniques in the context of environmental pollution practical activities. This study uses a type of development research (Research and Development) with a development design that refers to the ADDIE model. The subjects of this study include: (1) Three expert validators who are lecturers of Biology Education, and (2) 36 students of class X.A SMAN 89 Jakarta. Data analysis was carried out through logical validation by experts and empirical validity and reliability tests using Product Moment correlation analysis and Cronbach's Alpha reliability formula. The results of the logical validation carried out by three experts showed that the attitude assessments assessed were all valid, with an average of 78.36%. At the implementation stage, empirical validity and reliability tests were conducted on 36 students and obtained eight valid attitude aspects with calculated r results > r table. Then all valid attitude aspects were tested for reliability and the result was 0.422, so that the instrument developed was included in the fairly reliable category.

Abstract

The objective of this study is to examine the levels of procedural and conceptual knowledge in genetic engineering topics among STEM students to provide baseline in developing effective instructional materials. Topics such as introduction to Genetic engineering, Gene Cloning, and DNA extraction were utilized to determine levels of students’types of knowledge, procedural and Conceptual. A descriptive quantitative research approach using 12-item test is used to analyze and assess both procedural and conceptual knowledge using a 5-point Likert scale was used to measure students’ understanding. A total of 12 STEM students from Concepcion National High School took part in the study during the 2023-2024 academic year. The findings of the study revealed that students demonstrated higher levels of proficiency in procedural knowledge compared to conceptual knowledge across the three topics: genetic engineering, gene cloning, and DNA extraction. There appears to be a range of understanding levels when it comes to procedural knowledge, as indicated by the higher variability. On the other hand, the lower variability in DNA extraction suggests a more consistent level of comprehension. The study's small sample size limited the use of inferential statistical methods, highlighting the importance of finding more effective teaching methods to improve students' comprehension of genetic engineering concepts. Qualitative data uncovered notable obstacles, including a dearth of interactive experiences and materials, underscoring the importance of active involvement and sufficient resources. Suggestions involve improving laboratory sessions, ensuring the availability of required materials, and implementing interactive teaching techniques to enhance students' understanding of genetic engineering. This study highlights the significance of well-rounded educational interventions to enhance both theoretical and practical knowledge in genetic engineering.
