Abstract

This study aims to develop a Student Worksheet (LKPD) integrated with Qur'anic verses and Hadith on the digestive system topic for senior high school students, as well as to determine its validity and practicality. The development model used was ADDIE, although the study was limited to the Analysis and Design stages. The instruments consisted of expert validation sheets (material, media, language, and Islamic studies experts) and practicality questionnaires for students and biology teachers. The validation results indicated that the LKPD was categorized as very valid, with the following scores: Islamic studies expert 94.66%, material expert 93.33%, media expert 97.33%, and language expert 97.33%. The practicality test results showed that the LKPD was rated very practical by students with a score of 89% and by biology teachers with a score of 90.66%. Accordingly, the Qur'an- and Hadith-integrated LKPD is considered feasible and suitable for use as a learning resource for the digestive system topic.

Abstract

Physics teaching materials in Islamic schools frequently prioritise conceptual mastery while neglecting the integration of Islamic values and the cultivation of self-regulated learning (SRL), despite both being mandated objectives of Indonesian national education. This study aimed to develop, validate, and assess the practicality and effectiveness of a Qur’an-integrated Student Worksheet (Lembar Kerja Peserta Didik, LKPD) on Newton’s Laws designed to strengthen SRL among seventh-grade students. A Research and Development design following the ADDIE model was employed. Participants comprised two expert validators (subject-matter and media specialists), one physics teacher, and 59 seventh-grade students from MTs Ma’arif Gondang, Indonesia, distributed between an experimental class (VII-A, n = 30) and a control class (VII-B, n = 29). The LKPD was evaluated for validity, practicality, and effectiveness. Expert validation yielded a mean score of 4.39 out of 5.00 (87.8%), placing the product in the “Very Valid” category. Practicality assessment by students and teacher produced a mean score of 3.70 out of 4.00 (92.5%), classified as “Very Practical”. Effectiveness was examined through a pre-test–post-test quasi-experimental design; the experimental group achieved a mean normalised gain (N-Gain) of 57%, exceeding the control group’s 42%. An independent-samples t-test confirmed a statistically significant difference (t = 2.989 > t = 1.673; df = 57; Alpha = .05). These findings indicate that Qur’an-integrated instructional materials can meaningfully advance both conceptual understanding and self-regulatory capacities in secondary physics education.

Abstract

Science literacy among Indonesian elementary school students remains below international benchmarks, while locally grounded instructional approaches that integrate sustainability education are still limited. This study investigated the effect of the Pancaniti learning model, a five-stage pedagogical framework based on Sundanese values, combined with flashcard media and a simple biogas project, on fifth-grade students’ science literacy. A one-group pre-test–post-test quasi-experimental design was conducted with 32 Grade 5 students at SDN Purwamekar selected through purposive sampling. Science literacy was measured using three PISA-aligned indicators: identifying scientific problems, explaining scientific phenomena, and using scientific evidence. Data analysis employed the Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test due to non-normal post-test data. Results showed a significant improvement in science literacy, with mean scores increasing from 6.44 to 8.44 (Z = ?4.112, p < .001) and a large effect size (r = 0.727). The overall N-Gain was 0.58 (moderate), with the highest gain in using scientific evidence (0.72; high). These findings indicate that the Pancaniti model effectively enhances elementary students’ science literacy.

Abstract

Lake Limboto in Gorontalo is an essential ecosystem for local communities, particularly fishermen, yet fish-pond activities have increased sedimentation and accelerated the lake's degradation. Effective conservation efforts require sediment-characterization analysis, including vertical sediment profiles in pond areas, which has been limited by the lack of appropriate drilling techniques. This study aims to evaluate a vertical sediment-sampling technique in fish-pond zones using a survey method and shallow drilling with an XY-1A spindle-type drilling machine at depths of 1–15 meters. The results indicate that drilling stability is strongly influenced by the structural integrity of the machine's support base, particularly due to water currents and waves in the lake. This drilling technique is recommended for sediment sampling in Lake Limboto, especially in pond areas, and contributes to the advancement of sediment-drilling methods in similar aquatic environments.

Abstract

This study is a research and development (R&D) study aimed at producing an electronic student worksheet (E-LKPD) based on Problem-Based Learning (PBL) assisted by the Wizer.me website on the topic of buffer solutions. The development model employed was the 4-D model, comprising the define, design, develop, and disseminate stages; however, this study was limited to the develop stage. The research instruments included interview guidelines, validation sheets, teacher practicality questionnaires, and student response questionnaires. The research subjects consisted of three chemistry lecturers from FMIPA UNP, two chemistry teachers from SMA Pertiwi 1 Padang, and Phase F students of SMA Pertiwi 1 Padang in the 2025/2026 academic year. The data collected were primary data analysed through validity and practicality tests. The expert validity test yielded an average Aiken's V index of 0.91, categorised as valid. The practicality test results indicated mean scores of 96% from teachers and 90% from students, both categorised as very practical. Based on these findings, it can be concluded that the developed PBL-based E-LKPD assisted by Wizer.me is valid, highly practical, and feasible for use as a chemistry learning medium on buffer solution material.

Abstract

Livestock are routinely exposed to environmental, nutritional, managerial, and infectious stressors that challenge the neuroendocrine and immune systems. Dysregulation of this integrated axis is increasingly recognised as a principal driver of reduced health resilience and productive performance. This systematic literature review characterised the molecular mechanisms underlying neuroendocrine–immune homeostasis in livestock, identified major disruption categories triggered by stressor exposure, and synthesised evidence-based mitigation strategies. Forty-one peer-reviewed articles from 2020–2026 were retrieved from Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar and analysed through data reduction, display, and conclusion drawing. Findings indicate that chronic HPA axis over-activation triggers six inter-related disturbances: periparturient immunosuppression, Th1/Th2 imbalance, reproductive hormone dysregulation, pro-inflammatory cytokine dysregulation, heat-stress-induced endocrine disruption, and negative energy balance collectively heightening susceptibility to mastitis and metritis while suppressing reproductive efficiency and growth. Effective mitigation requires adaptive housing, precision nutrition, and evidence-based welfare practices to sustain livestock productivity in tropical systems.

Abstract

Through an analytical synthesis comparing similarities and differences across various studies, this literature review identifies research trends dominated by qualitative approaches among Grade XI students with a focus on acids and bases, as well as multilevel diagnostic instruments for student misconceptions in chemistry. The review highlights research gaps in the integration of multilevel chemical representations, acknowledges the limitations of prior studies that remain largely descriptive without comprehensive conceptual mapping, and proposes future research directions in the form of evidence-based pedagogical interventions to address student misconceptions about acids and bases. This situation is further compounded by the dominance of rote-learning methods that neglect deeper understanding at the submicroscopic level. Therefore, the instructional approach recommended is the integration of guided inquiry, which is capable of bridging students' understanding from the macroscopic to the submicroscopic perspective through technology-based simulations and laboratory experiments.

Abstract

Formal chemistry learning frequently encounters obstacles in the form of student misconceptions and a disconnect between abstract concepts and everyday life, contributing to Indonesia's low scientific literacy scores in PISA 2022. This study examines the reconstruction of ethnochemistry as an integrative learning approach for atomic concepts and analyses its contribution to facilitating scientific literacy while revitalising students' cultural and civic literacy. Employing a descriptive qualitative narrative literature review, data were gathered from credible scientific articles published between 2020 and 2025. The findings indicate that ethnochemistry effectively reconstructs abstract atomic structure concepts into concrete understanding by integrating local wisdom contexts such as batik-making and traditional fermentation. This approach enhances conceptual understanding, minimises misconceptions, and sharpens science process skills. Furthermore, ethnochemistry-based atomic learning strengthens cultural and civic literacy through the internalisation of character values including mutual cooperation, patriotism, and multicultural awareness and supports the formation of the Pancasila Student Profile. Optimising this approach requires innovation in digital media such as e-flipbooks and Augmented Reality, alongside reinforced implementation of the Merdeka Curriculum. These findings underscore the importance of uniting cognitive and affective dimensions within a cultural framework to nurture a generation that is scientifically literate and strong in national character.

Abstract

Understanding of basic science concepts is often hindered by students' misconceptions regarding phenomena in their surroundings. If left unaddressed, these misconceptions will obscure and interfere with students' future comprehension of more complex physics material. This study aims to identify the patterns of misconceptions among elementary school students on the topics of gravity and potential energy, evaluate the effectiveness of the diagnostic instruments used, and identify the contributing factors. Employing a descriptive qualitative approach, this systematic literature review analyses various scientific sources published between 2022 and 2026. The findings reveal consistent conceptual errors, particularly the assumption that mass affects the falling speed of an object and the belief that potential energy exists only in moving objects. The primary triggering factors include students' personal intuition, conventional teaching methods, and limitations in visual media. In conclusion, the regular implementation of tiered diagnostic instruments, accompanied by a shift toward technology-based learning models, is essential for overcoming these learning obstacles.
