Abstract

Population growth harms water resources in terms of both quality and quantity. The negative impact in quantity is the occurrence of environmental pollution, such as water, soil, and air pollution. The negative impact in quality is a decrease in the quality of natural resources, especially pollution of water resources in the surrounding environment, so that a decrease in the quality of clean water available to the community results in an increase in disease rates, damages aquatic ecosystems and affects economic activity in the environment. Waste disposal and management are two factors that affect environmental quality. Household garbage or waste is waste from daily activities, such as used water from bathing, washing, or cooking waste. Waste disposal and management, especially household wastes, are still poorly handled. All of these things have a huge impact on environmental pollution in Pontang Subdistrict, especially on the drinking water source for the residents of Pontang Subdistrict. This research was conducted qualitatively using survey, observation, and interview methods. The results showed that the impact of household waste in Pontang Subdistrict pollutes the environment by reducing the aesthetics of the environment, causing unpleasant odors and becoming seeds of disease material. The impact of household waste on drinking water sources in Pontang Subdistrict causes drinking water sources consumed to have a color that is not clear, smells, and tastes so that there may be microorganisms that cause various sources of digestive diseases. Implications for biology learning utilizing group discussions, field trips or project-based. The application of impact is useful for students and the community in raising awareness about the importance of environmental awareness.

Abstract

Technological advances can be used to simplify the learning process. This use includes the use of games as a product of technological progress. Games make the concepts presented interesting. One type of game that can be used is a role-playing game (RPG). RPG games are games that focus on story and character development. Students often lack the motivation to learn. Apart from that, students also have difficulty learning thermochemical concepts. This study aimed to describe the validation of thermochemical concepts RPG game learning media based on the assessment of material experts and media experts. Assessment is carried out using a validation sheet. This study used a research and development (RD) method. Then the results obtained are divided into very valid, valid, quite valid, invalid, and very invalid. Based on the material expert's assessment, the thermochemical concepts RPG game learning media was rated very valid (89%), and based on the media expert's assessment, it was rated as valid (80%), so the learning media developed could be implemented.

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to determine how well students understood dynamics principles when using the flipped classroom learning methodology. A pretest-posttest control group was included in the quasi-experimental design of the study. A total of 72 students were separated into two groups, namely the experimental group using the flipped classroom model and the control group with the conventional method. Questionnaires to gauge student impressions and two-tier multiple-choice examinations to gauge conceptual knowledge were the primary tools. According to the research findings, the experimental group's normalized gain value of 0.67 (high category) significantly outperformed the control group's 0.41 (medium category) in terms of conceptual comprehension. The two groups differed significantly (p 0.05) according to the independent t-test. These findings support the effectiveness of the flipped classroom in enhancing conceptual understanding, encouraging active student engagement, and aligning with the principles of the Merdeka Curriculum. However, the success of implementing this model is also influenced by the readiness of teachers, students, and adequate technological infrastructure. For other areas of physics, similar models should be developed, and further mixed-methods research is needed to further explore students' experiences.

Abstract

This study aimed to; (1) develop a teaching aid for the contact process of sulfuric acid production in chemical equilibrium materials; (2) to find out the influence of contact process teaching aids on increasing learning motivation. This study used a mixed-method research design with product development using RD methods (Research and Development) using ADDIE (Analyze, Design, Development, Implement, Evaluation) model of product implementation and used a quasi-experimental method to test the effectiveness of the product. The contact process props are in the form of four sets of tools consisting of reactor 1 as a place for oxygen production, reactor 2 as a place for SO2 production, a balance shift pipe as a place for SO3 production, and SO3 Absorption as a place where SO3 meets H2O to produce H2SO4. Contact process props provide students with visualizations of shifts in chemical equilibrium affected by pressure and volume. The feasibility test of material and language experts was 88.44% and the media feasibility test of 91.33% showed that contact process teaching aids on chemical equilibrium materials are very feasible as practicum media. The results of the independent t-test stated that there was an influence of the product on learning motivation with a significance value of  0.012. Contact process teaching aids provide learning with macroscopic representations to students, thus making learning about chemical equilibrium material interesting.

Abstract

Effective assessment plays a critical role in fostering students' cognitive development and academic achievement. To achieve this, pre-service mathematics and science teachers must demonstrate competencies in classifying cognitive processes and knowledge dimensions through the Revised Bloom’s Taxonomy (RBT). This study investigated the competencies of 156 pre-service teachers from mathematics, biology, physics, and chemistry education programs at a public university in Indonesia in classifying test items according to RBT. Employing a quantitative descriptive design, participants were evaluated on their ability to accurately identify both cognitive levels (C1–C6) and knowledge dimensions (factual, conceptual, procedural, and metacognitive). The results revealed strong proficiency in analyzing (C4), but notable weaknesses in applying (C3) and creating (C6)—two domains essential for developing higher-order thinking skills (HOTS). Moreover, no statistically significant differences were found between male and female participants. These findings underscore the need for strengthening teacher education curricula by integrating targeted training on RBT-based assessment design. Equipping pre-service teachers with such competencies is vital for enhancing students’ critical thinking and problem-solving abilities.
