Abstract

Methyl orange dye is an organic pollutant often found in textile industry waste and harms the environment due to its nature, which makes it difficult to decompose naturally. One method that has attracted attention in its processing is the Photo-Fenton process, which utilizes hydroxyl radicals (•OH) as powerful degradation agents. This article summarizes recent developments in applying heterogeneous Photo-Fenton to Methyl Orange degradation, focusing on degradation efficiency, factors influencing reactions, and degradation pathways. This study discusses the influence of reaction parameters such as initial pH, H₂O₂ concentration, catalyst concentration and light intensity on the degradation rate. In addition, various types of heterogeneous catalysts, including metal oxide-based and ferrous composites, were analyzed based on their effectiveness and stability in the Photo-Fenton system. The Methyl Orange degradation pathway is proposed based on an intermediate product identified in previous studies, suggesting that the reaction proceeds through a gradual oxidation mechanism until simpler and more environmentally friendly compounds are formed. The results of this study show that the heterogeneous Photo-Fenton system provides advantages over homogeneous systems, especially in increasing degradation efficiency and prolonging the catalyst reactivity cycle. The use of heterogeneous catalysts allows for the formation of larger numbers of active species, thus accelerating the breaking of the Methyl Orange structure. In addition, further research is needed to improve the stability of the catalyst, optimize reaction conditions, and evaluate its potential application on an industrial scale. This study will be a reference for developing a more efficient and sustainable Photo-Fenton-based waste treatment method.

Abstract

21st-century learning emphasises the importance of creative thinking skills through the STEAM approach, including developing STEAM-based learning models and tools. This study aims to develop a STEAM-integrated assessment instrument to measure students' creative thinking skills, as well as to determine students’ perceptions of the assessment instrument. The research and development (R&D) method produces effective and efficient educational products through improvement, development, and evaluation. The research was conducted at SMAN 1 Jambi City and SMA Adhyaksa 1 Jambi City, involving 40 students in class XI. The instrument was developed in the form of description questions on static fluid material. The results showed that students' perception was very positive, with an average assessment of 83.15% for the category ‘Very Feasible’. Validation consists of 3 aspects, namely material, language, and evaluation aspects, which show most aspects of the instrument are in the ‘very feasible’ to ‘feasible’ category. Nine of the 11 questions tested were declared valid, while 2 needed revision. The difficulty level of the questions varied from ‘moderate’ to ‘difficult’. These findings indicate that the instrument developed is feasible for measuring students' creative thinking skills in static fluid material with the STEAM approach. The novelty of this research lies in integrating STEAM components into assessment instruments that assess concept understanding and encourage the development of students' creativity.

Abstract

Student learning motivation is an important factor that influences the success of the learning process. This study aims to analyze the learning motivation of junior high school students in Surabaya City, especially in science learning, without the intervention of a particular learning model or approach. This research design uses a survey design with quantitative data collection methods. The learning motivation instrument is a learning motivation questionnaire containing 12 statements based on ARCS indicators: attention, relevance, confidence, and satisfaction. The sample of this study consisted of 88 students, 32 female students and 56 male students, and the sampling technique used was cluster sampling. The data obtained were analyzed descriptively quantitatively using a Likert scale to determine the average of each indicator of student learning motivation. The results showed that the average student learning motivation reached 71% and was classified in the high category, indicating that students have a fairly good learning motivation in science learning. Therefore, it can be concluded that this research indicates that students' overall learning motivation is on the good criteria. Unfortunately, good criteria did not occur in all indicators, where the confidence indicator showed the lowest score, so there is a need to improve the confidence aspect of students so that they are more active and confident in the learning process, such as using student-centered learning models.

Abstract

Indonesia has a rich biodiversity, including numerous medicinal plants. However, their utilisation remains limited, particularly in treating degenerative diseases. This study explores the potential of local Balinese plants as herbal therapy for diabetes mellitus and hypertension through a systematic literature review. Data were collected from scientific databases such as PubMed, Google Scholar, and Science Direct, covering publications from 2018 to 2025. Out of 117 identified articles with exclusion and the same article, 13 relevant studies were selected as primary references. The analysis indicates that plant extracts from Murraya paniculata, Vitis vinifera Var. Alphonso Lavallee, Syzygium polycephalum, Antidesma bunius, Aegle marmelos, Zingiber zerumbet, Elaeocarpus grandiflora, Artocarpus altilis, Impatiens balsamina, Tagetes erecta, Vitex trifolia, and Punica granatum show potential in managing degenerative diseases. Their bioactive compounds, including flavonoids, phenolics, tannins, terpenoids, alkaloids, and saponins, act by inhibiting key enzymes, enhancing insulin sensitivity, reducing oxidative stress, and modulating lipid metabolism. These findings suggest that Balinese local plants have promising potential as natural therapies for degenerative diseases, warranting further clinical validation.

Abstract

Critical thinking is a fundamental skill in science education, yet many elementary students struggle to develop it due to conventional teaching methods that limit active participation. Electrical circuit concepts are often presented theoretically without hands-on application, making it difficult for students to grasp them fully. As a result, they face challenges in understanding electric current flow, series and parallel circuits and assembling circuits correctly. This study investigates the effectiveness of integrating  PhET simulations with songs to enhance students' critical thinking skills in learning electrical circuits. A quasi-experimental design with a Nonequivalent Control Group was used, involving 40 students selected through total sampling. The control group (Class VA) received conventional instruction supplemented with videos, while the experimental group (Class VB) engaged in learning through  PhET simulations combined with song and project-based learning. Data collection included written tests based on critical thinking indicators, interviews, and documentation. Statistical analysis comprised independent t-tests and N-Gain calculations. The t-test analysis, with a calculated t-value of  9.367, showed that students in the experimental group experienced significantly higher improvements in critical thinking skills than those in the control group. The experimental class achieved an average N-Gain score of 0.83 (high category), whereas the control class reached only 0.22 (low category). This finding shows that integrating PhET simulations with songs can improve students' critical thinking skills. In addition, supporting the Project Based Learning method allows students to apply their knowledge to real-world projects, encouraging deeper exploration and problem-solving skills. This research presents an innovative method for fostering critical thinking through interactive learning. Further research can investigate its implementation in different subjects to refine and expand effective teaching strategies.

Abstract

The lack of science learning in learning bored students, and many students are not active in learning. To overcome this, needed learning media. The card media in this study is a triangular card with questions and answers in text or images. This study aims to describe the learning steps with card media that can improve student learning activities. This study applies classroom action research consisting of two cycles. The study subjects were 28 grade VI students of UPT Satuan Pendidikan SDN Kejapanan II. Data collection tools used include interviews and guidelines for observing student learning activities. The interview technique is to find data by asking students questions verbally after learning. The interview aims to determine students' difficulties in following learning with card media. The second technique is observation, which aims to determine the completeness of student activities while learning to use card media. From these two techniques, data is obtained and then analyzed according to needs. Based on the study's results, it can be concluded that card media can improve student learning activities. In cycle I, the average score of student activity was 83.8%, while in cycle II, it was 93.3%. Thus, there was an increase of 10%. This increase can be seen from students' enthusiastic learning activities towards using card media guided by the research instrument. The suggestions submitted are: (1) To facilitate the use of card media, detailed rules should be made so that there are no errors and chaos during the implementation of using card media; (2) Card media can develop various subjects, not only science because elementary school children are very interested in the concept of learning while playing.
