Abstract

The Microteaching course trains students to understand basic teaching skills and apply them in teaching practice with fellow students. The purpose of this study was to determine students' explanation skills during teaching practice in the microteaching course. The study was conducted with Biology Education students enrolled in the Microteaching course, class A, during the 2024/2025 academic year. Data were collected using observation sheets during student teaching practice through peer teaching. The instrument used was derived from indicators' explanation skills, with answer choices on a 1-5 Likert scale. The data were analyzed descriptively by calculating the scores obtained by each indicator on the observed explanation skills, then 5 categories were created: very poor, less good, quite good, good, and very good. The results of observations on all observed explanation skills indicators showed that, on average, students were able to apply explanation skills in teaching practice in micro teaching courses with a good category. However, there were still students with very poor and poor presentations, with an emphasis on important points, and feedback indicators. It can be concluded that, on average, students were able to apply explanation skills in teaching practice; however, they still need to continue practising so that, later, when facing school field practice or when becoming real teachers in schools, they become accustomed to using these skills.

Abstract

Environmental attitudes among university students play a crucial role in supporting the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals through the development of responsible and sustainable behaviors. This study aims to analyze university students’ environmental care attitudes in the context of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). A descriptive quantitative approach was employed, involving 121 students from the Chemistry Education Program, Faculty of Teacher Training and Education, Universitas Mataram. Data were collected using a 5-point Likert scale questionnaire covering three primary dimensions of environmental attitude-cognitive, affective, and conative-along with a commitment dimension toward the SDGs. The results indicate that all dimensions fall within high to very high categories, with the highest averages observed in the cognitive (4.32), affective (4,18) and SDGs commitment (4.25) dimensions. The conative dimension scored slightly lower (3.89), suggesting the existence of an attitude–behaviour gap between awareness and actual practice. Students demonstrate strong environmental knowledge and moral commitment, but have not fully translated these into consistent, sustainable behaviors. These findings underscore the need for more contextually relevant and action-oriented learning strategies based on the SDGs, such as project-based learning and eco-campus programs, to translate environmental awareness into tangible actions. Overall, the study emphasizes the strategic role of higher education in cultivating knowledgeable, committed, and sustainable-minded youth aligned with SDG 12, SDG 13, and SDG 15.

Abstract

Calotropis gigantea (L.), commonly known as biduri, is a plant recognized for its pharmacological properties, including antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities, largely attributed to its secondary metabolites, particularly flavonoids. The concentration of these bioactive compounds is strongly influenced by the environmental conditions in which the plant grows. Geothermal manifestation areas, characterized by extreme abiotic conditions, can induce metabolic responses in plants, potentially enhancing flavonoid production. This study aimed to determine and compare the total flavonoid content in ethanolic leaf extracts of C. gigantea collected from geothermal and non-geothermal areas in Aceh Province. Extraction was conducted using 96% ethanol, and total flavonoid content was quantified using UV-Vis spectrophotometry via the aluminum chloride (AlCl₃) complexation method. Quercetin served as the standard, and flavonoid levels were expressed as milligrams of quercetin equivalents per gram of extract (mg QE/g). The calibration curve showed a linear relationship between quercetin concentration and absorbance, with a regression equation of y = 0.0101x – 0.0098 (r = 0.9417). The results demonstrated significant differences in flavonoid content between samples from geothermal and non-geothermal sites. C. gigantea plants from geothermal areas exhibited altered flavonoid levels compared to those from non-geothermal regions, indicating that environmental factors play a role in modulating the biosynthesis of these bioactive compounds.

Abstract

Science education plays a critical role in shaping students' scientific literacy and attitudes. Teachers' perspectives on the nature of science (NoS) are central to how science is taught in classrooms, particularly at the elementary level. This study aims to analyse the views of elementary school teachers in Indonesia on the fundamental characteristics of science and how they implement these views in their teaching practices. Using a descriptive quantitative approach, complemented by Focus Group Discussions (FGD), data were collected from 52 teachers across diverse geographical regions, including West Nusa Tenggara, Java, and East Nusa Tenggara. The data were analysed based on four core aspects of the nature of science: science is interesting to study, science is useful in life, science continues to develop, and science is a global human endeavour. The results show that most teachers have very positive views on the first three aspects, while their understanding of the global dimension of science is categorised as good. Further analysis revealed no significant differences in teachers' views based on length of service, gender, or PPG (Teacher Professional Education) status. These findings suggest the need to enhance teachers' pedagogical competence through globally oriented training programs and contextualised science teaching approaches. This study contributes to improving the quality of science education by encouraging a more holistic and globally relevant understanding of science among primary school teachers.

Abstract

The importance of student engagement and motivation in the physics learning process at the high school level, which has often been perceived as a difficult subject and less relevant to real life. Through the integration of anthropogenic phenomena, learning is expected to become more contextual and foster awareness of environmental issues. This study aims to determine students' perceptions of physics learning activities using the Problem-Based Learning (PBL) model integrated with anthropogenic phenomena. The research was conducted at the high school level using a quantitative descriptive approach. The respondents consisted of 108 tenth-grade students who had participated in physics learning using this model. The research instrument was a validated questionnaire. Data were analyzed using a Likert scale and presented in percentage form. The results of the study indicate that students' perceptions of physics learning using the integrated anthropogenic PBL model are in the good and very positive categories. This is demonstrated by the percentage of engagement aspects exceeding 80% and the motivation aspects reaching 86%. Overall, both aspects scored 61% or higher, indicating that the application of this model is effective in enhancing student engagement and motivation in learning. These findings are expected to serve as a reference for teachers in developing contextual physics learning and contribute as supporting literature for future research.

Abstract

Recent developments in biotechnology and bioinformatics have opened new possibilities for designing enzymes for the halal food sector. This study employs an integrated framework combining in silico modelling and in vivo validation to create synthetic enzymes that are both effective and compliant with halal standards. Computational analyses were conducted to predict enzyme–substrate interactions and evaluate structural stability, while experimental validation confirmed enzymatic activity, thermal stability, and safety profiles. The results demonstrate that this dual approach improves design efficiency, enhances catalytic performance, and ensures enzymes originate from halal-certified sources, addressing a notable gap in current research where optimization and religious compliance are often addressed separately. This methodology bridges molecular biochemistry with Islamic jurisprudence, providing a scientifically grounded approach for producing bioenzymes suitable for industrial applications. By showing that halal verification can be integrated without compromising enzyme functionality, the study provides a model for ethical and religiously responsible food production. The findings have broad implications for the halal food industry, supporting scalable enzyme manufacturing and laying the groundwork for future research in synthetic biology, regulatory compliance, and the development of innovative functional foods.
