Abstract

Papua, which is known to be rich in local wisdom, has great potential in environmental conservation if supported by a strong conservative attitude from its citizens. This research aims to determine the influence of problem-based student books integrated with Papuan local wisdom on the conservation attitudes of class VII junior high school students. This research is experimental research conducted at junior high schools in the Tanah Merah area of Bintuni Bay. In this study, the sample used was class VII, consisting of 38 students. There were 19 students in the control and experimental classes each. A conservation attitude questionnaire was used to measure students' conservation attitudes. Data were analyzed using the t test. The results show that problem-based student books integrated with Papuan local wisdom have a better effect than the control class. Local wisdom adds to students' information regarding the management of endemic organisms where they live. The problem of extinction in PBL learning empowers students to think about how to conserve organisms so that extinction factors that influence the classification of living things can be prevented.

Abstract

The research researched the impact of problem-based learning and hands-on activity on the students' academic performance in biology. The study implemented a quasi-experimental design, specifically a non-equivalent control group design with a pre-and post-test design. The study's population consisted of 2691 students from 32 public secondary schools in the Nsukka. We used a multi-stage sampling procedure to sample 85 SS II students from two intact classes. The researchers developed the "Biology Achievement Test (BAT)" as an instrument for data collection. We used the mean and standard deviation to answer the research question and used the ANCOVA to test the null hypotheses. The study's findings revealed that there is a significant difference in the mean achievement scores of secondary school students taught biology using the hand-on activity method and problem-based learning. According to the study, biology teachers should always use hands-on activities when teaching biology to students. Based on the findings, we recommend training biology teachers through workshops, orientation courses, and seminars on adopting hands-on activities in teaching to enhance students' academic achievement in biology. The study concluded that using hands-on activities in teaching biology is more effective in enhancing students' biology achievement.

Abstract

For plant diversity course, teaching materials in the form of interactive e-modules were not yet available. The diversity of sago plants has been compiled in the form of a supplementary book, but was limited to the printed type. This research aimed to develop flipbook-based e-module teaching materials integrated with local wisdom in the plant diversity course. The e-module contains local wisdom about the diversity of sago plants which were differentiated based on the color of the leaf shoots and the varying shape of the midrib as well as the use of the local (regional) language of the Tehit Kna tribe. E-module was expected to be a bridge in the process of digitizing teaching materials. The data source for this research was 9 active students from the Biology Education Department, odd semester for the 2023/2024 academic year. This research was conducted at the Department of Biology Education, University of Papua Manokwari and used the R&D research method with the ADDIE model but was limited to the following stages: Design, design, framework and preparation of the e-module from the front view, the contents of the book to the back cover of the book; Development, validation of flipbook-based e-module teaching material prototypes by media experts; and Evaluation, assessing each stage until the product produced in the form of an interactive e-module based on a flipbook integrated with local wisdom was declared valid and practical. The research results show that the e-module was very valid (96.5%) and very practical (95.56%).

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to test the ability of T. harzianum to inhibit the growth of pathogenic mold species and to determine the effectiveness of T. harzianum mold species in inhibiting the growth of pathogenic molds, as well as investigate how T. harzianum and pathogenic molds interact with each other. The Microbiology Laboratory of the Department of Biology, Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, State University of Malang, is where this research was conducted. The dual culture method was used for this test by using Czapek Agar (CA) medium. The isolated molds were then incubated for 4x24 hours at 25O–27OC. After that, the antagonism power was calculated. The results of macroscopic and microscopic observations were used to assess the mechanism of T. harzianum mold antagonism against pathogenic molds. The results showed that Trichoderma mold species were more resistant to the pathogenic mold Fusarium oxysporum than the pathogenic mold Capnodium. The antagonistic power of T. harzianum was 80%, with the antagonistic power of Capnodium sp. at 66.7%. The mechanism of mycoparasitism occurs when the hyphae of T. harzianum attach or entangle the hyphae of pathogenic molds, causing damage to the hyphal structure and inhibiting the growth of pathogenic molds.

Abstract

Waste from chemical reactions is still a hot issue to be discussed today. Green chemistry in its concept offers catalysts as an alternative to reducing waste resulting from chemical reactions. This literature study aims to examine the method of making ZnAl2O4 nanocatalysts and doping materials that are more effective in various reactions by considering the advantages and disadvantages of each. The content of the study includes the ZnAl2O4 nanocatalyst synthesis method, combination catalyst, and catalytic effectiveness in chemical reactions. Combustion, sol-gel, co-precipitation, hydrothermal, and microwave are the most common methods in the synthesis of ZnAl2O4. The use of precursors, fuel, and precipitating agents are very important factors when using combustion, sol-gel, and co-precipitation methods. Other factors that need to be considered are the raw material ratio, pH, and calcination temperature. The pH of the solution is 6-9 and the calcination temperature of 600oC – 800oC is the ideal point for producing nanocatalyst. The calcination temperature is lower to 300oC – 500oC when using hydrothermal and microwave as a synthesis method. ZnAl2O4 nanocatalyst has been identified as having good catalytic activity, but not higher than ZnAl2O4 combined with other catalysts. The combination of a catalyst with ZnAl2O4 spinel in hydrogenation, dehydrogenation, esterification, degradation, and organic synthesis has high catalytic activity with a conversion rate and selectivity of >70%.

Abstract

Basic science's role in instilling a love of science and laying the groundwork for science studies in senior secondary school prompted the survey of teachers' awareness and utilization of innovative teaching strategies for effective teaching and learning of basic science in upper basic education. The study adopted a survey research design. The population comprised all the 36 basic science teachers in the 19 public secondary schools in Awka South local government area. Questionnaire was used to collect data. Data was analyzed using descriptive statistics of frequency and mean scores. The study found that the teachers are aware of majority of innovative teaching strategies for teaching Basic science. The extent basic science teachers use innovative teaching strategies in enhancing basic science teaching in upper basic education was to a low extent. The study concluded that the basic science teachers are aware of the majority of innovative teaching strategies but their application within the classroom remains low. This discrepancy between awareness and practice highlights a critical gap in the implementation of effective pedagogical approaches for basic science education. The study recommended that the government through her relevant educational agencies should design and implement comprehensive training programs focused on equipping teachers with the necessary skills and knowledge to effectively utilize various innovative teaching strategies in the basic science classroom.
