Abstract

This study explored the interpersonal relationship between teachers' and students' attitudes toward biology. The research method used was a survey, where data were collected from 6 public senior high schools in Depok City, involving 88 grade 11 students selected through cluster random sampling. Two adapted and transliterated questionnaires were employed: the Questionnaire on Teacher Interaction (QTI) and the Test of Science-Related Attitudes (TOSRA). Data was analyzed using Rasch modeling with Winsteps software and other applications such as SPSS and Edraw.AI. The results indicated that the interpersonal relationship between biology teachers and senior high school students in Depok City was relatively positive. Biology teachers were perceived as somewhat dominant but highly cooperative with students in the classroom. On the interpersonal behavior scale, biology teachers exhibited higher leadership, helpful/friendly, and understanding behaviors than opposing behaviors. Furthermore, an analysis of the teachers' interpersonal behavior profiles revealed that biology teachers in Depok City were classified as directive. A two-variable relationship analysis showed a negative correlation between the closeness (CO) dimension, the Attitude Towards Scientific Inquiry dimension, and the influence (DS) dimension with students' career interest in biology.

Abstract

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) form mutualistic interactions with plants, including Cynometra cauliflora (Namnam), a tropical indigenous species from the Fabaceae family. This study explores the educational potential of this biological relationship to enrich high school biology education under the Kurikulum Merdeka framework. Field research was conducted at PT Chandra Asri’s Biodiversity Park in Cilegon, Banten Province, Indonesia, an area with rich local biodiversity and a tropical rainforest climate.  The study used a qualitative content analysis approach following an exploratory-descriptive model. Nine naturally growing C. cauliflora individuals were selected for morphological observations and root sampling. Morphological characteristics were documented following standard botanical protocols, while AMF colonization was assessed through root clearing, Phillips and Hayman staining method, and microscopic observation. The percentage of AMF colonization was calculated using the gridline intersect method. Habitat characterization to understand the ecological context. Curriculum analysis reviewed Indonesian biology standards, textbooks, and scientific literature to map potential integrations. Key concepts such as mutualism, nutrient cycling, biodiversity conservation, and plant physiology were identified for curriculum enrichment. The findings suggest that studying C. cauliflora and its AMF association can effectively support Capaian Pembelajaran (Learning Achievement Targets), fostering student skills in scientific methods, environmental awareness, and critical thinking. Incorporating local examples promotes contextual and inquiry-based learning, aligning with the spirit of the Kurikulum Merdeka and strengthening students’ ecological literacy. In conclusion, the mutualistic relationship between C. cauliflora and AMF offers a valuable, locally relevant scientific model for enhancing biology education. It bridges scientific knowledge, cultural understanding, and sustainability, preparing students for real-world ecological challenges.

Abstract

This study aimed to improve students' collaboration skills on virus reproduction material by using digital posters to apply the Project Based Learning (PjBL) model. Qualitative methods were used to analyze data collected through observation, interviews, and documentation in class X of one of the public high schools in Serang City, Banten. Students were tasked to create a digital poster due to group work, where they collaborated to identify the stages of the lytic and lysogenic cycles in viral reproduction. The results showed that the PjBL model improved students' collaboration skills, including communication skills, responsibility, and mutual respect for opinions. Most students have shown good collaboration skills, although some are still passive in the discussion. Teachers and students also faced obstacles, such as a lack of commitment from some group members. Thus, implementing PjBL using digital poster media effectively builds collaboration skills, although further support is needed to ensure that all group members are actively involved. This research suggests using innovative media and methods to optimize collaborative learning in the classroom.

Abstract

This study aimed to determine the perceptions of pre-service biology teachers and in-service biology teachers on artificial intelligence in Biology learning. AI has recently become a new trend and has changed many aspects of life. Artificial intelligence allows machines to learn from experience, adapt to new inputs, and perform human-like tasks like ChatGPT, launched in Q4 of 2022. The survey method used in this study. We used a questionnaire from 42 respondents of in-service teachers and pre-service teachers, respectively. Selected teachers were senior high school biology teachers who have used the independent curriculum in their schools. This study showed that the pre-service biology teachers (69%) had higher perceptions than in-service biology teachers (40.5%). This result followed by AI usage; 28.6% of pre-service biology teachers and 7.1% of in-service biology teachers used AI daily. However, the pre-service and in-service biology teachers believed that AI could be implemented in the new curriculum to increase student achievement on biology subject. This study concluded that the perceptions of to use AI is still low. So, AI must be introduced to the pre-service and in-service biology teachers.
