Abstract

Various studies on relational thinking have been conducted, but none have explicitly examined students’ learning obstacles from the ontogenetic, epistemological, and didactical perspectives. This study aims to identify and describe students’ learning obstacles in relational thinking within arithmetic, algebra, and linear equations in one variable. This study employs a qualitative approach guided by Miles and Huberman’s framework, which involves data collection, data reduction, data display, and drawing and verifying conclusions. The study used tests and interviews to gather information. Data were collected in August 2023 from 32 students of 8th grade at SMPN 17 Tangerang Selatan. Analysis revealed that students encountered ontogenetic, didactical, and epistemological obstacles when solving mathematics problems requiring relational thinking. The ontogenetic obstacle manifested as a lack of confidence in their own mathematical abilities. The didactical obstacle arose from the use of instructional materials and learning designs that did not facilitate development of relational thinking ability. The epistemological obstacle was evident in students’ failure to understand arithmetic and algebraic operation rules, inability to construct mathematical models from everyday situations, and misinterpretation of the equals sign (“=”) as an operational command rather than a symbol of equality. Teachers therefore require additional learning resources to reinforce students’ understanding of the concept of equality. Future research should focus on developing and evaluating instructional designs specifically aimed at enhancing students’ relational thinking ability.

Abstract

This study aims to develop an E-Booklet utilizing endophytic fungi isolated from the roots of Phalaenopsis amabilis to improve learning outcomes of Kingdom Fungi material for class X MA Zainul Bahar students, Bondowoso. The research method used is the ADDIE development model (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, Evaluation). The isolation results show a diversity of endophytic fungi that are potentially authentic learning resources. This e-booklet is organized in an interactive and contextual manner, integrating isolation result data into teaching materials that are in accordance with the Merdeka Curriculum. The novelty of this research lies in the utilization of endophytic fungi from the roots of P. amabilis as a source of local content that has not been widely explored in learning media. In addition, the use of the E-Booklet format based on original research data provides added value in the form of a scientific approach directly from the field, which is not yet available in conventional learning resources. This study involved 27 grade X students using the one-group pretest-posttest design method and an expert validation test. Validation by experts gave the material a score of 91% (very valid) and media 87% (very valid), while the practicality test based on student questionnaires reached 85% (practical). N-gain analysis of 0.82 (high category) shows that this E-Booklet effectively improves students' learning outcomes on the Kingdom Fungi material.

Abstract

Heart disease is one of the leading causes of mortality in Indonesia, yet early detection remains a challenge due to limitations in data and suboptimal classification methods. This study aims to improve the accuracy of heart disease prediction by integrating the Naïve Bayes algorithm with Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) for feature selection. A dataset of 303 patient records was processed using RapidMiner across three configurations: Naïve Bayes with split validation (80:20), Naïve Bayes with 10-fold cross-validation, and Naïve Bayes with PSO-based feature selection. The results showed that incorporating PSO increased accuracy from 87.60% to 89.26%, along with improvements in precision and recall, while maintaining a high AUC value (0.933). These findings demonstrate that PSO effectively identifies the most relevant features and enhances the performance of heart disease prediction models. The study also underscores the importance of validation methods and model interpretability in the application of artificial intelligence in healthcare.

Abstract

This study aims to isolate and identify terpenoid compounds from kluwih leaves (Artocarpus camansi). Extraction was done using methanol solvent, followed by n-hexane fractionation, which produced a concentrated blackish green extract. Compounds were separated through column chromatography with silica gel as the stationary phase and n-hexane as the mobile phase, and a mixture of n-hexane: ethyl acetate, producing eight fractions. The third fraction, obtained as green crystals, exhibited a positive reaction to the Liebermann-Burchard reagent, a specific test for the presence of terpenoid compounds. The observed colour change indicated the presence of terpenoids, making this fraction a promising candidate for isolation and detailed analysis. After recrystallisation, white needle-shaped crystals were obtained with a melting point of 141–142.8°C. Purity testing using thin layer chromatography (TLC) showed a single spot in various eluents, indicating that the isolated compound was pure. Further characterisation using UV spectroscopy showed maximum absorption at 210.2 nm, while IR spectroscopy showed the presence of OH, methyl, and non-conjugated C=C double bonds. Based on these data, the isolated compounds can be identified as terpenoid compounds. This study provides a basis for further studies on the structure and biological activity of kluwih leaves.

Abstract

Science practicum has an important role in fostering students' scientific skills, but its implementation at the junior high school level still faces various obstacles, such as limited laboratory equipment and practicum guidelines that are not optimal. This study aims to analyze the needs of teachers and students for the implementation of science practicum as a basis for developing guided inquiry-based guidelines. The research method used was descriptive qualitative with data collection techniques through surveys and in-depth interviews. The research subjects consisted of 219 students and 52 junior high school science teachers in the South Sumatra region. The results of the analysis showed that 98.6% of students and 98,1% of teachers stated the importance of practicum guides, while only 34.4% of students and 40% of teachers had used or made inquiry-based guides. The majority of respondents supported the use of the guided inquiry approach because it is believed to be able to improve science process skills. However, limited tools and teacher understanding are the main obstacles to implementation. Therefore, the results of this study emphasize the need to develop guided inquiry-based science practicum guides that are systematic, applicable, and relevant to the context of junior high school learning.

Abstract

The advancement of science and technology requires students to possess strong scientific literacy, particularly in understanding physical phenomena such as elasticity. However, students often demonstrate a low conceptual understanding of elasticity in real-life contexts, posing a challenge in physics education. This study aims to analyze students’ physics literacy skills using the Nature of Science Literacy Test (NOSLiT) instrument. This research employed a descriptive quantitative approach with a sample of 30 students from classes A, B, and C. Data were collected through a written test based on the NOSLiT framework, which consists of six scientific literacy indicators, and analyzed quantitatively using achievement categories. The findings revealed that students' overall scientific literacy achievement was categorized as low (43.2%). The highest achievement was on the scientific evidence rule indicator (58.8%, moderate category), while the lowest was on science process skills (24.3%, very low category). These results suggest the need for more interactive and experiment-based instructional strategies to enhance students’ conceptual understanding. Students' responses were mostly descriptive and lacked evidence-based reasoning, with misconceptions about relationships among physics variables still apparent. These findings emphasize the importance of incorporating scientific practices—such as experimentation, evidence utilization, and contextual problem-solving—into teaching. This study was limited to a single school and instrument, which restricts the generalizability of the results. Future research should include a broader sample and adopt a mixed-method approach to obtain more comprehensive insights. Moreover, the development of inquiry-based learning models is crucial to support the advancement of students' scientific literacy.

Abstract

This study addresses the gap in understanding how personal context influences students’ numeracy skills, particularly in the context of the Minimum Competency Assessment (MCA) in Indonesia. The research problem centers on the challenge of engaging students with numeracy tasks that are not only mathematically relevant but also relatable to their personal experiences. While the MCA assesses mathematical reasoning and problem-solving, students often struggle to apply these skills to real-world scenarios, particularly when the context of the problems is unfamiliar or disconnected from their daily lives. This study aims to analyze the numeracy skills of eighth-grade students in solving problems with a personal context within the Minimum Competency Assessment (MCA). The study employed a mixed-methods design, integrating both quantitative and qualitative data. Quantitative data were analyzed using content validity analysis (Aiken’s V) and inter-rater reliability (Cohen’s Kappa) to assess the validity and consistency of the MCA questions. Descriptive statistics were used to analyze the students' numeracy scores. For qualitative analysis, semi-structured interviews were conducted to explore students' reasoning and problem-solving strategies. The triangulation of data from the MCA tests and interviews provided a comprehensive understanding of how students engaged with mathematical problems and applied their numeracy skills in real-world contexts. A total of 17 eighth-grade students were selected, and three students from each numeracy category; high, medium, and low were chosen using a categorization method based on standard deviation. Results showed that students with high numeracy abilities demonstrated effective problem-solving and reasoning skills, while medium and low numeracy students struggled with complex problems and real-world application. The study suggests that while personal context can enhance student engagement, its effectiveness depends on a solid foundation in numeracy skills. The findings recommend a balanced approach in teaching, strengthening foundational skills alongside contextualized learning. In conclusion, while the personal context in MCA increases student engagement and relevance, particularly among high-performing students, its effectiveness is contingent on a solid foundation in basic numeracy skills. A balanced approach that strengthens basic numeracy skills while incorporating personal contexts is necessary to foster critical thinking and effective application of mathematics across all ability levels.

Abstract

Understanding how young people perceive renewable and non-renewable energy sources is essential for aligning education with Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This study explores the perspectives of 748 Indonesian high school students on solar panel versus fossil fuels through an open-ended question. Different from previous studies, this work uses semantic network analysis to map the conceptual connections in students’ understanding, which provides us a structural perspective on students’ perceptions. Using semantic network analysis with NetMiner, 748 Indonesian students’ responses were categorized into five ideas: Fossil fuels formation (G1), Solar panel role in sustainability (G2), Practical benefits of solar panels (G3), Non-renewable resource concern (G4), and Unsustainable fossil fuels use (G5). The findings indicate that students have a basic understanding of environmental and resource-related issues. Most responses remain surface level with limited demonstration of critical thinking. Furthermore, students’ ideas primarily address the environmental and economic pillars of Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) while the social pillar is rarely discussed. These results highlight the need to improve ESD practices in Indonesia by explicitly integrating social dimensions into sustainability education. Empowering students to consider who is affected by sustainability decisions, and how they can contribute to fairer, more inclusive solutions can help to increase not only environmental awareness but also foster civic responsibility and empathy.

Abstract

In the 21st century, scientific literacy is crucial for students as it connects science to real-life issues. The Socio-Scientific Issues (SSI) approach can be used through contextual learning to enhance students' scientific literacy. This approach involves developing teaching materials based on SSI and for this research, the focus is on disasters and mitigation to increase preparedness in disaster-prone areas. The research aims to develop and test the feasibility and practicality of SSI-based teaching products using the Research and Development (R&D) method, specifically the ADDIE model. The novelty of the SSI e-module is in the issues discussed, the interactive and varied material, and the quiz features. These can improve students' scientific reasoning by involving them in real-life problem-based discussions relevant to everyday life, thus encouraging critical analysis, decision-making, and collaborative problem-solving.Data was collected through interviews with teachers to analyze their needs and through questionnaires distributed to students, feasibility tests, and product practicality tests. The results showed 90% material feasibility, 100% concept correctness, 95% media feasibility, and 96% question feasibility, all falling within the "very feasible" category. Additionally, an empirical test of the questions through validity testing resulted in 10 valid and 5 invalid questions, with a reliability test yielding a score of 0.717.The score is included in the high category, it needs to be increased to the very high category (0.80 ≤ r ≤ 1.00) by evaluating the material, design, and structure of the module. The product's practicality was tested on 2 science teachers and 32 class VIII students, and achieved percentages of 94% and 89% respectively, categorizing it as "very practical". In conclusion, the e-modules developed in this research are deemed very feasible and practical for facilitating scientific literacy in students.
