Abstract

 Coral reef diversity is a crucial indicator of marine ecosystems' health and coastal communities' well-being. This study aims to identify the diversity of coral reef species and their conservation efforts in Lhok Mata-Ie Ujung Pancu, Aceh Besar, using the quadratic transect survey method. The results show high diversity, dominated by hard coral species such as Acropora, Montipora, and Porites. However, the region faces serious threats from illegal fishing, pollution, and the impacts of climate change. In response, local communities, governments, and NGOs have implemented various conservation measures, including the establishment of protected areas and coral replanting programs. Such efforts require cross-sector collaboration to balance natural resource utilization with ecosystem protection. This research provides a solid foundation for the sustainable management of coastal areas and coral reefs in the future.

Abstract

Learning is a form of communication that is the basis for achieving information by students. The learning model that can improve students' activeness and learning outcomes is Problem Based Learning (PBL). The relevance found between the principles of the PBL model and the Biology learning process makes many studies linking the application of PBL with the achievement of cognitive learning outcomes. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of the Problem Based Learning (PBL) model on cognitive learning outcomes in biology using quantitative methods with meta-analysis techniques by reviewing 15 journal articles. The effectiveness of the PBL model on cognitive learning outcomes used the Effect Size (ES) formula. Based on the results obtained from the Effect Size test, the results obtained with moderate criteria ranged from 0.51 to 1.00 so it means that the Problem Based Learning (PBL) learning model has a positive impact on biology learning outcomes for students.

Abstract

This study investigates the effect of the Augmented Reality (AR)-based Quantum Teaching model on high school students’ critical thinking and metacognitive skills in biology. The need for innovative learning models is urgent to enhance students’ higher-order thinking abilities, which are crucial for meeting the demands of 21st-century learning. This research employed a quasi-experimental pre-test post-test control group design involving grade XI biology students at Pakusari State High School during the 2023/2024 academic year. Random sampling assigned class XI 5 as the experimental group and XI 4 as the control group. Data collection methods included observations, interviews, essay tests, and documentation. Data analysis using ANCOVA via SPSS version 26 revealed significant improvements in both critical thinking and metacognitive skills in the experimental group compared to the control group. These findings demonstrate that the AR-based Quantum Teaching model effectively enhances students’ cognitive and selfregulatory skills in biology learning. The study concludes that integrating AR technology within innovative teaching models can foster critical competencies essential for students’ academic success and lifelong learning. The implications of this research suggest that schools and educators should consider adopting AR-supported pedagogies to enrich the learning experience and promote deeper understanding. Educational stakeholders are encouraged to invest in teacher training and digital infrastructure to support the successful implementation of such models. Furthermore, this study provides a foundation for developing curriculum innovations that combine interactive technology and student-centered approaches, aiming to prepare learners with the critical and metacognitive skills necessary for future academic and professional challenges.

Abstract

Students in the Department of Biology at Andalas University are required to write a thesis based on one of ten core subjects: animal systematics, plant systematics, animal ecology, plant ecology, microbiology, genetics, animal physiology, plant physiology, animal structure and development, and plant structure and development. This study analyzed the dynamics of student interest in these subjects as thesis topics from 2000 to 2019. A total of 1,201 thesis titles were analyzed descriptively based on the average and frequency per year, and visualized in tables and graphs. The results showed that microbiology was the most popular (14.7 theses/year), followed by plant physiology (9.8) and animal systematics (9.4). The two least popular fields were animal and plant structure and development (fewer than two theses/year). Unstructured interviews with final-year students revealed that the availability of supervisors, research funding, and laboratory access were the primary factors influencing topic selection. Theses with a single topic were more numerous than those with mixed topics. Integrating two or more courses into one thesis can be a solution to increase interest in less popular courses. If this approach is not effective, it may be worth considering removing the course from the elective list for the final project. The implications of these findings suggest that enhancing interdisciplinary research opportunities might also encourage broader topic selection. Continuous evaluation of the curriculum is necessary to ensure that elective subjects remain relevant and aligned with students’ interests and departmental capabilities, potentially leading to curriculum refinement or restructuring.

Abstract

Caisim (Brassica juncea L.) is a widely consumed leafy vegetable that requires adequate nutrients for optimal growth. This study aimed to investigate the effect of rabbit manure on the growth of caisim plants, specifically focusing on fresh weight, dry weight, and root length. The experiment was conducted using a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with five treatments and five replications. Treatments consisted of different soil-to-rabbit manure ratios: P0 (control, no manure), P1 (1:1), P2 (2:1), P3 (3:1), and P4 (4:1). The results showed that the application of rabbit manure significantly affected all three observed growth parameters. The best results were obtained in the P2 treatment (2:1 ratio), which yielded an average fresh weight of 21.902 g, a dry weight of 1.17 g, and a root length of 5.58 cm. These findings suggest that rabbit manure supplies essential nutrients, including nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, which contribute to enhanced root development and overall plant growth. The 2:1 ratio was found to offer the most effective nutrient balance for caisim cultivation. The implication of this study is that rabbit manure can serve as an environmentally friendly and effective organic fertilizer alternative to chemical fertilizers, supporting sustainable agricultural practices and offering a practical solution for enhancing the productivity of horticultural crops.

Abstract

This study examines the impact of the Augmented Reality (AR)-based Quantum Teaching model on high school students’ critical thinking and metacognitive skills in biology. As 21st-century education increasingly demands higher-order thinking, there is a growing need for innovative teaching approaches that foster these skills. The aim of this research was to determine whether combining AR technology with the Quantum Teaching model could enhance students’ cognitive and self-regulatory abilities. The study used a quasi-experimental pre-test post-test control group design, involving grade XI biology students at Pakusari State High School during the 2023/2024 academic year. Class XI-5 was randomly assigned as the experimental group and XI-4 as the control group. Data collection methods included observations, interviews, essay tests, and documentation, while data analysis was conducted using ANCOVA in SPSS version 26. The results showed that the experimental group experienced significantly greater improvements in both critical thinking and metacognitive skills compared to the control group. These findings suggest that the AR-based Quantum Teaching model effectively supports the development of essential academic competencies. The study concludes that integrating AR into student-centered teaching models not only enhances engagement but also promotes deeper learning. As a result, educators are encouraged to adopt AR-supported pedagogies, and schools should invest in digital infrastructure and teacher training to ensure successful implementation. The implications also extend to curriculum development, highlighting the potential of combining interactive technology with innovative instructional strategies to better prepare students for academic success and future challenges.

Abstract

Metacognition plays a crucial role in regulating and controlling students' cognitive processes in learning, thinking, and problem-solving. Teachers have not yet assessed students' metacognitive abilities. In biology learning at SMAN 1 Ngemplak, teachers focus more on theory, resulting in suboptimal student engagement. One factor is the less engaging learning activities, resulting in students being more interested in using their mobile phones than in the teacher. This study aimed to determine the effect of the PBL model supported by web-based simulation media on students' metacognition in the digestive system and student engagement. This study employed a quasi-experimental design with a pretest-posttest approach. The population consisted of 65 students from class XI MIPA at SMAN 1 Ngemplak (two classes), and the sample used was saturated. Data collection was conducted through observation and tests, utilizing research instruments that included student engagement observation sheets and test question sheets. The data analysis techniques used were descriptive and inferential. The hypothesis test used was the Mann-Whitney U test. The results of this study showed a significant value of p < 0.05, indicating that there is no influence of the PBL model assisted by web-based practical media simulation on students' metacognitive abilities. The findings imply that while PBL combined with web-based simulation enhances student engagement, it does not significantly improve metacognition. Therefore, educators should complement this approach with explicit metacognitive training to develop students’ cognitive regulation skills. Integrating interactive media with strategies targeting metacognition can create more balanced and effective biology learning experiences.

Abstract

Analysis of Potential Biology Learning Resources Based on The Result of Ethnobotanic Research on Wedding Processions in Magelang district. This research is about the ethnobotany of weddings in the Magelang Regency community to find out the wedding procession and the use of plants and their meaning, the style of wedding traditions and to analyze the potential of biological learning resources based on research results. This research is qualitative research with 5 sources as research subjects. The object of this research is plants used in wedding processions. The data collection techniques used were interviews, observation and documentation using interview and observation guide instruments. The data analysis technique used is descriptive data analysis and analysis of potential biology learning resources. The results of the research show that there are 20 traditional wedding processions in Magelang Regency, although not all people use the 20 processions for financial and practical reasons. There are 25 Spermatophyta plants, all of which are included in Angiospermae. The parts of the plants used in the wedding procession are 13 leaves, 6 stems, 4 seeds, 6 flowers, 3 fruits, and 1 shoot with the largest tribe being Fabaceae, namely, 6 plants. The pattern of wedding traditions in Magelang Regency is more similar to the procession in Surakarta with 17 similar processions. The meaning of all the plants used is the hope that the wedding will run smoothly. Analysis of the research results shows that this research has the potential to be a source of learning biology, but cannot be associated with the Plantae material in KD 3.8 and is more suitable as enrichment material.

Abstract

Plant tissue culture is an important biotechnology technique that requires both conceptual understanding and practical skills. However, learning activities related to plant tissue culture in higher education are often constrained by limited laboratory facilities, resulting in learning processes that rely mainly on theoretical explanations. One critical stage in plant tissue culture is acclimatization, which determines the survival of plantlets during the transition from in vitro to ex vitro conditions. This study aimed to develop an acclimatization kit as a learning medium for the Plant Tissue Culture course in the Biology Education Program at UIN Sunan Kudus. The research employed a Research and Development approach using the 4D model, implemented up to the develop stage. The acclimatization kit was designed using orchid plantlets and simple planting media to support hands-on learning activities. The results indicated that the acclimatization kit was highly feasible in terms of learning aspects, design, and usability. Students responded positively, showing increased motivation, engagement, and understanding of the acclimatization process. In conclusion, the developed acclimatization kit provides an effective and practical learning medium that supports experiential learning in plant tissue culture courses and offers a solution to overcome laboratory limitations in higher education institutions.
