Abstract

Environmental awareness refers to the importance of maintaining a clean and healthy environment. This awareness is reflected in an individual's attitudes and actions, especially when they act voluntarily without external pressure. The Biology Education program at Universitas Lambung Mangkurat (ULM) envisions becoming a leading and competitive study program that produces graduates with expertise as educators who possess an in-depth understanding of wetland environments. This vision aims to produce graduates who not only have educational skills but also understand environmental issues, especially in wetland management and preservation, and have a high level of environmental awareness to support the sustainability of ecosystems. This study aims to describe the wetland environmental awareness of the Biology Education students at ULM. The method used is a quantitative survey conducted among active Biology Education students at ULM, consisting of students from the 2022, 2023, and 2024 academic years. The research results show that the students' environmental awareness is categorized into high (15.48%) and moderate (84.52%) criteria. The moderate environmental awareness level suggests a decline in environmental consciousness among students, which could affect the next generation's awareness if not balanced with environmental awareness.

Abstract

Learning loss is when a student loses academic knowledge and skills due to certain situations and conditions, such as pandemics, long school holidays, and other emergencies. An effort can be made to determine the learning loss that occurs in students by using diagnostic tests. However, the availability of questions for diagnostic tests on mathematics, especially trigonometry material, is still limited. This research aims to develop and validate diagnostic test questions to measure high school students' learning loss in the trigonometric function topic. This research uses preliminary research in the development stage with the Plomp model. The stages carried out in this study include self-evaluation and expert review. Document analysis is carried out at the self-evaluation stage by identifying basic competencies and formulating indicators, compiling a learning continuum, formulating attributes, compiling a Q matrix, and constructing questions. Then, three validators tested the validity and feasibility of the questions. The results of the validity test show that the 25 diagnostic questions that have been developed all meet the very valid criteria, with the average score for each item from the three validators being more than 3.20.

Abstract

This research was motivated by students' low mathematical communication skills and the fact that the learning models used by teachers were not yet varied. Therefore, researchers tried to apply the TGT type cooperative learning model. This research aims to determine whether or not the TGT type cooperative learning model influences students' communication skills in vocational schools. This research is quasi-experimental research using a nonequivalent control group design. The population in this study was all students in class. Data was obtained from the initial and final ability tests in the form of mathematical communication questions. Data analysis was carried out using the t-test. Based on the data analysis and discussion results, a conclusion was obtained, namely that the mathematical communication skills of students who took part in learning using the TGT type cooperative learning model were higher than those using conventional learning.

Abstract

This article examined the effectiveness of using the Photomath application in enhancing the learning interest of Grade VIII students at SMP Negeri 8 Tapung. This study analyzed students' learning interests before and after using the Photomath application. The research employed a quasi-experimental design. Purposive sampling was used to select participants, consisting of 23 students from grade VIII C. Data were collected through documentation, surveys, and observations. The findings of this study indicated an increase in the average score of the learning interest questionnaire. Before using the Photomath application, the average score was 54.592, categorized as low interest. After using the Photomath application, the average score increased to 55.62. Based on the calculation of the average scores from both data sets, it was concluded that H0 was accepted and Ha was rejected. This meant that there was no significant difference in average learning outcomes between the experimental group and the control group. These findings suggested that Grade VIII students at SMP Negeri 8 Tapung showed limited interest in learning using the Photomath application.

Abstract

Environmental pillars are the foundation of sustainable development, emphasizing waste management solutions like used cooking oil purification. This study assesses used cooking oil quality based on color, odor, water content, free fatty acids, and peroxide value after sugarcane bagasse adsorption over 1, 2, and 3 days. Using a one-group pretest-posttest design, the 3-day treatment yielded optimal results: peroxide value (5.603 meq/kg), water content (0.070%), and free fatty acids (0.13%) decreased significantly, with improved color and odor compared to the control. The study integrates green chemistry principles, including waste prevention, energy efficiency, renewable material use, chemical degradation design, and safer chemical applications. This minimizes hazardous material usage, energy consumption, and environmental impact. Spent bagasse can be transformed into valuable products like compost or biofuel, providing sustainable solutions for managing used cooking oil waste, while reducing pollution and greenhouse gas emissions. The research offers an effective strategy aligned with Indonesia's conservation goals and green chemistry principles. It encourages public participation in local waste management, potentially inspiring innovative approaches for handling other waste types, thereby strengthening sustainability efforts.

Abstract

Learning in the 21st century has shifted to using technology and various approaches that facilitate students' ability to solve problems independently. One substitute method for assessing students' scientific problem-solving skills and self-efficacy was an AR-based STEM approach. This study aimed to determine the effect and correlation between self-efficacy and students' problem-solving skills in learning science using AR. A quasi-experiment with a pretest-posttest non-equal control group design model was employed. The number of samples in this study consisted of 50 students spread across the experimental (VA) and control (VB) classes. The results of the value of the problem-solving ability in the control class were 58 on the pretest and 77 on the post-test, while the experimental class yielded 61 on the pretest and 82  on the post-test. The average self-efficacy of the control class was 53 on the pretest and 60 on the post-test, while the experimental class yielded 56 on the pretest and 79 on the post-test. The study's results showed that using the AR-based STEM approach affected self-efficacy and problem-solving ability, with a percentage of 21%. The T-test score obtained by tcount>ttable (3.630 > 2.010) indicates a significant correlation between self-efficacy and students' problem-solving ability. Students with higher levels of self-efficacy were better at solving problems, as shown by the regression value for every 1% increase in the self-efficacy variable, contributing 64.13 to the problem-solving ability. Thus, there was a significant correlation between self-efficacy and problem-solving ability in science learning using the AR-based STEM approach.
