Abstract

The research-based enrichment module is a teaching material designed from recent studies and aligned with relevant learning content. This module aims to enrich students’ knowledge, improve their critical thinking skills, and enhance their understanding of current scientific concepts. This study investigated the effectiveness of a research-based enrichment module on karamunting plant identification in improving students’ learning outcomes. An experimental design with a pretest-posttest control group was applied. The population included 157 Grade X students at SMK Pertanian Pembangunan Negeri Sembawa. Using cluster sampling, 30 students from Grade X ATP 1 (control) and 30 from Grade X ATP 2 (experimental) were selected. The experimental group used the enrichment module, while the control group did not use any additional learning materials. Data were collected through cognitive learning outcome tests and analysed using descriptive statistics and a paired sample t-test. Results showed the experimental group achieved a mean post-test score of 81.67, compared to 70.50 in the control group. The paired sample t-test indicated a significant effect (p = 0.000, p 0.05). Thus, the enrichment module on karamunting identification significantly improved students’ cognitive learning outcomes.

Abstract

The research is motivated by the suboptimal use of video learning media, which does not meet the need for engaging, easily understandable, and relevant learning media that align with the current visual and digital learning habits of students. The learning media used are still not optimal, resulting in low student learning outcomes. This research was conducted with the aim of developing valid, practical, and effective learning video media using the CapCut application on the topic of the human circulatory system for 11th-grade students. The method used in this research is development research (RD) with the ADDIE model, which includes five stages: analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation. The subjects in this study were 30 students from class XI-7 for the 2024/2025 academic year. The data collection instrument was in the form of validation questionnaires from media, material, and language experts. The questionnaire measuring practicality was distributed to biology teachers and students, while the effectiveness was measured using a pretest-posttest. Data were analyzed descriptively using both quantitative and qualitative methods. The research results show that the developed video media has a validity level from media experts of 98.08% (very valid category), material experts of 92.5% (very valid category), and language experts of 100% (very valid category). Additionally, the response from teachers was 89.58% and the response from students was 93.5% (very practical category). The results of the effectiveness test using student test scores showed a pretest percentage of 67.26% and a posttest percentage of 84.6%. To see theimprovement in student learning outcomes, the N-Gain was calculated with a percentage of 50.99%, categorized as quite effective. Therefore, this CapCut-based learning video media can be used as an effective alternative media in the Biology learning process, especially on the topic of the human circulatory system.

Abstract

Science students play a vital role in the advancement of information and technology; therefore, environmental awareness is a crucial component of sustainable behavior. This study aims to examine the level of environmental awareness among science students and the factors influencing it. A descriptive qualitative approach was employed, with data collected through observations, interviews, and literature reviews. The research respondents consisted of science students from the biology, chemistry, and physics study programs. The findings indicate that science students generally demonstrate a moderate level of environmental awareness, particularly in terms of knowledge. However, this awareness is not yet fully reflected in strong attitudes and consistent pro-environmental behaviors in daily life. Therefore, sustained efforts by educational institutions are necessary to enhance students’ environmental understanding and active participation in environmental protection.
