Abstract

     The use of smartphones has been widely used by the public. However, in the field of education teachers have not made optimal use of the online learning process. Electronic comic media (e-comics) can be an interesting choice of  learning media for problems experienced by students when online such as low motivation and student learning outcomes, one of which is psychotropic mateeial. The purpose of this research was to analyse the characteristics of e-comic biology learning media on psychotropic material for high school students, analyse the feasibility of e-comic biology learning media on psychotropic material for high school students, and analyse the effectiveness of e-comic biology learning media on student learning outcomes on psychotropic material. The research used a Research and Development (R&D) approach which was tested at SMA Negeri 1 Petarukan on a small scale with 24 respondents from class XII MIPA. While the large-scale trial with 100 students from XI MIPA 4, XI MIPA 5, and XI MIPA 6 respondents. The e-comics that were successfully developed were declared valid by media and material experts with obtaining percentages of 93.6% and 88.8 % which showed e-comics in the very feasible criteria. Student learning outcomes after using e-comics obtained a classical completeness percentage of class XI MIPA 4 of 97%, XI MIPA 5 of 91%, and XI MIPA 6 of 91%. The responses of teachers and students showed positive results, seen from the percentages obtained, namely 94% and 98.6%, which indicated that e-comics were in very good criteria. Based on the results of the study, it can be concluded that e-comic learning media on psychotropic material meet the criteria of being appropriate and effective for use as learning media for high school students.

Abstract

      This research was motivated by the use of androids in schools after the pandemic, which caused students' learning concentration to be disrupted and the learning model to be less attractive. Students prefer learning models that are more interesting than learning models using the lecture method. One of the interesting learning models is e-module media. E-Module offers easy interactive navigation for its users, which can be applied via Android. The object of this research is the students of Class X, SMA N 12, Semarang. This research is a type of Research and Development (R&D) 4D model, but it is only carried out in three stages: define, design, and develop. The results of this study indicate that the developed e-module media is very suitable for use as a learning medium. This can be seen from the average validation score percentage of media experts of 94.5%, which is a very decent category. The percentage of the average validation score of material experts is 91,5%, which is a very decent category. The results of the readability test questionnaire were 88,1% in the very decent category. There is an increase in students' critical thinking through the N-gain test of 9% in the low category, 31% in the medium category, and 60% in the high category, where as many as > 80% of students get the medium to high category of increased critical thinking or N-gain > 0,3. Based on the results of this study, it can be concluded that the android-based e-module through problem-based learning is very feasible to use and can improve students' critical thinking on environmental change material.

Abstract

The PBLHS initiative in schools aims to cultivate individuals with strong environmental literacy skills, which can contribute to reducing environmental issues. The results of the interview suggest that the schools in Adiwiyata have not carried out an assessment of the environmental literacy of their students, despite its critical role in enhancing policies for PBLHS implementation. This study aims to assess the environmental literacy of high school students in Semarang regarding their knowledge, cognitive skills, and attitudes. The research used a descriptive quantitative method, surveying 375 respondents from class XI MIPA in the second semester of 2022/2023 from high schools that were awarded Adiwiyata. The research instrument utilized the environmental literacy assessment framework developed by NAAEE and adapted to high school biology materials. The environmental literacy of Class XI MIPA students at Adiwiyata High School in Semarang City is categorized as moderate in terms of knowledge, cognitive skills, and attitudes, with an average score of 35 for knowledge, 37 for cognitive skills, and 45 for attitudes. Knowledge of ecological systems, the impact of gas pollutants on environmental pollution, and the ability to identify environmental issues are critical areas for improvement. Additionally, students must be responsible for protecting the environment and have a strong sense of self-efficacy. Factors that influence students' environmental literacy skills include individual, school, and family environment, particularly in developing habits that promote environmental protection.
