Abstract

This research aims to validate and implement an instrument to measure the scientific literacy of high school science program students, including the abilities of Scientific Reasoning, Scientific Inquiry, and Nature of Science (NOS), called the Lisa3D Test. These three instruments were validated using the Rasch model approach and presented as a digital application. This research method was a descriptive survey with a quantitative approach. The research started from the test design, validation, and implementation stages. The types of validity used included content, psychometric, construct, and external validity. For construct validity, the instrument was tested on 197 high school students, while the implementation stage involved 407 students. The research results show that the Lisa3D Test has fulfilled all aspects of validity. The Lisa3D test has been successfully implemented via the page www.lisatest.id  with a cut of 56% for the Scientific Reasoning test, 50% for the Scientific Inquiry test, and 56.25% for the NOS test. This research produces a standard instrument to measure the scientific literacy of high school science program students based on three dimensions, namely Scientific Reasoning, Scientific Inquiry, and Nature of Science (NOS). The Lisa3D test can be implemented on a broader scale and can be an additional criterion for graduating high school students so that all graduates can master science comprehensively.

Abstract

The main problem in this study is that many students still rely on memorisation without understanding the concepts deeply, so their ability to plan, monitor and evaluate learning is less developed. In addition, conventional learning models that are often applied in schools tend to provide less opportunity for students to develop metacognitive skills optimally. Therefore, innovation is needed in learning models that can encourage students to think critically and reflect on their learning process. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of STAD, guided inquiry, and combined STAD and guided inquiry learning models on the metacognitive skills of high school students in Ternate, Indonesia. The research used a quantitative method with a quasi-experimental nonequivalent control group design. The sample consisted of 92 active students in the even semester, selected through purposive sampling. In addition, metacognitive skills were measured using rubrics integrated with test questions. The results showed that the STAD learning model, guided inquiry and a combination of STAD and guided inquiry learning models can improve students' metacognitive skills with a value of Fhitung = 9.317.  In addition, the use of STAD learning model, guided inquiry, and the combination of both models showed better metacognitive skills compared to the use of conventional methods. The conclusion of this research is that the learning model applied affects metacognition skills. The combination of STAD and guided inquiry learning models showed the highest achievement of metacognition skills compared to guided inquiry, STAD, and conventional learning models. However, the STAD and guided inquiry learning models showed the effect of metacognition scores that were not significantly different.

Abstract

Examining ethnobotany in mountainous regions established as popular hiking destinations is essential for conservation initiatives. In this study, we aim to explore the ethnobotanical knowledge of the indigenous communities and to analyze the plant diversity in the ecotourism corridor to Mount Prau in Purwosari Village, Central Java, Indonesia. Ethnobotanical data was collected through semi-structured interviews with informants recruited via purposive sampling. An exploratory approach was used to inventory plant diversity along the ecotourism corridor of Mount Prau in Purwosari village. Our key informants comprised village officials, community leaders, Mount Prau caretakers, and basecamp managers. The findings indicated that the informants explained a total of 68 plant species, which were utilized by the community for various purposes. These plants served as valuable food sources, medicinal ingredients, and economic value, and they were also used for fodder, building materials, shade, and conservation purposes. In the ecotourism corridor in Purwosari village, which serves as the conservation trail for Mount Prau, a total of 117 plant species were identified through an inventory in this study. Finding some invasive alien plant species, such as Acacia decurens and Clidemia hirta, and an endangered species, Castanopsis argentea, highlights the importance of conservation efforts for protecting and preserving the diverse plant species found along the conservation trail to Mount Prau.

Abstract

The phenomenon of ghosting in synchronous online learning, which indicates student disengagement, negatively affects student achievement. This study aims to assess the effectiveness of the Project-Based Learning (PjBL) model in improving student academic achievement, creative thinking skills, and engagement in synchronous online learning environments. A mixed-method, pre-experimental design with a one-group pretest-posttest approach was employed. The participants were enrolled in an Environmental Education course delivered through synchronous online tutorials (webinars). The PjBL model was implemented in six stages: posing essential questions, designing project plans, scheduling tasks, monitoring project activities and progress, assessing outcomes, and evaluating the learning experience. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics. The results revealed that the PjBL model improved student learning outcomes at a low level, significantly enhanced creative thinking skills, and greatly increased student engagement. The study concludes that the PjBL model is a promising pedagogical approach for enhancing synchronous online learning experiences and fostering student cognitive development.

Abstract

This study identifies and analyzes the key factors influencing students’ engagement in science practicum activities within the Open and Distance Higher Education (ODHE) context. 127 students from diverse regions of Indonesia participated in this quantitative study, which assessed perceptions regarding academic challenges, learning interaction, collaborative learning, and the use of technology in online laboratory settings. The results indicate that tutorial modality, employment status, academic achievement (GPA), and residential area significantly influence engagement levels. Students participating in web-based classes and receiving consistent learning feedback reported higher engagement. Conversely, laboratory report writing emerged as a primary challenge, highlighting the urgent need for enhanced scientific writing literacy. The findings are discussed within the Community of Inquiry (CoI) and Self-Determination Theory (SDT) frameworks, emphasizing the importance of teaching presence, social collaboration, and learner autonomy in digital learning environments. Notably, students from rural areas exhibited high motivation despite infrastructural limitations. The study recommends redesigning learning models to include targeted support, structured digital practicum modules, and formative feedback mechanisms. This research contributes to developing inclusive, adaptive, and effective science education practices in ODHE while supporting achieving Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 4: Quality Education.
