Abstract

Low student learning outcomes are a common problem at the end of the learning process. The use of inappropriate learning models is one of the causes of low student learning outcomes. This study was conducted with the aim of determining the effect of the problem-based learning model on student learning outcomes in the human circulatory system material for class VIII of SMP Negeri 4 Stabat. This study used a quantitative approach with the Quasi Experiment method. The study population was all grade VIII students. The sampling technique was carried out using a purposive sampling method. The sample group was divided into two classes, namely the control class taught with a conventional learning model and the experimental class taught with a problem-based learning model. Each class will be given a pretest and posttest. The instrument used was a multiple-choice test instrument with 23 questions about the human circulatory system material that had been analyzed for validity, reliability, discriminating power and level of difficulty. Before testing the hypothesis, the data were tested for normality and homogeneity. From the results of the analysis, it was obtained that the sample was normally distributed and categorized as homogeneous. Furthermore, statistical hypothesis testing can be done using the t-test. The results of hypothesis testing with the t-test showed that the calculated t value of 2.88 > the t-table value of 2.01 so that Ho was rejected. This means that there is an influence of the problem-based learning model on student learning outcomes in the human circulatory system material for class VIII of SMP Negeri 4 Stabat.

Abstract

Animal Development Course is the basic component of the biology study program. Given the importance of Animal Development courses as a basis for understanding advanced concepts in the field of biology, the identification of factors that cause learning difficulties is very important. By understanding these factors, it is hoped that a more effective learning strategy can be developed and in accordance with the needs of students. Based on that background, this research aims to analyze the factors that cause learning difficulties for Biology students at Medan State University in the Animal Development course. This research is expected to contribute to the development of more effective learning strategies and improve the quality of biology education at Medan State University. This research uses a qualitative approach. The instrument used in this study is an interview sheet designed to explore the factors of learning difficulties in depth.

Abstract

Biotechnology learning in higher education often faces challenges in connecting theoretical concepts with practical applications and the development of essential 21st-century skills. This study aims to describe the development of biotechnology products based on local medicinal plants through the Project-Based Learning (PjBL) model and to analyze its potential in improving biotechnology literacy, creativity, and science process skills among Biology Education students. This research employed a Research and Development (R&D) approach using the ADDIE model and involved undergraduate students in the Biology Education program. The results indicated that the implementation of PjBL through projects exploring local medicinal plants, such as tissue culture explants, bioprospecting of nut grass tubers (Cyperus rotundus), and the utilization of local wisdom through edible fern (Diplazium esculentum), was highly effective. This learning approach significantly improved students' cognitive learning outcomes (p-value = 0.009), science process skills, and creativity. Project success was demonstrated by high practical achievement rates, including 100% in preparing sterile culture media and 89% in obtaining sterile explants for tissue culture. Therefore, local medicinal plant-based PjBL represents an innovative and effective approach for preparing prospective biology educators who are competent, creative, and equipped with an appreciation of local wisdom.

Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the effect of a contextual-based e-module developed using Flip PDF Professional on students' learning outcomes in the Animal Structure course, particularly the Skeletal System subtopic. The study employed a quasi-experimental method using a Nonequivalent Control Group Design. The research was conducted at the Department of Biology, Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, Universitas Negeri Medan, involving 80 students selected through purposive sampling and assigned to an experimental group and a control group. The experimental group received instruction using a contextual-based e-module developed with Flip PDF Professional, whereas the control group was taught using conventional learning materials consisting of PowerPoint presentations and printed textbooks. The research instrument was a 36-item multiple-choice achievement test that had been validated for content validity, reliability, item difficulty, and discrimination index. The collected data were analyzed using an independent-samples t-test and normalized gain (N-Gain) analysis. The results revealed that the mean pre-test scores of the control and experimental groups were 60.24 and 60.99, respectively. After the intervention, the mean post-test scores increased to 76.43 in the control group and 88.60 in the experimental group. The control group achieved an N-Gain score of 0.40 (moderate category), while the experimental group obtained an N-Gain score of 0.70 (high category). Furthermore, the independent-samples t-test yielded a significance value of 0.001 (p < 0.05), indicating a statistically significant difference in learning outcomes between the two groups. These findings demonstrate that the contextual-based e-module developed using Flip PDF Professional significantly improved students' learning outcomes in the Skeletal System subtopic.
