Abstract

Purpose of the study: The purpose of this study was to determine the perception of Biology Education students towards the implementation of Animal Physiology practicum in the Biology Education Laboratory and to determine the factors that influence student perceptions towards the implementation of the practicum. This study aims to provide insight into improving the quality of practicum learning in higher education. Methodology: This type of research is descriptive with qualitative and quantitative approaches. The subjects of the study were fourth semester Biology Education students of UIN Alauddin Makassar. Data collection techniques used a Likert scale questionnaire 1–5 and documentation. Data analysis techniques include descriptive qualitative analysis for narrative data and quantitative analysis for questionnaire data in a descriptive-qualitative manner. Main Findings: The main findings of this study show that students perceive teaching assistants as supportive in guiding practicum groups, though there are issues with punctuality. Facilities and infrastructure, including laboratory cleanliness and equipment, are generally adequate but require improvement. Students report better understanding of animal physiology post-practicum, and active participation during the exercises. However, some students were not diligent with preliminary tasks, and there were discrepancies in the provision of assignments and material explanations. Novelty/Originality of this study: This study offers a unique perspective by integrating the roles of teaching assistants and laboratory assistants in shaping student perceptions of animal physiology practicums. It highlights the importance of punctuality, material explanations, and active involvement, providing practical insights for improving laboratory-based learning.

Abstract

Purpose of the study: The purpose of this study was to determine the differences in scientific attitudes and cognitive knowledge of students between guided inquiry and direct learning models in practical activities by controlling students' prior knowledge. Methodology: This quasi-experimental study employed a Non-Equivalent Pretest-Posttest Control Group Design. From a population of 88 students, 57 were selected using purposive sampling. Instruments included multiple-choice tests and Likert scale observation sheets. Data were analyzed using Microsoft Excel and IBM SPSS 23 with One-Way MANCOVA and Partial Eta Squared for effect size. Main Findings: The guided inquiry learning model is effective in improving students' scientific attitudes and cognitive knowledge. The average scientific attitude of students in the experimental class was 85, compared to 70 in the control class. The average post-test cognitive knowledge score was 75.17 in the experimental class and 50.93 in the control class. The One Way MANCOVA test showed significant differences between groups (p = 0.0001; partial eta squared = 0.840). Partial eta squared is a measure of effect size that indicates the proportion of variance in the dependent variables explained by the independent variable. A value of 0.840 suggests a large effect, meaning the learning model had a strong influence on students’ outcomes. Novelty/Originality of this study: This study integrates guided inquiry learning into food testing on the digestive system topic, uniquely controlling prior knowledge to examine its impact on scientific attitudes and cognitive outcomes, thus enhancing inquiry-based learning insights.

Abstract

Purpose of the study: This study aims to investigate the potential of compounds derived from medicinal plants as target protein inhibitors against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) using an in silico approach. Methodology: This study employed an in silico molecular docking approach to evaluate active compounds from Coleus blumei leaves against MRSA. Target proteins included MecR1, PBP2a, and oxacilloyl-acylated MecR1. Docking was performed using PyRx, PyMOL, and Discovery Studio with molecular data sourced from GC-MS, PubChem, and PDB. Main Findings: The compound Hexahydro-3H-cyclopenta[a]pentalen-3-one, 2,4a,5,6,7,8-hexahydro-4,4,7a-trimethyl-, (4aR,7R,7aS) demonstrated the highest binding affinity across all three MRSA resistance-associated target proteins (PBP2a, MecR1, and oxacillin-acylated MecR1), surpassing penicillin as the control. Molecular interaction visualizations revealed stable hydrogen bonding and hydrophobic interactions with key active site residues, particularly SER, LEU, and PHE in PBP2a. Pharmacokinetic evaluation based on Lipinski's Rule of Five indicated that top-performing compounds, including this compound and Aristolone, exhibit favorable oral drug-like properties. These findings highlight the strong potential of these natural compounds as lead candidates for the development of antibacterial agents targeting MRSA resistance mechanisms. Novelty/Originality of this study: The novelty of this study lies in the utilization of specific natural compounds as potential antimicrobial agents against antibiotic resistance proteins, which have not been widely reported before. This study provides an initial basis for the development of herbal antimicrobial drug candidates for MRSA infections.

Abstract

Purpose of the study: This study aims to determine the description of students' perceptions of the Food Microbiology course, analyze students' learning outcomes in the course, and identify the influence of students' perceptions on learning outcomes to provide a basis for developing more effective learning strategies in higher education environments. Methodology: This study employed a quantitative approach with a survey method. The research instruments consisted of a Likert-scale questionnaire and documentation of learning outcome scores. The sampling technique used simple random sampling. Data analysis was performed using descriptive statistics, the Kolmogorov-Smirnov normality test, ANOVA linearity test, Product Moment correlation, and simple linear regression using IBM SPSS Statistics software. Main Findings: Student perceptions of the Food Microbiology course were moderate, while student learning outcomes were generally good. The research data were normally distributed and met the linearity assumption. Correlation analysis showed a strong relationship between student perceptions and learning outcomes. Simple linear regression results indicated that student perceptions significantly influenced learning outcomes in the Food Microbiology course. Novelty/Originality of this study: The novelty of this research lies in its empirical analysis of the influence of student perceptions on learning outcomes, specifically in Food Microbiology courses, a topic rarely studied. This research provides a novel contribution to understanding the importance of student perceptions as a determinant of academic success and serves as a basis for developing more contextual and effective learning strategies.

Abstract

Purpose of the study: This study aims to determine the effect of the Think-Talk-Write learning strategy on the mastery of the concept of the human digestive system in junior high school students and to determine the activities and responses of students during Biology learning using this strategy. Methodology: This study used a quasi-experimental method with a two-group pretest-posttest design. The research instruments included multiple-choice tests, observation sheets, and student response questionnaires. The sampling techniques used were purposive sampling and random sampling. Data analysis was performed using the Liliefors test, Fisher's exact test, t-test, and N-Gain analysis. Main Findings: The results of the study showed that the Think-Talk-Write learning strategy significantly influenced mastery of the concept of the human digestive system. Students in the experimental class achieved better learning outcomes than those in the control class. Student activity during learning increased at each meeting, and most students responded positively to the implementation of the Think-Talk-Write strategy in Biology learning. Novelty/Originality of this study: The novelty of this research lies in the specific application of the Think-Talk-Write strategy to the human digestive system to measure junior high school students' conceptual mastery. This study also integrates analysis of conceptual mastery, learning activities, and student responses, providing a more comprehensive picture of the effectiveness of the Think-Talk-Write strategy in biology learning.
