Abstract

Conceptual understanding is a critical aspect of learning, particularly in biology, where students must grasp complex and abstract concepts. This study investigates the relationship between students' learning styles and their comprehension of the topic of viruses in a tenth-grade science class at MA Raudlatus Syabab Jember during the 2023/2024 academic year. A qualitative descriptive approach was employed, utilizing questionnaires, observations, and interviews to gather data from 34 students and their biology teacher. The findings indicate that visual learners exhibit strong comprehension when using images, diagrams, and structured notes; auditory learners perform better when engaging in discussions and listening to verbal explanations; and kinesthetic learners achieve deeper understanding through hands-on activities and practical demonstrations. However, each learning style presents unique challenges that can hinder comprehension if instructional methods are not aligned with students’ preferences. The study highlights the necessity of incorporating multimodal teaching strategies to cater to diverse learning styles, ensuring more effective knowledge retention and academic success.

Abstract

This study investigates the effectiveness of an e-booklet in improving students' scientific explanation skills in the human immune  system topic. A quasi-experimental design was employed, involving two groups: an experimental class using the e-booklet and a control class relying on conventional teaching methods. The study was conducted at SMAN 1 Leces Probolinggo, with 31 students in each group. Pretest and posttest assessments were used to measure scientific explanation skills, which were analyzed through statistical tests, including normality, homogeneity, t-test, and N-gain calculations. The results showed that the experimental class had a significantly higher improvement in scientific explanation skills than the control class. The N-gain score for the experimental class was 0.507, classified as moderate, whereas the control class scored 0.142, classified as low. The analysis of the three components of scientific explanation: claims, evidence, and reasoning indicated that the e-booklet was particularly effective in enhancing students' ability to construct claims and provide supporting evidence, while reasoning skills showed moderate improvement. Statistical analysis using the Mann-Whitney test confirmed a significant difference in posttest scores between the two groups (p<0.05), supporting the effectiveness of the e-booklet. The findings suggest that the e-booklet serves as an effective digital learning tool for fostering scientific explanation skills.

Abstract

This study examines the correlation between students’ comprehension of the human movement system and their attitudes toward maintaining bone and joint health among XI MIPA students at MA Wahid Hasyim Balung Jember. Using a quantitative correlational research design, data were collected through multiple-choice tests measuring students’ comprehension and Likert-scale questionnaires assessing their attitudes. A total of 66 students participated in the study, with data analyzed using Spearman’s rank correlation test. The findings indicated that students had a high level of comprehension, with 77% achieving a very high category and 11% classified as high. However, their attitudes toward bone and joint health were predominantly moderate, with 74% in the medium category and only 24% in the high category. Statistical analysis revealed no significant correlation between comprehension and attitude, as evidenced by a correlation coefficient of -0.056 and a p-value of 0.653 (p > 0.05). These results suggest that despite possessing strong cognitive understanding, students do not necessarily translate their knowledge into proactive health behaviors. The findings highlight the need for educational strategies that bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical application, encouraging students to adopt healthier behaviors.

Abstract

The rapid advancement of technology has led to the integration of digital tools in education to enhance student engagement and comprehension. This study examines the planning, implementation, and evaluation of biology learning on the human excretory system using Canva as an instructional medium for 11th-grade science students at SMAS Ibrahimy Wongsorejo, Banyuwangi. Employing a qualitative descriptive approach, data were collected through observations, interviews, and documentation to analyze the effectiveness of Canva in the learning process. The findings indicate that Canva facilitates structured lesson planning by providing interactive and visually appealing materials, making complex biological concepts more accessible. During implementation, students demonstrated increased engagement, creativity, and collaboration when utilizing Canva to design educational materials. Furthermore, evaluation through formative and summative assessments revealed improvements in students' understanding and retention of the subject matter. Teachers reported enhanced instructional delivery and positive student feedback regarding the use of Canva. However, challenges such as internet access and digital literacy were identified as areas requiring further attention.

Abstract

This study investigates students' skills in data collection, graph-making, and conclusion-making during a basic physics course on force and motion using worksheet-integrated PhET simulations. Sixteen students at IAIN Kerinci were selected through total population sampling. Worksheets were designed to guide students through three investigative tasks: examining the effects of resultant forces, exploring the relationship between mass and acceleration under constant force, and analyzing the relationship between force and acceleration under constant mass. Quantitative descriptive and correlational methods were employed to evaluate and analyze students’ skill levels and relationships between the skills. Results indicate that students excel in data collection, achieving consistent and high scores, but face challenges in graph construction and conclusion-making, as evidenced by higher variability and errors. Significant misconceptions, such as misunderstanding the conditions of zero resultant force and acceleration, were identified. Correlational analysis revealed a strong, positive relationship between data collection and graph-making skills, but no significant correlation with conclusion-making skills. Regression analysis suggested limited predictive ability of the foundational skills for inferential reasoning. The findings underscore the need to focus on enhancing graph-making and pattern-identification processes to support conclusion-making. This research highlights critical areas for improving physics education and developing scientific reasoning skills.

Abstract

Empowerment of higher-order thinking skills is one of the goals to be achieved in 21st century learning. Learning in biology has led to quantitative data that requires reasoning and analysis to understand it. This literature review aims to discover trends in quantitative literacy-based learning research to increase HOTS. The research method used is a systematic literature review of several reputable articles published in recent years through content analysis. Based on the 16 papers used in this review, it was found that there was a tendency to increase research variation in various methods. This study also shows that ecological material is the most widely used topic in research related to quantitative literacy, both at the high school and university levels. Concerning the findings of this study, several recommendations have been put forward for future research that underpins quantitative literacy as the main focus in increasing HOTS. Some of these recommendations include increasing the variety of types of research and choosing a more diverse biological topic.
