Abstract

Perkembangan teknologi digital telah membawa perubahan dalam strategi promosi kesehatan, termasuk dalam peningkatan aktivitas fisik. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji peran teknologi digital, media sosial, dan intervensi berbasis aplikasi dalam mempromosikan aktivitas fisik. Metode yang digunakan adalah literature review dengan pendekatan sistematis melalui Penelitian artikel pada database ilmiah seperti PubMed, Scopus, dan Google Scholar. Artikel yang dipilih merupakan publikasi ilmiah yang relevan dalam 10 tahun terakhir. Hasil Penelitian menunjukkan bahwa penggunaan aplikasi ponsel pintar, perangkat wearable, dan media sosial secara umum mampu meningkatkan aktivitas fisik, motivasi, serta keterlibatan pengguna. Intervensi yang mengintegrasikan berbagai fitur seperti pemantauan aktivitas, umpan balik, personalisasi, dan dukungan sosial terbukti lebih efektif dibandingkan intervensi tunggal. Namun, efektivitas intervensi digital dipengaruhi oleh faktor seperti karakteristik pengguna, kondisi sosial ekonomi, serta desain teknologi yang digunakan. Selain itu, tantangan utama yang ditemukan adalah keberlanjutan penggunaan teknologi dan kesenjangan akses digital.

Abstract

Ethnoscience has gained increasing attention in science education because it connects scientific concepts with local wisdom, cultural practices, and learners’ lived experiences. However, the inclusion of cultural contexts in science learning does not automatically lead to the development of critical thinking. This commentary discusses the integration of ethnoscience into Inquiry-Creative Learning as a pedagogical approach for strengthening the critical thinking skills of prospective science teachers. It argues that ethnoscience can be transformed from a contextual learning resource into a structured pedagogical experience when it is mediated through inquiry, creativity, evidence evaluation, and scientific reasoning. Inquiry-Creative Learning functions as a pedagogical bridge between ethnoscience and critical thinking because it enables prospective science teachers to identify culturally grounded scientific problems, generate hypotheses, design creative investigations, evaluate evidence, and communicate reasoned conclusions. At the same time, this commentary cautions against treating ethnoscience merely as a cultural illustration or assuming that local wisdom automatically promotes critical thinking. The article highlights the need for stronger conceptual framing, authentic assessment, and teacher education curricula that prepare prospective science teachers to integrate ethnoscience through inquiry, creativity, and evidence-based reasoning.

Abstract

This study investigates the influence of food-based contextual experiments on students’ understanding of chemical reaction concepts. Chemical reactions are fundamental topics in chemistry; however, students often experience difficulties in understanding reaction processes because they involve macroscopic observations, symbolic equations, and submicroscopic particle interactions. Food-based contextual experiments were used as an instructional strategy to connect abstract chemical reaction concepts with familiar materials found in students’ daily lives, such as vinegar, baking soda, milk, salt, sugar, and fermented food products. This study employed a pre-experimental design using a one-group pretest–posttest format. The participants consisted of 31 Grade X students at Pondok Pesantren Nurul Hakim Kediri. Data were collected through a conceptual understanding test consisting of five items related to indicators of chemical reaction concepts, including evidence of chemical reactions, reactants and products, conservation of mass, reaction types, and factors affecting reactions. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and a paired-sample t-test. The findings showed that students’ conceptual understanding significantly improved after learning through food-based contextual experiments compared with their initial understanding. The learning activities enabled students to observe real chemical phenomena, discuss reaction evidence, and relate experimental results to chemical equations. These findings suggest that food-based contextual experiments can serve as an effective contextual learning approach to improve students’ understanding of chemical reaction concepts.

Abstract

This study investigates the effect of Problem-Based Learning (PBL) integrated with Sasak local wisdom on high school students' cognitive abilities, particularly in understanding electrolytes and non-electrolytes. PBL, an active learning approach, encourages students to solve real-world problems, fostering critical thinking and problem-solving skills. When combined with local cultural knowledge, such as the Sasak people's practices, PBL enhances academic learning and strengthens students' cultural identity. The research involved two groups of Grade X students from SMA Islam Al-Azhar NW Kayangan, North Lombok. The experimental group (n = 30) received PBL instruction incorporating Sasak cultural contexts, while the control group (n = 31) followed conventional instruction. Data were collected through pretest-posttest assessments and analyzed using paired and independent sample t-tests. The findings reveal that the experimental group demonstrated significantly higher cognitive gains than the control group. The experimental group had a mean gain score of 28.70 (t = -28.70, p < 0.001), compared to 11.95 (t = -11.95, p < 0.001) for the control group. Students in the experimental group showed improved understanding of scientific concepts, such as conductivity and ionization, through real-life applications related to Sasak culture, like local water sources and traditional purification methods. The results highlight the effectiveness of integrating local wisdom into PBL, improving both students' academic performance and their connection to cultural heritage. The study suggests that PBL with local wisdom is a promising pedagogical approach, enhancing cognitive abilities and providing a more meaningful, culturally relevant learning experience.

Abstract

Transformasi digital pendidikan di Indonesia berkembang pesat, tetapi bukti mengenai pembelajaran, asesmen digital, kurikulum, dan kebijakan masih terfragmentasi sehingga hubungan antardomain belum jelas. Studi ini memetakan tren penelitian, membandingkan manfaat dan hambatan antarkonteks, serta merumuskan kerangka integratif transformasi digital pendidikan Indonesia. Systematic Literature Review mencakup publikasi 2021–2025 dengan Google Scholar sebagai sumber penelusuran. Audit naskah menghasilkan 30 studi utama unik untuk sintesis mendalam dan 43 sumber pendukung pada periode yang sama; tiga sumber 2019–2020 digunakan hanya sebagai konteks. Data diekstraksi berdasarkan tahun, jenjang, metode, teknologi, tema, dan hasil, lalu dianalisis melalui sintesis tematik-komparatif. Temuan menunjukkan bahwa efektivitas digitalisasi bergantung pada keselarasan infrastruktur, kompetensi digital pendidik, desain pedagogi dan asesmen, fleksibilitas kurikulum, serta dukungan kebijakan. Hambatan utama meliputi kesenjangan akses, kesiapan guru, validitas asesmen, privasi data, dan ketimpangan wilayah. Studi ini menawarkan kerangka integratif sosio-teknis yang menempatkan pemerataan dan hasil belajar sebagai keluaran interaksi faktor teknologi, manusia, pedagogi, kurikulum, dan tata kelola. Kebijakan digitalisasi perlu berbasis konteks, bukti, dan evaluasi lintas jenjang. Digital transformation in Indonesian education has accelerated, but evidence on digital learning, assessment, curriculum, and policy remains fragmented, obscuring how these domains interact. This study maps research trends, compares benefits and barriers across contexts, and develops an integrative framework for educational digital transformation in Indonesia. A Systematic Literature Review covered publications from 2021 to 2025 using Google Scholar as the discovery source. A manuscript re-audit identified 30 unique primary studies for in-depth synthesis and 43 supporting sources from the same period; three sources from 2019–2020 were retained only for context. Data were extracted by year, educational level, method, technology, theme, and outcome, then analyzed through comparative thematic synthesis. Findings show that digitalization outcomes depend on alignment among infrastructure, educators’ digital competence, pedagogical and assessment design, curriculum flexibility, and policy support. Major constraints include unequal access, teacher readiness, assessment validity, data privacy, and regional disparities. The review proposes an integrative socio-technical framework in which equity and learning outcomes emerge from interactions among technological, human, pedagogical, curricular, and governance factors. Digitalization policy should therefore be context-sensitive, evidence-informed, and evaluated across educational levels.

Abstract

This study investigates how English teachers implement Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) in reading instruction at MTs Ulil Albab NW Gegek and identifies differences in technology integration across grade levels. The study used a descriptive qualitative approach. Data were collected through interviews, classroom observations, and documentation involving English teachers responsible for grades VII, VIII, and IX. The data were analyzed through data reduction, data presentation, and verification, while source triangulation was used to strengthen credibility. The findings indicate that TPACK implementation was uneven and overall remained at a moderate level. The grade VII teacher demonstrated a good ability to connect technology with reading materials and classroom instruction. The grade VIII teacher used audio and video to support listening, pronunciation, and reading activities. In contrast, the grade IX teacher relied mainly on conventional instruction and did not integrate technology into reading lessons. These differences show that technology integration depends not only on access to digital tools but also on teachers’ ability to connect technology with pedagogy and English content. The study concludes that teachers’ TPACK at the school should be strengthened through sustained professional development and improved access to appropriate learning technologies. Future research should evaluate targeted TPACK training and its effects on teachers’ practice and students’ reading outcomes.

Abstract

Aren (Arenga pinnata (Wurmb) Merr.) merupakan palma multiguna yang penting bagi rumah tangga pedesaan, tetapi variasi pengetahuan pemanfaatannya pada masyarakat Minangkabau di Kabupaten Lima Puluh Kota belum terdokumentasi secara komparatif. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengidentifikasi bagian aren yang dimanfaatkan, mendeskripsikan bentuk dan cara pengolahannya, serta membandingkan frekuensi penyebutan pemanfaatan pada tiga kecamatan. Survei etnobotani deskriptif dengan komponen kualitatif dan kuantitatif dilaksanakan pada Desember 2025-Maret 2026 di Kecamatan Gunuang Omeh, Lareh Sago Halaban, dan Mungka. Sebanyak 90 responden berusia ≥40 tahun (30 responden per kecamatan) diwawancarai menggunakan pertanyaan terbuka. Data dianalisis sebagai ragam bentuk pemanfaatan dan frekuensi sitasi responden, disajikan sebagai n (%). Hasil menunjukkan 10 bagian/material aren dengan 28 bentuk pemanfaatan dalam lima kelompok utama, yaitu pangan, kerajinan, bahan bangunan/energi, pengobatan tradisional, dan kebutuhan budaya. Berdasarkan daftar pemanfaatan yang terdokumentasi, Gunuang Omeh memiliki 21 bentuk pemanfaatan, Lareh Sago Halaban 15, dan Mungka 18. Sapu ijuk paling sering disebut di Gunuang Omeh (28/30; 93,3%), sedangkan gula aren dan sapu lidi masing-masing disebut oleh 23/30 responden (76,7%) di Mungka. Temuan ini menunjukkan bahwa pengetahuan pemanfaatan aren tidak seragam antarlokasi meskipun berada dalam satu kabupaten. Dokumentasi berbasis frekuensi sitasi ini menyediakan dasar empiris untuk penelitian lanjutan mengenai transmisi pengetahuan, nilai ekonomi, dan konservasi aren. Sugar palm (Arenga pinnata (Wurmb) Merr.) is a multipurpose palm important to rural households, yet variation in its uses and associated knowledge among Minangkabau communities in Lima Puluh Kota Regency has not been comparatively documented. This study aimed to identify the utilized parts of sugar palm, describe their uses and processing practices, and compare citation frequencies across three districts. A descriptive ethnobotanical survey combining qualitative and quantitative components was conducted from December 2025 to March 2026 in Gunuang Omeh, Lareh Sago Halaban, and Mungka. Ninety respondents aged ≥40 years (30 per district) were interviewed using open-ended questions. Data were summarized as use-type richness and respondent citation frequency, expressed as n (%). The study documented 10 sugar-palm parts/materials and 28 use types grouped into food, handicrafts, construction/energy, traditional medicine, and cultural purposes. Based on the documented list, Gunuang Omeh had 21 use types, Lareh Sago Halaban 15, and Mungka 18. Fiber brooms were most frequently cited in Gunuang Omeh (28/30; 93.3%), while palm sugar and rib brooms were each cited by 23/30 respondents (76.7%) in Mungka. These findings indicate that sugar-palm knowledge is not uniformly distributed across communities within the same regency. Citation-frequency documentation provides an empirical baseline for further research on knowledge transmission, economic value, and sugar-palm conservation.

Abstract

Penelitian ini mengevaluasi perubahan komposisi kimia pasir silika antara material pada front penambangan (pit) dan produk setelah pencucian serta pengolahan di PT Bupolo Indonesia, Kalimantan Tengah. Studi menggunakan desain observasional-komparatif deskriptif, bukan eksperimen kausal. Dua titik sampel diambil secara manual pada pit dan dua titik pada stockpile; sampel kemudian diuji di laboratorium PT Sucofindo menggunakan metode Inductively Coupled Plasma (ICP). Naskah sumber melaporkan hasil pit secara individual, sedangkan hasil stockpile tersedia sebagai satu nilai gabungan untuk dua titik sehingga statusnya sebagai sampel komposit atau rerata perlu diverifikasi. Rata-rata pit menunjukkan Fe₂O₃ 0,016%, TiO₂ 0,0385%, dan SiO₂ 99,62%. Pada stockpile, nilai yang dilaporkan adalah Fe₂O₃ 0,018%, TiO₂ 0,140%, dan SiO₂ 99,45%. Dengan demikian, Fe₂O₃ meningkat 0,002 poin persentase, TiO₂ meningkat 0,1015 poin persentase, sedangkan SiO₂ menurun 0,17 poin persentase. Data ini belum mendukung klaim bahwa pencucian dan screening meningkatkan kualitas kimia atau menyebabkan perubahan tersebut karena sampel tidak terdokumentasi sebagai pasangan material yang sama dan tidak tersedia replikasi analitik maupun neraca massa. Proses plant tetap berfungsi untuk klasifikasi ukuran dan penghilangan pengotor fisik yang dapat terpisah melalui air dan pengayakan, tetapi efektivitasnya terhadap mineral pembawa Fe–Ti perlu diuji melalui sampling berpasangan, karakterisasi mineralogi, dan evaluasi recovery–grade. This study evaluates changes in the chemical composition of silica sand between mine-front (pit) material and product after washing and processing at PT Bupolo Indonesia, Central Kalimantan. The study applies a descriptive observational-comparative design rather than a causal experiment. Two sampling points were collected manually from the pit and two from the stockpile, followed by laboratory analysis at PT Sucofindo using an Inductively Coupled Plasma (ICP) method. The source manuscript reports pit results individually, whereas the stockpile is represented by one combined value for two sampling points; whether this value represents a composite sample or an average requires verification. The pit averages were 0.016% Fe₂O₃, 0.0385% TiO₂, and 99.62% SiO₂. The reported stockpile values were 0.018% Fe₂O₃, 0.140% TiO₂, and 99.45% SiO₂. Thus, Fe₂O₃ increased by 0.002 percentage points, TiO₂ by 0.1015 percentage points, while SiO₂ decreased by 0.17 percentage points. These data do not demonstrate that washing and screening improved chemical quality or caused the observed changes because the samples were not documented as paired material from the same batch and no analytical replication or mass balance was reported. The plant process can still support size classification and removal of physically separable impurities, but its performance for Fe–Ti-bearing minerals requires paired sampling, mineralogical characterization, and recovery–grade evaluation.
