Abstract

As global ecological crises increase, the role of literary studies in promoting environmental consciousness has garnered growing academic interest. Ecocriticism, a branch of literary criticism, helps learners analyze literature from the perspective of environmental issues. At Khulna University, students of the English Discipline show a strong appreciation for nature and an interest in preserving biodiversity. This study explores how ecocriticism can be used to enhance environmental awareness among these students. The aim of this study is to motivate students to engage with ecocriticism and to study literature in terms of environmental awareness. The research employed a mixed-methods approach. It included workshops, surveys, field visits, and focus group discussions. More than one hundred students and several faculty members of the English Discipline participated enthusiastically in the workshops. They watched video clips related to environmental disasters and struggles of the coastal people who are vulnerable to many environmental threats. The findings confirm a significant increase in students’ understanding of environmental issues, their enthusiasm to apply ecocritical frameworks in both academic and activist contexts, and their willingness to engage in sustainable practices. Thus, this study highlights the potential of literature as a transformative tool in promoting environmental responsibility within academic institutions.

Abstract

The fashion industry is rapidly expanding while exerting significant pressure on the environment through carbon emissions, textile waste, water pollution, and deforestation. This study investigates how environmental knowledge influences sustainable fashion behavior among forestry students at Tadulako University. A quantitative survey was conducted with 50 purposively selected students who had received basic environmental education. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation, and multiple regression. Results show that overall environmental knowledge is positively related to sustainable fashion attitudes and behaviors, with correlation strengths ranging from weak to moderate. Multiple regression produced an R² of 0.495, indicating that the independent variables collectively explain nearly half of the variation in sustainable fashion behavior. Among the seven knowledge indicators, the ability to seek and read information on sustainable fashion (X6) emerged as the only significant predictor, strongly linked to practices such as reading garment care labels and upcycling. These findings highlight the critical role of practical, applicable knowledge in fostering sustainable fashion consumption

Abstract

This study examines the effect of integrating inquiry-based learning within the 5E-Framework on enhancing conceptual understanding and critical thinking skills in the topic of density among pre-service teachers at Bagabaga College of Education, with attention to gender differences. Using a one-group pretest–posttest design, data were collected from Level 200 pre-service teachers (N = 52) and analyzed using SPSS. Results showed no statistically significant difference in normalized gain scores between males (mean NG = -0.045) and females (mean NG = -0.044); t(50) = 0.965, p > .05, indicating the model improved conceptual understanding similarly across genders. However, significant gender differences were found in critical thinking dimensions: analysis (p = .000, η² = .221) and logic (p = .005, η² = .129), while no significant difference was observed in the evaluation dimension (p = .444, η² = .010). These findings suggest that while integrating inquiry-based learning within the 5E-Framework is effective in supporting general learning gains in science concepts such as density, differences in specific cognitive skills remain. The study recommends incorporating targeted interventions to ensure more equitable development of critical thinking across genders in science education

Abstract

This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the Green Belt Policy in controlling urban heat and air pollution in Semarang City, with a particular focus on the role of community participation in its implementation. A mixed-method approach was applied, combining legal analysis through statute and conceptual approaches with field research. Primary data were obtained from the Public Works Department (Dinas Pekerjaan Umum) of Semarang City, providing information on the extent, maintenance, and challenges of green belt areas, and from the Environmental Agency (Dinas Lingkungan Hidup), which supplied air quality index records and urban temperature data. Additional data were gathered through literature review, direct observation, and interviews with local communities. The results indicate that although green belts contribute to reducing local air temperatures and improving air quality, their potential is not fully optimized due to limited maintenance budgets, inadequate human resources, and low public involvement. Community participation remains minimal, largely due to a lack of awareness and incentives. Strengthening regulatory enforcement, integrating community-based management, and utilizing environmental monitoring technology are recommended to enhance the policy’s impact. These findings can serve as a reference for local governments in other urban areas to adopt similar strategies for sustainable environmental management

Abstract

Biology learning often involves complex and abstract information that can increase students’ cognitive load and affect learning effectiveness. Therefore, cognitive load has become an important topic in science education research. This study aims to analyze the development and research trends related to cognitive load in biology learning using a bibliometric approach. Data were collected from the Scopus database, focusing on journal articles and review papers published between 2014 and 2024. A total of 200 documents were analyzed using Biblioshiny. The analysis included co-occurrence, co-authorship, citation, and thematic mapping techniques. The results show an increasing trend in publications, indicating growing attention to cognitive load in biology learning. The findings also reveal that research in this field is interdisciplinary and has shifted from basic cognitive studies toward more applied approaches, particularly in instructional design and learning media. Key authors, journals, and highly cited documents play an important role in shaping research development. Overall, this study provides an overview of research trends and highlights opportunities for future studies in developing effective learning strategies based on cognitive load principles.

Abstract

The implementation of the Merdeka curriculum as an effort to improve the quality of education focuses on 21st-century skills, including critical thinking skills, which are essential for problem-solving. Evidence indicates junior high school students exhibit low problem-solving and cognitive ability. This study aims to analyze the differences and levels of problem-solving ability and cognitive outcomes in science after implementing a Problem-Based Learning model supported by Peer Tutoring. This quasi-experimental research used a non-equivalent control group design at Semarang State Junior High School 8, with cluster random sampling. Data were gathered through observation, test, and documentation. The research results showed a significant improvement in problem-solving ability and cognitive outcomes in science after implementing the Problem-Based Learning (PBL) model with Peer Tutoring. This is evidenced by the results of an independent t-test, which found that tcount was greater than ttable. The average posttest problem-solving score in the experimental class was higher (80.8) than in the control class (70.7). Similarly, the average posttest score for cognitive learning outcomes in science in the experimental class was higher (81.6) than in the control class (74.4). Analysis of problem-solving ability level and cognitive learning outcomes level showed an increase in the number of students in each indicator's good and very good criteria.
