Abstract

Environmental pollution, especially heavy metal contamination, has become a major threat to aquatic ecosystems. This study aimed to investigate the efficiency of Jeruju (Acanthus illicifolius) as a bioindicator and phytoremediator of copper (Cu) pollution in mangrove waters of Surabaya. Sampling was conducted in three locations: Gunung Anyar Tambak, Surabaya Mangrove Botanical Garden, and Wonorejo Mangrove. Each location consisted of two sampling points: dock and estuary. Water and Jeruju leaf samples (upper, middle, and lower parts) were analyzed for Cu concentration using Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy (AAS). Environmental parameters were also measured. The results showed that Cu concentration in water samples was very low and only detected at Gunung Anyar dock (0.001 ppm). However, Cu accumulation in Jeruju leaves varied, with the highest concentration (3.16 ppm) found in lower leaves at Gunung Anyar dock. The correlation between water quality parameters, particularly pH and TDS, and Cu concentration indicated that Jeruju can effectively accumulate Cu and serve as a potential phytoremediator and bioindicator in polluted Mangrove ecosystems.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the effectiveness of the ethnoscience-based Project Based Learning (PjBL) learning model in improving student learning outcomes in Biology subjects at the high school level. The background of this study is based on the demands of 21st-century education that emphasizes the mastery of critical thinking skills, collaboration, creativity, and communication (4C), as well as the need for contextual learning that is relevant to local culture. The method used is quantitative descriptive with a pretest-posttest control group design. The sample consisted of two experimental classes and one control class from grade X students of the Tahfidz Program at SMA ABBS Surakarta. Data were collected through cognitive ability tests and analyzed using N-Gain scores and t-tests. The results showed that there was an increase in learning outcomes in the experimental group with an average N-Gain of 56.5507 % (moderate category), but the increase was not statistically significant compared to the control group. Nevertheless, the integration of ethnoscience in PjBL has been shown to have a positive impact on understanding scientific concepts and preserving local cultural values. Therefore, this model has the potential to be an innovative alternative in contextual and meaningful Biology learning.

Abstract

Low levels of student engagement and scientific reasoning skills in science education remain a major concern in higher education. This study aims to explore university students' responses after participating in science learning facilitated by the Data-Based Learning Cycle (DaBeLCy) model. The participants were students from three different universities enrolled in introductory physics courses that implemented the DaBeLCy approach. A survey method was employed using a structured questionnaire designed to assess five key aspects: students' perceptions of the model, conceptual understanding, scientific reasoning skills, learning engagement, and the perceived supportiveness of the learning environment. The results revealed that most students responded positively to the implementation of the DaBeLCy model. They reported improved conceptual understanding, greater engagement during class activities, and enhanced critical thinking skills. Furthermore, both the learning environment and lecturer support were perceived as conducive to the effective application of the model. These findings suggest that the DaBeLCy model is well-received by students and holds strong potential for improving the quality of science education in higher education. Further studies are recommended to examine its effectiveness across diverse learning contexts and disciplines.

Abstract

Science education worldwide is under increasing pressure to respond to the urgent challenges of sustainability, cultural diversity, and knowledge justice. Dominant science curricula, shaped by globalized standards, often exclude the knowledge systems of Indigenous and rural communities, undermining both local relevance and ecological insight. This paper examines how secondary science education research in the Global South engages with Indigenous and rural knowledge systems. Using a structured scoping review approach, eight empirical studies were analyzed through thematic synthesis to identify conceptual trends, pedagogical strategies, and systemic tensions. The review finds a growing effort to reframe science education through culturally rooted pedagogies, integration of traditional ecological knowledge, and curriculum designs that support epistemic plurality. These innovations, however, emerge within constraining conditions: fragmented policy implementation, teacher uncertainty, and structural inequities. The analysis also highlights underexplored regions and unresolved tensions between standardization and local responsiveness. Taken together, the findings reveal both the possibilities and limitations of current reform efforts. This study contributes to global conversations on reimagining science education as a practice that sustains cultural identity, supports ecological resilience, and equips learners to navigate diverse knowledge worlds with critical awareness and ethical agency.

Abstract

The use of technology in science education facilitates students' understanding of abstract material such as the human digestive system. This study investigates the effect of integrating Augmented Reality (AR)-based e-flashcards into the Team Games Tournament (TGT) model on students' biology learning outcomes. The research employed a one-group pretest-posttest pre-experimental design, involving 33 eleventh-grade students at SMAIT Al Hikmah Boyolali, Central Java, conducted over one week in March 2025. A 15-item multiple-choice test based on Bloom's taxonomy (C4–C5) was used to measure learning outcomes. The instrument was validated by expert judgment and item analysis. Findings showed an increase in the average posttest score (76.38 ± 6.50) compared to the pretest (35.59 ± 11.67). The Wilcoxon signed-rank test revealed a significant difference (p < 0.001), with a large effect size (r = 0.78), indicating the effectiveness of the intervention. The results suggest that AR-based e-flashcards, when combined with the TGT model, enhance student engagement, collaboration, and understanding of abstract concepts. This approach offers a promising strategy for improving learning outcomes in high school biology instruction.

Abstract

Coconut agro-industries in tropical regions, including Indonesia, play a critical role in rural economies but often face challenges related to low resource efficiency, fragmented processing systems, and the underutilization of by-products. These inefficiencies lead to economic losses and environmental burdens due to biomass waste. This study aims to develop an integrated and sustainable optimization framework for coconut processing that simultaneously enhances profitability and ensures the full utilization of coconut biomass. The framework is formulated as a Mixed-Integer Linear Programming (MILP) model that captures production interdependencies, raw material constraints, and facility capacity limitations across multiple processing units, including oil extraction from coconut fruits, charcoal production from coconut shells, and flour processing from coconut pulp. The model implementation demonstrates the viability of integrated production planning, with optimal facility activation and complete utilization of coconut derivatives, in line with circular economy principles. These findings highlight the potential of the proposed model as a robust decision-support tool for improving sustainability and efficiency in coconut-based agro-industry.
