Abstract

The main issue addressed in this study is the limited creative thinking skills among students. During classroom activities, teachers often employ learning models that are less effective, causing students to become passive and struggle to grasp the material presented. This study seeks to examine how the implementation of the Project-Based Learning (PjBL) model affects students' academic performance and creative thinking abilities in seventh-grade biology instruction. A quantitative descriptive design was adopted, employing a quasi-experimental method with a randomized pretest–posttest control group structure. The research population consisted of 51 students. Data were collected through pretest and posttest instruments, as well as observation sheets assessing creative thinking and project performance. The findings revealed that the average score achieved by the experimental group (75.96) exceeded that of the control group (68.40). In addition, learners who engaged in the experimental treatment exhibited a very high level of creative thinking ability, whereas those in the control group demonstrated a good level. These findings suggest that applying the Project-Based Learning approach contributes significantly to improving students' academic performance and enhancing their creative thinking competence.

Abstract

Education units must have laboratory management according to their standards. Laboratories in schools should be guided by standardized laboratories that are in accordance with the national standards of education in Indonesia. The purpose of the study was to determine the description of science laboratory management at SMP Negeri 1 Karangnongko in the 2020/2021 academic year. The research subject is the science laboratory at SMP Negeri 1 Karangnongko in the 2020/2021 academic year. This research is a qualitative descriptive research. Data collection techniques used interviews, observation, and documentation. The instrument used was an observation sheet with a Guttman scale. The validity test was carried out by triangulating data sources which were analyzed using the model from Miles and Huberman with the stages of data collection, data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The results showed that the management of science laboratories at SMP Negeri 1 Karangnongko has an average percentage of 53.25% with fairly good criteria, which means that the management of science laboratories at SMP Negeri 1 Karangnongko has not met the standards that have been set, and regulated in the Guidelines for the Management and Utilization of Science Laboratories by the Ministry of Education and Culture in 2017. It is hoped that the results of this study will be an evaluation material that is followed up to improve the quality of the laboratory, so that learning and utilization of science laboratory facilities in schools are carried out optimally and in accordance with the standards.

Abstract

Misconceptions are one of the primary obstacles in learning science at the elementary school level, which can hinder in-depth understanding of concepts and disrupt the learning process, ultimately causing students to fail in their learning. This study aims to examine the role of the 5E Learning Cycle model (Engage, Explore, Explain, Elaborate, Evaluate) in overcoming misconceptions of science concepts among elementary school students through a literature review approach. The method used is a systematic literature review of various relevant scientific sources over the past ten years. The research findings indicate that the 5E Learning Cycle model is effective in identifying, clarifying, and reconstructing students' misconceptions through structured and student- centered learning stages. The "Engage" and "Explore" stages allow educators to reveal students' initial understanding, while the "Explain" and "Elaborate" stages support the reinforcement of correct scientific concepts. The "Evaluate" stage helps facilitate conceptual shifts in students. Based on the literature review, the 5E Learning Cycle model is recommended as an effective pedagogical approach to improving the quality of science concept understanding and reducing misconceptions among elementary school students.

Abstract

Computational Thinking (CT) needs to be integrated into education as essential preparation for facing the Society 5.0 era. These skills are fundamental and relevant not only in computer science but also across various disciplines, including biology. This study aims to examine the simultaneous and partial effects of learning styles and gender on students' CT skills. This is a quantitative, non-experimental study using dummy regression analysis. The research subjects consisted of 128 grade XII science students at SMAN 1 Semarang, with data collected through questionnaires and tests. The results showed that: (1) Learning styles and gender simultaneously had a significant effect on students' CT abilities, with a contribution of 14.1% and an F change significance value of 0.00. (2) Learning styles had no significant effect on CT (significance > 0.05). (3) Gender had a significant effect on CT (significance < 0.05). These findings provide valuable insights for the development of learning strategies that go beyond gender and learning preferences, by also considering other, more dominant factors influencing Computational Thinking skills. Therefore, teachers are expected to be more responsive to differences in learning pace and strategies across genders, and to design inclusive instruction to optimize the full potential of every student.

Abstract

In the era of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, it is essential to develop competitive individuals equipped with Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) competencies. The government, actively promotes the integration of STEM across all educational levels, including secondary schools. This emphasis arises because STEM competencies are critical for the Fourth Industrial Revolution and help individuals address real-world challenges. This literature review explores the implementation of STEM in Indonesia, focusing on the tools and strategies applied in secondary education. Over the past six years (2016–2021), changes in STEM practices have been identified. From 25 articles were analyzed, covering aspects such as instructional materials and pedagogical strategies in secondary schools. The findings reveal the distribution of resources as follows: curriculum score 7.69%, lesson plans 20.51%, modules 15.38%, student worksheets 33.33%, books 10.25%, exam questions 10.25%, and curriculum documents 2.56%. In terms of teaching approaches, the data show 4% engagement in discovery-based learning, 52% in project-based learning, 36% in problem-based learning, and 4% in scientific learning. Overall, the results indicate that STEM competencies are still not widely implemented in Indonesia, as most scores remain at or below 50%. Thus, further efforts are necessary to strengthen STEM integration in the country.

Abstract

Streptomyces sp. SAE4034 is known to produce antioxidant compounds; however, its potential as an antiaging agent has yet to be established. The antiaging effect in vivo can be evaluated through cellular analysis by mitochondrial staining in Saccharomyces cerevisiae cells and by measuring the expression of the sty1 and pap1 genes in yeast cells subjected to oxidative stress. This study investigated the impact of antioxidant extract administration at concentrations of 250, 500, 750, and 1000 μg/mL on the viability of yeast cells exposed to oxidative stress induced by H₂O₂. Treatments were assessed on the 7th and 11th days of incubation, with three replicates per treatment. Cellular-level observations focused on treatments demonstrating the most pronounced antiaging activity, alongside controls. Molecular-level analyses involved evaluating the expression of the pap1 and sty1 genes. The primary parameter measured was yeast colony diameter, supported by mitochondrial staining intensity and gene expression data. Results indicated that the crude extract of Streptomyces sp. SAE4034 exhibits antiaging properties in S. cerevisiae cells. Specifically, the extract at 250 μg/mL effectively maintained yeast cell viability under oxidative stress induced by 3 mM H2O2 on both the 7th and 11th days of incubation. Mitochondrial activity assessments revealed strong fluorescence intensity following treatment with 250 μg/mL of the crude extract. Electrophoresis analysis demonstrated a sixfold reduction in pap1 gene expression in the 250 μg/mL treatment group compared to the negative control. Expression of the sty1 gene, however, was not detected.

Abstract

Learning in the post-pandemic period has been permitted to resume offline. While some institutions continue to implement online learning, others have mandated a full return to offline instruction. This study aims to explore students' perceptions and preferences regarding the application of online learning during the post-pandemic period. The research employed a quantitative descriptive approach. The sample consisted of 72 biology education students from UIN Walisongo Semarang, selected through purposive sampling based on their online learning experiences during the pandemic. Data were collected using a Likert-scale questionnaire developed from the dimensions of perception and preference. The data were analyzed using t-tests and descriptive statistics presented as percentages, supplemented by qualitative descriptions. The results indicate that students' perceptions of online learning are influenced by factors such as internet connectivity, learning environment, and the selection of appropriate techniques and methods. Although students prefer offline learning, they still consider online learning as a viable alternative. Effective coordination among students, lecturers, parents, and institutions is essential to support the implementation of online learning in the post-COVID-19 era.

Abstract

21st century education emphasizes the development of six core skills (6Cs): critical thinking, collaboration, communication, creativity, culture, and connectivity. In biology education, deep understanding and analytical thinking is crucial, yet challenges such as time constraints, a dense curriculum, and insufficient support hinder the integration of critical thinking. This study aims to analyze the presence of critical thinking indicators in grade XI Biology teaching module on cell material across high schools in the Surakarta Residency. A descriptive qualitative method was used in this study. Data were collected from five teaching modules each provided by selected biology teachers from public, private and Muhammadiyah high schools, using documentation and interviews. Result show that the most frequency appearing critical thinking indicator was "providing simple explanations" (64.28%) at Muhammadiyah schools, while the least frequent was "strategies and tactics" (3.57%). These findings offer valuable insights for biology teachers in improving their instructional design to better foster critical thinking.
