Abstract

In higher education, especially in the health sector, a deep understanding of the course material is the key to academic success. In improving the quality of student learning, the use of teaching materials is essential to achieve competency targets. However, each student has a different personality so that their learning style type is different. Based on this, it is necessary to develop more adaptive learning resources that not only include scientific materials, but also pay attention to the different personality types of students. This study aims to explore the importance of using basic biomedical science lecture guidebooks that are tailored to the personality types of students at the Faculty of Health. This research method uses a descriptive survey approach with a purposive sampling technique. A survey was conducted on a number of students to assess the effectiveness and needs of guidebooks designed based on personality types. The survey results showed that most students felt helped by the existence of guides that were in accordance with their learning characteristics, which ultimately improved understanding and academic achievement. It can be concluded that personalized teaching materials according to student personality are useful and needed in the learning process.

Abstract

In the context of classroom-based learning, the majority of students tend to acquire cognitive knowledge. It is essential for students to not only acquire cognitive knowledge but also develop awareness of sustainability as a result of teaching and learning activities. The purpose of this study was to develop an instrument to measure sustainability awareness among high school students. Developing an instrument of sustainability awareness for students is important to measure and encourage their understanding and actions in preserving the environment sustainably. The instrument developed consists of three subdimensions: economy, society, and environment. This instrument assesses awareness of the concept of sustainable development and practices, attitudes, and moral values ​​for sustainability at the individual level. This study used the Rasch modeling analysis technique. The instrument is a closed questionnaire containing 21 items using a 4-point Likert scale. The results of the Rasch modeling showed that the overall Cronbach's alpha reliability coefficient was in the "good" category, while the item reliability coefficient was in the "very good" category. However, the student reliability coefficient was in the "weak" category. The results of the instrument validity test showed four invalid items. These items showed ZSTD and Pt Mean Corr values ​​that did not meet the established criteria. However, the existence of invalid instrument items and weak student reliability coefficients did not affect the overall quality of the instrument. Therefore, it can be concluded that the developed instrument is considered appropriate for measuring the sustainability awareness profile of students.

Abstract

Indonesian people use plants as medicine because they are considered to have fewer side effects. Phanera semibifida (Roxb.) is a climbing plant that has been used by the community to make therapeutic drugs. Phanera semibifida, especially species in western Sumatra, lacks information on phytochemical composition and toxicity capabilities. So the purpose of this study was to determine the phytochemical content, toxicity (BSLT), and biological activity of Phanera semibifida growing in western Sumatra. The BSLT approach was used in this study to conduct phytochemical screening and toxicity studies on leaves and stems. Phytochemical results were negative for alkaloids and steroids but positive for flavonoids, tannins, saponins, and terpenoids. Based on the BSLT experiment, it can be concluded that both ethanol extracts are highly toxic and show anticancer properties
