Abstract

Student motivation in biology classes is often assumed to be consistently high, even though this ideal condition has not yet been fully achieved, particularly in schools in island regions with limited resources and support for independent study at home, as is the case at SMA Negeri 1 Lahewa in North Nias Regency. This study aims to analyze the levels of learning motivation among 10th and 11th-grade students in Biology classes at that school, examined from the dimensions of internal and external motivation. The study employed a quantitative descriptive design involving 66 students selected through purposive sampling from a population of 586 students. Data were collected via a Guttman-scaled questionnaire containing 20 statements, distributed online through Google Forms. The data were analyzed descriptively by categorizing respondents’ total scores into five levels of motivation. The results indicate that students’ learning motivation generally falls into the high category, with very high scores in perseverance, discipline, and the desire to achieve, but still low scores in the habit of independent learning at home and the initiative to seek additional learning resources. These findings indicate that students’ motivation is supported more by school structure and supervision than by internalized independent learning; therefore, strengthening independent learning at home is a key priority for the development of future biology learning strategies.

Abstract

The low level of active student engagement in biology learning and suboptimal learning outcomes are issues that need to be examined empirically. This study aims to describe the level of learning motivation and perceptions of biology learning outcomes, as well as to identify indicators of weaknesses among 11th-grade students at Idanogawo State High School 1. The study employed a descriptive quantitative approach using a 14-item Yes/No questionnaire distributed via Google Forms to 23 valid respondents in May 2026. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, including the mean, median, mode, standard deviation, and the percentage of responses per item. The results showed that the average learning motivation score was 5.48 out of a maximum of 6 (91.3%), while the average learning achievement score was 6.78 out of a maximum of 8 (84.8%). A total of 52.2% of students fell into the moderate category and 21.7% into the high category. The strongest motivational factors were found in the awareness of the importance of biology and the earnestness in completing assignments (100%), while the greatest weaknesses were found in independent learning outside of class hours (69.6%) and the willingness to ask questions when unsure (43.5%). Descriptively, there was a consistent pattern between motivation scores and perceptions of learning outcomes, confirming that learning motivation is positively correlated with students’ biology learning outcomes.

Abstract

Misconceptions are understandings that do not align with scientific concepts and can hinder the learning process, particularly among prospective elementary school teachers who will be teaching science concepts to students. This study aims to identify and analyze misconceptions among PGSD students regarding the diversity of biomes and ecosystems. The study employed a quantitative descriptive method using a survey technique involving the distribution of a questionnaire assisted by the Certainty of Response Index (CRI) to 38 second-semester PGSD students at the University of Nias. Data were analyzed descriptively based on the percentage of student responses to each statement. The results indicate that significant misconceptions persist regarding several concepts, including the relationship between ecosystem diversity and genetic and species diversity (84.2%), the concept of biomes and their components (78.9%), the impact of deforestation on ecosystems (73.7%), the characteristics of the tundra biome (55.3%), and the effects of poaching and water pollution on ecosystem balance (52.6%). Further analysis indicates that the misconceptions identified can be categorized into substitution misconceptions, failure to transfer knowledge across concepts, and erroneous ecological beliefs based on everyday experience. These findings suggest that PGSD students still face difficulties in understanding and connecting ecological concepts.

Abstract

This study objectives to theoretically analyze the morpho-physiological responses of mustard greens (Brassica juncea L.) to micro-environmental engineering and to formulate an efficient agronomic strategy based on a compilation of prior research data. The method used was a literature review by synthesizing secondary data from various scientific journals related to edaphic porosity manipulation and organic Nitrogen nutrient optimization. The results of the review show that edaphic engineering using porous materials such as husk biochar is consistently proven to enhance oxygen circulation in the rhizosphere, which increases the efficiency of active transport nitrate ion absorption. Optimal Nitrogen accumulation accelerates cell division in leaf mesophyll and increases chlorophyll concentration, thereby boosting carbon assimilation rates during the rapid vegetative phase (30–40 days). The implication of this study is the availability of a sustainable conceptual model for leafy vegetable horticulture cultivation using local organic materials. Based on the literature synthesis, stable micro-environmental manipulation is proven crucial to maintaining high turgor in amfistomatic guard cells, producing wide, fresh, and crispy leaves.

Abstract

Food preservation is an essential technology in the food industry aimed at maintaining product quality, ensuring food safety, and extending shelf life. Various preservation methods have been developed, ranging from conventional techniques such as refrigeration, freezing, drying, and fermentation to modern technologies including vacuum packaging, Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP), edible coatings, and non-thermal processing. This article aims to review different food preservation methods and analyze their effects on food quality and shelf life based on published scientific studies. The research employed a literature review method by collecting and analyzing relevant national and international journal articles on food preservation technologies. The findings indicate that each preservation method operates through different mechanisms to inhibit microbial growth, enzymatic activity, and chemical reactions responsible for food deterioration. Refrigeration and freezing effectively slow biological spoilage, while drying reduces moisture content and limits microbial growth. Fermentation enhances product stability and may improve functional properties. Furthermore, modern preservation technologies, such as MAP, edible coatings, and non-thermal methods, have demonstrated greater effectiveness in maintaining nutritional value, color, texture, and sensory characteristics of food products. Combining multiple preservation techniques often provides superior results in extending shelf life without significantly compromising product quality. Therefore, selecting appropriate preservation methods is crucial for maintaining food quality, ensuring safety, and minimizing postharvest losses during storage and distribution.
