This research aimed to find out the reasoning level profile of students by using Ranking Task Exercise questions in the physics learning material for Work and Energy for class X MIPA at SMAN 24 Bone. The dependent variable in this study is the level of students' reasoning with this type of quantitative descriptive research. The subjects of this study were students of class X MIPA SMAN 24 Bone, totaling 49 people. The research instrument used was a question in a Ranking Task Exercise of ten numbers. Based on the research results, students' most common level of reasoning is the second level of reasoning category, namely subfunctional as many as 24 people with a percentage of 49%. The cause of the reasoning level of most students in the subfunctional category is that students still feel unfamiliar with questions in the form of the Ranking Task Exercise, so they have difficulty answering questions. In addition, the distance between giving material and giving questions is far enough that students have forgotten the concept of Work and Energy material. From this study, it can be concluded that the level of reasoning of students is still low. The order of the students' reasoning starts from the most to the least, namely sub-functional, unstructured/alternative, near functional, functional, and expert. This research implies that after the results of this research are obtained, it can be said that by knowing the level profile of students' reasoning in learning physics, it is expected to be an evaluation material for educators to apply an approach that can train students' scientific reasoning in learning physics.

Textbooks will not be separated from the applied curriculum. There are four aspects analyzed in the pedagogical content analysis of the textbook research: the accuracy of concepts, the accuracy of curriculum objectives, the readability of texts, and the visual representation. This study aimed to compare the pedagogical content of biology textbooks on structures and functions of animal tissues from different curricula (the 2006 Education Unit Level Curriculum, the 2013 Curriculum, and the 2016 Revised Edition of the 2013 Curriculum) for class XI. This research employed a descriptive qualitative method and a content analysis technique. The research sample was the biology textbooks for class XI compiled by Sri Pujiyanto and published by Platinum. The research instrument was a content analysis protocol by codification (data coding). The results showed that the accuracy aspects in the sample books with the 2006 Education Unit Level Curriculum, the 2013 Curriculum, and the 2016 Revised Edition of the 2013 Curriculum were more dominant and categorized as adequate. The books with the 2013 Curriculum and the 2016 Revised Edition had better accuracy than those with the 2006 Education Unit Level Curriculum book. The text readability aspect of the three sample books was not suitable for class XI students. The books with the 2013 Curriculum and the 2016 Revised Edition of 2013 Curriculum had better visual representation than the book with the Education Unit Level Curriculum. The three sample books showed that the relationship with the material content was more dominant in the meaningful category, the relationship with reality was more dominant in the real category, and the visual representation function was more dominant in the explanatory category.

Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs) provide many benefits and promote public debate regarding their safety and risks. Currently, there is a lack of research that specifically focuses on biology teacher candidates’ knowledge and attitude towards GMOs. This study aimed to explore the knowledge and attitude of biology teacher candidate students towards GMOs. The data was collected through an online questionnaire distributed. The data scores of knowledge and attitude were analyzed using an independent sample t-test to analyze the effect of the genetic course on the knowledge and attitude of biology teacher candidate students towards GMOs. A Pearson correlation was used to determine the correlation between teacher candidates' knowledge and attitudes towards GMOs. As a result, genetic courses do not significantly affect the knowledge or attitude of biology teacher candidate students towards GMOs. There was a positive correlation between knowledge and attitude of biology teacher candidate students towards GMOs.
