Abstract

Polyurethane membranes derived from renewable resources are increasingly being explored for applications in water treatment, particularly for ammonia adsorption. This study focuses on the development of a seaweed-based polyurethane membrane, synthesized from Gracilaria verrucosa biomass, and modified with palm kernel shell-derived activated carbon (RlgPU5/AC). The membranes were characterized for their mechanical, structural, and thermal properties using techniques such as FTIR, SEM, TGA, and tensile testing. Results showed that the incorporation of activated carbon significantly improved the tensile strength (from 17.65 MPa to 19.94 MPa) and elongation (from 34.9% to 74.2%), while also enhancing the swelling degree and porosity of the membrane. Adsorption experiments revealed that the RlgPU5/AC membrane demonstrated optimal ammonia removal at pH 8, achieving a maximum adsorption capacity of 0.409 mg/g. The adsorption process was governed by the Langmuir isotherm and pseudo-first-order kinetics. Regeneration experiments confirmed that the membrane could be reused with a 69.6% regeneration efficiency using 3 N HCl solution, demonstrating its potential as an effective and sustainable material for ammonia removal in wastewater treatment

Abstract

Chemistry learning often presents challenges in the form of misconceptions, particularly concerning buffer solutions. This material is abstract as it involves the concepts of chemical equilibrium and acid-base properties. This study aims to provide information on using diagnostic tests with the interview-about-event method to explore students' mental models. The research employed a descriptive qualitative method with nine 12th-grade students from a high school in Makassar City. Data was collected through in-depth interviews that asked students to explain given phenomena, utilizing research instruments in the form of a four-tier diagnostic test and semi-structured interviews. The answers of each student were mapped to obtain a profile of their mental models. The results indicated that students' mental models revealed diversity in their responses, especially at the submicroscopic level. Their mental models tended to be simple, incomplete, and macroscopic, characterized by misconceptions such as considering equilibrium shifts to be separate from the direct reactions of buffer components, misunderstandings in using arrows for partial and complete ionization, incorrect definitions of acids, and misconceptions about buffer solutions neutralizing pH or causing pH changes. The diversity and consistency of these misconceptions underscore the importance of a pedagogical approach focused on deep conceptual understanding and the integration of multiple levels of chemical representation.

Abstract

The low conceptual understanding of physics education students, often caused by conventional teaching materials and a lack of self-study guidance, indicates the need for innovation. This research aims to develop a web-based student worksheet (web-LKPD) integrated with the STEM approach and supplemented with scaffolding. The developed web-LKPD is designed to improve the conceptual understanding of physics education students. The method used is research & development with the ADDIE development model (analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation). The subjects of this study were physics education students at the Faculty of Teacher Training and Education, Jambi University. The instruments included questionnaires, interviews, conceptual understanding tests (pretest and posttest), and student response questionnaires. The data were analyzed using quantitative and qualitative descriptive techniques. The results showed that the developed web-LKPD was highly suitable for use, evidenced by the average feasibility percentage from media experts of 93% and material experts of 83.2% (very good). The product also received a positive response from students (89.7%, very good). Paired t-test analysis concluded that there was a significant difference between the pretest and posttest results, indicating that the web-LKPD has a significant impact on improving students' conceptual understanding.

Abstract

The demands of 21st-century education emphasize the importance of social emotional skills (SES) and learning outcomes as essential provisions for students to face global challenges. This study aims to analyze the effect of implementing the problem-based learning (PBL) model on students’ social-emotional skills and learning outcomes in the topic of viruses, as well as to examine the relationship between these two variables. The research employed a quasi-experimental approach with a pre-test–post-test non-equivalent control group design. SES data were collected using a questionnaire developed based on the collaborative for academic, social, and emotional learning (CASEL) competencies, while learning outcomes were obtained through pre-test and post-test assessments. Data analysis was carried out using an independent sample t-test and Pearson correlation at a 0.05 significance level. The findings reveal that the SES of students in the experimental class were higher than those in the control class after the implementation of PBL. Students’ learning outcomes also improved significantly, as indicated by higher post-test scores and N-gain in the experimental class compared to the control class. Furthermore, although the correlation between SES and learning outcomes was weak, the results still indicate a positive relationship, suggesting that improvements in students’ SES are accompanied by increases in their academic performance. These findings conclude that the implementation of the PBL model remains effective in enhancing both SES and learning outcomes, and is highly relevant to the demands of 21st-century learning.

Abstract

The post-pandemic transition to contextual and digital learning that is underway as part of the Indonesian merdeka  curriculum has created an urgent demand for culturally situated, technology-infused science education. The present study presents a culturally responsive digital pedagogy (CRDP) model, where ethnomycology was incorporated into senior-high-school biology instruction as an approach to enhance scientific literacy and support conservation consciousness. An exploratory sequential mixed-methods design was employed, through in-depth qualitative interviews together with survey-based quantitative data collection with fifteen biology teachers at urban and rural schools across Banten Province. Six types of pedagogical and technological readiness were considered: curriculum fit, instruction strategies, learning medium, instructional materials, ecology fit, and digital assessment tools. Findings showed that teachers had high intentions to integrate ethnomycology into the merdeka curriculum (M = 4.9) and considered digital resources relevant, although availability of contextualized materials and community engagement was limited (M = 4.7). Rural schools indicated greater exposure to local biodiversity, and urban schools were more digitally prepared. The results highlight the importance of providing culturally situated digital modules and instruction to teachers that is tied to biological concepts and local ecological knowledge

Abstract

Digital literacy is an essential competency for pre-service teachers in addressing the challenges of 21st-century learning, particularly in integrating technology with the science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) combined with problem based learning (STEM-PBL) approach. This study aims to map the digital literacy skills of pre-service biology teachers as a foundation for designing interactive learning media in the form of STEM-PBL-based liveworksheets. The research employed a descriptive quantitative approach involving students from a biology education program at an Indonesian university. The instrument used was a digital literacy questionnaire consisting of four main indicators: internet searching, hypertextual navigation, content evaluation, and knowledge assembly. The findings indicate that the participants’ digital literacy skills fall within the moderate to high categories, with varying results across indicators. The highest score was obtained in internet searching at 77% (high), followed by content evaluation at 71% (high). Meanwhile, hypertextual navigation reached only 56% (moderate), and knowledge assembly recorded the lowest score at 51% (moderate). These results suggest that while students are relatively proficient in accessing digital information, they still face challenges in navigating hypertext links and synthesizing diverse sources into new knowledge products. This mapping provides an empirical foundation for designing STEM-PBL-integrated liveworksheets that are adaptive to students’ needs. The implications highlight the necessity of strengthening hypertext navigation and knowledge assembly skills to enable pre-service biology teachers to fully leverage digital technologies in science education

Abstract

The need for learning media is contextual, innovative, and relevant to environmental issues, as well as developments in educational technology, are essential in organic chemistry education. Organic chemistry material, which is often considered abstract, needs to be presented in an engaging manner through the integration of STEM-based content, enriched with discussions on current socio-scientific issues (SSI) in the form of an interactive website. This study aimed to develop an interactive website based on the STEM-SSI approach for organic chemistry materials to enhance students' critical thinking skills and scientific literacy. The research method employs the ADDIE model (analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation). The research subjects were 35 students divided into experimental (n =18) and control (n = 17) groups. Data were collected using feasibility and practicality questionnaires, and critical thinking and scientific literacy tests. The results show that the developed STEM-SSI website is valid and practical to use, with validity and practicality scores greater than 4.25 (4.67 and 4.78). This study also demonstrates that websites are effective in improving students' critical thinking skills and scientific literacy, with n-gain scores categorized as high (N-gain = 0.73 and 0.77).

Abstract

Stress in studying is a common experience among undergraduate students, especially in courses that require intensive understanding such as basic biology. This study aims to identify factors that influence students' perceptions of stress. This study used a modified version of the academic stress scale developed by Bedewey and Gabriel (2015) with an internal consistency reliability of 0.7 (Cronbach's alpha). We added several statements to make them relevant to students' conditions and several open-ended questions to strengthen the data. The survey was distributed to three universities in the Papuan region with a total of 60 respondents. Participants were second- and fourth-semester students enrolled in basic biology courses. Descriptive statistics were used to analyze the students' experiences. The results showed that half of the students experienced academic stress primarily due to anxiety about course grades. Other major stress factors include feeling overwhelmed by the workload, difficulties with self-management, and limited knowledge about the learning strategies they should use. Non-academic stressors included personal and economic problems, as well as issues related to the personality of their lecturers. Students' perceptions of learning stress were in the moderate category. These findings suggest that excessive workload and poor self-management increase academic stress and may contribute to cognitive overload. Therefore, teaching strategies that consider student workload and develop self-regulation in students have the potential to reduce learning stress and improve academic well-being in biology courses
