Abstract

This study aims to determine the effect of the Teams Games Tournament (TGT) cooperative learning model assisted by the Snakes and Ladders game on students' learning outcomes regarding the human circulatory system at SMA Negeri 1 Delitua. The research employed a quasi-experimental method using a Non-equivalent Control Group Design involving 71 eleventh-grade students divided into an experimental group (TGT with Snakes and Ladders) and a control group (direct instruction). Learning outcomes were measured using pre-test and post-test instruments and analyzed through ANCOVA. The results showed that the TGT model assisted by the Snakes and Ladders game had a statistically significant positive effect on students’ learning outcomes compared to direct instruction, with higher post-test scores and a large effect size (η² = 0.146). The experimental group also demonstrated greater learning gains and a more uniform distribution of student performance, indicating that lower-performing students benefited from the collaborative and game-based activities. In conclusion, integrating traditional game-based media into the TGT learning model is an effective and innovative strategy for improving biology learning outcomes, particularly in complex topics such as the human circulatory system.

Abstract

The growing interest in the development of phytopharmaceuticals derived from traditional medicinal plants has driven in-depth exploration of Piper aduncum L., a species with diverse therapeutic potential that has not yet been systematically consolidated. This systematic review aims to identify, analyze, and synthesize recent scientific evidence regarding the phytochemical constituents, pharmacological activities, and pharmaceutical development prospects of P. aduncum based on publications from 2021 to 2025. The study adopted the PRISMA 2020 framework, conducting a comprehensive search across five electronic databases using a combination of keywords related to the phytochemistry and pharmacology of P. aduncum. Literature selection was performed through three stages, resulting in six articles that met the inclusion criteria, consisting of two in vivo studies, three laboratory experimental studies, and one systematic review. Methodological quality assessment was conducted using the Modified Downs and Black Checklist and the SYRCLE’s Risk of Bias Tool, followed by systematic data extraction and qualitative narrative synthesis. The findings indicate that dillapiole is the predominant component of the essential oil, with concentrations ranging from 77.6–85.5%, exhibiting antiparasitic, acaricidal, antimycobacterial, immunomodulatory, and anti-inflammatory activities through mechanisms involving modulation of detoxification enzymes and intestinal microbiota. The development of nanocarrier systems has produced stable nanometric formulations with an excellent safety profile for topical applications. This review confirms the significant potential of P. aduncum as a candidate for the development of biopesticides, alternative antimicrobial agents, and phytogenic feed additives. However, further translational research is required, including extraction standardization, investigation of molecular mechanisms, pharmacokinetic–pharmacodynamic studies, long-term toxicological evaluation, and clinical trials to validate efficacy and safety prior to therapeutic application in humans.

Abstract

Creative thinking is an essential competency in 21st-century education, particularly in biology learning, where many problems require open-ended exploration and multiple perspectives. This study aims to analyze students’ creative thinking in responding to open-ended biology tasks and to examine the relationship between learning motivation and the quality of their creative responses. A mixed-method approach with a descriptive design was employed, involving 252 Grade 11 students from two public senior high schools in Pekanbaru. Data were collected using a 12-item open-ended creative thinking test based on four indicators (fluency, flexibility, risk-taking, and elaboration) and a learning motivation questionnaire based on the ARCS model. Quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and Pearson correlation, while qualitative analysis was conducted to examine patterns of students’ responses. The results indicate that students demonstrate relatively strong performance in fluency and flexibility, suggesting their ability to generate ideas and consider multiple perspectives. However, their performance in risk-taking is relatively low, indicating limited willingness to propose unconventional ideas. The elaboration of responses also varies among students. Furthermore, the correlation analysis shows no significant relationship between learning motivation and creative thinking (r = 0.034, p = 0.591), suggesting that motivation does not directly predict the quality of creative responses. Therefore, it can be concluded that fostering creative thinking requires not only enhancing students’ motivation but also providing learning environments that support idea exploration, intellectual risk-taking, and deeper reasoning through open-ended tasks.

Abstract

Diabetes mellitus remains a major global health challenge, encouraging the exploration of natural products as alternative therapeutics. Stelechocarpus burahol (kepel), an ethnobotanically significant Indonesian fruit traditionally consumed for its health benefits, represents a promising source of bioactive compounds. This study aimed to integrate ethnobotanical knowledge with molecular insights by identifying potential antidiabetic compounds using an in silico approach. A total of 66 phytochemical compounds were screened through drug-likeness, ADMET, and biological activity prediction, followed by molecular docking against Dipeptidyl Peptidase-4 (DPP-4) (PDB ID: 6B1E). The docking protocol was validated (RMSD 1.697 Å). Several phenolic compounds showed strong binding affinity, particularly gallocatechol (−8.4 kcal/mol), catechin (−8.2 kcal/mol), and 6-hydroxyluteolin (−8.1 kcal/mol), outperforming the native ligand. These findings highlight the potential of S. burahol as a natural source of DPP-4 inhibitors.

Abstract

Dendrobium capra, an endangered epiphytic species, depends on complex ecological interactions within teak forests. Birds play multifaceted roles: as potential pollinators through ornithogamy, pest control agents maintaining host tree health, seed dispersers for host trees, and habitat quality indicators. Conservation efforts for Dendrobium capra must prioritize bird community preservation to ensure ecological functions supporting this endemic Javanese orchid's life cycle. This study, conducted January–March 2026 using field surveys with point count technique at purposively selected observation points, documented bird and Dendrobium capra presence in natural habitat. Observations recorded 363 individual birds comprising 49 species, 36 genera, 21 families, and 11 orders. The dominant species was Passer montanus; Cisticolidae had the most species; Passeriformes was most abundant. The Shannon-Wiener diversity index of 3.52 indicates high diversity; Simpson dominance index of 0.038 indicates no dominant species (even individual distribution among species, showing ecological balance); Pielou evenness index of 0.905 indicates very even distribution across species. This ecologically reflects a stable habitat supporting diverse species evenly. These results indicate good habitat quality, important to preserve as conservation habitat for birds and Dendrobium capra. A diverse, stable bird population benefits Dendrobium capra by indicating a functioning habitat, maintaining ecosystem stability, and supporting ecological conditions required by this epiphytic orchid. Future research will compare bird populations across seasons to understand temporal dynamics of these ecological interactions.

Abstract

Endophytic fungi are known to produce secondary metabolites with potential applications in the field of health, including flavonoids, terpenoids, tannins, and eugenol. The use of eugenol from clove (Syzygium aromaticum) plants has been widely studied to optimize its benefits. This study aims to evaluate the production of eugenol by endophytic fungi isolated from clove organs collected from Tongole and Marikurubu. The isolated endophytic fungi were identified as follows: Rhizoctonia sp., Diplococcium sp., Geotrichum candidum, Eupenicillium javanicum, Penicillium frequentans, and Aspergillus nidulans. Eugenol content was analyzed using gas chromatography (GC). The results showed that eugenol production varied significantly among isolates, with Geotrichum candidum from Marikurubu (0.44111 μg/mL) and Aspergillus nidulans from Tongole (0.37972 μg/mL) exhibiting the highest concentrations. In contrast, other isolates showed relatively low production levels. These findings suggest that eugenol biosynthesis is strongly influenced by fungal species rather than organ origin or sampling location. This study highlights the potential of selected endophytic fungi as an alternative source of eugenol.

Abstract

The Merdeka Curriculum, with its core principle of “Merdeka Belajar”, empowers teachers to design and implement innovative teaching methods, including differentiated instruction and social-emotional learning. Teachers’ instructional competencies play a significant role in the successful implementation of the curriculum. This study aims to analyze the pedagogical competencies of high school biology teachers in Aceh Province in implementing Differentiated Instruction (DI) and Social-Emotional Learning (SEL), to compare the competencies and perceptions between Transformational Teachers (TTs) and Non- Transformational Teachers (NTTs), and to examine the relationship between the two. The research sample consisted of 286 teachers, comprising NTTs (n = 223) and TTs (n = 63) from a total population of 1,603 high school biology teachers in Aceh Province. The research instrument utilized a questionnaire on the implementation of DI and SEL. The results indicate that most biology teachers in Aceh Province, both TTs and NTTs, possess pedagogical competencies in the Good to Very Good categories regarding the implementation of DI and SEL. A comparative analysis also revealed significant differences in competencies, with TTs demonstrating superior performance in applying DI and SEL than NTTs. The Spearman correlation test showed a very strong, significant positive relationship between the implementation of DIL and SEL (r = 0.837, p < 0.001). This indicates that the higher a teacher's competence in applying differentiation principles, the greater their ability to manage students’ social-emotional needs. It is hoped that this will provide recommendations for education policymakers in Aceh in designing more targeted training strategies to reduce competency gaps among teachers in the field.This study provides a mapping of Biology teachers’ competencies in Aceh regarding the implementation of DI and SEL, serving as an empirical foundation for evaluating the effectiveness of teacher professional development programs.

Abstract

Silver nanoparticles have recently become one of the nanomaterials that are widely developed as antibacterial agents because they have a broad spectrum of activity against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. This study aimed to synthesize silver nanoparticle using ecoenzyme solution as a reducing agent and to characterize its characters. This study was conducted in two main stages, i.e. biosynthesis which was carried out by reacting ecoenzyme solution with silver nitrate solution, and the next stage was the characterization of silver nanoparticle, including morphological analysis using spectrophotometer, scanning electron microscope (SEM), and particle size analyzer (PSA) as well as analysis of antibacterial activity. The results showed that silver nanoparticles were successfully synthesized. Morphological analysis using SEM showed that silver nanoparticles were cubic, rectangular, or spherical, while the size analysis was around at 83.64 nm, although visually, there were no visible color change to dark brown and no peak at a wavelength of 400-600 nm. Antibacterial activity analysis showed that ecoenzyme-derived silver nanoparticles had the ability to inhibit both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, and specifically had better antibacterial properties for gram-positive bacteria compared to the control. These results indicated that silver nanoparticle using ecoenzyme as bioreductor has the potential to be used as antibacterial agents for multidrug-resistant bacterial infections.

Abstract

Data literacy is a critical competency in 21st-century STEM-based biology education, enabling students to analyze, interpret, and use data for evidence-based decision-making. However, research on this topic remains fragmented and lacks comprehensive synthesis. This study aimed to examine research trends, distribution patterns, and future directions of data literacy in STEM-based biology education. A Systematic Literature Review (SLR) following the PRISMA 2020 framework was conducted using 52 empirical articles indexed in Scopus from 2015 to 2026. The data were analyzed through thematic and bibliometric approaches using VOSviewer and Biblioshiny (Bibliometrix-R). The results showed a substantial increase in publications between 2022 and 2025. Nevertheless, research distribution remains uneven, characterized by the dominance of developed countries, limited international collaboration, and dispersed contributions across authors, institutions, and journals. Bibliometric findings identified data literacy as the central research theme, closely associated with STEM education and increasingly connected to data science. Thematic evolution revealed a shift from foundational conceptual discussions toward technology-oriented and data-driven approaches. These findings highlight the growing importance of data literacy in biology education and emphasize the need for integrated theoretical frameworks, interdisciplinary collaboration, and the adoption of innovative technologies to support future educational practices and research.
