(RE)CONCEPTUALIZING LINEAR EQUATIONS: A SNAPSHOT FROM TEACHING AND LEARNING IN INDONESIA
Get PDFThis study aimed to describe the zone of concept image differences in linear equations in one variable and analyze its potential impact on mathematics learning. This research was qualitative and followed a phenomenological approach. Mathematical praxeology was used to analyze the content of the knowledge to be taught (Indonesian curriculum). In contrast, didactic praxeology was used to analyze the teaching methods involved in the taught knowledge (teacher). This study explores information obtained from human and non-human sources. The object of the study was a seventh-grade mathematics textbook used in Indonesian middle schools, which refers to the Merdeka curriculum. The results showed differences in concept image between scholarly knowledge, knowledge to be taught, and knowledge regarding the topic of linear equations in one variable. Teachers failed to understand the information provided in the mathematics textbook that the equal sign in the concept of a linear equation in one variable represents a quantitative equation, meaning the expression on the left side of the equal sign is equal to the expression on the right side of the equal sign. This research presents an alternative praxeological reference model as an implication for the field of education in Indonesia, allowing students to generate new knowledge as justified true belief independently. Policymakers can also utilize the model to design linear equations in one variable materials that are more aligned with students' abilities by providing a structured approach that takes into account the students' prior knowledge and learning pace
GERMINATION, GROWTH AND NUTRITIONAL VALUE OF CORN FODDER APPLIED WITH KUSUM TREE (SCHLEICHERA OLEOSA) LIQUID SMOKE
Get PDFFodder is a high-yielding, space-efficient animal feed that can be harvested in a short period, making it crucial for sustainable livestock nutrition. However, improving both the growth and nutritional content of fodder remains a challenge. This study aimed to investigate the effects of liquid smoke application on the germination, growth, and nutritional quality of corn fodder. A Completely Randomized Design (CRD) was used, consisting of five treatments: seeds soaked in 0% (control, P0), 10% (P1), 20% (P2), 30% (P3), and 40% (P4) liquid smoke concentrations for 1 hour. The results showed that liquid smoke treatment did not significantly influence germination parameters, including Final Germination Percentage (FGP), Mean Germination Time (MGT), and Mean Germination Rate (MGR). However, significant effects were observed on growth indicators such as the number of leaves per sprout and dry weight. Furthermore, liquid smoke notably enhanced the crude protein and crude lipid content of the corn fodder, though it did not alter crude fiber levels.This study presents a novel approach to improving fodder quality using plant-derived smoke compounds, offering a simple, low-cost pre-treatment method for enhancing the nutritional profile of corn fodder. The findings imply that liquid smoke can serve as a natural biostimulant, potentially replacing or supplementing synthetic feed additives. Future research should explore the use of smoke water or direct plant-derived smoke under aerobic conditions to optimize germination and further boost fodder quality. These insights contribute to the development of more efficient and sustainable animal feed strategies

THE INTEGRATIION OF CULTURE LITERACY IN STRENGTHENING THE PROFILE OF PANCASILA STUDENTS IN SCIENCE LEARNING FOR ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS
Get PDFCultural literacy plays a critical role in developing students’ sense of responsibility, tolerance, and national identity. In the context of 21st-century education, it is a key component of the Pancasila Student Profile, which guides character formation in Indonesian schools. While cultural literacy is often linked with language and social studies, this research explores its integration into science learning in elementary schools. The aim is to identify how cultural values, local wisdom, and scientific inquiry are harmonized to support holistic student development through the Independent Curriculum. This qualitative study employed a phenomenological design, focusing on two Sekolah Penggerak (Driving Schools): Elementary School Muhammadiyah 1 Ketelan and Elementary School Muhammadiyah Plus Malangjiwan. Participants included school principals, teachers, and students. Data collection was conducted through observations and in-depth interviews, using structured interview sheets. Data were analyzed through data reduction, presentation, and conclusion drawing, with validity ensured through source triangulation. The results revealed that cultural literacy was embedded in science learning through the contextualization of scientific concepts with local wisdom such as using traditional tools in experiments, exploring environmental stewardship rooted in local customs, and incorporating indigenous knowledge into ecology topics. Activities like science-based cultural exhibitions, traditional games with scientific principles, and the use of regional languages in science discussions strengthened student engagement and cultural identity. This study offers a novel integration of cultural literacy into science education, demonstrating how localized, culturally responsive teaching can enrich scientific understanding while reinforcing national character in line with the Pancasila Student Profile
ASSESSING THE IMPACT OF EU INTEGRATION ON ECONOMIC GROWTH FORECASTS USING ARTIFICIAL NEURAL NETWORK MODELS
Get PDFThis study investigates the interplay of endogenous and exogenous factors influencing GDP growth in Albania and Serbia, two nations at different stages of EU integration. Key variables examined include consumption, education, exports, foreign direct investment (FDI), imports, savings (all relative to GDP), and urbanization rates, with a focus on the impact of high-technology exports. To analyze the World Bank dataset from 1993 to 2023 at a 95% confidence level, this study employs an Artificial Neural Network-Multilayer Perceptron Model (ANN-MLP), designated as H (1;1). The dataset is systematically divided into two subsets: the first subset comprises 70% of the observations, while the second subset contains the remaining 30%. The initial subset is utilized to optimize forecasting accuracy, allowing the model to adjust its parameters accordingly. Once the parameters have been optimized, they are applied to the second subset to assess the model's performance. This procedure yields a forecast error of less than 0.3%, demonstrating the model's efficacy. The novelty of this study lies in forecasting GDP growth in Albania and Serbia using ANN-MLP models, with a particular focus on the role of high-technology exports. It emphasizes the distinct importance of exports in Albania versus consumption and FDI in Serbia, offering nuanced insights into country-specific growth mechanisms. This tailored, context-sensitive approach provides valuable implications for policymakers aiming for EU integration, filling a gap in existing literature by explicitly contrasting the economic drivers in these neighboring, yet economically distinct, national contexts
INTEGRATING CRITICAL THINKING SKILLS IN SECONDARY CHEMISTRY TEACHING: A SYSTEMATIC LITERATURE REVIEW
Get PDFCritical thinking (CT) is the core of the chemical education curriculum, yet it is generally in an inconsequential understanding and practice with second-level teachers. The research is a review of the previous studies of the integration of CT in teaching secondary chemistry. The research aims to find out how CT is conceptualised, taught and assessed by chemistry teachers and its consistency behind these practices. The systematic review was performed through the PRISMA 2020 guidelines. In total, 23 empirical studies of the period 2021-2025 were identified through using Scopus, Web of Science, ERIC and ScienceDirect. Important findings were extracted by thematic analysis. The Majority of teachers have an infusion style, which inserts CT into chemistry lessons based on inquiry, project-based learning, and socioscientific issues. The CT training and corresponding evaluation is scarce. Feedback and scaffolding are applied irregularly, though they are good. The beliefs of the teachers regarding the importance of CT, as well as its reality in the classroom, have a very distinct gap. Practices of assessment usually fail to respond to CT objectives. Future studies are required to come up with chemistry-specific models of CT and assessment instruments. Effective integration should be backed by professional development
NAVIGATING CHALLENGES: A SURVEY OF NON-SCIENCE STUDENTS’ EXPECTATIONS IN BASIC PHYSICS CLASSROOM
Get PDFThis study investigated the expectations and challenges of 18 non-science track students regarding introductory physics courses at the upper secondary level in Thai schools. We employed a survey research design using a validated questionnaire to gather descriptive data. A panel of three experts validated the questionnaire. Data analysis was performed using descriptive statistics. The main findings revealed that most students (72.22%) found physics “enjoyable but sometimes not understanding,” and mathematical calculations were the most significant challenge (66.67%). Students highly preferred learning support in the form of clear explanations (M=4.11, SD=0.96) and step-by-step problem-solving (M=4.06, SD=0.87). This research is unique in its focused examination of physics learning expectations among non-science track students within the Thai educational context, an area that has been understudied. The findings contribute to the field by providing specific insights into the challenges and support needs of this distinct student population. The results suggest that physics instruction for non-science students should incorporate differentiated teaching strategies, focusing on clear, step-by-step problem-solving and real-world applications to enhance conceptual understanding and engagement. This study’s findings can serve as a valuable guideline for designing future physics curricula and professional development programs for teachers of non-science track students
