Full text linkThe students' perception of the implementation of the Reading, Questioning, and Answering (RQA) learning model was still an essential domain to be explored further. Therefore, this study aimed to explore students' perceptions of the implementation of the RQA learning model in Basic Biology lectures. This descriptive research used an exploratory survey method. The respondents who participated were 57 students (30%) enrolled in the Basic Biology course at the Health Administration Study Program, Faculty of Health Sciences, Universitas Sulawesi Barat. The instrument used to collect data was a questionnaire consisting of 30 statements with four answer choices using the Likert scale. The data obtained from the research were analyzed descriptively. The study findings indicated that students' perceptions were at a slightly high level after the implementation of the RQA learning model in Basic Biology lectures
Students' Scientific Literacy and Critical Thinking Skills: A Pre-Post Study on the Implementation of GI-MM
Full text linkUniversity-level learning is currently aimed at encouraging students to master high-level skills such as scientific literacy and critical thinking skills. This study aimed to determine the differences in scientific literacy and critical thinking among students before and after being taught using the Group Investigation-Mind Mapping (GI-MM) model. This quasi-experimental study used a one-group pretest-posttest design. The study population comprised of 55 students enrolled in a biochemistry course. Using the cluster random sampling technique, one class (19 students) was selected as the research sample. The instruments used in this study were multiple-choice written test questions to measure students' scientific literacy, and essay-type written test questions to measure students' critical thinking. Descriptive and inferential analyses were used for data analysis (paired t-test). The results showed that all indicators of students' scientific literacy improved after implementation of the GI-MM model, with an average increase of 40.04%. In addition, the mean pretest and posttest scores for the five indicators of students' critical thinking showed significant improvement after implementation of the GI-MM learning model, with an average increase of 61.43%. The paired t-test results reinforced the finding that there were significant differences in the students' scientific literacy and critical thinking skills before and after being taught using the GI-MM learning model
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Penguatan Literasi Lingkungan bagi Masyarakat di Desa Tondok Bakaru, Kecamatan Mamasa, Kabupaten Mamasa
Full text linkEnvironmental literacy is a cornerstone in fostering community awareness of the importance of preserving nature. Tondok Bakaru Village faces challenges due to limited environmental literacy among its residents. This community service program aimed to enhance environmental literacy through a comprehensive educational initiative. The implementation method consisted of three stages: planning, program execution, and evaluation. The program was conducted from December 2024 to February 2025, involving 29 participants from the Tondok Bakaru Village community. The material covered includes the concept of environmental literacy, its significance, dimensions of environmental literacy, and strategies for developing environmental literacy within the community. Evaluation results demonstrate significant improvements in three aspects of environmental literacy, with average scores of 70 for environmental knowledge, 74 for environmental attitudes, and 80 for environmental behavior. Participant satisfaction questionnaires yielded an average score above 4.83 on a 5-point scale, indicating the program's success in enhancing understanding and motivating the community to adopt environmentally friendly practices
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Transformation of Technology Literacy and Creative Thinking Skills of Prospective Biology Teachers through Interactive Microteaching
Full text linkHigher education institutions play a crucial role in preparing biology teacher candidates to be proficient in technological advancements to meet the challenges of 21st-century learning. This study aimed to determine the differences in technology literacy and creative thinking skills among students before and after being taught using an interactive microteaching model that integrated technology and creativity. This quasi-experimental study used a one-group pretest-posttest design. The study population consisted of all the students enrolled in the microteaching course. Using the cluster random sampling technique, two classes (33 students) were selected as the research sample. The instruments used in this research were observation sheets that were used to measure students' technological literacy and creative thinking skills. Descriptive and inferential analyses were used for data analysis (paired t-test). The results showed that all observed indicators of technology literacy and creative thinking skills demonstrated significant improvements from pretest to post-test. Comparative test results using the paired t-test also confirmed that there were significant differences in the technology literacy variables and creative thinking skills among students before and after the implementation of the interactive microteaching model

Exploration of Ethnobotanical Values in Mandar Community Wedding and Seven-Month Ceremonies for the Development of Biology Learning Resources
No full textThe Mandar tribe of West Sulawesi maintains well-preserved cultural traditions, including the ritualized use of diverse plant species imbued with symbolic values (ussul) and local ecological knowledge. This study aimed to: (1) identify plant species utilized in the wedding and seven-month ceremonies of the Mandar people in Majene Regency; (2) analyze the symbolic significance (ussul) of each plant from the Mandar cultural perspective based on the Relative Frequency of Citation (RFC) index; and (3) develop an ethnobotanical e-catalog using the ADDIE model as a biology learning resource on biodiversity for Grade X senior high school students. A descriptive qualitative approach was employed, with data collected through semi-structured interviews, direct observation, and documentation involving 21 key informants (customary leaders, traditional shamans, and community members) in the Mangge and Kalasa neighborhoods of Totoli Village, Banggae District, Majene Regency, from April to July 2025. Plant identification was conducted using PlantNet, Plants of the World Online (POWO), and Plantamor. Results revealed 21 species from 16 families in the wedding ceremony and 9 species from 8 families in the seven-month ceremony, predominantly herbs and trees. Seven species recorded the highest RFC values (RFC = 1.00): Cocos nucifera, Piper betle, Areca catechu, Curcuma longa, Oryza sativa, Musa sp., and Eragrostis tenella, each bearing distinct ussul reflecting the philosophy of Mandar life. The findings were compiled into an e-catalog developed through the Analysis, Design, and Development stages of the ADDIE model, validated as highly valid (M = 4.62 out of 5.0) by subject-matter and cultural experts, and deemed suitable as a biology learning resource on biodiversity
