EFEKTIVITAS LITERASI SAINS PADA PEMBELAJARAN BIOLOGI
The development of science and technology in the 21st century requires biology learning to not only focus on mastering concepts, but also on strengthening students' scientific literacy. Scientific literacy includes critical and analytical thinking skills, as well as the ability to evaluate and apply scientific information in real life. However, survey results such as PISA show that Indonesian students' scientific literacy is still relatively low, which is thought to be caused by a learning approach that is less contextual and minimally encourages active student involvement. One approach that is believed to be able to develop scientific literacy is the inquiry learning model. This study uses a meta-analysis method on eight SINTA-indexed scientific articles that examine the effectiveness of the inquiry learning model on students' critical thinking skills. The analysis was carried out by calculating the effect size value using the Cohen's d formula. The results show an average effect size value of -2.40, which statistically indicates a negative effect. However, there are extreme values ​​that significantly affect the aggregate results.

This research is based on the shift from face-to-face to online learning due to technological developments and the pandemic, which has encouraged the adoption of new learning methods. This study employed a quantitative, pseudo-experimental research method. The sample consisted of students in a tenth-grade science class at one of the state high schools. The students were divided into two groups: an experimental group that received online instruction and a control group that received face-to-face instruction. The instrument used was a validated, multiple-choice learning outcome test. Data analysis revealed a significant difference in learning outcomes between students who received online instruction and those who received face-to-face instruction. The average learning outcomes of students in the online group were sufficient, though lower than those in the face-to-face group. These results indicate that online learning is still limited in its effectiveness, particularly for materials requiring conceptual understanding, such as biodiversity. Therefore, it is necessary to develop online learning strategies that are more interactive and encourage active student involvement.

PERBEDAAN STRUKTUR ANATOMI DAUN SAWI LANGIT (VERNONIA CINEREA L.) DAN BANDOTAN (AGERATUM CONYZOIDES L.)
Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui perbedaan struktur anatomi daun antara sawi langit (Vernonia cinerea L.) dan bandotan (Ageratum conyzoides L.) yang berasal dari famili Asteraceae dan tumbuh di lingkungan berbeda. Penelitian dilakukan secara deskriptif kualitatif melalui pengamatan mikroskopis terhadap preparat daun dengan metode irisan melintang dan membujur. Hasil pengamatan menunjukkan bahwa sawi langit memiliki struktur epidermis yang lebih tebal, kutikula yang kuat, serta stomata bertipe anisositik yang tersebar di kedua permukaan daun (amfistomatik). Ciri ini menunjukkan kemampuan adaptasi terhadap lingkungan panas dan kering. Sebaliknya, bandotan memiliki epidermis dan kutikula yang lebih tipis, serta stomata bertipe anomositik yang hanya terdapat di permukaan bawah daun (hipostomatik), mencerminkan adaptasi terhadap lingkungan yang lembap dan teduh. Selain struktur mikroskopis, perbedaan morfologi makroskopis seperti bentuk, tepi daun, dan keberadaan trikomata juga mencerminkan adaptasi terhadap kondisi mikroklimat masing-masing. Temuan ini menunjukkan bahwa meskipun kedua spesies berada dalam famili yang sama, mereka memiliki strategi adaptasi morfo-anatomis yang berbeda untuk mempertahankan efisiensi fisiologis di habitatnya. Hasil penelitian ini juga mendukung pentingnya studi anatomi tumbuhan dalam konteks ekologi dan taksonomi.
