Environmental literacy is an attitude and behavior that must be possessed by a student in protecting the environment. Therefore, it is necessary to carry out a plan and action to empower environmental literacy through education. This study aimed to determine the effect of the problem-based learning with environmental-based comic (PBLEC) model in empowering students' environmental literacy in Indonesia. This type of research was a quasi-experimental posttest-pretest non-equivalent control group design<em> </em>study involving 97 students at the University of Muhammadiyah Makassar, South Sulawesi, Indonesia. Students' environmental literacy data was obtained by using an exam technique using an essay test instrument sheet, then the results were analyzed using descriptive statistics and one-way inferential analysis of covariance (ANCOVA). The results of statistical analysis showed that the PBLEC model has an effect on students' environmental literacy. The average score achieved by students in the class group using PBLEC is higher than students who are taught by the problem-based learning (PBL) learning process and conventional learning. Therefore, the use of the PBLEC model can be used in the learning process as an effort to grow and improve student environmental literacy.

Metacognition skills are critical in regulating and supporting student learning, and metacognition is one of the key factors contributing to the success of student learning. Therefore, it is crucial to develop students' metacognition skills throughout the learning process. The purpose of this research is to identify the effectiveness of the LMS (Schoology) assisted flipped classroom learning model in improving students' metacognition skills. This study used a quasi-experimental design consisting of a control group and an experimental group of grade 10 high school students, with each group consisting of 30 students. The experimental group was taught using a flipped classroom model with the help of the LMS, while the control group was taught using a teacher-centered approach. Data collection involved administering a questionnaire on metacognition skills, and data was analyzed using descriptive analysis techniques and independent sample t-test. The results of the analysis showed that the post-questionnaire score in the control group was 53.55% and in the experimental group was 77.58%, demonstrating that the LMS-assisted flipped classroom model contributes to improving students' metacognitive skills.

This research is a correlational study which aims to determine the relationship between character and resilience; character and critical thinking; resilience and critical thinking; and the character, resilience, and critical thinking of undergraduate biology students after the Covid-19 pandemic. The research population is all undergraduate students majoring in Biology and Science Education at Makassar State University, Makassar Muhammadiyah University and Bosowa University who are enrolled in the 2nd semester of the 2021-2022 academic year. The research sample consisted of 3 classes with a total of 120 students who were selected through cluster random sampling technique. The data of students’ character and resilience were obtained using questionnaire techniques, while data on students’ critical thinking skills were obtained by using an essay test on General Biology subject. The results of data analysis showed a correlation between character and resilience (p=0.000); character and critical thinking (p=0.000); character and critical thinking (p=0.000); student character, resilience and critical thinking (p=0.000). The finding of this study suggest that the correlation appears due to the potential of character and resilience to influence, empower, and enhance students’ critical thinking skills

Balawista has the task of overseeing tourists who carry out marine tourism activities. Balawista has important roles to prevent and to rescue tourists from accidents and injuries. Rescue competence that is considered qualified makes Balawista assume that there is no need to use work safety equipment, but the use of equipment is a self-protection effort to prevent accidents to Balawista. The aimed of this study was to explore the perception of safety equipment use among Balawista staffs. This study was a descriptive quantitative study with cross sectional research design. Online data collection was used a questionnaire perceptions of safety equipment use. A total of 122 respodents were involved in this study selected by random sampling technique. The results showed that the average value of the perception of the safety equipment use on Balawista officers was 50,89. The majority of Balawista officers have a perception of the use of safety in the good category (69,7%) and a small proportion are in the sufficient category (30,3%). The conclusion of this study is that most Balawista officers have a good perception of the use of work safety equipment. The results of this study are expected to provide input for Balawista officers to practice on using personal safety equipment properly.
