Abstract. Chotimah HENC, Kresnatita S, Miranda Y. 2013. Ethnobotanical study and nutrient content of local vegetables consumed in Central Kalimantan, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 14: 106-111. People in Central Kalimantan consume vegetables collected from the wild or traditionally cultivated. Documentation effort of them is very important because the diversity of local vegetables is threatened with extinction due to the conversion of peat land and forest fires. This study aimed to determine the diversity of local vegetables in Central Kalimantan, its use as a vegetable and nutrient content of some vegetables. The method used was the exploration and interviews. Exploration was carried out in three districts, namely Palangkaraya, Pulang Pisau, and Seruyan. Sampling of plants was done randomly and selectively. Data analysis was performed descriptively. The results showed that we recorded 42 plant species belonging to 30 families. There were many vegetables processing: stir-fry, make into clear soup, a light coconut milk soup, acidic soup, or just consumed as fresh vegetables. Based on the nutritional value, Helminthostachys zeylanica (L.) Hook had a potential to be developed as vegetables or medicinal plant. It had the highest protein, carbohydrate and minerals, namely P, Fe, Na and K among the vegetables analyzed.

SD Santa Maria di Palangka Raya dikenal sebagai sekolah dengan sejumlah prestasi membanggakan serta memiliki pelayanan pendidikan yang baik. Pada tahun 2018 SD Santa Maria Palangka Raya meraih penghargaan sekolah Adiwiyata Nasional dan saat ini sedang dalam persiapan mengikuti Adiwiyata mandiri.  Seriring meningkatnya kepedulian terhadap lingkungan, termasuk di sekolah, penelitian ini bertujuan mengetahui impmentasi program Adiwiyata di SD Santa Maria beserta faktor pendukung dan penghambatnya. Hasil penelitian diharapkan menjadi bahan refleksi bagi sekolah lainnya dalam melaksanakan program serupa dan menjadi masukan untuk meningkatkan kinerja SD Santa Maria. Penelitian bersifat deskriptif kualitatatif dan melibatkan 10 orang responden kunci dari internal sekolah. Implementasi program adiwiyata mengacu pada empat komponen yaitu pengembangan kebijakan sekolah berwawasan lingkungan, implementasi kurikulum berwawasan lingkungan, kegiatan lingkungan berbasis partisipatif, dan sarana pendukung ramah lingkungan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa SD Santa Maria telah membuat program-program yang bertujuan untuk menciptakan lingkungan sekolah yang bersih dan berbudaya lingkungan, yaitu perumusan visi dan misi berbudaya lingkungan, implementasi kurikulum berwawasan lingkungan, program pengelolaan sampah, Jum’at bersih, penghematan penggunaan listrik, air, dan ATK, serta pengelolaan layanan kantin sekolah. Faktor pendukung yang dominan yaitu, pertama, kerjasama yang baik antara sekolah dengan orang tua/wali siswa, dan masyarakat. Kedua, lingkungan sekolah yang memungkinkan untuk dijadikan ruang terbuka hijau karena memiliki areal luas dan sarana prasana yang mendukung. Faktor penghambat yaitu alokasi dana yang dibatasi pada anggaran sekolah (RKAS), dan kurangnya personil dalam perawatan sarana prasarana.

Based on the results of observations of learning activities carried out on students in junior high school, it is known that students' science process skills are still relatively low. In addition, students' understanding of concepts on the topic of environmental pollution is still low. The purpose of this study was to describe the effect of predict-observe-explain (POE) based problem model on students’s conceptual mastery and science process skills in learning environmental pollution. The method that was used in this research was pre-experiment and the design was one-group pretest-posttest. Sample of the research were took from one class, namely class VII in a junior high school in Kasongan, Katingan Regency, Central Kalimantan. The instruments used for the research were: (1) achievement test and (2) the science process skills observation sheet. The result showed that there was an improvement in students’ conceptual mastery in learning environmental pollution, indicated by average normalized gain of 0,68. Science process skills of students in environmental pollution topic through POE based problem model gained an average of good category. Therefore, the indicator of science process skills with highest score was the prediction and collecting data aspect, while the lowest score was communicating aspect. From this research can be conclude  that applyng the POE based problem model can improve students’ learning outcomes and also give positive effect on students’ science process skills,especially on the topic of environmental pollution

UPAYA PENINGKATAN SIKAP ILMIAH DAN PELESTARIAN BUDAYA LOKAL MELALUI PRAKTIKUM BIOLOGI BERBASIS ETNOBIOLOGI AbstrakPotensi lokal yang ada di sekitar sekolah pada umumnya belum banyak dimanfaatkan secara maksimal sebagai sumber belajar biologi, oleh sebab itu perlu dikembangkan praktikum biologi berbasis etnobiologi sebagai upaya pelestarian budaya lokal.Tujuan penelitian ini adalah 1) mengkaji pengetahuan Etnobiologi dan meningkatkan sikap ilmiah peserta didik SMA melalui praktikum biologi. 2) mengintegrasikan budaya lokal masyarakat suku Dayak Ngaju di wilayah Kabupaten Gunung Mas pada materi pelajaran biologi. Tahap pertama merupakan penelitian deskriptif kualitatif, pada tahap ini dilakukan pengkajian potensi lokal berbasis etnobiologi meliputi sumber daya alam hewan, tumbuhan dan potensi lokal lainnya, yang dimanfaatkan masyarakat.Tahap kedua dilaksanakan praktikum biologi berbasis etnobiologi pada peserta didik kelas X di tiga SMA wilayah Kabupaten Gunung Mas dengan menggunakan angket respons peserta didik terhadap pelaksanaan praktikum. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan terdapat peningkatan sikap ilmiah setelah mendapatkan pembelajaran biologi berbasis etnobiologi dibanding kelompok kontrol dengan rata-rata skor sebesar 0,47 (kriteria sedang).Budaya lokal perlu didokumentasikan dan diajarkan kepada generasi berikutnya untuk menghindari kehilangan budaya lokal di wilayah setempat.AbstractLocal potentials that exist around the school, in general, have not been maximally utilized as a source of biology learning. Therefore, it needs to be developed learning biology-based on ethnobiology efforts of preservation of local culture. The purpose of this research is 1) to study the knowledge of ethnobiology and to improve the scientific attitude of the learner of high school students through biology practicum. 2) integrate the local culture of the Dayak Ngaju tribe community in the Gunung Mas District area in biology subject matter. The first stage is qualitative descriptive research. At this stage conducted an assessment of local potency based on ethnobiology covering natural animal resources, plants, and other local potencies, which is utilized by society. The second stage is practicum based on ethnobiology biology of class X students in three high schools in Gunung Mas District by using the questionnaire of students' responses to the practicum implementation. The results showed that there was an increase in scientific attitude after obtaining biology learning based on ethnobiology- compared to the control group with an average score of 0.47 (medium criterion). Local culture needs to be documented and taught to the next generation to avoid losing local culture in the local area.

The objective of this research is to create a Quick Response Code equipped learning module on the human reproductive system that is applicable, doable, and efficient in enhancing student learning results. Students class XI from SMAN 3 Dusun Selatan served as the research subjects. research method Learning modules are created utilizing the ASSURE paradigm, which includes the following steps: (1) Analyze the Learner; (2) State Standards and Objectives; (3) Choose Methods; Media or Materials; (4) Utilize Media and Materials; (5) Require Learner Participation; and (6) Evaluate and Revise. The effectiveness of the instructional module and the students' cognitive learning results are both included in the observed data. Student learning outcomes were determined using the methods of observation, product assessment questionnaires, and tests. The results reveal that the module developed during this learning process received module assessments of 4.28 and 4.68 (feasible criteria were used) from material experts and media experts, respectively. It is possible to increase the module's effectiveness by The learning results for the experimental class's students were computed using the effectiveness formula, and they came out at (74.15%) in the very good effectiveness category. While students' learning results in the experimental class gain a score of 0.67 (medium category), those in the control class receive a score of 0.24. (low category). As a result, it can be said that the learning module created can effectively and practically increase student learning results.
