Biology education has adopted the goal of educating future generations about sustainable, healthy habits. The current paper focuses on drinking-related nutritional literacy—the characteristic of health education that refers to aspects of healthy drinking: drinking enough water and fewer sugar-sweetened beverages (SSBs). The study aims to foster school students’ critical thinking about the quality and the quantity of what they drink in everyday life. Facilitating students’ metacognitive awareness was achieved, as they were engaged in a biology learning activity centered on the importance of healthy drinking in everyday life. The study focused on two research questions: 1. What is the contribution of drinking-related metacognitive guidance to the development of metacognitive awareness concerning healthy drinking among students? 2. What is the contribution of drinking-related metacognitive guidance to the way students express the principles and importance of healthy drinking as part of their metacognitive awareness thinking process? The findings indicate a quantitative and qualitative improvement in drinking-related metacognitive awareness among those students who received metacognitive guidance as part of biology teaching. This paper suggests that metacognitive guidance has a significant pedagogical potential to improve sustainable healthy habits among children.

This research aims to describe the level of geometric thinking and geometric thinking processes of Junior High School students according to van Hiele's level of thinking on the topic of quadrilaterals. The qualitative approach is the research method used in this study through a case study method by testing the Van Hiele Geometry Test (VHGT) which was adapted from Usiskin's CDASSG and conducting interviews about the thinking process in the form of identifying, defining, and classifying which was adapted from the interview guide of Burger and Shaughnessy (1986). The subjects of this study were 297 grade VII and VIII students from two schools located in the Lembang sub-district. The results of the VHGT test showed that there were 81 students counting level 0 (visualization). The results showed that the students of class VII and VIII level 0 were as follows: 1) students were able to recognize the types of quadrangle but still affected by the prototype, 2) students were not able to classify quadrilaterals, and 3) overall description of the geometric thinking process level 0 in the form of identifying, defining, and classifying aspects according to van Hiele's thinking characteristics in general.

Abstract. This study aims to describe the thinking process of students at the extended abstract level. The descriptive method used in this research is a qualitative approach. The instruments in this study included written test sheets and interview guides. Data analysis techniques used data collection, data reduction, display data, and concluding. The research subjects were two students who had reached the Extended abstract level on the SOLO taxonomy. The results of this study show that students at the extended abstract taxonomy level SOLO can understand the use of variables as generalizations of a number. Still, the majority representation component has not reached the representation indicator by making mathematical modeling in the form of an equation so that they cannot make a hypothesis or prediction in solving the problem related to algebra.   Abstrak. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendeskripsikan proses berpikir siswa pada level Extended Abstract. Metode deskriptif digunakan dalam penelitian ini dengan pendekatan kualitatif. Instrumen pada penelitian ini meliputi lembar tes tertulis dan pedoman wawancara. Teknik analisis data menggunakan pengumpulan data, reduksi data, penyajian data, dan penarikan kesimpulan. Subyek penelitian merupakan siswa yang telah mencapai level extended abstract pada taksonomi SOLO yang diambil secara purposif sebanyak 2 siswa. Hasil dari penelitian ini diketahui bahwa siswa pada level extended abstract taksonomi SOLO dapat memahami penggunaan variabel sebagai generalisasi suatu bilangan akan tetapi pada komponen representasi mayoritas belum mencapai indikator representasi dengan membuat pemodelan matematis berupa suatu persamaan sehingga tidak dapat membuat suatu hipotesa atau prediksi dalam penyelesaian masalah yang berkaitan dengan aljabar.
