CAUSALITY ANALYSIS OF CONCEPT UNDERSTANDING WITH CREATIVE THINKING ABILITY OF STUDENT TO SOCIAL CHANGE

Creative thinking develops from students' potential; however, the level of ability to think creatively is different for every human being. Many scientists argue that the higher person's education level will be followed by the ability to think creatively. This statement's emergence stems from the idea that the higher a person's education is because the person receives more education and learning in quantity. From a different perspective, educators worry that the more knowledge a person gets from education and learning is mostly forgotten. It can be believed that not all learning can be understood by students. The conceptual approach applied in learning can help students understand various concepts. The quality of one's understanding can contribute to the ability to think creatively. The purpose of this study was to describe the causal relationship between conceptual understanding and creative thinking skills. The research data were obtained from 38 students through the pre-test and post-test of learning social change. The research data were analyzed using linear regression analysis. The results showed that the contribution of conceptual understanding to thinking creatively was 87%, and other factors influenced the rest. This study concluded that their causal relationship is significant between conceptual understanding and creative thinking skills.

THE EFFECTIVENESS OF DIGITAL COMICS IN IMPROVING INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION SKILLS AND STUDENT MOTIVATION

Digital comics are media that support the learning process in the 4.0 era. Digital comics contain the concept of bacteria that is easy for students to understand. The purpose of this study was to analyze the increase in problem-solving skills, critical thinking, and student motivation in learning the concept of bacteria using digital comics. The subjects in this study were 26 third semesters’ students of the biology education program. The comics that are used are digital comics created by researchers using the comic life application. The instruments used were critical thinking test questions and problem-solving and motivation questionnaires. Data analyses were done by using descriptive analysis techniques. The results of the t-test analysis showed that there were differences in students' problem solving and critical thinking abilities before and after learning using digital comics "Bacterial Characteristics" (p <0.05). Meanwhile, student motivation also has differences between the first meeting and the second meeting during learning using digital comics (p <0.05). The use of digital comics can empower students' problem-solving skills, critical thinking, and motivation in learning the concept of bacterial characteristics

ORGANOLEPTIC OF FOOD PRODUCTS MADE FROM GUDE BEAN (Cajanus cajan)

The use of local bean as an alternative food to meet the community's nutritional needs has been widely practised by society. One of the popular local beans in Kisar Island, Southwestern Maluku community, is gude bean. The people of Kisar Island have used gude beans and sweet potatoes to make traditional food, namely kolak (sweet compote), while the young pods are used as fresh vegetables. Gude bean can be used as a functional food such as gude essence, sweetened condensed milk, and soy sauce. The research objective was to determine the organoleptic assessment of food products from gude beans. Three sterile food products using gude beans were made in this research. The organoleptic tests were conducted on the Kisar community. Organoleptic panellists were fifteen (15) people originally from Kisar Island who live in Ambon city. Panellists were selected using a purposive sampling technique because they originally from Kisar Island know the nature of gude beans, like gude beans, have consumed gude beans. Descriptive analysis techniques were used as data analysis. The results showed that gude essence, milk, and soy sauce products had good taste, colour, texture, and aroma and were acceptable for consumption. This organoleptic test showed that the Kisar community could accept the gude bean food products.
