“…At this point, QL plays an important role to prepare future scientists who can think rigorously about their assumptions, experiments, and conclusions [17]. Today, the field of biology has increasingly relied on an interdisciplinary approach to addressing complex biological problems, and this approach usually requires significant quantitative analysis [18]. Furthermore, integrating QL into content could highly support teaching and learning on the difficult topics such as the nature of science and the construction of scientific knowledge [15].…”

<p class="Abstract">This study aimed to measure and analyze students’ quantitative literacy (QL) in human coordination system concept. It involved 76 participants (16-17 years old) from the second grade of senior high school at two national schools in Subang, West Java, Indonesia. These participants consisted of 39 males and 37 female students. Their QL was assessed by four essay tests to examine their QL indicators including interpretation, representation, calculation, and analysis through coordination system in human issue. Their answers were analyzed by a QL rubric according to Association of American Colleges and University (AACU) assessment. QL achievement for each indicator was categorized into four levels. The analysis result showed that students’ interpretation, representation, calculation, and analysis were at level 3, 2, 3, and 1, respectively. Based on data analysis, students’ achievement in calculation, interpretation, and representation were categorized as the milestone (mediocre). Meanwhile, their analysis skill was classified as a benchmark or the lowest QL level.</p>

“…Discussants identified key features of data literacy and the characteristic quantitative skills and conceptual understanding associated with different levels of data literacy for those features (Table ). The different levels of data literacy, ability, and understanding in the matrix can be broadly applied to students at any educational level and can be a starting point to assist educators in identifying specific aspects of data literacy they want to emphasize in their learning outcomes and assessment (Hoffman et al., ).…”

“…The developed modules are systematically designed, efficient, and effective to help students in learning independently and linking the Qur'an and Hadith according to the RPS. Developed modules can be implemented to achieve goals (Hoffman, et al, 2016). The curriculum and learning in the Tadris Biology study program at the State Islamic Institute Palangka Raya are compiled by integrating Islamic values, although they still do not use books or modules that are integrated into Islam (Lestariningsih, N., et al, 2017).…”

High plant botanical learning in Biology Tadris study program at IAIN Palangka Raya has not used integrated Islamic modules yet, it can be produced an impact on the learning outcomes achievement, there are 43.25% of students have not achieved on mastery learning grade. The purpose of this study was to produce a valid, practical and effective on the Islamic learning module for high plant botanical courses towards students' independence in using the module. This research used Research & Development and developed a method by using the ADDIE model with stages of Analyze, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation. The results of this study indicated that the modules developed are suitable for use in high plant botanical lecture learning obtained from the validity scores of material experts 97.03% with very good or valid categories, design experts obtained 92.11% with good or valid categories, religious experts obtained 94, 14% with a good or valid category. The application based on observations of the implementation of learning modules obtained an average grade of 98.70% with very successful criteria. The value of practicality is obtained from student responses in using the average module percentage of 94.75% with practical criteria. The independence of students learning using questionnaires has obtained an average of 87.70%. The effectiveness of the application of the module is obtained from improving student learning outcomes with the N-Gain value of 0.7 with a high category compared to the control class of the N-Gain 0.2 with a low category
