Abstrak

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis tingkat pemahaman mahasiswa tentang konsep fisiologi manusia dalam pendidikan dasar biomedis, dengan fokus pada mahasiswa keperawatan di Famika University. Fisiologi manusia adalah mata pelajaran inti dalam pendidikan kesehatan, tetapi banyak siswa berjuang untuk memahami konsepnya yang kompleks. Penelitian ini menggunakan desain survei deskriptif dengan pendekatan kuantitatif, melibatkan 50 responden dari mahasiswa semester dua dan empat. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa mayoritas mahasiswa semester II memiliki pemahaman yang baik (77,75%), sedangkan mahasiswa semester IV menunjukkan pemahaman yang cukup (68%). Selain itu, perbedaan pemahaman ditemukan berdasarkan jenis kelamin, dengan siswa laki-laki memiliki pemahaman yang lebih baik (81,25%) dibandingkan dengan siswa perempuan (74,52%). Temuan ini menunjukkan bahwa variasi pemahaman dapat dipengaruhi oleh faktor-faktor seperti latar belakang pendidikan, gaya belajar, dan motivasi. Oleh karena itu, penelitian ini menyarankan penggunaan pendekatan pembelajaran aktif dan teknologi pendidikan untuk meningkatkan pemahaman siswa tentang konsep fisiologi. Hasil penelitian ini diharapkan dapat berkontribusi dalam meningkatkan kurikulum dan metode pengajaran dalam pendidikan kesehatan, mempersiapkan mahasiswa untuk menghadapi tantangan klinis masa depan dengan lebih efektif. Penelitian lebih lanjut direkomendasikan untuk mengeksplorasi faktor-faktor spesifik yang mempengaruhi pemahaman dan untuk mengevaluasi efektivitas strategi pengajaran yang diusulkan ini pada populasi siswa yang beragam.
