Abstrak
Given the advancement of technology the current direction of genetics education aims to develop a society with genetics literacy. Genetic literacy has become increasingly necessary and relevant to society because scientific advancements have resulted in genetics research findings becoming widespread and leading to genetics-related issues. Genetics education in higher education plays a crucial role in helping students achieve genetics literacy standards including genetics skills knowledge and attitudes. However numerous empirical studies showed gaps and challenges in genetics education especially on the curriculum teaching and assessment. Therefore the method of this research used educational design research which has the potential to address real-world problems and generate theories that can help bridge the gap between theory and practice in the classroom. Educational design research was used to investigate genetics education and address the identified gaps particularly in Indonesia. The results of this study was dicussed based on educational tripartite. First curriculum showed that genetics education focused on genetics literacy. Standard of genetics literacy consisted of genetics knowledge and genetics skills. In addition the preliminary research showed that biology students was lacking of genetics literacy. Second the design principles of genetics literacy determined that the importance to integrate genetics issues case study teaching method and four component model of morality. Third the case based ethical decision showed that can support students ethical decision-making when they were facing with genetics issues. All in all based on the results of this study we recommend genetics education for the following. (1) Incorporating new content such as genetic issues genetics teaching should involve new content of genetic issues such as genetic testing ethical considerations and the impact of genetic research on society. (3) Case study teaching methods should be employed in genetics education to provide students with real-world scenarios that require critical thinking and problem-solving. This method encourages active learning and helps students apply theoretical knowledge to practical situations. (2) Aligning genetics education with technological advancements genetics education at universities should stay current with advancements in genetic technology. This includes integrating new tools techniques and discoveries into the curriculum to provide students with up-to-date knowledge and skills.
