Abstract

Problem-solving skills and the ability to live sustainably by maintaining the harmonization of the environment/biodiversity are some of the characteristics of society 5.0. It should be provided in biodiversity learning in college. The study aimed to describe various efforts in biodiversity learning in colleges providing problem-solving skills to realize the learning of society 5.0. This research method was descriptive with lecturer respondents (n = 82) who teach biodiversity subjects at various colleges in Indonesia (n = 38). The instrument was a google form questionnaire that contains questions about problem-solving skills provided. The data were analyzed descriptively qualitatively. The results indicated that 98.8% of respondents had provided problem-solving skills. 64.6% of respondents provided it through weekly practice activities and project assignment activities. 75.6% of respondents stated that students independently determine the steps of research and solve the problems carried out and lecturers provide sufficient guidance according to student needs. Regarding new literacy, 31.7% of respondents said that they did not know about it and did not apply it to provide research and problem-solving skills for students in lecturing activities. This study concluded that various efforts had been made in biodiversity learning in colleges in providing problem-solving skills as learning society 5.0. In the future, it is necessary to increase the application of new literacy which consists of data literacy, technological literacy, and human literacy that support the implementation of learning of society 5.0.
