Abstract

One of the subjects that must be taken by distance education students of Physics of Universitas Terbuka (UT) is PEFI4201 Physics Learning Strategy. The average score obtained by students in PEFI4201 courses is low. To master the concept of this course students are given learning assistance services in the form of online tutorial (tuton) in addition to studying the module as the main teaching material. However, the students' activity in the tuton is less encouraging. Thus the social media WhatsApp (WA) is required to enable students to follow the tutons. The purpose of this research is to describe WA communication process in support of tutons implementation. The method used in this research is descriptive qualitative and quantitative to analyze WA communication process in support of tutons implementation. The results of this study obtained that WA strongly supports student activeness in tutons. Communication occurring from 28 August to 29 October 2017 consists of academic administration 6.67%; reminder 22.42%; explanation of material 62,42%; and technical explanation elearning 8.48%.Two-way communication can work well through WA, because WA is more familiar to be accessed anywhere, anytime. If the student is late to access every step of the weekly learning activity on the tutons, be reminded through WA. Progress of individual progress in completing discussions and tuton assignments informed through WA with the intent to motivate students to immediately follow the discussion and complete the tuton task. Thus it can be concluded that social media WA can support tuton activities.

Abstract

Several aspects of biology teaching affect teachers in carrying out their duties, such as their religious beliefs. This factor affects them in delivering lessons on controversial topics between science and religion. The cloning topic is one of the most controversial topics in terms of science and religion. Therefore, this study aimed to describe the religious aspect of cloning lessons in Islamic organizations-based school. A descriptive qualitative design was used to elaborate on three biology teachers by observing, documenting, and interviewing them. The observations were recorded with a video camera. Meanwhile, the interview with students, principals, and the teachers were used to triangulate the data, which were transcribed and descriptively analyzed. Therefore, the documentation was due to the gain in the lesson plan and school profile. The participants were three biology teachers of class XII in three high schools in South Tangerang, Banten Province, Indonesia. The results showed that the integration of religious values in the learning of cloning topics is not entirely determined by Islamic organizations, but the teachers' ability to understand and integrate the values in learning. This is a challenge for Islamic organization-based schools to evaluate the implementation of the school's vision and missions in the learning. Therefore, biology teachers need to be trained in Islamic schools to appropriately integrate the values of science and religion
