Abstract

The training on developing 3D media of the hydrological cycle was conducted for geography teachers in the MGMP of SMA/MA in Pariaman City and Padang Pariaman Regency to enhance pedagogical skills and diversify instructional media. The program consisted of administrative preparation, delivery of hydrology materials, and practical sessions using a semi-prepared model strategy for efficiency. Evaluation employed Likert-scale questionnaires, observation, and group discussions. Results indicated an average satisfaction score of 4.4 out of 5, with the highest for student benefit (4.7) and the lowest for model complexity (3.8). Furthermore, 90% of teachers expressed readiness to implement the media in their classrooms. Discussions also highlighted local issues, such as the reliance on rainwater consumption, which enriched teachers’ perspectives on water quality and safety. The program was concluded to be effective in strengthening teachers’ capacities and recommended enhancing model complexity and expanding innovative media development.

Abstract

Teaching Indonesia’s geographical conditions in schools often faces challenges because flat maps are insufficient to represent topographic variations realistically. As a result, junior high school social studies teachers (SMP/MTs) struggle to explain differences between highlands, lowlands, and water bodies, making it difficult for students to fully understand. To address this issue, a training program on making embossed maps was carried out for members of the Social Studies Teachers’ Association (MGMP) in Padang City. The focus was not on students directly, but on enhancing teachers’ competencies so they can design and apply innovative learning media in the classroom. Embossed maps were created through several steps: (1) drawing a map sketch on plywood, (2) layering newspaper pulp to follow the topographic contours, (3) drying the map under sunlight, (4) coloring according to elevation, and (5) preparing a legend that reflects relevant geographic elements. The training demonstrated high enthusiasm among participants, who successfully produced embossed maps as effective visual media. Thus, embossed maps should be strongly advocated as practical, innovative, and applicable tools to support effective geography teaching and learning in social studies.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze noise levels along the Padang–Bukittinggi arterial road, with a specific focus on the Lubuk Alung Market area in Padang Pariaman Regency, which is characterized by high traffic intensity and community mobility, thereby creating noise that has the potential to reduce environmental comfort and endanger public health when its intensity exceeds established quality standards. The research employs a descriptive quantitative approach with purposive sampling at three strategic measurement points. Primary data were obtained by measuring noise intensity using a sound level meter with five-second recording intervals over ten minutes in the morning, at midday, and in the afternoon, both on working days and holidays. The data were processed using Microsoft Excel and spatially analyzed through Inverse Distance Weighting (IDW) interpolation in ArcGIS 10.3. The results show that all measurement points exhibit high noise levels, with the highest values recorded at Point 2, which consistently exceeded 79 dBA, as well as a tendency for increased noise intensity at midday and in the afternoon in line with higher levels of human and vehicular activity. These findings underscore the need for noise mitigation strategies, such as traffic management, spatial zoning, and the installation of acoustic barriers, to create a healthier and more comfortable environment for residents in the Lubuk Alung Market area.
