Abstract

A person must not only be proficient in their major field of study but also in the English language, which serves as the primary international language of communication in both oral and written form, due to the growing demand for international communication and the level of competition in the global job market. Therefore, it is essential that English language instruction in higher education be able to deliver comprehensive and professional English that is not only relevant to their field of study but also meets the demands and needs of the target learning and work field. It is sad that the English learning process, particularly English for Specific Purposes (ESP) programs at the university level, does not fulfill the fundamental competence and learning outcomes as mandated and expected. Lack of lesson planning, unfulfilled requirements and expectations of teachers and students, as well as irrelevant material to the topic of the study, are among the influencing variables that have been identified to contribute to the effectiveness of the anticipated teaching and learning in ESP classes. Given this information, it is crucial to undertake a study that places a greater emphasis on determining the needs of the learners (needs analysis). This is especially helpful for facilitating the learners' anticipation of taking English classes that are pertinent to their subject of study. This study was undertaken at Pattimura University's Chemistry Education Program in order to achieve this goal. Since 2017, the ESP subject has been included in the curriculum under the topic of English for Chemistry. Thirty-three students were involved as the participants in the survey by answering 20 items provided in the questionnaire. The result shows that the majority of the students (39.4%) admitted that they would be interested in learning English if the materials are relevant to the Chemistry study, but still has the linguistics elements in English. This finding was also supported by 69.7% of the respondents who said that they would be motivated in learning if the teacher uses contextual English materials in Chemistry that are possible to be implemented in their daily life. Additionally, students also gave several suggestions for the improvement of English Learning in terms of the focus of English skill, the approach and activities in learning. These findings are principally constructive as the input to design and/or develop the English material (Material Development) that will be used to teach English for Chemistry subject in Chemistry Education study program

Abstract

University Course Textbook or “Buku Ajar” is a handbook for a specific course/subject/class written by the lecturer of that course in accordance with the curriculum and syllabus of the course. The textbook is a crucial addition to support the teaching and learning process in the classroom. A good textbook will provide the users (lecturers and students) a one-stop place for lesson, exercises and practices. A good textbook will motivate students to learn, enable students to follow the flow of learning, and allowing an opportunity for elaboration. Translation class at English Education Study program had been using the same textbook since 2014. Thus, it was time to revise and improve the textbook according to the changing curriculum from KKNI to Merdeka Belajar Curriculum. This research was conducted in Translation Class in 2020 and 2021. In 2020, students were asked to evaluate the 2014 textbook to obtain students feedback for the improvement. In 2021 a new revised textbook was completed and used in the class. The students were later asked for their feedback and evaluation of the new textbook. The instrument used was an online questionnaire with close-ended and open-ended items. It was divided into 3 Assessment Aspects: Textbook Content and Face Evaluation, Classroom Activity Experience and Feedback from students. The result shows that 2014 textbook received an overall low satisfaction and feedback. The new and revised textbook that was developed based on these feedback and evaluation received an overwhelmingly positive feedback and high satisfaction rate on all aspects.

Abstract

Students are less able to comprehend and resolve mathematical issues as a result of reading mathematical content. Additionally, deductive mathematics learning necessitates the use of skills in mathematics instruction by the teacher to ensure that students comprehend and correctly answer mathematical issues. The teaching methods of teachers when students are learning are thus the subject of some research. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the mathematics instructors' delivery methods in Masohi City's junior high schools. The participants in this study were junior high school mathematics teachers in Masohi City, and they were chosen based on their educational background, length of employment, attendance at workshops, and/or other relevant strategies or the use of instructional materials. The mathematics teacher's teaching methodology is the subject of the study. A quantitative descriptive research methodology was adopted, in which the amount of data collected was stated in detail. Observation, questionnaires, and interviews with research participants are other methods used in data collection. When the research was being done, observations were made to watch what was happening. The purpose of the questionnaire is to determine how effectively the chosen teaching method can encourage students to use mathematics in their classwork, homework, and other performances. The interview was done to ascertain the accuracy of the questionnaire responses and to serve as a discussion starter for the results that would be discussed later.

Abstract

Technical Vocational Education and Training (TVET) is understood as the component of education that results in the acquisition of applied and practical skills that will allow its trainees to find employment in a particular occupation. In order to effectively implement the program, these skills must be developed in a well-established and functional workshop with the appropriate tools, equipment, and machines for the ready-made garment training programme. The provision of workshop tools and equipment was a key of discussion in this study because it is essential for TVET graduates to develop the skills necessary for gainful employment in the ready-made garment industry. The purpose of this study was to focus on equipment alignment between VTI colleges and garment industries in Laos. This study used a descriptive qualitative research design. Literature review method and content analysis techniques were used to analyse the data, which focus on efforts to find, identify, and critically analyze the important elements in the document, namely: the equipment used in schools and in the garment industry. The result showed that the equipment as practical training equipment and tools in the vocational schools only covered the training objectives of the curriculum that the school has developed, in which students can only perform basic skills if compared to the equipment in the garment factory, it is only covered for 5% of equipment of the ready-made garment.

Abstract

Geologically, Buru Island is composed of quite varied rocks, both in the form of sedimentary rock, igneous rock and metamorphic rock produced by subduction and magmatism and sedimentation activities. This is why Buru Island has quite a variety of potential metal and non-metallic mineral resources. The Wahlua Formation is the most widely distributed rock formation on Buru Island, but until now the petrographic, geochemical characteristics, and potential geological and mineral resources in this formation have not been studied in detail. The aims of this study were (1) to obtain data on the petrographic and geochemical characteristics of the rocks at Mount Gogorea, and (2) to determine the potential of metal minerals at the Gogorea location. The research was carried out at 4 observation points and 4 rock sampling points. Identification of petrographic and mineral characteristics was carried out megascopically and microscopically. Rock geochemical data were obtained using the AAS and ICP OES methods. The main rocks that make up the Geology of Mount Gogorea in the Wahlua formation are light-colored quartzite, granuloblastic texture, and non-foliated structure, various colored schist (reddish-brown-fawn and dark gray), lepidoblastic texture, foliated-schistose structure with mica as constituent minerals, phyllite greenish-gray, brownish to light in color, crystalloblastic texture with a smooth surface, and foliated-phyllitic structure, minerals making up mica, quartz, chlorite, and dark gneic rocks (greenish gray, dark gray, dark green), granoblastic texture and foliated-gneissic structure, with minerals in quartz, mica and hornblende rocks. The levels of precious metal Au were 16.7 ppm and 16.4 ppm, Hg was 2.49 ppm, As was 17 ppm while the highest base metal content was Mn at 925 ppm. Potential metal minerals at the Mount Gogorea location include precious metals (Au, Hg and As) and base metals such as manganese, zinc, barium, lead, copper and nickel. The presence of Au elements in rocks is associated with the levels of other elements, namely Ba, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, La, Mn, Ni, Pb, Sr, and Zn.

Abstract

In Maluku province, especially West Seram Regency (SBB) Taniwel district, has been found the snake fruit with thick fruit with dark yellow color and red dispersion, named salak merah. Buria village and Riring village are samples of breeding central red snake fruit at different altitude that allows different morphology characteristics on red snake fruit, especially on its fruit. the purpose of this research is to know the morphometrics of red snake fruit at lower altitude (Buria village) and higher altitudes (Riring village). This research is a laboratory research type with the only object being red snake fruit taken with purposive sampling. Data were analyzed descriptively. The research shows that the morphometric of red snake fruit from Buria village for length fruit parameter, fruit diameter, middle thickness, skin thickness, and fruit weight in the range of 5.33 cm, 4.66 cm, 1.72 cm, 0.1 cm, and 52.89 gr. While the morphometric of red snake fruit from Riring village was in the range of 5.15 cm, 4.45 cm, 1.47 cm, 0,1 cm, and 46.51 gr. The morphometric value of red snake fruit of Buria village is higher compared to the morphometric value of red snake fruit from Riring village. Therefore, we can conclude that the difference in the altitude of the growth spot gives a real significant difference in the morphometric value of red snake fruit, where the higher the altitude at the plant grows, the lower the morphometric value of the plant. This research is only limited to the fruit morphometric, in hope that there will be another progression on other morphometric parameters, like a leaf, stem, and flower, in addition to its environmental chemical and physical factors that giving significant influence towards the morphometric value of red snake fruit in Taniwel district, West Seram Regency (SBB).

Abstract

The way that math is taught in schools has a tendency to be traditional. The purpose of this study is to assess the learning outcomes of 8th graders at Amahai Christian Middle School who get instruction in a realistic mathematics education model in a rural setting with those who receive instruction according to a traditional educational model. A pretest and a posttest were employed in this investigation. The test value is used to compare the starting skills of experimental and control group pupils. Using a difference test for pretest values and a statistical precondition test for normality and homogeneity. The data is normally distributed, as indicated by the results of the pretest normality test for the experimental class with sig = 0.116> = 0.05 and the control class with sig = 0.108> = 0.05. then carry out the homogeneity test that comes before. With values off sig 0.016> = 0.05, both classes exhibit homogeneous variants. It continued with a one-way ANOVA test after the second prerequisite test was passed, and it was determined that there was no difference between the two classes' starting abilities (sig = 0.117> = 0.05). The posttest was then examined using a normality test with sig = 0.138> = 0.05 for the experimental class and sig = 0.060> =0.05 for the control class, following the administration of the treatment for the experimental class and control class. The data had a regularly distributed distribution for the control class. The post-test homogeneity test should next be conducted. With sig = 0.522> = 0.05, it exhibits homogenous variance. A one-way ANOVA test with sig = 0.01 = 0.05 is conducted when the second prerequisite test is passed. Therefore, it may be inferred that kids who were taught with realistic mathematics education in a rural setting as opposed to conventional education showed significantly different learning outcomes.

Abstract

The overall goal of the study is to determine and analyze the utility of PKBM deployment as an educational tool in Ambon Municipality. With a focus on the PKBM program as a hub of resources for community learning in the city of Ambon, this study is evaluation research based on the CIPP evaluation paradigm (context, input, process, and product). This method is superior because it allows for a thorough examination of social phenomena by researchers. In an effort to identify research issues, the research technique is utilized as a manual or tool to aid researchers in carrying out the various parts of the research. The findings demonstrated that the people of Ambon City needed PKBM as a hub for community learning resources, particularly in the wake of the city's social unrest. The community's active participation was required to rebuild educational activities by empowering local talent, particularly that of those who drop out of school or are unable to pursue higher education because of adverse economic circumstances. It can be concluded that the context component (context) of the PKBM package C program in Ambon City has a high or good actuality.
