Abstract

Simantri is agricultural integration activity in Bali, Indonesia covering food crops, horticulture businesses, animal husbandry, fisheries, plantations, and forestry crops in one area/activity location. The Simantri Group 733 Manah Cika Guna Bhakti Desa Baru has been formed since 2009, with available feed sources in the form of grasses that grow naturally (nature grass) and some forage plants such as gamal (Gliricidia sepium) and agricultural crop waste. Forage is the main feed for ruminants, which can be in the form of grasses or fodder plants such as legumes. Partners lack knowledge in the field of feed, especially learning about types of forage that are superior in quantity and quality, and are willing to increase the variety of quality forage sources available throughout the season. Partners also want to get special forage seeds and how to cultivate them. It is necessary to conduct action research for Simantri 733 Manah Cika Guna Bhakti Livestock Farmer Group in Banjar Dinas Baru, Baru Village, Marga District, Tabanan Regency, Bali, to help solve problems faced by partners by providing knowledge about superior types of forage, the introduction of technology and skills in cultivation such as land preparation, seed selection, planting, and care. This international collaboration activity was carried out well and smoothly on October 30, 2021, attended by 20 members of the Simantri group. The method used is the method of extension, active participation of farmers, and exploratory. Based on the evaluation results, the Simantri group has recognized several superior forages and has mastered the technology for the cultivation of superior types of forage. Mastery of technology reaches 80%, so it is necessary to provide further assistance to the group during the first and second cutting and preservation techniques so that the rainforest remains of good quality

So that it can be said, Ulu Ogan District is a food barn for Ogan Komering Ulu Regency. Rice production is the amount of rice obtained at the time of post-harvest. Yield will be affected by land area, fertilizer, and labor. This rise and fall in production results can be caused by several factors that are not precise enough so the production of lowland rice is not optimal. Therefore, there is a need for further analysis related to the factors that influence the production of lowland rice farming in Ulu Ogan District, Ogan Komering Ulu Regency. This study aimed to analyze the factors that influence the production of lowland rice in Ulu Ogan District, Ogan Komering Ulu Regency.

Abstract

In the new normal education, educators are expected to maximize to use of technology in providing instructional support to the student making them more engaged in the learning process. The study employed a mixed method to determine the positive effects of utilizing a teacher-made google site in teaching English for Academic and Professional Purposes (EAPP) among selected Grade 11 students. Google Sites is a website-building platform tool for the teacher who wants to build an e-learning environment, and a one-stop hub for students to access modules, interactive worksheets, important resources, video lessons, and reminders. The results of descriptive statistics provided evidence of the effectiveness of the intervention in prompting students’ engagement, independent learning, convenience, time management, and submission of outputs. A Paired-Sample T-test was also conducted. It was found that there was a significant gain with a large effect size on the participants' knowledge after the intervention was implemented. An interview questionnaire was also administered to explore the experiences of the participants towards intervention. Through thematic analysis, it was found that students have positive perceptions and good experience in using the teacher-made google as supported by the frequency of the themes derived from their textual responses. These findings imply that the utilization of Google Sites was an effective learning platform during this time of distance learning. It is recommended that schools will adopt and implement this platform with wider scope as it is proven to help students boost their engagement, and independent learning, gives opportunity to take time in understanding the lesson, and easy access to learning materials

Abstract

study responded to the spiral path of Senior High School Science curricula, so the study chose the sample from the Grade 11 General Academic Strand Students in Las Piñas City National Senior High School – CAA Campus. The researcher divided the students into two different groups in content and roles. Moreover, the researcher allowed the students to exchange roles. Also, the researcher planed three consecutive class lessons for the concept of the solar eclipse, the lunar eclipse, and the solar system. After completing the stage of defining the research question and the general framework of the study steps, the principal agreed to the procedures to implement the research plan. Then, the researcher held a training session for teachers that included a brief presentation of the research objectives, tools, and procedures. Furthermore, the researcher took the voluntary official approvals to participate in the research from the study sample. Then the researcher began planning lessons, preparing educational resources, and assessment tools. The researcher determined the educational patterns of the learners by following them closely for three consecutive days and in cooperation with the directed teacher. In the implementation phase of the study, the researcher applied a blueprint for dramatic texts and distributed roles to students according to the plan. Then, the researcher distributed a written and visual guide to enable students to understand the phenomenon and simulate it. Students showed a simulation of the solar eclipse accompanied by a single worksheet that measures understanding and record learning descriptions. Following, the students introduced the lunar eclipse phenomenon, accompanied by another worksheet, and the student completed the learning progress record. Then the students wrote reflections on their learning experience. After completing the research investigation, the researcher interviewed the focus groups. Finally, the researcher tabulated all data and analyzed it to produce learning implications that explain and evaluate the impact of this strategy on learning.

Abstract

Tourist villages will need infrastructure that supports tourism activities such as places to eat, places to stay, rest areas, galleries, and so on, one of whose goals is to improve the living standards of local people. This causes the number of plant species to decrease. Plant conservation by utilizing local wisdom is one of the efforts to reduce the decline in the number of plant species. Balinese people need many types of plants to support their ceremonial activities. The application of Tri Hita Karana and Tri Mandala in the daily life of the Balinese people is expected to support plant conservation activities and support tourism activities and provide economic benefits in the Pinge traditional village. The concept of Tri Hita Karana derives from the concept of Tri Mandala which consists of the main mandala as a parahyangan or holy place, Madya mandala in the form of a yard which includes residential buildings and natah, while nista mandala yard in the form of the back house (teba) and the yard of the front house (telajakan). Traditional Balinese gardening uses the concept of Tri Mandala. The problems raised in this "community service program" are still unorganized placement of plants in the Tri Mandala area and the lack of availability of plants for landscape management following the Tri Hita Karana concept. To support the management of landscape plants following the tri hita karana concept, Warmadewa University in collaboration with the Unda Anyar Seedling Nursery Center, Ministry of Environment and Forestry (KLHK) assisted plant seeds in the form of Cempaka seeds, avocados, sandalwood, majegau, jackfruit, rejasa, sawo, and soursop. Conducting webinars on the topic of landscape plant management following the tri hita karana concept. Inviting the people of Pinge Village to actively participate in planting Tri Mandala following the concept of Tri Hita Karana.
