Termites (Insecta: Isoptera) have been long recognized as pest insects as they can cause damage on wooden structures. It is highly required to know various aspects regarding this insect group in order to mitigate its destruction. This research initiated the identification of termites infested wooden structures in Universitas Andalas campus complex, Limau Manis, Padang, West Sumatra. It had been conducted from March to July 2020 where the specimens were collected by direct sampling method. A total of seven species from seven genera, four subfamilies and two families of termites were identified in this research. Termitidae became the family with the highest species number (five species) over Rhinotermitidae that only with two species. At the subfamily level, it could be ranked and specified as Nasutitermitinae (three species), followed by Macrotermitinae (two species), Rhinotermitinae and Coptotermitinae (one species each). This finding confirmed the existence of termites within anthropogenic environment such as concrete buildings complex. This confirmation exposed potential damage possessed by termites to the wooden structures within the complex. The presence of termite species in Universitas Andalas environment should initiate proper mitigation and maintenance plans in order to structurally preserve the campus complex.
The results of observations and evaluations of students in 6 th grade of Semester I, mathematics learning in 2017/2018 learning year most of the scores are still below the Minimum Completion Criticism of mathematics learning by 70. This is evidenced by the data of 17 students, 8 students or (47.06%) scored above the Minimum Completion Criticism, while 9 students or (52.94%) scored below the Minimum Completion Criticism. Based on this statement, the researcher set a solution to improve mathematics learning outcomes by using the approach of the learning model Survey, Question, Read, Recite, Reflect, and Review (SQ4R). The SQ4R model is a learning model that provides curiosity and can encourage processing in depth and breadth. The formulation of the research problem is how can student learning outcomes on mathematics subjects be improved through the use of learning models (SQ4R)? How do you implement the Survey learning model (SQ4R) can improve mathematics learning outcomes for 6 th grade, students of primary school in SD Lab. School FIP-UMJ? The study was conducted in 2 cycles. Each cycle consists of 4 stages. They are planning, implementation, observation, and reflection. The research subjects were 17 students. Data collection techniques was used test material techniques. Minimum Completion Criticism score, classical learning completeness is at least 85%, and individual completeness is at least 70. Percentage of completeness in cycle I is 82.35%, and cycle II 88.24%, implementation of SQ4R model can improve Mathematics learning outcomes.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
