The objective of this article is to evaluate the effectiveness implementation of the weather modification technology (WMT) for mitigating peatland fire disasters in Riau Province, Indonesia. The implementation of this WMT in Indonesia has been relatively new and challenging as this cutting-edge technology may increase the precipitation rates and therefore, it may reduce the risk of peat fire hazards in the huge massive areas. The Riau province has experienced serious peatland fire disasters from the period of 2014 to 2016. The evaluation of WMT in this article was focused on four regions within Riau encompassing Indragiri Hilir regency, Meranti Island, Pelalawan, and Siak. The Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) satellite data were used to calculate the precipitation rates. The method applied to evaluating the effectiveness of WMT was the Target Only Method (TOM). This method calculated the precipitation rates during the WMT period, which is compared to the historical precipitation data in a similar period. The total duration of a 3-year WMT implementation was 380 days, and the results were considered successful as an increase of precipitation rate (PCH) = 2.09 > 1.00. Hence, there was an increase in the average of precipitation rate during WMT period of 2014-2016 in Riau.
Learning media is everything that can be used to stimulate students' thoughts, feelings, attention, and abilities or skills so that they can encourage the learning process. This paper aims to analyze the use of learning media in sticky notes and virtual whiteboards in The Communication Skills Distance Training Batch II at Financial Educational and Training Agency Yogyakarta. Distance Training is implemented through a synchronous and asynchronous system via Zoom and training assignments in all subjects. The type of research is qualitative research using action research. The study used primary data sources. The data collection technique was by distributing questionnaires to 19 respondents, participants of Communication Skills Distance Training Batch II. The data analysis used was descriptive analysis method. The results showed that all respondents liked sticky notes media and virtual whiteboards in online classes. The advantages of this learning media are that it can create an interactive atmosphere, the class becomes more lively, there is an interaction between the trainer and the participants, and between the participants, and also the participants can focus on the learning material. The weakness of this learning media is that it takes time to explain how to use it because not everyone is familiar with this media. In addition, internet access constraints at specific locations caused difficulties for some participants when using this media.
Komunikasi memiliki peran penting dalam mendukung pelaksanaan tugas dan pencapaian kinerja. Sumber Daya Manusia (SDM) sebagai aset penting organisasi dituntut untuk memiliki kompetensi komunikasi. Di Kementeian Keuangan, komunikasi merupakan salah satu kompetensi manajerial yang harus dimiliki oleh pegawai. Untuk meningkatkan kompetensi komunikasi, dilaksanakan Pelatihan Communication Skills. Paper ini bertujuan untuk mengevaluasi Pelatihan Communication Skills di Balai Diklat Keuangan Yogyakarta. Metode evaluasi yang digunakan adalah metode Kirkpatrick level 1 dan 2 untuk mengukur kepuasan peserta terhadap pengajar dan penyelenggaraan, serta mengukur perubahan kompetensi peseta pelatihan sebelum dan sudah pelatihan. Penelitian ini merupakan jenis penelitian evaluasi menggunakan sumber data primer dan sekunder. Data primer berasal dari kuesioner, hasil ujian dan observasi, serta data sekunder berasal dari penelusuran dokumen. Metode analisis mengunakan analisi IPA (Importance Performance Analysis) dan uji t. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa peserta merasa puas dan menilai pengajar dan penyelenggaran sangat baik dengan nilai 4,70 untuk evaluasi penyelenggaraan dan 4,81 untuk evaluasi pengajar. Sedangkan evaluasi peserta menunjukkan ada peningkatan pengetahuan peserta pelatihan sebelum dan sesudah pelatihan
