Laboratorium sebagai sarana pembelajaran IPA memiliki fungsi sangat penting dalam menfasilitasi peserta didik membangun kompetensi ilmiah. Oleh karena itu diperlukan manajemen yang tepat oleh pengelola yang memiliki kompetensi. Kegiatan workshop ini dilakukan untuk memperkuat kompetensi guru dalam optimalisasi fungsi laboratorium IPA. Kegiatan dilakukan dalam bentuk ceramah-tanya jawab, diskusi, praktik laboratorium berbasis inquiry dan latihan implementasi manajemen laboratorium di laboratorium sekolah. Peserta kegiatan sebanyak 19 orang guru IPA SMP di Kota Banjarmasin dan Kabupaten Banjar. Kegiatan workshop ini mampu memperkuat pengetahuan dan keterampilan guru SMP dalam pengelolaan laboratorium dan keterampilan merancang dan melaksanakan praktikum berbasis guided inquiry serta kemampuan menerapkan hasil workshop di laboratorium IPA sekolah. Peserta workshop sangat antusias selama mengikuti kegiatan dan merasa sangat terbantu dalam mengatasi kendala dan permasalahan yang dialami guru-guru IPA di sekolah masing-masing. Perlu perluasan peserta workshop di berbagai daerah agar mampu meningkatkan peran laboratorium dalam mendukung tujuan pembelajaran IPA yang meliputi pengetahuan, sikap dan keterampilan ilmiah peserta didik.The laboratory has a very important function as a means of science learning to facilitate students to build their scientific competences. Therefore, we need proper management which is performed by the competent laboratory managers. This workshop was conducted to strengthen the teachers’ competence in optimizing the functions of a science laboratory. The workshop methods including lectures, discussions, inquiry-based laboratory practices and implementation of school’s laboratory management. The participants were 19 junior high school science teachers in Banjarmasin City and Banjar Regency. This workshop was able to strengthen teachers’ knowledge and skills in mining school’s laboratory, teachers’ skills to design and implement guided inquiry-based practicum, and teachers’ ability to apply skills in managing science laboratory. The participants appear very enthusiastic during the workshop and they felt greatly helped in overcoming many laboratory obstacles and problems. It is necessary to expand the workshop’s participants in various regions in order to increase the role of laboratories in supporting science learning objectives which include scientific knowledge, attitudes, and skills of students.
The study was a pre-test -post test experimental control group design having a goal to examine the role of SQ3R strategy and mathematics prior ability (MPA) on students’ mathematical communication ability (MCA) and self regulated learning (SRL). The study involved 68 seventh grade students, a mathematical communication test, a mathematical SRL scale, and a perception on SQ3R strategy scale. The study found that on MCA, its Gain, and on SRL students getting treatment by SQ3R strategy attained better grades than the grades of students taught by conventional teaching, but the grades of MCA were still at low level, and of SRL the grades were at medium level. The other findings, there was high association between MCA and SRL, and students performed high perception toward SQ3R strategy.
Various efforts to develop education which related to quality of education were overall implemented by the government to enhance quality of education. The implementation of compatible method was an effort to improve learning achievement and accomplish learning goals. Peer tutoring is a group of students who have completed learning material then provide assistance for others who got difficulty in understanding the material. From the research result were obtained, (1) Sig. 0,011 = Ho was rejected means there was difference in students learning result in mathematic lesson by using peer tutoring method compare with conventional learning method; (2) Sig. 0,002 = Ho was rejected means there was difference in problem solving communication skill in mathematic lesson by using peer tutoring method compare with conventional learning method; (3) Sig. 0,043 = Ho was rejected means there was difference in problem solving comprehension skill in mathematic lesson by using peer tutoring method compare with conventional learning method. From the data, it can be concluded that students learning result using peer tutoring method was more effective. It was because, this method demanded students to be more active in learning process either individual or overall.
This study was a pretest-posttest designed control group experiment, aimed at reviewing the role of inductive-deductive approach on Islamic Junior High School students’ skills in mathematical problem solving and self efficacy. This research involved 56 grade eight students, a set of problem solving ability tests and a set of self efficacy scale. The result found that in the extent of mathematical problem solving skills and self efficacy, students who received problem solving-based learning achieved better quality than students who received conventional learning, either overall or based on the early mathematical ability (EMA). The interaction between learning and EMA in achieving and increasing problem solving skill showed no significant difference. Other than that, we found robust association between mathematical problem solving skills and self efficacy.
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.
