The use of learning materials in accordance with the characteristics and students learning environment is one key to the success of integrated science learning. Comic and Jember's local wisdom can be used as learning materials in accordance with the characteristics of the student, interesting, and close to the students learning environment. This study conducted to describe the learning outcomes obtained with the use of comic and Jember's local wisdom as integrated science learning materials on the level of junior high school. The study design was quantitative descriptive with 35 samples of seventh grade junior high school (MTs Bustanul Ulum), Panti sub-district, Jember, Indonesia. The results obtained showed that the learning outcomes of students meet classical completeness of 85.7 % with an average value of 80.17 % and high category. This shows that utilizing of comic and Jember's local wisdom is an effective tools in teaching integrated science. This learning tools improved students performance and motivated them to learn.
Education needs to emphasize more attention to environmental issues. The school is an active place to provide actual knowledge, skills, attitudes, and behavior towards environmental issues such as global warming dan the greenhouse effect. This study aimed to investigate seventh-grade students' cognition in the context of a climate system. This study was descriptive, involving the collection of qualitative data. These qualitative data were then analyzed for their content inductively to identify concepts and patterns of student responses. This study indicated that students believed that global warming caused by six factors involving the greenhouse effect, depletion of the ozone layer, fossil fuel usage, forest fires, use of chemicals, and industrial air pollution. Also, they convinced six segments of the global warming impacts: ocean, soil, air, plants and animals, humans, and weather and season changes. The student thought about the climate system was substantially linear, where the contribution of human activities caused global warming that finally have an impact on humans themselves.
Indonesia is a multicultural country with a variety of cultures, one of which is Reog Ponorogo. Reog Ponorogo is a traditional dance passed down from generation to generation as a culture and identity of the Ponorogo society. Unfortunately, many people considered that Reog Ponorogo only as entertainment that does not contain scientific concepts. This research investigates physics concepts, especially Newton’s Law in Dadhak Merak dance of Reog Ponorogo. This research used the content analysis method involving unitizing, sampling, recording, reducing, inferring, and narrating. The result indicated that Newton’s First Law came up in the inertial frame of the Dadhak Merak. Newton’s Second Law is shown in the acceleration changes influenced by the mass and force of Pembarong. Newton’s Third Law is related to the dancer’s reaction force and the ground that raises a lateral force to the Dadhak Merak dance. This research is expected to contribute as a source of information on the development of contextual teaching and learning physics material.
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.
