This study aims to (1) produce an android application 'let's wash your hands' to teach body hygiene in science lesson content in elementary schools (2) determine the value of product feasibility. This type of research is research and development. This study uses a 4d model. This model consists of four steps; (1) define, (2) design, (3) development, and (4) disseminate. Product validation is calculated based on the results of expert assessments. The results of this research and development are (1) an android application with the topic of 'washing hands' (2) the media developed has a good feasibility value. Based on these findings, it shows that the 'let's wash your hands' android application is feasible to use in learning.
This study aims to analyze the science competencies in the JHS (Junior High Schools) which is integrated to disaster mitigation education (earthquake, tsunami, and volcano) in the School-Based Curriculum (KTSP) and the revised 2013 Curriculum in shaping a disaster response character. This study focuses on operational competencies that are potential to be integrated with disaster mitigation education, especially geological disasters. This was a library research analyzing any issues (problems) based on supporting literature reviewed. The data were collected through documentation, observation, and recorded findings that support to the research focus. As many as 40 science teachers and all documents of the implementation of the KTSP and revised-2013 Curriculum were involved in this study. Then the data were analyzed using a coding technique according to the components of the research focus and described qualitatively. The results of the study show that the number of science-competencies which have the potential to be integrated with disaster mitigation education is considered low compared to the whole of Science competencies that students must achieve. 0.48 % of science-competencies in JHS are potential to be integrated with disaster mitigation education. These competencies are 0.72 % in grade VII, 0.25% in grade VIII, and 0.5% in grade IX. These findings indicate that the contents of the curriculum have not been considered as a means of instilling the natural disaster response character
Keywords:Textbook, JHS, MTs, science, disaster risk reduction, K-13.Textbooks are one of the learning resources that are widely used by students and teachers. Analyzing the contents of a textbooks is a way that can be done to assess the quality of the book. This research aims to determine the content of the revised K-13 science textbook grade VII SMP/MTs which is appropriate for integrated disaster risk reduction learning in schools. The emphasized disaster is a disaster that often occur in Indonesia. This research used document analysis method. Data were collected based on a systematic review of documents and supporting evidence in the form of research on disaster risk reduction in science learning in SMP/MTs. Data were analyzed by using descriptive analysis based on research focus. This research was conducted by analyzing two books from the government and non-government. The result of research shows that there are 19.05% sub material in the science books from the government and 17.2% of non-government that integrated disaster risk reduction. From the result, it can be seen that the content in grade VII SMP/MTs science textbooks on disaster risk reduction is still lack, so it is necessary to add content related to disaster mitigation to the science book grade VII SMP / MTs.
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.
