PROKRASTINASI AKADEMIK DAN PEMBELAJARAN IPS PADA JENJANG SMP

Academic procrastination is a psychological phenomenon that frequently occurs in educational settings, including Social Studies learning at the junior high school level. This study aims to analyze the relationship between academic procrastination and Social Studies learning, as well as the factors influencing students' tendency to delay academic tasks. The research employs a literature review method with a thematic synthesis approach, examining previous studies on academic procrastination, Social Studies education, and effective learning strategies. The findings indicate that internal factors such as low motivation, poor self-regulation skills, and academic anxiety significantly contribute to procrastination. Additionally, external factors such as non-interactive teaching methods, lack of environmental support, and mismatches between learning strategies and students' learning styles also exacerbate procrastination levels. The implications of this study highlight the need for more innovative and interactive learning strategies, such as discussion-based approaches, case studies, problem-based projects, and the integration of technology to enhance student engagement and reduce procrastination tendencies.Prokrastinasi akademik merupakan fenomena psikologis yang sering terjadi di lingkungan pendidikan, termasuk pembelajaran Ilmu Pengetahuan Sosial (IPS) di tingkat Sekolah Menengah Pertama (SMP). Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis hubungan antara prokrastinasi akademik dengan pembelajaran IPS, serta faktor-faktor yang mempengaruhi kecenderungan siswa dalam menunda tugas-tugas akademik. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode tinjauan literatur dengan pendekatan sintesis tematik, dengan mengkaji penelitian-penelitian terdahulu mengenai prokrastinasi akademik, pendidikan Ilmu Pengetahuan Sosial, dan strategi pembelajaran yang efektif. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa faktor internal seperti motivasi yang rendah, kemampuan pengaturan diri yang buruk, dan kecemasan akademik berkontribusi secara signifikan terhadap penundaan. Selain itu, faktor eksternal seperti metode pengajaran yang tidak interaktif, kurangnya dukungan lingkungan, dan ketidaksesuaian antara strategi pembelajaran dengan gaya belajar siswa juga memperburuk tingkat penundaan. Implikasi dari penelitian ini menyoroti perlunya strategi pembelajaran yang lebih inovatif dan interaktif, seperti pendekatan berbasis diskusi, studi kasus, proyek berbasis masalah, dan integrasi teknologi untuk meningkatkan keterlibatan siswa dan mengurangi kecenderungan menunda-nunda.

OPTIMALISASI KINERJA TEKNIS PENGELOLAAN DAERAH IRIGASI SALURAN INDUK MADIUN KABUPATEN MADIUN

Ulo Secondary Canal which has an irrigation area of 1,352 ha is one of the secondary canals in the Madiun Main Canal. Ulo Secondary Canal is supplied by three dams namely Semawur Dam, Jati Dam and Gondrok Dam which are located in Madiun Regency. The Madiun Main Canal Irrigation Area has been rehabilitated in 2019, and has been completed in 2022. The Madiun Main Irrigation Channel area is still in need of water. The methods used to calculate water requirements are Climatology Method, FJ. Mock Method, and Water Balance Method. From the calculation, it is known that the condition before rehabilitation, the value of water availability cannot fulfill agricultural water needs in the Ulo Secondary Canal area. In conditions before rehabilitation, the supply from Jati Dam is 18% with a value between 0.43 m3/s - 0.72 m3/s, coupled with water withdrawal at the Semawur Dam intake of 0.06 m3/s and water withdrawal at the Gondrok Dam intake of 0.07 m3/s. The existing water availability can only fulfill the needs of the cropping pattern of paddy (20%) - crops (40%) - crops (45%), with the smallest residual discharge value of 0.09 m3/s in April III. After rehabilitation, the supply value of Jati Dam is 15% with a value between 2.17 m3/s - 2.72 m3/s, with water withdrawal at the Semawur Dam intake of 0.06 m3/s and water withdrawal at the Gondrok Dam intake of 0.07 m3/s.The percentage value after rehabilitation is smaller than before rehabilitation but the value of water supply is bigger. Based on these conditions, several alternative cropping patterns are planned, such as Paddy (100%) - Crops (100%) - Crops (100%), Paddy (100%) - Paddy (100%) - Crops (100%) and Paddy (100%) - Paddy (100%) - Paddy (100%) with a profit amounting to IDR 6,415,515,780.00 in conditions before rehabilitation and after rehabilitation, on alternative III with a cropping pattern of paddy (100%) - paddy (100%) - paddy (100%) obtained the highest profit amounting to IDR 62,144,490,720.00

Is online reading as effective and meaningful as offline reading?

This paper aims to examine whether an online reading class is as effective and meaningful as an offline one. Participants were 46 first-year students taking an English for Psychology subject. Quantitative data collection and analyses were employed. The quantitative data were derived from the analysis of their pre-test and post-test results, as well as open-ended questionnaires. Online reading class provides students with extensive opportunities and a distraction from learning. It also requires computer access, an internet connection, and good electronic literacy. Offline reading class, in comparison, requires students to focus merely on the ongoing classroom activity and offer direct face-to-face interaction with peers and the teacher. The results of the pre-test and post-test indicate an increase score of 1.3 % for students joining the online reading class and 18.7 % for students joining the offline reading class. It means that both offline and online reading classes offer similar opportunities to succeed
