Teachers' Perceptions of the Implementation of Scaffolding-Metacognitive Strategies in Mathematics Learning

Scaffolding-metacognitive is a strategy to help students understand mathematical material, but some teachers do not yet understand the extent to which they can use the metacognitive scaffolding strategy in the learning process. This study aims to determine teachers' perceptions of the implementation of scaffolding-metacognitive strategies in mathematics learning in secondary schools. Scaffolding-metacognitive strategies, combining step-by-step teaching with the development of students' awareness and control of their thinking processes, Scaffolding-metacognitive strategies are an effective approach to improving students' understanding of complex mathematical concepts and critical thinking skills. This study used a qualitative descriptive method and the participants consisted of 15 mathematics teachers from several high schools in Makassar City and Gowa Regency. Data were collected through in-depth interviews and direct observation during the learning process. We used the Miles & Huberman analysis framework to analyze the collected data, namely: (1) data reduction; (2) data interpretation and condensation; (3) verification and drawing conclusions.. The results of data analysis showed that 60% of teachers did not understand the scaffolding-metacognitive strategy, teachers mentioned several implementation challenges, such as the difficulty of adapting strategies to students' different abilities and limited time to plan and implement learning. In addition, teachers must estimate students' actual and potential knowledge so that teachers can provide scaffolding according to students' needs. Teachers need further support and training to overcome the challenges they face when implementing scaffolding-metacognitive strategies. This research makes an important contribution to the development of more effective educational policies and teacher training programs to improve the quality of mathematics education in secondary schools

PELATIHAN PEMBUATAN KERAJINAN TANGAN SUSIRU DI DESA MIRA KEPULAUAN MOROTAI

Abstract. Mira Village is famous for its strong culture. The culture of Mira Village is the result of inheritance from ancestors, such as marriage culture, celebrations and handicrafts. The craftsmen in Mira Village produce a variety of crafts that are culturally valuable and also authentically typical of North Maluku. One of them is a typical North Maluku handicraft made from bamboo, namely susuru. Based on the importance of preserving local culture and the need for suriu craftsmen which are becoming increasingly scarce, training activities for making susiru handicrafts were initiated by Khairun University. This activity received funding from the Ministry of Education and Culture for Community Service in 2023 through the Community Empowerment by Students (PMM) scheme. The training will be held in August 2023 in 5 meetings. The initial activity location was at the Mira Village hall and the next meeting was at the residents' homes. The target of this activity is Mira Village housewives. The aim of this activity is to provide basic training in making susiru so that it is hoped that public interest can increase and increase the number of susiru craftsmen in Mira Village. The result of this activity is an increase in community understanding and skills. After this activity was completed, there were 5 craftsmen who were active in making susuru handicrafts.Abstrak.

Nanoparticles and Nanoliposomes for Hair Growth Serum

Solubility in penetrating the follicles is the main obstacle in the formulation of hair growth serum preparation with chemicals derived from natural or synthetic materials. Therefore, a delivery system is needed to deliver more chemical compounds into the follicles. Nanoparticles and nanoliposomes are potential chemical compound delivery systems in hair growth serum. Specifically, nanoparticles with a particle size of less than 200 nm can increase the transport of serum chemical compounds into the scalp. The small particle size makes the interaction between atoms and molecules faster and prevents clumping with the repulsive force of dispersed particles. Meanwhile, nanoliposomes with lipids as encapsulation in the delivery of lipophilic or hydrophilic chemical compounds with nanosizes can significantly increase serum diffusion on the scalp

Manajemen of independent curriculum teaching modules with style materials

Educational achievement in Education for Sustainable Development (EfSD) demands fair and equitable education. This condition gives rise to various preparations that must be taken into account by teaching staff through program plans and strategies designed to achieve the quality of education as regulated in the curriculum. The aim of the research is to examine the conditions for implementing EfSD in elementary schools through the management of learning modules. The research uses the Research and Development or R&D method with the ADDIE model. The research begins with an analysis stage consisting of analysis of problems, needs and curriculum, teachers and students. The design stage takes the form of resource management and management of material aspects through the development of independent curriculum teaching modules. At this stage, a validation test was carried out by material experts and practitioners which resulted in an average of 94.48%. Then the implementation or trial phase was limited to 10 students, the test was extensive on 22 grade 4 students. The evaluation stage aims to determine the suitability of the independent curriculum teaching module product for use in schools. The test results showed that student responses were limited to 87.87% and broadly 93.24%. It can be concluded that the development of teaching modules attracts students to learn according to their characteristics, skills and interests

The Effect Of Annealing Temperature On The Properties Of Thin Zno Films Deposited Using Microwave-Assisted Spray Pyrolysis System

This research aims to determine the optimal annealing temperature for the production of ZnO thin films using the microwave-assisted spray pyrolysis method. In the ZnO growth process, a high microwave temperature was used, with a spray pressure of 20 kg/m2, a nozzle distance of 12 cm, 3 layers, a spray duration of 5 seconds, and a 1-minute interval between layers. Annealing temperature variations included 300°C, 350°C, 400°C, 450°C, 500°C, 550°C, and 600°C. SEM results indicated that the best morphology was achieved at 400°C, with the smoothest and least cracked surface. EDX results showed the highest ZnO composition percentage at 450°C, which was 93.61%.The optical properties obtained from UV-Vis spectroscopy revealed the lowest absorption in the visible light wavelength range (400-700 nm) at an annealing temperature of 450°C. Furthermore, the highest transmittance and the lowest bandgap were observed at an annealing temperature of 450°C, measuring 90.77% and 3.00 eV, respectively. Crystal property analysis from XRD data revealed that all samples had a hexagonal wurtzite structure. The best crystal index was achieved at 450°C, with a value of 81.899%. Increasing the annealing temperature improved the crystal properties, as evidenced by a decreasing full width half maximum (FWHM) until 450°C, which was 0.476°
