Efektifitas Penggunaan Bahan Ajar Berbasis Kontekstual Berbantuan Video Pembelajaran Untuk SMK Teknik Mesin pada Materi Elektrokimia

Keterbatasan waktu, bahan ajar dan penyampaian materi yang bersifat teoritis dan tidak relevan merupakan permasalahan pembelajaran kimia di SMK. Tujuan penelitian pengembangan ini adalah menghasilkan bahan ajar berbasis kontekstual berbantuan video pembelajaran pada materi elektrokimia yang layak dan mengetahui efektifitas bahan ajar pada pembelajaran kimia di SMK Teknik Mesin. Metode pengembangan bahan ajar menggunakan model 4D dari Thiagarajan et al, hanya sampai tiga tahap. Hasil penilaian kelayakan oleh ahli isi sebesar 88,75 90% (sangat layak) dan ahli media pembelajaran sebesar 89,25% (sangat layak). Uji efektifitas menunjukkan bahwa bahan ajar tersebut efektif meningkatkan hasil belajar dibanding dengan bahan ajar lain

Learning Race and Ethnicity: Hip-Hop 2.0

Part of the Volume on Learning Race and Ethnicity: Youth and Digital Media In the twenty-first century, a hip hop music label becomes an indispensable source for learning: a young person's resource for information otherwise suppressed by industry regulation, federally censored, or not considered "news worthy" across corporate broadcast modes of distribution. This chapter, "Hip Hop 2.0," examines how hip hop music label Web sites (Guerrillafunk.com and Slamjamz.com) provide an educational space where young people can interact, learn, and discuss "real world" problems via their commitments to popular culture. These internet music labels "sell" more than music. They broaden how cultural entrepreneurial production and innovative citizen initiatives can be re-interpreted by non-broadcast based media, while constituting a counter-public sphere for political activism and learning through networked digital media. Through these practices, we may witness the realization of the Internet's democratizing possibility at a time when these freedoms are not ensured, both off and online

Learning Race and Ethnicity

An exploration of how issues of race and ethnicity play out in a digital media landscape that includes MySpace, post-9/11 politics, MMOGs, Internet music distribution, and the digital divide.It may have been true once that (as the famous cartoon of the 1990s put it) “Nobody knows you're a dog on the Internet,” and that (as an MCI commercial of that era declared) on the Internet there is no race, gender, or infirmity, but today, with the development of web cams, digital photography, cell phone cameras, streaming video, and social networking sites, this notion seems quaintly idealistic. This volume takes up issues of race and ethnicity in the new digital media landscape. The contributors address this topic—still difficult to engage honestly, clearly, empathetically, and with informed understanding in twenty-first century America—with the goal of pushing consideration of a vexing but important subject from margin to center. Learning Race and Ethnicity explores the intersection of race and ethnicity with post 9/11 politics, online hate-speech practices, and digital youth and media cultures. It examines universal access and the racial and ethnic digital divide from the perspective of digital media learning and youth. The chapters treat such subjects as racial identity in the computer-mediated public sphere, minority technology innovators, new methods of music distribution, digital artist Judy Baca's work with youth, Native American digital media literacy, and minority youth technology access and the pervasiveness of online health information.
