The Importance of Needs Analysis in Materials Development

There is an issue which can be the subject of a further research that is: most learners of EFL do not actually have any needs at all. They are learning English because they have to rather than because they want or need to. This is particularly true of young learners, who are not going to need to communicate in English for many years to come (if at all). In such cases, the teacher is unlikely to be able to create much intrinsic motivation to learn English in general but can create the need in an engaging classroom task in which the students need to find a way of communicating in English in order to successfully complete the task. This can lead to readiness for acquisition provided the students are motivated by the teacher to read extensively as well. Thus, there should be more place for needs analysis because when we do not run the first principle to create and produce better materials, the rest will always be under great doubt. Every new teacher should consider starting their year applying needs analysis in small scales and then decide what the best is for themselves and their learners

Penerapan Model Problem Based Learning (Pbl) terhadap Kemampuan Komunikasi dan Kemampuan Pemecahan Masalah Matematika Siswa Sekolah Menengah Pertama Lubuklinggau

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh kemampuan komunikasi matematika dan pemecahan masalah matematika siswa yang diajarkan dengan model pembelajaran Problem Based Learning (PBL) dengan pembelajaran konvensional. Desain penelitian yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah Nonequivalent (pretest-posttest) Control-Group Design yang dilaksanakan pada semester ganji Tahun Pelajaran 2016-2017 di SMP Negeri 2 Lubuklinggau. Pengumpulan data dilakukan dengan menggunakan pretest dan posttest. Pengujian hipotesis dilakukan dengan menggunakan Uji Anava dua sisi. Hasil analisis data menunjukkan bahwa sig. > 0,05 artinya kemampuan komunikasi dan pemecahan masalah matematika siswa yang diajarkan dengan model pembelajaran PBL lebih baik dari kemampuan komunikasi dan pemecahan masalah matematika siswa yang diajarkan dengan pembelajaran konvensional. Sumbangan model pembelajaran PBL terhadap peningkatan kemampuan komunikasi sebesar 43% dan terhadap peningkatan kemampuan pemecahan masalah sebesar 58% dibandingkan dengan pembelajaran konvensional

Penerapan Model Pembelajaran Berbasis Masalah untuk Meningkatkan Keterampilan Berpikir Kritis

Pendidik merupakan salah satu faktor yang menunjang keberhasilan dalam pembelajaran, karena pendidik berperan secara langsung dengan anak didik dalam proses pembelajaran. Berdasarkan hasil survei yang dilakukan di Universitas Nahdlatul Ulama Lampung pada mahasiswa program studi pendidikan matematika semester 2 diketahui bahwa nilai keterampilan berpikir kritis mahamahasiswa masih rendah yaitu keterampilan analisis 24%, sintesis 32%, memecahkan masalah 24%, menyimpulkan 36%, dan evaluasi atau menilai 31%. Penelitian tindakan kelas ini bertujuan untuk meningkatkan keterampilan berpikir kritis mahasiswa dengan menerapkan model pembelajaran berbasis masalah. Penelitian ini dilaksanakan dalam dua siklus pembelajaran, satu tahapan siklus meliputi: perencanaan, pelaksanaan, observasi dan refleksi. Sebagai subjek dalam penelitian ini adalah mahasiswa program studi pendidikan matematika semester 2 tahun 2016 yang mengambil mata kuliah fisika dasar berjumlah 20 mahasiswa. Metode pengumpulan data keterampilan berpikir kritis menggunakan tes uraian, sedangkan data kegiatan pembelajaran berbasis masalah menggunakan lembar observasi. Hasil penelitian ini adalah dengan mengintegrasikan langkah pembelajaran berbasis masalah ke dalam keterampilan berpikir kritis, dapat meningkatkan keterampilan berpikir kritis mahasiswa pada keterampilan berpikir keterampilan analisis pada siklus I sebesar 44,44% dan pada siklus II 55,55% sehigga persentase peningkatannya sebesar 11,11%, keterampilan berpikir sintesis pada siklus I sebesar 42,22% dan pada siklus II 57,77% sehingga persentase peningkatannya sebesar 15,55%, keterampilan berpikir memecahkan masalah pada siklus I sebesar 32,22% dan pada siklus II 50% sehingga persentase peningkatannya sebesar 17,78%, keterampilan menyimpulkan sebesar pada siklus I 37,77% dan pada siklus II 51,11% sehingga persentase peningkatannya sebesar 13,34%, dan keterampilan mengevaluasi atau menilai pada siklus I sebesar 35,55% dan pada siklus II 50% sehingga persentase peningkatannya sebesar 14,45% pada pokok bahasan fluida statis mahasiswa Universitas Nahdlatul Ulama Lampung

Determniant Factors of Ovarium Cancer in Abdoel Moelok Hospital Lampung in 2015

Ovarian cancer at an early stage does not give complaints, while complaints arise at an advanced stage of cancer because of the spread of cancer, the spread of cancer in serous surface of the colon and ascites is a pain in the abdominal area, uncomfortable and feel full faster. Other symptoms that often arises is easily tired, belly bulge, frequent urination and shortness of breath, so that patients with ovarian cancer will experience a decrease in appetite, decreased activity due to fatigue. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship determinate factors of ovarian cancer. Design of this study was using analytic with cross sectional approach. The sample in this study were women who were treated in hospital Abdul Moelok at maternity room of 60 people, and measuring using questionnaire and checklist sheet. The results of the study there was no correlation between age and genetic with the incidence of ovarian cancer, and there is a relationship between pads, menarche, menopause and estrogen contraception and the incidence of ovarian cancer. Recommendations researchers are to reduce the use of dioxin pads and estrogen contraception in the long term

EFFECTS OF DRYING AND ENSILING METHODS ON CYANIDES CONTENTS AND CHEMICAL COMPONENTS OF CASSAVA ROOTS AND STEMS

The objectives of this experiment was to compare the drying and ensiling methods to reduce cyanides contents in cassava, as well as related nutrient components. This experiment used roots and stems of cas-sava, fermented juice of epiphytic lactic acid bacteria (FJLB) and molasses. A completely randomized design was used in this experiment for 8 treatments. The treatments were 30 o C incubator, 50 o C incubator, 70 o C oven drying, freeze drying, 2 d incubator 30 o C ensiling, 2 d incubator 50 o C ensiling, 2 w incubator 30 o C ensiling and 2 w incubator 50 o C ensiling. The contents of HCN, acetone cyanohydrin, linamarin, proximate components and in vitro dry matter digestibility were determined in each treatment. The result of this experi-ment showed that the contents of HCN and linamarin in ensiled cassava roots were lower (p<0.01) than in dried cassava roots. There were no significantly different on residual HCN among treatments in cassava stems. The content of linamarin was higher in freeze drying than that in heat drying methods (p<0.05). There was an opposite pattern of acetone cyanohydrins and linamarin content of roots and stems. The content of dry matter (DM) in 30 o C ensiling was lower than in 50 o C ensiling (p<0.05). The content of ash increased in cassava roots silage (p<0.01), meanwhile the decreasing of ether extract content was occured in cassava stem silage (p<0.01). Ensiling method was more effective to reduce cyanide than the drying method, and cassava silage showed a proper qualification as feed. Keywords: Drying, Ensiling, Cyanides, Cassav
