Penggunaan Media Power Point Dalam Pembelajaran Fiqih Ibadah Kelas Vii Di Madrasah Tsanawiyah Negeri 2 Surakarta

In teaching and learning activities, the materials delivered can be supported by presenting the media as an intermediary of the complexity of the material itself. The use of power point media in learning plays an important role as a tool to create effective learning activities, because power point media is used to help teachers in making the learning process more effective and efficient for students. MTs Negeri 2 Surakarta is a school whose all classrooms are completed by projectors. The use of power point in learning Fiqh Ibadah facilitates teachers in conveying the material Fiqh Ibadah and students in understanding the lesson Fiqh Ibadah. For this reason, the author conducts research entitled "The Use of Media Power Point in Learning Fiqh Ibadah of VII grade in Madrasah Tsanawiyah Negeri 2 Surakarta" The problem statements of the study include: (1) How is the process of using power point media in learning Fiqh Ibadah of VII grade in MTs Negeri 2 Surakarta? (2) What are the obstacles in using the power point media in Fiqh Ibadah subject of VII grade in MTs Negeri 2 Surakarta? Therefore, the objectives of the study are to know and describe the use of power point media and barriers to the use of power point media in learning Fiqh Ibadah of VII grade. This research uses field research method by using qualitative approach, by taking background in MTs Negeri 2 Surakarta. Subjects in this study were the principal, teachers and students of MTs Negeri 2 Surakarta. The data collection methods used in this research are interview, observation and documentation. Data analysis used is descriptive qualitative data analysis, that is collected data contains data quotation to describe in the form of words. The results of this study shows that the use of power point media in learning Fiqh Ibadah of VII grade in MTs Negeri 2 Surakarta is very suitable and effective. Hence, it can be easier for students in understanding, mastering and gaining the material taught by the teacher clearly. Besides, what is presented by teachers can be practiced by students. While the obstacles encountered in the use of power point media in learning Fiqh Ibadah of VII geade in MTs Negeri 2 Surakarta is the existence of equipment damage and blackouts, this will hamper the learning. And if the power point does not attract students less respond well. Keywords: The use of power point media, in learning Fiqh Ibadah, VII Grade student

Developing policies for the end-of-life of energy infrastructure: Coming to terms with the challenges of decommissioning

Energy sector policies have focused historically on the planning, design and construction of energy infrastructures, while typically overlooking the processes required for the management of their end-of-life, and particularly their decommissioning. However, decommissioning of existing and future energy infrastructures is constrained by a plethora of technical, economic, social and environmental challenges that must be understood and addressed if such infrastructures are to make a net-positive contribution over their whole life. Here, we introduce the magnitude and variety of these challenges to raise awareness and stimulate debate on the development of reasonable policies for current and future decommissioning projects. Focusing on power plants, the paper provides the foundations for the interdisciplinary thinking required to deliver an integrated decommissioning policy that incorporates circular economy principles to maximise value throughout the lifecycle of energy infrastructures. We conclude by suggesting new research paths that will promote more sustainable management of energy infrastructures at the end of their life

What should be recycled: An integrated model for product recycling desirability

This research was focused on developing a new scientific approach for prioritising recycling of end-of-life products in a circular economy. To date, product complexity based on the mixture of materials has been used as a predictor of what gets recycled. While the separation of materials that make up a product has been modelled as a measure of product complexity, this does not taken into account the benefits and considerations in recycling products. In this paper, a new agenda and approach to prioritise the recycling of products was developed based on a recycling desirability index. The material mixing complexity measure was inverted into a simplicity index and then extended by modelling the security index for the mix of materials and the technological readiness level of recycling technologies. The extended model is proposed as an integrated measure of the desirability of recycling end-of-life products. From this analysis, an apparent recycling desirability boundary, enabling products to be prioritised for recycling, was developed. This model and analysis can be used as an information source in developing policies and product recycling priorities

Thirty years of North American wind energy acceptance research: What have we learned?

Thirty years of North American research on public acceptance of wind energy has produced important insights, yet knowledge gaps remain. This review synthesizes the literature, revealing the following lessons learned. (1) North American support for wind has been consistently high. (2) The NIMBY explanation for resistance to wind development is invalid. (3) Socioeconomic impacts of wind development are strongly tied to acceptance. (4) Sound and visual impacts of wind facilities are strongly tied to annoyance and opposition, and ignoring these concerns can exacerbate conflict. (5) Environmental concerns matter, though less than other factors, and these concerns can both help and hinder wind development. (6) Issues of fairness, participation, and trust during the development process influence acceptance. (7) Distance from turbines affects other explanatory variables, but alone its influence is unclear. (8) Viewing opposition as something to be overcome prevents meaningful understandings and implementation of best practices. (9) Implementation of research findings into practice has been limited. The paper also identifies areas for future research on wind acceptance. With continued research efforts and a commitment toward implementing research findings into developer and policymaker practice, conflict and perceived injustices around proposed and existing wind energy facilities might be significantly lessened

Teacher educators’ collaboration in subject departments:collaborative activities and social relations

Teacher educators’ collaboration plays an important role in the improvement of teacher education. Many studies in educational research focus on collaboration from 1 particular perspective. A focus on 2 perspectives, a qualitative (focusing on collaborative activities) as well as a quantitative (focusing on relations) perspective, and relating both perspectives, can add to our knowledge. Data were collected in 3 subject departments of a teacher education institute. Findings indicated that educators’ collaborative networks inside the departments could gain from more coherent and dense relations, and that key players were important to support and sustain collaboration. Both perspectives were mildly related, correlations were found for “degree” and “information” (r = .31, p < .05), “degree” and “joint work” (r = .38, p < .01), and “reciprocity” and “joint work” (r = .33, p < .05), no correlations were found for “degree” or “reciprocity” and “discussing”. At the department level, only mathematics showed significant correlations. Results indicated that, in further research, qualitative aspects as well as quantitative aspects should be included

Werken met docentontwikkelteams

Vanuit het wetenschapsknooppunt Brabant faciliteerde de TU/Eindhoven de afgelopen jaren een aantal docentontwikkelteams in het primair- en in het voortgezet onderwijs. Niet alleen om hun curriculum op het gebied van wetenschap en technologie te versterken, maar ook om kennis en inzicht te krijgen in het leren van de leraren in deze teams. De hamvraag daarbij was of leraren in zo’n team tot leren komen en onder welke condities dat dan gebeurt. Om deze vraag te kunnen beantwoorden werd parallel aan het docentontwikkelteamproject een onderzoeksproject opgezet
