PEMBELAJARAN SEJARAH BERBASIS MULTIKULTURAL UNTUK EDUKASI PERDAMAIAN (STUDI KASUS DI UNIVERSITAS SAMUDRA, KOTA LANGSA)

Masyarakat multikultur Aceh belum pada kondisi state of being peace akibat pergolakan masa lalu. Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis multikulturalisme dan edukasi perdamaian dalam proses kegiatan pembelajaran sejarah. Pertanyaan penelitian adalah: (1) bagaimana persepsi dosen dan mahasiswa terhadap nilai-nilai multikulturalisme, (2) bagaimana perencanaan pembelajaran sejarah berbasis nilai multikultural sebagai edukasi perdamaian, (3) bagaimana evaluasi pembelajaran sejarah berbasis nilai multikultural sebagai edukasi perdamaian, (4) bagaimana pelaksanaan pembelajarannya (5) bagaimana evaluasinya, dan (6) Bagaimana hambatannya.Pendekatan penelitian ini adalah kualitatif, dengan desain embedded case study. Analisis data melalui dua paradigma, yakni: critical discourse analysis (CDA), dan interaktif. CDA berperan untuk menggali makna baik berasal dari teks pekerjaan dan makna yang diucapkan. Dengan landasan itu dapat diketahui pemikiran mereka.Hasil penelitian menunjukkan: (1) Multikulturalisme dipandang dosen dan mahasiswa sebagai ideologi yang berpegang pada keberagaman etnisitas, etnoreligiusitas, dan etnokultural. (2) Sintak pembelajaran meliputi apersepsi, eksplorasi, elaborasi, konfirmasi, yang dalam proses kegiatan pembelajaran dibingkai dengan strategi ENACT (exploring, narrowing, analyzing, creating dan teaching). (3) Evaluasi meliputi aspek materi ajar dan penilaian diperoleh reratanya 4,58; penilaian sintak diperoleh reratanya 4,68; penilaian rencana pelaksanaan pembelajaran diperoleh reratanya 4,65; penilaian evaluasi pembelajaran diperoleh reratanya 4,53; (4) Dalam pelaksanaan exploring dituntut penggalian data historis; proses penyempitan data pada narrowing menghasilkan tema bahasan baru yang lebih spesifik; analyzing adalah menganalisis tema bahasan baru secara mendalam; creating menemukan temuan argumentatif dari tema bahasan baru yang diuraikan dalam kertas kerja mereka; dan teaching adalah kompetensi mengartikulasikan temuan-temuan dalam forum di kelas (5) Ketercapaian ENACT menunjukkan adanya peningkatan kompetensi kognitif dan afektif, terutama kompetensi melihat realitas historis masyarakat Aceh yang multicultural, serta pemahaman pentingnya perdamanaian, dan; (6) Hambatan pembelajaran ini adalah keterbatasan sumber primer, kesulitan dalam menyempitkan tema bahasan menjadi tema bahasan baru, misalnya: ada kesamaan tema, kesulitan analisis baik berkaitan dengan teks dan konteks. Hambatan ini dibuktikan dari kuantitas mahasiswa yang memenuhi ancangan CDA yaitu sejumlah 30 mahasiswa serta temuan mahasiswa sejumlah enam temua

The bacterial composition within the Sarracenia purpurea model system: local scale differences and the relationship with the other members of the food web

The leaves of the carnivorous pitcher plant, Sarracenia purpurea, contain a microscopic aquatic food web that is considered a model system in ecological research. The species identity of the intermediate and top trophic level of this food web, as well the detritivore midge, are highly similar across the native geographic range of S. purpurea and, in some cases, appear to have co-evolved with the plant. However, until recently, the identity, geographic variation, and diversity of the bacteria in the bottom trophic level of this food web have remained largely unknown. This study investigated bacterial community composition inside the leaves of S. purpurea to address: 1) variation in bacterial communities at the beginning of succession at the local scale in different areas of the plant’s native geographic range (southern and mid-regional sites) and 2) the impacts of bacterial consumers and other members of the aquatic food web (i.e., insects) on bacterial community structure. Communities from six leaves (one leaf per plant) from New York and Florida study sites were analyzed using 16S ribosomal RNA gene cloning. Each pitcher within each site had a distinct community; however, there was more overlap in bacterial composition within each site than when communities were compared across sites. In contrast, the identity of protozoans and metazoans in this community were similar in species identity both within a site and between the two sites, but abundances differed. Our results indicate that, at least during the beginning of succession, there is no strong selection for bacterial taxa and that there is no core group of bacteria required by the plant to start the decomposition of trapped insects. Co-evolution between the plant and bacteria appears to not have occurred as it has for other members of this community

Gene Expression Correlates with Process Rates Quantified for Sulfate- and Fe(III)-Reducing Bacteria in U(VI)-Contaminated Sediments

Though iron- and sulfate-reducing bacteria are well known for mediating uranium(VI) reduction in contaminated subsurface environments, quantifying the in situ activity of the microbial groups responsible remains a challenge. The objective of this study was to demonstrate the use of quantitative molecular tools that target mRNA transcripts of key genes related to Fe(III) and sulfate reduction pathways in order to monitor these processes during in situ U(VI) remediation in the subsurface. Expression of the Geobacteraceae-specific citrate synthase gene (gltA) and the dissimilatory (bi)sulfite reductase gene (dsrA), were correlated with the activity of iron- or sulfate-reducing microorganisms, respectively, under stimulated bioremediation conditions in microcosms of sediments sampled from the U.S. Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge Integrated Field Research Challenge (OR-IFRC) site at Oak Ridge, TN, USA. In addition, Geobacteraceae-specific gltA and dsrA transcript levels were determined in parallel with the predominant electron acceptors present in moderately and highly contaminated subsurface sediments from the OR-IFRC. Phylogenetic analysis of the cDNA generated from dsrA mRNA, sulfate-reducing bacteria-specific 16S rRNA, and gltA mRNA identified activity of specific microbial groups. Active sulfate reducers were members of the Desulfovibrio, Desulfobacterium, and Desulfotomaculum genera. Members of the subsurface Geobacter clade, closely related to uranium-reducing Geobacter uraniireducens and Geobacter daltonii, were the metabolically active iron-reducers in biostimulated microcosms and in situ core samples. Direct correlation of transcripts and process rates demonstrated evidence of competition between the functional guilds in subsurface sediments. We further showed that active populations of Fe(III)-reducing bacteria and sulfate-reducing bacteria are present in OR-IFRC sediments and are good potential targets for in situ bioremediation

ESU First Gen Community Sprouts Knowledge: Navigating Middle School to College Bound Experiences

The College Bound ESU is a free program designed to connect local middle school students from JT Lambert Intermediate School and Stroudsburg Middle School, whose parents did not complete a 4-year college degree and provide them with the resources to be first generation college students. The program is a school day field trip to ESU campus where they learn about academic departments and college life for a total of 7 experiences. The program is comprised of visits to campus that will engage students by exploring interests and majors. Connecting students with Gen One college student mentors and experience college life. It also reinforces the importance and impact of high school academics. The goal is for the students to gain an appreciation and understand the benefits of a higher education degree. We also discuss how to better prepare students to understand how to get admitted and financial opportunities and pathways. Lastly, we want to demonstrate that college is an achievable goal
