EFEKTIFITAS PENGGUNAAN MEDIA VIDEO BERBASIS LINGKUNGAN (MVBL) DALAMMENINGKATKAN PERILAKU POSITIF ANAK TERHADAP LINGKUNGAN

The positive attitude of students toward environment is the manifestation of a positive  attitude of students toward  the environment. The development of student  positive  attitude  toward  environment  can be gotten  through  the aplication of daily attitude  and the model  that student s catch and feel from the environment  where  student s live.  The students need to get the experiences and learn  by themselves with a possitive  attitude in order that they are accepted  by the environment and they  do not  do harm  their environment. The experiences  given to the student  should be prepared  to help them  to share, cooperate, respect, love renponsible,  and having  self confidance. This research aim at knowing  the difference of children’s  possitive attitude  toward environment at students who lern by using video media based environment  (VMBE). Will those who do not learn  by using video media  based  environment  (VMBE). Research  was aquasi  experimental  research with pretest and posttest control design. The data of students positive attitude  toward environment  were gotten  by using  observation  technique ( the observation of students  positive attitude improvement  ) The data of this research  were analyzed  by using the analysis of independent  sample t-test tecnique.The result of  analysis  can be  concluded as follows : with df : 16 at significant  level 0.05 showed that  there was  difference of students possitive attitude who learn by using  MVBL  than those  who did not  learn by using MVBL  (t=3.120)Keywords : VMBE, Possitive attitude toward environment

Good Practices in Instructional Process Among Current Educational Programs for Basic Education in Indonesia

Comparing the good practices in the area of teaching learning improvement, several points are raised here. The five programs covering teaching learning improvement component are MBE, CLCC, NTT-PEP, SEQIP, and CTL. Through a survey in seven provinces, data were collected from various bureaucrats, school practitioners, students, and their parents. Within the component of the teaching learning improvement there are several elements which are commonly available among the projects. Those elements are preparation of good teachers, provision and development of resources, and practice teaching learning activities are considered to be good practices

The family context as a foundation for romantic relationships: A person-centered multi-informant longitudinal study

This 8-wave person-centered multi-informant study tested whether the quality of parent-adolescent relationships predicted the romantic experiences of young adults and their partners (N = 374; 54.8% girls; Mage = 13.08 years, SDage = 0.48 at the first measurement wave). Perceptions of parent-adolescent relationships were assessed using adolescent, mother, and father reports. Results show that both young adults and their partners reported the highest levels of support, intimacy, and passion when young adults had an authoritative relationship quality with their parents. A distant parent-adolescent relationship quality, however, predicted the lowest support, intimacy, and passion in romantic relationships. Interestingly, the association between parent-adolescent relationships with the experience of young adults' romantic partners was indirect. Parent-adolescent relationships predicted target young adults' romantic relationship experiences, which predicted partners' romantic relationship experiences. Parent-child relationship quality therefore has far-reaching, yet subtle, effects on later romantic relationships, affecting both young adults and their partners

Root Biomass Estimation in Natural and Planted Mangrove

Belowground root biomass plays an essential role in the mangrove ecosystem as potential carbon storage, nutrient gain, or sediment accumulation yet is still overlooked. Therefore, estimation of root biomass is necessary. The objective was to determine and compare the belowground root biomass at the natural and planted mangrove ecosystem. We also measured the forest structure and the aboveground biomass. This study was conducted at four stations in Pramuka Island, Pari Island, Rambut Island (2 stations), Seribu Islands, Jakarta. The first island represented planted mangroves, whereas the latter two as natural stems. Rhizophora stylosa was the dominant species in three stations except for Rambut Island 2 that dominated by Ceriops Tagal. Stand densities were 2730±5 stems ha-1, 1733±5 stems ha-1, 1311±2 stems ha-1, and 1300±2 stems ha-1 for Pramuka Island, Pari Island, Rambut Island 1 and 2. The highest pile density was counted in Rambut Island 2 for 1612±8 stems ha-1 and the lowest in Pramuka Island (780±5 stems ha-1). The aboveground biomass was estimated as follows 109.13±11.91 Mg ha-1 in Pari Island, 89.45±19.53 in Rambut Island 2, 68.41±17.12 Mg ha-1 in Rambut Island 1, and 14.05±5.74 Mg ha-1 in Pramuka Island. Belowground root biomass in planted mangrove Pramuka Island (3.63±0.82 Mg ha-1) and the other two natural mangroves Pari Island (6.56±0.47 Mg ha-1) and Rambut Island 1 (7.17±0.81 Mg ha-1), were similar except for Rambut Island 2 (49.23±6.77 Mg ha-1). The contribution of root biomass ranges from 6-24% of the total biomass of mangrove trees, whereas the fine roots (< 2 mm) biomass occurred 28-74% in the entire root biomass. The results confirm the high contribution of belowground root biomass to the total biomass pool and the importance of maintaining the planted mangrove as a part of ecosystem rehabilitation
