The use of small group and pair work in classrooms, particularly in second language (L2) classrooms, rests onstrong theoretical and pedagogical bases. This research was aimed at finding out: (1) whether or notCollaborative Writing Technique is more effective than Direct Instruction in teaching writing ofargumentative essay; (2) whether the students who have high creativity have better writing ability than thosewho have low creativity; and (3) whether there is an interaction between teaching techniques and creativity in teaching writing. This experimental research was carried out in IKIP PGRI Bojonegoro in the academic year of 2014/2015 from March 2015 to June 2015. The population was the fourth semester students of English Education Department in the academic year of 2014/2015, and the number of population was 126 students who were divided into three classes. The samples, which were selected by using cluster random sampling, were IIB as the experimental group and IIA as the control group. Each group consists of 42 students. Theexperimental group was treated by using Collaborative Writing Technique, while the control group wastreated by using Direct Instruction.

Accumulation and partitioning of total phenols in two varieties of Labisia pumila Benth. under manipulation of greenhouse irradiance

Two varieties of Labisia pumila (var. pumila and alata) were exposed to four levels of greenhouse irradiance (100, 70, 50, 30% of the incoming radiation (IR); equivalent to respective 670, 630, 470, 240 μmol m-2 s -1) in a 2-factorial Randomized Complete Block Design trial with the aim to determine the existence of varietal preferences in total phenols (TP) accumulation and their distribution to different organs (leaf, stem, root) due to manipulation in irradiance levels. TP were determined according to Folin-Ciocalteu method and results expressed in mg Gallic acid g-1 dry weight (DW). Total phenolic content in red var. alata consistently recorded lower values (p≤0.0001) than green var. pumila when exposed to high irradiance (100-70% IR) by 4.5-6.6%. Reducing irradiance to 50% IR; however, increased TP in red higher than green var. by 39.2% (10.96 vs. 7.87 mg GAE g-1 DW) due to marked increase (p≤0.0001) in phenols partitioning to the leaf of red var. compared to green var. (4.6 vs. 3.0 mg g"). Partitioning of phenols to the leaf in red var. alata, although kept increasing (6.5% over green var.), did not continue to enhance plant TP with further decrease in irradiance to 30% IR. Instead TP partitioning to the stem and root in green var. pumila exceeded substantially over red var. alata by 11.8-18.4%, respectively, implying there are varietal preferences between var. pumila and alata in terms of TP accumulation and partitioning related to varying levels of irradiance. Although both varieties are shade loving, var. alata was more sensitive to high irradiance than var. pumila in accumulation of TP in the plants and that manipulation of irradiance in controlled environment agriculture was able to enhance partitioning of phenols to different parts or organs of Labisia pumila for potential niche production of plant parts

Kepraktisan buku ajar berbasis higher order thinking skills (HOTS) pada mata kuliah pembelajaran matematika di sekolah dasar

Guru memiliki andil besar dalam mengarahkan agar siswa memiliki kemampuan matematika meliputi berpikir kritis, kreatif, kolaboratif dan komunikatif. Hal inilah yang melatarbelakangi untuk mempersiapkan mahasiswa PGSD sebagai calon guru di masa yang akan datang agar dapat mengembangan kemampuan tersebut pada siswa di SD, salah satunya dengan mengembangkan buku ajar berbasis Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS).

Rasio Input Energi dan Volume Reaktan pada Penerapan Ultrasonik untuk Pengolahan Biodiesel

The application of ultrasonic on biodiesel processing can increase the reaction rate and improve theconversion of plant oils into biodiesel. Factors affecting the rate of reaction on the application of ultrasonicwaves for biodiesel processing are temperature increasing, acoustic mixing, onset of cavitations andsurface tension on the micro bubble, and the formation of hot spots in the form of instantaneous pressureand high temperature on the molecular scale. The vibrator dipped into the reactants transferred mechanicalenergy which was transformed into heat, cavitations and hot spots. This research was conducted to seethe effect of the volume ratio of reactants and input energy on the rate of conversion of triglycerides intobiodiesel. The results of this study demonstrated a significant effect of the energy input to the conversion oftriglycerides into biodiesel. The greater specific input energy produced the higher conversion and the higherreaction rate. Input energy by using ultrasonic was significantly lower than the use of a mechanical stirrer
