Mean of creative thinking of treatment (14.3) was higher than control (11.8)

Blended Project Based Learning: Metacognitive Awareness of Biology Education New Students

This study aims to analyse the difference of metacognitive awareness of treatment (using Blended Project Based Learning) and control class. This is a quasi-experimental research with Non-equivalent Control Group Design. This research was conducted at Department of Biology Education, University of Muhammadiyah Malang, in the first semester of the academic year 2014/2015. Metacognitive awareness of treatment class and control class was measured by using Metacognitive Awareness Inventory. Metacognitive awareness difference analysed with One-way ANOVA, processed with SPSS 22 for Windows. The results showed that there were difference Mean values in metacognitive awareness (knowledge about cognition and regulation of cognitive) between treatment and control. Mean value of treatment class was higher than control class. It means that Blended Project Based Learning effectively to develop and stimulation metacognitive awareness of new students (Biology teachers candidates)

PENERAPAN MODEL PROJECT BASED LEARNING UNTUK MENINGKATKAN KREATIVITAS DAN HASIL BELAJAR IPAS SISWA KELAS 4 SDN SUMBERSARI 2 KOTA MALANG

The low learning outcomes of students at school are influenced by the low creativity of students. This study aims to increase creativity and science learning outcomes in class IV through the Project Based Learning model. This type of research is classroom action research. Data collection techniques used in this study are observation, interviews, tests, and documentation. The data analysis technique used is descriptive qualitative. The subjects of this study were fourth grade students at SDN Sumbersari Malang City with a total of 24 students. The improvement obtained from this study was an increase in the percentage of students' creativity in science learning from 0% to 4.16% in cycle I and then to 33.33% in the very creative category. Then, in the creative category there was an increase in percentage from 16.67% to 29.16% in cycle I and to 58.33% in cycle II. In addition, there was a decrease in the percentage in the quite creative category from 29.20% to 20.83% in cycle I and to 8.33% in cycle II. Meanwhile, in the non-creative category, the percentage decreased from 54.20% to 25.00% in cycle I and to 4.16% in cycle II. The results of the study also showed an increase in student learning outcomes from 37.50% to 58.33% in cycle I and to 83.33% in cycle II. Based on the results of this study, it can be concluded that the application of the Project Based Learning model is able to increase the creativity and learning outcomes of class IV students in science subjects

ETIKA WISATAWAN DOMESTIK TERHADAP UPAYA KONSERVASI PANTAI (STUDI KASUS DI PANTAI BALEKAMBANG KABUPATEN MALANG) Ethics of Domestic Tourist to Beach Conservation (Case Study of Balekambang Beach, Malang District)

Abstract: This article is intended to explore the problems of environmental ethics to increase public awareness about the importance of the beach conservation. This research method is descriptive qualitative and quantitave, the primary data was obtained through observation and supported by informants interview. Secondary data were obtained through literature reviews and documents. The data were processed with descriptive techniques. The results of study explained that, (1) The 90 percent of domestic tourists are the resident of East Java, with an age range 1-60 years old, background are very heterogeneous, i.e. worker, farmer, students, researcher, professional, and others.

BIOINDIKATOR (Teori dan Aplikasi dalam Biomonitoring)

Buku berjudul Bioindikator: Teori dan Aplikasi dalam Biomonitoring ini ditulis untuk memperkaya pemahaman dan wawasan mahasiswa, khususnya mahasiswa S1 Pendidikan Biologi FKIP Universitas Muhammadiyah Malang. Buku ini difokuskan untuk mendukung pencapaian kemampuan akhir yang direncanakan dalam mata kuliah Ekologi khususnya Sub-CPMK L4: Menggunaan struktur dan fungsi makhluk hidup untuk monitoring kondisi lingkungan dan L14: Mendesain proposal proyek implementasi metode dan teknik dasar ekologi untuk mengumpulkan, mengolah, dan menganalisis data ekologik sebagai upaya memecahkan masalah ekologis/lingkungan hidup. Buku ini juga memperkaya Sub-CPMK L3: Memahami konsep habitat, mikrohabitat, dan relung ekologi. Dengan demikian, buku ini akan melengkapi buku ajar yang selama ini telah digunakan oleh mahasiswa (yang disusun oleh rekan sejawat lainnya). Namun, tidak menutup kemungkinan dalam perkembanganya, buku ini dapat dijadikan buku pengayaan oleh mahasiswa dari berbagai perguruan tinggi, baik mahasiswa pendidikan biologi, biologi, pertanian, kehutanan, dan ilmu lingkungan. Meskipun sebagian besar mahasiswa telah memperoleh pembelajaran biologi umum, bisa jadi konsep dan aplikasi bioindikator merupakan hal baru bagi mereka
