PENERAPAN SINTAKS MODEL PEMBELAJARAN CONTEXTUAL TEACHING AND LEARNING (CTL) DENGAN METODE LATIHAN KETERAMPILAN DALAM MENINGKATKAN PRESTASI BELAJAR IPS SISWA
Penelitian ini adalah penelitian tindakan kelas yang ditujukan untuk membenahi kelemahan-kelemahan proses pembelajaran yang telah dilakukan. Penelitian ini mengambil subjek pada siswa kelas VIIA SMP Negeri 1 Gerokgak pada semester I tahun ajaran 2013/2014. Data hasil penelitian ini dikumpulkan menggunakan tes, dan untuk menganalisis data yang dihasilkan digunakan analisis desktiptif. Data yang peroleh dari hasil pelaksanaan penelitian ini terlihat jelas adanya peningkatan dari data awal yang ada rata-rata kelasnya baru mencapai 58.20, pada siklus I meningkat menjadi 69.70 dan pada siklus II meningkat menjadi 82.55. Keberhasilan tersebut menunjukkan bahwa penerapan model pembelajaran Contextual Teaching and Learning dengan metode latihan keterampilan dalam pelaksanaan proses pembelajaran mampu meningkatkan prestasi belajar sehingga penelitian ini tidak diteruskan ke siklus berikutnya
Fibrinogen status in relapse and remission of childhood nephrotic syndrome
Objective To evaluate fibrinogen concentration of relapsing neph-
rotic syndrome (NS) in children, and to investigate relationship
between fibrinogen with albumin and cholesterol.
Methods A cross-sectional study among NS patients admitted to
pediatric outpatient clinic and pediatric ward at Sanglah Hospital,
Denpasar, from November 1, 2003 to January 31, 2004. All pa-
tients were evaluated for clinical and laboratory findings of relapse
and remission, including edema, proteinuria, serum albumin, total
cholesterol, as well as total platelet count and fibrinogen concen-
tration to evaluate coagulation parameters in nephrotic patients.
Results There were 36 patients with the mean age of 7.4 (SD 2.3)
years included in this study. Mean fibrinogen concentration in re-
lapse state was 671.8 (SD 102.7) mg/dl, while in remission state
was 255.2 (SD 50.5 mg/dl); the mean difference was 416.6 mg/dl
(95% CI 362.9;470.4; P<0.001). Fibrinogen was inversely and
strongly correlated with serum albumin concentrations (r=-0.91;
P<0.001). Fibrinogen was positively and strongly correlated to to-
tal cholesterol (r=0.80; P<0.001). Using multiple regression analy-
sis, it was shown that only relapse/remission status was signifi-
cantly associated with fibrinogen concentration (P<0.001).
Conclusion Fibrinogen status is significantly correlated with re-
lapse and remission status of NS in childhood patients
