The data of instrument were analyzed using product moment SPSS and Ms. Excel. The highest validity score of each teacher as expert and student as user is 0,821 & 0,776 while the reliability score each is 0,955 & 0,906. The results of this research indicate that the interactive multimedia is valid and reliable

A Study On Conceptual Design of a Drone for Transportation in The Agricultural Sector

A drone is a fast-growing technology that has been used in many applications in the world. The drone also is a new solution for the transportation process in the agricultural sector. The primary purpose of this project is to explore the potential of drone or Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) to reduce the dependence on fossil-fueled vehicles to transport the crops within the farm and from the farm to the seller. The use of drones will create lower emission of carbon dioxide and toxic gases that are usually generated by fossil-fueled vehicles. Besides, this research is also essential to reduce the health issues that currently appear from agriculture activities. The objective of this project is to determine the parameters to design a suitable drone for transportation in the agricultural sector. In addition, the design of the drone must be able to carry a maximum of 10 kg of payload, which can be analyzed by simulation and analysis. The simulation and analysis are performed by SolidWorks software. The conceptual design of the drone is proposed by following the George E. Dieter model of the design process. In addition, a simulation on the strength of the drone components and analysis on the thrust of the motor have been conducted to verify the proposed drone design concept based on the determined parameters. The cost estimation of the drone is about RM17683.65 and the overall weight is 26.823 kg. In conclusion, the drone design concept for transportation in the agricultural sector is proposed as a preliminary study for future works

Kemampuan Berkomunikasi Siswa melalui Penerapan Strategi Pembelajaran Berbasis Proyek di Kelas XI SMA Babussalam Pekanbaru

The aim of this research is to determine the level of communication skills of students in class XI MIA 1 Babussalam Pekanbaru through the implementation of project-based learning strategy in The Equation of Progressive Wave and Stationary Wave subject. The expected benefits of this research is as a basis for further examine the success rate of students by using a lot of other learning approaches. This research was conducted at SMA Babussalam Pekanbaru precisely in March to June 2015 in class XI MIA 1 totaling 29 students. The design of the research is pre-experimental design form one shot case study. From the research, the results were obtained for oral communication skills based on indicators that include the ability of express information and ideas; paying attention when someone else speaks; responds; and asking, students have the ability with high category. Similarly to written communication skills, the ability of students in each meeting continue to increase by an average of each indicator that includes the quality of the writing and the visual representation categorized as high. So it can be concluded that communication skills of students in class XI MIA 1 SMA Babussalam Pekanbaru could be trained through the implementation of project based learning strategies in The Equation of Progressive Wave and Stationary Wave subject

Forecasting wind speed data by using a combination of ARIMA model with single exponential smoothing

Wind serves as natural resources as the solution to minimize global warming and has been commonly used to produce electricity. Because of their uncontrollable wind characteristics, wind speed forecasting is considered one of the best challenges in developing power generation. The Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA), Simple Exponential Smoothing (SES) and a hybrid model combination of ARIMA and SES will be used in this study to predict the wind speed. The mean absolute percentage error (MAPE) and the root mean square error (RMSE) are used as measurement of efficiency. The hybrid model provides a positive outcome for predicting wind speed compare to the single model of ARIMA and SES

Sikap Terhadap Sains Siswa Dalam Penerapan Pembelajaran Inkuiri Terbimbing (Guided Inquiry Approach)

This research aims to determine the increase attitudes toward science of students in physics learning by the implementation of guided inquiry approach in class X IPA4 SMA Muhammadiyah 1 Pekanbaru. The subjects are students of class X IPA4. This class has fewer than 35 students, consists of 13 male students and 22 female students. The data collection instrument in this study is questionnaire of attitudes towards science which consists of 24 statements. Analysis of the data in this study is a descriptive analysis using the Gain (increase). If G>0.3, so the attitudes towards science of student is increase by the implementation of guided inquiry approach. The results showed: Gain attitudes towards science of students on aspects of interest in the science of 0.15 with a low category, aspects of science and learning activities of 0.17 with a low category, the importance of science aspects of 0.20 with a low category, and environmental aspects of the view science of 0.18 with a lower category. So that the average gain attitudes toward science of students in the amount of 0.18 to a low category. Application of guided inquiry approach the material and application of Newton\u27s laws have low gain to improve attitudes toward science of students in class X SMA Muhammadiyah 1 pekanbaru
