Understanding Idea of Curriculum 2013 and Its Consistency on Developing Curriculum Document at Level of Education Unit (Ktsp) at Primary School Level

Penelitian ini dilatar belakangi adanya berbagai permasalahan Kurikulum 2013, baik dari sisi kesiapan guru menerima Kurikulum 2013, pemahaman terhadap ide Kurikulum 2013, maupun dalam implementasi pembelajaran. Dalam landasan teori pengembangan kurikulum, ide kurikulum merupakan komponen penting yang perlu dipahami oleh tim pengembang kurikulum, sehingga pengembangan dokumen kurikulum yang disusun mencerminkan kesinambungan dengan ide kurikulum. Adanya sejumlah permasalahan tersebut, maka penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menggambarkan dan meng-eksplorasi pemahaman kepala sekolah dan guru tentang ide Kurikulum 2013 dan konsistensinya terhadap pengembangan dokumen Kurikulum Tingkat Satuan Pendidikan (KTSP) jenjang Sekolah Dasar di Kecamatan Sukalarang Kabupaten Sukabumi. Metode penelitian yang diterapkan adalah penelitian kualitatif dengan pendekatan deskriptif eksploratori. Kesimpulan hasil penelitian adalah: (1) pemahaman kepala sekolah dan guru tentang ide Kurikulum 2013 baru pada taraf kenal dan tahu, pemahaman bahwa ide kurikulum memiliki konsistensi dalam pengembangan dokumen Kurikulum Tingkat Satuan Pendidikan (KTSP) belum dimiliki; (2) dokumen Kurikulum Tingkat Satuan Pendidikan (KTSP) yang dikembangkan menunjukkan tidak ada konsistensi antara ide Kurikulum 2013 dengan dokumen Buku I KTSP, Buku II KTSP, dan Buku III KTSP; (3) permasalahan yang dihadapi kepala sekolah dan guru berkaitan dengan Kurikulum 2013 adalah masalah penilaian, baik berkaitan dengan teknik dan jenis penilaian maupun teknik pengadministrasian hasil penilaian. Rekomendasi diusulkan kepada pengambil kebijakan, bahwa strategi pelatihan perlu diubah dari bersifat “theory oriented” kearah “practice oriented” dan perlu divariasikan pelaksanaannya di tingkat Kecamatan atau Gugus Sekolah serta ditingkatkan efektifitas pola pendampingan Kurikulum 2013. Bagi kepala sekolah dan guru diharapkan dalam mendiseminasikan Kurikulum 2013 perlu didukung dengan menghadirkan nara sumber ahli pada saat kegiatan workshop, kegiatan K3S atau KKG, sehingga pemahaman ide Kurikulum 2013 yang belum terkaji dalam pelatihan di tingkat Provinsi atau Kabupaten dapat diperkuat dan dimantapkan pada saat kegiatan Kelompok Kerja Kepala Sekolah (K3S) dan Kelompok Kerja Guru (KKG)

Karakteristik Taman Menteri Soepeno sebagai Taman Ramah Anak di Kota Semarang

The child-friendly city is a city that gives attention to and recognizes the existence of children's rights, including the provision of children's play facilities. Public facilities that can reflect recognition of children's rights are parks. The purpose of this study is to find out the characteristic of Menteri Soepeno park as a child-friendly park in Semarang city. This park is expected to be a reference for the development of child-friendly parks in realizing a child-friendly city. The method used in this research is quantitative with scoring analysis. The result showed that Menteri Soepeno park was not child-friendly, some improvements were needed so this park could be one of facility that supports the realization of a child-friendly city in Semarang.

STUDI KARAKTERISTIK FLUORESENSI CHLORELLA spp : PENGARUH pH TERHADAP PENGKULTURAN

The Study on Fluorescence Characteristics of Chlorella spp: pH Influence on Culture. Experiments for measuringthe fluorescence characteristics of Chlorella spp. by using high stability and high repetition rate nitrogen laser ofenergy 5 mJ with pulse duration of 5 ns have been carried out. The results show that for a cell concentration rangefrom 2,625 cells/ml up to 2,769,000 cells/ml, the fluorescence intensities at pada λ = 687 nm have a linear relationshipwith the cell concentration. It has been also found that for a 7 days old chlorella culture, the pH variation at thestarting culture influenced the cell concentration.Keywords: Chlorella spp., culture, fluorescence, pH, high stability nitrogen lase

Synthesis and Characterization of Zinc Oxide Nanoparticles-based Dental Cement

Dental cement-based mixture of zinc oxide and eugenol is one of the commonly used dental cement. One of the major shortcomings that limit its application is dental cement zinc oxide and eugenol has detrimental mechanical properties. This study aims to carry out the synthesis and characterization of nano-based dental cement of zinc oxide mixed with eugenol with the hypothesis that zinc oxide nanoparticles will provide better mechanical properties. Physical and mechanical properties of cement-based dental cement oxide nanoparticles will be compared with dental cement zinc oxide microparticles.Mixing eugenol and ZnO nanoparticles were made by the composition of the powder 0.4 g, 0.45 g, 0.5 g, 0.55 g, 0.6 g and 0.2 mL of fluid. ZnO nanoparticles as a powder slowly mixed with liquid, so as to produce pasta. Methods of analysis include compressive strength, hardness and microstructure observation. From a series of studies and analysis, the surface morphology of the samples obtained by the nanoparticles-based dental cement is smoother and has a little fracture compared with microparticles-based dental cement. Likewise, the mechanical analysis of dental cement, ZnO nanoparticles can increase the compressive strength and hardness of thematerial. The conclusions are that the addition of nanoparticles can enhance physical and mechanical characteristics

Lipid production from tapioca wastewater by culture of Scenedesmus sp. with simultaneous BOD, COD and nitrogen removal

The use of microalgae to produce biodiesel or possibly remove nutrients from industrial wastewater has gained important attention during recent years due to their photosynthetic rate and its versatile nature to grow in various wastewater systems. In this study, a microalgae, Scenedesmus sp., was cultured to enhance the lipid production and nutrients removal from tapioca wastewater sample. To assess lipid production, Scenedesmus sp. was cultured in different concentration of tapioca wastewater sample (from 0 to 100 %), and nutrient removal including BOD, COD, NH4, NO2, NO3 level by Scenedesmus sp. was assessed in 100% of tapioca wastewater culture. After 8 days of culture, it was found out that 50% of tapioca wastewater sample resulted in highest concentration of lipid content than that of the other concentrations. The level of environment indicator as nutrient removal such as BOD, COD, NH4, NO2, NO3 were also decreased up to 74%, 72%, 95%, 91%, and 91%, respectively. The pH condition changed from initial condition acidic (pH: 4) to neutral or basic condition (pH: 7-8) as recommended in wastewater treatment system. This research provided a novel approach and achieved efficient simultaneous lipid production and nutrients removal from tapioca wastewater sample by Scenedesmus's culture system
