Structure, Composition, Distribution Patterns and Diversity of Tree Species in Forest Protected Areas of Nona Mountain Ambon City

Vegetation Protection Forest Nona Mount Ambon City, based on its functions and designation has a very important role in supporting the integrity of natural resources and ecosystems on Ambon island as a whole. However, the conflict in Ambon a few years ago resulted in forest vegetation in the region changed the face and function. Many residential areas have sprung up in the region after the social conflict in Ambon, making illegal logging for individual interests can not be prevented. The purposes of this study were 1) to obtain information about the Importance Value Index (IVI) plant species in Protected Forest Areas of Mount Nona; 2) to determine the structure, composition, distribution patterns of vegetation and diversity of tree species in Protected Forest Areas of Mount Nona.

SOSIALISASI KESADARAN LINGKUNGAN DIFERENSIASI MANGROVE BERBASIS PjBL STEAM PADA PESERTA DIDIK DI PESISIR PULAU AMBON

The socialization of mangrove differentiated environmental awareness based on PjBL STEAM aims to produce high-order thinking skills oriented products by implementing them in learning. In addition to producing art products about mangrove plants. This activity was motivated by the teacher's limitations in empowering participants' awareness of differentiated environment because the design and learning patterns were still traditional based on low-level cognitive achievement. On the other hand, teachers are limited to participating in various activities to support the improvement of their performance and profession including information on developing issues related to the environment as well as competencies and skills in teaching students according to the needs of the times. This activity also aims to introduce teachers to ideal pedagogical competencies in line with the demands of globalization, especially in cultivating and training creative thinking skills about environmental issues for elementary education students

Ethnobioconservation with a Predict, Observe, Explain (POE) Strategy Against Student Cooperative Skills

Student cooperative skills are an internal representation of the conceptual understanding of Maluku's natural resource conservation biology. Currently, students still have difficulty explaining the relationship between biological conservation and biological, physical and chemical conditions of a natural resource phenomenon, at a concrete level. These difficulties require research, through Predict, Observe, Explain (POE) Strategy, Ethnobioconservation Development of Maluku Natural Resources. This study aimed to reveal the development and differences in students' cooperative skills after learning Bioconservation with POE and conventional learning. Indicators of students' cooperative skills were adapted from Johnson, & Holubec, (2002). The topic of Maluku Natural Resources Ethnobioconservation combined with the POE Strategy consists of five topics, namely 1) Burning rocks in Maluku Tenggara Barat Indonesia; 2) Sasi Lompa Opening Ceremony in Haruku Village, Maluku Indonesia; 3) Timba Laor, Latuhalat Village, Ambon Maluku Indonesia; 4) Meti Kei Ceremony in Southeast Maluku Indonesia; and 5) The Opening Ceremony of Sasi Teripang in Noloth Village, Saparua Island, Maluku Indonesia. The findings indicated that the POE strategy resulted in better student cooperative skills. The N-Gain scores of students in the class using the POE and conventional strategies were found to be 71.43 and 47.73, respectively. Meanwhile, the value of coopetarif skills was higher (36.67%) compared to conventional learning. Thus, it can be concluded that POE Strategy learning is effective in increasing the cooperative skills of students. This research recommends that POE is very important and useful for use in biology learning. because the POE strategy facilitates student concept chang

Project-based Learning: Changing Students' Scientific Thinking to Be Creative from Waste Natural Materials

The main objective of this study is to analyze students' scientific creativity in each domain with an essay test referring to the Torrance Tests of Creative Thinking. This research was conducted on 50 teachers and 500 students in 10 elementary schools in Cluster 2, Nusaniwe District, Ambon City. The results of this study report descriptive demographic results of respondents and the level of creativity, namely fluency, flexibility, originality and elaboration among students is very good. The results of the study as a whole show that most of the students are at a good level after being taught with the PjBL model. Students increase their creativity with the teacher's instructions and directions. Initially in detail, many students lack the dimensions of fluency, flexibility, originality and elaboration so they cannot provide more ideas, and cannot provide answers. So that the originality becomes less and they have no ideas to elaborate further than the answers given. However, based on the findings from several student meetings, there has been a significant increase. This is because it applies a problem-oriented learning model that enhances each realm of creativity in science subjects. In addition, the researcher also recommends conducting more in-depth research on creative thinking processes among students based on the local advantages of each school based on geographical location which has its own unique value. Therefore, teachers are expected to be able to better understand cognitively, affectively and psychomotor in students' minds and possibly improve students' creative thinking skills on each dimension of creativityTujuan utama dari penelitian ini adalah menganalisis kreativitas sains siswa pada setiap domain dengan instrumen Torrance Tests of Creative Thinking. Penelitian ini dilaksanakan pada 50 guru dan 500 siswa pada 10 Sekolah Dasar Pada Gugus 2 Kecamatan Nusaniwe, Kota Ambon. Hasil penelitian ini melaporkan hasil deskriptif demografi responden dan tingkat kreativitas yaitu kelancaran, keluwesan, orisinalitas dan elaborasi dikalangan siswa sangat baik. Hasil penelitian secara keseluruhan menunjukkan bahwa sebagian besar siswa berada pada level baik setelah diajarkan dengan model PjBL. Siswa meningkatkan  kreativitas mereka dengan instruksi dan arahan guru. Awalnya secara rinci, banyak siswa kurang memiliki dimensi kefasihan, fleksibilitas, orisinalitas dan elaborasi sehigga tidak dapat memberikan lebih banyak ide, dan tidak dapat memberikan cara jawaban. Sehingga  orisinalitasnya menjadi kurang dan mereka tidak punya ide untuk mengelaborasi lebih jauh dari jawaban yang diberikan. Namun, berdasarkan hasil temuan dari beberapa pertemuan siswa mengalami peningkatan yang cukup tinggi. Hal ini karena menerapkan strategi pembelajaran yang berorientasi masalah yang meningkatkan masing-masing ranah kreativitas dalam mata pelajaran IPA. Selain itu, peneliti juga merekomendasikan untuk melakukan penelitian yang lebih mendalam tentang proses berpikir kreatif di kalangan siswa berdasarkan keunggulan lokal masing-masing sekolah berdasarkan letak geografis yang memiliki nilai keunikan tersendiri. Oleh karena itu, guru diharapkan dapat lebih memahami secara kognitif, afektif dan psikomotor dalam pikiran siswa dan mungkin dapat meningkatkan keterampilan berpikir kreatif siswa pada setiap dimensi pada kreativitas
