Project-based Learning in Chinese Classroom: A Way to Stimulate Students

Learning Mandarin as a foreign language not only emphasize the importance of pronunciation and mastery of vocabulary or grammar, but also the importance of understanding of the context, therefore students are able to apply when communicate using Mandarin. Project-based Learning (PjBL) is one of the learning models which help students in applying what they learnt in real context. In this study, researchers apply PjBL on XI graders in two different high schools in Indonesia, which are Senior High School 5 Malang and Senior High School Taruna Nala Jawa Timur. The researcher asked Senior High School 5 Malang students’ to create a three minute video about visiting a sick friend. Meanwhile, the task that given to Senior High School Taruna Nala Jawa Timur students’ is to create a 3D school’s map. As a result, PjBL implementation in Mandarin classroom proved to gives an opportunity for students to apply what they have learnt in a real context so it can stimulate students in developing their language skills (listening, speaking, reading, and writing) and improve their 4Cs competencies (critical thinking, collaborative, communicative, and creative). Learning Mandarin is similar with learning any other foreign language, it requires considerable exposure thus students are able to get the chance to apply what they have already learnt thoroughly. In addition, learning Mandarin as a foreign language not only emphasize the importance of pronunciation and mastery of vocabulary or grammar, but also the importance of understanding of the context, therefore students are able to apply when communicate using Mandarin. Project-based Learning (PjBL) is one of the learning models which help students in applying what they learnt in real context. In this study, researchers apply PjBL on XI graders in two different high schools, Senior High School Taruna Nala Jawa Timur and Senior High School 5 Malang. The researcher asked Senior High School Taruna Nala Jawa Timur students’ to create a 3D school’s map. Meanwhile, the task that given to Senior High School 5 Malang students’ is to create a three minute video about visiting a sick friend. As a result, PBL implementation in Mandarin classroom can stimulate students in developing their language skills (listening, speaking, reading, and writing) and 4C competencies (critical thinking, Collaborative, Communicative, and Creative). Besides, PBL also gives an opportunity for students to apply what they have learnt in a real context.     Keywords: Pjbl, Mandarin Classroom, High School Students, Language Skills, 4cs Competencies     Keywords: Project Based Learning, Mandarin classroom, high school students, vide

Stabilitas Hasil Jagung Varietas Hibrida Harapan Umur Genjah

Maize yield represents the interaction between genotype and environment. An excellent genotype should have high mean yield and small variation across common locations.This information could be obtained through yield performance test and stability analysis of yield data obtained from multilocation trials. This research was aimed to find out yield stability of eight early maturing maize promising lines at five sites using the AMMI method. There were total 12 genotypes of maize hybrids used in this research, consisted of eight hybrids (CH-1, CH-2, CH-3, CH-4, CH-5, CH-6, CH-7, and CH-8) and four check varieties (Gumarang, Bima 3, AS-1, and Bisi 2). This research was conducted at five locations ie. Gowa (South Sulawesi), Donggala (Central Sulawesi), Manado (North Sulawesi), Probolinggo (East Java) and Lombok Barat (West Nusa Tenggara) from April to September 2013. The treatments were arranged in a randomized complete block design (RCBD) with 3 replications. Variable measured was grain yield at all trial locations. Analysis of variance was performed for each site data to determine the performance of each genotype at each location. Results showed that genotype CH-2, CH-4 and CH-6 were considered as stable genotypes. Genotype CH-2 and CH-4 have a potensial to be released as new early maturing variety, due to its high yield of 8.71 and 7.52 t/ha averaged over 5 locations. Genotype CH-6 yielded below the mean yield of all genotypes, while genotype CH-8 was adaptive to a specific location, such as in Donggala, with yield of 8.38 t/ha
