PENGEMBANGAN MEDIA PEMBELAJARAN BERBASIS TELEGRAM PADA MATA PELAJARAN TEKNIK PENGOLAHAN VIDEO UNTUK MENINGKATKAN KEMAMPUAN BERFIKIR KOGNITIF SISWA

Berbagai media dan metode yang digunakan oleh guru multimedia seperti penemuan, diskusi, penugasan, tampaknya belum mampu memfasilitasi siswa untuk belajar lebih serius. Menurut Asosiasi Penyedia Layanan Internet Indonesia (APJII) pada tahun 2012, sekitar 63 juta orang Indonesia terhubung ke internet dan sebanyak 95 persen dari kegiatan yang mereka lakukan adalah media sosial terbuka. Jadi melalui media sosial telegram, pengetahuan yang disampaikan akan lebih menarik. Penelitian ini menggunakan model pengembangan "ADDIE" yang memberikan gambaran umum tentang tahapan-tahapan pengembangan media sosial telegram dalam salah satu mata pelajaran jurusan multimedia di SMK Negeri 4 Surabaya, agar data yang diambil bisa terstruktur. Menganalisa hasil validasi media dan perangkat pembelajaran oleh validator, kemudian menganalisa hasil data pretest dan posttest siswa sehingga dapat diketahui pengaruh dari pengembangan media sosial telegram terhadap hasil belajar siswa. Hasil analisis data pada Pengembangan Media Sosial Telegram di SMK Negeri 4 Surabaya dapat diketahui dari meningkatnya hasil belajar siswa setelah menggunakan media pembelajaran berbasis telegram. Oleh karena itu, media pembelajaran sangat layak digunakan, karena dapat dilihat dari meningkatnya kemampuan berfikir kognitif siswa dan media sosial telegram layak digunakan sebagai penunjang proses pembelajaran di dalam kelas

The osteoarthritis prevention study (TOPS) - A randomized controlled trial of diet and exercise to prevent Knee Osteoarthritis:Design and rationale

Background: Osteoarthritis (OA), the leading cause of disability among adults, has no cure and is associated with significant comorbidities. The premise of this randomized clinical trial is that, in a population at risk, a 48-month program of dietary weight loss and exercise will result in less incident structural knee OA compared to control. Methods/design: The Osteoarthritis Prevention Study (TOPS) is a Phase III, assessor-blinded, 48-month, parallel 2 arm, multicenter randomized clinical trial designed to reduce the incidence of structural knee OA. The study objective is to assess the effects of a dietary weight loss, exercise, and weight-loss maintenance program in preventing the development of structural knee OA in females at risk for the disease. TOPS will recruit 1230 ambulatory, community dwelling females with obesity (Body Mass Index (BMI) ​≥ ​30 ​kg/m2) and aged ≥50 years with no radiographic (Kellgren-Lawrence grade ≤1) and no magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) evidence of OA in the eligible knee, with no or infrequent knee pain. Incident structural knee OA (defined as tibiofemoral and/or patellofemoral OA on MRI) assessed at 48-months from intervention initiation using the MRI Osteoarthritis Knee Score (MOAKS) is the primary outcome. Secondary outcomes include knee pain, 6-min walk distance, health-related quality of life, knee joint loading during gait, inflammatory biomarkers, and self-efficacy. Cost effectiveness and budgetary impact analyses will determine the value and affordability of this intervention. Discussion: This study will assess the efficacy and cost effectiveness of a dietary weight loss, exercise, and weight-loss maintenance program designed to reduce incident knee OA.Trial registration: ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT05946044.</p
