KETERAMPILAN METAKOGNISI SISWA DALAM PEMECAHAN MASALAH PERBANDINGAN

AbstractThe study of mathematics requires a process of thinking process to manage the learners. Metacognition is awareness and controlling the students toward their cognition process to solving the problem. This research did for describing the metacognition skills of students for solving the proportion problem. The research  subjects are 36 of the students in VII grade at SMPN 1 Sungai Raya who are grouped into upper, medium, and lower level skill. This research method using the descriptive and qualitative method. The research instrument is test in the form of essay and deeper interview. Base on the result the  found that the students in upper skill level can comprehend all skill aspect of metacognition in problem solving. While the students in the medium skill level, only completed the aspects of planning and monitoring. The subject at lower skill level just understand monitoring aspect. The students with upper and medium skills level can apply the Polya steps eventhough there is lack of scrutiny when answering the question. Where as students at lower level skill are not been able to do the Polya steps. Keywords: Metacognition, Metacognition Skills, Problem Solving

The Impact of Production and Price Risks on The Economic Behavior of Coconut Farmers' Households in Seruyan Regency, Central Borneo Province

Production risk and price risk are problems that are often faced by coconut farmers. This is illustrated by the price and production instability faced by farmers, which will then have an impact on income and decision making in production and work allocation. The purpose of this study was to analyze the effect of changes in the level of production risk and price on the behavior of farmer households in coconut farming production decisions. This research was conducted in Seruyan Regency, Central Kalimantan Province with a total of 200 farmers as respondents. The production function and the risk function were analyzed using the Ordinary Least Square (OLS) method, while the farmer household economic model which was built using the simultaneous equation would be analyzed using the Two Stage Least Squares (2SLS) method. The results of the risk function analysis show that the risk of coconut production is directly proportional to the use of salt and herbicides. Land area, use of salt, herbicides and labor have a significant and positive effect on coconut production. The simulation results show an increased risk of negative impacts on the economy of coconut farmers' households. Keywords: production risk, price risk, household economy, coconut farmer

The Performance and Efficiency of XYZ Bank Work Units

Bank is an institution or business entity that has a big role in the financial system in the world, especially in Indonesia. The banking industry, which consists of government-owned banks and private banks with sharia and conventional systems, are mutually exclusive to survive the current tough competition. There have been various ways that have been done to attract attention to its customers. Bank XYZ realizes that the competition between companies is getting bigger, therefore the management of XYZ Bank issued a policy by building a new work unit. The operational sustainability of XYZ Bank in the Indonesian banking industry is closely related to the ability to maintain high competitiveness. Bank competitiveness can be reflected in the level of operational efficiency. This study uses secondary data from the XYZ Bank work unit and is analyzed by Data Envelopment Analysis. It is known that in the Bogor work unit, from the 17 times studied, 5 of them experienced inefficient conditions, while the Yogyakarta work unit was known to have 6 times that were inefficient.

Determining Technical and Resource-Use Efficiency in Rice Production in East Java

This study aimed to determine the technical and resource-use efficiency of East Java. The secondary data were used from the Paddy Cultivation Household Survey ST2013 handled by BPS-Statistics Indonesia. The data was cross-sectional and were derived from ST2013 in 2014. The stochastic frontier analysis analyzed the factors that drive rice output and quantified rice production's technical efficiency. In contrast, the marginal value product-marginal factor cost (MVP-MFC) approach was used to quantify resource-use efficiency in rice production. The SFA indicated that these factors positively affect rice output except for seed, fertilizer, labor, and land utilization. However, other factors were considered apart from the land size, such as exaggerated land and labor advantage in production and bad seed and fertilizer utilization. Technical efficiency varies considerably among rice farmers, ranging from 1 percent to 100 percent, with an average of 89 percent. Their technical inefficiency was influenced by their group membership, irrigation, credit, education level, and farmer age - external farm insect pests. The government and the private sector are involved in the programs through farmer groups.

Analysis of Farmer Perceptions in Adopting The Integrated Farming System: A Case Study of Oil Palm Plantation in Riau Province

Crop-livestock integration is a future agricultural system that can increase the added value of farming while and being environmentally friendly. However, it is not widely used by oil palm farmers. Oil palm integration with cattle is expected to meet the demand for oil palm organic fertilizer and utilize palm fronds as animal feed. The objective of this research is to analyse the factors that influence farmers’ decisions to implementing oil palm-cattle integration. A survey was conducted with 300 respondent who were chosen with purposive sampling with two categories: integrated farming and non-integrated farming. The logistic model was used to analyze adoption factors. The result shows that factors influencing the decision of farmers to adopt oil palm-cattle integration are the time of involvement of household head in farming, extension services, income from oil palm, and the household’s dependent ratio. Meanwhile, the factors that do not encourage farmers to adopt oil palm-cattle integration are formal education and involvement in farmer groups. The results observed several socio-economic factors that can lead to the increase of the crop-livestock integration such as farmers still requiring good extension and training.
