Pembaharuan Sistem Evaluasi dalam Skala Mikro dan Skala Makro pada Pengajaran Biologi di Smlj

The article discussed about the status and function of evaluation which isproportionally using both macro and Inicro scales on Biology"! specially in SeniorHigh School. The discussion was applied by cOlTIbining theories and the facts exist.The result concluded that macro scale evaluation on Biology in Senior High Schoolby using the nati\onal asseSSlnent (Ebtanas) , which is only measuring the cognitiveability should be used as a mean to monitor and describe the quality of education inilnproving the policy and not to deterlnine the graduation or entrance selection. Theresult of analysis on Ebtanas outcomes should be distributed to the teachers in orderto make any improvement on teaching quality based on cognitive aspect. Thegraduation or student achievement on Biology related to the notion of IPA whichcontains the product and process skill was better to be assessed by using authenticassessment so that the students\u27 work could be the orientation of teaching-learningachievement

KURIKULUM TINGKAT SATUAN PENDIDIKAN DAN TANTANGANNYA

Tulisan ini mengetengahkan peluang terimplementasikannya Kurikulum Tingkat Satuan Pendidikan sejalan dengan dikeluarkannya Peraturan Menteri Pendidikan Nasional No. 24 Tahun 2004 tentang pelaksanaan Peraturan Menteri Pendidikan Nasional Nomor 22 Tahun 2006 Tentang Standar Isi untuk Satuan Pendidikan Dasar dan Menengah dan Peraturan Menteri Pendidikan Nasional Nomor 23 Tahun 2006 tentang Standar Kompetensi Lulusan untuk Satuan Pendidikan Dasar dan Menengah.

Pengukuran Kreativitas Keterampilan Proses Sains dalam Konteks Assessment For Learning

Measuring the Science Process Skill Creativity in the Context of Assessment for Learning. This study aims to measure the science process skill creativity in Biology in Senior High Schools (SHSs), in terms of the basic skills, process skills, and investigative skills and use them in the context of assessment for learning. The study used the learning continuum as the abstract continuum and the instruments of the divergent process science skills in Biology in SHSs developed by Bambang Subali in 2009. Two of the six instrument sets were modified and administered to 1095 students. The results show that in the process science skill creativity, the skill in data measurement is the most difficult skill among the basic skills while the observation skill is the easiest. The skill in making inferences is the most difficult skill among the process skills while the skill in making predictions is the easiest. The most difficult skill in the investigative skills is the skill in planning investigation, followed by those in reporting an investigation and making an investigation

The Competence Based Curiculum of Biological Education's Undergraduate Programs

This is the review which dealed with the curiculum of, both an educational study program generally and biological study program as well. The review showed the importance to set the curiculum up and fit it with the competence based curiculum, since that curiculum has been applied by the user, thus, it needed to response respectively.The first step is, indeed, setting up the curiculum of educational study program, becoming the competence based curiculum. That curiculum setting up by two main steps are defining the targeted output competence, followed by defining the competency for group of subjects and then for each subject. Secondly, is applying the curiculum in a daily educational proccesses, and then give it an assesment, evaluation and review toward the proccesses it self and the output respectively.The competence based curiculum could provide some output as a young teacher which has some competency. However, some certification test is still needed to filter the output and give rise to the high quality and full of competence teacher. After all, the user will prove it and give the feed back to us.This is the review which dealed with the curiculum of, both an educational study programgenerally and biological study program as well.

DUKUNGAN KURIKULUM 2004 TERHADAP PEMBELAJARAN PENGETAHUAN ALAM TERINTEGRASI DI SMP

The new curriculum for junior high schools known as Curriculum 2004 calls for a change in the name of the school subject Physical Science into Physical Knowledge. The change in name has very important consquences on education in science. One of the most important consquences is that the subject should be taught in an integrated way. This article studies the consquences of the change in the name of the subject on its instruction and whether the structure of the curriculum enables the subject to be taught in an integrated way. The results of the study indicate that a consquence of the change in the name of the subject is that the way junior high school students learn science is not to be as scientific as scientists; rather, they are to come only to the level of introduction to concepts and scientific work which is applied in nature (which implies applied science). Therefore, there needs to be a change in the formulation of leaning objectives and a simplification of the basic copmpetencies to be achieved and the indicators of achievement. An integrated teaching of the subject in an integrated way, however, can ideally be conducted only when the development of the important aspects (or the strands) of the subject in the curriculum is based on themes or problems instead of objects. The objects selected should represent a facilitation of the mastery of scientific concepts to be developed in students, as seen in the structure of the curriculum used in Singapore or of the one proposed a science teachers’ association in the United States.

PENGEMBANGAN KREATIVITAS KETERAMPILAN PROSES SAINS DALAM ASPEK KEHIDUPAN ORGANISME PADA MATA PELAJARAN IPA SD

Abstrak: Penelitian ini bertujuan mengetahui seberapa jauh pengembangan kreativitas keterampilan proses sains dalam aspek kehidupan organisme melalui IPA di SD di DIY. Penelitian ini merupakan hasil need assessment yang dilaksanakan pada tahun pertama dari penelitian dengan judul kreativitas keterampilan proses sains dalam aspek kehidupan organisme pada mata pelajaran IPA SD yang akan dilaksanakan selama tiga tahun. Pengumpulan data melalui survei dengan teknik sampel gugus setelah ditetapkan Unit Pelaksana Tenis (UPT) Dinas Pendidikan yang mewakili wilayah perkotaan dan pinggiran. Hasil survei terhadap 400 guru kelas IV dan V serta 1200 grup peserta didik dari 10 UPT di lima kabupaten/kota di DIY menunjukkan hampir semua guru menyatakan pentingnya pembelajaran untuk mengembangkan kreativitas keterampilan proses sains dalam aspek kehidupan kepada peserta didik. Mereka hampir tidak pernah atau jarang membelajarkannya tanpa disertai pemberian contoh. Umumnya mereka sering melakukannya dengan disertai pemberian contoh. Tidak ada guru yang melaporkan pernah mengikuti diklat pengembangan kreativitas

Learning Continuum Memuat Pendapat Pakar Tentang Aspek Genetika Ditinjau dari Level Kompetensi dan Karakteristik Materi Pedagogik Spesifik pada Pendidikan Dasar sampai Menengah

Pembelajaran biologi khususnya genetika yang saling tumpang tindih membuat materi tidak berkesinambungan. Salah satu penyebabnya dikarenakan materi tidak disesuaikan dengan perkembangan peserta didik dan daya kemampuan berpikirnya. Peserta didik yang belajar tidak sesuai dengan perkembangannya pasti akan kesulitan dalam memahami materi pelajaran. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pendapat pakar pendidikan biologi mengenai learning continuum materi pedagogik spesifik aspek genetika. Pakar pendidikan biologi dalam hal ini adalah dosen-dosen pendidikan biologi sebagai responden untuk diminta pendapatnya mengenai learning continuum materi aspek genetika. Metode yang digunakan yakni survei dengan membagikan 85 koesioner pada sampel convenience. Penelitian dilakukan di 5 provinsi yaitu jawa barat, Jakarta, jawa tengah, Yogyakarta dan jawa timur. Teknik analisis data menggunakan analisis data deskriptif yaitu dengan mendeskrpsikan data yang telah terkumpul dengan hasil apa adanya. Hasil yang diperoleh yaitu hampir semua pakar pendidikan biologi berpendapat bahwa materi aspek genetika dominan diajarkan di kelas XII. Hanya 25 % yang berpendapat diajarkan di kelas IX. Tentu saja hal ini dapat ditarik kesimpulan bahwasannya materi aspek genetika mulai diajarkan di sekolah menengah pertama kelas IX kemudian diajarkan kembali di sekolah menengah atas kelas XII dengan level yang berbeda dan cakupan materi yang lebih kompleks. Semakin tinggi jenjang sekolah maka semakin meningkat level kognitif yang harus diperoleh peserta didik. Materi yang diajarkan sebaiknya disusun sesuai perkembangan peserta didik, sehingga peserta didik tidak kesulitan dalam memahami pelajaran
