A STUDY ON THE PRINCIPALS’ AND ENGLISH TEACHERS’ PERCEPTIONS ABOUT CURRICULUM 2013 AND ITS IMPLEMENTATION

Curriculum is one of the important factors involved in teaching and learning process and it is the teacher who is the principle agent of curriculum development (Nunan, 1988). The implication of the curriculum development is that the teachers have sufficient chances to advance their professionalism and self determination. Moreover, principals play a vital and ever-expanding role in the process of curriculum development (Glatthorn, 2009). In relation to the principals’ role and teachers’ chances in developing K-13, it seems essential to look into the principals’ and English teachers’ perceptions on building up this most recent curriculum. Therefore, this study is aimed at describing the various principals’ and English teachers’ perceptions about K-13 and its implementation, and also it investigates English teachers’ problems and solutions in developing K-13. The participants of this study were six principals and thirty English teachers in Bandung. This study employed quantitative and qualitative methods (mixed methods), thus two types of data collection techniques were applied. Quantitative data were collected first through survey using Guttman and Lickert scale questionnaires to explore principals’ and English teachers’ perceptions on the implementation of K-13. To get in-depth information about English teachers’ perceptions, problems, and solutions on the implementation of K-13, a qualitative data were also collected through an interview. In general, it was uncovered that almost all principals perceived their role in the implementation of K-13 positively. It’s apparent that they were committed to do their roles well. Meanwhile, not all English teachers knew the concept of K-13 and how it was developed, and it has affected their perceptions on developing K-13. Furthermore, the English teachers still faced some problems in developing K-13. However, this study was conducted in a short time and limitations were obviously inevitable, it’s recommended that other researchers conduct the next research on the area of K-13 recurrently. It is expected that by doing the further research in the same field regularly, it will keep the trustworthiness of an issue

Aplikasi Data Mining Untuk Klasifikasi Kesuburan Tanaman Selada Hidroponik Dengan Metode K Nearest Network

Teknologi pertanian dengan metode hidroponik mulai dilirik. Hal ini karena sistem hidroponik tidak memerlukan tanah yang luas dan tanah yang subur. Dengan teknologi hidroponik semua masyarakat dapat menikmati hasil panen sayuran dari kebun sendiri. Dari permasalahan yang dipaparkan tersebut, maka penulis merumuskan: bagaimana membangun aplikasi pendeteksi kesuburan tanaman selada dengan metode hidroponik? Pada mulanya penulis melakukan pengumpulan data berupa studi literatur, survey secara langsung ke kebun hidroponik di kota Baru, dan terakhir melakukan wawancara dengan pengelola kebun. Kemudian dilakukan perancangan sistem dari program ini untuk selanjutnya dilakukan implementasi sistem. Lalu terakhir untuk memastikan sistem berjalan lancar, maka penulis melakukan pengujian sistem. Berdasarkan hasil pengujian sistem, sistem yang dibuat dengan menggunakan metode KNN, dihasilkan tingkat akurasi terbaik adalah dengan nilai k sebesar 15. dengan tingkat akurasi 89% dari 100 kali pengujian

Pengatur Intensitas Cahaya Lampu Fluorescent T8 secara Digital dengan Antar Muka RS 485

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk merancang dan mengiplementasikan balast elektronik untuk lampu fluorescent dengan power faktor > 0,9, Total Harmonic Distortion current (THDi) kurang dari 10% dan memiliki efikasi (efisiensi) yang lebih tinggi dibanding balast elektromagnetik. Pada penelitian ini dilakukan pengaturan intensitas lampu fluorescent T8 dengan teknik switching modulasi frekuensi menggunakan rangkaian terintegrasi IC L6574. Untuk memperkecil THDi yang ditimbulkan hingga dibawah 10% dengan faktor daya > 0,9 digunakan Power Factor Corection (PFC) aktif dengan IC L6562. Pengendalian dimmer dilakukan secara digital dengan mikrokontroler yang berfungsi menterjemahkan perintah digital dalam kode American Standard Code Information Interchange (ASCII) menjadi keluaran tegangan DC 0 – 10V dengan metode PWM. Komunikasai data antara sistem dimmer dengan terminal data (PC) dilakukan melalui kabel dengan antar muka RS485. Dari hasil penelitian didapatkan bahwa dimmer elektronik dapat mengatur intensitas cahaya dari 10 – 100%, THDi menurun mencapai 10,8 % dengan pf > 0,9 pada pengaturan intensitas cahaya 100%. Dimmer elektronik memiliki efikasi 5,67 lm/W lebih tinggi dibanding balast elektromagnetik dengan efikasi 3,9 lm/W. Dari penelitian ini dapat disimpulkan bahwa dimmer elektronik memiliki unjuk kerja yang lebih baik dibanding dengan balast elektromagnetik serta kemampuan mengatur intensitas cahaya yang dikendalikan dari komputer atau peralatan digital
