Building Self-directed Learner Through Authentic Assessment

This research investigates how authentic assessment that is set in the beginning of the lecture in the learning contract can build self-directed learner. This research uses a descriptive qualitative analysis by analyzing seven students’ tasks using authentic assessment, including the reflection of their experience, feeling and expression after one semester learning. The data are taken from the compilation of tasks that is submitted at the end of the semester. The results show that in each of the seven tasks build a self-directed learner. Though it was difficult at first, along the semester they are habituated to do the tasks and made them to be a self-directed learner. Based on these findings it is suggested that the task using authentic assessment set in the beginning of the lecture in order to make the students to be aware of learning in different ways

Investigation of the anti-aging properties of allicin from Allium sativum L bulb extracts by a reverse docking approach

Purpose: To analyze the potential of Allium sativum bulb extract in curing premature aging using reverse docking method.Methods: Ligand samples were retrieved from a PubChem database, allicin CID 65036,epigallocatechin gallate CID 65064, and pedunculagin CID 442688. To improve reliability, protein targets were predicted using three web services (PharmMapper, SuperPred and Swiss Target Prediction). Molecular docking was conducted to predict the interaction between Allium sativum bioactive as ligands and leukocyte elastase as protein target using PyRx 0.8 software. To be sure of the drug potential of the bioactive, DruLiTo software was used for the evaluation. Visualization and interaction analysis were performed by PyMol and Ligplus software.Results: The results showed that allicin has the highest potential as a candidate for premature-aging treatment, as evidenced by the highest binding affinity (-8.7 kcal/mol) to leukocyte elatase compared with epigallocatechin (-7.2 kcal/mol) and pedunculagin (-7.8 kcal/mol). Allicin acted as a leukocyte elatase inhibitor, with its binding stability facilitated by hydrogen bonding and hydrophobic interactions.Conclusion: Allicin has a potential as a leukocyte elastase inhibitor based on its binding affinity and intermolecular interactions. Thus, allicin is a potential anti-aging drug candidate based on Lipinski’s rule.Keywords: Anti-aging, Allicin, Leukocyte elastase inhibitor, Protein target analysis, Binding affinity, Reverse dockin

Peningkatan Keterampilan Berpikir Kritis Mahasiswa Melalui Penerapan Model Pembelajaran Learning Cycle 7e Berbasis Lesson Study

Learning aimed to help students undergo the learning process so that effective learning behavior was realized. Effective learning was learning that can produced useful learning and student centered learning. In reality, students in class were still passive, have not been able to expressed their opinion, and were less active in constructing their own knowledge. This showed that learning objectives have not been achieved according to the sixth level of KKNI’s standard. Therefore, this study was conducted using a learning cycle 7E learning model based on lesson study to improve student’s critical thinking skills. The result showed that there had been an increase in student’s critical thinking skills during learning with four lesson study. The improvement of critical thinking skills on the interpretation indicator was 0.03%, inference was 0.03%, analysis was 0.06%, evaluation was 0.28%, explanations were 0.66%, and self-regulation was 0.91%
