Conceptual change and anomalous data: A case study in the domain of natural sciences

Two main building Kalimantan Institute of Technology was established on an area of 3500 m2 on October 6, 2014 which serves as the infrastructure for teaching and learning activities of students. The rapid increase in the number of students each year results in an increase in the number of buildings as facilities for teaching and learning. This is the background for the development of the Kalimantan Institute of Technology area by adding five more lecture buildings to support teaching and learning activities for 3500 students. The expansion area for five more lecture buildings is currently under construction in the area of the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences. The function of the land area has been change due to building construction resulted in an increase in runoff discharge. This condition certainly affects the region if not handled properly. Increased runoff discharge will affect inundation or flooding in the area if it is not equipped with a drainage system as needed. This research is one alternative solution given. This research is in the form of a study on the implementation of a drainage master plan that aims to obtain drainage dimensions such as drainage width, drainage length and drainage depth by observing runoff due to rainwater using the concept of environmentally friendly drainage. The research obtained from the dimensions of tertiary canals with dimensions of 0.10-0.30 meters, secondary channels 0.30-0.45 meters and primary channels 0.35-0.70 meters with the discharge area of the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences ITK is 1.18 m3/ sec.

The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of motivation on the result cognitive learning of the model TGT assisted YuGiOh Card. The population in this study were students of class VII semester 1 with the number of 16 students at MTs Baitul Amin Bali. The type of research design used was pre-experimental design with a one-shot case study. The study used 2 (two) variables examined in this study, namely motivation and result cognitive learning. The method used in data collection in this research is questionnaire (questionnaire), documentation and test. The collected data were analyzed using simple linear regression. Based on the motivation data obtained using themodel TGT assisted by the YuGiOh card in this study, it shows that students who are in the very good motivation category are 62.5% and good categories are 37.5%. Data on students' resultcognitive learning from post-test results can be categorized very well by 6%, both by 31%, enough by 44% and less by 19%. The influence of motivation on result cognitive learning using the model TGT assisted YuGiOh card is 27.2% while the remaining 72.8% is influenced by learning readiness, social support and learning facilities. The results showed that learning motivation had a positive effect on result cognitive learning in science learning using the model TGT assisted by YuGiOh card.

Resumo: A proposta deste artigo é descrever uma investigação qualitativa, caracterizada como estudo de casos múltiplos, que envolveu sete professores da área de Ciências da Natureza que atuam em uma escola pública estadual do Rio Grande do Sul. Objetivou-se que esses movimentos de pesquisa fornecessem elementos considerados indicadores específicos para a construção de ações futuras de formação continuada. Tendo-se como referência a produção acadêmica contemporânea da área educacional e as diretrizes nacionais para as licenciaturas, foi construído e aplicado um questionário com questões abertas e fechadas, utilizando-se análise de conteúdo como técnica interpretativa das respostas descritivas. As análises efetuadas revelaram aproximações e afastamentos entre as visões dos sujeitos sobre as virtudes e fraquezas pertencentes aos respectivos cursos de formação inicial, bem como especificidades das condições de trabalho e do perfil profissional de cada docente que apresenta potencial para nortear, ainda que de modo parcial, o planejamento desejado.Palavras-chave: Formação docente.

INITIAL EDUCATION AND WORKING CONDITIONS OF NATURAL SCIENCES TEACHERS: STUDY OF ELEMENTS RELATED TO CONTINUED EDUCATION Abstract: The purpose of this article is to describe a qualitative investigation characterized as a multiple case study involving seven professors from the Natural Sciences area who work in a state public school in Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. These research movements were designed to provide elements regarded as specific indicators in which to base the construction of future actions for continued education. Referring to the contemporary academic production within educational area and national guidelines for undergraduate courses, a questionnaire with open and closed questions was designed and applied using content analysis as an interpretive technique of descriptive answers. Analyses carried out revealed approximations and withdrawals between the subjects' views on the virtues and weaknesses belonging to respective initial education courses, as well as specificities of working conditions and professional profile of each teacher who has the potential to guide albeit in partially the desired planning.Keywords: Teacher education. Teaching Work. Science Education.
