Interferometric Sar

This paper proposes a science and technology education program to teach junior high school students to measure terrain changes by using interferometric synthetic aperture radar (SAR). The objectives of the proposed program are to evaluate and use information technology by performing SAR data processing in order to measure ground deformation, and to incorporate an understanding of Earth sciences by analyzing interferometric SAR processing results. To draft the teaching guidance plan for the developed education program, this study considers both science and technology education. The education program was used in a Japanese junior high school. An educational SAR processor developed by the authors and the customized Delft object-oriented radar interferometric software package were employed. Earthquakes as diastrophism events were chosen as practical teaching materials. The selected events indicate clear ground deformation in differential interferograms with high coherence levels. The learners were able to investigate the ground deformations and disasters caused by the events. They interactively used computers and became skilled at recognizing the knowledge and techniques of information technology, and then they evaluated the technology. Based on the results of pre- and post-questionnaire surveys and self-evaluation by the learners, it was clarified that the proposed program was applicable for junior high school education, and the learners recognized the usefulness of Earth observation technology by using interferometric SAR. The usefulness of the teaching materials in the learning activities was also shown through the practical teaching experience.

This paper summarized the present situation and problems of technology education in Japan, particularly focused on technology education in general education. It was shown that technology education was carried out for a variety of purposes depending on grade and age. On the other hand, it was shown that technology education as general education is limited to the "Technology" of junior high school "Technology & Home Economics". The study of "Technology" in junior high school covered the basic elements of engineering. In addition, "Technology" was placed on the roles of character formation as well as academic achievement. This paper also discussed the problems related to technology education in general education in Japan in light of international comparisons and the present situation. It was shown that the amount of time dedicated to technology education in Japan was extremely small by international standards.

This study aims to measure the improvement of the teacher’s social competence in teaching junior high school in "X" before being given training (pretest) and two weeks after training (posttest). The hypothesis in this study is authoritative teacher training can improve the teacher‘s social competence in teaching junior high school "X". Teachers are given the Authoritative Teacher Training will increase the teacher’s social competence in teaching. This study is a quasi-experimental design using one group pretest, posttest and follow-up. This study used the scale of the teacher’s social competence in teaching, observation scale, and opened scale. Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon test. The result shows that there were changes in the teacher’s social competence before being given training and two weeks after training (Wilcoxon Z = -3.660 with a value of p = 0.000 (sig

Kurikulum 2013 has been officially implemented by the Ministry of Education and Culture since the school year of 2013/2014. There are various obstacles to the implementation of Kurikulum 2013 which are carried out in stages based on region, level, and class. This study aims at reviewing the implementation of Kurikulum 2013 at the junior high school in South Tangerang City during the school year of 2017/2018, by looking at the components; 1) completeness of curriculum documents; 2) the quality of student books; 3) the quality of the teacher books; 4) the quality of teacher training; 5) the quality of teacher assistance; 6) teacher competencies; and 7) implementation of learning. The method that used in this study is a survey. The results of the study found that the implementation of Kurikulum 2013 in junior high schools in South Tangerang City during the school year of 2017/2018 can be said to have been done well. However, attention needs to be addressed and improvements need to be made regarding the implementation of learning, the quality of training, and the competence of teachers because they get a fairly low score. The quality of student books, teacher books, and teacher assistance get a high enough score, so it needs to be maintained and improved on a sustainable basis. All schools have complete curriculum documents.
