Hasil dari penelitian ini antara lain sebagai berikut : Hasil monitoring dari LPMP yang terdiri dari empat kriteria yang dapat dijabarkan sebanyak 20 point namun, dari 20 poin tersebut program kerja yang menunjukkan usaha dalam meningkatkan kompetensi profesional hanya 3 poin atau 15 % saja. Selain itu dari empat kriteria pokok evaluasi MGMP Sosiologi hanya mampu memenuhi tiga kriteria saja yaitu sekitar 75 %. Dalam Peraturan Menteri Pendidikan Nasional Republik Indonesia terdapat lima kriteria yang harus dimiliki seorang guru sosiologi namun, belum semua guru sosiologi di kabupaten Sleman ini dapat menggunakan teknologi informatika dalam KBM, karena latar belakang pendidikan guru sosiologi berbeda menyebabkan perbedaan persepsi dalam penguasaan materi, stuktur, konsep dan pola pikir keilmuan mata pelajaran sosiologi.

Kegiatan penelitian dilakukan pada empat SMA di Maumere dan Larantuka. Jumlah partisipan 120 orang, diperoleh dengan teknik accidental sampling. Sebagai informasi tambahan dilakukan wawancara dengan tokoh budaya di Maumere dan tokoh agama di Larantuka. Hasil dan pembahasan : Berdasarkan pengolahan data terhadap pengukuran skala sikap diperoleh gambaran bahwa pada dasarnya remaja perempuan di Maumere dan Larantuka tidak menyetujui hubungan seks pranikah, meskipun telah terjadi pergeseran nilai. Sikap ini berdasarkan pada nilai-nilai pribadi yang diyakini remaja yaitu pertimbangan etika dan moral, dampak kehamilan, aborsi atau penyakit menular seksual. Dalam konteks budaya, pertimbangan remaja adalah sanksi sosial yang akan diperoleh dari kehamilan di luar nikah. Sedang dalam konteks religius, remaja mempertimbangkan tentang dosa. Berdasarkan diskusi kelompok terarah (FGD) disimpulkan bahwa nilai religius dirasakan sangat penting oleh partisipan karena dapat menumbuhkan iman dan memberi dorongan,arah dalam bertingkah laku. Nilai-nilai religius juga berperan dalam memberi motivasi dan membimbing seseorang untuk melakukan perbuatan yang baik. Dalam konteks budaya, para partisipan berpendapat bahwa budaya sangat penting karena dalam budaya diajarkan tentang perilaku yang pantas dan tidak pantas dilakukan. Oleh karena itu dibutuhkan pendampingan orangtua dalam mendidik dan menanamkan nilai-nilai moral dan etika.Kesimpulan : Pernyataan sikap tidak setuju terhadap perilaku seks pranikah merupakan internalisasi nilai-nilai budaya dan religius yang akhirnya membentuk sikap remaja di Maumere dan Larantuka Kata kunci : Peran nilai pribadi, nilai budaya dan nilai religius, sikap remaja perempuan, perilaku seks pranikah, Maumere dan Larantuka, Nusa Tenggara Timur Susana Sabarni, Lidia Laksana HidajatABSTRACT Background: The rapid development of information technology, making it easier for teenagers to access all things related to information about sex.

Based on focus group discussions (FGD) it was concluded that religious values were felt to be very important by participants because they could foster faith and give encouragement, direction in behaving. Religious values also play a role in motivating and guiding someone to do good deeds. In the cultural context, the participants thought that culture was very important because in the culture it was taught about appropriate and inappropriate behavior. Therefore, parents are needed to assist in educating and instilling moral and ethical values.Conclusion: A statement of disagreement with premarital sex behavior is an internalization of cultural and religious values that ultimately shape their attitudes Keywords: The role of personal values, cultural values and religious values, attitudes of adolescent girls, premarital sexual behavior, Maumere and Larantuka, Nusa Tenggara Timur

Komunikasi orang tua dan anak memegang peran penting untuk penanaman nilai-nilai moral dalam menghindari perilaku negatif, seperti perilaku seks bebas pranikah pada anak. Penelitian ini memiliki tujuan untuk menganalisis sejauh mana edukasi dan penerapan aturan-aturan oleh orang tua untuk mencegah seks pranikah. Penelitian ini merupakan jenis penelitian kualitatif deskriptif, dengan wawancara mendalam terhadap empat orang ibu dan empat orang anak. Pemilihan informan dilakukan secara purposive sampling. Teori yang digunakan adalah rules theory dengan spesifikasi rule-governing yang dikemukakan oleh Shimanoff. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kesadaran dari pentingnya edukasi tentang seks serta bahaya seks pranikah oleh ibu selaku orang tua masih sangat minim, karena dianggap masih terlalu tabu dan belum pantas diberikan dengan usia remaja. Akibatnya, banyak dari remaja yang memperoleh informasi terkait dengan seks dari sumber lain, seperti teman sebaya dan internet. Hal ini mengakibatkan para remaja salah memaknai informasi bahkan menggunakan informasi itu untuk melakukan hal-hal buruk seperti perilaku seks pranikah tanpa ada aturan dari orang tua yang bersifat mengikat. Communication between parents and their children plays an important role in instilling moral values in avoiding negative behaviours, such as premarital sexual behaviour. This study aims to determine the extent of education and application of the rules by parents to prevent premarital sex. This research employed a descriptive qualitative study through an in-depth interview with four mothers and four children. The selection of informants is done by purposive sampling. The theory used was the rules theory with the rule-governing specification, purposed by Shimanoff. The results showed that awareness of the importance of sex education and the dangers of premarital sex was relatively low because it was considered inappropriate to discuss it with their children. As a result, their children obtained sex-related information mostly from other sources, such as peers and the internet. This resulted in the misinterpretation of information which encouraged negative behaviours which have intensified without any binding rules from parents.

Abstract This study evaluates the importance of wild edible mushrooms as food in three villages of the Binga, Zimbabwe. A purposive sampling method was employed to select three villages from two (Local Government Area) wards, 25 households per each village randomly selected from the total household list provided by the district administration department, with a total of 75 households. An open ended, structured semi structured interview guide was used to provide a preliminary list of wild edible mushrooms in the area and the identification methods used, using seven households from the three villages. Structured, semi-structured and guided forest walks with some of the informants and forest picking observation was carried out with local guide assistants who have the skills of local (Tonga) language and Shona language. An econometric model was used to identify the factors influencing wild edible mushroom consumption in the study area. Descriptive statistics was used to describe the socio-economic characteristics of the respondents. Results from purposive sampling showed that seven ethnospecies of wild edible mushrooms were listed (in Tonga and scientific names in parenthesis: Bakapyapya (Cantharellus spp), Bakayanda (Amanita loosii (zambiana)), Bwabbaya (Termitomyces spp), Indyuu (Termitomyces titanicus), Madongila (Amanita spp), Mbuse (Termitomyces clypeatus), Nowa (Lactarius kabansus) and Indyuu, Madongila, Nowa) and of these three were noted as extinct species (Indyuu, Madongila, Nowa). About 43% of the participants consumed wild edible mushrooms once every day, 19% twice every day and 14% every second day during the rainy season, underpinning the potential importance of wild edible mushrooms for food security. Around 52% of the participants collected wild edible mushrooms once every day, 28.6% of the every second day while around 16% collected once a week, during the rainy season. Ethnobotanical knowledge of wild edible mushrooms was mainly passed orally from elderly to young people (72.9% of the participants), while 15.7% passed by mothers to their children and 11% learned from female elders to young women and girls. Identification techniques such as texture feeling, colour underneath and on top, breaking and observing milk like liquid oozing out and points of collection were used. Women (21.4%), women accompanied by girl child (24.3%) are especially involved in wild edible mushrooms collection, while a minority 1.4% men, women accompanied by boy child (7.1%) did the collection. The mean monthly income per household is US$108.57, largest in Simandala and lowest in Dumbwe. The average age of the participants is 45.37 years. Of the 70 participants, 61.4 were female and 38.6 were male. Average consumption of wild edible mushrooms per meal per household is 1.436kg. About 95.7% of the participant served wild edible mushrooms as main relish, accompanying the staple. The mostly consumed were Indyuu (Zhouchuru) and Bakayanda (Nhedzi), consumed by 100% of the participants.
