Abstrak Salah satu tugas seorang guru adalah menyelenggarakan kegiatan belajar mengajar, didalamnya guru mempunyai tugas mengajar. Oleh karena itu guru hendaknya menguasai seluruh bidang studi, termasuk matematika. Di SDN Karawang Kulon I seorang guru merangkap sebagai guru kelas Semua mata pelajaran pokok diajarkan oleh satu guru. Akibatnya guru di SDN Karawang Kulon I belum dapat menguasai seluruh bidang studi pokok dengan baik, termasuk Ilmu Pengetahuan Alam. Ilmu Pengetahuan Alam memegang peranan penting dalam pendidikan masyarakat baik sebagai objek langsung (fakta, keterampilan, konsep, prinsip) maupun objek tak langsung (bersikap kritis, logis, tekun, mampu memecahkan masalah, dan lain-lain). Selain sebagai ilmu pengetahuan, IPA juga sebagai alat maupun sebagai pembentuk sikap yang diharapkan. Di SDN Karawang Kulon I, IPA menjadi mata pelajaran yang kurang diperhatikan oleh sebagian guru. Hal ini terbukti ketika proses pembelajaran guru tampak kurang antusias dalam menyampaikan materi. Dalam kegiatan pembelajaran di SDN Karawang Kulon I, sebelum menjalankan kegiatan belajar mengajar IPA di kelas 4, guru melakukan persiapan yaitu menyusun rencana pelaksanaan pembelajaran (RPP) dan menyiapkan berbagai bahan pelajaran yang diperlukan. Berdasarkan uraian di atas, guru mencoba mencari jalan keluar dengan merubah pola mengajarnya seperti dengan menerapkan pendekatan yang 6 sesuai dengan sub pokok bahasan yang sedang dipelajari, misalnya dengan penerapan pendekatan Contextual Teaching and Learning (CTL). Abstract: One of the tasks of a teacher is to organize teaching and learning activities, in which the teacher has a teaching assignment. Therefore the teacher should master all fields of study, including mathematics. At Karawang Kulon I Elementary School a teacher concurrently as a class teacher All the main subjects are taught by one teacher. As a result, the teachers at the Karawang Kulon I Elementary School have not been able to master all major subject areas, including Natural Sciences. Natural Science plays an important role in public education both as a direct object (facts, skills, concepts, principles) and indirect objects (being critical, logical, diligent, able to solve problems, etc.). Aside from being a science, science is also a tool as well as an expected form of attitude. In Karawang Kulon I Elementary School, Natural Sciences became a subject that was not noticed by some teachers. This is evident when the teacher's learning process seems less enthusiastic in delivering the material. In the learning activities at Karawang Kulon I Elementary School, before carrying out science teaching and learning activities in grade 4, the teacher made preparations, namely preparing a lesson plan (RPP) and preparing various lesson materials needed. Based on the description above, the teacher tries to find a way out by changing his teaching pattern such as by applying the 6 approach in accordance with the sub-subject being studied, for example by applying the Contextual Teaching and Learning(CTL) approach.

Abstract Based on the survey, SMP Negeri 4 Semarang had many parrarel classes that it had?é?á 3 hours/week for science subject. To support it, this school was equipped by having a natural sciences labolatory. Actually, the teaching and learning process at the labolatory has been done well, but it needed to develop. Thus, they still need to buy?é?á reagent?é?á in chemistry store or health labolatory to help teaching natural sciences on practical work. Therefore, that chemistry reagent was not in new condition. Chemistry reagent which was kept too long in a storage place would decrease its ?é?áquality, then it will reduce the validation result if it is used for experiment on practical work.?é?á This case was caused by the teachers whose lack of skills in using the practical tools and understanding the function of these tools and materials. Then, we need a management in how to use practical work especially chemistry materials and reagent. The target of this program was natural sciences teachers, labolatory assistants and students of SMP Negeri 4 Semarang. The output result for this program was chemistry reagent and a set of equipment. This training makes the teachers and labolatory assistants more competent in providing chemistry reagent for natural sciences practical work autonomously. Key words: chemistry reagent, natural sciences teachers, labolatory assistants.


Francis Darwin, the third son of Charles Darwin, was born at Down on August 16, 1848; he died at Cambridge on September 19, 1925. In his ‘Recollections' (one of the essays in “Spring-time and other Essays” (1920)) he says that he was christened at Malvern—“a fact in which I had a certain unaccountable pride. But now my only sensation is one of surprise at having been christened at all, and a wish that I had received some other name." When he was twelve years old he went to the Grammar School at Clapham kept by the Rev. Charles Pritchard, who became Savilian Professor of Astronomy at Oxford. This school was selected on account of its nearness to Down, and also because it “had the merit of giving more mathematics and science than could then be found in public schools.” He was admitted to Trinity College, Cambridge, in 1866, where, in those more peaceful days, from his bedroom he heard the nightingales sing through the happy May nights. He described the teaching of biology at Cambridge as being “in a somewhat dead condition. Indeed, I hardly think it had advanced much from the state of things which existed in 1828, when my father entered Christ’s College. The want of organised practical work in Zoology was perhaps a blessing in disguise; for it led me to struggle with the subject by myself. I used to get snails and slugs and dissect their dead bodies, comparing my results with books hunted up in the University Library, and this was a real bit of education.” On one occasion “a thoughtful brother sent me a dead porpoise, which (to the best of my belief) I dissected, to the horror of the bedmaker, in my College rooms.” After obtaining a First Class in the Natural Sciences Tripos in 1870 he went to St. George’s Hospital and in due course took the Cambridge M. B. degree. In London he “had the luck to work in the laboratory of Dr. Klein,” who gave him “the first opportunity of seeing science in the making—of seeing research from the inside” and thus implanted in his mind the desire to work at science for its own sake. The chance of doing this, he says, came when his father took him as his assistant. He did not carry out his intention of becoming a practising physician: “happily for me the Fates willed otherwise.” He returned from London to the home at Down and for eight years acted as secretary and assistant to his father.

Purpose The purpose of this systematic review was to identify parent education procedures implemented in intervention studies focused on expressive verbal communication for nonverbal (NV) or minimally verbal (MV) children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Parent education has been shown to be an essential component in the habilitation of individuals with ASD. Parents of individuals with ASD who are NV or MV may particularly benefit from parent education in order to provide opportunities for communication and to support their children across the life span. Method ProQuest databases were searched between the years of 1960 and 2018 to identify articles that targeted verbal communication in MV and NV individuals with ASD. A total of 1,231 were evaluated to assess whether parent education was implemented. We found 36 studies that included a parent education component. These were reviewed with regard to (a) the number of participants and participants' ages, (b) the parent education program provided, (c) the format of the parent education, (d) the duration of the parent education, (e) the measurement of parent education, and (f) the parent fidelity of implementation scores. Results The results of this analysis showed that very few studies have included a parent education component, descriptions of the parent education programs are unclear in most studies, and few studies have scored the parents' implementation of the intervention. Conclusions Currently, there is great variability in parent education programs in regard to participant age, hours provided, fidelity of implementation, format of parent education, and type of treatment used. Suggestions are made to provide both a more comprehensive description and consistent measurement of parent education programs.
