  Background: Survey of researchers in SMP N 38 Semarang, it turns out there are still many teachers who use conventional learning methods and combinations of several methods have not involved students' cognitive, affective, and psychomotor aspects. Learning activities are still dominated by teachers. This resulted in students tend to be passive and the classroom atmosphere became teacher centered. To overcome this problem learning needs to be varied so that the learning process activates students more. Method: The study was conducted through the development method (research and development) which consisted of three stages, namely introduction, development, and evaluation. Results: Based on data analysis, cognitive learning outcomes reached 71.4% completeness with the results of the Gain Test of 0.71 (high gain category). Psychomotor learning outcomes achieved 74.60% achievement, achievement of affective learning outcomes was 73.39% while inquiry skills gained 71.52%. Conclusion: Based on the achievement of learning outcomes, it can be concluded that the devices developed are considered effective. Positive responses of students to teaching materials were 86.40%, while the positive responses of students to LKS reached 87.46%. This means that learning devices developed can be applied in learning.

New Jersey sixth graders who were participating in a school fundraiser to help fight childhood cancer could hardly wait to explore this problem from the September 2011 issue, which invites students to work strategically with combinations of numbers. Afterward, their teacher reflected that so many available activities claim to be authentic learning activities but require little in-depth problem solving. This one does.

Purpose This paper aims to explore stakeholder perspectives of the role of a campus eco-garden in education for sustainability (EfS). It will combine the perspectives to highlight a powerful learning environment (PLE) for university students to realize the concept of EfS. Design/methodology/approach Semi-structured interviews were conducted to reveal stakeholder understandings of a campus eco-garden, as well as its associated expectations of learning activities and education outcomes. Three stakeholder groups were interviewed; designers, educators and environmental and non-environmental subject-related students. Findings All three stakeholder groups expected cognitive learning of EfS to be enhanced by the eco-garden. The use of affective learning was not strongly expected by the stakeholders. Psychomotor learning was believed to be the most difficult to realize. To fulfill the potential of the eco-garden in EfS, all stakeholders suggested learning activities and roles for both students and teachers. The combined perspectives of the stakeholders helped to visualize a PLE to aid EfS. Practical implications This study underlines the importance of effective communication of expectations between stakeholders. It underlines the importance of integrating educational activities with the eco-garden as a PLE, highlighting the roles of teachers and students. It also sheds light on the importance of introducing a cultural component to the EfS program. Originality/value This is the first study to apply the PLE theory to enhance EfS with the aid of infrastructure. Both users and designers reveal their views on the planning of the campus eco-garden, especially in its educational function. The study is possibly the first to reveal the differences in expectations between designers and other stakeholder groups (teachers and students) using Könings et al.’s (2005) combination-of-perspectives model.

Clinical supervision is recognized as a distinctive area of practice and expertise, yet professional preparation in this area remains inadequate. This paper presents functional information describing the development and implementation of an experimental course on administration, supervision, and private practice, based on graduate student perceptions and preferences for course content and types of learning activities. Current pedagogical trends for universal design in learning and fostering student engagement were emphasized, including problem-based and collaborative learning. Results suggest that students were highly pleased with course content, interactive and group activities, as well as with assessment procedures used.
