PENGEMBANGAN SCIENCE TEST UNTUK MENGUKUR HOTS DAN DIGITAL LITERACY SISWA SMP PADA TEMA KEBISINGAN KOTA AbstractThe 2013 Curriculum emphasizes the process to improve HOTS and digital literacy. However, no appropriate science test instrument can measure the combination of these two aspects in contextual topics and relate to real-world problems. This kind of science test will engage students in-depth thinking as well as improve their digital literacy. This research aims to develop science tests based on HOTS and digital literacy in the City Noise theme for 8th-grade students. HOTS is operationally defined as critical thinking, creativity, collaboration, and communication (4C), while digital literacy is a thinking and operation skill. Borg & Gall models were adopted in this research and development. A total of 21 private school students in Semarang were subject to this research and investigated the validity and reliability of developed science tests. Based on expert judgment, the science test instrument, which consists of 25 multiple choice items and five essay items, was in a very good category. Based on the Rasch model analysis, the science tests are valid (28 items are valid) and reliable (Alpha cronbach=0.79). It can be concluded that the developed science test is feasible to use to measure HOTS and digital literacy of junior high school students on the topic of the City Noise.AbstrakKurikulum 2013 menekankan pada proses peningkatan HOTS dan digital literacy. Namun, belum banyak tersedia instrumen tes sains yang mampu mengukur kombinasi dari kedua aspek tersebut dalam topik yang kontekstual dan berhubungan dengan masalah nyata. Jenis science test seperti ini dapat melibatkan siswa dalam proses berpikir mendalam serta dapat meningkatkan digital literacy. Tujuan dari penelitian ini yaitu mengembangkan science test berbasis HOTS dan digital literacy pada tema Kebisingan Kota untuk siswa kelas 8. HOTS secara operasional didefinisikan sebagai critical thinking, creativity, collaboration and communication (4C) sementara digital literacy sebagai thinking skills dan operation skills. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian pengembangan (R&D) yang mengadaptasi dari Borg & Gall. Sebanyak 21 siswa dari SMP swasta di Semarang digunakan sebagai subjek dalam penelitian ini dan digunakan untuk mengetahui validitas dan reliabilitas science test hasil pengembangan. Berdasarkan hasil validasi ahli, instrumen science test yang terdiri dari 25 item pilihan ganda dan 5 item uraian termasuk dalam kategori baik. berdasarkan hasil analisis Rasch model, science test dikatakan valid (28 item valid) dan reliabel (Alpha Cronbach=0,79). Dengan demikian dapat disimpulkan bahwa science test hasil pengembangan layak digunakan untuk mengukur HOTS dan digital literacy siswa SMP pada tema Kebisingan Kota.

The Subject

The purpose of the article is to identify possible directions for the development of the content of the school informatics course in the era of digital transformations for the formation of digital literacy of students. The study is based on the results of the analysis of approximate basic educational programs of secondary general education in the aspect of the planned personal, metasubject and subject learning outcomes, including in the study of informatics, a review of the content of school textbooks on informatics, scientific developments in the field of teaching informatics by domestic and foreign authors, generalization existing pedagogical experience in teaching informatics in different countries. The authors define digital literacy as an interdisciplinary educational result and substantiate the leading role of informatics in its development. The authors indicate the directions for the development of informatics in schools in various areas of digital literacy (hardware and software fundamentals, information literacy, digital content creation, security, problem solving, career competencies). The authors talk about a new section of school informatics, "Fundamentals of digital literacy and cybersecurity". which consistently and systematically demonstrates to students the changes caused by digital innovation. The authors indicate the possible content of this section. This is a new, valuable and practically significant material for domestic and foreign school education. A detailed description of digital reality in a school informatics course allows us to model the development of students' digital literacy and establish criteria and indicators for its assessment in various situations: from motivation to mastering digital literacy, acquiring digital skills with a general way of performing educational actions and on the subject content of a school informatics course to meaningful and the systematic practical use of digital skills.

Formation of an educational weekend program popularizing the foundations of mineralogy, botany and local history of the area, developed for primary and secondary school students is considered. The program development and implementation was carrying out for the Pushchino Museum of Ecology and Local Lore in 2018-2019. Possibilities of initial acquaintance with the world of plants and minerals within the framework of the museum exposition in combination with both excursion and independent activity on the ecological path of the city and in the Green Zone are shown. A thematic selection of classical popular scientific literature has been made to develop further keen interest in the subject. The program of acquaintance with the area was tested on the groups of the Tatiana school in Moscow, students of summer camps from general education schools and students of the ecological circle “Living River” in Pushchino town.

This paper examines how mass ridership data can help describe cities from the bikers' perspective. We explore the possibility of using the data to reveal general bikeability patterns in 202 major Chinese cities. This process is conducted by constructing a bikeability rating system, the Mobike Riding Index (MRI), to measure bikeability in terms of usage frequency and the built environment. We first investigated mass ridership data and relevant supporting data; we then established the MRI framework and calculated MRI scores accordingly. This study finds that people tend to ride shared bikes at speeds close to 10 km/h for an average distance of 2 km roughly three times a day. The MRI results show that at the street level, the weekday and weekend MRI distributions are analogous, with an average score of 49.8 (range 0–100). At the township level, high-scoring townships are those close to the city centre; at the city level, the MRI is unevenly distributed, with high-MRI cities along the southern coastline or in the middle inland area. These patterns have policy implications for urban planners and policy-makers. This is the first and largest-scale study to incorporate mobile bike-share data into bikeability measurements, thus laying the groundwork for further research.

The effective, efficient and equitable policing of urban areas rests on an appreciation of the qualities and scale of, as well as the factors shaping, demand. It also requires an appreciation of the factors shaping the resources deployed in their address. To this end, this article probes the extent to which policing demand (crime, anti-social behaviour, public safety and welfare) and deployment (front-line resource) are similarly conditioned by the social and physical urban environment, and by incident complexity. The prospect of exploring policing demand, deployment and their interplay is opened through the utilisation of big data and artificial intelligence and their integration with administrative and open data sources in a generalised method of moments (GMM) multilevel model. The research finds that policing demand and deployment hold varying and time-sensitive association with features of the urban environment. Moreover, we find that the complexities embedded in policing demands serve to shape both the cumulative and marginal resources expended in their address. Beyond their substantive policy relevance, these findings serve to open new avenues for urban criminological research centred on the consideration of the interplay between policing demand and deployment.
