IPA Integrated is a place for students to study themselves and the surrounding environment applied in daily life. Integrated IPA Learning provides a direct experience to students through the use and development of scientific skills and attitudes. The importance of integrated IPA requires to pack learning well, integrated IPA integration with the preparation of modules combined with learning strategy can maximize the learning process in school. In SMP 209 Jakarta, the value of the integrated IPA is obtained from 34 students there are 10 students completed and 24 students are not complete because they get the value below the KKM of 68. This research is a development study with the development model of ADDIE (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation). The use of KPS-based integrated IPA modules (Science Process sSkills) on the theme of rainbow phenomenon obtained by media expert validation results with an average score of 84.38%, average material expert 82.18%, average linguist 75.37%. So the average of all aspects obtained by 80.55% is worth using and tested to students. The results of the teacher response obtained 88.69% value with excellent criteria. Student responses on a small scale acquired an average score of 85.19% with highly agreed criteria and on the large-scale student response gained a yield of 86.44% with very agreed criteria. So the module can be concluded receiving a good response by the teacher and students.

Abstract Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a global societal challenge requiring the contribution of professionals along with general community citizens for their containment. Portugal is one of the European countries where a lack of knowledge on the correct use of antimicrobials and AMR problematic is preeminent. Moreover, youth demotivation to pursue science careers is emerging. To address these problems an innovative experimental service-learning pedagogical strategy, MicroMundo@UPorto, was implemented in Portugal during 2018 through University of Porto as a partner of the global Citizen Science project ‘Tiny Earth’ responding to the AMR crisis. In this first edition of MicroMundo@UPorto, university students (n = 41; Pharmaceutical Sciences and Nutrition Sciences) organized in eight teams tutored by university professors/researchers (n = 13) on Microbiology and AMR theoretical and practical aspects as well on communication skills to enable their guidance of younger school students (n = 140/3 schools) in experiments to discover antimicrobial-producing microorganisms while exploring the soil microbial diversity. Post-survey-based evaluation revealed that this project allowed university students to acquire diverse personal, social and scientific skills while increasing AMR awareness, in the One-Health perspective, and interest for science in school students. This University to Society approach can be successfully extended across Portugal and for education in Microbiology in general, with benefits for the future generations contributing to socially responsible and scientifically-literate citizens.

Engineering education has become challenging compared to previous decade, the readiness of graduates before entering employement world is vital for the academician. Students are expected to possess all generic skill sets as needed by a qualified engineer including knowledge profile, engineering ability, communication, teamwork, and other relevant skills. In Malaysia, engineering graduates should possess 12 programme outcomes (PO) according to ETAC requirement, throughout the whole curriculum structure in diploma level. However, capstone course in Diploma Civil Engineering in UiTM only measures 3 main programme outcomes which are problem solving and scientific skills, communication skills, and ethics in engineering. The implementation of capstones course is reviewed for 3 consecutive semesters and student attaintment based on grade and programe outcomes is observed. This paper provides the assesment tools that had been mapped to programme outcomes through out 14 week lesson plan for final year students in Diploma Civil Engineering.This study was conducted in UiTM Pasir Gudang to measure the attainment of student’s skill set based on programme outcomes stated in the syllabus. It shows that, a graduate is considered to be good in communication skills and ethics in engineering but average in problem solving skills and scientific skills. Thus, a few recomandations have been made to improve the skills attainment among students at the faculty level.

The 2013 curriculum applies integrated thematic learning with a scientific approach in elementary schools. One of the scientific skills that must be mastered by students in the scientific approach is communicating. The majority of students still find it difficult to form confident characters to master these skills. Related to this, several schools hold extracurricular activities to help students develop their interests, including helping students to build self-confidence. Extracurricular that can form a confident character is extracurricular muhadhoroh. One of the institutions that implement Muhadhoroh Extracurricular is MI Islamiyah Ngarum Lamongan, This study aims to determine the application of extracurricular muhadhoroh, Knowing the confident character, and Knowing the confident character of grade III, IV and V students in thematic learning through MI Islamiyah Ngarum in the academic year 2020/2021, The results of this study indicate that extracurricular muhadhoroh MI Islamiyah Ngarum is included in the active criteria with a percentage value of 69-78%, the character of the students' confidence In class III, IV and V thematic learning at MI Islamiyah Ngarum, it is included in the confidence criteria with the results of the percentage value of 72-90, the value of r calculated based on the results of research data analysis calculated using the product moment correlation formula, namely When compared with r table, the results obtained r count> r table with a significant level of 5% (>0.5140). This shows that the correlation to the influence of Muhadhoroh extracurricular activities on the self-confident character of students in thematic learning for grades III, IV and V at MI Islamiyah Ngarum Medium.

Resumen En el marco del proyecto Small World Iniciative/MicroMundo (SWI-MicroMundo), basado en el aprendizaje-servicio, un grupo de estudiantes de bachillerato de excelencia dirigidos por un grupo de estudiantes universitarios bajo la supervisión de profesores, ha analizado diferentes muestras de suelo, aislado microorganismos con el fin de observar la diversidad microbiana, realizado ensayos de antibiosis para finalmente aislar nuevas bacterias potencialmente productoras de compuestos antimicrobianos. En este contexto, la UCM proporciona la oportunidad a estos dos niveles educativos de conocer un problema científica y socialmente relevante, implicar a los estudiantes y por supuesto, adquirir o afianzar los conocimientos científicos vinculados al problema objeto de estudio. Los integrantes del estudio se forman enfrentándose a un problema relevante a nivel mundial a través de un aprendizaje activo. Según el Plan Nacional de Resistencia a Antibióticos, se establece como uno de los objetivos priorizados la comunicación y sensibilización de la sociedad sobre la problemática de la resistencia a los antibióticos y el buen uso de estos. Se trata de aprender y al mismo tiempo, comprometerse a hacer un servicio a la comunidad a través de la comunicación de la experiencia con sus compañeros, a su entorno social y familiar. Con el fin de evaluar los conocimientos adquiridos, se utilizó la plataforma online conocida como Socrative y utilizada a través de ordenador portátil, tablet o Smartphone con conexión a internet Este sencillo método ha permitido evaluar el grado de implicación y los conocimientos alcanzados sobre la resistencia a antibióticos y las habilidades prácticas del grupo participante en el proyecto frente a otros grupos de bachillerato con diferente formación y que no han participado en la experiencia. Abstract In the context of the Small World Initiative/TinyEarth (SWI-TinyEarth) project, based on crowdsourcing, students from the Excellence high school group, supervised by university students under the tutelage of a university teacher, analyze soil samples and isolate microorganism. The purpose was to assess the microbial diversity, to acknowledge the problem about antibiotic resistance and to obtain new potential antimicrobial-producer bacteria. The Complutense University of Madrid provides the opportunity to the students to work with a real problem and to secure their scientific skills related to the project. The students also acquire tools and knowledge working with antibiotic resistance. The Antibiotic Resistance National Plan establish as a priority objective the communication and awareness of the society about the problematic, and the good use of antibiotics. It is important to communicate the students, so they can perform a social duty and inform their families and friends. To evaluate the knowledgeacquire through the experience, we applied the online tool Socrative which can be used via laptop, tablet or smartphone. This method let us evaluate the degree of involvement of the students and their antibiotic knowledge versus other high school groups.

As recent events have shown, mass-fatality disasters can have long and painful aftermaths for the relatives and friends of victims. Archaeologists are becoming increasingly involved in applying their scientific skills to medical/legal issues such as victim identification and disaster-scene investigation, with the understanding that their evidence may be challenged in court later on when matters such as inheritance of property or liability arise. Although their findings refer specifically to the ‘court of law’, an argument is presented to apply similar standards in the ‘court of history’ in which most archaeological scholarship takes place. Disaster archaeologists work as teams under the direction of a controlling authority and in close coordination with law-enforcement and emergency services, so special training and procedures (such as ‘chain-of-custody’) are required along with special health-and-safety protocols. In short, disaster archaeology is an evidence-driven, problem-solving use of archaeology to assist the authorities to find out ‘what happened’ at a disaster scene and to aid the families affected by the disaster in the recovery process. It often takes place under stressful conditions and may not be for everyone, but it makes a difference to the people involved in such a disaster.

The chapter maps the nursing practices on active service overseas that recovered men including, body care, feeding work, the management of pain and support for the dying. These four areas of nursing practice are commonly associated with nursing work, yet, as the chapter argues, in war zones, they demanded complex gendered negotiations. Comfort care placed the single female nurse too close to the naked male body and feeding work was allied to mothering, rather than professional practice. In the absence of sufficient medical officers in a war zone, pain relief demanded the development of scientific skills of diagnosis and prescription. The chapter examines how the nurses managed these contradictions to develop an understanding of the critical role of fundamental nursing care and create a space for themselves as experts by the bedside.
