This paper proposes a science and technology education program to teach junior high school students to measure terrain changes by using interferometric synthetic aperture radar (SAR). The objectives of the proposed program are to evaluate and use information technology by performing SAR data processing in order to measure ground deformation, and to incorporate an understanding of Earth sciences by analyzing interferometric SAR processing results. To draft the teaching guidance plan for the developed education program, this study considers both science and technology education. The education program was used in a Japanese junior high school. An educational SAR processor developed by the authors and the customized Delft object-oriented radar interferometric software package were employed. Earthquakes as diastrophism events were chosen as practical teaching materials. The selected events indicate clear ground deformation in differential interferograms with high coherence levels. The learners were able to investigate the ground deformations and disasters caused by the events. They interactively used computers and became skilled at recognizing the knowledge and techniques of information technology, and then they evaluated the technology. Based on the results of pre- and post-questionnaire surveys and self-evaluation by the learners, it was clarified that the proposed program was applicable for junior high school education, and the learners recognized the usefulness of Earth observation technology by using interferometric SAR. The usefulness of the teaching materials in the learning activities was also shown through the practical teaching experience.

Technology that is getting more advanced has not only positive but also negative impacts. The number of cyberbullying cases keeps increasing as the use of information technology appliances grows. The subjects of this research were 7th and 8th graders of state junior high school “S”, who were 12-14 years of age and had been using information technologies for at least 2 years. The result of this research showed that peer group conformity and emotional regulation are related to the tendency in them of becoming cyberbulliers as demonstrated by the F value=106.078 and p

The background of the problem of this study are: (1) the low pedagogical competence of the teacher in the making of the learning implementation plan (RPP), the implementation of the learning process and the implementation of learning evaluation; (2) the progress of communication and information technology, being realized or not, has an influence on the development of education. Such progress, inevitably drags the world of education to various changes in accordance with the needs and demands of the community; (3) improving education in the future requires information systems and information technology that not only function as supporting facilities, but rather as the main weapon to support the success of the world of education, so as to be able to compete in the global market; and (4) the importance of supervising online learning to improve the pedagogical competencies of Junior High School (SMP) teachers of the subject Pendidikan Agama Islam and Budi Pekerti in Cilacap District. Therefore, the purpose of this study is: “to analyze the increase in pedagogical competencies of Pendidikan Agama Islam and Budi Pekerti SMP Teacher by applying supervision of online learning in Cilacap District.” The design of this study uses the School Action Research (PTS) design which is a development of the design of Classroom Action Research (CAR) and carried out in four stages, namely planning, implementation, observation and interpretation, analysis and reflection, which is carried out in at least two cycles. The research location is the Working Area of the Supervisor of Islamic Education and Junior High School Characteristics in Cilacap District with the research subjects being all Teachers of Pendidikan Agama Islam and Budi Pekerti SMP in CilacapDistrict which are held for 3 (three) months, starting from January 2019 to the Month March 2019. Data collection techniques are observation and documentation, using data analysis techniques in the form of descriptive-qualitative and descriptive-quantitative. Based on several results of the study it can be concluded that the use of online learning supervision can improve the pedagogical competence of Pendidikan Agama Islam and Budi Pekerti SMP Teacher in Cilacap District. The increase occurred in: an increase in the average assessment of pedagogic competencies in the teachers of Pendidikan Agama Islam and Budi Pekerti SMP Teacher of Cilacap District, where the pre-cycle average was 62.63% with the criteria of "GOOD," then in cycle 1 it increased to 72 , 00% with the criteria of "GOOD," and finally in cycle 2 it increased again to 83.00% with the criteria "VERRY GOOD.".
