Persepsi Mahasiswa terhadap Perkuliahan Daring Matakuliah Metode Numerik

This study was to explore informatics students' perceptions about the implementation of online lectures using the google form application. This was a descriptive case study involving 150 students of the 3rd-semester of the informatics program Universitas Indraprasta PGRI Jakarta Academic Year 2019/2020. The results were obtained through a questionnaire, interviews, and observations. The data analysis focused on student interpretation and reaction. The results of the questionnaire showed that 88% of students have positive statements, while another 12% were negative. The data also revealed that average students give a positive response to online lectures and they can use supporting applications of google form, they agreed that online lectures were very fun and effective during a stable internet connection. However, students needed to have face to face lectures to ensure their understanding.

FUNCTIONAL LITERACY OF A PRIMARY SCHOOL STUDENT: INTERPRETATION, DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY AND DIAGNOSTIC TOOLS

The article attempts to describe the conceptual foundations of monitoring the functional literacy of primary school children. The author proposes a model and the corresponding diagnostic tools for the development of functional literacy of primary schoolchildren. Three stages of monitoring functional literacy of primary schoolchildren are described, each of which includes the study of social and communicative, physical and artistic-aesthetic, speech and cognitive development of children. The leading role of pedagogical supervision and teamwork of school teachers in the course of accompanying the formation of functional literacy of younger students is substantiated.

IDENTIFIKASI LEVEL KINERJA NOVICE MELALUI KEMAMPUAN BERPIKIR KRITIS SISWA (INTERPRETASI, ANALISIS)

The aspect that has an important role in education is learning, so it needs to be developed in order to explore the potential in students so that it is expected to create quality graduates from the teaching process that has been implemented by the teacher. Every student can be trained for their critical abilities and always be improved. This type of research used in this study is a qualitative study using a description approach. Subjects were taken based on daily test scores that have been documented by the mathematics teacher. Data collection techniques using tests and interviews. Based on the result of this study known that the level of novice performance through the ability to think critically that the aspect of student interpretation can not present problems according to questions in the form of mathematical language clearly and in the analysis aspect students do not write the information contained in the questions and students can write the concept however is still wrong or incompatible.

DNA → RNA: What Do Students Think the Arrow Means?

The central dogma of molecular biology, a model that has remained intact for decades, describes the transfer of genetic information from DNA to protein though an RNA intermediate. While recent work has illustrated many exceptions to the central dogma, it is still a common model used to describe and study the relationship between genes and protein products. We investigated understanding of central dogma concepts and found that students are not primed to think about information when presented with the canonical figure of the central dogma. We also uncovered conceptual errors in student interpretation of the meaning of the transcription arrow in the central dogma representation; 36% of students (n = 128; all undergraduate levels) described transcription as a chemical conversion of DNA into RNA or suggested that RNA existed before the process of transcription began. Interviews confirm that students with weak conceptual understanding of information flow find inappropriate meaning in the canonical representation of central dogma. Therefore, we suggest that use of this representation during instruction can be counterproductive unless educators are explicit about the underlying meaning.
