Synthesis of the Current Knowledge Concerning the Construction of French Traditional Cob Building for Giving Recommendations

The museum of the “Bourrine du bois Juquaud” is a tourist site located in the town of Saint Hilaire de Riez in France. It presents the daily life of the inhabitants of the marsh in the early twentieth century and their traditional earthen houses called Bourrine. The Bourrine is a cob construction with reed roof. The earth used for walls is soil from marshlands added with dune sand and straw fibres but some part are without fibres like coating applied on walls. By now, the knowledge acquired on the implementation of these mixtures for the lifting of the walls are oral knowledge and it is necessary to ensure the preservation of this traditional heritage. Currently the done reparations present cracks due to shrinkage. This study aims at well defining the mixtures by a scientific approach. The earth and dune sand were analyzed by taking cores from different existing bourrines and also by extracting soil on site. Different mixtures were produced by varying the proportion of earth sand and water. The linear shrinkage were measured. Corrections were done to get the best mixture for manufacturing and repairing the Bourrines.

Formalization and Knowledge Representation in Advanced Engineering Informatics

The primary goal of this article in the research area of Advanced Engineering Informatics (AEIs) is to depict and formalize engineering knowledge that is multidimensional. This paper introduces conceptual framework and rationality as implicit methodologies to regularize knowledge. The objective of professionals, as well as the circumstances in which they work, should be considered when depicting and standardizing knowledge. The constructs of epistemology, rationality, and context are used to communicate various alternative data analysis techniques and practices that expert can use to institutionalize intricate engineering expertise and to substantiate whether a specialized conceptual model can support engineers with their challenging operations. A bottom-up method of research in advanced engineering, encompassing engineers, is suggested in this article. A social scientific approach to engendering knowledge for formalization and validating it is also recommended by us for scientists.

Pengembangan Multimedia Interaktif Berbasis Pendekatan Saintifik pada Materi Bangun Datar untuk Siswa Kelas IV Sekolah Dasar

This study aims to produce interactive multimedia based on scientific approach on plane shape material for the fourth grade elementary school students. This is a research and development using a 4-D model consisting of 4 stages, namely: defining, designing, developing, and disseminating. This research data collection technique is based on the results of the assessment by three experts, namely: expert on material, expert on media, and linguists. The expert's assessment shows that interactive multimedia meets the eligibility criteria. At the product feasibility test stage in a small group consisting of nine students, it was found that interactive multimedia met the eligibility criteria with an average score of 3.01 with a maximum score of 4.0. Based on the results of the study, it can be concluded that the interactive multimedia design based on the scientific approach developed in this study is proven to be feasible and can be used for fourth grade elementary school students.

IMPLEMENTASI PENDEKATAN SAINTIFIK PADA PEMBELAJARAN ILMU PENGETAHUAN ALAM DI MIS IKHWANUL MUKMININ

The implementation of a scientific approach is something that needs to be studied more deeply in order to create an active and efficient learning process. This study aims to determine the implementation of learning plans and the application of the scientific approach by science teachers. The method used in this research is a qualitative research method which is also known as naturalistic research. The result of this study is that the science teacher understands the theoretical scientific approach, and is equipped with a plan in the RPP document which is prepared before the lesson takes place. In the process of applying the scientific approach, it takes a longer time to carry out observations, where the media displayed is limited to the use of simple paper, due to the limited supporting learning media such as LCD projectors, and so on.

Influencing the Collective Mind

A convergence of quantum-field-based scientific, philosophical, psychological, esoteric, and religious research has contributed to a better understanding of Carl Jung's collective unconscious that is generating a paradigm shift in the scientific approach to cosmic reality and human purpose. Collective humanity now faces responsibility for intentional cosmic participation to change or reprogram this collective entity that is us. Because humans have significant agency in a universal frequency scaled-sentient and stratified unified field, human responsibility for influencing evolution is becoming more apparent. Indicators suggest that humans are responsible for an impending crisis of planetary extinction, which they are now capable of consciously re-programming. In this context, the author's extreme paranormal experiences of ‘IT'—a planetary analog for the collective human unconscious mind—is uniquely relevant.

THE REPRESENTATION OF WOMEN IN MINANGKABAU SOCIAL STRUCTURE AT TENGGELAMNYA KAPAL VAN DER WIJCK FILM

This article aims to assess how women in the Minangkabau social structure are represented in the film Tengelamnya Kapal Vanderwijck. This study uses a qualitative descriptive method using a scientific approach to cinematography, body language, and culture to analyze the relationship between elements including setting/attributes, ceremonial costumes. This research is dissected by the theory of social structure and feminism in Minangkabau traditional culture. The analysis of this film finds that the film Tenggelammnya Kapal Vanderwijck criticizes the position of women in the form of customary rules in Minangkabau in the decision to choose a life partner, which is determined by Uncle (mamak).

Optimalisasi pembelajaran abad 21 pada SMP dan SMA

Penelitian ini dilatarbelakangi oleh bagaimana memaksimalkan suatu pembelajaran pada abad ini. Ada beberapa konsep pembelajaran abad 21 yang harus dimiliki oleh dunia pendidikan sekarang ialah 21 stCentury Skills (keterampilan abad 21), Scientific Approach (pendekatan saintifik) dan Auntentik Assessment (penilaian autentik). Dari ketiga metode tersebut yang banyak digunakan dalam bidang pendidikan agar dapat bertahan dan menghadapi tantangan dan perubahan zaman yang sepenuhnya difokuskan oleh peserta didik dan di dukung oleh guru dalam mengembangkannya ialah “keterampilan abad 21”. Keterampilan terdiri dari 1) Communication (Komunikasi); 2) Critical Thinking (Berpikir Kritis); 3) Collaboration (Kolaborasi); 4) Creativity (Kreatifitas) atau biasa disebut dengan 4C. tentunya degan hal ini dapat memberikan pengaruh yang hebat guna pemuda (generasi penerus) dalam menantang sebuah acuan kehidupan revolusi 4.0 (abad 21) dan tentunya peserta didik akan menjadi manusia pemikir, terampil serta sadar informasi, pengetahuan maupun teknologi. Tujuan penelitian ini untuk mengetahui seberapa optimalnya pembelajaran abad 21 di tingkat SMP dan SMA. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian menggunakan jenis penelitian deskriptif melalui pendekatan kuantitatif dan diatur dengan model survey. Populasi dan sampel didapatkan menggunakan teknik random sampling dengan menunjuk beberapa guru dan pelajar ditingkat SMP dan SMA untuk dijadikan responden. Hasil penelitian mengungkapkan bahwa sedikit responden yang menyatakan ketidak setujuannya dalam penerapan keterampilan 4C dan terdapat 32 dari 45 responden yang menyatakan persetujuannya dalam penerapan keterampilan 4C. Sehingga dalam menerapkan keterampilan tersebut dapat dikatakan maksimal. Penelitian ini dilatarbelakangi oleh bagaimana memaksimalkan suatu pembelajaran pada abad ini.
