Comparative Study of Ensemble Models of Deep Convolutional Neural Networks for Crop Pests Classification

Pest infestations on wheat, corn, soybean, and other crops can cause substantial losses to their yield. Early diagnosis and automatic classification of various insect pest categories are of considerable importance for accurate and intelligent pest control. However, given the wide variety of crop pests and the high degree of resemblance between certain pest species, the automatic classification of pests can be very challenging. To improve the classification accuracy on publicly available D0 dataset with 40 classes, this paper compares studies on the use of ensemble models for crop pests classification. First, six basic learning models as Xception, InceptionV3, Vgg16, Vgg19, Resnet50, MobileNetV2 are trained on D0 dataset. Then, three models with the best classification performance are selected. Finally, the ensemble models, i.e, linear ensemble named SAEnsemble and nonlinear ensemble SBPEnsemble, are designed to combine the basic learning models for crop pests classification. The accuracies of SAEnsemble and SBPEnsemble improved by 0.85% and 1.49% respectively compared to basic learning model with the highest accuracy. Comparison of the two proposed ensemble models show that they have different performance under different condition. In terms of performance metrics, SBPEnsemble giving accuracy of classification at 96.18%, is more competitive than SAEnsemble.

Psikoedukasi Membangun Fondasi Belajar Anak Melalui Aktivitas Gerak

Dalam dunia pendidikan, orangtua merupakan partner guru di sekolah. Mereka memiliki peran untuk memfasilitasi learning dan berbagai aspek perkembangan siswa. Sebagian besar orangtua belum pernah belajar tentang bagaimana mereka dapat memfasilitasi anak-anaknya belajar. Belajar bukan sekedar belajar secara akademik, dengan mengajarkan Matematika, Biologi, Ilmu Pengetahuan Sosial, dan sebagainya, namun terlebih penting lagi pagi anak-anak yang berada pada usia dini dan Sekolah dasar untuk mengetahui berbagai keterampilan dasar Learning yang akan menolong anak-anak mengembangkan pengetahuan dan keterampilan belajarnya pada usia yang lebih besar atau pada tingkat pendidikan yang lebih tinggi. Terdapat cukup banyak kasus mengindikasikan bahwa siswa PAUD, SD, SMP bahkan SMA mengalami hambatan dalam belajar. Bentuk-bentuk hambatan dalam belajar ini seperti rentang perhatian yang pendek, kesulitan konsentrasi, sulit mengingat materi yang disampaikan guru, bahkan sulit memahami instruksi guru dan orangtua. Pendekatan yang terbukti efektif untuk diterapkan dalam mengembangkan kemampuan belajar dasar (basic learning ability) siswa, yaitu menggunakan pendekatan aktivitas gerak. Pengabdian kepada Masyarakat (PkM) dalam bentuk psikoedukasi ini diberikan kepada para orangtua siswa di Sekolah Klasikal Terang Nusantar dan PUSPA (Pusat Pengembangan Anak) Terang Nusantara di Bandung. Melalui topik bahasan yang diberikan berharap orangtua dapat mengajak anak-anaknya bergerak dan melakukan permainan edukatif yang dapat meletakkan dasar-dasar/ fondasi yang kuat bagi perkembangan kemampuan belajar anak-anak mereka. Hasil evaluasi kegiatan melalui metode survei menunjukkan respon yang positif dari orangtua, demikian pula dengan hasil evaluasi berdasarkan pengetahuan dan sikap orang tua untuk mengaplikasikan materi yang dipelajari. Psikoedukasi ini dapat dilakukan pada orangtua siswa di sekolah lainnya.

A Study on Performance Diagnosis of College English Courses in General Education after Core Competency-Based Reform －The Case of I University

This study conducted a basic learning performance diagnosis for each College English course falling under the purview of basic general education. In line with the five core competencies of I University, the area of foreign language in basic general education focused on communication competency. This study explored the reactions of students taking College English courses to examine whether each course matched the core competency focused on communication, especially the basic learning competence for English communication skills and experiences acquired through the knowledge provided and what changes were needed in the curriculum to improve students’ English communication competence. Through a survey, educational improvements recognized by students who participated in College English I (reading), College English II (listening), and College English III (speaking) classes were compared and analyzed. The performance diagnosis for the study aimed to measure learning performance obtained through each course and utilize it as a basic mean for improving curricula for College English courses. For performance diagnosis, the Learning Performance Diagnosis Tool developed by the Korea National Institute for General Education’s General Education Standards in 2016 was selected. Diagnosis questions from the areas of “basic learning competency” and “knowledge and experience” were selected, and each question was measured using a 5-point Likert scale. The performance diagnosis survey involved 1,366 of 2,063 students (66.2%) in all three courses. Based on the analysis result, students reported that their English communication competency had improved in each course. This result could be interpreted as indicating that the core competency pursed in the area of foreign language at I University and the direction of education pursued in College English courses were appropriate. However, slightly different from basic learning competence area, the performance indicators relating to class activities questions in knowledge and experience area were found to be lower than that of other questions. During the semester, online and offline classes had been conducted depending on the COVID-19 situation, and it can be assumed that this situation resulted in many inconveniences in terms of utilizing effective class activities where students could interact with the professor and classmates. It also seemed urgent to develop effective non-face-to-face or online class activities to prepare for the COVID-19 pandemic era.
