PROCESS ORIENTED GUIDED INQUIRY LEARNING MODULE IN TEACHING EARTH SCIENCE: ITS ACCEPTABILITY

The aim of this study was to determine the acceptability of the developed Process Oriented Guided Inquiry Learning (POGIL) Module in teaching Earth Science as to grade 8 selected students of Pasig City Science High School and improve students success rate in learning. POGIL is an acronym for Process Oriented Guided Inquiry Learning. It uses guided inquiry – a learning cycle of exploration, concept invention and application as basis for the teachers carefully designed instructional materials that students use to guide them to construct new knowledge. It is also a classroom and laboratory technique that seeks to simultaneously teach content and key process skills such as the ability to think analytically and work effectively as part of a collaborative team.

Penerapan Pompa Tanpa Listrik (Heron’s Fountain) untuk Hidroponik DFT (Deep Flow Technique) di Kelurahan Sukamerindu Kecamatan Sungai Serut Kota Bengkulu

THE APPLICATION OF NON-ELECTRIC PUMP (HERON’S FOUNTAIN) FOR DFT HYDROPONIC (DEEP FLOW TECHNIQUE) IN SUKAMERINDU, SUNGAI SERUT, BENGKULU CITY. Science and technology-based community engagement about the application of non-electric pump (Heron’s Fountain) for DFT hydroponics (Deep Flow Technique) have been carried out for mother group (respondent) in Sukamerindu, Sungai Serut, Bengkulu City. The aim of this activity is to apply the Appropriate Technology like hydroponics and Heron’s Fountain pumps. The methods of this activities are carried out by training which include socialization and field practice. This program produces 5 hydroponics which are equipped with Heron’s Fountain pumps and brief guidebook about of technologies. The application of the Heron’s Fountain pump for DFT hydroponics was effective in circulating nutrients for hydroponic plants. The Heron’s Fountain pump works temporarily for 45 minutes (10 liters). It was considered sufficient to circulate nutrients for hydroponic plants as evidenced by the same quality for all plants. All plants grow optimally and more yields than initial estimates. The planting period to harvest using hydroponic technology and the Heron’s Fountain pump is quite short, which is approximately 2.5 months. The use of these two technologies helps partners to start farming without using soil media. The cost of making and operating both systems so as to increase the interest of respondent to implement them independently.
