Study of Assistance Development of Thematic Learning Material by Integrating New Literacy and Disaster Literacy on Science Teachers

The 4.0 industrial revolution requires humans to possess 21st century skills. Education should be able to prepare students to have 21st century skills to be successful in their life. In addition, the geographical condition of Indonesia is a disaster-prone region. For this reason, teaching should be able to develop student literacy to face the challenges of the industrial revolution 4.0 and the geographical condition of the Indonesian region. The thematic science teaching is relevant to 21st century skills, essential principles of 21st century learning, and the geographical condition of Indonesia. But the real conditions show that the integration of literacy in science teaching is still lacking and limited. A solution to solve this problem is the assistance program the development of thematic learning material by integrating new literacy and disaster literacy for science teachers in junior high school. The objective of the research is to investigate the results of the assistance program the development of thematic learning material. Participants of program assistance were 30 science teachers who were members of the Science MGMP in East Agam district. The instrument for collecting data consisted of pretest and posttest and questionnaire sheet. The data were analyzed by descriptive statistics analysis and wilcoxon signed rank test. Based on the results of data analysis can be stated that: 1). in the assistance program activities for the development of thematic science teaching material can be produced 26 teaching materials in the form of student worksheet by integrating new literacy and disaster literacy, 2). the average value of the practicality of using thematic science worksheet according to students in two junior high schools is 86.41 so that this average value can be classified into very good category, 3). the average value of participant responses to the implementation of the assistance program is 85.65 and this average value can be entered into very good category, and 4). the assistance program for developing learning material by integrating new literacy and disaster literacy is effective to improve knowledge of science teachers about data literacy, technological literacy, human literacy, and disaster literacy.

The The Impact of Problem-Based Workshops on Improving Teacher Competency in Designing Learning Based on Environmental Potential

The competence of science teachers in Padang City Junior High Schools in developing learning tools is still low, as revealed by the teacher's pre-test abilities before the workshop is held. Pre-test includes gathering information about learning resources, learning media, models / methods / approaches, and assessment instruments used by teachers not yet utilizing the environment. Referring to the problems of teachers, problem-based workshop activities are designed in an effort to improve teacher competencies in designing learning tools based on environmental potential. Problem-based workshops have stages: (1) problem identification, (2) Focusing on problems, (3) Finding alternative solutions, (4) Presentation of solutions; (5) Implementation and (6) Reflection & follow-up. The workshop was attended by 20 junior high school science teachers in Padang city. The workshop activities consisted of 2 parts, namely the workshop activities at FMIPA UNP and the Implementation activities at SMP 25 Padang. Problem-based workshops succeeded in increasing teacher competence in designing IPA-based environmental learning tools. The results of the implementation of the workshop products by the teacher showed a positive influence on student involvement and activity in learning

Fabrication Of Aquaponic System For Integrated Freshwater Fish And Vegetables Cultivation

The Community Partnership Program (PKM) activity has been carried out in Nagari Sunua, Padang Pariaman District, West Sumatra. As for Sunua's diversity, many young people drop out of school and do not have permanent jobs. This activity aims to provide training in the manufacture of aquaponic systems that combine freshwater fish cultivation with vegetable cultivation simultaneously. Partners will be given training on how to use freshwater aquaculture pond water to grow vegetables. Pool water will be flowed in the pipes where the vegetable seeds are grown. Pond water becomes fertilizer and nutrition for vegetables. Water that has passed through vegetables in the next pipe will be flowed back into the pond. This aquaponic cultivation pattern is very beneficial because it can produce vegetables and fish simultaneously in one activity. This can be a new type of business for partner groups that have not. In general, these activities can be carried out well and increase the knowledge and skills of the members of the partners involved.

Designing PISA Like Problems for West Sumatra Mathematics and Science Junior High School Teachers

PISA (Program for International Students Assessment) test result on 2018 put Indonesia in the 72th position of 78 countries. The report showed the importance to improve the level of students thinking ability. There are many possible ways to develop students’ thinking. One way to do that is by giving the students drill to solve PISA problems. However, this solution is difficult to implement because designing PISA problems is difficult for the teachers.
