Abilities of Physics Education Students in Constructing Graphics Based on Practicum Results and in Interpreting It

The skills to construct and interpret graphs are a form of science skills and are an important component in learning physics. The purpose of this study was to describe the ability of undergraduate physics education students to construct graphs based on practicum data and interpret them. Data obtained through respondent answer sheets, thinking-aloud recordings, and interviews. The research was conducted at the Faculty of Teacher Training and Education (FKIP) Untad and the research subjects of the Physics Education Study Program students were 6 people obtained based on the values of Basic Physics I and Basic Physics practicum II then divided into three groups of levels (high, medium, and low) with each category as many as 2 people. The results of this study indicate: 1) in general, respondents in the high, medium, and low categories can construct graphs but are not based on the prerequisite ability to construct graphs, especially in determining the x-axis and y-axis variables, 2) on the ability to interpret graphs, respondents can interpret graphs the relationship between variables on the graph but not supported by an explanation or evaluation based on proper physics concepts, 3) The strategy used by respondents in constructing graphs, in general, is to convert data in decimal form or scientific notation and 4) The difficulties experienced by respondents when constructing graphs are converting data, determining the scale and how to determine the variables on each graph axis.

Creative Thinking Profile of Senior High School Class X Students in Mathematics Problem-Solving in Reviewed of Adversity Quotient

This study aims to obtain a description of the profile of creative thinking of class X high school students in solving mathematical problems in terms of Adversity Quotient (AQ). The subjects of this study were high school students of class X who had AQ with quitter type (SQT), camper (SCP), and climber (SCB). Data collection used test methods, methods of thinking, interviews, and observation. The results of this study are: a) SQT showes the existence of fluency and flexibility in the answer, namely by writing different ways and there were ways with the same pattern. The ways that he used were new ways for her which means that SQT has a novelty in solving problems. b) SCP also showed fluency, flexibility and novelty. The two ways he given were different from the other subjects, there were answers with the same pattern, and the method used was an unusual method. c) SCB showed excellent fluency and flexibility through the three ways he used it to solve problems. All the ways that he used were new ways for her, and he is willing to solve any problems after the problem.

Characterization of Beta Chain Fibrinogen (FGB) Gene From Maleo (Macrocephalon Maleo S. Muller 1846) Tuva Village Gumbasa Sub-District Sigi Regency Central Sulawesi

The FGB gene is a gene that plays a role in synthesizing b-fibrinogen proteins and is often used as a molecular marker because it is useful for studying bird phylogenetics. The purpose of this study was to describe the character sequences of the FGB gene in Maleo birds (Macrocephalon maleo S. Muller 1864). This study uses laboratory exploratory methods. Alignment is done using the MEGA6 program (Clustal W). Phylogeny trees are constructed based on the Neighbor-Joining algorithm and the Juke-Cantor evolution model of the MEGA6 program. The sample in this study was 0.3 ml of blood from Maleo birds and members of the Megapodiidae group species used as a comparison. The results of this study indicate the length of the FGB 576 bp sequence and was identified with a base composition of 32.2% A, 30.4% T, 17.0% C and 20.3% G. Nucleotide composition of the sequence of Adenine-rich FGB genes. Analysis of the FGB gene sequence phylogeny tree produced a tree topology that was quite good and had the power to split at the interspecies level and place the maleo bird in its own line compared to other Megapoda genera.

Genetic Diversity of Plant Species Mangrove Sonneratia Spp. in Central Sulawesi and Its Utilization as a Learning Media

The mangrove Sonneratia caseolaris that grows on land (Bora) has a different morphological form from Sonneratia alba which grows on the sea coast of Parigi and Donggala. This study aims to determine the genetic diversity of mangrove species Sonneratia spp. in Central Sulawesi and utilizing research results as a learning media in the form of a genetics practicum module. The results showed that the genetic diversity of the mangrove species Sonneratia spp. in Parigi, Donggala, and Bora showed a difference, namely that Sonneratia alba which grew in Parigi and Donggala had the same similarity index, namely 88.9%, while Sonneratia caseolaris which grew in Bora had a different similarity index, namely 71.3%. From these results, a learning media in the form of a genetics practicum guide module was made and was validated by content experts, design experts, media experts, and 10 students.
