The Implementation of K13 Curriculum in Madrasah Aliyah in The South West Region of Aceh (English Teachers' Perspectives)

Teacher's perception of the K-13 is believed to be one of the factors that lead to the success or failure of the curriculum implementation. This is because the K-13 makes teachers have to adjust and change the learning style in the classroom. Considering the various phenomena about the K-13, the researcher was interested in conducting research the Implementation of the K-13 in the South West Region of Aceh (English Teachers’ Perspectives). In this research, the researchers also analyzed some obstacles faced by the English Teachers in implementing the K-13 and what solutions offered by STAIN Teungku Dirundeng Meulaboh as one of the universities which produce the teachers in the South West Region of Aceh. The research applied quantitative and qualitative approach that involved 21 English teachers who teach English at Madrasah across South West of Aceh. The result of the study indicated that the implementation of K-13 has not been effective due to several reasons such as the allocation time is insufficient and too many forms of assessment. Moreover, the English teachers issued that the biggest obstacle in implementing the K-13 was the excessive administrative demands. Therefore, the government of Indonesia, in this matter, the Deparment of Education has to ascertain that the majority of English teachers receive training related to K-13 and review the time allocation provided to the English teachers. For the English teachers, they should be creative and innovative in improving their understanding on K-13 using printed and online resources. DOI: https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.3672397

MEKANISME PEREKRUTAN KADER PARTAI POLITIK LOKAL (Studi di Banda Aceh)

Indonesia is a democratic country that implements multi party system, approaching political years more and more many new parties were emerging, however a few parties that do not qualified to verification phase. In the party system, Aceh is a privileged region that has specialities because it has local political parties, the existence and establishment of local parties in Aceh has a strong legal base and is regulated in the Aceh Goverment Law of 2006. System and recruitment mechanism in every local party in Aceh are certainlt have a different, this distinction is a spesial strategy developed by the party to capture and absorb framework and sympathizers. This recruitment mechanism is interestingly discussed and review further, in order to see how far the party is able to compete with other parties, and to measure the credibility level of the framework to the party that carried. This study used qualitative research method with the subject of research is the management or official of each Local Political Party in Banda Aceh. Primary data is obtained through direct interview about the mechanism ofrecruiting party cadre while secondary data is obtained from each party's website. The results showed that Local Political Parties in Banda Aceh, namely Nanggroe Aceh Party, Aceh Party, Aceh Regional Party and SIRA Party all used an open recruitment mechanism system because the method was considered effective to recruiting political cadre in terms of quantity and quality because each party had its own criteria in determining cadres who have competencies that are in accordance with the vision and mission of each party. The obstacle faced by all of Local Political Parties in Banda Aceh region is still ineffective in the voting process for women in each party in parliament because the Aceh Province applies Islamic Sharia in its government. The conclusion was that all of Local Political Parties in the Banda Aceh region applied an open recruitment mechanism system because the system was most effective in the process of recruiting party cadres in terms of quantity and quality.

Encouraging and Inhibiting Factors in the Tradition of Commemoration of the Birthday of the Prophet Muhammad SAW Community in Pidie District, Aceh Province of Indonesia

The Aceh region is a province where the majority of the people are Muslim. Islam entered and developed in Aceh through preaching by Arab merchants. Islam is the majority religion for the people of Aceh, and since the founding of the Samudra Pasai kingdom, the second Islamic kingdom in Aceh has been marked by Islam as political power in Aceh. The variety of Islamic culture develops in society, one of which is the birthday of the Prophet Muhammad SAW. The Maulid Celebration in Kemukiman Bambi, Peukan Baro District, Pidie Regency has a different nuance to maulid celebrations in other regions. The implementation of Maulid starts from preparing meals and meals at people's homes, commonly called Bue Kulah (rice wrapped in leaves), Idang Meulapeuh (multilevel dishes) brought to Meunasah to be eaten together with residents, orphans and guests from other Mukim. Then it was continued with Meudikee Maulud (praying to the Prophet) and Islamic preaching at night. The purpose of this study is to describe the tradition of implementing the Prophet Muhammad's birthday in Pidie District in Aceh Province, to find out what factors encourage and hinder the tradition of commemorating the Prophet Muhammad's birthday in the community in Pidie District, and what symbols and meanings are contained in the commemoration of the Prophet Muhammad's birthday.

Sosialisasi Kewirausahaan Melalui Pemanfaatan Hasil Produksi Pisang dan Ayam Potong untuk Meningkatkan Kesejahteraan Masyarakat

A country's economy is determined by government revenue, and government revenue is also closely related to regional income. Meanwhile, regional income is also related to community income. Many opportunities can improve the economy. Khairil Anwar's research revealed that many of the items sold in the city of Meulaboh and the surrounding area came from other regions both inside and outside the Aceh region. Of course, if this can be done by the people of West Aceh, the community's economy will improve. To improve community welfare, it is important to gain insight into the community. The method of implementation is to gather parishioners and then give them an overview of the results of research on goods used and consumed by the community. Then together, calculate the potential that can be done. As a result, the community has realized many ways to increase family income while increasing welfare by only planting bananas and chicken pieces.

Survey of arsenic contamination in white rice in Aceh

White rice as the major staple food for Indonesian people has the opportunity to be contaminated with chemical hazards. Research in the USA shows that arsenic is contained in rice. The arsenic emissions of 75% are estimated to originate from human activities, most of which are mining, fertilizers and pesticides. This study aims to determine qualitatively arsenic contamination of white rice consumed by Acehnese people and how to cook it. A total of 30 white rice samples were obtained from the Aceh Health Polytechnic of Ministry of Health employees who brought white rice for breakfast with the consideration that they come from various regions in Aceh. Arsenic analysis contamination in samples was carried out using arsenic test kits (brand: merckoquant). Using a test kit begins with standardization before being applied to the sample solution. Data collected is primary data, in the form of interviews using questionnaires about white rice cooking techniques and the results of analysis of arsenic contamination on white rice. The results showed that white rice consumed by the employees was safe from arsenic. This result confirms that the rice cooking technique in a household is feasible. Besides that the arsenic test was also carried out on white rice sold in stalls, the results were positive. This indicates that white rice is consumed by people in Aceh, there are those which are contaminated with arsenic. This study provides evidence that the contamination is still present in rice which has been processed into rice cooked, as a result of qualitative tests on white rice obtained from stalls. Arsenic contamination is not found in white rice processed in Aceh household.

Transformation of stilt houses: a way to respond to the environment to be sustainable

One type of houses on stilts that are spread on the west coast of the Aceh region is rumoh santeut located in the Teunom area. This vernacular architecture is a residence that has been tested by climate and natural disasters for hundreds of years, but still stands strong and is still inhabited by the fourth generation today. The Teunom settlement environment can represent the characteristics of other settlements on the west coast of Aceh, because it is in the same natural conditions. These settlements often experience flooding due to the overflowing of the Krueng Teunom River which is located adjacent to the settlement. This paper discusses the principles and techniques of construction in the construction of houses on stilts, and how the elements of construction respond to environmental problems as sustainable construction through a process of architectural transformation. Data has been analyzed with qualitative descriptive methods to find out the factors that affect transformation, and how transformation occurs. The findings show that the nature and potential of the material affect the structure / construction, building components, and construction methods. The houses on stilts in Teunom have been transformed together with changes in the socio-cultural community and changes in the natural environment. The use of cement, brick, and iron has now resulted in changes in the method of construction and appearance of the house. Wooden stilt houses that are transformed can be divided into two types of construction, they are transformed into contemporary houses, and are transformed as new stage houses. How the ancestors took care of their homes, and the fact that these houses still exist, should be an example in modern society.

Pengembangan Sistem Pendidikan Islam dalam Konteks Pelaksanaan Syari'at Islam di Aceh

In their history, Muslim people proved themselves to have reached the highest degree of development in the word. Yet, this is not the case anymore. Muslim people all over the world, including the Acehnese, are in backwardness in many aspects of life, such as in science, technology, economy, politics, and education. Islamic education is seen to play its significant role in solving the problem, especially in Aceh region, where Islamic shari’ah is officially being applied. In this case, there are four new paradigms to be developed in Islamic education, there are al-tahwid, al’dl, al-hurriyyah, and al-mas’uliyyah. It is hoped that these paradigms are capable of solving both the Acehnese and the Muslim problems all over the world.

Sub-activity Time-Cost Trade-off Model of Building Structural Beam on the Projects in the North Aceh Region

Problems for both delayed and accelerated activities in scheduling are common in most projects. This problem can implicate on the additional construction cost with different trends as a specific model. A model can provide valuable information to project acceleration judgement. This research aims to develop the TCTO sub-activity model of formwork, rebar work, and concrete work of the building structural beam on the projects in the North Aceh region. We have collected 33 data sourced from the project cost plan report and respondents judgment in the reviewed area. Descriptive statistics and the regression analysis are used to generate the TCTO model. The results show that the activity duration of the structural beam as broken down into sub-activities of formwork, rebar work and concrete work can be compressed until reaching 40%, 50%, and 40% of its normal duration, respectively. The additional cost of the compressed duration for each sub-activity shows the direct incremental cost per days of 3.67%, 3.63%, and 4.27% of its normal cost. Meanwhile, the possible crash cost of each the sub-activities are 122%, 118.15%, 125.61%, respectively. The models practically represent a linear model in the same daily pattern acceleration.

Study of Physical Vulnerability Mapping of the Coastal Areas of North - East Aceh

The coastal physical vulnerability study conducted in the North-East coast region of Aceh, which was focused on the calculation of the physical vulnerability index based on the Coastal Vulnerability Index (CVI) method which was integrated with the Geographic Information System (GIS) to determine the most dominant contribution to coastal vulnerability. The index is calculated based on six variables: geomorphology, coastal erosion, slope, changes in sea level, wave height and tidal range. Basically, the emphasis on methodological aspects is related to: (i) the use of GIS techniques to construct, interpolate, filter, and sample data for shoreline networks, (ii) physical vulnerability calculations using the CVI method approach, and (iii) values CVI is applied in vulnerability maps using the GIS program by providing CVI ratings to three levels, namely low, medium, and high. The results of this study indicate that the coastal physical vulnerability of the North East Aceh region is dominated by a moderate level of vulnerability of 83.61% with 51 sub-districts, and then a low vulnerability of 9.84% with 6 sub-districts, and a high vulnerability of 6.56% with 4 sub-districts out of a total of 61 Districts in 10 Regencies / Cities on the North-East coast of Aceh. According to physical conditions, each variable has the same weight, so that each variable has the same contribution to the vulnerability index of the North-East coastal region of Aceh.

ANALISIS KETIMPANGAN PEMBANGUNAN DAN DISTRIBUSI PENDAPATAN WILAYAH DI PROVINSI ACEH

Abstract The aims of this research are to understand the development disparities, income distribution, human development, and the geographical difficulties in North-East, Center-South East, and West-South of Aceh Regions. The methods of analysis used are Williamson Index, Lorentz Curve, Gini Coefficient, Human Development Index (IPM), and Geographical Difficulties Index (IKG). The results show that based on Williamson Index, the developments in the North-East, Center-South East Regions of Aceh are still low. Based on the Lorenz Curve, West-South Region is far from equality line, it is followed by Center-South East and North-East Regions. Thus, it can be stated that West-South and Center-South East Regions experience relatively greater income disparities compared to North-East Region. Based on Human Development Index Calculation, West-South of Aceh is the region that has lowest Human Development Index, then it followed by Center-South East and North-East Regions of Aceh. Based on Geographical Difficulties Index, West-South Region of Aceh has the highest Geographical Difficulties Index compared to Center-South East and North-East Regions of Aceh viewed from the existence of basic services, infrastructure condition, and transportation.The government must strive to reduce development disparities in the North-East, Central-Southeast and West-South regions of Aceh so that there will be no provincial division and conflict between regions.

Analisis Pelaksanaan Peraturan Daerah Berbasis Syariah Provinsi Aceh dalam Perspektif Hak Asasi Manusia

AbstractThe issuance of Law No. 18/2001 gave the authority for the Aceh Regional Government to exercise special autonomy. The presence of this law also confirms the authority of the Aceh Regional Government to make regional regulations, establish policies, conduct supervision, and foster the administration of governance in Aceh based on Islamic law. However, the administration of government in Aceh as a special autonomy from special regions does not always work well. One that still reaps the pros and cons is the issue of sharia-based regional regulations made and enforced in Aceh. The various regional regulations that have sprung up in Aceh are seen as not paying enough attention to aspects of human rights. Some of them include regional regulations on prohibition of piggybacking between men and women, restrictions on curfew hours, separation of public space between men and women. The latest is the emergence of a circular in the form of an appeal about the standardization of coffee shops, cafes, and restaurants that must be in accordance with Islamic law. This study uses a descriptive qualitative analysis method with a literature review approach. The results of the study stated that the application of regional regulations in Aceh is still a polemic and is reaping the pros and cons in the community.Keywords: Sharia, Local Regulations, Human Rights, Aceh, Discrimination

Reconstruction of the 2004 Tsunami Inundation Map in Banda Aceh Through Numerical Model and Its Validation with Post-Tsunami Survey Data

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) recorded the 2004 tsunami heights in the Indian Ocean using the DART buoy tool and survey field data in the land side of Banda Aceh. Furthermore, 85 tsunami poles around Banda Aceh and Aceh Besar were used to mark the tsunami flow depth. The flow depth of the tsunami data recorded plays an important role in fostering our understanding of the physical tsunami wave generation and inundation using tsunami modeling. This study is aimed at comparing the results of the tsunami flow depth modeling in Banda Aceh with some measurement data from NOAA and Tsunami Poles. The tsunami modeling process was applied using the Cornell Multi-Grid Coupled Tsunami Model (COMCOT) computational program.We used 6 nested grids and the innermost layer covering the Banda Aceh region. The Layer 6 used for the variable Manning roughness coefficient represents the surface land use before the tsunami. We put 139 and 67 observation points on land to observe tsunami flow depth data according to NOAA and Tsunami pole coordinates, respectively. The result shows that NOAA data gave poor agreement with numerical simulations. A better result was obtained when using tsunami poles. We recommend increasing the use of the tsunami poles data as they were produced with a rigorous validation process for the 2004 tsunami.
