Meningkatan keaktifan dan hasil belajar ips melalui model jigsaw pada materi atmosfer dan hidorsfer

Seventy-five percent of Social Studies learning outcomes in atmospheric material and hydrosphere students at Pesanggrahan 2 Batu One Roof Junior High School, scored below the average KKM. That encourages teachers to implement improvements in social studies learning in the classroom. Improved learning designed into classroom action research activities. The learning method used in learning classroom action is a type of jigsaw cooperative learning. Data collection uses observation techniques using a collection of observation sheets. How in the first cycle, through a type of jigsaw cooperative learning model, student learning outcomes in solving social studies questions for junior high school class VII can improved. Students who completed the study in the first cycle of classroom action research, 30%, with an average value of 48, while in the first cycle, 78% of students completed the study with an average value of 71. In cycle II, students were active in studying social studies material on atmospheric material, and the VII grade junior high school hydrosphere was successful. Cycle I classroom action research-active students only 46%. While after completing the second cycle of action the percentage of activity reached 82%. The results of this study prove the role of giving more to students in learning considering the improvement in learning outcomes. DOI: 10.17977/um022v4i22019p096

THE INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY LITERACY LEVEL OF NEWLY ENROLLED FEMALE COLLEGE STUDENTS IN JAPAN

Purpose: The objective of the study was to assess the self-assessment of information literacy among newly enrolled Japanese female college student in what concerns to the ability to operate office applications; namely, word processors, spreadsheets and presentation software. In addition, researchers also investigated the time period when they started using them. Methodology: A survey was performed on 272 junior college female students of humanities courses and 41 college students of nutrition science course in April 2018, right after their entrance ceremonies. Statistical free software R was used to process the data, which consisted of chi-square test of independence for a contingency table, and correspondence analysis. The parameters assessed were (1) self-evaluation of the ability to use office applications, and (2) the period of time the students started using time. Main Findings: ‘Upper intermediate’ level students in word processors were correlated with the period around ‘Class in elementary school’ or ‘Class in junior high school’. By contrast, ‘Upper intermediate’ level students in spreadsheeting were associated with the first contact in a ‘Class in junior high school’ or ‘Class in high school’. Presentation software has been used frequently since elementary school up to high school and its club activities. Finally, the results suggest that ‘Advanced’ level students were taught how to use all these applications from family members. Implications: These findings may help teachers to improve their academic curriculum in order to fill the gap between those who are skilled and those who are not. They also can give useful hints to explore new teaching methods on information literacy subjects in higher education. Novelty: The results suggest that that the period of time that students had their first contact with the applications affects the awareness of their importance and the motivation to learn them.
