Implementasi Model Project Based Learning Menggunakan Mind Map terhadap Keterampilan 4C Geografi Siswa Kelas X Fase E SMAN 15 Padang

Geography, as a discipline that studies the interaction between humans and the environment, as well as physical phenomena on Earth, plays an important role in developing 4C skills (Communication, Collaboration, Critical Thinking, and Creativity). However, many students still face challenges in applying 4C skills in geography learning. These challenges include a lack of student participation, as seen from their minimal involvement in class discussions, which hinders the development of communication and collaboration skills. This issue is often caused by low self-confidence or insufficient understanding of the material. Additionally, students frequently struggle with critical thinking, particularly in identifying and analyzing complex geographical problems. The method used in this research is descriptive qualitative, with the subjects selected using purposive sampling, resulting in a sample of Class X Phase E 8. Data collection was carried out using assessment rubrics in terms of attitudes, knowledge, and skills to evaluate student activities in creating Mind Maps. The results of this study show that the assessment of Mind Mapping, using the Project-Based Learning model, yielded an overall average score of 81.72, categorized as good, and positively impacted the development of students' 4C skills. Students demonstrated creativity (C6) by creating Mind Maps, which reflect their ability to think critically and creatively, core aspects of Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTs). Furthermore, they showed improved communication and collaboration abilities in learning, thus achieving the 4C skills.

Diagnostic and Feedback Behavior of German Pre-Service Teachers Regarding Argumentative Pupils’ Texts in Geography Education

The study sheds light on the importance of diagnostic and feedback skills regarding argumentative pupils’ texts for (prospective) teachers and the current state of research in this area. The importance of argumentation in geography education is undisputed, as geographical problems often require multi-layered solutions that can be analyzed, assessed and reflected upon by teachers and pupils through argumentation skills. Nevertheless, research findings reveal that both teachers and pupils often have limited argumentation skills, which poses a challenge for both. The present study investigates the attitudes and practices of prospective geography teachers regarding the diagnosis of and feedback on pupils’ argumentative texts. Using a qualitative research design, twenty German pre-service teachers of geography were interviewed about their diagnostic and feedback experiences and asked to analyze and provide feedback on an argumentative pupil text. The results were evaluated using qualitative content analysis. In addition, a theoretical model for diagnosis was developed, which was used to analyze the pre-service teachers’ diagnostic behavior. The criteria used by the pre-service teachers to evaluate the argumentative pupils’ text were examined. The results show that the diagnosis often lacks the exploration of causes and the deduction of consequences, and that only a few subject-specific criteria were taken into account in the text assessment. In addition, the feedback was generally more positive than the diagnosis itself. The results offer insights into the design of diagnostic and feedback processes in geography education and provide impulses for (higher) education teaching and future research.

Climate Change in Secondary School Classrooms Using Geographic Information Technologies as A Learning Tool

Objective: The main objective of the elaboration of these materials is to verify if their use in the classrooms of Compulsory Secondary Education (ESO) and Baccalaureate facilitates the acquisition of key competences and improves the geographic learning of the students. It seeks to implement a model of competency learning that makes use of Geographic Information Technologies (TIG) to develop spatial analysis and understanding skills in students. Theoretical references: The theoretical framework is based on the recommendations of the Council of the European Union on the use of good practices and digital technologies in education. The concepts of climate change and sustainable development are considered, as well as specific competences related to geographical thinking and the use of TIG. Methodology: Educational materials have been designed and used in classes of 1st and 3rd of ESO, dividing students into subgroups that used and did not use the materials to compare results. Initial, intermediate and final assessments were conducted to measure the evolution of learning. The materials include maps and applications to solve geographical problems and didactic strategies of the bimodal curriculum are used to promote key competences. Results and Conclusion: The use of the materials has significantly improved the students' learning competencies, although the objectives have not been fully achieved. The average acquisition of competences went from 2.79 to 4.36 on a scale from 0 to 10. A noticeable improvement was observed in 10 fields that were previously below 4 points, now at 5 or more. However, students showed more difficulties in areas such as orderly communication and critical evaluation of their approaches and those of their peers. Research Implications: Research suggests that the use of TIG in secondary education can be an effective tool to improve the geographic and analytical competencies of students. In addition, the importance of integrating these technologies in a way that supports geographic learning rather than focusing exclusively on the management of the tools is highlighted. Originality/Value: This study presents an innovative approach to using TIG in secondary education to develop key competencies in students. The originality lies in the combination of advanced technologies with a competency approach in the teaching of geography, which could serve as a model for future educational applications in other contexts.

A strategy for tracing interactions in online collaborative geographic experiments

Online collaborative geographic experiments have many advantages in communication, resource sharing, and task coordination; thus, they play a vital role in comprehensive geographic problem solving for interdisciplinary experts. In these collaborative experiments, different experts usually possess different knowledge backgrounds and are responsible for specific tasks, making it difficult to fully understand the entire experimental process and implementation details, which may lead to different experimental ideas and actions, thus reducing the efficiency of the experiment. Therefore, it is necessary to record and trace information to help participants reach a consensus on the understanding of the experiment to support collaboration. However, most of the existing tracing strategies focus on the states of geographic experimental data but ignore the different interactions that impact the generation, flow, and use of these data. Limitations remain for existing strategies in terms of providing comprehensive insight into the geographic experiment process and its implementation details, especially when addressing the requirements of process understanding, error localization, and scheme sharing. Therefore, this study presents a strategy for tracing interactions in online collaborative geographic experiments. This strategy focuses on interactions and their types, structures, and dependencies during the geographic experiment process; designs three components for recording interaction information; and uses corresponding extraction methods to trace interaction information. To verify the feasibility of this strategy, it was implemented in an online prototype system, and a case study of aboveground forest biomass prediction under climate change was conducted with the prototype system. The results indicate that the proposed strategy can help enhance collaboration among different participants, thus effectively improving the performance of collaborative geographic experiments.

Research on conceptual graph gallery-based cognitive communication method for geographical conceptual modeling

Geographic modeling is considered as an effective way to solve geographic problems. Geographic conceptual modeling is the first step of geographic modeling, in which modelers can fully exchange modeling ideas, thereby achieving a common understanding of geographic system and guiding subsequent geographic modeling process. However, due to the diverse research backgrounds of modelers, it is challenging for them to exchange modeling ideas with one another. This paper provides a visual cognitive communication method for modelers by constructing a conceptual graph gallery, and then improves the efficiency of geographic conceptual modeling. A multidimensional description method that describes modeling cognition from multiple perspectives, the conceptual graph gallery that includes concept items and conceptual graphs, and the conceptual graph gallery-based cognitive communication methods are designed in this paper. Finally, a case study involving the construction of a hydrological conceptual graph gallery is designed to illustrate the feasibility of conceptual graph gallery-based cognitive communication.

A Novel Standardized Collaborative Online Model for Processing and Analyzing Remotely Sensed Images in Geographic Problems

In recent years, remote sensing image processing technology has developed rapidly, and the variety of remote sensing images has increased. Solving a geographic problem often requires multiple remote sensing images to be used together. For an image processing analyst, it is difficult to become proficient in the image processing of multiple types of remote sensing images. Therefore, it is necessary to have multiple image processing analysts collaborate to solve geographic problems. However, as a result of the naturally large volumes of data and the computer resources they consume for analysis, remote sensing images present a barrier in the collaboration of multidisciplinary remote sensing undertakings and analysts. As a result, during the development of the collaborative analysis process, it is necessary to achieve the online processing and analysis of remote sensing images, as well as to standardize the online remote sensing image collaborative analysis process. To address the above issues, a hierarchical collaborative online processing and analysis framework was developed in this paper. This framework defined a clear collaborative analysis structure, and it identifies what kinds of online image processing and analysis activities participants can engage in to successfully conduct collaborative processes. In addition, a collaborative process construction model and an online remote sensing image processing analysis model were developed to assist participants in creating a standard collaborative online image processing and analysis process. In order to demonstrate the feasibility and effectiveness of the framework and model, this paper developed a collaborative online post-disaster assessment process that utilizes radar images and optical remote sensing images for a real forest fire event. This process was based on the BPMN2.0 and OGC dual standards. Based on the results, the proposed framework provides a hierarchical collaborative remote sensing image processing and analysis process with well-defined stages and activities to guide the participants’ mutual collaboration. Additionally, the proposed model can help participants to develop a standardized collaborative online image processing process in terms of process structure and information interactions.

SOCIALIZATION OF STANDARD CALCULATION OF RECIPES AND FINANCIAL RECORDING OF MSMES DODOL TENJO BOGOR

Equality of welfare in Indonesia is difficult to implement due to several factors including geographical problems, population migration, and population registration. This resulted in several other problems arising, namely limited employment. To overcome this problem, the MSME entrepreneurship program is promoted by the government. Tenjo as a village famous for dodol MSMEs has a good track record in the production and distribution of dodol products in the Bogor and Tangerang areas. Unfortunately, the MSME industry is not supported by the standardization of prescriptions and financial records which are the basis for them to be able to take care of P-IRT (Home Industry Food) licenses. With the lack of knowledge from MSME business owners on the importance of standardizing prescriptions and financial records to take care of P-IRT licenses, the service team made the socialization of recipe standard calculations and financial records for MSME actors dodol Tenjo. Business actors are enthusiastic about socialization activities and can make standard prescriptions and financial records according to the model provided by the service team for them to use in their business.

PECULIARITIES OF DEVELOPMENT OF CITIES IN THE NORTHERN BORDER REGIONS OF AZERBAIJAN AND THE REGULATION OF THEIR DEVELOPMENT

The aim of the article is to investigate the features of the demographic and socio-economic development of cities in the northern border areas of Azerbaijan (Sheki, Zagatala, Gakh, Balaken, Gabala, Oguz, Khachmaz, Husar), to determine the direction of their perspective regulation in accordance with the trends that are taking place. Methods and methodology. The article uses such methods as historical overview, analysis of statistics of different periods, comparative analysis and descriptive method of demonstration of geographical objects. The study deals with taking into account the geostrategic significance of population resettlement in border areas, the importance of ensuring their economic, social and ecological development, regulating population migration processes, creating new jobs and implementing other social programs. The novelty of the article is that the directions of the demographic, socio-economic development of the cities are actually substantiated not only as the main supporting frames of the region, but also in terms of national interests, geopolitical and strategic situation. The article also identified socio-economic, natural-geographic, and other issues. factors affecting the location of cities in the northern border areas. mostly became possible during the years of Soviet power. The study says that cities are the largest economic centers of the country and the main centers of population settlement. The article scientifically analyzes geographical problems in Azerbaijan. Clarified features of Rego. It is concluded that it is clear from the article that scientific analyzes corresponding to geographical changes should be increased, such issues are considered comprehensively and universally in research. Conclusions. The study says that cities are the largest economic centers of the country and the main centers of population settlement. Before the establishment of Soviet power in Azerbaijan, only the cities of Sheki and Zagatala existed on this territory. Although these two settlements have long been formed as cities, they acquired city status only in 1840. And the cities of Balaken, Gakh, Gabala, Husar, Khachmaz, Oguz and other settlements located on the territory of administrative districts were created during the years of Soviet power and acquired the status of cities and towns. In general, the economic and geographical analysis of the development of the cities of the northern border regions allows us to reach the following conclusions and put forward a number of proposals: – in the creation of urban settlements and the formation of their modern system, the leading role was played by the organizational-economic, social-administrative management function that they perform for the surrounding territories; – Another city-forming factor is the food industry, which is represented by small-scale enterprises that mainly rely on the processing of local agricultural raw materials.

Problem-solving procedures in spatially explicit tasks: comparing procedures with printed and digital cartographic documents

Abstract The aim of this research study is to compare the procedures for solving geographical problems with printed and digital cartographic products. These documents are used in various areas of society, including regional development or visual communication in the media. A total of 27 probands participated in the research. Individuals were randomly divided into two groups, one group working with a printed atlas and the other with a digital atlas in the same version. Respondents were tested using stationary and wearable eye-trackers while completing a didactic test to determine different levels of map skills. The results of the research showed that although the procedures and the success rate for solving the different tasks did not differ between the two groups of respondents, the differences were mainly in the time needed for the solution and in the satisfaction in the use of a given type of cartographic work.

Health Officer Behavior in Adolescent Caring Health Services (Adolescent Care Health Services) at the Health Center

Health problems in adolescents are so complex, one of which is unwanted pregnancies due to the low level of preventive promotive efforts in adolescents that must be carried out by health workers through the Adolescent Care Health Services program.This study aims to describe the behavior of health workers in implementing the Adolescent Care Health Servicesprogram at the Kapus. A qualitative method with a case study approach has been used in this study, researchers used interviews and observations to answer the research objectives. Interviews were conducted with informants who were determined through a purposive sampling technique, then observations were made to determine the completeness of the facilities and guidelines owned by the officers.This study found that the behavior of officers in Adolescent Care Health Services services did not meet the good standards of predisposing factors, reinforcing factors and enabling factors. Another problem is the double workload, geographical conditions which are in difficult territory.For this reason, it is recommended that apparatus and leaders form innovations to increase cross-sector collaboration as an effort to overcome geographical problems by providing infrastructure in the village, increasing youth empowerment, and conducting outreach regarding the Adolescent Care Health Servicesprogram specifically for youth.

Geographical problems of economic development of the seaside towns controlled by the government of Georgia: The cases of Batumi and Poti

The main goal of the study is to identify and classify economic problems in the cities of the coastal zone of Georgia. For this purpose, the Georgian coastal cities of Batumi and Poti have been selected. The research attempts to answer three strategic questions: 1. What is the relationship between the authorities of the seaside city and the existing business entities? 2. How does the population assess the role of authorities at various levels in the economic development of the cities under study? 3. What is the participation level of the population in economic projects in their cities? The study is empirical in nature. The main method used is triangulation (document analysis, qualitative research, quantitative research, mapping), partly a case method, and comparative analysis. It has been established that the territorial resources of both cities are severely limited for their future economic development. The study presents a classification of the existing problems hindering the economic growth of coastal cities based on expert assessments. It turns out that owing to limited financial resources, city municipalities cannot increase their participation in current economic projects. The article reveals certain disagreements between the interests of municipalities and economic entities. Furthermore, a survey conducted among the population shows an indifferent and even negative attitude of the local population towards the role of local municipalities in the economic development of cities. The research indicates that an involvement of the urban population in ongoing and promising economic projects in cities is rather low.

Le cosmopolitisme et l’étrangéisation : Anna Nakwaska (1781-1851) et les géographies de la littérature polonaise d’expression francophone

The studies on Polish francophone literature put an emphasis on a selected group of authors (Potocki, Mickiewicz, Krasiński) and on some literary genres (diary and travelogue). The aim of this paper is to study the work of a lesser-known feminine writer, Anna Nakwaska, member of cosmopolitan literary milieu and author of several short stories and novels, written in French. Applying selected concepts of spatial literary studies, the first part of the article proposes to perceive the publishing strategies of Nakwaska as a tool for introducing Polish feminine literature in a broader European context. In the second place, the study of some Nakwaska’s short stories show her interest for a literary presentation of several geographical problems, including demography (put in the context of antisemitism) and regional ecology. The use of Polish toponymy brings a foreignization of the francophone fiction.

A kernel-enriched order-dependent nonparametric spatio-temporal process

Spatio-temporal processes are necessary modeling tools for various environmental, biological, and geographical problems. The underlying model is commonly considered to be parametric and to be a Gaussian process. Additionally, the covariance function is expected to be stationary and separable. This structure need not always be realistic. Moreover, attempts have been made to construct nonparametric processes of neither stationary nor separable covariance functions. Nevertheless, as we elucidate, some desirable and necessary spatio-temporal properties are not guaranteed by the existing approaches, thus, calling for further innovative ideas. In this article, using kernel convolution of order-based dependent Dirichlet process, we construct a novel spatio-temporal model. We show that this satisfies desirable properties and includes the stationary, separable, parametric processes as special cases. Our resultant posterior distribution is variable dimensional, which we attack using Transdimensional Transformation based Markov Chain Monte Carlo, which can update all the variables and change dimensions using deterministic transformations of a random variable drawn from some arbitrary density defined on relevant support. We demonstrate our model’s performance on simulated and real data sets. In all situations, the findings are highly encouraging.
