Students’ misconceptions on rotational and rolling motions

This study aimed to analyze the misconceptions experienced by senior high school students on rotational and rolling motion topics. The sample consisted of 35 students of a state senior high school in Palembang, Indonesia, in grade 11 in a science class. The data was collected using the Rotational and Rolling Motion Conceptual Survey (RRMCS), and were analyzed using modified Certainty of Response Index (mCRI) with a scale of 0 to 5. The result showed that the distribution of students’ conceptual understandings were in four categories, i.e. understanding the concepts 1.70%, understanding the concepts but not sure 1.90%, holding misconceptions 58.30%, and not understanding the concepts 38.10%. It can be identified that the students experienced misconceptions in all the concepts involved, namely 54.30% in the moment of inertia, 57.10% in rotational kinetic energy, 60.0% in angular velocity, 62.90% in angular acceleration, 58.90% in the moment of inertia, 51.40% in rolling motion (relative motion), 65.70% in rolling motion (the role of friction and other parameters), and 55.70% in the sliding cube on an inclined plane. Therefore, teachers should consider these misconceptions experienced by students in choosing appropriate strategies to overcome them.

The correlations among English language exposure, learning motivation, and reading comprehension achievement of high school students in Palembang

Language exposure and learning motivation are two of the most essential aspects in learning any language. In English language acquisition, the development of these two components facilitates the development of other language skills, such as reading comprehension. In turn, reading comprehension is one of the significant indicators of fluency in second or foreign language acquisition. If a correlation can be determined between either language exposure or learning motivation and the development of reading comprehension, educators and specialists can focus their efforts on increasing these predictor variables in curriculum development to further reading comprehension and, ultimately, fluency. This study focused on the reading comprehension of senior high school students in Palembang, Indonesia and sought to find out whether or not there was any significant correlation between students’ English language exposure and reading comprehension, students’ learning motivation and reading comprehension, and among the predictor variables (English language exposure, learning motivation) and the criterion variable (reading comprehension). The samples of this study were 210 eleventh graders in SMA Unggulan, a high-performing senior high school in Palembang. The data were analyzed by using correlational and regression analyses. The findings showed significant positive correlations among English language exposure, learning motivation, and reading comprehension. The contribution of English language exposure to reading comprehension was 41.8%, while the contribution of learning motivation to reading comprehension was 51.7%. Moreover, the contribution of predictor variables to the criterion variable was 58.9%.

Project based learning design “trade in school cooperation” for seventh grade students of junior high school

The direct proportion and social arithmetic are difficult topics for students. The difficulty on the topic of direct proportion is that students make mistakes in adjusting the application of direct proportions. The difficulty of social arithmetic is a mistake in determining the conditions of profit, loss, or break even. Project-based learning is an innovation for teachers and can improve students’ thinking abilities. The characteristics of the project involve some topics. Teachers are expected to work together to create learning according to expectations by implementing a lesson study system. Project-based learning that takes a long time can be overcome by using Edmodo because they can do learning without space and time limits. This research aims to determine the role of the learning trajectory in project-based learning “trade in school cooperation”. This study uses a design research method of validation studies type in seventh grade students of junior high school in Palembang. The results are the role of project-based learning in resolving direct proportions and social arithmetic through learning trajectory such as students getting more training in problem-solving procedures, better understanding the relationship of numbers proportions, and to achieve understanding in decisions of profit, loss, and breakeven situations.

Prevalence of Hypertension and Its Associated Factors among Indonesian Adolescents.

Background Given that hypertension in adulthood has its onset in childhood, it is not surprising that the prevalence of hypertension among adolescents has also increased in recent years. However, there are limited data on the prevalence of hypertension and also the new AAP guideline has not yet been applied to the Indonesian adolescent population. Thus, this study aimed to evaluate the prevalence of hypertension using the new AAP guideline and to assess the occurrence of its associated factors among Indonesian adolescents. Methods This was a cross-sectional study conducted at twelve senior high schools in Palembang, South Sumatera, Indonesia, from June to December 2019. The study included adolescents aged 13 to 18 years old. Anthropometric measurements were obtained. Multiple logistic regression was used to assess the risk factors most associated with hypertension among adolescents, and then an equation model was created. The prevalence of hypertension was evaluated, together with several factors such as age group, sex, ethnicity, family history of hypertension, nutritional status, physical activity, perceived stress, sleep duration, nutritional intake, and smoking. Results In total, 1200 adolescents aged 15.9 ± 0.99 years were evaluated. The prevalence of hypertension and elevated blood pressure among adolescents was 8% and 12.2%, respectively. There were significant associations between sex, family history of hypertension, hypertensive father, nutritional status, physical activity, perceived stress, and hypertension among Indonesian adolescents (p < 0.05). Stress was the most powerful risk factor of hypertension with an odds ratio of 5.83 (95% confidence interval 2.91–11.6). Conclusions Nowadays, the prevalence of hypertension among Indonesian adolescents is quite high. This may be caused by lifestyle or behavior changes among adolescents. Sex, family history of hypertension, nutritional status, physical activity, and perceived stress influenced the 27% hypertension prevalence rate among Indonesian adolescents, particularly in Palembang, South Sumatera. In order to decrease the prevalence of hypertension in adults, concern about lifestyle or behavior changes and hypertension among adolescents should be given.
