How Extensively do Teachers Train Students' Metacognition Abilities in Physics Learning in High School?

Metacognition refers to the capacity to comprehend and regulate one's own cognitive processes. By cultivating students' metacognitive skills in physics education, they will acquire the ability to understand and govern their own thinking. This, in turn, will enhance the effectiveness of physics instruction by fostering student engagement and enabling them to rectify their own errors. However, previous studies have revealed a scarcity of physics teachers who integrate metacognitive training into their teaching practices. Thus, the aim of this research is to investigate the extent to which high school physics teachers in the Riau Islands Province engage in metacognitive training for their students. Employing a qualitative approach with a phenomenological method, data was collected through interviews conducted with physics teachers from local high schools. This study's participants are physics teachers in the Kepulauan Riau Province. There are a total of 25 physics teachers participating in the study. The sampling technique employed in this research is purposive sampling. During these interviews, the researchers posed open-ended questions to elicit insights into physics teachers' experiences with the cultivation of metacognitive skills in their students during physics lessons. According to the study's findings, physics teachers in the Riau Islands Province are indeed training their students in indicators of metacognitive abilities. However, we observed that some teachers remain unaware that the exercises they assign inherently serve as indicators of metacognitive skills. This lack of awareness is attributed to a deficient understanding among teachers regarding the nature of metacognition.

Integrated Coastal Management (ICM) with a Reference on Protection-production Approach: An Initial Lesson of TWP East Bintan, Kepulauan Riau Province

Integrated Coastal Management (ICM) encompasses a holistic marine management strategy that intertwines robust marine ecosystem preservation with sustainable resource utilization. This method aims to harness oceanic resources while advocating for the financial backing of crucial scientific research, sustainable ecosystem management, and support for local fisherfolk and communities, ultimately enhancing the resilience of marine environments. In Indonesia, unlocking the full potential of nature-based solutions for climate mitigation, marine conservation, and sustainable oceanic development necessitates strategic and appropriately scaled investments. Despite being introduced in the 1990s, national-level adoption of the ICM approach remains lacking. Presently, the Government of Indonesia predominantly relies on the establishment of Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) asa primary tool for ocean conservation. With approximately 28.9 million hectares of MPAs currently established, Indonesia plans to expand coverage to 97.5 million hectares by 2045. Aligning with Konservasi Indonesia’s Protection and Production approach, MPAs can be tailored to operationalize ICM principles. The East Pulau Bintan MPA serves as a viable case study, demonstrating how zoning strategies can effectively balance marine conservation with sustainable resource exploitation.

Economic contraction and inequality of two provinces with coastal characteristics in Sumatra: what are the causes?

The aim of this research is to find the causes of the problem of economic contraction and economic inequality in the Bengkulu and Kepulauan Riau provinces. The type of data collected is only sourced from secondary data, namely from the Indonesian Central Bureau of Statistics (2022) and data from literature or libraries through the documentation method and literature study. Data analysis was carried out through statistical analysis methods and qualitative descriptive analysis methods. The results showed that the Pearson Correlation between economic growth and economic inequality was 0.696 (in Bengkulu) and 0.689 (in the Kepulauan Riau). The trend of economic growth and economic inequality in both provinces is decreasing. Bad influence (backwash effect) in the form of a global economic recession (economic downturn) and the case of the Covid-19 pandemic (2019 – 2020) are considered to be the cause of economic contraction in the form of a decrease in economic growth (the extreme occurred in 2020, with -0.02 in the provinces of Bengkulu and -3.80 in Kepulauan Riau province). The trend of economic inequality (measured by the Gini index) which has decreased from year to year is considered a form of an anomaly because it is considered contrary to the decline in economic growth at the same time.

Addressing mangrove degradation in Littoral Bintan, Indonesia by applying the common consent principle: An education for Littoral states

Mangroves, referred to as green belts, have the potential to minimize environmental damage. Mangrove degradation causes marine environmental degradation, such as coastal erosion, which impacts both the coastal conditions and its users. This research employs empirical research methods and it is discovered that national data indicates that in the Kepulauan Riau Province, the mangrove forest is spread across an area of 68,417 hectares. However, approximately 37,000 hectares of the forest have been damaged or destroyed.The amount of damage inflicted is undoubtedly staggering, with the destruction of the mangrove forest region in the Riau Archipelagic Province exceeding half 55% of the total spread of mangrove forests. One of the locations most heavily impacted by damage to mangrove forests can be found on Bintan Island. Should this situation persist, it will lead to degradation of the marine environment, adversely affecting not only the coastal nation but also the end user. Thus, it is imperative to implement the principle of mutual agreement. Ramsar Convention 1971, UNCED 1992 which is part of the World Heritage Convention.

Poisson-Lognormal model with measurement error in covariate for small area estimation of count data

Small Area Estimation (SAE) is a statistical technique to estimate parameters of subpopulation containing small-size of samples. SAE is an indirect estimation method by utilizing the strength of the neighbor area and data sources outside the area so that the sample becomes more effective and reduces the variance of parameter estimators. This paper deals with non-symmetrical count data in SAE which can be modelled based on Poisson-Lognormal distribution using hierarchical Bayesian (HB) approach and information on covariate contains measurement error. We develop the Poisson-Lognormal model for predicting small area counts with structural measurement error in the area-specific covariate. To get the HB Bayes estimator for Poisson-Lognormal model with measurement error in its covariates, the Metropolis-Hastings (MH) algorithm from the Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) technique is used. The HB estimator performance is studied through simulation and implementation of real data to predict the illiteracy rate at the sub-district level in Kepulauan Riau Province Indonesia based on The National Socio-Economic Survey (Susenas) data in March 2020.
