FACTOR ANALYSIS OF STUDENT PRACTICUM IMPLEMENTATION ON LATHE WORK

Practical-based learning can improve students' thinking skills and abilities. Optimizing the implementation of the practicum needs to be supported by various factors so that student learning outcomes are good. This study aims to obtain the dominant factors that support the implementation of student practicum on lathe work. This study uses descriptive quantitative methods with data collection techniques using a questionnaire instrument. The research population is students from the Mechanical Engineering Education Study Program at a university in Bandung. The results of the study indicate that there is a relationship between a number of independent variables. The six independent variables identified as sources of practicum support were then grouped into two new factors. The two factors have a correlation greater than 0,5, so it can be concluded that it is feasible to summarize the six variables analyzed. Based on the total variance score explained, factor 1 is the dominant factor affecting the implementation of the lathe work practicum and according to the rotated component matrix it is known that from factor 1, the workshop building variable has the highest correlation and the tools and practicum materials have the second highest correlation. This shows that the variables of the workshop building and the variables of tools and practicum materials are very important to be used as references in supporting good learning outcomes in practical activities.

Analisis Metode Penelitian Eksperimen pada Pembelajaran IPA di Tingkat Sekolah Menengah Pertama (SMP)

Various types of educational devices that are used as a support for the creation of a good education are certainly important. One of them is using an effective method to provide a concept to students optimally. This study aims to analyze how high and important the influence of the experimental method on science subjects at the junior high school. The method used is a qualitative research method with a mini survey method on 47 samples consisting of junior high school students, high school students, college students, and alumni students as well as a literature study method (library study) which is carried out by screening electronic books (e-books) and e- journals. The results showed that 94% of experimental research methods were effectively used and 6% were not effectively used in the science learning process. The effectiveness of this method is that students can prove that an accepted concept is in accordance with the given theory and students can hone their psychomotor abilities. The weakness of this method is that it can be seen from the inadequate infrastructure, the ability of teachers, controlling students, and the selection of practicum materials.

The Effect of Organic Biofertilizer on The Growth of Mustard Greens (Brassica Rapa Var. Parachinensis L) in Peat Soils as a Support for Practicum Material for Plant Growth and Development in Grade XII High School

Peatlands are potential land for horticultural crops. Organic biofertilizer is one of the alternative fertilizers that can increase fertility, soil quality, and health, as well as provide sufficient nutrients needed by plants to grow well, increase plant production and be more environmentally friendly. This study was conducted to determine the effect of organic biofertilizer on the growth of mustard greens (Brassica rapa var. parachinensis L) in peat soil media, and to determine the composition of an effective organic biofertilizer to support the growth of mustard greens (Brassica rapa var. parachinensis L) in peat soil media. This research is an experimental research type with a completely randomized design (CRD) consisting of 6 treatments and 4 replications. The independent variable of this study was organic biofertilizer, while the dependent variable was mustard greens (Brassica rapa var. Parachinensis L) and the growth of mustard greens on peat soil media. The results obtained in this study were based on the statistical analysis of One Way Anova after 30 DAS, the number of leaves F_hitung (6.88)> F_ (table 5%) (2.77), leaf width F (count) (8.901)> F (table 5%) (2.77) and wet weight F_count (12.30)> F (table 5%) (2.77). All data show F_ (count)> F_ (table 5%), this means that organic biofertilizer has a significant effect on the growth of mustard plants in peat soil media. The best biofertilizer composition used is the AS treatment which contains microorganisms consisting of Pseudomonas sp, Bacillus sp, Klebsiella sp, Aspergillus sp, and Azotobacter sp.

PENGEMBANGAN VIDEO TUTORIAL PRAKTIKUM KIMIA UMUM BERBASIS KEHIDUPAN SEHARI-HARI DI MASA COVID-19

The learning process that has been carried out in the General Chemistry practicum course during the COVID-19 pandemic is felt to be less than optimal. Learning General Chemistry during the Covid-19 pandemic was carried out boldly for theoretical material. However, another big problem is how to carry out practicum activities without laboratory access during the Covid-19 pandemic. Practical video media based on daily life utilizing computer technology in learning through practicum activities. Utilization of science and technology (science and technology) as a means of supporting learning is one of the positive impacts in developing knowledge. With the practical video in learning activities that are equipped with a combination of images and sound, the material can be visualized so that students can practice concluding and knowing laboratory materials and tools. Therefore, a step is needed to design a video tutorial based on daily life so that students can still do practicum through zoom because the tools and practicum materials are designed that are easy for students to support. Based on research conducted on K09 class students of Chemical Education, Raja Ali Haji Tanjungpinang University, it can show that the activities and responses of students to daily life-based practicum video tutorials are very good. So that the video media tutorial for general chemistry practicum based on everyday life can be used in the learning process.

Fuzzy logic applications for data acquisition systems of practical measurement

In laboratory works, the error in measurement, reading the measurring devices, similarity of experimental data and lack of understanding of practicum materials are often found. These will lead to the inacurracy and invalid in data obtanined. As an alternative solution, application of fuzzy logic to the data acquisition system using a web server can used. This research focuses on the design of data acquisition systems with the target of reducing the error rate in measuring experimental data on the laboratory. Data measurement on laboratory practice module is done by taking the analog data resulted from the measurement. Furthermore, the data are converted into digital data via arduino and stored on the server. To get valid data, the server will process the data by using fuzzy logic method. The valid data are integrated into a web server so that it can be accessed as needed. The results showed that the data acquisition system based on fuzzy logic is able to provide recommendation of measurement result on the lab works based on the degree value of membership and truth value. Fuzzy logic will select the measured data with a maximum error percentage of 5% and select the measurement result which has minimum error rate.
