PENGEMBANGAN MEDIA PEMBELAJARAN MATA PELAJARAN TEKNOLOGI INFORMASI DAN KOMUNIKASI DENGAN APLIKASI POWTOON DI MA MUHAMMADIYAH TALU

Every innovation is created to provide positive benefits for human life. Providing many conveniences, as well as a new way of carrying out human activities, especially in the field of information technology, has enjoyed many benefits brought about by the innovations that have been produced in the last decade. As time goes by, education is also growing. The development of science and technology encourages renewal efforts in the use of technological results in the teaching and learning process. Learning media can be regarded as learning aids, namely anything that can be used to stimulate thoughts, feelings, attention and abilities or skills of students so that they can encourage the learning process. This limitation is still quite broad and deep, including the understanding of sources, environment, people and methods used for learning purposes. Information and communication technology learning media is made using powtoons and an added application, namely linktree. The type of research used is a type of research and development (Research and Development). The R&D model used is the 4-D (four D) version, namely Define, Design, Develop, and Disseminate, using the Luther-Sutopo multimedia development model, which consists of Concept, Design, Material Collecting, Assembly, Testing, and Distribution. Based on the results of the research that has been done, it can be concluded that the resulting application can be utilized and is suitable for use by students and teachers in the subject concerned. The results of the validity test by experts on Android-based learning media obtained an average value of 0.94, namely valid, the practicality test obtained an average value of 4.39 in the very high category, and the effectiveness test obtained an average value of 0.72 in the very category. effective.

International framework for criminal analysis

AbstractAim: Renewing the Hungarian crime analysis methodology is necessary to set up a new framework for it. However, this is inconceivable without knowing the methodology used by the most important international actors in criminal analysis.Methodology: The study presents and compares the methodologies of crime analysis of Europol, UNODC (United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime), IACA (International Association of Crime Analysts) and U.K. law enforcement.Findings: The development of the integrated methodology of criminal analysis in Hungary dates back to 1997. However, only in the last few years have attempts been made to renew this methodology in line with the requirements of the modern age. As the previous framework is no longer suitable for the reception of new analytical methods, like risk analysis, network analysis, hor-spot analysis or even the reinterpreted crime pattern analysis, the first step in the renewal effort is to develop a new, flexible framework. Creating the new framework is expedient to examine the methodology used by countries and international organizations leading in the processing and analysis of criminal data and theoretical support of analysis.Value: As each of the examined methodologies is adapted to the current tasks of the given organization or law enforcement body, they cannot be utilized in their entirety, but in some elements and their structure, they serve as a basis for the development of the national framework of criminal analysis.

Assessment of the Social and Physical Characteristics of Obiagu Shanty Area in Enugu Metropolitan City, Nigeria

The persistent rise of the urban population and high housing rent has driven many to shanty towns. However, due to the increased population of the shanty towns, the social and physical characteristics of the towns have deteriorated. The study assessed the social and physical characteristics of Obiagu Shanty Area in Enugu Metropolitan City, Nigeria, with the purpose of establishing the extent of the rehabilitation and its impacts in the lives of the residents, as well as provides a better alternative. The data was obtained using a questionnaire survey. The statistical techniques employed to analyse the data are descriptive statistics (such as simple percentages, standard deviation and mean). The study, in general terms identified that the level of physical and social characteristics of Obiagu Shanty Area is highly negative. The study also reveals poor infrastructural amenities in the area. It demonstrates that the government is failing to fulfill its responsibilities in terms of urban development and infrastructure renewal. Furthermore, the study shows that private individuals and communities do not actively participate in urban regeneration and infrastructural renewal efforts in Obiagu Shanty Area. Therefore, the study recommends some retrofitting measures, such as the construction of modern houses with modern facilities and good sewage systems, the government partnering with private organisations/individuals or the community to assist in the remodeling of structures in the area, and constant sensitisation of residents by the government and NGOs on the negative health consequences of living in a dirty environment, among other things.

Rahmah El Yunusiyah: Tokoh Pembaharuan Pendidikan di Kalangan Perempuan Minangkabau, 1923-1969

This article aims to analyze the dynamics of islamic education renewal that occurs among women in the Minangkabau region spearheaded by Rahmah El Yunusiyah. The main issue raised in this article is related to the efforts to renew education among women carried out by Rahmah El Yunusiyah so that it has its own characteristics in the development of education, especially in Minangkabau. The method used in this study is a historical method as a tool to see the development of the renewal efforts carried out by Rahmah El Yunusiyah in the field of education. The results of the study found that Rahmah El Yunusiyah was able to renew education among women in the Minangkabau through Diniyyah School Poetri. This can be seen from the development of the school he founded, starting from the side of the building to the alumni produced. This then became a reference for several educational institutions in Indonesia to follow the education system implemented in the school. In addition, the renewal in the field of education among women carried out by Rahmah El Yunusiyah was able to raise the position of women in Minangkabau society.

Interrupting a white will to improve: race, design, and community self-determination

This critical case study investigates the cultural politics of one urban renewal effort rhetorically designed to serve the needs of most marginalized community members in Oakland, California. We extend recent scholarship examining the broader landscapes of young people’s lives and examine how the “urban” is made and remade in ways that impact education equity. Informed by critical urban theory and critical whiteness studies, we argue that urban planners enacted a white will to improve: a paternalistic approach to design that utilizes liberal democratic norms of voice and inclusion to deflect attention to the material realities of racism. Paying attention to contests over the urban—specifically the ways in which the “targets” of urban renewal interrupted official urban design processes—offers an important location for considering more ethical approaches to advancing community self-determination and education justice.

Kemampuan Guru dalam Penggunaan Media Pembelajaran di MAN 1 Bireuen

The development of science and technology increasingly encourages renewal efforts in the use of technological results in the learning process. So that teachers are able to use the tools that have been provided by the school in the form of modern or traditional technology, and choose what media to use, and it is possible that these tools are in accordance with the developments and demands of the times. In MAN 1 Bireuen, innovative learning media based on information and communication technology are very helpful for teachers in the learning process, but there are still teachers who have not been able to use them, teachers also have difficulty using IT media and teachers also have difficulty in determining learning media that are in accordance with the material. The purpose of this study was to determine the teacher's ability to use learning media at MAN 1 Bireuen, and to determine the teacher's constraints in using learning media at MAN 1 Bireuen. The research used is qualitative using a descriptive approach. The research subjects were the principal and two teachers. Data collection techniques used observation, interviews and documentation. The results of this study indicate that the ability of teachers to use learning media at MAN 1 Bireuen is still not good, because there are teachers who cannot enter the power point system into the media. To use learning media, not all can master learning media, except for young teachers who are easy to use media and teachers who have not been able to use media for a long time. Constraints of the head of MAN 1 Bireuen in the use of learning media. First, very limited learning media, such as in completing learning media tools. Second, the lack of funds is also an obstacle for MAN 1 Bireuen. Third, the ability of teachers who are still lacking in the use of media. Fourth, the power grid sometimes goes out.

The impact of foreign firm ownership on local renewal activities

PurposeThe purpose of this study is to investigate how an increasingly intertwined international geography of ownership affects renewal activities and processes, including innovation, in established local companies that have shifted into foreign ownership. The authors develop a framework for the relations between (foreign) ownership and local renewal activities and processes (including innovation). The authors focus on access to resources for renewal, the development of capabilities for innovation and change, and local mandates to pursue renewal. Based on case studies of eight formerly Swedish-owned mid-size manufacturing companies that have shifted into and remained under foreign ownership during most of the 2010s, the authors develop a framework concerned with the relations between (foreign) ownership and renewal activities and processes in local firms.Design/methodology/approachMultiple intensive case studies of eight previously Swedish-owned mid-sized manufacturing companies to gain qualitative insights into the resource, capabilities and mandates for renewal under new ownership conditions. Empirical data collected primarily through semi-structured interviews and complemented with secondary material, including annual reports (2010–2018), databases, press releases and information on company websites. Empirical data were analyzed thematically to isolate key findings pertaining to renewal. At the core of the analysis process was the gradual creation of a framework that stipulates the relations between (foreign) ownership and firm renewal activities and processes.FindingsThe companies are endowed with liberal but conditional mandates to pursue strategic innovation in their original sites and draw on a stronger resource repertoire within their ownership spheres. In comparison to the established international business (IB) literature, the authors add considerations about how local aspects interact with international ones to form global distribution of renewal activities in our time. To economic geographers and innovation scholars, consideration of the local and its importance in renewal activities and processes is certainly not new, but we show how ownership is an important aspect that conditions some of the strategic interactions that companies have with their “outsides”.Originality/valueContributes to the burgeoning conversation between IB and economic geography disciplines. Emphasizes a deeper local aspect to the IB literature, partly how companies access resources and capabilities from the ownership sphere at points that suit their renewal efforts and partly the persistence of path-dependent aspects of local companies even as they get acquired by multinationals. Emphasizes ownership and mandate aspects to the literature in Economic geography, which tends to focus on regional/non-regional assets for renewal and innovation. Findings show that the non-regional assets are, in fact, two distinct categories as ownership becomes internationalized: assets within and outside the ownership sphere.

The Past of Our Storefront Future: A Century of Post-Transactional Storefront Transformations in The Hague's Urban Core

The transformation of storefronts to post-transactional functions has a much longer history than contemporary debates may suggest. Especially in urban environments, the number of physical retail establishments has declined almost constantly since records began nearly a century ago, allowing us to learn from the transformation of the storefronts this decline has left behind. This article explores how storefronts have transformed into post-transactional functions over the past century in the urban core of The Hague, one of the largest cities in The Netherlands and the country's seat of government. Firstly, it explores, through archival study, the forces behind The Hague's storefront retail decline, from legislation meant to curb independent retailers to urban renewal eff orts. Similarly, archival research illustrates that The Hague has a decades-long tradition of acknowledging and proactively planning for post-transactional storefront futures. Secondly, a comparison between a 1911 storefront database with that of 2017 demonstrates that about a fifth of storefronts have changed to a post-transactional use. The majority of transformations yielded dwellings, followed by offices, parking, vacancy and medical and wellness uses. Many of these new uses have spurred the creative economy of The Hague, illustrating the resilient urban value of storefronts beyond merely hosting consumer transactions.

Critical Success Factors for Safety Program Implementation of Regeneration of Abandoned Industrial Building Projects in China: A Fuzzy DEMATEL Approach

The regeneration of abandoned industrial buildings (RAIBs) has received extensive attention in urban renewal efforts to achieve urban sustainable development goals. Meanwhile, the construction safety performance of RAIBs is a major challenge with increasing RAIB projects in China. Safety programs have been considered as one of the proactive methods to effectively reduce accidents and injuries in the construction industry. Various studies have conducted critical success factors (CSFs) that influence the effective implementation of safety programs in new buildings. However, the CSFs affecting the construction safety program implementation of RAIBs were ignored. The aim of this study is to determine CSFs that affect the safety program implementation of RAIB projects. First, sixteen factors were identified combining characteristics of RAIBs with literature reviews and experts’ opinion. Second, the fuzzy set theory and decision-making trial and evaluation laboratory (DEMATEL) approach are proposed to identify the influencing degree of the factors and categorize these factors into cause-and-effect groups. Then, according to the causal diagram, management support (C1), allocation of authority and responsibility (C3), control of subcontractor (C5), personal attitude (C9), and safety inspections and hazard assessment (C14) are identified as the CSFs for the safety program implementation of RAIBs’ construction. This study guides the managers and stakeholders to especially concentrate on these CSFs in order to improve the efficiency of the safety program implementation of RAIB projects with limited resources. This study also will contribute to the improvement of safety performance and to the sustainable development goal of RAIB projects.

Legislation to support organising: could this renew the trade union movement?

Legislation to support organising:could this renew the trade union movement? Gareth Murphy (bio) Unions are increasingly seeking institutional support as a tactic in their renewal efforts and a means of levelling the playing field for unions and workers in the context of the often-increasing power and ability of employers to avoid unions. Research suggests that institutional support from a State can positively help unions rebuild membership and increase density across the economy. Organising approaches can work best where institutional support is also present (Ibsen and Tapia, 2017). Likewise, where institutional supports are weakened this corresponds to reduced union density (Eurofound, 2010). Two, positive examples in particular stand out. One, is the 'Ghent' system of welfare payment linked to trade union membership and, two, is the right for union organisers to access workplaces and workers who are not represented by trade unions at their workplace. FSU Ireland is developing this latter demand and calling for workers 'right to join' as part of a suite of institutional reforms to support workers unionising, protect activists and negotiate with their employer especially in newer non-union parts of the economy. In the US, the Biden administration is attempting to progress with an important piece of 'right to organise' legislation the PRO (Protecting the Right to Organise) Act responding to increasing and high-profile employer, and State, opposition to union organising which this journal has previously covered. 'The 'Ghent system' originated in Ghent, Belgium, whereby the States social welfare payments for unemployment benefit are directed through trade unions as opposed to a government agency. This provides workers a significant incentive to join their union and has helped maintain relatively high union density, 52 percent, levels in Belgium and other countries with it (Vandaele, 2019). Although it has been noted that the weakening of this system in recent times has negatively affected union members1. A paper by Jens Lind in 2004 specifically notes the high union density rates in Denmark, Finland and Sweden are due to the Ghent system (Lind, 2004). This paper also quotes a 1992 survey in Denmark of why you are a union member and the most popular answer was to be a member of the unemployment benefit fund. The paper warns that reforms of the model will weaken the incentive to join and union density. Baccarro and colleagues in 2003 note a word of caution and that is that unions embedded most in the State with strong institutional supports have been slower to turn to 'organising' and this may weaken grassroots organisation. It is a reasonable concern that relying too heavily on state support can hollow out a union and leave it weakened and vulnerable to removal of those supports at a later point. And so, any sectoral bargaining model that does not provide for the right to join, organise and be recognised in workplaces should be considered very carefully for potentially negative long-term consequences. More recently in Iceland, and contrary to trends in weakening this model, the Government has introduced the 'Ghent system' and this has had a very positive affect on union members. Iceland's union membership has grown by close to 11 percent between 2010 and 2017 and a union density of 88 percent of the workforce and collective bargaining coverage of over 90 percent (Vandaele, 2019). Ireland has 'voluntarist' industrial relations, with no statutory recognition or collective bargaining laws at an enterprise level. There are some sectoral arrangements, but they have been weakened over decades A different form of institutional support is evident from the 2000's on in New Zealand where a new Employment Relations Act (and amendments in 2004) provide union organisers with the right of access to talk to and encourage non-member to join the union in workplaces where the union was not recognised. It has been noted that these changes, amongst other things, brought New Zealand union membership back from the brink of collapse and has contributed to a steady climb in membership, which has stagnated in more recent times (Gall, 2009). Membership grew each year up to 2006 with a total growth of 25 percent or 70,000 net increase. This change follows an earlier policy reform in...

The Bible and Catholic Ressourcement: Essays on Scripture and Theology by William M. Wright IV

Reviewed by: The Bible and Catholic Ressourcement: Essays on Scripture and Theology by William M. Wright IV Jeffrey L. Morrow william m. wright iv, The Bible and Catholic Ressourcement: Essays on Scripture and Theology (Renewal within Tradition; Steubenville, OH: Emmaus Academic, 2020). Pp. 250. $43. William Wright has published a wonderful collection of essays that are concerned with reading the Bible both historically and theologically. The majority of the essays focus more on method, whereas the last three engage the biblical texts themselves. W. divides his work [End Page 167] into roughly three parts: the first three chapters examine the biblical thinking and work of three Catholic theologians whom W. identifies as Ressourcement theologians but who are more often referred to as informal members of La Nouvelle théologie, the term first used of them by Reginald Garrigou-Lagrange: Henri de Lubac, Yves Congar, and Joseph Ratzinger/ Pope Benedict XVI. Chapters 4–7 focus more exclusively on Ratzinger/Benedict's Jesus of Nazareth trilogy. The final three chapters apply the sort of biblical hermeneutics covered thus far, represented by de Lubac, Congar, and Ratzinger/Benedict, to specific texts: John 6:1–21 (chap. 8); the use of Psalm 69 in John's Gospel (chap. 9); and John 8:12–20. This focus on John's Gospel is not surprising since W. wrote his Emory University doctoral dissertation on John 9 (published as Rhetoric and Theology: Figural Reading of John 9 [BZNW 165; Berlin: de Gruyter, 2009]). Wright articulates the theme of his volume as "the interpretation of Scripture in relation to the movement in recent Catholic theology known as the Ressourcement" (p. 1). The figures in this movement were the thinkers involved in the liturgical, patristic, and biblical renewal efforts that played a foundational role in the work of ressourcement, or retrieval, a going back to the sources, that led to the Second Vatican Council, which was also known for its other emphasis on aggiornamento (updating). In chap. 1 ("Patristic Exegetical Theory and Practice in de Lubac and Congar"), W. examines how de Lubac and Congar approached patristic exegesis as having perennial value. In chap. 2 ("The Literal Sense of Scripture according to Henri de Lubac: Insights from Patristic Exegesis of the Transfiguration"), W. looks more closely at de Lubac's discussion of patristic exegesis, focusing on the concrete example of the Gospel accounts of Jesus's transfiguration. W. describes the way de Lubac engaged the early Christian exegesis of Origen, Jerome, and Augustine. Important for W. is understanding de Lubac's nuanced appreciation for the work of historical biblical criticism while at the same time embracing Maurice Blondel's critique of such exegesis. In chap. 3 ("Echoes of Biblical Apocalyptic in the Encyclical Teaching of Benedict XVI"), W. looks to Ratzinger/Benedict, drawing attention to what he refers to as Ratzinger/ Benedict's "biblical apocalypticism" in his papal encyclicals: "Benedict's analysis of the Church's present moment echoes the apocalyptic motif of a present crisis in which the people of God are caught up in a dramatic conflict with an antagonizing opposition. . . . Benedict positions atheistic humanism as instantiating the apocalyptic figure of the false prophet. . . . Benedict emphasizes the Church's Christoform witness of charity-in-truth as the way to confront these antagonistic accounts of humanism" (pp. 61–62). The significance that Ratzinger/Benedict clearly holds for W. is most evident in the four chapters (4–7) he devotes to the three volumes of Jesus of Nazareth: chap. 4, "A 'New Synthesis': Benedict XVI's Jesus of Nazareth: Volume 1"; chap. 5, "Pre-Gospel Traditions and Post-Critical Interpretation in Benedict XVI's Jesus of Nazareth: Volume 2; chap. 6, "Living with the Word of God: The Holy Family in Jesus of Nazareth: The Infancy Narratives"; chap. 7, "Patristic Biblical Hermeneutics in Benedist XVI's Jesus of Nazareth." W. argues that Jesus of Nazareth demonstrates the kind of exegesis Ratzinger/Benedict thinks should be done. W.'s comment about vol. 1 applies just as well as to how he views the entire trilogy: "It is a genuine exercise in Ressourcement theology" (p. 113), wherein, as he explains in chap. 7, "Benedict's theological presentation . . . is identical with his...

Family Empowerment Through the Muhammadiyah Learning Program: A Case Study at the Private University in Jakarta

The purpose of this evaluative research is to assess the implementation of the Muhammadiyah learning program which is a compulsory subject in all Muhammadiyah and Aisyiah Universities (PTMA). The study was conducted at the University of Muhammadiyah Prof. Dr. Hamka (Uhamka) from January to April 2020. This research is qualitative. The informants were selected using a purposive technique, consisting of students, lecturers, Uhamka leaders, and the leadership of the Muhammadiyah Higher Education and Research Council. Data was collected using interview techniques, Focused Group Discussion (FGD), and documentation. The data were analyzed by evaluating the CIPP model. The results of the study show that there are still several obstacles in the learning of Muhammadiyah, among others, in terms of context, there are still debates about the content of the curriculum. Renewal efforts have been made with the publication of new textbooks. There were obstacles regarding the availability, qualifications, and certification of Kemuhammadiyahan lecturers from the input side. In terms of process, the duration of learning which is only 2 credits is felt to be insufficient to implement learning with empowerment strategies. Finally, in terms of products, despite the development of student views about Muhammadiyah, these developments have not significantly changed the religious traditions they believe in so far.

Crisis, Urban Fabrics, and the Public Interest: The Israeli Experience

The relation between urbanization and pandemics is not new. In fact, the “reformative” urban plans of the late 19th and early 20th centuries sought the addition of green patches, reliable running water systems, good sanitation, and sunlight to fend off the common ailments of the industrial city. No wonder then that these urban planning elements are also compatible with the Covid-19 era, as ample green and low-density areas are supposed to ensure or at least support quality of life and good health, even amid the health crisis we face today. This article examines whether additional elements tie together urban fabrics and coping with crises, particularly pandemics. To answer this question, I examine national urban planning in the state of Israel from the mid-20th century onwards. Urban planning in Israel has implemented theories and precedents from Europe and America; however, Israeli planners have also included nationalist-ideological contents in their work, so that the state and its interests have dictated their planning. The article concludes that the state interest of producing a cohesive society has created Israeli urban fabrics with community values and proximity to green areas, which are better suited for individual coping with crises involving the denial of personal freedom, whether due to a pandemic or any other reason. Accordingly, it proposes viewing these elements as suggestive of the need for significant involvement by public representatives in future urban renewal efforts.

High-resolution combined building stock and building energy modeling to evaluate whole-life carbon emissions and saving potentials at the building and urban scale

As global and local actors seek to address climate concerns, municipalities, regions, and countries are developing policies for the built environment to reach carbon neutrality. In most cases, however, current policies target new construction and operational carbon emissions only, thus omitting the significant carbon emission saving potential resulting from the reactivation of embodied carbon in existing buildings. This article describes the development of a high-resolution combined building stock model (BSM) and building energy model (BEM) on both building and urban scale using all residential buildings of Ithaca, NY, USA as a case study. The model offers a holistic, detailed and local perspective on operational and embodied carbon emissions, associated saving potentials at both the building and urban scale, and the linkages, trade-offs and synergies between buildings and energy use as a basis for decision-making.A circular economy (CE) in construction posited on the reuse and recycling of existing building materials, necessitates a detailed material inventory of the current building stock. However, the scale and nature of this endeavor preclude traditional survey methods. The modeling process described in this article instead engages a bottom-up data aggregation and analysis approach that combines detailed construction archetypes (CAs) and publicly available, higher-level municipal geospatial data with building metadata defining occupancy and systems to create an autogenerated, detailed 3D geometry. The resulting BSM and BEM can simulate both embodied carbon content and operational carbon emissions of individual buildings within a municipal study with minimal required input data and a feasible computational effort. This provides modelers with a new spatial and geometric fidelity to simulate holistic renewal efforts, and inform carbon neutrality policies and incentives towards the decarbonization of the built environment.

Prinsip dan Pengembangan Media IT dalam Pembelajaran Pendidikan Agama Islam

In the era of information technology, Information and Communication Technology (ICT) has become part of the lifestyle, especially in the academic world. The development of science and technology increasingly encourages renewal efforts in the use of technological results in the learning process. Teachers are required to be able to use the tools that can be provided and in accordance with the developments and demands of the times. In addition to being able to use the available tools, teachers are also required to be able to develop skills in making learning media that will be used if the media is not yet available. For this reason, teachers must have sufficient knowledge and understanding of learning media. In learning communication, learning media is needed to increase the effectiveness of achieving learning objectives. By using the media, the interaction between teachers and students is no longer only done through face-to-face relationships. Teachers can provide services without having to deal directly with students. Similarly, students can obtain information in a broad scope from various sources through cyber space or virtual space using computers or the internet.

How do landscape elements affect public health in subtropical high-density city: The pathway through the neighborhood physical environmental factors

Purposes of this study are to explore associations between neighborhood landscape elements and public health in a subtropical high-density urban context, elucidate mediating effects of physical environmental factors, and propose corresponding neighborhood renewal strategies.Nine sampling sites were selected in Guangzhou, China, and public health data were collected from 438 participating residents using the MOS item short from health survey (SF-36 scale). Landscape elements of the neighborhoods, including greenness, blue spaces, walking trail systems, public squares, garden architecture, and dedicated sports spaces were mapped by unmanned aerial vehicle surveys. Seven physical environmental factors were measured: the heat stress index (HSI), relative humidity (RH), average wind speed (AWS), negative oxygen ions (NOI), <2.5 μM particulate matter (PM2.5), illumination (I), and noise (N). General linear models were used to explore differences between neighborhoods in landscape elements. Relationships between public health and both landscape elements and physical environmental factors, as well as the mediating pathways involved, were explored by correlation analysis and Mediation analyses.In subtropical high-density neighborhood, I, RH, HSI, NOI, and PM2.5 were significantly correlated with public health in the neighborhoods, as were greenness, blue spaces, walking trail systems, and public squares. Multiple mediation analysis showed that greenness, blue spaces and public squares significantly affected public health, with mediation by I, HSI and NOI. Landscape elements have close associations with public health, mainly mediated by effects on light, thermal, and atmospheric environments. These closely related landscape elements and physical environments need careful attention in neighborhood renewal efforts.

Relevansi Pemikiran Pendidikan KH. Imam Zarkasyi Dalam Pembentukan Intrapersonal Intelegensi

This article discusses about the relevance of KH Imam Zarkasi thoughts of education in developing intrapersonal intelligence. It is a kind of library research using descriptive-qualitative method. The resutt of this research shows that KH. Imam Zarkasi`s thoughts are still very relevant to be implemented in developing students` intrapersonal intelligence. Among of his thoughts are; 1) developing intrapersonal intelligence can be through two ways; intentionally, that is through education in formal institutions, and unintentionally that is through interaction with the surrounding community and the nature. 2) The method of learning to develop intrapersonal intelligence is through individual training; by entrusting children to carry out their own duties with full responsibility, giving children the opportunity to make their own decisions and be responsible for their decisions, and other similar activities. These thoughts have been applied by KH Imam Zarkasi through the institution he developed, namely Pondok Pesantren Gontor. Among of his renewal efforts are; The implementation learning using classical system, the use of learning methods that provide opportunities for children to develop their thinking power critically, independently and responsibly, and provide extracurricular activities as a forum for students to develop themselves.&#x0D; Education Thoughts, KH. Imam Zarkasyi, Intrapersonal Intelligence

KREATIVITAS, INOVASI, DAN PRODUKTIVITAS DI ERA MERDEKA BELAJAR MELALUI TRANSPFORMASI E-LEARNING

The development of science and technology increasingly encourages renewal efforts in the use of technological results in the learning process. Media that can support learning include computer media. In the era of pandemic, distance learning is very much needed and recommended to suppress the spread of COVID 19. There are many learning media platforms that can be used during distance learning today. Teachers are required to develop skills in making media or developing learning media because the methods and learning media used by teachers greatly affect the results of the teaching and learning process. Thus, there is a need for training in making online-based learning media that will be used during a pandemic and distance learning.

ANALISIS KEMAMPUAN GURU SEKOLAH DASAR TENTANG PENGGUNAAN APLIKASI MACROMEDIA FLASH GUGUS 2 KECAMATAN TAMPAN KOTA PEKANBARU

The development of science and technology is increasingly encouraging renewal efforts in the use of technological results in the learning process. Teachers are required to be able to understand and use the available tools in an effort to achieve the expected teaching goals. This study aims to determine the teacher's knowledge about the use of macromedia flash applications. Based on the results in several schools in general, teachers are not well acquainted with the application of macromedia flash, until it was found that there were still many teachers who taught using conventional methods. With such conditions, it certainly has an impact on low student learning outcomes.
