STUDENTS’ REFLECTION ON THEIR PERSONAL AND ACADEMIC LIFE DURING EARLY COVID-19 PANDEMIC

Our world has been transformed dramatically by COVID-19 Pandemic as it affected health, economy, politic, social, education, etc. The aim of this research is discovering students’ reflection toward their personal and academic life during early COVID-19 pandmic situations grounded on three zones, namely fear, learning, and growth zones. This descriptive qualitative survey research used questionnaires to gather the data from 187 freshmen in a university in Palembang. The data were analyzed and interpreted by using a thematic analysis consisting of six steps, namely (1) familiarizing with the data, (2) generating initial codes, (3) searching for themes, (4) reviewing themes, (5) defining and naming themes, and (6) producing the report. The research results show that students reflected on their personal and academic life differently when it was reflected based on the three zones. There were also some factors influencing the reflection, namely the transition between senior high school and university and the typically online learning process demanding autonomous learning. Finally, the research suggests that, alongside the society, students might learn how to move gradually one zone to another in order to overcome this global crisis. Therefore, covid-19 pandemic should be perceived then as a lesson learnt.

Toleransi Kekeringan Sawi Hijau pada Osmopriming Benih dan Interval Pemberian Air Sampai Kapasitas Lapang

Green mustard (Brassica chinensis L.) is widely cultivated commercially. The problem is that some farmers use self-propagated seeds with simple processing and storage facilities so that the quality of the seeds is not guaranteed and is low. Apart from seed quality, limited water, especially during cultivation in the dry season or on dry land, is also a limiting factor. Low seed quality can be overcome by invigorating seeds using the osmopriming method; water limitations can be overcome by periodically fulfilling field capacity water. This research aimed to measure and analyze the growth response and drought tolerance of green mustard plants in seed osmopriming treatments and setting water intervals to field capacity. The research was carried out at the Experimental Field and Plant Physiology Laboratory, Faculty of Agriculture, IBA University in Palembang, in October-December 2020. The research used a 5x3 Factorial Randomized Block Design, with 3 replications, so there were 45 experimental units. The first factor was seed osmopriming, O1= control (water), O2= CaCl2 1.5% - soaked 4.5 hours, O3=CaCl2 3%-soaked for 4.5 hours, O4=KNO3 1%-soaked for 5 hours, and O5=KNO3 1.5%-soaked for 5 hours. The second factor was watering interval to field capacity, P1= every 24 hours, P2= every 72 hours, and P3= every 120 hours. The research results showed that osmopriming produced values of germination power, vigor index, growth speed, growth simultaneity and maximum seed growth potential of 100%, and with fast and relatively the same germination age of 4.22 to 5.05 days after planting (dap). In plants 14 dap, osmopriming with 1.5% KNO3 and soaking for 5 hours produced plants with the highest height, number of leaves and root length. The interaction of osmopriming with intervals of water supply to field capacity every 24 hours and 72 hours produces plants with the highest height, number of leaves, root length and weight/yield. There was a decrease in plant growth and yield at the interval of providing water to field capacity every 120 hours. The drought tolerance of green mustard is in watering intervals to field capacity every 72 hours.

The Impact of Voltage on Coils with 500 and 1000 Windings on the Performance of a Transformer in the Integrated Physics Laboratory at Campus B of Raden Fatah State Islamic University in Palembang: An Experiment of Physics Education

The premise of this study is the lack of understanding regarding the distinction between utilizing 500 and 100 coils for transformers. This study investigates the influence of altering the number of windings on transformer coils on the generated voltage. The employed research methodology is experimental. The data analysis results indicate that a step-up transformer exhibits a primary voltage that is lower than its secondary voltage. By contrast, a step-down transformer exhibits a primary voltage that is greater than its secondary voltage. This is a result of the disparity in the number of windings between the secondary and primary coils. A step-up transformer is designed with a greater number of windings on the secondary coil, which leads to an increased secondary voltage. In contrast, a step-down transformer is designed with a greater number of windings on the primary coil, resulting in a reduced secondary voltage. This investigation validates the existence of a correlation between the quantity of windings on transformer coils and the voltage generated. Hence, the voltage of a transformer might fluctuate based on alterations in the quantity of windings on the coils.

Implementing Writing Skills through The Genre Approach

Despite being largely regarded as a foreign language; English plays an undeniably significant part in Palembang's economy and educational system. Contrarily, research reveals that English proficiency among Palembang pupils’ declines. This article details a study that looked at how much EFL English majors at PGRI Palembang University improved their ability to write argumentative essays after being subjected to genre-based writing exercises with their writing instructors. The findings showed that students consistently struggled to criticize or refute opposing viewpoints and come up with more powerful rebuttals, even after being exposed to the preparation of genre-based argumentative essays. However, they were able to demonstrate development in their ability to recognize the rhetorical structures (genres) and lexicon-grammatical characteristics of the full argumentative essay. The strategy received favourable feedback from the participants. The paired sample t-test also revealed that students' post-intervention argumentative texts significantly outperformed their pre-intervention drafts. It is commonly accepted that students may regulate the linguistic aspects of the type of text with a specific communicative aim and comfortably enhance their writing skills by studying through a genre-based approach to writing. The consequences for teaching writing in an EFL setting are demonstrated in this essay. Additionally, it urges the adoption of a genre approach in EFL writing classes.
