PEMAHAMAN MASYARAKAT TERHADAP KOMUNIKASI ILMU PENGETAHUAN DAN TEKNOLOGI
Get PDFThe scientific community faces many challenges, from the funding of scientific research to the public communication of science and technology. A better understanding of science and technology's complex dynamics and interactions with the society, taking the opinions of the general public into account, has also been found useful for the endeavour to increase access to knowledge and move towards social control of science and technology's innovation. Such research will contribute to better knowledge of how knowledge operates in society, as well as serving the practical needs of those concerned with improving public understanding of science and technology
PERAN TEKNOLOGI TEPAT GUNA UNTUK MASYARAKAT DAERAH PERBATASAN Kasus Propinsi Kepulauan Riau
Get PDFThe development in Indonesia's borderlands which relies on the capability of their local community in constructing appropriate technologies is one of the key factors in promoting their living standard and in boosting their self confidence. This capability, as one of the forms of the the local community empowerment, is composed of such factors as the attitude, capability and capacity level, ability to allocate their available resources, and level of understanding on technology of the local community as well as the availability of the institutional infrastructures in their local government. The borderlands may integrate the concept of appropriate technological development into their community empowerment program whose aim is to improve their local people's living standard
Sumber Daya Air di Wilayah Pesisir & Pulau-pulau Kecil di Indonesia
Get PDFBuku ini merupakan hasil penelitian yang pernah dilakukan oleh Kelompok Peneliti Sumber Daya Air Pusat Penelitian Geoteknologi "“ LIPI,
Membaca buku ini menyentakkan kita betapa teknologi maju dalam pemrosesan air bersih belum diterapkan, seperti memproses air laut jadi air tawar. Juga belum ada dukungan penuh terhadap penelitian sumber daya air di wilayah Indonesia, terbukti dengan sedikitnya pustaka yang ditulis oleh ilmuan kita dalam dekade terakhir ini. Air merupakan salah satu aspek geografi dalam ketahanan nasional, dan secara umum telah diketahui bahwa aktivitas manusia selalu berhubungan dengan air untuk memenuhi hajat kehidupannya. Oleh karena itu, pola permukiman biasanya mengikuti pola pematang di daerah tersebut, sehingga air merupakan suatu kekuatan nasional dalam menghadapi segala tantangan, ancaman, hambatan serta gangguan dari luar maupun dari dalam, langsung ataupun tidak langsung di dalam kehidupan bernegara(hal 204). Seperti di Jakarta jumlah pemakaian air diperkirakan berkisar antara 60 sampai 150 liter per orang per hari (45 m3 per orang per tahun) (hal 137). Secara kualitatif parameter air yang paling mudah diketahui adalah warna, bau, kekeruhan, dan rasa. Umumnya pengguna air mudah mencapai kesepakatan dalam menilai, tetapi untuk rasa lebih sulit dari ketiga parameter di atas (hal. 296). Permasalahan langkanya sumber daya air bersih bertambah, dengan adanya perubahan iklim akibat pemanasan global (global warming) dan pembalakan hutan secara liar. Di buku ini banyak rumus atau istilah yang sangat khusus untuk bidang ilmu yang mengkajinya saja, disayangkan sedikit sekali muatan solusi dari keadaan lingkungan yang diteliti
PEMANTAPAN KETAHANAN NASIONAL NKRI MELALUI PENDEKATAN KEBAHASAAN STUDI KASUS : Masyarakat Perbatasan di Batam
Get PDFAn appropriate step to maintain national resilience & unity of the NKRI is by linguistic approach. In this case, the frontier community on Batam island. The basic assumption is to analyze their language, then, characteristic of the speakers might be acquired. By understanding their language, enables a strategy to be carried-out properly in guiding & socializing bahasa Indonesia to encourage awareness of nationalism & patriotism. This research-based theory consists of at least three scientific-fields. First a theory which relates to linguistic (especially sociolinguistic). Secondly, sociological-anthropology (essentially cultural). Finally the third is science of communication (particularly dynamic-communicatiion)
CRITICAL REVIEW OF ETHNOGRAPHIC APPROACH
Get PDFThere are two basic characteristics of ethnography: (1) the observation takes place in natural setting, (2) researchers must understand how an event is perceived and interpreted by the people in a speech community. In other words, the researchers try to interpret the situation being observed from the perspective of the participants. Ethnography also relies on observations of interactions and interviews with participants in naturally occurring situation. The next characteristic of ethnography is the characteristic of "holistic" which means seeing the data as a whole in order to get a basis for explanation about the observable fact. Another characteristic is that ethnographic approach does not formulate the hypothesis prior to the research. The hypothesis will emerge as the data collection occurs. Ethnographic research has one main drawback related to reliability. It is difficult to replicate ethnographic research because an event in natural setting cannot be reproduced. There is also one main problem dealing with validity. Unlike another research where the researcher can maximally control external variables, the ethnographic research does not have this facility because the research is carried out in natural setting and due to the long time period of observation. Despite the limitations of the ethnographic approach, it has benefits for research in naturalistic setting such as class room research, language learning process in a particular speech community, and so forth because the finding is more real than a research that manipulates variables by using external experiments. Key words: ethnography, observation, natural settin
PERAN VISI DALAM MENGAWAL PROSES REFORMASI JATI DIRI BANGSA
Get PDFSpeaking of a nation's identity, should be influenced by what it did in the past, its present condition, and what vision it has for the future. Nation's identity needs to be continuously reformed. Since way back from independence, Indonesia has been through an up and down with its development progress. Its history and present condition should be managed into a vision that can mobilize its people to step onto a better future. This article is meant for capturing a flash look at Indonesian past and present, some visions that have arose in Indonesia, and how those visions would be meant for its citizens to interpret it
DIFFERENCES IN MEN’S AND WOMEN’S ESL ACADEMIC WRITING AT THE UNIVERSITY OF MELBOURNE
Get PDFThis study examines men’s and women’s ESL academic writing in their written assignments at the University of Melbourne. Three sets of men’s and women’s academic writing were analyzed for several common features of academic writing including syntactic complexity, means of integrating cited information, and methods of presenting arguments. The findings showed significant differences between the men’s and women’s texts in those three aspects. The structure of the women’s texts tended to be more complex than the men’s. The women also used more paraphrases to integrate cited information, and presented better organized arguments. Those characteristics of the women’s texts presumably would be advantages for their success in academic writing, and indicate a higher level of proficiency in ESL academic writing
PERAN KOMUNIKASI DALAM PENGEMBANGAN DAN PENERAPAN IPTEK DI INDONESIA
Get PDFCommunication is used to both spread and develop science and technology. Communication technology can be used as a means of political propaganda, to change a concept, and move resources and an individual from one location to another. Some important values that we have to construct in communication are, among others, honesty (mutual trust) in determining a value system, in researching the cultural system of a community, in modifying information, and in spreading information. The obstacles in implementing a communication in Indonesia are that the Indonesian people have not yet had a blue print of their own cultural values and self concept, and many of them are information illiterate as well as still categorized as low-class or "kroco jiwa" individuals.

Angka Dalam Berita, Siapa Takut
Get PDFDalam masa globalisasi dan internet, informasi datang dari segala penjuru, gaya berkomunikasi pun telah berevolusi dengan melibatkan angka-angka sebagai penunjang argumentasi penyedia informasi untuk meyakinkan pembacanya. Masalah kemudian muncul ketika kebenaran yang dicoba untuk diwakili oleh angka tersebut bertemu dengan konsumen dengan berbagai jenis kualifikasi kepekaan terhadap informasi. Angka yang sejatinya bersifat eksak, menurut Blastland dan Dilnot, ketika menjadi agen informasi bisa menjadi tidak sepasti sifat aslinya. Kadang terkandung motif-motif politis atau marketing di dalam angka, atau juga hanya kesalahan interpretasi penyalur informasi terhadap suatu angka. Kadang juga informasi yang terkandung sudah benar, tapi tidak menyeluruh sehingga pembaca sulit mengetahui apa sebenarnya informasi yang ingin disampaikan media yang bersangkutan
