    The Art of Learning Community: Technology and Gamification As A Recipe For Learning Umami

    How can arts, technology, mobile apps, and a learning community be used as flavors to create an engaging learning platform to motivate students?School reform efforts purport to create engaged learners that can think creatively beyond the standards, however, teachers struggle with how to reconcile the culture of standardized testing with the learner engagement and motivation that is key to student success. When designing learning experiences that promote creativity, via information and computer technology, teachers need to adopt an ecological approach that encompasses people, practices, values, and technology interacting- with the spotlight being on human activities. The Japanese word umami describes how humans engage all senses to form judgments about their food. This provides an apt metaphor for instructional design. Food should be nourishing, presentable, and delicious- a feast for the senses. This is a worthy standard for any lesson- the goal of “learning umami.” The author proposed to create an analogous process in crafting an online learning community (http://edvislee.wix.com/rehearse-for-life), which consists of a mash-up of tools, apps, content, gamification, and collaboration with artists as “flavors” for engagement. This paper will review the community’s features before and after modifications, discuss design implications and rationale for changes, and make recommendations for additional improvements. The results demonstrate how pedagogy, design, and evaluation can be used to tailor existing apps, tools, services, and content to create a compelling learning community to meet any instructional design challenge

    Many procedures continuously in aquaculture and scientific research like tagging and vaccinating cause pain, involving damaging tissue and also cause stress responses in fish. Stress responses in fish influence liver because liver have vital role to supply energy and metabolism. Histology alteration in liver is caused by stress response like changes of vacuolation hepatocyte and characteristic colour. Triterpenoid was known had hepatoprotective activity. One of marine organism contained triterpenoid was sea cucumber. Result of research showed that liver tissue in fish with injected acetic acid 5 % (in upper lip) as pain stimulus have histopathology damages such as pyknosis (medium damage level) and oedema (heavy damage level) after 8 hour injection. Injected Lidocaine 1mg/fish as analgesic drug have histopathology damages such as oedema (heavy damages level), necrosis and pyknosis (low damages level). Injected acetic acid 5 % (in upper lip) and ethanolic extract of sea cucumber Phyllophorus sp. dose 5 mg/50 gr body weight shown histopathology damages such as necrosis, edema (medium damage level) and pyknosis (low damage level

    ABSTRAK   Maharani, Selvina. 2015. Pengembangan Bahan Ajar Menggunakan Pendekatan Saintifik untuk Mengeksplisitkan Hakikat Sains (NOS) dan Berpikir Kritis pada Materi Termokimia. Skripsi, Jurusan Kimia, Fakultas MIPA, Universitas Negeri Malang. Pembimbing: (I) Drs. Prayitno, M.Pd (II) Dra. Sri Rahayu, M.Ed, Ph.D   Kata Kunci: Bahan ajar, pendekatan saintifik, hakikat sains (NOS), berpikir kritis, literasi sains Berdasarkan hasil penelitian terhadap hasil pembelajaran didapatkan siswa mengalami kesulitan dan kesalahan konsep pada materi termokimia. Salah satu penyebab kesulitan adalah pendekatan pembelajaran yang digunakan kurang tepat dan tidak mengacu pada pengembangan kemampuan siswa dalam berliterasi sains. Hal ini dibuktikan dengan hasil penelitian OECD melalui PISA, literasi sains siswa Indonesia masih tergolong rendah. Untuk mengatasi kesulitan tersebut diperlukan proses pembelajaran yang melibatkan siswa aktif membangun konsep sendiri secara mandiri. Proses pembelajaran tersebut yaitu melalui pendekatan saintifik. Namun, sampai saat ini belum ada bahan ajar yang sesuai dengan pendekatan saintifik dan masih mengimplisitkan aspek hakikat sains (NOS), sehingga aspek NOS kurang mendapat perhatian siswa. Oleh karena itu, bahan ajar yang dikembangkan ini bertujuan untuk menghasilkan bahan ajar menggunakan pendekatan saintifik untuk mengeksplisitkan hakikat sains (NOS) dan berpikir kritis pada materi termokimia agar dapat meningkatkan kemampuan berliterasi sains siswa. Model pengembangan yang digunakan adalah model pengembangan 4D, yang terdiri dari tahap pembatasan (define), perancangan (design), pengembangan (develop), dan penyebaran (disseminate). Namun, pengembangannya hanya terbatas pada tahap define, design, serta develop, dan tidak sampai pada tahap disseminate karena keterbatasan waktu, biaya, dan tenaga. Dalam pengembangan ini, akan diperoleh data kuantitatif berdasarkan skor angket yang disusun dalam skala Likert, serta data kualitatif berdasarkan tanggapan dan saran-saran perbaikan yang diisi oleh validator ahli dan guru kimia terhadap bahan ajar yang dikembangkan. Spesifikasi bahan ajar yang dikembangkan adalah bahan ajar digunakan agar memudahkan siswa dalam mengkonstruk konsep secara mandiri dan tersedia dalam dua bentuk buku yaitu buku guru dan buku siswa yang dieksplisitkan hakikat sains pada materi yang berhubungan dan indikator berpikir kritis pada soal menalar. Hasil validasi bahan ajar secara keseluruhan diperoleh nilai rata-rata 90,7% untuk buku siswa dengan kriteria sangat layak dan 92,5% untuk buku panduan guru dengan kriteria sangat layak. Oleh karena itu dapat disimpulkan bahwa bahan ajar menggunakan pendekatan saintifik untuk mengeksplisitkan hakikat sains (NOS) dan berpikir kritis pada materi termokimia sangat layak untuk diterapkan dalam pembelajaran
