This course is the necessary one in undergraduate science education. Ecology as a science and scientific method used by ecologist. In what part of ecology that ecology has strong ties to other sciences. Environmental science need ecology; examples of environmental problems that need ecological concepts.
Assessment
in science is aimed to give students basic ability in planning assessment in
science instruction and as research instrument. This course lay basic knowledge
in mastering assessment objective and function; assessment roll in
teaching-learning processes type and procedure of assessment; planning,
conducting and analyzing test items (conceptual and science process skills);
performance assessment ( lab work assessment) and classroom based assessment.
Discussion and expository approach is used within the course, as well as
assignment (individually, in group) and group result presentations. Their
competence is assessed through formative assessment and variety of tests and
product of assignment, presentation and discussion.
This course is a concentration competency course in undergraduate science education. It is the basic of knowledge and pedagogical aspects of chemistry at school, so it is also functions as a supporting course for expertise course group at science education program. After attended this course, it is expected that the student can have the better understand to the basic concept of chemical analysis, both of conventional and modern analysis, which is needed to support student competencies as a science teacher. Course subject consist of Analytical chemistry as a part of chemistry, steps in chemical analysis, qualitative analysis, Quantitative analysis (titrimetric and gravimetric analysis), spectrometric analysis, separation methods in analytical chemistry. The course will be arranged using Problem Based learning. Student ask to search the litelature related to subject, then discuss it in the class meeting. The students achievement checked by mid-semester test and final-semester test, individual and group task and presentation.
This course emphasizes an understanding of essential (Fundamental/basic) biological concepts with emphasis on function in and relevance to humans daily life. Topics include basic scientific methods, the cell, inheritance, biodiversity, organism structure and function, evolution, ecology and behavior, and ecosystem. The aim of this course is to introduce many of these concepts, thereby providing the foundation for further studies in more specialist courses. Topics to be covered include the chemicals of life, macromolecules, the role of nucleic acids in genetic information transfer, protein synthesis, lipid membranes and the structure of cells, storage and utilisation of energy, meiosis and mitosis.
Basic Technology Education (BTE) is the study about technology as well as influence on the individual, the community, the environment, and the process of culture by acknowledging the potential for the student's individual to develop the reasoning capacity, the solution to the problem, creativity to design and explained it with various equipment and material. Basic Technology Education makes the content of technology and the experience that contribute to the growth and the development of humankind. The objectives of this course are knowing and adapting the importance of technology, use the equipment, material, the process and the concepts of technology safely. The method that will be used by the lecture is problem solving and the system approach through discussions in the group and class. The assignments for student are making paper about the study of technology as well as the technological product that will be presented in front of the class as well as discussed.
This compulsory course is an introduction to electricity and magnetism especially for prospective teachers on science education. By analyzing the science curricula in secondary school, this course will be expected to prepare the prospective teacher to be able to conduct the topic of electricity and magnetism at school. The course content consists of Dynamic Electricity (Direct Current, Alternating Current), Static Electricity, Magnetic Fields and Induction, and the Applications of Electricity and Magnetism. The subject is conducted interactively through experiment, speech, discussion, and exercising. The instrument evaluations are Homework, Poster and Science Project, Mid term, and Final term.
Teaching preparation is an important course of becoming a pre-service science teacher. It provides the students with experience in composing the syllabi, lesson plan, media, worksheet, and assessment for science teaching. During teaching preparation, the students get the opportunity can try the art of teaching before actually getting into the teaching practice in the next semester. The students are encouraged to analyze both secondary schools’science curriculum and Indonesian curriculum as contents for developing lesson plans applying appropriate, teaching approaches and strategies. Lecturer’s and peers’ feedback will accomplish the students teaching competencies after a set of teaching performances.
Modern physics is the optional study about post-Newtonian conception of physics underlying structure of the smallest particles in nature (quantum mechanics), as well as a rigorous understanding of the solid state physics and its application. The objectives of this course are to apply modern physics concept in nanotechnology through mini research. The methods used are lecturing, presentation, laboratory activity, paper review, and project based learning. The assignments for student are paper review, research paper, homework, and laboratory report.
Teaching media and ICT Literacy : focus on how student have understanding and skill to make teaching media related to and based on subject matter. Therefore student have to have knowledge about the description of meaning of teaching media, explain various art of teaching media, have skill how to make teaching media based on and developed from teaching material, and have knowledge about computer and multimedia.
This course elaborates the strategies for designing effective computer based instruction in scientific teaching
