Practical activities are the main activities of learning biology whose implementation is rarely evaluated. This study aimed to determine the quality of biology practicum which includes planning and implementation of biology practicum and student learning outcomes thereafter. The population in this study was students, teachers and and laboratory assistant in Junior High School (JHS) 2 Ngemplak, Indonesia. Purposive sampling was used as sampling technique, in which the sample were 93 students of class VIII A to VIII C, 1 teachers and 1 laboratory assistant. The instruments used in this study were observation sheets. The evaluation criteria were adjusted based on the Regulation of the Minister of National Education. Data were analyzed descriptively and qualitatively. The results inform that the planning and implementation of biology practicum activities were in good categories. In addition, student learning outcomes have also exceeded the minimum completeness score. The results of this study indicate the importance of practicum activities and their contribution to biology learning outcomes. Therefore, the implementation of practicum is highly recommended to be optimized in other schools.Biology science practicum learning: An evaluation study in junior high school of Ngemplak-Indonesia

Music educators have experience working in education environments governed by shifting policies and mandates. How can music educators become agents empowered to shape, interpret, and design mechanisms for putting policy into practice? This article describes ways to understand policy and options for responding and contributing to its development and implementation. We examine how music educators have responded to two policy areas that have had a significant impact on music programs and teachers in recent years: (1) learning standards and (2) evaluation of student learning as a component of teacher evaluation. Examples in this article are meant to serve as a case in point for how music educators can become more responsive and actively engaged in policy matters.
