AbstrakPembelajaran IPA dan laboratorium tidak dapat dipisahkan keberadaannya secara fungsional. Guru sebagai komponen penting dalam menentukan keberhasilan pendidikan menjadi protokol dalam kegiatan pembelajaran IPA berbasis laboratorium dan pengelolaannya. Tujuan kegiatan pelatihan ini adalah untuk meningkatkan kemampuan guru dalam mengoperasikan alat peraga laboratorium, serta meningkatkan kemampuan guru terhadap teknik pengelalolaan laboratorium dan keterampilan menggunakan alat laboratorium guru. Kegiatan pelatihan ini menerapkan strategi kontekstual, yaitu mengaitkan antara teori dengan praktik yang disampaikan  dengan metoda praktik terbimbing yaitu sistem pengajaran yang berorientasi pada pemecahan masalah yang dihadapi mengenai pengelolaan laboratorium. Pelaksanaan kegiatan pelatihan ini bertempat di SMP Negeri 2 Bandar Lampung, dengan subjek kegiatan pelatihan ini adalah 75 orang guru mata pelajaran IPA SMP/MTs se-Kota Bandar Lampung. Hasil kegiatan pelatihan ini menunjukan bahwa ada peningkatan pengetahuan managerial laboratorium, dimana seluruh kemampuan peseta meningkat kecuali bagi para peserta yang tidak mengikuti kegiatan pelatihan hingga akhir. Kemampuan guru dalam menggunakan alat peraga (kit) IPA sudah baik. Hasil penilaian 100% guru telah mencapai standar ketuntasan yaitu > 70. Dengan demikian, kegiatan pelatihan dikatagorikan berhasil dalam meningatkan kemampuan guru IPA MTs se-Kota Bandar Lampung tata kelola laboratorium dan penggunaan perangkat/kit IPA serta mampu mengenal fungsi dan kegunaan alat dan bahan praktikum dalam menunjang pembelajaran IPA. Kata kunci: alat peraga IPA, pembelajaran IPA, pengelolaan laboratorium. Training of Laboratory Management And use of Natural Science Teaching AidsFor Junior High School Science Teachers in Bandar LampungAbstractScience and laboratory learning is not be separated as functionally tools. The teacher as an important component in determining the success of education becomes a protocol in laboratory-based science learning activities and its management. The purpose of this training activity was to improve the ability of teachers to operate laboratory teaching aids, and to manage laboratory techniques. The method used in this activity was to applying the contextual strategy to linked theory with practice delivered with the guided practice method. There was teaching system oriented towards solving problems encountered regarding laboratory management. The implementation of the training activities took place at SMP Negeri 2 Bandar Lampung, which was held for 4 days (32 hours). The subjects in this training activity were 75 Junior High School Science Teachers in Bandar Lampung. The results of this training activity showed that there was an increase in laboratory managerial knowledge, where all trainees' abilities increased except for participants who did not attend the training activities until the end. The ability of teachers to use science teaching aids (kits) is good. The results of the 100% assessment of teachers have reached the completeness standard of >70. Therefores, the training activities are categorized as successful in reminding the ability of science teachers throughout Bandar Lampung in laboratory management and the use of science devices and being able to recognize the functions and usefulness of practical tools and materials in supporting science learning.Key words: science teaching aids, science learning, laboratory management.

This study aims to analyze preliminary data on lecture conditions as the needs in developing science teaching aids. This research is the initial stage of research and development using the development model proposed by Plomp, namely preliminary research. Data collected by using questionnaire given to physics education students semester July-December 2017. Data analysis technique used in the form of descriptive statistical analysis.The results of this study are: 1) the available teaching materials are quite varied, 2) the assignments given in lectures can help students in understanding the material, 3) control of ideas and project work in lectures is still lacking, so students have limitations to develop their creativity, and 4)the students have considerable potential in understanding the material, but the number of students who have ideas in solving problems and who are able to correct friends' answers, and those who actively ask are still low.It can be conclude that the development science teaching aids based on project-based learning need to be done to improve student creativity.

Needs Analysis in the context of language-learning-teaching is an important process to design a certain course and syllabus. It helps course designers to set objectives, choose content, method of instruction, appropriate teaching aids, and classroom activities for different courses. This paper reports the perceptions of the researchers on the English language learning needs of the English undergraduate students of Shaheed Benazir Bhutto University Sheringal, Pakistan. The data is based on the researchers’ personal experience and first-hand observation of the population as the researchers have been teaching in the target context for about a decade. Furthermore, the researchers have always been in discussion with their students and colleagues about the target students’ English learning needs, preferred learning styles, motivation in learning English, interest, strengths/weaknesses, and attitude toward English learning in the target setting. Learners’ assignments, exam answer sheets, and presentations have also been used is a source of data collection. A needs analysis model proposed by Hutchinson and Waters (1987) has been applied in order to analyze the data. The results show that the students lack well grammatical sentences, have poor spellings, capitalization problems, limited vocabulary, unaware of collocations, poor/slow reading comprehension, and lack of effective presentation skills. Furthermore, most of the students have a lack of involvement in classroom activities and feel shy about speaking the English language. It was reported that the provision of authentic material, interesting activities, suitable audio-visual aids, relevant texts, language labs, and other logistic arrangements can better help them in learning the English language. The findings demonstrate that the students wished to have a learner-centered-course that helps them excel in their academic life and learning the English language.

Two early nineteenth century texts treating the production and use of wax models of fruit reveal the history of these objects in the context of courtly decoration. Both sources emphasise the models' decorative qualities and their suitability for display, properties which were not simply by-products of the realism that the use of wax allowed. Thus, such models were not regarded merely as visual aids for educational purposes. The artists who created them sought to entice collectors of art and natural history objects, as well as teachers and scientists. Wax models of fruits are known to have been collected and displayed as early as the seventeenth century, although only one such collection is extant. Before the early nineteenth century models of fruits made from wax or other materials (glass, marble, faience) were considered worthy of display because contemporaries attached great importance to mastery of the cultivation and grafting of fruit trees. This skill could only be demonstrated by actually showing the fruits themselves. Therefore, wax models made before the early nineteenth century may also be regarded as attempts to preserve natural products beyond the point of decay.
