Peningkatan Kompetensi Guru SD No.1 Kesiut Tabanan Melalui Pelatihan Media Pembelajaran

Media pembelajaran merupakan bagian yang sangat penting dalam dunia pendidikan khususnya bagi guru. Salah satunya adalah overhead projector (OHP) yang merupakan alat bantu yang banyak digunakan dengan Ms. PowerPoint sebagai perangkat lunaknya. Dengan cara ini guru akan dapat lebih mudah memberikan materi pelajaran kepada siswa. Namun tidak semua guru dapat mengoperasikan OHP dan membuat presentasi menggunakan Ms. PowerPoint, termasuk guru-guru di SDN 1 Kesiut. Untuk itu melalui program pengabdian kepada masyarakat, guru-guru tersebut diberikan pelatihan penggunaan OHP dan pembuatan slide PowerPoint yang efektif. Hasilnya adalah adanya peningkatan pengetahuan (mean normalized gain) rata-rata para guru sebesar 74% dengan rata-rata pemahaman materi pelatihan sebesar 8,33 dari nilai maksimum 10. Jadi setelah mengikuti pelatihan ini, pengetahuan para guru bertambah secara nyata.

Then: Transparency in My Mathematics Classroom

Transparencies were commonplace in the 1980s when the first NCTM Standards were released. This article reflects on how the use of an overhead projector and transparencies helped to enact the Process Standards - and make the real purpose of learning mathematics more transparent to students.

Overhead Projector as a mediating technology of organization

This chapter describes how the overhead projector develops into a projection tool which first experiences broad cultural acceptance through its use in schools. In the 1960s and 1970s, the first theories of Computer Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW) emerged, promising increased productivity and innovation through research organization in small, interdisciplinary teams. The overhead projector then was regarded as a medium that reinforces interactivity and collective thinking in such small groups via dynamic transparencies, explicitly separated from 35mm slide projection as a medium of organization of a passive crowd of isolated spectators. In the course of digitalization, this idea of organization then turns into its opposite: PowerPoint, originally developed for the production of transparencies for overhead projectors, became a presentation tool through the coupling with projectors, which organizes a passive crowd of spectators in front of static slides like the 35mm slide projection before. A large part of PowerPoint’s epistemological criticism today stems from this form of medial organization.

Teaching Antonyms to Arabic-Speaking EFL Learners

This study investigates the impact of different teaching techniques, e.g. projecting pictures using an overhead projector and the traditional way of teaching, in improving Arabic-speaking EFL learners’ production of antonyms in English. A production test was administered, including 20 pairs of antonyms, to assess the students’ knowledge of English antonyms before the instructional intervention. To this end, 40 grade six students were divided into two groups: treatment and control. After the instructional intervention, a Pictionary Test was implemented, including 10 pairs of antonyms as post-test to determine if projecting pictures via an overhead projector can be an effective technique in increasing students’ production of English antonyms. The results showed that the number of accurate answers provided by the treatment group (who were taught using pictures via overhead projector) was higher than that provided by the control group (who were taught via the traditional method). This suggests that the former teaching technique may have played an important role in their performance on the test. It can be concluded that teaching via overhead projector with pictures seems to be an effective instructional intervention in teaching English antonyms.

Impact of PowerPoint and Chalkboard in Physiotherapy Undergraduates.

Background: A teacher’s basic tool for displaying lectures are through blackboards, pegboards, bulletin boards, transparencies with an overhead projector (TOHP), PowerPoint presentation and walk and talk. Nowadays PowerPoint presentation is commonly used as it has ability to present the information in a clear, organized and simpler manner. The present study was carried out to find out the best method of teaching amongst the undergraduate Physiotherapy students. Objective: To compare the impact of the PowerPoint multimedia presentation and chalkboard in teaching by assessing the knowledge based on the marks obtained in the pretest and posttest. Methodology: 40 students were divided into two groups and a selected content-based lecture in pharmacology was delivered. For one group lecture was delivered using PowerPoint presentation, for second group using Chalkboard. Single - best Multiple Choice Questions [MCQs] paper was used for assessing the knowledge gained. The differences in the marks obtained in the two groups were analyzed Results: Students who attended the class on chalkboard obtained significantly higher score in single best MCQ examination compared to those students who attended the same content based lecture on the PowerPoint. Conclusion: The chalkboard method of teaching was found more suitable tool of teaching and learning than PowerPoint for small group.

Perception of Parents Towards Matriculation Schools in Sivakasi

According to the changes in parents attitude towards the school are following different types of syllabuses, namely, State board, CBSE, Matriculation and Delhi board.
