This study aims to standardize science process skills (SPS) instruments in microbiology labs. This Type research is quantitative descriptive, which focuses on standardizing instruments. The research subjects were students of the Biology Education Department of FMIPA Universitas Negeri Gorontalo who programed microbiology courses. Validation was carried out by three experts. The results showed that the value of validity was 4.95 in aspects of the assessment of items on SPS and 4.85 in aspects of language ass essment. The results of measurements on science process skills of students have obtained an average of 3.00 in trials I and 3.37 in trial II. The reliability of the instrument in the first trial was 0.81 and in the second trial was 0.82. The results of the research obtained indicate that KPS skill instruments are valid and reliable. The instrument can be used to measure student science process skills, especially in microbiology courses. Future research can compile PPP instruments in other subjects.

This study aims to produce learning tools using the guided inquiry model which is reasonable to reduce misconception in students’ class XII for solving problems ability on the cell division concept. This development research refers to Borg and Gall development which was modified. The collected data were analyzed qualitatively and quantitatively. Validity data using content validity ratio formula by Lickert Scale. Data of learning feasibility, students’ activities, and student responses conducted on observations. Data obtained from pre and posttest which are used to assess student learning outcomes, were analyzed using the normalized gain formula. The results of the study showed that learning tools (lesson plan and worksheet) are developed showed on minimum valid criteria. Practicality aspect of developed learning tools show good criteria was observed from the learning feasibility, students’ activities and responses. The effectiveness aspect showed high criteria based on N-gain was observed from students’ learning outcomes. This result shows that learning tools are developed qualify on validity, practicality, and effectiveness aspect and can use to measure learning quality to reduce students’ mistake in solving problems ability in the concept of cell division.

Entomopatogen merupakan salah satu agen hayati yang menginfeksi serangga serta dapat merusak sistem metabolisme tubuh serangga. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui aktivitas entomopatogen S. marcescens terhadap mortalitas larva kumbang kelapa (B. longissima) Gestro, dan waktu yang dibutuhkan untuk mencapai LT50. Metode yang digunakan adalah metode eksperimen dengan 6 perlakuan pemberian S.marcescens dengan volume bervariasi, terdiri dari A (akuades sebagai kontrol), B (5 ml), C (7,5 ml), D (10 ml), E (12,5 ml), dan F (15 ml) dengan 4 ulangan. Data dianalisis menggunakan uji ANAVA dan Probit LT50. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa volume S.marcescens berpengaruh terhadap mortalitas larva kumbang kelapa B. longissimiGestro. Mortalitas larva B. longissima tertinggi ditunjukkan oleh pemberian 12,5 ml S. marcescens yaitu sebesar 78%, sedangkan LT50 yaitu 42,5 jam pada perlakuan F. S.marcescens memiliki aktivitas entomopatogen pada larva kumbang kelapa (B. longissima) Gestro.

Processing industry contribution in each commodity can add value for forward linkages and backward linkages. The economic condition of Gorontalo province is as follow: contribution of regional GDP in education service is 9%, financial and insurance services’ contribution is 8%, and agricultural sector’s contribution is 4%. This shows an economic growth anomaly, where the agricultural sector as a leading sector has yet significantly contributed toward the gross regional domestic product of Gorontalo province. Our gross regional domestic product per capita is only IDR. 9,544,583 with 17.30% of poor population workforce productivity are in the 30th rank. Maize is a commodity potential to be developed into various derivative products with high economic value. This is study expected to contribute to the local government in increasing the competitive advantages and economic motor for the community in the region, as well as contribute to the private sector in developing various derivative products from maize commodity. This study uses quantitative descriptive method which constitute of desk study and secondary data analysis, workshop, and meeting with related stakeholders, development of study design for value chain actors, presentation, and result discussion to formulate the master plan and development model for various maize commodity products.

The purpose of this study was: 1) Knowing the perception of small and medium enterprises industry players in Gorontalo Province. 2) Analyzing the Effect of perception or interest in the development of products cornflakes in Gorontalo Province. The research was conducted in two (2) District of Gorontalo and Pohuwato. The study begins from April to June 2019 with a sample of 54 people. The results showed those perceptions or interest through institutional aspects IKM / Industrial RT, the introduction and training of IKM / Industrial RT, and the capacity of SMEs / Industrial RT towards the development of chips and corn waste products on the recapitulation are in both categories with a percentage value 80 percent. Based on calculations that have been done by using multiple linear regression analysis was obtained that perception or interest simultaneously significant effect on the increase in the development of chips and corn waste products in Gorontalo Province. While partially the positive and significant impact that institutional IKM / Industrial RT, the introduction and training of IKM / Industrial RT and the capacity of SMEs / Industrial RT towards the development of chips and corn waste products in Gorontalo Province.
