Abstrak: Penelitian ini menggambarkan efektifitas pembelajaran berbasis daring terhadap kemampuan mahasiswa dalam memahami teks berbahasa Inggris. Pembelajaran daring yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah pembelajaran yang memanfaatkan penggunaan web blog. Paparan pada artikel ini adalah bagian dari laporan penelitian tindakan kelas yang fokus utamanya adalah melihat efektivitas pembelajaran berbasis daring yang ditinjau dari dua pendekatan, yaitu perbandingan distribusi data dan uji-t pada data sebelum tindakan (pretest) dan setalah tindakan (posttest). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa ada perbedaan kemampuan pemahaman mahasiswa terhadap teks berbahasa Inggris antara sebelum dan sesudah penggunaan web blog. Dalam hal ini, pembelajaran daring berbantuan web blog tersebut memberikan pengaruh positif terhadap peningkatan kemampuan membaca bahasa Inggris mahasiswa. Abstract: This study describes the effectiveness of online-based learning on the students’ ability to understand English-language texts. The online learning used in this study is learning that utilizes the use of web blogs. This article is a part of the report of a classroom action research which focuses on identifying the effectiveness of the online-based learning viewed from two approaches, namely the comparison of data distribution and t-test on the data before the treatments (pretest) and after the treatments (posttest). The results of the study show that there are differences in students' ability to understand English texts before and after the use of the web blogs. In this case, online learning assisted by the web blog has a positive influence on improving students' English reading skills.

Abstrak:Pembelajaran dapat berjalan efektif jika seluruh komponen yang berpengaruh Abstract:Learning can work effectively if all the influential components support each other to achieve the learning objectives. To facilitate teaching and learning activities, especially in learning Islamic Religious Learning (PAI) teachers should prepare teaching materials to facilitate students understand learning materials. Therefore, it is necessary to develop an appropriate learning media. One of them is Augmented Reality (3D) based media. Augmented Reality (3D) is a real-world application of integration with the virtual world in the form of two-dimensional and three-dimensional projected in a real environment at the same time. The purpose of using Augmented Reality technology in PAI learning model is expected to assist the teacher in the learning process and also increase the students' interest in joining the learning process. The method used in this study is the research and development method designed by Walter Dick and Lou Carey to produce a particular product. The result of the research is an Augmented Reality application that can run inside android smartphone.

Information on the variability and correlation between agronomic characters of mungbean accessions with their yield are important for supporting breeding program of the plant. A total of 350 mungbean accessions were evaluated at Muara Experimental Farm, Indonesian Center for Food Crops Research and Development, Bogor, during the dry season of 2005. The experiment was conducted in a completely randomized block design with three replications. Each accession was planted in two rows of 5 m long. Plant spacing was 40 cm x 20 cm, two plants per hill. Correlation and path coefficient analyses were used to quantify<br />the magnitude of the relationship between yield components and grain yield. The variability among the accessions was significant for most of the characters studied, especially for days to maturity, plant height, pods per plant, and seed size. Among the yield components, the number of pods per plant and plant height positively correlated with the grain yield, but the<br />seed size negatively correlated with grain yield. The direct effects of the number of pods per plant and plant height on seed yield as indicated by path coefficient were the highest, while other causal effects were small or negative. Yield variation (1- R2) attributable to the nine yield component variables was slightly high (61.23%), which means that mungbean accessions with high grain yield should have sufficient plant height and high number of pods per plant. Therefore, these parameters (number of pods per plant and plant height) can be used as the selection criteria in mungbean breeding program. These criteria can be visualized during bulk selection on the early generation stage of F2 to F4, and subsequently on line development of individual plant (pedigree) of F5.
