The main problem in learning in formal education (schools) today is the low quality of student learning. One of the factors is the teacher's ability to manage, develop methods and select learning media. In this case the researcher tried to use the mind map method with comic media. This study aims to determine the effect of the mind map method with comic media on reading interest and cognitive learning outcomes of class VIII students in biology science subjects at SMPN 10 Mataram. This type of research is a quasi-experimental. The population in this study were all eighth grade students of SMPN 10 Mataram. This sample was taken using a simple random sampling technique, namely class VIII F as the experimental class and class VIII G as the control class. Data collection in this study was taken by giving pre-test and post-test to the sample class students. Data collection techniques using a reading interest questionnaire and objective tests that have been tested for validity and reliability. Based on the results of the study showed that the students' reading interest obtained an average of 60.54 for the experimental class with a percentage of 75.67%, while the control class was 51.79 with a percentage of 64.74% which indicated that students were included in the interested category, indicating that the reading interest of students who using the mind map method with comic media is higher than the reading interest of students who use conventional methods. Based on the results of the study, it was shown that the pre-test data obtained an average value of 51.03 for the experimental class and 51.55 for the control class. The post-test results showed an average of 77.93 for the experimental class and 68.96 for the control group. The post-test data of the sample class students were analyzed using t-test. Based on the results of data analysis using t-test obtained t count > t table, which is 4.33 > 2.00 at an error level of 5%. This indicates that the mind map method with comic media has an effect on cognitive learning outcomes for class VIII students in biology science subjects. at SMPN 10 Mataram.

This type of research is comparative descriptive and development research. The results showed that there were 4 species of mangroves found in sandy and muddy substrates, namely: 1) Rhizophora apiculata; 2) Rhizophora mucronata; 3) Avicennia alba; and 4) Sonneratia alba. The abundance of mangrove plants on sandy substrate is Sonneratia alba as many as 215 species. Meanwhile, the muddy substrate was Rhizhophora mucronata with 182 species. Mangrove diversity is low, with the diversity index value in the sandy substrate of 0.023 - 0.612 and in the muddy substrate 0.138 - 0.433. The closeness of mangroves is also classified as low with a range of closeness index values ​​in the sandy substrate from 0.005 to 0.153 and in the muddy substrate from 0.034 to 0.108. For species dominance, it is only found in sandy substrates, namely Sonneratia alba species which are classified into moderate dominance. As for the validation results of teaching materials in the form of an ecology module, based on the results of the validation of teaching materials experts and validation of content and material experts, the results were 87.55% with very good qualifications. With the results of the validation, the teaching material in the form of an ecology module is suitable for use without revision.

Pantai Jeranjang merupakan salah satu pantai yang terletak di Desa Taman Ayu Kabupaten Lombok Barat yang sebagian besar masyarakatnya memiliki mata pencaharian sebagai nelayan. Di Pantai Jeranjang terdapat Pembangkit Listrik Tenaga Uap, dimana bahan pembangkitnya berupa batubara, adanya PLTU mengakibatkan kondisi ekosistem perairan yang ada di Pantai Jeranjang menjadi tercemar oleh adanya limbah batubara, karena limbah batubara tersebut membuat kualitas perairan Pantai Jeranjang menjadi tercemar terutama keanekaragaman plankton. Plankton adalah suatu organisme hidup yang berasal dari sisa-sisa hewan dan tumbuhan yang ukurannya sangat kecil dengan kemampuan renang terbatas sehingga banyak ditemukan dalam keadaan mengambang atau mengapung dan mudah terbawa arus. Plankton terbagi menjadi dua kelompok besar yaitu fitoplankton (tumbuhan) dan zooplankton (hewan). Atas dasar ini dilakukan penelitian dengan tujuan untuk mengetahui keanekaragaman plankton sebagai bioindikator kualitas air laut di Pantai Jeranjang. Jenis penelitian ini adalah deskriptif eksploratif dan penelitian pengembangan. Pengambilan sampel plankton diambil pada tiga stasiun, yang masing-masing stasiun diambil pada tiga titik (plot) yang dilakukan pada siang hari, dengan cara menyaring 50 L air laut menggunakan plankton net. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian diperoleh 21 spesies dari empat kelas yaitu, Bacillariophyceae, Dynophyceae, Haptophyceae, dan Crutaceae. Hasil dari penelitian ini kemudian disusun ke dalam bentuk modul untuk dijadikan sebagai sumber informasi kepada mahasiswa Pendidikan Biologi, FSTT, UNDIKMA Mataram khususnya dan masyarakat pada umumnya.

Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mendeskripsikan penerapan asesmen kinerja dalam meningkatkan keterampilan proses sains dan hasil belajar kognitif siswa kelas VII MTs Darul Hikmah Darek. Subjek penelitian ini adalah 20 siswa kelas VII MTs Darul Hikmah Darek. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian tindakan kelas (PTK) dengan menggunakan dua siklus. Data keterampilan proses sains dikumpulkan menggunakan instrument lembar observasi, sedangkan hasil belajar kognitif siswa dikumpulkan menggunakan instrument tes dengan 20 item soal. Keterlaksanaan pembelajaran juga diukur dalam penelitian ini menggunakan lembar observasi keterlaksanaan (RPP). Data penelitianian dianalisis secara deskriptif. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan (1) keterlaksanaan RPP pada siklus I mencapai 68% dengan kategori baik, sedangkan pada siklus II mencapai 100% dengan kategori sangat baik; (2) keterampilan proses sains pada siklus I mencapai 55% dengan kategori cukup tinggi, dan pada siklus II mencapai 75% dengan kategori tinggi; dan (3) skor rata-rata hasil belajar kognitif siswa pada siklus I mencapai 66 dengan ketuntasan klasikal sebesar 40%, sedangkan siklus II mencapai 77 dengan ketuntasan klasikal sebesar 90%. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian dapat disimpulkan bahwa penerapan asesmen kinerja dapat meningkatkan keterampilan proses sains dan hasil belajar kognitif siswa pada kelas VII MTs Darul Hikmah Darek. The Implementation of Performance Assessment in Biology Practicum Activities to Improve Students' Science Process Skills and Cognitive Learning Outcomes Abstract The purpose of this study was to describe the implementation of performance assessment in improving science process skills and cognitive learning outcomes of seventh grade students of MTs Darul Hikmah Darek. The subjects of this study were 20 grade VII students of MTs Darul Hikmah Darek. This research is a classroom action research (CAR) using two cycles. Science process skills data were collected using an observation sheet instrument, while students' cognitive learning outcomes were collected using a test instrument with 20 items of questions. The implementation of learning was also measured in this study using the implementation observation sheet (RPP). The researcch data were analyzed descriptively. The results showed (1) the implementation of the lesson plans in the first cycle reached 68% in the good category, while in the second cycle it reached 100% in the very good category; (2) science process skills in the first cycle reached 55% in the fairly high category, and in the second cycle it reached 75% in the high category; and (3) the average score of students' cognitive learning outcomes in the first cycle reached 66 with classical completeness of 40%, while the second cycle reached 77 with classical completeness of 90%. Based on the results of the study, it can be concluded that the implementation of performance assessments can improve science process skills and cognitive learning outcomes of students in class VII MTs Darul Hikmah Darek.
