Nowadays, English has become one of the subjects that must be mastered. Thus, English learning should be done from an early age. This research aimed to describe how Total Physical Response (TPR) method can improve English vocabulary achievement in 5-6 years old children. TPR is the language learning approach which stimulates the children in acquiring their mother language which implemented in teaching foreign languages. The samples of this research were 5-6 years students of TK (Kindergarten) An-Nisa, Rokan Hilir, Riau Province, Indonesia with the total samples 15 students. This research used qualitative research. The data was analyzed by using descriptive statistics, analyzing the scores of English vocabularies. The results showed that noun categories had the highest percentage in vocabulary acquisition (97.78 %), then followed by verbs (86.67 %) and adjectives (62.22 %). Meanwhile, the percentages of vocabularies that used by children were verbs (24.44 %), nouns (11.11 %), while the children were still not capable in using adjectives (0 %). The results of this research is expected to contribute to the development of  English learning for young learners.

Abstrak: Penelitian ini bertujuan mengetahui seberapa jauh pengembangan kreativitas keterampilan proses sains dalam aspek kehidupan organisme melalui IPA di SD di DIY. Pengumpulan data melalui survei dengan teknik sampel gugus setelah ditetapkan Unit Pelaksana Teknis (UPT) Dinas Pendidikan yang mewakili wilayah perkotaan dan pinggiran. Hasil survei terhadap 400 guru kelas IV dan V serta 1200 grup peserta didik dari 10 UPT di lima kabupaten/kota di DIY menunjukkan hampir semua guru menyatakan pentingnya pembelajaran untuk mengembangkan kreativitas keterampilan proses sains dalam aspek kehidupan kepada peserta didik. Mereka hampir tidak pernah atau jarang membelajarkannya tanpa disertai pemberian contoh. Umumnya mereka sering melakukannya dengan disertai pemberian contoh. Tidak ada guru yang melaporkan pernah mengikuti diklat pengembangan kreativitas.Kata Kunci: kreativitas, keterampilan proses sains, pembelajaran, aktivitas kehidupan DEVELOPING CREATIVITY OF THE SCIENCE PROCESS SKILL IN THE ORGANISM LIFE ASPECT IN THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL SCIENCEAbstract: This research is aimed to know how far the development of creativity of science process skills in the life aspect through the science subject in elementary schools in DIY. The data were collected through a survey by employing a group sampling technique after the areas had been determined by the Unit Pelaksana Teknis (UPT) of the education office which represented the city and suburb areas. The results of the survey which involved 400 elementary school teachers of grades IV and V as well as 1200 students from 10 UPT of 5 different regencies/municipalities in DIY show that almost all teachers stated the importance of developing creativity of the science process skill in the life aspect for the students. They hardly ever or seldom taught without giving examples. They often taught by giving examples. There was no teacher who stated that they had ever joined a training to develop the students' creativity.

Penelitian ini dilakukan untuk mengetahui hubungan penguasaan nahwu dan sharaf di pesantren Riyadhul Huda dan kemampuan membaca kitab kuning dan untuk memberikan masukan baru kepada semua pihak yang berkecimpung didalam dunia pengajaran dan pembelajaran bahasa Arab umumnya dan khususnya siswa kelas Alfiyah di pesantren Riyadhul Huda sendiri sebagai tempat dilakukannya penelitian ini. Penelitian ini termasuk ke dalam penelitian kuantitatif menggunakan tes. Pengumpulan sampel dilakukan melalui teknik total sampling. Analisis data dilakukan dengan korelasioner terhadap data yang telah dikumpulkan. Data tersebut terdiri atas variabel bebas, yakni penguasaan teori nahwu dan sharaf, dan variabel terikat yakni kemampuan membaca kitab kuning siswa kelas alfiyah. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa kemampuan penguasaan teori nahwu sharaf siswa berpengaruh 76,1% terhadap kemampuan membaca kitab. Diperkirakan masih ada 23,9% dipengaruhi faktor lain yang mempengaruhinya. Misalnya motivasi, metode dan model pembelajaran yang dibawakan oleh guru dalam mengajar, intensitas siswa dalam belajar dan pengaruh yang lainnya. Selain itu, data tersebut dinyatakan ada korelasi karena diketahui bahwa nilai p = 0,000 < 0,05

A tray dryer using source of energy from biomass and solar was developed to dry sorghum crackers. In this dryer, solar dryer was combined with a heating system of drying air through pipes above the furnace while cooking sorghum stem's juice. This research investigated drying characteristics of sorghum crackers using the dryer in various drying air velocities. This drying air velocity was conducted at 0.0176; 0.0194 and 0.0272m 3 /s. The higher drying air velocity blown into the dryer through pipes above the furnace, the lower temperature of drying air. There is a little different of drying air and crackers temperature in each tray. Sorghum crackers were dried from 186.78% d.b. to approximately 13.88% d.b. The mechanism of drying consists of constant rate period and falling rate period. The constant value during constant rate period in each drying air velocity was 0.0109; 0.0102 and 0.0098%/s while during falling rate period velocity was 0.0085; 0.0089 and 0.0085%/s. The drying air velocity affected constant value during constant period significantly. These models were valid to predict moisture content during drying and describe the drying process in the dryer.
