ABSTRACT
Science education is a very important science to learn and discuss because it is tightly related to everyday life. The phenomena that exist in the environment are related to science, so science education is important to learn. In addition, research on science education is important. This research aimed at the analysis of bibliometric data in the field of science education by using the mapping analysis software VOSviewer. Research data is also obtained through the reference manager application. The search results from the keyword "Science education" are used as data in this research. From the search results in the 2017-2021 range, we obtained data from as many as 991 relevant published articles. The results showed that from 2017 to 2021 the number of research on science education continued to decline. A significant decrease occurred in 2019. Until now, the exact causative factor has not been found, but one of the suspected factors is the result of the deployment of Covid-19. The conditions and situations of the pandemic have resulted in researchers experiencing a decrease in the productivity of their research activities. The results of this study show how important it is to use bibliometric analysis data. This research demonstrates the score of the analysis bibliometric about providing information on how the phenomena occur. This research was meant the assist and serve as to reference for researchers undertaking as well as deciding on research topics, especially about science education. © School of Engineering, Taylor's University.
ABSTRACT
This study investigates the understanding of students with hearing impairment regarding the implementation of the COVID-19 epidemic health protocol through demonstration experiments. This study used one group pre-test and post-test design with ten students with hearing impairment in the age range of 6-22 years in Special Needs School in Payakumbuh, Indonesia. The study examined the understanding and awareness of students with hearing impairment about implementing the CoViD-19 health protocol. The explanation is given in three stages. First, intervention support by a visual theoretical explanation of the use of masks, maintaining distance through spraying trials, Last, explaining why washing should use soap periodically by mixing chemical testing between water, coconut oil, and soap. The level of understanding of students with hearing impairment assessed through surveys with Google form contains 30 questions that explore students' understanding and 15 questions about awareness of health protocol during CoViD19. The results showed that the score increased by 35.34% on awareness and 27.53% on understanding. This method impacts improving the understanding of students with hearing impairment and meaningful learning experience in learning concepts for students with hearing impairment.
ABSTRACT
This study aims to develop chemical technology learning media through the production of dishwashing soap using sign language for students with hearing impairments. This study used a six-step research method by Borg and Gall, namely needs analysis, planning, video validation, media testing, media revision, and testing the revised media. The results of this study indicate that to create audiovisual media, instrument validation is necessary. Validation of the instrument serves to verify the videos. After the videos are validated, the videos must be edited based on the experts suggestions until the videos are declared valid and ready to use. The videos are tested on eight students with hearing impairments to teach chemical technology and dishwashing soap making. The results of the main field experiments indicates that the experiments are ineffective because the tests conducted during the COVID-19 pandemic outbreak. Besides, learning for students with hearing impairments is generally conducted face-to-face and the media is accommodated by some learning aids for material delivery. © 2020, Rajarambapu Institute Of Technology.
