PBHL is a learning model that combines PBL with hybrid learning. This study aims to 1) determine the effect of the PBHL model on spatial thinking ability and 2) determine the effect of the PBHL model on geography learning outcomes. This study uses a quasi-experimental design of the pretest-posttest control group. The research subjects were students of the Social Sciences Education Program, Uni-versitas Islam Negeri Maulana Malik Ibrahim Malang, Indonesia. The selection of research subjects uses purposive sampling and obtained the experimental class (32 students) and the control class (28 students). This study uses the instrument of spatial thinking ability adopted from Huynh and Sharpe in the form of multiple choice tests and the instrument of learning outcomes assessment in the form of essay tests. Data were analyzed with an independent sample t-test which was previously tested for normality and homogeneity prerequisites. The results of the study concluded that 1) the PBHL model had a significant effect on spatial think-ing ability and 2) the PBHL model had a significant effect on geography learning outcomes. The average gain score of spatial thinking ability and geography learn-ing outcomes in the experimental class is higher than the control class. Sugges-tions for further research with different subjects and variables, integrated e-learning application should be used to make the planning and implementation of PBHL learning easier and more successful.

Dusun Kedampul Desa Duwet memiliki potensi alam bambu yang melimpah. Sampai saat ini pemanfaatan bambu belum maksimal baik dari segi kuantitas dan kualitas padahal bambu dapat dijadikan berbagai kerajinan anyaman maupun non anyaman. Berdasarkan hal tersebut maka dipilihlah Dusun Kedampul Desa Duwet sebagai lokasi untuk melaksanakan Pengabdian Kepada Masyarakat (PKM). Kegiatan PKM yang dilaksanakan berupa pelatihan, dengan tahapan sebagai berikut: (1) tahap persiapan, (2) tahap pelaksanaan proses dan (3) tahap pemandirian. Pelaksanaan kegiatan Pengabdian kepada Masyarakat ini dilaksanakan pada bulan Januari – November 2018 yaitu berupa kegiatan: pendidikan dan pelatihan kerajinan anyaman berbahan baku bambu. Beberapa manfaat praktis yang diharapkan dari pelaksanaan PKM, yaitu: (1) mereka mendapatkan informasi yang jelas dan utuh mengenai hakekat pemberdayaan masyarakat dari segi pengetahuan dan keterampilan, bermakna untuk penciptaan lapangan pekerjaan baru yang sifatnya inovatif dari kerajinan anyaman bambu; (2) masyarakat yang menjadi peserta pelatihan memperoleh gambaran yang jelas mengenai langkah pengembangan iklim usaha dengan memanfaatkan komoditas lokal; (3) peserta pelatihan juga mendapatkan gambaran yang jelas dan utuh tentang manfaat hasil komoditi lokal apabila dikelola dengan baik akan mendatangkan nilai finansial.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.17977/um032v2i12019p036

Fertility is a primary determinant of population growth rate. Theoretically, child marriage families have a higher chance of fertility. Accordingly, this study aims to comprehend the interpretation of fertility among the family from child marriage. The interpretation of fertility was observed in depth using phenomenology (causal motives) through data collection and analysis. The research participants were married women who had children or were 16 years old or younger and did not yet have a child. The analysis results indicate that child marriage families interpret fertility as a burden, marriage reinforcement, and investment. The families from child marriage are motivated to have fewer children and space them out in terms of age. It is important to note that no child-free doctrine was discovered, as it goes against Islamic principles. Additionally, having children is believed to improve marital relations within the child marriage community on Bawean Island. Children are often viewed as an economic investment and a guarantee for future parental care. Child marriage on Bawean Island did not have a discernible impact on the population growth rate.

The purpose of the study is to describe the implementation of geographic literacy in order to improve natural disaster mitigation and adaptation of the students. The study is Classroom Action Research (CAR) carried out in 2 (two) cycles; each cycle consisted of 2 (two) meetings. Each meeting consisted of planning, implementation, observation and reflection. The sources of data were the students’ learning outcome, portfolios, and scrapbooks about disaster mitigation and adaptation. The data were analyzed and evaluated. The findings showed that there was significant increase in the students’ natural disaster preparedness. Portfolio caused 6.72% increase while scrapbooks caused 3.44% increase in the students’ natural disaster preparedness. It is expected that teachers use the findings of the study as reference to develop students’ awareness towards natural disaster. DOI: 10.5901/mjss.2016.v7n6p333

This study aims to examine the strategies and actions of the people of Bawean Island in meeting food needs during the COVID-19 pandemic by using Max Weber’s theory of action. Extracting information was carried out using participatory observation techniques and in-depth interviews and was supported by documentation and analysis using inductive use. The results showed that there were two strategies and actions, namely: saving on food needs and limiting household expenses. Saving on food needs is done by changing the consumption pattern of side dishes. People are looking for replacement side dishes, for example; People who are accustomed to consuming fresh sea fish for a week in a row, have started to replace them with tofu, tempeh and rencek fish. The savings were made because during the pandemic, the traffic flow from Bawean Island to Java (Gresik) was not smooth, causing foodstuffs to increase in price and scarcity. Restrictions on household expenditure are carried out by reducing household spending and only focusing on spending on food, health, electricity and fuel oil needs. These two strategies can save household food and shopping needs, before the pandemic it was usually IDR 150,000 to IDR 70,000-80,000 per day. Furthermore, the actions taken by the people of Bawean Island, namely continuing to work at the main job and working side jobs to increase income. People who choose to keep working in the main job feel that they cannot do anything other than survive in this job, this is done by many furniture traders and entrepreneurs who in the end, because there are no customers, are forced to use their savings for their daily needs. People who choose to work side-by-side are more based because they do not have savings funds and have to increase their income, the people who work a lot on the side in this research are the fishermen.

Merariq is a wedding tradition in Indonesia that originated from the Sasak Tribe. This study aimed to explore the strategy for preserving the Merariq tradition within the Sasak Tribe community. This research employed qualitative phenomenological design as a constructive approach. Data gathering methodologies included comprehensive interviews, observational studies, and surveys. The research site was Suela sub-district, East Lombok Regency, Indonesia, with 24 informants, including traditional leaders, community leaders, and residents of East Lombok. Data analysis followed the model of Miles and Huberman, which consists of data collection, data reduction, and conclusion drawing. The data were then tested through triangulation. This study revealed that the Merariq tradition is still practiced and preserved by the people of East Lombok. The strategies used in preserving this tradition include habituation, socialization, deliberation, and education. This strategy is valuable as a source of inspiration for other cultural preservation efforts in various communities around the world.
