Abstract
One of the characteristics of the Department of Mathematics and Science Education, Faculty of Education and Teacher Training, Universitas Terbuka Indonesia, is the need of laboratory activities for some courses offered to students. Regular universities or universities with face to face interaction have no problems regarding this. But, laboratory activities for students of Universities Terbuka using distance education face many problems. Since the year of 2002, Department of Mathematics and Science Education has been trying to implement networking models for laboratory activities for their students. Ten regional offices were used as pilot project for the implementation of the networking models for laboratory activities. Study showed that there were many problem occurred in the implementation of the networking models, such as: 1) some students especially who live in remote areas find it difficult to locate laboratory that fit the criteria of good laboratory; 2) the number of students among regional offices (UPBJJ-UT) vary; 3) the amount of money spent by students to conduct laboratory tend to be a lot; 4) lack of coordination among regional offices, UT center, and host universities which have laboratories. The networking models for laboratory activities have been developed by promoting regional offices as a center of laboratory activities. This means regional offices control coordination among students, host institutions, and UT central offices. This article also discussed the characteristic of modules for laboratory activities of the Departments of Mathematics and Science Education, components of networking of laboratory activities, and problems in implementing networking models of laboratory activities and how to solve them.
