Abstract

Research on Diagnostic Assessment (DA) in remote schools in Indonesia is essential, as education in these areas has been a focus of the government attention for several decades and continues for future. This study provides an overview of teachers' readiness in implementing DA, particularly regarding their efficacy and self-perceptions. This study aims to describe teachers' confidence in conducting DA and their perceptions of its benefits for learning. Data were collected from 35 teachers with varying employment statuses and teaching experience using a questionnaire with linear-scale responses. The questionnaire measured efficacy across four aspects using twelve statements and perceptions across three aspects using nine statements. The questionnaire was distributed online via Google Forms. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and presented in frequency tables. The findings reveal that teachers in remote schools have a high level of confidence in their ability to implement DA, adapted to the conditions of underdeveloped areas. Teachers perceive DA as fundamentally effective in transforming learning conditions, although it has not yet provided optimal benefits in various related aspects. Its implementation is also considered to be insufficiently intensive. It is concluded that teachers in remote schools are capable of implementing DA and are concerned about the current suboptimal execution of DA. The findings of this study suggest that while teachers in remote areas are confident in their ability to implement DA, further support and resources are necessary to optimize its use. Enhancing training programs and increasing the intensity of DA application could contribute to more effective teaching and learning outcomes, especially in under-resourced and geographically isolated settings

Abstract

Song lyrics are a way for songwriters to share their feelings, experiences, and messages. To do this indirectly, they often use figurative language to make the emotions deeper. This study aims to identify the types of figurative language used in Adel Tawil’s songs and explain what they mean. The research uses a descriptive qualitative method, focusing on three songs: Ist da jemand, Mein Leben ohne mich, and So schön anders. The data were collected by listening to the songs and taking notes, then analyzed using the Miles and Huberman model. The results show four types of figurative language: metaphor, symbol, personification, and comparison. Metaphor is the most used (21 data), followed by symbols and comparisons (3 data each), and personification (1 data). This shows that Adel Tawil likes to use metaphors to turn abstract feelings into concrete words so they are easier for listeners to understand. This study is expected to help in literary analysis and German language learning.
