Abstract

Globalization cannot be detached from the processes and results of global interconnections. As one of the most remarkable products of globalization, the internet appears to have become an important part of many people’s lives. Among the youth, social media is of particular prominence. This study explores the engagement of a group of Indonesian university students aged 20 to 23—also known as the Generation Z—in using social media. The study specifically attempted to inquire into ways in which they perceive social media to impact their lives.  Questionnaire and individual interviews were used as data collection techniques. Analysis of the data pointed to a high degree of ‘addiction’ to social media use among students in general.  The students also revealed both positive and negative impacts of social media use, thus confirming the idea that social media is a double-edged sword that needs to be dealt with carefully and critically.

Abstract

Critical thinking (CT) has generally been known as one of the core competencies of the 21st-century skills that students need to acquire to succeed in today’s world. To attain this goal, teachers undoubtedly have a critical role to play. Involving a group of Indonesian teachers of English, this study aims to explore the teachers’ initial conceptions of critical thinking as reflected in their planned classroom activities. Specifically, the data collected were in the form of written instructional activities that  used literary works as learning materials. These data were obtained following the teachers’ participation in an online workshop on promoting critical thinking through literature  held for English teachers from MGMP (i.e., English Teachers Working Group) in Bandung Regency. The workshop introduced a model of teaching critical thinking skills using literary works  and required the teachers to design their own instructional activities based on the proposed CT model. Adopting content analysis as the methodological tool to scrutinize the teachers’ prepared materials,  our initial findings indicate that, in general, the teachers had inadequate knowledge of how to incorporate  critical thinking skills into their teaching. Literature was seen merely as a tool to develop students’ linguistic abilities rather than as a way to explore humans’ experiences and to connect ‘the word and the world’. This study recommends that the teachers be given more time to better explore the concepts surrounding  critical literacy  pedagogy  as well as be given more opportunities  for practical application of the promoted instructional model.

Abstract

Kehadiran buku teks multimoda merupakan suatu keniscayaan dalam proses belajar mengajar saat ini. Oleh karena itu, kemahiran guru dalam menguasai pembacaan terhadap buku teks tersebut menjadi sangat vital demi mengoptimalkan pengajaran dan pembelajaran di kelas. Pengetahuan dan keterampilan inilah yang dibangun dan dilatih bagi dua puluh guru penggerak, yang merupakan guru bahasa Inggris pada jenjang Sekolah Menengah Pertama, di wilayah Bali. Untuk mengidentifikasi pengetahuan dan pemahaman guru-guru terhadap konsep teks multimoda digunakan kuesioner sebelum pelatihan dimulai dan dilakukan evaluasi, dalam bentuk tes, setelah kegiatan berakhir. Moda pelatihan PkM ini bersifat hibrida, yang menggabungkan pelatihan tatap muka kepada para guru di awal pertemuan, dan diikuti oleh serangkain pelatihan tatap maya, serta diakhiri dengan penugasan yang bersifat project-based. Dengan adanya pelatihan yang diberikan, diharapkan guru penggerak di wilayah Bali dapat memaknai teks multimoda dengan benar dan mengajarkannya dengan menarik kepada para siswa.
