Abstract

Students at Public Elementary School 03 Ujung-Ujung Pabelan learned English only in extracurricular activities, where grade 4 and grade 5 were joined in one class. The learning was done by memorizing vocabulary and learning the structure of English grammar. During extracurricular activities, students were not introduced to HOTS-based storytelling, they only learned English vocabulary and structures. Based on this explanation, students needed HOTS skills in learning English so that they can stimulate critical thinking skills in responding to reading and other English language materials.

The results show that the student’s HOTS in learning to read English stories, retelling what they had read, and increasing the students' critical thinking patterns. The students become motivated to retell story in English and the students improve their critical thinking patterns.

Abstract

Several teachers in SMP, SMA, and SMK Muhammadiyah in Central Java have not implemented Lesson Study for Teacher Professional Development, especially in SMP Muhammadiyah 1 Cilacap, SMK Muhammadiyah Bumiayu, SMK Muhammadiyah Boja, SMK Muhammadiyah Pekalongan, and SMA Muhammadiyah Wonosobo. The implementation has two objectives, such as to analyze and assess teacher professional development via lesson study in six Muhammadiyah schools. This implementation employed descriptive quantitative and lesson study methodologies to examine the process of implementing lesson study through training models, brainstorming, and group discussions and to measure the improvement of instructors’ viewpoints before and after professional development. The performance results show that teachers actively discussed and collaborated to improve the learning process, from lesson design to open class. The teacher’s perspective questionnaire in their professional development fell into the excellent category, with an average category level above three as the results increased compared to the pre-result before implementation, category level two. All in all, teachers should be more innovative and imaginative to improve their professionalism.

Abstract

The impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on the education system has altered from face-to-face learning to online learning. The sudden pandemic made teachers underprepared either psychologically or pedagogically to teach online learning. Many teachers often faced psychological pressure while preparing for online teaching due to the lack of digital literacy. Teachers now have to overcome pressures for understanding digital literacy. Teachers have issues with: 1) the lack of digital literacy mastery and/or the utilization of digital learning platforms, and 2) the lack of teachers’ ability in creating meaningful learning through the use of digital technology and/or interactive multimedia. By providing the 33 teachers with support and training in digital literacy, those issues could be resolved. The assistance is focused on how to use digital learning platforms and produce android learning and interactive multimedia videos to support the learning process in the classroom. The findings showed that teachers are becoming more knowledgeable about digital literacy, particularly as it relates to the utilization of digital learning platforms and the creation of android learning videos and interactive multimedia learning videos to support the learning process in the classroom. Through the use of digital learning platforms in the classroom, teachers can provide meaningful learning experiences to students and students can actively engage in the learning process. In addition, digital literacy helps teachers increase students’ enthusiasm in the classroom, and students’ autonomous learning.

Abstract

Collaboration among teachers is required to make them discuss and share their teaching experiences, including some teaching and learning problems with others. Through collaboration in lesson study, it enables them to prepare meaningful learning to students and learning of 21st century. This activity involving six English teachers of SMK Muhammadiyah Pekalongan aims to improve English teachers in designing their lesson. Through lesson study conducted in one-month, English teachers’ awareness and willingness to collaborate each other showed improvement. They became more acutely aware of the necessity to analyze students' needs when discussing issues related to teaching and learning. Additionally, they might learn something from discussing best practices in teaching through lesson study. This condition affected their ability to compose their lesson design, provide students with relevant learning experiences, and help them develop 4C (critical thinking, creative, collaboration, communication) and HOTS (high order thinking skill) skills.

Abstract

Translation is an activity that cannot be separated from language learning. Some students often experience difficulties in translating. This situation makes students need to think critically in translating. This allows students to learn how to apply these abilities in real-life circumstances while also incorporating them into the educational process, where they must reflect, problem-solve, and evaluate. This is why it is important to investigate the need to apply critical thinking in dealing with students' translation difficulties. To differentiate between them, this research aims to determine the relationship between difficulties in translating and students' critical thinking skills, and tries to find something new as a novelty in this research. This research focused on 45 third semester English Literature students at Muhammadiyah Semarang University as the subject of this research, where they had received translation classes since the first semester. This research used a quantitative descriptive method, with the instrument used in this research being a questionnaire. There are two questionnaires in this research, a questionnaire on difficulties in translating and also a questionnaire on students' critical thinking skills. The results show that there was a relationship between difficulties in translating and students' critical thinking skills. The more students experience difficulties in translating, the higher the students' critical thinking skills. Based on the results of the questionnaire, it was found that students had critical thinking skills to face difficulties in translating which were classified into analysis, evaluation, inference, and reasoning.
