Abstract

The study explained the influence of the contextual learning model and critical thinking competence in enhancing argumentative writing proficiency. The sample is 50 students taken by using a multistage sampling technique. The study results indicated that the contextual learning model group has more significant influence than the non-contextual learning model group. There was an interaction between the learning model and critical thinking competence. There was a significant argumentative writing skill difference between the contextual learning model group and the non-contextual learning model group with high critical thinking competence. The argumentative writing skill and contextual learning model were the same as the argumentative writing skill and non-contextual learning model group of low critical thinking ability. This means that critical thinking competence and contextual learning models have a significant influence on argumentative writing proficiency.

Abstract

"An Education" is a drama movie from 2009 that was directed by Lone Scherfig and produced by Finola Dwyer and Amanda Posey. It features an ensemble cast including Carey Mulligan, Peter Sarsgaard, Alfred Molina, Rosamund Pike, Dominic Cooper, Emma Thompson, and Olivia Williams. The central character in the movie is Jenny Mellor, a hardworking 16-year-old student. Her parents have high hopes for her to attend Oxford University. However, Jenny's orderly life starts to change when she develops an unlikely relationship with David Goldman, a middle-aged man. This study examines the portrayal of Jenny Mellor, the main character in the movie "An Education," through the lens of Howard Gardner's theory of multiple intelligences. The study aims to analyze the various forms of intelligence that Jenny Mellor possesses and how they shape her personal and academic growth. Utilizing Gardner's theory, which acknowledges different types of intelligence beyond traditional academic measures, this study explores how Jenny's intellectual, social, emotional, and creative capacities are depicted in the movie. The analysis utilizes qualitative methods, including content analysis and narrative interpretation, to explore the diverse aspects of Jenny's intelligence. The findings reveal that Jenny demonstrates strengths in linguistic, logical-mathematical, interpersonal, and intrapersonal intelligence, while also displaying aptitude in other domains such as musical and Visual-Spatial intelligence. Furthermore, the study sheds light on how Jenny's diverse intelligences influence her decision-making, relationships, and overall development. This study contributes to a deeper appreciation of the multifaceted nature of intelligence and illuminates the character development of Jenny Mellor through the lens of Howard Gardner's theory.

Abstract

A popular theory in neuroscience, brain dominance, has influenced on education since studying of human brain plays important role to improve quality of teaching and learning outcomes. The purpose of this study is to find out the significant correlation between brain hemispheric dominance and reading skill of IELTS, and to identify the significant difference among students at the same level who have different categories of brain dominance in reading skill of IELTS. Students’ score in reading of IELTS and categories of brain dominance in the basis of personal traits and cognitive styles from 114 students of three different universities at the context of EFL were correlated and analyzed in Pearson Chi-Square, Kruskall –Wallis, and Mann-Whitney. The findings show that there is significant correlation between two variables. Different categories of brain dominance influence on students’ reading skill of IELTS. Findings of this study support what the theorists of brain dominance claim that individuals who have different brain dominance tend to be different in doing specific tasks.

Abstract

This study analyzes the social situations depicted in the novel "The Eyes of Darkness" by Dean Koontz, focusing on themes such as abuse, thriller elements, tragedy, mental health, and the virus. Using a descriptive-qualitative approach, we delve into the novel's narrative to uncover how these themes are portrayed and their implications on the characters and broader societal reflections. The analysis reveals that the novel intricately weaves these social situations to create a compelling story that resonates with real-world issues. Abuse is depicted through the misuse of power and its devastating consequences, while thriller elements introduce suspense and supernatural occurrences that challenge characters' perceptions of reality. Tragedies highlight the unpredictability of life and the resilience needed to overcome adversity. The exploration of mental health, particularly through the character of Tina, emphasizes the impact of grief and trauma and the journey towards healing. Lastly, the portrayal of the virus, notably the Wuhan-400, offers a chillingly prescient reflection of global pandemics, underscoring the ethical considerations in scientific research. This study highlights the novel's relevance in addressing complex human experiences and societal issues, offering valuable insights into the interplay between fiction and reality.

Abstract

Perubahan iklim dan kesehatan lingkungan merupakan isu global yang perlu diintegrasikan dalam pendidikan untuk membekali siswa dengan kesadaran dan keterampilan menjaga kelestarian lingkungan dan kesehatan. Namun, hasil observasi di SMA Negeri 1 Remboken, Minahasa, Sulawesi Utara menunjukkan bahwa kedua isu tersebut belum sepenuhnya terakomodasi dalam materi dan media pembelajaran, sementara pemanfaatan kecerdasan buatan (AI) masih terbatas. Program Pengabdian kepada Masyarakat (PKM) ini dilaksanakan dengan tujuan meningkatkan kompetensi guru dalam memanfaatkan AI untuk mengembangkan media pembelajaran digital yang terintegrasi dengan tema perubahan iklim dan kesehatan lingkungan. Kegiatan melibatkan 30 guru melalui tahapan sosialisasi, pelatihan, penerapan teknologi, pendampingan, dan evaluasi. Materi yang diberikan meliputi konsep dasar pendidikan perubahan iklim, pendidikan kesehatan lingkungan, serta penggunaan berbagai platform AI seperti ChatGPT, Gamma, Suno, InVideo, dan Canva. Hasilnya menunjukkan adanya peningkatan signifikan, dengan nilai rata-rata pre-test sebesar 56,78 meningkat menjadi 89,89 pada post-test. Guru juga berhasil menghasilkan media pembelajaran berbasis AI, antara lain poster digital, video, bahan tayang, dan lagu edukatif. Hasil kuesioner menunjukkan skor rata-rata 8,80 dari 10, yang menunjukkan respons positif dari peserta. Program ini tidak hanya memperkuat kapasitas guru, tetapi juga mendukung pencapaian Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) 3, 4, dan 13. Ke depan, pelatihan serupa direkomendasikan diperluas ke sekolah lain dan diarahkan pada pemanfaatan AI untuk evaluasi pembelajaran.

Abstract

The Sun Also Rises, written by Ernest Hemingway in 1926, is an influential literary work that depicts the post-war Lost Generation. The novel captures the profound sense of disillusionment experienced by individuals from the Lost Generation coping with the collapse of traditional values. The present study aims at analyzing the disillusionment depicted by the character of Jake Barnes in Ernest Hemingway’s The Sun Also Rises and its implication on English language learning. This qualitative research is conducted by using Hemingway’s The Sun Also Rises as the primary data and is supported by secondary data in the form of academic papers, research papers, and books related to the topic of disillusionment in literary works. To collect data, the researchers employed the observation and note-taking technique in which the researcher read the novel several times and took notes related to the topic of disillusionment. The obtained data were analyzed using an objective approach focusing on character development, narrative structure, and symbolic elements. The findings show that Jake Barnes, the protagonist in The Sun Also Rises, experiences the disillusionment in the form of disappointment caused by the aftermath of World War I. He shows his disappointment towards himself and the other character in the novel, as shown in the dialogues and descriptions in the novel. The study suggests that The Sun Also Rises can be utilized for English language learning in which both students and teachers can benefit by the use of the novel as a learning media, learning sources and learning object.
