Abstract

This study focused on reading comprehension ability of the English Department students in answering READS, MCQ questions. READS is an alternative standardized assessment system that is capable of measuring reading comprehension ability. This is a descriptive study based on Barrett's Taxonomy levels, such as literal comprehension, reorganization, and inferential comprehension. This study consisted of 122 students of the English Department academic year 2015 through 2018 at one of the private universities in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. This study analysis utilized the three Barrett's taxonomy scales to identify whether the students were at meet the standard, below standard, above standard or at academic warning. Finding of the research indicated that 27.8 % students categorized into academic warning (Band 2 and 3), 46.7% students categorized into below standard (Band 4) and 25.5% students categorized into meet standard (Band 5). Consequently, READS as an alternative assessment will guide the teachers to design specific reading material based on students' needs.

Grit is the persistence required by students in academic field to complete school, specifically at the stage of final project. A quantitative method was used with a correlational design to analyze 335 final year students of civil engineering program selected through proportional random sampling. Data analysis was carried out using Structural Equation Modeling-Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS) method. The results showed that academic mindset and self-efficacy had a significant effect on grit with a contribution of 26.2%, while the remaining 73.8% was influenced by other factors.
