Abstract

Problem-solving is one of the skills that is crucial to equip students to face a variety of challenges in the future as well as related to the development of their lifelong literacy skills. One of the potential solutions for promoting students’ problem-solving skills is introducing Computational Thinking. However, in the context of schools in East Kalimantan, both teachers and students have not been familiar with Computational Thinking. Therefore, this current pilot study aimed at introducing Computational Thinking to teachers, especially primary school teachers, by developing a workshop and a module suitable to the local contexts and needs. This study involved 22 primary school teachers from Kutai Kartanegara Regency who had no prior knowledge and experience concerning Computational Thinking. The teachers were trained the basic concepts of CT and how to implement CT in the class especially in relation to literacy aspects. Afterwards, the teachers were assigned to develop a CT-infused lesson and did a self-reflection on the process. The findings from the post-workshop questionnaires indicated that most teachers showed positive attitudes towards CT and implementing CT in their lessons. Furthermore, they also voiced out that they would like to learn further about CT, particularly related to Literacy and the Minimum Competency Assessment (AKM).

Abstract

The purposes of this study were to know how the teacher teaches English grammar through distance learning and investigate the problems during implementation of teaching English grammar through distance learning. The design of this study was qualitative research design which was characterized by a case study. The participant was selected through purposive sampling. The data were analyzed by using the interactive analysis model. The researcher used the triangulation by data source, triangulation by method, and triangulation by theory to check the validity and reliability of this study. The findings revealed that the English teacher applied teaching grammar in context, inductive and deductive approach and integrated grammar with language skills. In addition, the English teacher used flipped-classroom model a form of blended learning that combines synchronous and asynchronous online learning with WhatsApp, Google Meet, and Google Classroom as the teaching platforms. In its implementation, the English teacher faced some problems in the process of teaching English grammar through distance learning. Those problems were student discipline, limited time, teacher’s extra workload, distance between teacher and students, classroom management and technical problem. In conclusion, teaching English Grammar through distance learning can be conducted and maximized by having well preparation on learning activities, well communication and collaboration between the teacher and students in teaching ang learning process to achieve the learning objectives.

This study aimed to see it in high school students as demanded in the syllabus 2013. The respondents were 70 from the 360 population by using simple random sampling. A Mix-method approach answered the research questions with the writing competence, questionnaire, and interview instruments. The treatment group got the reflective journal writing while the control group without reflective journal writing six times. Pretest applied before the treatment and posttest after treatment and followed with a questionnaire and an interview. The data analysis used two-way manova, paired sample t-test, independent t-test, and Interview. The effect size shown in Eta Square for motivation was 86.4% or 0.864 categorized large effect and for writing 9.6% or 0.096 categorized moderate effect. RJW had a significant simultaneous effect on students’ writing competence and motivation. The correlation of students’ writing partially was .527. It was bigger than .05. RJW had a partial effect on students’ writing competence. For motivation, the significance value was 7.488 meant that RJW had a partial effect. It supported with Qual analysis that showed on students’ willingness, desires of doing something, fun activity, enjoyment activity, satisfaction, and effort of facing problems.
