Abstract

This community service activity program aims to guide school teachers to infuse CT principles into the learning modules and to implement their CT-infused modules in their classes. The methods for implementing community service activities were workshops and mentoring activities. The target of the activity was pre-school, elementary, and junior-high school teachers at School Foundation of Yohanes Gabriel sub-District Tuban. The instruments used to collect data were a survey, observation sheets, and learning-module documents. The data were analyzed to describe the teachers’ abilities to create CT-infused modules and their skills to carry out these modules in their instructional practices. The results of this program showed that the teachers understood CT principles and taxonomy and could create appropriate teaching modules infused with CT principles. It implies that this community service program could improve teachers’ teaching skills through their efforts to integrate computational thinking into their instructional practices.

Abstract

Reading passages should have language readability levels suiting to students’ grade levels. Indeed, reading comprehension exercises should help students develop their competences in comprehending texts. This study investigated the language readability levels of reading passages and the comprehension levels of exercises in Scaffolding for Grades 7, 8, and 9. Assessed using Flesch-Kincaid formula and Fry figure, the language readability levels of reading passages in Scaffolding coursebooks were below the grade levels of Indonesia EFL students using the coursebooks. Judged using Barrett’s Reading Comprehension Taxonomy, exercises in Scaffolding coursebooks were dominated by literal comprehension and reorganization exercises, and supplemented with low numbers of inferential comprehension and evaluation exercises. Bacaan dalam buku teks seharusnya mengandung bahasa (kata dan kalimat) yang dapat di- mengerti siswa yang menggunakannya. Latihan yang menyertai bacaan juga seharusnya mengembangkan kemampuan siswa untuk memahami bacaan. Penelitian ini mengevaluasi tingkat keterpahaman bahasa dalam bacaan pada buku teks bahasa Inggris Scaffolding oleh siswa, dan seberapa besar latihan yang menyertai bacaan membantu pemahaman bacaan oleh siswa. Hasil evaluasi keterpahaman bahasa dalam bacaan menggunakan formula Flesch-Kincaid dan Fry menunjukkan bahwa bahasa yang digunakan dalam bacaan di bawah tingkat siswa yang menggunakan buku teks tersebut. Hasil evaluasi latihan bacaan menggunakan Taksonomi Barrett menunjukkan bahwa sebagian besar latihan mengembangkan pemahaman literal dan reorganisasi, dengan sebagian kecil latihan mengembangkan pemahaman inferensial dan evaluasi.
