Abstract

To improve the quality of education outcomes, English teachers have to enhance their competence in assessing students learning. In fact, in Curriculum 2013, many Englishteachers find difficulties in assessing students learning. One of the reasons is lack ofknowledge about the model of assessment for Curriculum 2013. Therefore, in this article, analternative model of project-based assessment is proposed. The focus here is on the Englishwriting competence. This article actually concerns with a proposed model of assessment withpilot study data. The pilot study was conducted by adapting research and development (R D) procedure. The participants of the study were English teachers from Yogyakarta andgraduate students of English Language Studies, Sanata Dharma University. The techniqueused were questionnaire and Focus Group Discussion (FGD). The data were verbal andnumerical. The result of the pilot study shows that the model is good but needs someimprovement. It also reveals some principles in developing the effective project-basedassessment model: practical, holistic, systematic, systemic, relevant, authentic, andmeaningful. In addition, the project-based instrument should have: clear objectives, clearscoring criteria, clear instruction, clear items and feedback.Keywords: alternative model, project-based assessment, writing competence

Abstract

The current study is an attempt to discover the vocabulary size of students majoring in International Natural Science Education and the developmental pattern of their vocabulary size. The proposed research questions are: (1) What are the vocabulary sizes of students of international natural science education? and (2) Is their vocabulary size different across levels (freshmen, sophomore and junior)? To achieve the research aim, a cross-sectional research design was used. The total number of 79 students from three semesters studying in International Natural Science Education participated in the study. The instrument used was a Vocabulary Size Test developed by Nation and Beglar (2007). A descriptive statistic and an inferential statistics One-Way ANOVA continued by a pos-hoc test (Scheffe) were run in order to answer the proposed research questions. The results of computation revealed that the vocabulary size was 5,271-word families for the freshmen level, 6,142-word families for the sophomore level and 6,524-word families for the junior level. Based on the result of inferential statistics One-Way ANOVA, the student’s vocabulary size across levels are different. The F-ratio indicates that the difference between these groups was 7,369 in the level of significance 0,001. Furthermore, based on the Scheffe test, the significant difference lies between semester 2 and semester 4. Meanwhile, the difference of the vocabulary size between semester 4 and semester 6 was found to be less significant. In general, it can be concluded that there is a difference on the development of student’s vocabulary size reflected by the result of statistical analysis. The developmental pattern of students’ vocabulary size seems to be positive since the higher the level, the larger the students’ vocabulary size.

Abstract

This paper aims to discover the feasibility and the applicability of task-based learning in improving the quality of the teaching and learning process (TLP) of reading in Indonesian secondary schools in relation to the teaching of genre or text types as required by the national curriculum. This is an action research study which is qualitative in nature. The data were obtained through observations and interviews with the students and the collaborators. They were in the forms of field notes, interview transcripts, and photographs. In addition, this research applied the investigator triangulation, the theoretical triangulation and the time triangulation. The actions implemented in this research are discussing new vocabulary items and guessing meaning from context, applying skimming and scanning strategies, discussing grammar related to the text, conducting a question/answer game, providing various materials from different sources, and applying group/pair work. The results of the research show that the students’ motivation increased. They were more enthusiastic in learning reading. Moreover, the students were interested in various materials presented by the teacher. They could get involved actively in the reading learning process. In addition, the classroom interaction also increased. The students could interact very well with other students and the teacher. In conclusion, the use of task-based approach with its accompanying actions is effective to improve the teaching and learning process of reading.

Abstract

Reflection has recently been used in adult learning evaluation due to its humanistic value. However, in spite of its benefits, self-reflection has weaknesses for it is unshared. Self-reflection needs to be shared to colleagues, to be social reflection, so that it will be more beneficial for self-trough receiving feedback from others while others could also learn from it. Therefore, this article is going to report the study conducted to develop social reflection model to improve the teachers' competence. The model proposed is in the form of conceptual and iconic. The study employed R&D method proposed by Borg & Gall (1983). However, only parts of the steps were taken due to some limitations, those are research and information collecting, planning, developing preliminary product, and preliminary field testing, and main product revision. The result of the preliminary field testing shows that the model needs improvement.

Abstract

Aku as the main character in the short story Si Gila will represent the anxiety of people with mental disorders faced by other characters as a representation of normal people. The established hierarchy of binary opposition to mentally impaired and normal people is deeply rooted in Indonesian society. The binary opposition in question is the assumption that normal people have more human and spiritual values than those with mental disorders. The establishment of this value makes people with mental disorders experience discrimination and rejection in society in Indonesia. Through a short story by Han Gagas, this research aims to show the existence of binary opposition which is contrary to the current values believed by Indonesian society. Using the deconstruction theory put forward by Jacques Derrida which rejects the existence of one value establishment and closes the possibility of other values. This study tries to show another value construction through reading the short story Si Gila by Han Gagas from the perspective of Deconstruction theory. The results of this study show that my condition as a mental disorder sufferer who becomes the main character is also a symbol of the values that are pinned to people with mental disorders after experiencing the fusion of hierarchical boundaries with the defamiliarization of the concept of crazy as a mental disorder. The results of this study are that mental disorders and normalcy are not a binary opposition, but rather a spectrum.
