Abstract

This study purposes the enhancement of Critical Thinking ability for students at Indonesian Open University or Universitas Terbuka (UT) and argues that critical thinking can be effectively implemented for online students to improve their skills during their academic life. If it is successful, Indonesian Open University can be better satisfied with their scholars’ quality and sustainable outcomes. This study employed the literature study approach by obtaining the data and information from relevant previous studies. This study suggested that in order to enhance students’ learning outcomes at UT, the instructors are expected to introduce the concept of critical thinking ability through learning content, instructional methods, practice examples and feedback. It is also suggested that students should be encouraged to participate in collaborative learning to stimulate their higher order thinking. The role of instructors and faculty member in designing engaging learning activities and providing accurate information related to learning management system are considerably crucial.

Abstract

Taman Pendidikan Masyarakat Tanyoe (TPMT) becomes one of examples of how education is still progressing in the heart of rural community in Aceh Besar sub-district in Aceh Province. As learning community in rural area, TPMT faced some challenges in order to regain their existence in the midst of modern learning environment. This case study attempted to see how TPMT preserved their existence as learning community through some strategies in order to serve the community in Lambirah, Aceh Besar. The data were collected through observation, interview and documents. The findings revealed that there were two essential steps needed by TPMT to resolve the issues, namely maintaining the “active relationship” (based on the Social Capital principle); overcoming the issues related to the self and teaching development experienced by permanent and volunteered staff; and utilising the natural potency of Lambirah village and TPMT as the learning community to direct and gain attention from the local policy maker. This case study essentially shared a valuable lesson of being Social Capital actors to the renewal and sustainability of a community.

Abstract

This study attempts to describe the untold experience of digital technology utilization for learning at one of high schools located in the most central district in Aceh province. This study aimed to reveal the strategies and challenges implemented and experienced by the school principal and teachers at SMAN 5 Takengon, Central Aceh regency, Aceh province.  This qualitative study involved three respondents namely a school principal, a regular teacher and a teaching staff. In collecting the data, the researcher employed an observation and interview session. The findings revealed that as a motivator, the principal at SMAN 5 Takengon implemented several strategies to positively encourage teachers to utilize the digital technology in the classroom through creating a positive working atmosphere, encouraging the teachers individually, providing the rewards, supporting the teachers with learning resources. However, the obstacles such as teachers’ unproductive age and unfamiliarity, and consistent commitment became two most challenging factors in guaranteeing the utilization of digital technology for learning at SMAN 5 Takengon.
