Abstract

This study investigates the perspectives of teacher educators at SMP Putri Cahaya Medan regarding the integration of evidence-based teaching (EBT) into their classroom practices. Amid growing emphasis on utilizing research to enhance education, the gap between educational theory and practical implementation remains a critical concern. Using a mixed-methods approach, including interviews, surveys, and classroom observations, this research explores teacher educators’ attitudes, challenges, and strategies related to EBT. Findings indicate that while educators generally value research-informed practices, they face significant barriers such as time constraints, limited access to research, and conflicts between personal teaching philosophies and empirical findings. However, factors such as institutional support, collaborative learning environments, and contextual adaptation of research findings were identified as key enablers. The study concludes that systemic support and professional development are essential to empower teacher educators in effectively translating research evidence into meaningful teaching practices, thereby bridging the gap between research and classroom application.

Abstract

Cultural adjustments are essential in the translation process, particularly when translating from Indonesian to English, due to the unique cultural nuances, customs, and expressions inherent in each language. Without careful consideration, these elements can easily be lost in translation. One major challenge is the cultural differences between Indonesian and English. Another challenge is the distinction between formal and informal language usage in both languages. To address these challenges, translators need a profound understanding of both the source and target languages and cultures. They must be well-versed in the cultural norms, customs, and expressions of both languages and adapt them appropriately in their translations. This study examines the translation techniques used to achieve cultural adjustments when translating Indonesian texts into English and how these adjustments are realized by the translator. A qualitative approach is employed, specifically descriptive research, aiming to provide a detailed description of existing translations. The data source for this research is the translation work of an English lecturer at the University Prima Indonesia. The translation techniques identified include adaptation, adoption uptake, common/established equivalence, discursive creation, compensation, and variation. The findings indicate that adoption uptake is the predominant technique used by the translator to achieve cultural adjustments from Indonesian to English.

Abstract

This study evaluates the translation accuracy of the English-Indonesian bilingual children’s storybook Purple and Walter: Save the Trees using the Back-Translation method to ensure its reliability for bilingual education. Employing a qualitative descriptive design with textual analysis, the research analyzed 65 linguistic units comprising sentences and dialogue segments following the four-step "circular" validation procedure (Forward Translation, Review, Blind Back-Translation, and Comparison) proposed by Yu et al. (2003). The data were further assessed using Nababan’s (2012) translation accuracy framework. The findings indicate a high level of semantic consistency, with 0% (0 units) falling into Low Accuracy, 27.7% (18 units) categorized as Moderate Accuracy, 52.3% (34 units) as High Accuracy, and 20.0% (13 units) as Very High Accuracy. Results demonstrate that while the core message and narrative function remain stable (72.3% total High/Very High accuracy), Moderate Accuracy units reveal a consistent pattern of stylistic reduction, where descriptive intensity and double emphasis (e.g., "tiny little") are simplified for audience adaptation. This study concludes that the Back-Translation method serves as a rigorous "diagnostic filter" for detecting subtle meaning shifts that traditional direct comparisons may overlook. The high semantic reliability of the text confirms its effectiveness for literacy development, though a balance between readability and the preservation of stylistic richness is recommended for future bilingual materials.
