Abstract

The integration of higher-order thinking skills (HOTS) in language learning assessments has become a crucial issue in 21st-century learning. However, not many teachers are aware of the need to incorporate HOTS in assessments due to their insufficient knowledge and the absence of good examples. Further, there is not much research and literature on HOTS-based formative assessment that can be used as references. This research aims to fill the existing gap by providing a model of higher-order thinking skills (HOTS)-based formative assessments for English learning, especially in junior high schools. By employing research and development design, this research describes the validation of the assessment model. The proposed model of assessment may be used as a prototype for assessing language learning.

Abstract

The objectives of this research are to find out the translation methods used in the dialogues, to find out the method that often appears in the subtitles of Maleficent movies, and to describe the quality level of English to Indonesian subtitles in Maleficent's translation. The theory used to analyze the translation method is the theory of Gottlieb (1992). This research is classified into qualitative descriptive research. The research data is from dialogue subtitles in the Maleficent film. The data source is obtained from the film Maleficent—data collection techniques with documentation. At the same time, data analysis is done by collecting, classifying, calculating, dominating, and drawing conclusions. The results of this research indicate that translators use six methods. These methods are paraphrasing (16,1%) and transfer (39,5%). Imitation (8,0%), condensation (8,0%), decimation (0,6%), and deletion (27,8%). From these results, it can be concluded that the translation method that translators dominantly use is the transfer method. Besides, subsequent research can provide knowledge that can be useful for readers and can be the next related research that will be reviewed. Further research is also needed to keep up with the development of translation studies.

Abstract

Pembelajaran yang menyenangkan perlu diprioritaskan agar peserta didik nyaman dan termotivasi untuk belajar. Namun, banyak pendidik langsung mengajar materi tanpa menciptakan suasana belajar sesuai kurikulum merdeka. Pembelajaran tersebut akan tercapai jika pendidik memiliki kepercayaan diri melalui pendekatan efikasi diri. Efikasi diri adalah keyakinan dan penilaian individu bahwa dirinya mampu melakukan tugas sesuai dengan yang dipersyaratkan untuk mencapai tujuan. Pendekatan ini membantu pendidik percaya diri dalam mengatasi peserta didik bermasalah dan menciptakan suasana belajar yang positif sehingga berdampak pada prestasi peserta didik. Guru di KKG Dewi Sartika memiliki kompetensi baik, tetapi masih kurang percaya diri dalam menghadapi siswa bermasalah. Tujuan kegiatan PKM ini adalah untuk meningkatkan efikasi diri pendidik dalam melaksanakan tugas mengajar melalui pembelajaran yang menyenangkan. Efikasi diri yang kuat akan meningkatkan kualitas pengajaran, mencetak pendidik dan peserta didik yang berprestasi. Metode yang diterapkan adalah metode partisipatif bersama tim PKM, meliputi pemberian materi, praktik, dan pendampingan untuk refleksi para peserta setelah mengikuti pelatihan. Melalui pelatihan ini, dihasilkan pendidik yang lebih percaya diri terhadap kemampuannya berdasarkan refleksi hasil rekaman video pembelajaran, respon pendidik bahwa kegiatan sangat bermanfaat sebagai pengalaman menciptakan pembelajaran yang menyenangkan, serta manfaat itu akan dibagikan kepada pendidik yang belum sempat hadir. Joyful learning should be prioritized to ensure students feel comfortable and motivated to learn. However, many educators directly teach the material without creating a conducive learning atmosphere as required by the independent curriculum. Such learning goals can be achieved if educators possess confidence through a self-efficacy approach. Self-efficacy refers to an individual's belief and assessment of their ability to perform tasks required to achieve specific goals. This approach aids educators in building confidence to address challenging students and create a positive learning environment that has an impact on student achievement. Teachers at KKG Dewi Sartika demonstrate good competence, but lack confidence in dealing with challenging students. The purpose of this activity is to improve the self-efficacy of educators in carrying out teaching tasks through joyful learning. Strong self-efficacy enhances teaching quality, fostering both educator and student excellence. The method applied is a participatory method with the team, encompassing material provision, practical sessions, and continuous mentoring for reflection after training. Through this training, educators are produced who are more confident in their abilities based on reflections on the results of the learning video, educator responses that the activity was very useful in create enjoyable learning experiences, and these benefits would be shared with other educators who had not had the opportunity to attend.
