Abstract

This study aims at finding out and comparing students' ability in identifying abuse(s) in argumentdeductions between science students and social science students. The design of this study is a descriptivequalitative. There were 108 students involved as the respondents (52 science students and 56 socialscience students). The instrument utilized was ten arguments taken from Guth (1969), which is aspecified test to drill argument analysis—aligning content validity for this current study. Therespondents were asked to analyze these arguments and find out the deduction abuses. Their approachin analyzing each argument was further interpreted through data analysis. There were a total of 1080analyses, but 477 analyses of which were discarded due to a biased approach. The data were analyzedusing thematic and interactive analysis. The result shows that, among science students, the mostemployed approach is faulty premise (199 analyses), followed by misleading statistics (53 analyses),hidden premise (37 analyses), equivocation (10), and circular premise (4 analyses). Meanwhile, amongsocial science students, the majority also exploited the faulty premise (137 analyses). Additionally, thehidden premise was also engaged in a great number (130 analyses), equivocation (40), followed bymisleading statistics (9 analyses), and circular premise (2 analyses). These findings circumstantiallyimply that, in learning, students with a science background are better at capturing stated details, whilestudents with a social science background are competent at spotting both stated and unstated details inarguments. It is suggested that teachers should balance the students’ reasoning approaches, regardlessof their academic backgrounds to achieve learning objectives.Keywords: logic, students’ cognition, deduction, reasoning skills, and teaching and learning.

Abstract

This study aims to examine differences between male and female teachers’ perception of the digital literacy training. The design of the study was descriptive quantitative study, in which the researchers described differences in both male and female teachers’ perception in the digital literacy training conducted in Pidie Jaya. 16 senior high school teachers in SMA Negeri 1 Bandar Baru became the participants of the study. There were 6 male teachers and 10 female teachers. The researchers used the questionnaire that was developed to find out perception in terms of 5 aspects; speakers, participants, materials, atmospheres, and facilities. The data were then analyzed through some steps including grouping the data based on gender and finding the average percentage of each aspect based on gender. The results show that both male and female agreed that the digital literacy training conducted was very effective. A small number of female teachers thought that materials, atmospheres, participants, and facilities were not very effective. For male teachers, only materials and speakers that were claimed to be not very effective, 3% and 4% respectively. Keywords: Male and Female Teachers, Perception, Digital Literacy Training

Abstract

This study was grounded in the observation that students often encounter challenges when attempting to initiate the introductory paragraph of a descriptive text due to insufficient command of vocabulary. Hence, this experimental research employed the VCOP strategy as a viable approach with the purpose was to enhance students' vocabulary, thereby influencing their writing skills. The research was conducted at SMK Negeri 5 Langsa, with X3 assigned as the experimental class and X5 as the control class. Each class comprised 32 students. The instruments employed in this study were pre-test and post-test. The findings indicated that the implementation of the VCOP was successful in enhancing students' writing proficiency. The statistical finding showed that the post-test score of the Experimental Group (EG) was greater than those of the Control Group (CG). The discrepancy between 69.38 and 57.19 was calculated to be 12.19. This disparity suggested that the administered treatment had a positive impact on pupils' learning outcomes. Furthermore, the t-test value of -3.8 obtained in this study exceeded the predetermined threshold, indicating a significant difference between the two groups. Consequently, the alternative hypothesis was accepted whereas the null hypothesis was rejected. The findings suggest that the academic performance of the experimental group was superior to that of the control group. Hence, VCOP is believed as an alternative strategy to be applied in writing classroom.

Abstract

This study explores how social skills are performed among first-grade elementary school children, focusing on key competencies such as communication, cooperation, and conflict resolution. Through qualitative observations and analyses, the study examines how individual differences influence children's social interactions and ability to adapt to structured educational environments. The data were collected using interview guides and documentation, which were later analyzed using thematic analysis. The findings reveal that there are three significant notes. First, regarding the communication pattern, the children are more intimate and relaxed when talking to peers and feel more serious when talking to teachers. Second, their ability to cooperate is shown in taking turns. Third, in resolving the anger conflict, they mostly stay silent, believing that it will disappear, and they find their teachers to help end the conflict. It is later concluded that first-grade children adapt their social skills based on context, showing different communication styles, cooperation, and conflict-resolution strategies with peers and adults. This implies that school teachers must pay attention to the student's ability to develop their social skills.

Abstract

This study aimed at reporting differences in terms of the university students’ TOEFL self-efficacy in the test skill and the English skills tested in TOEFL namely listening, structure, and reading. In conducting the study, the explanatory sequential mixed method was used as the study design, where the quantitative data from the survey was conducted first followed by the follow-up interview as the qualitative data. To collect the data in this study, a specifically designed self-efficacy questionnaire of TOEFL was distributed to the total sample of 200 university students across different disciplines from Syiah Kuala University and the University of Serambi Mekkah. The interview was then conducted with 3 selected students to have a deeper understanding of the study result. In terms of the data analysis, one-way ANOVA and t-test were used to describe the quantitative data, while the qualitative data was described and elaborated in words with detailed explanations. The result showed that there was a significant difference among the test skill and the English skills in TOEFL, where F= 13.61 (3, 796), p<0.05. The result also revealed that within the gender, only reading skill had a significant difference, where t198= -2.003, p <. 005, and within the language course participation, all the test skills and TOEFL skills were significantly different as the p-value of each skill was smaller than .005 (p< .005).
