Abstract

Metacognitive strategies are language learning strategies used to improve self-monitoring and self-regulation skills. Using a purposive sampling technique, 79 students in a creative writing class were selected to participate. Data collection was carried out repeatedly, and the data were analyzed using repeated measurement tests. During essay writing learning, students were guided to develop metacognitive skills, starting from planning, monitoring, and evaluating writing. The results of the study showed that metacognitive strategies influenced the development of metacognitive skills. Students were accustomed to writing in the stages of planning writing, monitoring the strategies used, and evaluating the writing results. When completing their writing, they were guided to use a reflection journal as a self-reflection tool. Measurements were carried out five times. In the first week, students began to be introduced to metacognitive strategies with a focus on awareness of the thinking process, especially in planning the content of the writing; in the second week, students showed significant improvement when they were able to organize ideas more coherently and relevantly to the topic; In week 3, students demonstrated maturity in developing arguments, enriching descriptions, and improving paragraph cohesion and coherence, resulting in a significant increase in their creative essay writing scores. However, in weeks 4 and 5, students' abilities slowed down, with no statistically significant differences. This stagnation was caused by the learning plateau and ceiling effect, the short duration of treatment, inaccurate assessment instruments, and student motivation and boredom. Nevertheless, metacognitive strategies are recommended for use in essay writing learning.

Abstract

Metacognitive functions as a means to regulate cognitive abilities, such as reading. The greater a person’s awareness of their metacognitive processes during reading, the more effectively they will comprehend the material. This research aims to assess the effectiveness of a flipped metacognitive strategy (FMS) as a learning approach that incorporates metacognitive skills with a focus on technology in education. A random selection method was employed to choose 28 participants for the study. The findings indicated a notable difference in the average scores of students’ metacognitive awareness before and after the implementation of the FMS. Specifically, metacognitive awareness in reading improved from a score of 56.42, categorized as “good enough”, to 80.79, classified as “very good”. The effectiveness assessment revealed that the N-Gain percent value for students’ metacognitive awareness stands at 54.81%, placing it in the less effective category. Therefore, the FMS can be utilized to enhance metacognitive awareness in reading. Nonetheless, this strategy requires ongoing implementation to be optimally effective in tracking the advancement of students’ metacognitive awareness, particularly in reading. As long as learning strategies are in place, educators must elevate the quality of instructional materials and pay greater attention to the learning needs of students. To enhance reading comprehension, teachers should foster students’ metacognitive awareness, which encompasses understanding various reading strategies, recognizing problem-solving techniques during reading, and being aware of the factors that contribute to reading comprehension.

Abstract

This study aims to describe the validity and reliability of the learning strategy questionnaire instrument used during the Covid-19 pandemic. By using a quantitative approach, measurement of the learning strategy questionnaire was developed based on six language learning strategies, namely: cognitive strategies, memory strategies, compensation strategies, metacognitive strategies, affective strategies, and social strategies. A total of 17 students were randomly selected to be the test subjects of the learning strategy instrument. By using SPSS 23, the bivariate product moment correlate test was used to determine the validity of the questionnaire items and Cronbach's Alpha test to determine the reliability of the questionnaire. The results showed that as many as 124 questionnaire items were tested on respondents, it was found that 92 questionnaire items were declared valid and overall the questionnaire items were declared reliable or consistent. Thus, as many as 92 items of this learning strategy questionnaire statement can be used to measure the types of language learning strategies used by students, both for online learning and face-to-face learning.

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to describe the uniqueness of the Student Team Achievement Division (STAD) and Cooperative Integrated Reading and Composition (CIRC) models in terms of poetry learning. This is a quantitative study that uses a pure experimental method. The randomized posttest in the control group was used as the experimental design. With the average similarity test, the study sample was chosen randomly, class of Experiment I and Experiment II. The STAD model was used to teach poetry to experimental class I, and the CIRC model was used to teach poetry to experimental class II. Both learning models can be employed in poetry learning, according to the findings, because they improve poetry understanding skills, social skills in terms of interpreting poetry content, and the process and ultimate outcomes of poetry learning. Both types have their own distinct characteristics that make them suited for poetry instruction. The STAD model differs from others in that it creates opportunities for students to collaborate in groups, take responsibility, and high abilities. The CIRC model is unique in that it divides students into groups according to their level of reading interest, collaborate and encourage one another.Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendeskripsikan keunikan Model STAD (Student Team Achievement Division) dan CIRC (Cooperative Integrated Reading and Composition) dalam pembelajaran puisi.  Jenis penelitian ini adalah kuantitatif dengan metode eksperimen murni. Desain eksperimen yang digunakan adalah the randomized posttest only control group design. Sampel penelitian dipilih secara random dengan uji kesamaan rata-rata, yakni kelas Eksperimen I dan Eksperimen II. Kelas eksperimen I menerima pengajaran puisi dengan model STAD dan kelas eksperimen II menerima pengajaran puisi dengan model CIRC. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kedua model pembelajaran dapat digunakan dalam pembelajaran puisi karena memberi dampak pada peningkatan keterampilan memahami puisi, peningkatan kemampuan sosial dalam hal memaknai isi puisi, dan peningkatan proses dan hasil belajar puisi secara keseluruhan. Keunikan model STAD adalah pemberian reward yang memberikan dorongan kepada mahasiswa untuk berkolaborasi kelompok, bertanggung, dan pendampingan agar kemampuan kelompok merata. Keunikan model CIRC adalah pembagian kelompok yang didasarkan pada tinggi rendahnya minat baca mahasiswa, bekerja sama, dan saling memotivasi.
