Standing, Active vs Sitting, Torpid: a Management Decision Usman, Bustami; Champion, Ibrahim; Muslem, Asnawi; Samad, Iskandar Abdul
AT-TALIM Vol 25, No 1 (2018)
Publisher : Institut Agama Islam Negeri Imam Bonjol Padang

The aim of the study is to investigate the pros and cons of standing while working and studying. A qualitative research was employed where the data taken from education practitioners and students interested to learn and support the introduction of standing desks. The finding of the study show that students and sedentary workers now spend up to 85% of their waking hours,(+/-13.5 hrs/day), sitting viz: sitting at meals, sitting in transportation, sitting in schools or offices, sitting watching TV or looking at a handphone or an i-pad plus sitting whilst watching sport or playing computer games. Even if standing in classes became the default behaviour in all classes it could only result in a maximum of about 20 extra hours of standing per week during semesters and thus could only reduce the amount of time spent sitting by a maximum of 14% of waking hours to 71% of waking hours. The height of Standing Desks should be at the elbow height of theÂ person concerned ie about 1.00m for senior high school and university students and adults. For primary school students the desk height for the standing desk is about 75cm â ie. the same as the desk height for normal sitting desks for adults. The study also did a small survey of educators, 66% of whom would support the introduction ofÂ standing desks.Â Finally the study found that 72 % of the students and their teacher supported the introduction of standing desks. It is hoped that some schools and offices will take the initiative to introduce standing desks on a larger scale.

Understanding the RP of this section was important becauseÂ it helped readers to have a description of the whole script. A qualitative method was applied in this study toÂ draw the RP through the content analysis. The data were taken from twenty undergraduate studentsâ€™ scripts at four selectedÂ universities. CARS model was used to analyze all the data. In general, the result shows a unique RP of the Introductionsection by Acehnese students where RP of introduction section maintains the circular way of thinking.

Publisher : University of Muhammadiyah Prof. DR. HAMKA

This study investigated the rhetorical pattern (RP) of the introduction section of the scripts written by Acehnese undergraduate students studying in four different universities in Aceh. The focus of this study is on three elements: placement of the thesis, patterns of idea, and metadiscourse markers of the introduction section. Literature has reported a number of findings regarding the RP; however, information about this in undergraduate level, particularly in state universities in Aceh, is still limited. This study was conducted qualitatively by employing content analysis to identify the RP. A number of introduction sections of students’ scripts from four selected universities in Aceh were collected and analysed. The result shows the dominance of the three elements in the introduction section.

Drawing on a multimodality theory, this study attempted to investigate the various semiotic resources utilized by a giant Indonesian cigarette company, Sampoerna, and explore how these resources communicate meanings or messages in its billboard advertisements to persuade its potential customers to buy the product. The data were analyzed using Hallidayâ€™s systemic functional grammar focusing on ideational meta-function or also known as a representational function in multimodal discourse analysis. The findings revealed that the billboard advertisements were designed to persuade the audience to buy the advertised products implicitly through representational functions attained using narrative and conceptual processes. Whereas the former was realized by employing its typical sub-processes, actional and reactional processes, the latter employed its sub-processes such as classificational, analytical, and symbolic processes. Implicationally, this study has illuminated the possible application of systemic functional grammar within multimodal discourse analysis domain to investigate implicit message(s) conveyed by an advertisement.

Visualisation has been used for decades as a strategy to help readers construct meaning from reading passages. Teachers across the globe have introduced visualisation mostly to primary students with native language background. They used the strategy to understand their own language. Little is known how this strategy works for university students who learn foreign language. Visualisation can be done internally (by creating mental imagery) and externally (by drawing visual representation). The product of visualising texts by using both models can be further investigated to find out if the meaning represented is appropriate to the meaning written in the text. This study therefore aims at exploring meaning by analysing the visual representations drawn by 26 English Education Department students of Syiah Kuala University after they read a narrative text. The exploration was conducted by looking at the image-word relations in the drawings. To do so, we consulted Chan and Unsworth (2011), Chan (2010) and Unsworth and Chan (2009) on the image-language interaction in multimodal text. The results of the analysis have found that the equivalence, additive and interdependent relations are mostly involved in their visual representations; and these relations really help in representing meanings. Meanwhile, the other three relations which are word-specific, picture specific and parallel are rarely used by the students. In addition, most students created the representations in a form of a design which is relevant to represent a narrative text. Further discussion of the relation between image-word relations, types of design and studentsâ€™ comprehension is also presented in this paper.

This research aims at investigating the use of Herringbone Graphic Organizer Strategy (HGO) to enhance students’ reading comprehension and their responses toward the application of HGO. The true experimental design was used in this research in which the population involved four classes at Private Senior High School of SukmaBangsaLhokseumawe, consisting of 86 first grade students, while two classes were selected by using cluster random sampling as samples, namely X/Volcano as an experimental class, consisting of 18 students and X/Hargowilis as a control class, consisting of 20 students. The experimental class was taught by using HGO, whereas the control class was taught by using conventional strategy. The instruments used for data collection were tests and questionnaires. The tests were given for both the experimental and control class but the questionnaire was only distributed for experimental class students. The data obtained from the tests were analyzed by using the SPSS (statistical package for the social science) version 23 and the questionnaire was analyzed by using Likert scale. The analyses results indicated that HGO is able to enhance students' reading comprehension proven by the significance value of the t-test on the identifying main idea (p = 0.003), specific detail (0,001), and inference aspect (0.001). Therefore, since the probability is Sig. 0.05, then H0 is rejected. In addition, the students responded positively (79.16%) to the application of HGO. It can be concluded that HGO could enhance reading comprehension and develop the positive responses of the students.
