Abstract

Bridging the past and present in a family is challenging, particularly if they grow up in a different culture. The hassle of life occupies most people's minds, which leads to abandoning one of the most fundamental kinships, the mother-daughter relationship. This phenomenon appears in a literary work written by Amy Tan entitled The Bonesetter's Daughter, where the protagonist acts apathetic toward her mother's willingness to preserve their family's lineage through a handwritten memoir.Reading the literary work through the lens of Memory Studies helps to understand the mother's unpleasant to hostile behaviours in the protagonist's upbringing; besides her harsh past that caused it, the daughter's obliviousness toward her mother's wishes in getting to know about her real grandmother and the history of their family heightened her disappointment. As an Asian, family ties serve as a vital source of identity and safeguard against life's challenges, and the bond is severed more due to the different communication styles.Realising the importance of reading the forgotten memoir written by her mother became the turning point of their relationship. By willingly reading the mother's memory, finally, the daughter creates a long-wished family connection.

Abstract

This study aims to describe the development process and assess the suitability of the Ekanaru learning resource, based on the Jimdo website and using the Problem-Based Learning (PBL) model, for teaching writing skills to fifth-grade public elementary school in Indonesia. The study employed the Research and Development (R&D) method using the ADDIE model, which comprises the stages of analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation. The research subjects comprised 13 Year 5 students. Product validation involved one media expert, one subject, and a language expert. Data were collected through observation, interviews, questionnaires, and documentation, and subsequently analyzed using quantitative descriptive techniques, expressed as percentages. The learning resource developed was integrated with the Problem-Based Learning (PBL) model on the Jimdo website platform. The validation results showed an average feasibility percentage of 84.14%, categorized as ‘highly suitable’. Teacher feedback scored 90%, and students' feedback 88.46 %, both falling into the ‘very good’ category. The evaluation results showed that students were able to compose explanatory texts in the correct structure and achieved good learning outcomes. The Ekanaru learning media, based on the Jimdo website and using the PBL model, is suitable for supporting the development of explanatory text writing skills among fifth-grade elementary school students.
