Abstract

ABSTRACT: This study explored the link between moral reasoning and behavioral action among young Zimbabwean children aged between 9 and 13 years (grade 3 – grade 7). The ultimate aim of the study was to see if sound moral reasoning leads to sound behavioral action. Such a study takes lofty significance given moral ills, such as child sexual abuse currently pervading and disintegrating the Zimbabwean society. The survey research design was used. Participants, who completed a questionnaire on moral reasoning and behavioral action, were 120 at grade 3 – grade 7 pupils randomly selected from one school in one of Harare’s high density suburbs. The results of this study showed that for the majority of the pupils (83.3%), moral reasoning was not linked to behavioral action. While the majority (90%) reported that it was strong to talk during the teacher’s absence, most of the pupils (83.3%) said that they would not tell the teacher the truth, arguing that it was wrong to betray fellow pupils. More 12-13 years old (20.8%) than 9-11 years old (9.7%) felt it is necessary to tell the teacher the truth. The study helps those individuals and institutions dealing with children to be cautious about children’s testimonies since some of them lie. Furthermore, the results of this study task the society with the responsibility of ensuring that high moral values such as justice, fairness, truthfulness, trustworthiness, and so on are not only understood by children, but are also practiced by children if society is to remain habitable.KEY WORDS: Moral, children, teacher, behavioral, reasoning, justice, fairness, truthfulness, trustworthiness, action, and Zimbabwean society.    About the Authors: Edmore Mbokochena is a Lecturer at the Department of Psychology, Women’s University in Africa, Harare, Zimbabwe; Fungai Hamilton Mudzengerere is a Research Fellow at the National University of Science and Technology, Bulawayo, Zimbabwe; and Elizabeth Chikwiri is a Dean of Studies at the Women’s University in Africa, Harare, Zimbabwe.

Abstract

ABSTRACT: In this paper, the writer calls into question the yet to be resolved epistemological issues about the way researchers make value claims in support of the authenticity of their research discoveries. The writer offers recognition to existing paradigmatic duality as a necessity for the third wave expressed by proponents of triangulation. Such dichotomy offers room for continuous divergence of opinions on the ways researchers perceive the empirical social world. The paper supports on-going argument that any discussion of the criteria for judging social and educational research findings must confront the issue of relativism. This position resonates through the writer’s encounter and experience with qualitative validity during a classroom study. The conclusion drawn through this encounter is that a research design is not made valid or reliable by the user’s ability to apply many verbose or exoteric terms. Instead such claim is made by the meanings, which the designs and the final report make to those for whom the study is conducted in terms of policy and practice.      KEY WORDS: epistemology, quantitative methods, qualitative research, validity, reliability, and generalisability.About the Author: Dr. Chinedu I.O.

Abstract

ABSTRACT: This study deals with a strategy named GD (Group Discussion) model of cooperative learning strategy applied in the teaching of critical reading course at English Study Program at the UNIBRAW (Brawijaya University) in Malang City, East Java, Indonesia. By using that strategy, it is expected that the problem in Critical Reading class can be solved and students’ ability in critical reading will, in turn, be improved. The design of the study is CAR (Classroom Action Research), since the study is aimed at improving the students’ critical reading ability and solving the classroom’s problems on the teaching of reading. Based on its characteristics, the CAR is done repeatedly until those problems can be solved. Dealing with the classroom setting, the study is directed to develop the teaching strategy in order to find out a solution to the classroom’s problem in the teaching of reading. This study reveals that cooperative learning strategy has successfully improved students’ critical reading ability. In doing so, there are stages conducted, namely: having cooperative work organization, using appropriate media, having creativity (for teachers), monitoring teaching and learning processes closely, and giving students feedback on their work. In conclusion, cooperative learning can be beneficial for students’ learning in critical reading as it can make students active and enjoy the classroom activities. However, it also has weaknesses, such as time consuming and less appropriate for classes with bigger number of students. Despite the weaknesses, teachers are still recommended to apply this strategy in Critical Reading classes.KEY WORDS: Critical Reading; Students’ Ability; Cooperative Learning; Group Discussion; Classroom Action Research.  About the Authors: Emy Sudarwati and Yana Shanti Manipuspika are the Lecturers at the Study Program of English, Faculty of Humanities UNIBRAW (Brawijaya University) in Malang City, East Java, Indonesia.

Abstract

ABSTRACT: Self-evaluation of teachers can be considered as a process of looking at teachers’ owns progress, development, and learning to determine what has improvement and what areas still need improvement. The research is aimed at finding out the effect of student evaluation of teacher based feedback on self-disclosure of secondary school teachers. This research is experimental in nature. Non-equivalent control group design, suggested by Donald T. Campbell & Julian C. Stanley (1963), was used for the experiment. Student evaluation of teacher based feedback was treatment and independent variable; self-disclosure of teachers was dependent variable; and pre – self-disclosure, pre-teaching effectiveness, and intelligence were considered as covariates. The sample of the study comprised of 70 secondary school teachers, and 220 students studying in secondary classes from purposively selected four schools of Indore city, India. The data for self-disclosure, teaching effectiveness, and intelligence were collected through standardized tools. One-way ANCOVA (Analysis of Covariance) and 2x2 factorial design ANCOVA were used for data analysis. Hypotheses were tested at level of significance with α = 0.05. It was found that the treatment has significant effect over self-disclosure of secondary school teachers when pre – self-disclosure was taken as covariate. The results also shown that self-disclosure was independent of the treatment, when intelligence and pre-teaching effectiveness was separately considered as covariates. In addition, the study of self-disclosure was also found independent of interaction between feedback and intelligence, when pre – self-disclosure was taken as covariate.KEY WORDS: Student Evaluation of Teachers; Assessment of Teaching; Assessment of Instruction; Self-Disclosure; Secondary School Teachers.  About the Authors: Nilesh Kumar Patel is Principal at the Vidyasagar College, Indore City, India; Head of Department at the IGNOU (Indira Gandhi National Open University) Study Center 1558 (P); and VT (Visiting Team) member in NCTE (National Council for Teacher Education): A Statutory Body of Government of India, in New Delhi, India.

Abstract

ABSTRACT: The study was aimed at exposing the result of reinterpretation and reformulation of Sundanese educational philosophy in traditional idiomatic expressions. Traditional idiomatic expressions are plastic-aesthetic words having connotative meanings. The structures and sounds of words in traditional idiomatic expressions do not change from one generation to another. This study applied descriptive method. Bibliographic study, intuition, elicitation, and questionnaires were used to get data. The data were, then, analyzed using hermeneutic method by immediate constituent analysis. This study found that traditional idiomatic expressions implied high moral values and reflected local wisdom, particularly those dealing with character building. Philosophically, character building or education process involved education trident or three education practice, i.e. planning, implementation, and evaluation. Besides, the values of Sundanese education practice consisted of the objective, methodology, teachers and students, media and learning materials, and evaluation. Education should start as early as possible, so that the result could be gained when one reached his or her adulthood (“kudu guguru ti lelembut, diajar ti bubudak, geus gede kari makena”). The teachers and students should be caring and attentive (“silih asah, silih asih, silih asuh”). Thus, it would create “jelema masagi” (complete people) who were well-rounded; and “legok tapak genteng kadek” (had a lot of experiences), and “cageur, bageur, bener, pinter, singer, tur pangger” (had the qualities of being healthy, morally-right, intellectual, skillful, and tough).

Abstract

ABSTRACT: Indigenous environmental management for sustainability is about the particularity of place, cultural, and spiritual values woven through knowledge of wildlife, forest trees, water, and land. Indigenous values associated with natural resources utilization and conservation might defy some scientific standards as they emphasize symbolic values to indigenous identity, customary law, and environmental philosophy. Symbolic values strengthen belief to indigenous knowledge, which are priceless and are handed down from one generation to the next through apprenticeship or direct participation. Beliefs and knowledge systems require an indigenous perspective to be relevant for use, so databases from every indigenous peoples group need to be appropriately designed for specific users. This study aimed to ascertain how the Agta of Lupigue, Ilagan City, Isabela in the Philippines utilize and conserve the natural resources in their domain. The ethnographic research was used to realize the purpose of this study. In-depth interview and participant observation were rendered to gather information. A review of documentary materials and readings was done to enrich the researchers’ knowledge of the culture, knowledge systems, and practices of the respondents. Findings revealed that the Agta are consistent with their home-grown ways of using, protecting, and managing sustainably the ancestral lands and resources that have prevailed upon their identity as a people, despite the onset of science and technology. Indigenous environmental management for sustainability could be achieved by recognizing and understanding indigenous knowledge of natural resources.KEY WORDS: Indigenous Peoples; Environmental Management; Cultural and Spiritual Values; Sustainability; Indigenous Knowledge of Natural Resources.    About the Authors: Marites C.

Abstract

ABSTRACT: This research is aimed at knowing whether or not role play is effective in improving students’ ability in speaking with “krama” variant in Javanese language. This is developmental research taking the eighth-year students of SMP Negeri (State Junior High School) 2 in Purwokerto, Central Java, Indonesia, of the academic year of 2006/2007 as the sample. This research was done in two cycles in CAR (Classroom Action Research), each of which consisted of planning, acting, observing, and reflecting. Each acting stage took 2 x 40 minutes. The data was collected using test, observation, interview, and journal in each cycle. The data was analyzed quantitatively and qualitatively. The initial mean score of students’ ability of using “krama” variant in Javanese language was 64.5. After the first cycle, it became 67.42 which was categorized as fair. After the second, it was 73 and categorized as good, above the Minimum Competence Criterion. It can therefore be concluded that role play can improve the ability in using “krama” variant of the Javanese language of students of SMP Negeri 2 Purwokerto. Process increase can be seen from students’ skill in implementing the steps of role play to improve the ability of speaking which is increasing, while productivity improvement can be seen from the grade of role play.KEY WORDS: Role play, “krama” variant in Javanese language, CAR (Classroom Action Research), and improving the ability.About the Author: Isnaeni Praptanti, M.Pd. is a Lecturer at the Faculty of Education and Teacher Training UMP (Muhammadiyah University of Purwokerto), Jalan Raya Dukuhwaluh, Purwokerto, Central Java, Indonesia.

Abstract

ABSTRACT: The implementation of new curriculum into the teaching of English in Indonesia requires new ways of doing classroom practices. This article is intended to prtesent the result of a research conducted by a team of researchers (Suherdi, Yusuf & Muslim, 2007) in an SMA (Sekolah Menengah Atas or Senior High School) in Bandung, West Java, Indonesia to ascertain the effectiveness of the use of quality pedagogic language in improving students’ achievement in English. For that purpose, an experiment has bee done in a first grade class. Using a quasi-experimental design, the class has been taught using the language thus far used by the teacher in the first six meetings, and using the quality pedagogic language in the following six meetings. Prior to the first meetings, a pre-test was conducted to ascertain students’ learning achivement before the treatment. Then, a post-test was conducted at the end of the experiment. The result of the data analysis showed that there was a significant difference between the pre-test and post-test means in the English competence, and no difference in those of their effective factors. Possible explanations to these unlinear patterns of findings have been presented and relevant recommendations have been given both for theoretical and practical aspects of English teaching, especially in schooling system.KEY WORDS: Pedagogic language, teachers’ questions, feedback, pauses, discourse analysis, affective factors, and teaching of English.About the Author: Prof. Dr. H.
