Abstract

ABSTRACT: For most Indonesian students, Mathematics is still regarded as a difficult and scaring subject compared to other subjects. Therefore, there should be a learning strategy which can empower all the available potential to achieve the learning objectives as a whole. In relation to the learning process of Mathematics, the choice of learning strategy is also based on the achievement of the learning objectives. One way of realizing that is through the use of quantum learning. The aim of this research is: (1) to find out the effectiveness of quantum learning for teaching mathematics; and (2) to analyze the difference the result of quantum learning and that of the conventional one. Two classes of grade X were randomly taken as sample out of five available, one class being the experimental group and the other control. This random sampling was due to the fact that students are distributed evenly on ability basis. Data was taken using test and non-test techniques (observation and questionnaire). To find out the effectiveness of this quantum learning, descriptive analysis was used toward: (1) student’s activity during the learning process; (2) the teacher’s ability in managing the learning process; (3) student’s response toward the learning model; and (4) the student’s mastery. While ANAKOVA inferential analysis was used to test the difference on the learning achievement. The result of the two analysis were that quantum learning was effective and there was significant difference in which the quantum learning gave a better learning achievement than the conventional one. KEY WORDS: Teaching and learning effectiveness, Mathematics subject, quantum learning concept, and modern and conventional learning.  About the Authors: Kusno, M.Pd. and Joko Purwanto, M.Si. are Lecturers at the Department of Mathematics Education, Faculty of Education and Teacher Training UMP (Muhammadiyah University of Purwokerto), Jalan Raya Dukuhwaluh, PO Box 202, Purwokerto 53182, Central Java, Indonesia.

Abstract

ABSTRACT: A questionnaire was formulated to collect data on euthanasia procedures and routines in farmed mink. The principle aim was to clarify the extent and functionality of the main killing methods, i.e. filtered exhaust and cylinder CO (carbon monoxide) and cylinder CO2 (carbon dioxide). The questionnaire was sent to 397 mink farms in Finland and to 143 in the Netherlands. The final response rates were 34.3% for Finland and 24.5% for the Netherlands. The farms in the Netherlands were typically larger than those in Finland. The preferred method of euthanasia in the Netherlands is cylinder CO, which has been shown to work well in that countrys farming system. In Finland, the filtered exhaust CO killing method has a long history, and farmers have grown accustomed to using this special method. The results were as follows: 20.0% of farmers listened outside the killing box, and when there was no sound, they presumed the animals were dead; 20.0% of farmers checked the state of the animals through the inspection window of the box before opening it; 80.0% of farmers waited for 5 minutes or more after the last mink was put into the box before emptying it; 45.7% farmers inspected each individual mink when emptying the box, checking for breathing and movement; and 14.3%  of farmers inspected the mink at the cooling site, checking for breathing and movement. The replies to our questionnaire study suggest that farmers consider that all three euthanasia methods, cylinder CO, cylinder CO2 and filtered exhaust CO are effective and useful ways of killing mink in farming practice.KEY WORDS: Mustela vison, killing methods, social welfare, gas euthanasia, fur farming, and Finland and Netherlands’ farmers. About the Authors: Hannu T.

Abstract

ABSTRACT: Technology is the main support for the students learning developments nowadays. With shifting from the teacher-centred instruction to child-centred instruction, the role, activities, attitudes, reflections of the students become more important concern to overlook the effectiveness of technology in instruction. Computers are the main technology support as a tool for effective learning and teaching process. Computer based instruction and computers programs, tools as itself, provides much facilities and supports to students’ educational life. Computers are update mechanism for the education and it is not only for education, these developments affect all global, cultural and economical life standards as well. The computer as productivity tool has great role in education. So, computers have become a necessary part of our life. We are using computers in every aspect of our life. But, there are many villages in India which are very much far from computers. How this absence of computer technology affects attitude of students of rural background? This study strives to find answer of this question. A sample consisting of 50 male and 50 female undergraduate students of AMU (Aligarh Muslim University) was selected. Their attitude was assessed through computer attitude scale constructed by T. Khatoon & M. Sharma (2011). After analysis of data, it was found that rural and urban students, both rural and urban undergraduate students, have favourable attitude towards computer, but rural girls showed less favourable attitude than urban girls.KEY WORDS: Computer, students learning, attitude towards computer, undergraduate students, rural and urban students, gender, and favourable and less favourable attitudes.About the Author: Anant Kumar Varshney is a Research Scholar at the Department of Education AMU (Aligarh Muslim University) in Aligarh, Uttar Pradesh, India.

Abstract

ABSTRACT: There are various ways to use mobile phones for enhancing learning. Mobile phones plays an important role in our day today lives in various purposes. One of the important purposes is learning. Mobile learning, as a novel educational approach, encourages flexibility; students do not need to be a specific age, gender, or member of a specific group or geography, to participate in learning opportunities. Restrictions of time, space, and place have been lifted. Mobile learning is an emerging concept as the development of an adoption rate of mobile technologies increase rapidly on a global scale. While there are as many people using mobile technologies as there are opinions on how mobile technologies will impact e-learning, the majority agrees that mobile learning will play a major role in e-learning. In the present study, the investigators made an attempt to study the attitude of PG (Post Graduate) students of Sidho-Kanho-Birsha University in Purulia District of West Bengal, India. The descriptive survey method was used. One hundred and fifty students (both male and female) reading in Semesters-2nd and 4th were taken as representative sample of the whole population. An attitude scale was used for collecting the data. The means of both groups were tested for significance of difference by using CR (Constructed-Response) test. Results indicated that the attitudes of PG male and female, rural and urban, General and SC/ST (Scheduled Castes/Scheduled Tribes), Semester-2nd and 4th students were statistically not significant. The attitude of PG Arts and Science students was statistically significant and the attitude of PG students towards mobile learning was neither more favourable nor unfavourable, but satisfactory or average.KEY WORDS: Attitude; Mobile Learning; Post Graduate Student; Satisfactory; Enhancing Learning.  About the Authors: Kusum Fouzdar is M.A. Student at the Department of Education, Sidho-Kanho-Birsha University, Purulia, West Bengal 723104, India.

Abstract

ABSTRACT: Formative Assessment (FA) and Summative Assessment (SA) constitute two indispensable parts of any effective assessment system. As FA was proposed as an alternative to SA, there has been an academic concern about their relationship since the birth of these two concepts. Although many well-known studies have been carried out for FA, or, SA, or both, there has been contrasting views and misunderstandings about the relationship between FA and SA. It is argued in this paper that the confused relationship between FA and SA stems from the fact that it is either conceptualized from the perspective of function or from the perspective of process alone. The relation between FA and SA is very fine, far from clear-cut and a clarified relation between them is necessary for both our right understanding of FA and SA as well as the realization of the balance between FA and SA in practice as advocated by many educational policies. This paper aims to: (1) carry out an analysis of the function-based perspective and process-based perspective; and (2) re-conceptualize the relationship between them by combining the two perspectives together. The study results suggest that: (1) both FA and SA are, first of all, assessment and therefore share the same neutral assessment processes of elicitation of learning evidence, interpretation of evidence, and use of assessment results; (2) the purpose governs the how each process should be carried out and the extent to which summative or formative function is performed depends the how the processes are carried out; and (3) formative use of SA is more feasible than summative use of FA in practice.KEY WORDS: Relationship between formative assessments, function perspective, process perspective, contrasting views, misunderstandings, and re-conceptualize.About the Author: Huang Jian is a Lecturer at the School of Foreign Studies CUFE (Central University of Finance and Economics) in Beijing, China.

Abstract

ABSTRACT: It is used to discuss multiculturalism comes from liberal philosophy since the latest improvement of the multiculturalism ideas occur in liberalism society like American and European. To understand the meaning of multiculturalism, however, culture is viewed as a dynamic process of human adaptation toward their historical journey as the way to defense their life through a sympathetic involvement in understanding and responding the world. The connection of multiculturalism to liberalism ideas shows that multiculturalism is a further improvement of political philosophy of liberalism, or it may be also inferred that multiculturalism is an antithesis toward liberal political theory itself. However, the ideas of multiculturalism also develop in Islamic tradition. The basic multiculturalism concept in Islam can be traced in daily life of plural society during the Medina government under the Prophet Muhammad SAW (peace be upon him)’s authority and furthermore continued by the next generation. The distinctions of multiculturalism concepts between liberal and Islamic perspectives can be an interesting topic to discuss as an effort to enrich multiculturalism understanding that now becomes a real challenging idea in this globalization era.KEY WORDS: multiculturalism, tolerance, equality, cultural diversity, and liberalism and Islamic perspectives.About the Author: Dr. Isnarmi Moeis is a Lecturer at the Department of Civic Education, Faculty of Social Sciences UNP (State University of Padang), Jalan Prof. Dr. Hamka Kampus UNP Air Tawar, Padang 25131, West Sumatera, Indonesia.

Abstract

ABSTRACT: Environmental degradation has been a problem, which needs to be address to meet sustainability. It is important to consider the balance between human activity development and environmental protection requires a sharing of responsibilities that can be equated with the behaviour towards the environment and natural resources. Preservation of the environment is one of the concerns of the Philippines government through the DENR (Department of Environment and Natural Resources). However, it will be a great help if every citizens will be involved most especially the youth. There are some studies conducted about environmental preservation with different outcomes, such as modified environmental awareness scale; development of lesson exemplars; modular package on environmental awareness protection and conservation, etc. Aiming to produce an environmental advocacy program, this study was conducted to promote the environmental awareness of the students through active participation in the different environmental programs and activities through the joint effort of the participating school’s organization. The descriptive method of research was used in this study, which looked into the environmental awareness and practices of the selected fourth year high school students in the Philippines. The instrument of EAS (Environmental Awareness Scale) was modified to give emphasis on the environmental problems and issues evident at present. Findings of the study were the basis for development of an environmental advocacy program.KEY WORDS: Environmental Awareness; High School Students in the Philippines; Environmental Awareness Scale; Environmental Practices; Advocacy Program.About the Author: Jenny P.

Abstract

ABSTRACT: Arabic is indispensably necessary, especially in the Muslim-majority in Indonesia. However, it takes a lot of time to acquire Arabic, since there are various linguistic branches to learn for anyone who wishes to fluently understand it. On the top of that, Arabic has different characteristics from those of the Indonesian language. The present study was based on the results of a preliminary study that show a significant lack of Arabic teaching innovation, when compared with the teaching of other foreign languages, especially English. The purpose was to figure out the concept of Arabic teaching in the “Ma’had Jami’i” in terms of its objective, process, evaluation, issues, and challenges. To this end, an embedded case study was carried out. The data sources included informants, teaching activities, and documents. The data were analyzed using data source triangulation and an interactive model of method triangulation. The results show that the objective of Arabic teaching was to equip students with Arabic knowledge and skills in order for them to be able to keep up with the lesson and practice Arabic in university classrooms; the teaching process was theory and practice-oriented to create a conducive language learning environment; the evaluation was conducted through written and performance tests during the placement test, midterm test, and final test; and the teaching challenges lay in the psychological, educational, and social aspects. It is recommended that further studies deal with students’ interactions, second language acquisition, interference problem, and teaching components, specifically in the context of language dormitory.KEY WORDS:  Second Language Acquisition; “Ma’had Jami’i” Dormitory; Arabic Teaching Innovation; Students of Islamic State University; Total Immersion.  About the Authors: Prof. Dr. Maman Abdurahman, Prof. Dr. Rahman, and Dr. Ely Sa’diah are the Lecturers at the Faculty of Language and Literature Education UPI (Indonesia University of Education), Jalan Dr. Setiabudhi No.229 Bandung 40154, West Java, Indonesia.

Abstract

ABSTRACT: Bullying is a global phenomenon with devastating consequences for the victims, their families, and the societies at large. Bullying is a serious social ill; a lived experience capable of turning individuals within a given society into social misfits with long-term implications. This paper reflects on the account of the stories by some Nigerian school girls of their classroom experiences in a heterogeneous school setting. Aspects of the deliberations from among the 25 girls (and 25 boys as well) who took part in the study are employed in this paper to interrogate how gendered bullying played into the girls’ perceptions of their classroom. Results from the study show that within co-educational classroom, girls are more likely to be bully-victims than boys. Results also revealed that boys are more likely to be perpetrators of bullying than girls in a mixed-sex classroom. Bullying as lived experience, therefore, emerges in the study as a form of belligerent masculinity; and is germane to the understanding of the girl participants’ submissive posture as they struggled for space and identity within the classroom in complex and subtle ways. The implications of this for co-education and co-educational policy-making are highlighted and recommendations for changes in policy and practice are equally suggested.    KEY WORDS: Schooling, classroom bullying, girls’ participation, gender, Nigerian school girls, and co-education and co-educational policy-making.About the Author: Chinedu I.O.
