Abstract

This research delves into the intricacies of imperative politeness within the Kaledupa dialect of the Wakatobi language (KDWL), focusing on both its forms and influencing factors. By employing a descriptive qualitative approach from a pragmatic perspective, the study meticulously gathers data through observation, moderate participatory recording, and note-taking techniques. The findings indicate that politeness in KDWL imperatives is manifested through several linguistic features: the length of utterances, the structuring of speech where non-imperative information often precedes the imperative command, variations in intonation, and the use of kinesic signals such as gestures. These elements combine to create a nuanced system of politeness that is sensitive to the context in which the imperative is delivered. Moreover, the study identifies a range of social and cultural factors that influence how politeness is expressed in KDWL imperatives. These include power dynamics and social status, which dictate the level of formality and deference required; kinship and social relationships, which influence the degree of familiarity or respect in the language used; and group membership and gender, which further modulate the appropriateness of certain forms. Additionally, the nature of the speech situation, the role of customary institutions, and adherence to cultural norms play significant roles in shaping polite imperatives. Indecisiveness also emerges as a factor, suggesting that the speaker’s confidence can impact the politeness strategy employed. Together, these findings underscore the complex interplay between linguistic and social elements in the KDWL, providing a comprehensive understanding of how politeness is constructed and maintained in this linguistic community.

Abstract

Integrating game aspects into non-gaming environments, or "gamification," has become a potent technique in education that can make conventional teaching methods more engaging. Gamification has shown promise in the field of language education for improving a variety of skills, including writing. This study aimed to know whether the use of the gamification teaching method has a significant effect on the students’ writing skills and their attitudes toward the method. This study used a pre-experimental method with a one-group pre-test and post-test design. A writing test was used to determine the students’ writing skills before and after using the gamification teaching method. Meanwhile, a questionnaire was used to determine the students’ attitudes toward the method. The result of this study shows that the mean score of the pre-test was 52.5714, and the mean score of the post-test was 70.2875. The result of the questionnaire also indicates that the use of the gamification teaching method helps students write descriptive texts and engages them in the learning process. It can be inferred that students' writing skills have improved, and they exhibit a highly positive attitude when taught using the gamification teaching method.

Abstract

This research investigates students' perceptions of the teaching skills of teaching assistant (TA) tertiary students from the English Education Study Program at the University of Sulawesi Barat, conducted at SMA Negeri 1 Majene. The study aims to assess how well these TA tertiary students perform in key teaching areas, including lesson opening and closing, explaining, questioning, providing reinforcement, introducing variety, guiding small group discussions, and classroom management. Using a qualitative approach, data were collected via questionnaires based on a Likert scale, complemented by guided interviews for qualitative insights. The findings reveal that TA tertiary students received high ratings in explaining (92%), questioning (84%), and classroom management (85%), with an overall average rating of 81.37%, categorized as "very good". While students appreciated the enthusiasm and clarity TA tertiary students brought to lessons, they identified areas for improvement, such as maintaining classroom order, enhancing reinforcement techniques, and diversifying teaching methods. The study underscores the importance of targeted support and continuous development for TA tertiary students to enhance their teaching efficacy and better meet students' diverse needs.

Abstract

The aim of this research is to find out the relationship between work stress and job satisfaction among Indonesian National Police (Polri) officers at Polrestabes Palembang. Job satisfaction is the level of contentment or discontent an employee feels with their work, whereas work stress is the reaction a person has to demands that exceed their capability. The poll's Likert scale was used to measure how stressed and satisfied workers were with their jobs. For the sample, 155 officers of Polrestabes Palembang were selected through the technique of purposeful random selection. The Kolmogorov-Smirnov normality and linearity tests were used to validate the data. Using basic regression analysis, the result proved that there is a highly significant negative correlation (r = -0.933) between job stress and job satisfaction, with a significance level of p = 0.000 (p < 0.01). According to these results, 87% of the variance in job satisfaction may be attributed to job stress, with the remaining 13% being influenced by factors that are yet unclear. The results of the study demonstrate that among Palembang resort police station officers, higher job stress is substantially correlated with poorer job satisfaction, underscoring the need for management to address and mitigate stressors in order to improve job satisfaction.

Abstract

The study examined the influence of family and school environment on the English language skills of early childhood children at “TK Al-Falah Balombong”. The main objective of this research was to identify the factors hindering English language learning in that place, as well as to determine the extent of children’s interest to know, learn, understand, and master English. This research used a qualitative method with a descriptive approach. We found that the family and school environment at “TK Al-Falah Balombong” was not optimal in supporting English language learning. This could be seen from the language they often used at home and in their community, their local language and Indonesian, as well as the gadgets provided by their parents that did not focus on English language learning. The school also lacked competent English language teachers and adequate supporting facilities. Despite these limitations, the children showed high enthusiasm when the researchers introduced English through engaging methods such as songs and animations. To optimize this potential, interactive approaches, competent teachers, and parental support are needed to facilitate their children's English learning.

Abstract

This study explores students' perspectives on critical reading, a crucial skill for academic success and intellectual development, focusing on fourth-semester undergraduates at STKIP YPUP Makassar. By analyzing their responses, the research identifies key factors influencing their engagement with critical reading practices. Although students reported a degree of confidence in their critical reading skills, they encountered significant challenges, including limited vocabulary, difficulty understanding complex texts, and inadequate resources. These findings highlight a disconnect between students' perceived abilities and their actual performance, suggesting that their confidence may not fully reflect their competencies in critical reading. The study underscores the need for improved teaching methods to address these challenges effectively. It suggests that educators should develop more targeted instructional strategies and provide additional resources to support students in overcoming their difficulties with critical reading. Given the students' reliance on teacher guidance, enhancing instructional practices is essential for helping them build stronger critical reading skills. The implications of these findings are significant for curriculum development and instructional practices in higher education, offering valuable insights for creating more effective approaches to foster critical reading skills and support students' academic success.

Abstract

Adolescence is a  period of child development towards the adult phase where  emotional behavior is still changing and a period of self-discovery. At this time adolescents must be able to control emotions and get good parenting support. The purpose of the study was to explain empirically and theoretically the relationship  between toxic parenting and the emotional behavior of adolescents in class XI at SMAN 1 Merapi Barat. Researchers used quantitative methods with simple random sampling techniques with a sample population of 119 with an age range of 16-18 years. Data analysis was carried out using statistical tests, the measuring instruments used were the emotional behavior scale and the toxic parenting scale. The results showed that there is a very significant relationship between toxic parenting and emotional behavior of adolescent children with a correlation value of R = 0.759 with a Rsquare value = 0.576 P = 0.000 (P < 0.01). The amount of effective contribution given by the toxic parenting variable to emotional behavior is R2 = 0.576 (57.6%).  So there are still 42.4% of the influence of other factors related to emotional behavior.
