Abstract

The issue of quality is always a significant one and it will continue to be one of the predominant points of debate in education. Through a qualitative method, this study aimed to explore the experiences and the meaning that senior high school students faced in the national standardized exam for English subject. The data were collected by demographic background questionnaire and in-depth interviews with fifteen participants. The demographic data were analyzed descriptively, while the interviews were analyzed by within-case and cross-case analyses. The results of the data analysis revealed several themes such as cheating as bad consequences in the national standardized exam, it is like a yearly educational festival and formality, sharpening students memories, spending much money and time for English extra classes, dishonesty: spreading the key answer illegally, teachers more focus on the national exam, it is like a symbol of government power. Recommendations for taking some actions regarding the effect of the national standardized exam are offered.

Abstract

Educators and educational personnel as the key actors in education who have a direct effect on the education process must be able to provide the best performance so that the education process runs as expected. This brings about the importance of improving the quality of educators and educational personnel that is adjusted to the demands and progress of the times. Sadly, this has not yet been fully carried out by educational policy-makers. Improving the quality of educators and educational personnel is mostly done without a through comprehensive analysis. This study aimed to develop a strategic planning as an effort to improve the quality of educators and educational personnel based on an analysis of the internal and external conditions of the school. This research was a qualitative study conducted at a vocational high school in West Java. Participants were the school principal, vice-principals, and teachers. Data were collected through interviews and documents. Data were analyzed by presenting data, reducing data, and drawing conclusions. This study was conducted through FGDs and a SWOT analysis for determining positions and determining strategic issues. The results showed that the school's position was in quadrant I (with an aggressive strategy) which showed a potential position to develop. This study recommends that several steps can be used to improve the quality of educators and educational personnel.

Abstract

Current medical education curriculum refers to the Indonesian Medical Doctor’s Standard of Competence 2012. Competencies are detailed in seven general areas of competence to be achieved by medical students. This study focused on the development of learning media in the form of guide book and video related to the basic obstetric ultrasound examination and its influence in improving student’s knowledge of basic obstetric examination skills. A quantitative method used to see the effectiveness of the learning media that we developed. Twenty-one under graduate medical students who undertook clinical rotation in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology participated in this study through completing the pre-post student’s questionnaires to assess the students' knowledge before and after the delivery of learning media. The collected data were analyzed with a computer program; Means and Standard Deviation were calculated as descriptive parameters. Parametric tests were used to test the hypotheses. The pre-post results were compared using the Wilcoxon statistical test. The results showed a significant difference in the score of pretest and posttest. There was an increase in the average score of pretest and posttest for students after obtaining the teaching media and clinical supervision. The value of each individual was also increased. The analysis with the Wilcoxon statistical test showed significant differences which mean that there were improvements on student’s knowledge of basic obstetric examination skills after the delivery of guide book and video. The use of teaching media in the form of basic obstetric ultrasound module and video contributed to positive results to improve the student’s knowledge.

Abstract

Verbal fluency (VF) task is a tool that has been utilized in bilingual studies to measure executive performance of bilingual individuals. While many of the previous studies compared bilingual speakers’ performance in VF to their monolingual counterparts, this descriptive study compares exclusively the cross-linguistic VF performance of Indonesian bilinguals in their first (L1), second (L2), and third language (L3). The aim of this study was to see whether or not there were any differences in the result of their performance in each of their languages. The participants of the current study were 25 non-native bilingual university students in Indonesia who speak English in at least intermediate level. Javanese is the L1 of the participants. Indonesian is their L2, whereas English is their L3. In the VF task, the participants were requested to generate, in a rapid fashion, semantic category and phonemic category in their L1, L2, and L3. The results showed that the participants’ VF performance in English and standard Indonesian were significantly higher (p < .05) than Javanese. However, no significant difference was indicated when comparing the semantic category and phonemic category in all three languages. The findings of this study will be used as a basis for a forthcoming study on VF performance of Indonesian bilinguals.

Abstract

Ecosystem concepts are not a science that is far from daily life. Therefore, teachers need an innovation that can support students’ mastery of the ecosystem concept. This study aims to analyze the influence of the CirGi (Cooperative Integrated Reading, Composition, and Guided Inquiry) learning model on the learners’ ecosystem concept mastery. This research uses a quasi-experiment method with a pre-post control group design with a sample of 104 students. Data collection is carried out using an instrument of ecosystem concept mastery in the form of multiple choices so that questions could cover all the materials. The data analysis technique used is an independent sample t-test. The conclusion of this study is that there is a significant influence of CirGi’s learning model on the learners’ mastery of ecosystem concept. The application of CirGi learning model on ecosystem material can revive reading activities along with environmental awareness.

Abstract

This study investigated eight pre-service English teachers’ first experiences in conducting mini-research analyzed using four stages of Kolb Experiential Learning Cycle, consisting of Concrete Experience (CE), Reflective Observation (RO), Abstract Conceptualisation (AC), and Active Experimentation (AE) stages. It was conducted to fill the void in studies in the area of research methods instruction in the English as Second Language (ESL) context. The study used qualitative analysis on secondary data in the forms of student reflections. Through Thematic Analysis, this study found five themes. From three themes of experiences, it was found that the participants’ experiences were mainly in the first three stages of the cycle, CE, RO, and AC. Only two of the five themes suggested that the participants had achieved, to certain extent, AE stage, characterized with decision-making and problem solving, which may be attributed to the participants’ being beginner researchers who still needed more experiences in research.

Abstract

The study aimed to reveal how the teacher performance evaluation methods implemented by a private Catholic senior high school in Malang, East Java facilitated its English teachers towards their professional developments. This study employed a case study approach. The data from the participants - three senior English language teachers, two students, the school principal, vice principal, the head of Human Resources Development Section and supervisor from foundation were collected through semi-structured interviews. All data were analyzed qualitatively. The results revealed that the school employed five evaluation methods, namely, evaluation by students, self-evaluation, and evaluation by peers, evaluation by superior and supervision. The methods employed by the school provided positive impacts on the English teachers’ professional development, although the results of the evaluations did not serve as the main guideline for the school to include the teachers in development activities. The school carried out evaluation to ensure its teacher performance standard and the instruments to conduct the evaluation were always reviewed and adjusted to school culture and authentic conditions. The researchers suggest that the teachers should have their initiatives and build their agency to develop themselves professionally.

Abstract

Insight into students’ behaviour and interaction is essential when it comes to improving the development and implementation of educational policies. Content analysis is a staple method to study online communication. However, there seems to be no clear reference for researchers to decide which approach is suitable to address a particular purpose. So, this study aims to recommend the most suitable content analysis approach for SNS research. This study extracted relevant studies from open-access databases and analysed the full-texts with NVivo 12. From a raw data collection of 120 texts, this study identified 19 approaches. This study recommends four approaches which are ideal to study cyberbullying among students in the higher education context, specifically on the types, styles, motives, and solutions of cyberbullying. First is Neuendorf’s descriptive content analysis approach to study about the types. Second is Hijmans’ rhetorical content analysis to study the styles. Third is Hsieh and Shannon’s directed content analysis approach to study the motives. Fourth is Miles and Huberman’s collaborative social content analysis to study the solutions. These four approaches have different focuses that seem to be the perfect match to study different aspects of online interaction on SNS, particularly in the context of cyberbullying.
