Abstract

The teacher before carrying out the teaching and learning process must make a learning implementation plan (RPP). Making lesson plans before the teaching process is very important because it serves as a teacher's guide in carrying out learning in the classroom. There are still teacher problems in preparing lesson plans. The study aims to develop a HOTS-oriented thematic learning implementation plan (RPP) is to increase the main values of strengthening character education (PPK) for class IV students. This study used an experimental group of 10 students related to the implementation of HOTS-oriented thematic lesson plans in increasing student independence. Interviews, observations, and written documentation are the three primary methods of data gathering used in this investigation. Both qualitative and quantitative methods of data analysis are used in this process. The results of this study explain that the application of HOTS-oriented thematic lesson plans is proven to be able to significantly increase student independence. The advice that can be conveyed from the results of this study is the need for teacher support in planning, implementing, and evaluating the application of HOTS-oriented thematic lesson plans. Considering that this research was only carried out in an effort to increase student independence, future research can apply HOTS-oriented thematic lesson plans aimed at increasing learning achievement or other abilities in students.

Abstract

Language acquisition is a process that takes place in a child's brain when he acquires his first language or mother tongue which means language acquisition in relation to his first language. This study aims to analyze the acquisition of Indonesian phonology in Down syndrome children. This study was conducted on 5 Down syndrome, age range of 6-9 years.  This study use Blumstein's theory of speech changes is used to determine the change of speech sounds and Jacobson's theory is used to determine the acquisition of phonology Indonesian and Jean Piaget's theory is used to describe the language development of them. The method used is proficient and record. It was found that the five respondents in pronouncing several words there was a change in the sound of speech, namely sound Deletion (Omision), sound addition (Addition), and sound replacement (Substitution). They have also acquired some of the Indonesian vowel sounds [i], [ u], [e], [o] and [a]. They can produce several vowels sounds either at the beginning, middle or end words. There are some consonants that have been acquired Indonesian and there are some consonant sounds that have not been obtained, [w], [f]. [z], and [h]. The phonological development is the stage of holoprastic. Their chronological age is 6 to 9 years, but the age of language acquisition is equivalent to the age of two years.
