These concepts or ideas of solidarity are all pertaining to Durkheim’s mechanical type of solidarity.

All these ideas or concepts of tolerance and solidarity are conceptualized metaphorically, i.e, with comparison to natural phenomena, including wild-life both marine and agricultural. The concepts of tolerance and solidarity lessons are communally up-held in daily life of the community and are taught and transmitted from generations to generations via folk songs, tales and puzzles.

Abstract

This article discusses some philosophically crucial issues of lives of any people in general, of university students in particular. First, it argues that to succeed in their lives, people have to have a clear imagination of their future, that is, what kind of life it is that they want to have in the years to come (i.e. an ontological issue). Such a dream, however, must be based on their understanding of their potentials or, in Howard Gardner’s term (1993), their major intelligence(s). If not, they will fail, no matter how hard/smart they try to succeed. Hence comes the second issue, that is, how people can make such a dream, which is the bigger the better, true in their lives (i.e. an epistemological issue). Knowing ones’ strengths, however, is just a part of their success stories; it is not sufficient because they must also believe in themselves (i.e. autosuggestion), that is, if they work/learn a bit harder/smarter (i.e. being total in working/learning), they will succeed. Third, it gives some reasons why it is important for people to succeed (i.e. an axiological issue), that is, success is good not only for those who succeed, but also for others, i.e., those who have been marginalised in their societies: the poor, the oppressed, and the voiceless. It is for those reasons that all should try their best to succeed, let alone university students as future leaders.

Abstract

The aims of this research were to find out the students' ability in learning degrees of comparison by implementing the flipped classroom method. The tenth-grade students of SMA Kristen Pandhega Jaya, Indonesia were chosen as the subject of this research. The method used in this study is quantitative and qualitative methods and the research design was Classroom Action Research (CAR) in one cycle. The techniques of data collection were pre and post-test, observation sheets, focus group discussion, and field notes. The data were analyzed quantitatively and qualitatively. The results show that the students’ scores increased significantly from pre-test to post-test. In pre-test, only 3.33% student reached the Minimum Mastery Criteria, while in post-test it changed to 90%. Besides, the students’ mean score also improved from 30.4 to 81.4. This improvement happened because students pre-learned the materials, the learning it self was student-centered, and the flipped classroom was recycled. In summary, the flipped classroom model can improve the students’ ability in learning degrees of comparison.

Abstract

This research is conducted to answer how compounds in the dialect are formed. At the end of this research, it shows some educational implications. The research method used was descriptive qualitative in which data collection methods used were observations, interviews, and documentary studies. The informants interviewed were native speakers from Ngeri village and the documents studied have been taken from some textbooks written in Central Manggarai dialect. It was found that there are seven kinds of compounds in Central Manggarai Dialect formed by combining two words with different meanings and different classes, namely: 1) noun and noun compounding; 2) noun and adjective compounding; 3) noun and verb compounding; 4) noun and adverb compounding; 5) verb and noun compounding; and, 6) verb and adjective compounding; and, 7) adjective and noun compounding. For Manggaraian children learning such languages as Indonesian and English, it is important that when teaching those languages, their teachers teach those forms of compounding and their meanings by comparing how they are formed in Manggarai language to how they are formed in such languages as Indonesian and English and by explicitly teaching what their meanings are. By relying on their understanding of such forms and meanings of compounding in Manggarai language, it is hoped that they can understand how such forms of compounding are also formed in other languages.

Abstract

Students' English speaking ability in schools in general is still low. There are various affecting factors. Some most obvious factors include limited English exposure to students in class (classroom language) and students’ motivation to learn English. English language exposure which is very important in foreign language learning is limited. Then, it is necessary to find a strategy which is potential to provide more English language exposure and motivation for students. This study aimed to examine: (1) the difference in speaking ability between students taught with the learning strategy on the bases of classroom language and those taught with conventional learning strategy; (2) the difference in speaking ability between students having high motivation and those having low motivation; (3) interaction effect of the learning strategy on the basis of classroom language and motivation to students' speaking ability. This study used a quasi-experimental research design. In particular, it employed factorial 2x2 version non-equivalent control group. The subjects were the twelfth grade students of SMA Negeri 5 Kupang, Indonesia. Two classes were randomly chosen, one as experimental group and the other as control group. Contextual learning strategy on the basis of classroom language was applied in experimental class whereas conventional learning strategy was used in control class. Data taken from both classes were then descriptively and statistically analyzed (ANOVA) using SPSS version 16.0 for windows. Results showed that (1) there was a significant difference in speaking ability between students in experimental group and those in control group. Contextual learning strategy on the basis of classroom language was more effective; (2) there was a significant difference in speaking ability between students in high motivation group and those in low motivation group. High motivation students were more successful; (3) there was no interaction effect of learning strategy based on classroom language and motivation to students' ability of speaking. Based on these results, teachers of English in general and those teaching at SMAN 5 Kupang in particular are recommended to use classroom language that provides more language exposure and motivation for students.
