Abstract

As the situation of the Covid-19 pandemic in Indonesia is gradually recovering, schools may reopen for limited face-to-face learning under particular measures during this transition period to the post-pandemic. This study aims to describe the implementation of blended learning and student motivation in secondary schools in limited face-to-face classes. This qualitative study collected the data through observation and questionnaires, involving two classes of junior high school students (N=70) of one urban public school in Sidoarjo, East Java, where blended learning was mandatory during the transition period. The results show a clear difference between the two modes; students who participated during the in-person learning session are more enthusiastic, engaged, and active during teaching and learning activities, while students who studied at home seemed quieter and less motivated to learn during the blended learning session. Students further considered blended learning as a way to increase their learning motivation. They were more interested in the subject and had an easier way to find material online. Furthermore, various types of activities such as group and pair work, collaborative learning, and individual learning can be used to increase students’ engagement and interests during communicative language practice. The extrinsic and intrinsic factors of students as learning drivers should be considered by the teacher before applying certain learning methods and learning approaches, especially for English learning after the pandemic.

Abstract

Literature examines differences among classes especially the powerful-the non-powerful and the rich-the poor through literary conditions. Imogayu is Ryunosuke Akutagawa’s short story that tells Goi, a poor samurai. He is astonished with imogayu (yam gruel) and wishes more of it, but his fellows and master laugh at him for wishing so. The master asks Goi to follow him eat more imogayu and he agrees. In a village, his master tells his servants to cook imogayu then tells Goi to eat. Seeing many people cooked it then looking at plentiful imogayu, he loses appetite as he is fed up. Thus, the research question is, how is satiation reflected on Ryunosuke Akutagawa’s Imogayu? Through qualitative method on economic, socio-political, and psychological points, this study underlines changing condition of Goi from wanting imogayu to becoming satiated. Through psychology of satiation by Jeff Galak, behavior could change when consumption face hedonistic enjoyment. Class difference is seen in how Goi’s wish does come true but its abundant amount makes him sick of seeing wasted material used. In conclusion, Goi’s satiation comes from how his simple wish faces lavish reality. His satisfaction changes into satiation after seeing luxury that he never senses at all.
