Abstract

Based on the regulation the Ministry of State Apparatus Empowerment and the Bureaucratic Reform of the Republic of Indonesia Number 16 Year 2009 regarding Position of Teacher Functional Score and Credit Figures, teachers are required to write scientific papers as one of the requirements to apply for a functional promotion. However, this rule seems to be difficult for the teachers to be done since writing scientific papers is a big professional challenge for most school teachers. At SMK Wahidin Cirebon, West Java, Indonesia, for example, a vocational school in Cirebon, West Java, Indonesia, there was found that the teachers are still clueless and negligent in writing the article. Therefore, that situation triggered the research team (the writers) to give the workshop on how to write the scientific papers, especially writing the abstract. Furthermore, to evaluate the teachers’ writing ability, this paper was written to investigate the syntactical errors made by the teachers of Indonesian Vocational School ‘SMK Wahidin’ in writing abstract for a scientific paper. It involved 8 abstracts which were written by the teachers at SMK Wahidin. The data were collected by observation and documentation, and then analyzed using Syntactic theory proposed by Radford (2004) that was developed from the Chomsky’s theory. The research results show that the dominant syntactical errors made by the teachers are syntactical errors in using the verbs. Meanwhile, the factors that influenced the teachers’ syntactical errors are mother tongue interference and unawareness of the grammatical rules.

Abstract

This study aimed at finding out whether or not Problem-based Learning (PBL) can improve the mastery of adverb clause of reason, specifically focused on subordinating conjunctions: because, since, and now that. They seemed easy to use, but students had difficulty identifying the conjunctions used in sentences and constructing complex sentences that are necessary for including those conjunctions. One pre-test and post-test research design was used with 45 populations of MA Alkhairaat Ampibabo eleventh-grade students. Purposive sampling was used to select the sample, which consisted of 24 students from the XI science class. The data were collected using tests consisting of pre-test and post-test and analyzed statistically using t-test. The result of the data analysis shows that the value of t-counted (7.49) is higher than the t-table (1.714) by applying a significance level of 0.05 with a degree of freedom (df)=23. It implies that PBL has positively improved students’ mastery of the adverb clause of reason. In terms of subordinating conjunctions, the conjunction now that has the most errors in both the pre-test and post-test, followed by the conjunction since, and finally the conjunction because.

Abstract

There has been a growing concern about plagiarism among students. This survey sets forth first-year vocational college students' knowledge of plagiarism. A 10-item survey was distributed to vocational students enrolled in the course of English for Specific Purposes. This study reveals that most students are unclear if they should give credit to the author, especially if they have previously paraphrased the line. They believe that unintentional plagiarism occurs mostly due to short deadlines for assignments, pressure to earn a decent score, and the notion that assignments are mere formalities that will not be examined by lecturers. According to the findings of this study, students lack adequate quoting and paraphrasing skills. Despite having insufficient knowledge of plagiarism, students were eager to learn how to avoid plagiarism. This study suggest the difficulty of students in reading paper in English. This study urges senior high school teachers to introduce plagiarism ethics to students. Lecturers and college staff are encouraged to train students to avoid plagiarism as early as possible, especially for vocational college students who have less time dealing with theories in the classroom.
