Abstract

This study aims at identifying the types of new normal protocol signs placed at Sanur Port, Denpasar City, Bali Province, and analyzing the compositional meanings of the signs based on the linguistic landscape approach. The outdoor public signs at Sanur Port, Denpasar City, Bali-Indonesia were the source of data in this study. All types of outdoor signs were taken in a specific given territory marked by two gates of entrances to access Sanur Port, the Northern gate on Matahari Terbit Street and the Southern gate on Hangtuah Street. The public signs were collected by the documentation method. The photos were taken in November 2021 by the researchers. The data in this study were analyzed qualitatively based on the multimodal approach, specifically the compositional meanings since the new normal protocol signs were possibly viewed from the social semiotic visual displays. The information value, framing, and salience are the parts of the analysis. The results show that there were nineteen outdoor signs related to health protocols in the new normal situation placed at the Sanur Port area categorized into two types, they are the government and private signs with the dominant language used was Indonesian. The government public signs were dominantly placed around the area of the Southern Gate. It was related to the social condition in which a long time ago that Gate was the main entrance to enter Sanur Beach, and the ticketing desks were placed nearby the Southern Gate, despite the fact that the parking lots are larger in the Northern Gate area. Two private signs were permitted to be placed at the Sanur Port, even though there were only four locations as the placement of the wash basin with the verbal messages. It is considered that they had the permission from the authority of Sanur Port and Sanur Village as they gave contribution to the village.

Abstract

This research examines the capacity of ChatGPT 3.5 in generating reading comprehension questions for academic texts, with a focus on their alignment with higher-order cognitive skills as per Bloom’s Taxonomy. A paper-based test comprising 30 multiple-choice questions was constructed using ChatGPT 3.5, based on three selected TOEFL ITP reading comprehension passages. The study employed a mixed-methods approach, integrating qualitative content analysis to assess the cognitive level of each question and quantitative methods to analyze student responses. Data collection involved administering the AI-generated questions to students and scoring their responses. Analysis techniques included Pearson correlation coefficients to determine validity and reliability analysis using Cronbach's Alpha to measure internal consistency. The findings revealed that ChatGPT 3.5 is capable of producing questions that cover a range of cognitive levels, from analysis to creation, however only 10 out of 30 questions met the validity criteria, indicating a need for improvement in the AI's question generation process. The reliability of these questions was moderate, suggesting a reasonable level of internal consistency. The study concludes that while AI-generated questions show promise in educational assessments, ongoing improvement of AI models is necessary to enhance their effectiveness. The implications of this research are significant for the future integration of AI in educational settings, indicating a potential role for AI in developing meaningful assessment tools. The study recommends future research to explore various question types and incorporate student feedback to optimize the effectiveness of AI in education.

Abstract

Dark humor is a form of comedy that explores taboo topics such as death, disease, and tragedy. While it is often controversial and can be offensive to some, it is also a means of coping with difficult or uncomfortable topics and offering a fresh perspective on societal norms. Just as stated by Merriam-Webster’s Encyclopedia of Literature, dark humor or black humor is a kind of humor that is marked by the use of morbid, ironic, or grotesquely comic episodes that ridicule human folly. However, this paper examines the concept of dark humor by tackling some of the significant poems of the English poet “Sherman Alexie” and the Iraqi poet “Ahmed Matar.” Those two poets discuss subjects and problems of real-life experiences. The purpose of this research is to shed light on Native Americans' daily lives on reservations and demonstrate their pain as well as the poet’s personal experience there, which is discussed by Sherman Alexie in his poems, “Futures”, “Traveling”, “Translated from the American”, “Giving Blood”, “War all the time”, “Reservation cap driver”, “The mice war”. While the Iraqi poet tended to criticize Arab rules, the lack of freedom they force, their use of torture, the government, and their persuasion of authority at all costs. Here are some of his notable poems that this research are going to explain and make critique in details. “They put a watchdog on my mouth", "وَضَعوا فوقَ فمي كلبَ حِراسه", “My awful silence”, "صمتي الرهيب", “The lost Caravan”, "قافلة تائهة". Ultimately, this paper aims to offer a fair viewpoint on the usage of dark humor and to stimulate additional investigation into its psychological and social significance. It can be hypothesized that Dark humor has been used heavenly by Ahmed Matar and Sherman Alexie in their poetry, and the researcher is going to show the importance of using humor is to attack the capitalist system, as in Sherman Alexie country, and the ruthless hegemonic government as in Ahmed Matar' country. It is used to show vulgarity of governments and to amuse the audience to certain extent.

Abstract

This study examines transformative leadership within Philippine educational settings to discern its impact on student outcomes, staff development, and institutional effectiveness. A descriptive qualitative analysis involving diverse stakeholders revealed that transformative leadership diverges significantly from traditional management, emphasizing innovation, empathy, and adaptability. It fosters a culture where staff confidence and autonomy lead to professional growth and improved educational outcomes. In addition, the findings suggest that such leadership is essential for educational institutions navigating the complexities of modern education, including technological advancements and societal changes. Effective communication and systematic evaluation were identified as key for transformative leaders to measure and enhance student success, despite facing resistance to change. The study concludes that transformative leadership will become increasingly central in education, driving institutions towards inclusivity and a forward-thinking ethos. It was recommended that Philippine educational institutions adopt transformative leadership to bridge disparities, enhance quality, and prepare for future educational demands. The approach is particularly beneficial for public schools, higher education, TVET institutions, private educational providers, policymakers, and community learning centers, promising to elevate the quality of education in a rapidly evolving global landscape.
