Abstract

Neuroscience is a science that studies the nervous system of the human brain. The main focus of neuroscience involves understanding how brain cells communicate. Research in neuroscience has broad implications, from understanding nerves to applications in education. Neuroscience in early childhood education is a field of research that explores the link between children's brain development and the learning process. In the Al-Qur'an there are many explanations about the brain's function for thinking with the word aql. The urgency of character education in early childhood in neuroscience can be seen from the relationship between environmental stimulation and children's brain development. By providing integrated character education, we can create an environment that supports brain and character development in early childhood. Keywords: neuroscience learning, early childhood education

Abstract Racism is not the strange topic anymore for the people worldwide. The idea of racism is the exclusion of a group of individuals according to their race or ethnicity. One of the movies that raised this theme is The Freedom Writers. This movie is an American biographical drama movie written and directed by Richard LaGravenese in 2007. This study will identify racism using Van Dijk's Critical Discourse Analysis theory in the text dimension as reflected in The Freedom Writers movie. This study is a descriptive qualitative approach using Teun A. Van Dijk's Critical Discourse Analysis and only focus on text dimension (Macro Structure, Superstructure, and Microstructure). The main theme in the movie is the struggle against racism through education with the sub-theme of education as a tool of social change, highlighting Erin Gruwell's efforts to overcome racial divisions in her classroom through innovative teaching methods. The movie's structure begins with exposition, rising action, climax, falling action, and resolution that illustrate the challenges and successes in changing attitudes and promoting inclusivity in Erin's classroom. In this study, 11 texts in the scenes were found to contain elements of racism such as racial discrimination and systemic injustice, structural racism, negative stereotyping, and ignorance of context. Racism can cause traumatizing, violent effects on individuals, anger and irritation, and others. Keywords: Racism, Education, The Freedom Writers Movie, Van Dijk’s CDA

Abstract

This article examines the genre approach to writing pedagogy, which emphasizes writing as a social activity shaped by conventions and purposes specific to different genres. Unlike process-based approaches that focus primarily on cognitive processes, the genre approach highlights how writers use particular genres to fulfill social functions and communicate effectively with distinct audiences. The article explores the theoretical foundations of genre theory and its application in writing instruction, comparing it with process-oriented models. It explains how the genre approach shifts the focus from individual writing processes to the external conventions that govern textual production across various contexts. The article also provides an overview of three key genre-based pedagogies: the Sydney School, English for Specific Purposes (ESP), and the New Rhetoric Group (NRG). Each pedagogy offers a distinct perspective on how genres should be taught, from analyzing discourse structures to focusing on social contexts and purposes. Practical classroom implications are discussed, including strategies for genre-based teaching cycles, text analysis, and collaborative writing activities. The article concludes by advocating for the integration of genre pedagogy into writing instruction, emphasizing its potential to enhance students' writing skills, raise genre awareness, and help learners adapt to diverse communicative contexts. Despite critiques of its prescriptiveness, the genre approach is seen as a valuable tool for fostering effective writing and critical thinking.
