Abstract

This study is aimed at identifying the effect of using Cabri 3DV2Plus software with a learning model of cooperative interaction settings of students who get conventional learning seen from the level of students' abilities (high, medium, or low). The research uses a quasi-experimental method. The population in this study were students of class XI. The sampling technique was done by random sampling, and a sample of 182 students was obtained. The instrument used in this study was a test of mathematical understanding. The data collection techniques for mathematical understanding were carried out by giving a pretest and a posttest. The statistical analysis carried out was a normality test and a homogeneity test as a condition for taking the treatments, and a t-test to see the average difference in each class. From the t-test, the tcount and ttable values were obtained respectively. tcount1 = 11.20  ttable = 2.042, tcount2 = 9.819  ttable = 2.042, and tcount3 = 4.861  ttable = 2.042 then overall H0 is rejected; meaning that there is influence of using Cabri 3DV2Plus software with the learning model of cooperative interaction settings of students who get conventional learning in terms of the level of students' ability (high, medium, or low).

Abstract

In teaching writing, teaching strategy and students’ self-confidence influence students’ writing skill. The research was conducted to find out the effect of Roundtable Strategy and students’ self-confidence on students’ writing skill of descriptive text. The design of this research was quasi experimental with 2x2 factorial design. The population of this research was the VIII grade students of SMP Tri Bhakti Pekanbaru, 2015/2016 academic year. Writing test and self-confidence questionnaire were used as the research instruments. Then, the data were analyzed by using t-test formula and two ways Anova. The result of this research shows that (1) students who were taught by using Roundtable Strategy had better writing skill in writing descriptive text than those who were taught by using Three Phase Strategy. It was proven by the result of t-test which showed that tobserved was bigger than ttable, (2) students with high self-confidence who were taught by Roundtable Strategy had better writing skill in descriptive text than those who were taught by using Three Phase Strategy, (3) students with low self-confidence who were taught by Roundtable Strategy had better writing skill in descriptive text than those who were taught by using Three Phase Strategy, and (4) there was no interaction between both strategies and students’ self-confidence toward students’ writing skill, where Fobserved (0.004) was less than Ftable (3.39). In conclusion, Roundtable Strategy had a significant result on students’ writing skill than Three Phase Strategy and there was no interaction between teaching strategies and students’ self-confidence toward students’ writing skill.

Abstract

Stereochemistry is the study of molecules in three-dimensional space regarding how atoms in a molecule are arranged in one room relative to the other. Stereochemistry is a difficult course. Therefore, it is necessary to diagnose the difficulty of learning using the testlet model. This study is aimed at developing an appropriate testlet model for the assessment instrument. This research uses the development model of Borg and Gall's assessment instrument with ten stages, but this research is limited to the fifth stage only, namely 1) Research and Information Collection, 2) Planning 3) Develop Preliminary Form of Product 4) Preliminary Field Testing, and 5) Preliminary Product Revision. The data collection techniques were in the form of validation questionnaires from expert teams and students' response questionnaires. The data analysis technique used qualitative and quantitative data. The qualitative data were from the results of a review of validation by a team of experts who are Postgraduate Lecturers of Chemistry Education at Universitas Riau and lecturers of the Chemistry Education Study Program at the Faculty of Tarbiyah and Teaching at UIN Suska Riau. The quantitative data were obtained from the calculation of the mean scores of the validation questionnaire by two lecturers of the Postgraduate of Chemistry Education at Universitas Riau and one lecturer in the Chemistry Education Study Program at the Tarbiyah Faculty and Teacher Training at UIN Suska Riau as the experts. The results of the study show that the mean score of validation from the expert team is 3.97 on the aspect of material with valid category, 3.97 on the aspect of construction with valid category, 3.88 on the aspect of language with valid category; and the results of the students' response questionnaires are 51.58 on the time readability questionnaire and 8.08 on the aspect of time adequacy.

Abstract

Since intensive reading has long been a part of curriculum core in Indonesia and is the main and only English skill tested in the National Examination, many teaching procedures usually focus on ways to assist students succeed in the examination. Therefore, there is a tendency for teachers to simply equip students with texts and help to make sense of the texts by translation so that enabling students to answer the given questions. While it may be helpful to some extent, there is a claim that this mode of teaching is (1) less accurate as it is deemed as practising reading, not teaching students how to read and (2) less effective for a mere texts’ translation affords insufficient support for profound understanding and autonomy in learning to occur. This paper thus addresses this teaching issue happened specifically in a junior high school in Indonesia, where teachers still use translation, i.e. Grammar Translation Method, in teaching reading with a lot of practices and less strategy of how to read. Theoretical foundations of intensive reading and theories of language learning are critically discussed, which then lead to suggest the metacognitive strategy as a potential solution to resolve the issue. This paper hence could (a) enhance our understanding on intensive reading and its relation to language learning theories and (b) offer an insight of possible solution to cope other cases similar to the one presented in this paper.

Abstract

Being able to communicate effectively in English on both social and academic setting, is one of the biggest challenge faced by International students learning in English speaking countries like New Zealand. This challenge is inevitably relevant to students’ from Indonesia, a country where English is not a second language. Extra effort is required since these International students must be able to learn and produce the language simultaneously in a very immediate context, shifting from EFL to ESL context. To be able to shift from these two different learning contexts, specific strategies are needed. The use of communication strategies is purposed to assist language learners in a target language community to in delivering and receiving messages in spoken communication. This research is aimed to: a) identify types of communication strategy used by Indonesian adult Postgraduate students; b) investigate how these communication strategies are learned and applied. The data is collected qualitatively through semi-structured interviews. The result of this study reveals that, the two respondents in general are using the same communication strategies: compensatory strategy in form of circumlocution; on the other hand, avoidance strategy is also applied as a last resort. Furthermore, this research also highlights learning strategies developed/learned by the respondents to upgrade their communication competence.
