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

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 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; in addition, 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.

Abstract

Advanced Earth Physics course is one of the courses discusses all aspects of physics that exist in natural processes occurring on the earth. One of the topics discussed was Landslide Natural Disaster. The purpose of this study is to discuss the use of online media and topography map in Advance earth physics classes to analyse the location of possible landslides. This research was conducted on students who are taking advanced earth physics courses for the even semester in the University of Riau, Physics Education Study Program, and 2018 2019 academic year. Students were given the concept of a landslide and guidelines for using Google Earth and on how to produce the topography map. Then students were required to do a mini project in terms of using Google Earth and Topography Map and to analyse the possibility of a landslide zone. Subsequently, students were given a questionnaire about understanding the material of the Avalanche that was studied with the help of Google Earth and topography map. The results show that almost all students fully understand and like what they are doing, as evidenced by an average score of 3.78 (scale 4) in terms of Google Earth's utility in studying landslide zones. Thus it can be concluded that the Google Earth media is very well-liked and can provide a deeper understanding to students in learning the concept of Landslide Natural Disasters in Advanced Earth Physics courses.

Abstract

Distributed leadership offers a new-thinking in transforming the school's leadership. Teachers' collective efficacy and professional learning community have been identified to have a strong influence on improving the teaching quality of teachers. This article examines the effects of distributed leadership of secondary school administrators on teacher collective efficacy and professional learning community. The literature suggests that distributed leadership perspective is a good alternative strategy to improve the quality of educational institutions, but empirical evidence showing the effects of distributed leadership on teachers’ collective efficacy and professional learning community that can improve the quality of teacher’s teaching is limited. Data were collected from 592 teachers working in secondary schools in Negeri Sembilan, Malaysia. Distributed leadership of secondary school administrators were determined with Distributed Leadership Inventory developed by Hulpia (2009) while teachers’ collective efficacy was determined using the Collective Efficacy Scales developed by Goddard and Hoy (2003) and professional learning community was determined with the School Professional Staff as Learning Community Questionnaire developed by Hord (1996). Data analysis was done based on Structural Equation Modeling using AMOS software. Regression weight, variance and squared multiple correlations tests were used in data analysis. In conclusion, a strong positive relationship was revealed between distributed leadership of secondary school administrators on teachers’ collective efficacy and professional learning community. Distributed leadership of secondary school administrators was also a significant predictor of teachers’ collective efficacy and professional learning community.

Abstract

English for nursing is one of the branches of English for Specific Purposes. This type of English lesson requires the teacher to choose a specific method in order to meet a specific learning objective. The final goal of learning this kind of English is to equip learners with competencies that suit their future job, one of them, is English skill. This is inseparable from the choice of an appropriate teaching method by the teacher. Many studies on the implementation of specific teaching methods have been undertaken. However, little is still known about the students' responses to the implementation of Task-Based Language Instruction in English for Nursing Classes. To fill this gap, the current study shed a light on this matter. This qualitative research aimed to explore students’ perception of this teaching method. There were 58 nursing students invited as the respondents. The data were garnered through interview and questionnaires. The implication of this research is to be contributed to the field of EFL teaching methodology as the expansion for the current studies in English for specific Purposes field.

Abstract

This learning improvement study aims to improve teaching and learning outcomes in academic writing through reading ability by applying CIRC model. This research was conducted based on the problems that occur when students taking Academic Reading and Writing courses. Among the problems found is that students still find difficulties in writing a summary of the specified article. The research subjects were students in the fourth semester of the academic year 2018/2019. Before applying this method, the writer conducted a pre test. The pre-test results showed that the students' writing summary skills were still low. The pre-test result was 2.77% of students scored very well, 19.43% got a good score, 27.77% of students scored moderately, 47.22% scored less, and 2.77% in the category of failure. The Classroom Action Research method is carried out in the application of the CIRC model which consists of two cycles, where each cycle took place in two meetings, and each cycle applied different learning activities. The results of the first cycle have shown changes in several assessment criteria, but the research was still being carried out into the second cycle. This was done to further strengthen learning by using the CIRC model. The percentage of student scores in the second cycle shows that 36.03% got a very good score, 33.33% got a good score, 30.55% got a sufficient score, and no more students scored less, and failed. From the above results can be concluded that the application of the CIRC model by the distribution of different discussion groups in each cycle affected learning outcomes. Thus the CIRC model can be considered to use in learning academic writing through reading ability in Academic Reading and Writing courses.
