Abstract

This research is carried out due to students' low Mathematical Problem Solving Ability (Indonesian: KPMM) and the unavailability of learning documents that are following the demands of the 2013 Curriculum. This research produces learning documents using the ASSURE design with problem-solving strategies to improve students' KPMM. The development model used is the 4D model with validity instruments in the form of validation sheets of the syllabus, lesson plans (RPP), student activity sheets (LAS) and KPMM tests; practicality of the instruments in the form of student response questionnaires, teacher response questionnaires, and observation sheets; and effectiveness of the instruments in the form of KPMM test questions. The data were collected through questionnaires, observations and KPMM tests. The data were analyzed using validity analysis techniques; practicality analysis and effectiveness analysis. From the results of the data processing, the average score of the syllabus validation result is 3,56; RPP 3.60; LAS 3.51; and KPMM questions 3.55. The average scores of the student response questionnaire on limited trials and field trials are respectively 92.85% and 87.41% classified in the 'very practical' category. The average scores of the teacher response questionnaire and teacher observation are 96.54% and 94.31%. Based on the results of the effectiveness test, it can be stated that there are differences in KPMM students between the experimental class and the control class. It can be concluded that the learning documents developed have been valid, practical, and effective to improve students' KPMM.

Abstract

The limitations of the teaching materials, the absence of sample questions, individual assignments, and evaluations of narrative text materials are the issues covered in this study. This research aims to describe the needs of teachers and students for an electronic module (e-module) based on the scientific approach, to develop a prototype for an e-module based on the scientific approach, and to describe the experts’ validation of the e-module. This study employed R&D using the 4D development model, which has four stages: define, design, develop, and disseminate. Three validators—two lecturers and one teacher—were used to evaluate the e- module. This research findings show as follows. Firstly, teachers and students need narrative text e-module teaching materials employing a scientific approach, secondly, the e- module narrative text prototype adheres to the scientific approach. Finally, the validation test on e-module narrative text for English learning is categorized as valid. These findings recommend that using the scientific approach-based e-module narrative text material that was developed with the help of the KSOFT flipbook maker is imperatively implemented in teaching a narrative text in the tenth grade of Senior High School.

Abstract

Conducting an assessment is a part of teachers' roles and responsibilities. Assessment is a process by which teachers can get feedback for their teaching and students' learning. It can provide data about teachers' teaching effectiveness as well students' learning progress and achievement. Among many alternative authentic assessments suggested in the latest 2013 Curriculum, the portfolio is one of the recommended types of assessment used by teachers at schools lately. However, the reality shows that this portfolio assesment is not used effectively yet in the field. Instead, many teachers still rely on some kinds of traditional tests to assess students' learning. This paper discusses theoretical foundations of this portfolio assessment, followed by a discussion on how to make use of it in the field. Some challenges and possible solutions are also addressed in this paper.

Abstract

This research aimed to find out the correlation between self- directed learning and reading comprehension of the fifth- semester students of the English department of FKIP Universitas Riau. The researchers used a descriptive quantitative method as the data approach. The samples of this research were 74 students from the fifth-semester students of the English department of FKIP Universitas Riau. The research instruments are a questionnaire and a test. The questionnaire is for the data on self-directed learning while the test is for the data on reading comprehension. To analyze the data, the researchers employed SPSS Statistics 25. The data analysis showed that the mean score of the student's self-directed learning is 215.18, classified as moderate level, while the mean score of the student's reading comprehension is 56.35, categorized as moderate level. Moreover, the research finding showed the correlation coefficient of the two variables is 0.694, indicating a positive and moderate correlation. Also, the determinant coefficient is 0.48 which implies self-directedlearning has a 48% influence on the students’ reading comprehension, leaving the other 52% to other factors. After finding that there is a moderate relationship between self- directed learning and reading comprehension, it is suggested that students should apply self-directed learning activities well, for it can result in better reading comprehension. This is mainly because self-directed learning gives them the freedom to choose their own reading materials and learning objectives.

Abstract

The individual digital storytelling project was given to 129-second semester students of Speaking Class in English Literature Study Program, Faculty of Cultural Sciences, Universitas Sumatera Utara Indonesia during this pandemic time. After a virtual workshop on how to do digital story-telling was given to the students, they were asked to create their video stories. There were two topics given to the students. Students might have the freedom to either tell their own stories or to tell a fable or fairy tale. After doing the project, students were asked to do self-reflection on their project by answering a questionnaire. The questionnaire consists of three closed- questions and three semi-open questions. The result revealed that the majority of the students mentioned that the project was engaging, could improve their speaking skills, and accommodate their creativity. Besides, most of the students argued that the project could enhance their autonomous learning. 126 students out of 129 said that the project was very beneficial to improving their speaking skills even though they had only virtual speaking classes during the pandemic, except there were three students who showed that they needed the in-person feedback from the teacher and the ambiance of the real face to face class. Thus, it is recommended to apply digital storytelling and its implications in online-learning mode.

Abstract

This classroom Action Research aims to observe the implementation of the Peer Response Technique to improve the students’ writing personal recount text and their behaviour in writing activity. The participants were the students in class VIII A of SMPN 2 Sungai Raya which consisted of 31 students. Based on the teacher’s direct observation, the students in this class faced some problems in writing a personal recount text. A mixed-method approach was used to collect the data. The observation sheet, field notes, and focus group interview were used to collect the qualitative data and the writing test was used to collect the students’ writing score as the quantitative data. Three cycles were conducted in this research where each cycle consisted of three meetings. The findings of this research have shown that the implementation of the Peer Response Technique in the writing process was effective in improving not only the students’ behaviour in writing activity but also the students’ scores in writing personal recount text. The writing activities that were done in pairs could boost the students’ confidence in writing. They could also have good communication and cooperation in every writing stage that they have to do. The feedback that the students gave to each other’s writing improved their trust and their ability to learn from others’ writing. Ultimately, the peer response could improve the students’ writing personal recount text that was proved by the improvement of the student’s writing score from cycle 1 to cycle 3.

Abstract

The rapid change in today’s society forces higher education to adapt to it and transform to prepare their graduates for the future, which entails regulating minimum language proficiency levels for a graduation requirement in universities. This study aims to investigate university students’ English proficiency level to revisit English language requirements at higher education institutions. To do so, this study used simple descriptive research using a TOEFL Prediction test administered to 400 university students at the University of Riau. The score was converted to the Common European Framework of Reference for Language (CEFR) to investigate whether the scores are relevant to the university’s needs. The results show that the majority of students (N=258) have achieved the A2 CEFR level (Basic User – way stage). This suggests that it has fulfilled the minimum requirement set by the university. However, this is unlikely to reflect the objectives envisioned by the institution. Therefore, recommendations aroused from the findings will be provided in this research.
