Abstract

This study aims to ascertain the efficacy of employing Google site-based instructional materials in enhancing the students' interest in entrepreneurial education at the school under investigation. The research cohort comprised all twelfth-grade students of the school under investigation, with a sample of 30 students specifically from grade XII TKJ 2 at the school under investigation. Data for this research endeavor were gathered through the utilization of observation sheets and questionnaires measuring students' interest in learning. Analytical techniques deployed in this investigation encompassed descriptive analysis, prerequisite assessments, n-gain evaluations, and hypothesis testing. The findings reveal that the utilization of Google site-based learning resources effectively augmented students' interest in entrepreneurial education at the school under investigation. The hypothesis testing analysis, employing the Paired Sample t-test, indicated a t-test result with a two-tailed significance value (Sig.) of 0.000, which is less than the predetermined significance level of 0.05 (0.000 < 0.05). Consequently, the null hypothesis (H0) is rejected in favor of the alternative hypothesis (Ha). This outcome implies a noteworthy distinction in students' interest in learning when employing Google site-based instructional materials compared to students who do not utilize such resources at the school under investigation. In conclusion, the study demonstrates that Google site-based learning materials effectively heightened students' interest in entrepreneurial education at the school under investigation.

Abstract

It cannot be denied that the performance of teachers will greatly influence the success of schools in achieving its goals. This descriptive research is intended to discuss: (1) the principals' view on the performance of public elementary school teachers in Pekanbaru, Riau, Indonesia; (2) principals' expectations for the teachers' performance in the future; and (3) challenges faced by principals to improve teachers' performance in the future. This descriptive quantitative research was carried out at public elementary schools in Pekanbaru in May 2019 to October 2019. By using a proportional random sampling technique, 66 of 191 elementary school principals spread across 12 districts in Pekanbaru were selected as the sample. The questionnaire addressed to the principal was used as an instrument which was then analyzed through descriptive statistical analysis. In the end, it can be concluded that the best performance of teachers is in implementing the learning process. However, their performance in carrying out additional tasks in schools was rated by principals as the lowest average of all categories. The principals' expectations of the teachers' performance in the future are related to improving teacher competencies as well as improving the ability to utilize technology and equipment available at school. While the challenges faced, however, are related to the lack of willingness of teachers to continue their education and limited funds to participate in various training.

Abstract

This study was performed concerning the usage of a blog to ascertain the perceptions of the students regarding the usage of blogs in Extensive Reading (hereafter ER) classes at one of Tasikmalaya’s universities. Braun and Clarke’s Descriptive Case Study Design and Thematic Analysis techniques were used in this study. The primary data source was semi-structured interviews with four participants, transcribed and analysed using Thematic Analysis. This study discovered that blogging has advantages and disadvantages in the ER class. The advantage of using blogs as media in Extensive Reading classes is that blogging is easy to use and can increase student creativity. Furthermore, blogging can increase student motivation to read, serve as a forum for reflection, and increase learning autonomy. However, based on the findings, it turns out that there are some disadvantages to using blogs as media in Extensive Reading classes, such as limited access to blogs, sluggish connectivity for submitting assignments, and causing time-consuming problems. Finally, the research provides information to lecturers so that lecturers can learn about the benefits and drawbacks of using blogs in ER learning.

Abstract

This study analyses 25 nursing care reports written by nursing students majoring in the International Class of Nursing Diploma at a higher education institution in Indonesia. The main research focus is to assess the cohesion and coherence of nursing care reports in relation to their grades. The Systemic Functional Linguistics framework, with a focus on the textual metafunction, serves as a tool for analyzing cohesion, Thematic structures and Thematic development of the texts. The analysis of text cohesion revealed that all texts predominantly used lexical cohesion and reference to build internal ties within the texts. Reiteration of the same lexical items throughout the texts and heavy use of personal pronouns indicated the exploitation of these systems. In terms of coherence via Thematic structure, it was found that textual Themes were predominantly used. All the texts relied heavily on unmarked Themes, with no evidence indicating a proportional use of marked and unmarked Themes. In terms of Thematic development, Theme reiteration was the main method of text development for all texts. However, a few instances of Zig-zag Thematic development were found in texts in the higher graded categories. None of the texts used multiple Rheme patterns as an alternative method of text development.

Abstract

School organizational conditions influence teaching and learning. Instructional leadership is context-based, and the practices of the leader are contingent upon the school’s organizational context. In this paper, we examine how different schools create the organizational infrastructure for teaching and learning natural sciences (NS) and the adequacy thereof in providing a supportive environment for the teachers and students in the subject. Using a mixed methods approach, we compare the extent to which the organizational infrastructures in schools enable and/or constrain NS instruction and its leadership. We use survey data on NS teachers and their heads of department on school conditions and infrastructures, management and administrative processes, and subject leadership practices. A total of 77 schools and 15 participants responded to the questionnaire and participated in the interview/observation respectively, from 4 districts in the Gauteng province of South Africa. The data obtained were analyzed using descriptive statistics and content analysis. The findings showed that schools sharing similar socio-economic contexts have similar organizational infrastructures and arrangements around which the core work of teaching and learning was organized. The study concludes that school organizational infrastructures (shaped by contexts) may either promote or constrain effective instructional leadership for NS. We recommend that schools need to review their organizational arrangements and infrastructures to support instructional leadership and enhance their capacity to strengthen NS instruction more effectively.
