Abstract

Since the beginning of 2020, the world has been shaken by an incident, namely the spread of the Covid-19 virus. The spread of the Covid-19 virus is very widespread throughout the world, so the World Health Organization (WHO) conveyed this as a threat to the world on January 31, 2020 which was later announced to be a pandemic for the international community, namely on March 11, 2020 (Shan L. Pana et al, 2020). The Indonesian government finally took part in handling the spread of the Covid-19 virus, including by recording the area where the virus spread and mapping it into several zones (Kemenkes, 2020). Because of some areas in East Java are mostly in the red and orange zones, which are areas with a high and dangerous spread of the Covid-19 virus, the researchers wanted to know the readiness and involvement of early childhood teachers in East Java during the COVID-19 pandemic through online learning. This research is a qualitative descriptive study that uses data collection techniques through literature review and surveys. Furthermore, all data collected from both the literature review and survey results were analyzed for description. The survey results state that the activities that have been planned in the lesson plan can be carried out well. However, there are parents of students who often do not collect student assignments on time, resulting in teachers having difficulty in assessing each student. Good ICT mastery can facilitate the implementation of online learning activities and early childhood teachers also support the implementation of online learning from home imposed by the Government to suppress the spread of the Covid-19 virus.

Abstract

One of the four competencies for professional teachers is the pedagogical competency that includes the ability to assess learning outcomes. This requirement should apply to teachers enrolled in teacher certification program (PPG). PPG Batch 20, however, did not provide teachers with any module for assessment literacy. This study administered a test to explore these teachers’ assessment literacy. The finding indicates that they belonged to the unacceptable-to-inadequate levels. An updated assessment literacy module is recommended to meet the purpose of assessment-literate teachers.

Abstract

The reading proficiency of Indonesian students is still relatively low, especially the reading performance in English as a foreign language. Thus, it needs several explorations on the technique suitable for students with diversities of reading competence. This study describes the effect of implementing the cloze procedure on teaching reading proficiency. The research method employed the design of quantitative causal-comparative. The population is the students of the second grade of senior high school with the samples involving two classes. To collect the data, the pre-test and post-test were applied to the classes. The result of the test was analyzed by using ANCOVA. The result shows that the sig. is higher than 0.05 (0.92 > 0.05). It reveals that the cloze procedure is not significantly effective in teaching reading particularly on hortatory exposition. However, the result shows that both the students who get the cloze technique and those who do not get that procedure, perform an enhancement on their post-test despite the insignificant difference.

Abstract

Research related to distance learning for students has been widely carried out, contrary to research related to teachers. The lack of opportunities and facilities for early childhood education teachers to develop their competencies is the background for the theme of this research. This article will be focused on explaining the readiness of Early Childhood Education teachers to face training conducted through distance learning. This research was conducted through a survey method by sending questionnaires to 409 participants. Participants are teachers or assistants from SPS, Playgroups and Kindergartens. The results of this study indicate that most of the participants are interested in participating in distance learning. This shows the high motivation of the participants to improve competence through distance learning. Various obstacles that may be faced cause participants to have difficulty accessing distance learning.

Abstract

Reading skill is an important skill in the mastery of a language as the more the students read, the more exposed they are to the target language. Giving reading comprehension questions that suit the students’ thinking level has been widely known to foster the students’ critical thinking and reading comprehension. This study aimed (1) to explore the cognitive level of the reading comprehension questions found in EFL textbook based on the Revised Bloom’s Taxonomy and (2) to explore appropriate reading comprehension questions to supplement the EFL textbook to meet the Curriculum of 2013. This study analyzed an EFL textbook for year X of high school based on the cognitive domain of the Revised Bloom’s Taxonomy. The findings show that the proportion between LOTS and HOTS questions was 85.5% and 15.5%. Considering that the EFL textbook was dominated by LOTS questions, it was concluded that the EFL textbook was not appropriate for 10th grade students. Therefore, this study proposed 84 appropriate reading comprehension questions to supplement the EFL textbook so as to allow the students to hone their reading skill through various cognitive processes. There was an increase of 20.4% in the percentage of HOTS questions after the addition of the researcher’s supplementary questions, so the proportion between LOTS and HOTS questions became 65.1% (LOTS questions) and 34.9% (HOTS questions).

Abstract

This developmental research aims at developing Higher-Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) reading comprehension questions for senior high school students. This is in line with the national educational goal which is to increase the national competitiveness in the global era while manipulating Higher-Oder Thinking Skills (HOTS) in the global communication. This research is supported by the theory that HOTS questions enable students to think critically. The ADDIE model of instructional design is applied in the process of creating the HOTS reading comprehension questions. Two authentic analytical exposition texts and two authentic explanation texts are used as the reading materials. Twenty five multiple-choice questions of the Analyzing, Evaluating, and Creating levels of the cognitive domain of the Revised Bloom’s Taxonomy (RBT) are developed. A blue print is used as the basis for the questions development to ensure the content validity of the questions. Fifteen students did the test and their answers were scored by the writers. K-R21 was applied to examine the reliability coefficient resulted in r=0.68. This is considered as a high reliability. It is expected that this paper would give beneficial insights for teachers and reading material developers that providing HOTS questions are important for students  as reading exercises or tests and that a multiple-choice type of questions can be used. Hence, it is also recommended that other studies be conducted in the use of other types of questions at the level of HOTS to provide more variations of reading programs for students

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to ascertain students’ perspectives toward the use of Edmodo in the 'Intermediate Listening' class of the English Education Study Program at STKIP PGRI Sidoarjo. To accomplish the objective, the researcher employed a questionnaire as the primary instrument and a descriptive quantitative design. The researcher surveyed 37 respondents using 13 closed-ended questionnaires. The questionnaire was divided into three sections. Edmodo as an effective tool in writing class, Edmodo as a Supplementary tool in 'Intermediate Listening' class, and Edmodo as a Supplementary Tool for Learning. The questionnaires were adapted from those used in Manowong (2016). On the basis of the data collected, it can be concluded that: (a) Edmodo is an effective and beneficial tool for teaching and learning English, particularly in the 'Intermediate Listening' class. (b) Edmodo enables lecturers to monitor and maintain their students' progress. (c) Edmodo provides a snapshot of students' progress and accomplishments. Additionally, the results indicated that the majority of students agreed that explanations, quizzes, and other online tasks provided by the lecturer in Edmodo assist students in improving their learning and comprehension of the 'Intermediate Listening' course. The internet-based reference materials, such as links to materials, videos, images, and articles posted by the lecturer, assist students in comprehending the course. Edmodo is one of the most innovative and creative supplemental teaching methods available for enhancing classroom interaction.

Abstract

Language learning strategies guide language learners to become active learners that can provide their own needs and choose their preference in learning the language. Therefore, this study was done to study the language learning strategies used by high and low achieving students in learning speaking as well as how they apply their strategies. There were 20 participants taking part in this study. They were classified into high and low achievers based on the students speaking score of their speaking performances. SILL questionnaire proposed by Oxford (1990) was adapted in this study to better fit the purpose of this study. The validity and reliability of the questionnaire was also done to measure what it was intended to measure. Besides questionnaire, a semi-structured interview was also used as the instrument to complement the quantitative data. Based on the data gathered through questionnaire, the study revealed that metacognitive strategy as the most frequently used strategy by high and low achieving students. Additionally, the data gathered through interviews also showed that each group of achievers applied all language learning strategies as proposed by Oxford (1990); memory strategy, cognitive strategy, compensation strategy, metacognitive strategy, affective strategy, and social strategy. However, high achiever learners were reported using a higher number (13 strategies) of language learning strategies than low achiever learners (11 strategies). The study confirms that learners who have a higher level of English competence will almost certainly apply wider strategies in their language learning.
