REVISITING THE CONCEPT OF GURU IN VARIOUS CULTURAL PERSPECTIVES Andrias Tri Susanto
Magister Scientiae No 44 (2018)
Publisher : Widya Mandala Surabaya Catholic University

Teacher education institutions worldwide have mostly attempted to shape their candidate teachers with positive traits of an effective teacher. However, this notion of equipping the future teachers with features of an ideal figure of a teacher seems to be obscure without any comprehensible identifications of what the features are. This study was then written to report an analytical review on the conception of a great teacher under the noble idea of guru as understood in Javanese and Indian culture. By understanding the various cultural perspectives of the term ‘an ideal teacher’ and identifying the characteristics of guru¸ this article can later be used as a foundation of defining what type of a teacher that a teacher education institution has been working on. This was conducted through literature review and analytical qualitative study of some candidate teachers taking Micro Teaching course in the Faculty of Teacher Training in Widya Mandala Catholic University Surabaya. This study attempted to identify connections between the proposed theories discussed and personal perspectives of the candidate teachers conveyed through their reflective writing products.

Publisher : Widya Mandala Surabaya Catholic University

In EFL teaching and learning, writing is one of important language skills which help students show their ideas, thought, and attitudes. Nevertheless, the phenomenon nowadays shows that EFL students cannot express their clear, correct, comprehensible, and creative ideas because of the lack of creative thinking skills they possessed. This research aimed at showing the implementation of deconstructed moviebased writing to foster students’ creative thinking skill and describing the students’ creative thinking skill reflected when they were taught deconstructed movie-based writing. This research used descriptive qualitative design. The data were collected from classroom observation, field note, documentation of the process of teaching creative writing using deconstructed movie-based writing and the students’ writing performance to know their creative thinking. The data were analyzed descriptively. The result revealed that the use of deconstructed movie-based writing to foster students’ creative thinking works well. There were three criteria of creative thinking skill which are improved from the first meeting to the last meeting; they are image, characterization, and voice. However, the story criterion was decreased on the second meeting compared with the first meeting and improved on the third meeting. The students’ creative thinking skill was improved after they were taught deconstructed movie-based writing.

Grammar an important aspect of communication because it deals with how people are able to express their ideas or thoughts. It is important to construct words and sentences properly in order to convey the points effectively. As an English teacher in Grade X of a senior high school, the researcher found some problems in the students’ writing that made their writing scores to be not satisfying although they gained high scores in reading. Also, grammatical errors were the major problems in the students’ writing. The research was intended to improve the students’ grammar accuracy in writing through consciousness raising. After implementation, the students’ grammar mistakes decreased from the preliminary study to the Third Cycle, the researcher concluded that consciousness raising approach in a form of discovery learning activity helped the students in improving their written grammar accuracy. Some students also stated that discovery learning activities helped them understand their mistakes in applying the Simple Past Tense.

Physics is a subject that plays an important role in our daily life. It is a basic for the development of advanced technology. Even though it is an important subject, some high school students are not interested in learning physics. The low motivation to learn physics are caused by several reasons such as difficult material, boring classes, dislike for the teachers, and so on. Low motivation in learning physics cause negative attitude while learning physics and thus students cannot get optimal learning achievements. In this study, we developed a board game called “Heat and Monster Bingo” to make students to be interested in learning physics. The instructional game “Heat and Monster Bingo” covers topics of temperature and heat. We developed the board games in Indonesian and English so that students can learn physics in bilingual way. The broad game has gone through expert appraisal and has been tested to a group of students consisting of 27 high school students. The data were gathered through questionnaire filled by the students. According to the questionnaire data, 88.47% of the students agree that the physics learning medium in the form of board games is interesting and able to help them in studying temperature and heat.

This paper is presented through the lens of two-folded perspectives: the author as a teacher and the author as a learner of English. As a teacher of English, the author will put forward some professional viewpoints in relation with the difficulties that Indonesian students face when learning English and with what they should do in coping with the problems. As a learner, the author will share his own experiences and success stories as a good learner of English in the past. As the title of the paper implies, overall, this paper mainly discusses the major constraints that hinder Indonesian students’ EFL learning progress and offers feasible approaches to the challenges to meeting the expectation: a significant success in EFL learning in Indonesia.

THE EXPERIMENTAL STUDY OF COMPLETE PLATE CAPACITORS FOR DETERMINING A DIELECTRICAL CONSTANTA OF A MATERIAL - Kurniasari
Magister Scientiae No 44 (2018)
Publisher : Widya Mandala Surabaya Catholic University

Experiments and theories are two parts that cannot be separated in studying Physics. Many theories are built on experimental data and many theories fall because they conflict with experimental data. In addition, the role of experiments can also be used to help understand a physics material obtained in class. With this regard, a development research has been carried out to determine the dielectric constant of a material through parallel plate capacitor experiments, and experimental instructions. The research was carried out through stages: literature study, tools testing, experiments: taking and analyzing data, developing practical instruction modules and testing modules to the students. The results showed that through practicum parallel plate capacitors, dielectric constant of a material can be obtained. From the results of the experiment, the value of the dielectric constant was (8.60 ± 0.01) x 10 -1 for air; (2.1 ± 0.2) for plastic; and (4.3 ± 0.2) for glass. Based on the results of testing the module practicum instructions for students of a Physics Education Study Program, it was obtained the fact that students stated that the practicum instruction module was already developed well and could assist in carrying out parallel plate capacitor practicum.

Publisher : Widya Mandala Surabaya Catholic University

Coursebook is an effective media which contains instructions to enhance teaching and learning activities. There are several reasons proposed by Robert O’Neill (O'Neill, 1982) in using the coursebook. However, the educators especially teachers have to be clever in choosing a good coursebook. Some experts have certain criteria in choosing a good coursebook, but mostly they refer to the curriculum. Curriculum is the guideline of the national education. Nowadays, Indonesia uses a new curriculum called K-13 which stands for Curriculum 2013. Moreover, the government has published a coursebook entitled “When English Rings a Bell”. In the document of K-13, there is a competence achievement that should be achieved by the students in every level. The competence achievement refers to Revised Bloom Taxonomy (RBT) and the level of thinking skills which was proposed by Bloom. There are six levels in the level of thinking skills, which are remembering, understanding, applying, analyzing, evaluating and creating. According to the Curriculum 2013 – or K-13, the cognitive level that must be achieved by junior high school is in the domain of analyzing. This research would like to employ a checklist to analyze the reading questions in the coursebook. It is a valuable instrument to determine the cognitive level of the questions. In order to strengthen the data and make it valid, the researcher also applied data triangulation. The present study will analyze the compatibility of reading questions in the English coursebook grade 8 with the level of thinking skill.
