Abstract

This study investigates the challenges that six pre-service EFL teachers of a Bachelor ofEducation (Sarjana Pendidikan) program experienced in conducting field practicum. This studyemploys a qualitative research design, with a phenomenological approach. Data was gatheredthrough in-depth interviews. The interview data was then scrutinized and codified, respectiveto emergent themes through thematic analysis procedures (Merriam, 1988 in Emilia, 2007,p. 84). The findings showed that the pre-service teachers experienced challenges related tolesson preparation, classroom management, and communication breakdown within their fieldpracticum. The study concludes with a recommendation and justification for teacher preparationprograms to provide pre-service teachers with: robust theoretical frameworks in order to designinstruction; practical experience in classroom management; profound knowledge of Englishlanguage; and activities that develop strong confidence in teaching. In addition, teacherpreparation programs are endorsed to formally inform mentor teachers regarding their rolesand responsibilities in the practicum.Keywords: Pre-service teachers, teacher preparation programs, field practicum

Abstract

The paper discusses direct elections of local government leaders that have contributed to thecorruption in Indonesia and focuses on the quality of electoral process. This study aimed atidentifying the contribution of direct elections of local leaders on corrupt practices in Indonesia.It applied a quantitative research method and involved 85 provincial, district and city areas assamples in the Indonesian islands of Java, Sumatra, Sulawesi, Kalimantan, Nusa Tenggara,Maluku and Papua. The study proves that direct local elections have significant effects oncorruption committed by the heads of district government. Both process and quality of directlocal elections has jointly demonstrated a meaningful and significant effect on the corruption bylocal leaders. Thus, the better quality and process will immediately lower the corruption rate. Incontrast, the lower quality and process will contribute to a higher corruption rate. Partially, theinfluence of the local election process is more powerful than the quality of direct local elections,since direct local election process requires the government to spend a vast amount of funding onthe preparation, implementation, validation and the inauguration of the elect local governmentleaders. This study only involved 85 areas that have organized direct local elections. A furtherstudy should be expanded to more sample areas in order to collect more data that can completethe current research findings.Keywords: Direct local elections, corruption, local government leaders, district, city.

Abstract

Geometry is a basic mathematical concept studied at all education levels. However empiricalevidence suggests there are many students who have difficulties learning geometry. One ofmany factors that enhances the success of students’ understanding of geometry is students’ senseof spatial ability. Seeking ways to support students’ development of spatial sense, researchersstudied the impact of Computer-Based Interactive Multimedia Instruction. This study was quasiexperimental in nature with Pretest and Post-test Control Group Design. The participants of thestudy were second grade students of two public junior high schools that were classified as schoolsof high and middle level ranking, in Bandung. The instruments utilized in this study consistedof prior mathematical skills test (KAM) and spatial sense ability test. The results suggested that:(1a) generally the students’ spatial sense ability and learning independency were enhanced usingComputer-Based Interactive Multimedia Instruction, compared with conventional learning;(1b) there were no differences in the enhancement achievements between students’ spatial senseability and conventional learning related to school ranking level; (1c) according to KAM, therewere significant enhancements of student’s spatial sense ability between high, middle, and lowKAM; (2) There is no interaction of effect between learning (CBIM and CVL) and school levelto the enhancement of ability of students’ spatial sense. (3) There is no interaction of effectbetween learning (CBIM and CVL) and KAM to the enhancement of ability of students’ spatialsense.Keywords: geometry, spatial sense, computer-based interactive multimedia, learning difficulties.

Abstract

The understanding of human nature is very important for human resource development, becausethat understanding will be a starting point in establishing development objectives, developmentstrategies, method selection, and the types of media used. The main problem that has arisenso far is that the understanding of human nature is only based on the results of quantitativeresearch, without considering the information from the Essence of the Supreme Creator ofhuman (revelation), and consequently there are missing elements which limit the developmentof human resources. These studies only discuss things relating to physical, psychological, andsocial aspects; while important things such as the human creation process and its purpose,humanity’s status before God, its potential and its development have not received enoughattention. To find answers to the above shortcomings, qualitative research utilizing documentstudy techniques of Quranic main verses relating to humanity was conducted. It was conductedusing maudhu’i interpretation, namely by studying verses which are related to humanity throughthe understanding of the interpreters of the Quran. It was revealed that humans do not exist bythemselves. There is a creator that is God The Almighty. The purpose of human creation is toworship Him till the end of his life. Humans cannot determine the result of their own effortsbecause their lives partly still depend on God’s permission. Human life is not only here andnow, but there will be a life hereafter, where humans will receive the rewards of what theydo during their life in the world. Some characteristics which differentiate humans from othercreatures were also found. From the beginning of their creation they are equipped with “faith”;there is the mind which allows man to be able to distinguish between right and wrong, and theconscience that enables humans to know the things beyond the sensory.Keywords: human, natural tendency, conscience, Quran, maudhu’i interpretation.
