Abstract

This article reports on a two-year-long action research project, where Assessment for Learning (AfL) was implemented in a tertiary foreign language classroom in China. It aims to seek answers to three research questions. First, to what extent can AfL impact on learner autonomy? Second, to what extent can AfL effectively improve learners’ proficiency of the target language? Third, what factors may influence the implementation of AfL? The qualitative data elicited from the interviews with learners, triangulated with the quantitative data from questionnaires, revealed that AfL is a rather effective way of promoting learner autonomy. In addition, quantitative data from a pre- and post-test lend support to the hypothesis that AfL in general achieves overall beneficial effects on learners’ language proficiency, though there are differential effects on sub-groups, i.e. female vs. male, and Shanghainese vs. non-Shanghainese. This study also pinpoints certain factors that are possibly conducive to or constraining the implementation of AfL in the Chinese EFL context.

Abstract

This paper discusses the arguments found in a student’ academic writing, namely a thesis. It attempts to show how an argument is built in a student’s thesis in the Department of Islamic Education, Faculty of Tarbiyah and Education, Islamic University of Bandung by drawing upon the theory of Toulmin (2003). The results of this research show that verse, hadith, and exegesis become the starting point of the argument to be presented in the thesis. However, there is a discrepancy between the verses used as warrant’s claim and the data on the student’s thesis. Consequently, the argument becomes unstable because of the inconsistencies of argument elements. The implication of this research is concerned with the supervision process of a student’s thesis that should give more emphasis on how the student makes his or her arguments correctly.

Abstract

The study was conducted to map the misconception pattern of chemistry prospective teachers who learned acid-base and argentometric titration. Further, it attempts to minimize misconception through a multiple representation model of learning chemistry with cognitive dissonance strategy. The first treatment was done on acid-base titration and the second treatment on argentometric titration materials. The multiple choice test with open reasons was administered to 30 undergraduate students. The finding shows that 28.6% students have the same pattern of misconception while learning in both of the courses. After the treatment, misconception decreased to 9.5% on the first treatment, and 9.4% on the second treatment. The model was found to be suitable to decrease the misconception, but could not change the misconception into “zero misconception”, especially for microscopic and symbolic representations.

Abstract

The implementation of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in higher education institutions plays an important role in realizing the competitive advantage, especially in the realization of the three pillars of higher education. In order for the implementation of ICT in higher education institutions to be effective, adequate support from infrastructure, human resources, and leader and organizational commitment is needed. The research focuses on and aims to describe the effectiveness of ICT implementation in student academic services, covering ICT policies and programs, ICT implementation strategies, ICT implementation, and the effectiveness of ICT implementation in student academic services. In addition, it attempts to formulate a hypothetical model of ICT implementation in student academic services. The research adopted the analytical-descriptive method through qualitative approach. Data were collected through interviews, observations, and documentary analysis. Afterwards, the data were analyzed through data reduction, data display, inference drawing, and verification. The research took place in Bandung Institute of Technology. The findings show that: The ICT policies and programs are based on the implementation of the three pillars of higher education (education, research, and community service); the strategies give emphasis on coordination patterns; ICT implementation in academic services is realized through e-learning (online, blended learning, video conference), academic information system, and digital library; the effectiveness of the ICT implementation is analyzed based on the realization of the program at the level of unit (decision-focused approach), performance achievement (goal-oriented approach), and student satisfaction (user-oriented approach) in terms of tangibles, reliability, responsiveness, assurance, and empathy. It is recommended that ICT implementation in academic services should be able to realize the competitive advantage of the implementation of the three pillars of higher education, which is in accordance with the institution’s vision, missions, and strategic goals, supported by the availability of infrastructure, human resources, funds, managerial and organizational commitment, and periodical evaluation and monitoring.

Abstract

In 2045, Indonesia is determined to have a golden generation in order to improve the nation's competitiveness. However, in reality the condition of teenagers today is very alarming. The data show about 93 out of 100 elementary school students have already consumed pornography; about 21 out of 100 young women have abortions; some 135 teenagers become victims of violence every day; 5 out of 100 adolescents contract sexually transmitted diseases; 63 out of 100 teens have sex before marriage. School teachers should take active roles in minimizing such unhappy figure and prepare the golden generation. This article proposes local culture and local moral to complete the Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPCK+) within the challenge of the 21st century skills. The objectives are to provide pre-service English Teachers at Universitas PGRI Semarang and pre-service English teachers in general with the ability to develop English course content in the students’ cultural context as well as local characters and to equip the pre-service teachers with the 21st century skills. The subjects were 345 pre-service English Teachers who took the TEFL, Teaching Media, and ESP Courses during the academic year of 2015/2016 and 2016/2017. The data were collected through observation, teaching practice, and self-evaluation. The results show 84.92% of the students were included under the category of “good” and “very good” in pedagogical skills, 77.38 % in pedagogical content knowledge, and 87.53 % in cultural and local wisdom context in content development, but only 51.58% in technological knowledge. For improving technological knowledge of the pre-service students, there should be more training on the use of technology before and during the process of teaching and learning of pre-service English teachers.

Abstract

Communicators must have a ‘pact’; right idea, equals the ‘right words’. Although text is taken wholly to get to the meaning, every word contributes to the message sent for a powerful effect to the receiver. For language to work, participants must therefore be in full control of the words to be used. How these words are framed or intertextualized brings the hedging system of the ESP students. To achieve precision in ESP writing is not simply done by stringing words. To effectively communicate, there are underlying principles to apply to improve constant human interaction. In order to maintain such relationship in the technical world, each participant must not totally eradicate the ‘feeling’ to get across to the meaning. The study aimed at finding out the use of hedges and the effects of task types caused by framing of ideas and whether these hedges were significant to Filipino ESP writers. Common practices were identified as well as some pedagogical implications in the writing of technical discourses. Using introspection and contextual analysis, the researcher was able to analyze hedges varying from words, phrases, to clauses. The researcher found nonsensicality in intextualizing ESP texts and had no bearing on the hedging system of the ESP writers.

Abstract

Despite the progress that has been carried out in different areas of society in recent years, human rights are still violated in various ways in different parts of the world. This article chooses an educational proposal based on human rights in order to assert their importance through various practical activities carried out in higher education, particularly in a compulsory subject of the degree in English Studies in a Spanish University. The purpose of the chosen activities is that students reflect on human rights so that they can improve their critical awareness and their commitment in defending them. This educational proposal combines the development of the different skills requested in a language subject (listening, speaking, reading, writing and interaction), the acquisition of values and the importance of human rights. The proposed activities contribute to students’ progress as active, critical, ethical and committed citizens, who are able to become aware of the different ways in which human rights are violated. Moreover, they are able to provide coherent responses based on the approach that has been followed in the teaching-learning process. Therefore, it is concluded that the educational approach presented in this article is suitable for students to be sensitized, to develop social awareness, and to acquire different skills.

Abstract

This research aims to determine the effectiveness of project-based learning method using mind maps in science learning for the topic of waste management and its solution to improve students’ environmental attitudes. It adopted a quasi-experimental method with the pretest-posttest control group design. The subjects of the research consisted of the seventh grade students of two classes in one of the private junior high schools in Bandung Regency. The instrument used for data collection was a pretest and posttest on environmental attitudes for students, a questionnaire, and observations of environmental attitudes of the students from peer assessment, teacher’s observations in the school, and parents’ observations at home. The data were analyzed by considering the gain value with its normalization and counting the size effect. The results of the data analysis indicated that gain g = 0.61 for the experimental class and g = 0.41 for the control class, and effect size d = 0.37. These values mean that there were improvements in the students’ environmental attitudes in the school and at home after the application of project-based learning with mind maps. It is concluded that PjBL (Project-Based Learning) method using mind maps for the theme of waste and its management works effectively since it has a small effect on improving students’ environmental attitudes.

Abstract

A good education is not only about academics, but also the positive social interaction in classroom. Therefore, there is a need to build rapport in classroom interaction. In building rapport, EFL teachers need to conduct several activities, and through self-assessment, teachers can monitor and evaluate their own teaching for professional development. However, self-assessment instrument for building rapport has not been developed yet by any researchers. To fill the needs, this study is established to construct a self-assessment for teacher in building rapport in EFL classroom. By applying design research from a curriculum perspective, the results revealed a self-assessment instrument of maintaining rapport for EFL teacher. The Cronbach’s alpha coefficient (α = .928) of this instrument indicated high reliability and the instrument can be considered a reliable instrument to be used for the study sample. EFL teachers can do self-monitoring and self-evaluation on their rapport building in classroom interaction. Additionally, further research in investigating the effect of using this instrument in assessing teacher’s quality is required.
