Abstract

This study focused on congruency of culture of home and school of children from Chinese-Australian families as a major factor in their academic success. Qualitative approach wasused for uncovering three key things, namely, 1) conditions and interactions at home; 2)children’s behavior and interaction in classroom; 3) children’ activities after school hoursand at weekends. The approach considered to be appropriate to capture what teachers,parents and children say and do as a product of how they interpret the complexity of theirworld. Data collected by using ethnographic techniques, mainly participant observationand conversational interviews. There were seven children from five Chinese-Australianfamilies residing in Perth metropolitan area involved in the study. The families immigratedfrom Malaysia, Singapore, and Hong Kong. Analysis indicated that Chinese-Australianparents pushed their children far beyond their limits in their drive for academic excellence.They made their home suitable for studying and ensured continuity between homes andschool. Impulse control, deferment of short term gratification, effort/hard work, andscholastic achievement were Chinese cultural values implanted by the parents. Chinese-Australian children met most of their teachers’ demands. Consequently, their interactionswith their teachers were in more positive ways.Key words: Chinese-Australian families, impressive performance students

Abstract

Globalization impacts the order of society, nationhood, and statehood in Indonesia. One change brought about is the emergence of public behavior that does not reflect the values of nationalism. This calls for the revitalization of character education as part of an effort to maintainthe values of nationalism in the community. This article aims to provide an overview of the importance and urgency to revitalize character education for nationalism through a qualitative approach. Previously, the Government revitalized the nationalism concept education policy implemented during the New Order era. Based on recent findings, there are a number of factorssupporting and hindering the policy implementation of nationalism education at present. The role of character education is found to be notably significant; therefore, the option to revive character education to maintain nationalism values in Indonesia is empirical and logical.

Abstract

Problem solving is important for mathematical learning because it enables students to enhance high thinking skills and positive attitudes. This research aimed at describing and comparing the abilities of junior high school students in grade VIII from one of the regencies/cities in Central Kalimantan (Indonesia) in solving mathematical problems based on schools’ accreditations (A, B, C, and unaccredited), and schools’ status (public and private). The researcher gave three mathematical problems to the students from 20 samples of schools. The schools were randomly selected from the population consisting of 62 junior high schools. Each student’s solution was scored using a holistic rubric. The scores were summarized using some statistics represented in tables and graphics and were analyzed using a Kruskal-Wallis nonparametric test because the data were not normally distributed. The finding indicated that the average scores of the public and private schools’ students were 4.71 and 3.49 (scale 0-12), respectively. Based on the percentages, namely 1.91% and 39.66%, the students were classified as good and naive problem solvers, respectively. Further test revealed that the students from the A-accredited public schools significantly achieved the highest score for problem solving skills. Meanwhile, the students in the A-accredited and the unaccredited private schools did not show a significant difference in the skills. Similar result was also found in the public schools which were accredited B and C, and unaccredited.

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.

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

This paper examines the effectiveness and outcomes of an innovative teacher education for ‘beginning’ teachers with full careers in other professions and industries. Data were gathered over 3 years to study the experience of these teachers who undertake their initial teacher education and enter the profession simultaneously.  This work is a benchmark practice of Victoria University (VU) commitment to enhancing educational access, participation and success for young people in the region. VU has formed a partnership with secondary schools delivering VET and the Department of Education and Early Childhood Development to address teacher shortages in secondary schools.  The Career Change Program (CCP) has been developed to address this shortage by attracting qualified professionals with industry experience to teach in teacher-short-supplied subject areas. Praxis Inquiry (PI) model of teacher education is developed and applied by focusing on teacher learning in school settings. The program aims to set in place practices and procedures in partnership with key stakeholders that provide a framework for sustainable recruitment, selection and education of Career Change Teachers in Vocational Education.  This framework will develop an international best practice of teacher education constructed as a partnership between schools, communities and university.

Abstract

This study was designed to examine the possible constraints that can affect high school students’ mathematics performance in five selected high schools in Awi-zone and west- Gojam. Observations and reports from examining bodies revealed that a high percentage of secondary school students continue to perform poorly in mathematics examinations. From a total of forty high schools, five were selected using simple random sampling technique. The respective sections were selected using purposive sampling techniques. Four sections were selected from each school. Then, 250 samples of students were employed using comprehensive sampling technique. To obtain data, questionnaire, classroom observation, and semi-structured interviews were used. 50 students from each school were selected using simple random sampling technique for the questionnaire. Similarly, three teachers from each of the sample school were selected using simple random sampling technique for the questionnaire, classroom observation and interview. The quantitative data were analyzed using one sample t-test whereas the qualitative one was analyzed using descriptive interpretations. The findings showed that students have laid claim on the problem of scoring passing mark as a result of poor mathematics performance. In addition, the result indicates that teachers possess the theories and their application of indirect instruction, organizing mathematics lessons, classroom management using assessment techniques. The findings also implied that there are opportunities to improve students’ performance in mathematics in the high schools to the expected level. Furthermore, the findings showed that paraphrasing math word problems can improve some students' performance. In relation to the findings of the study, recommendations are forwarded.

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.
