Abstract

Expressing ideas using accurate sentences is commonly a problematic case for freshmen students due to lack of sentence structure knowledge and inadequate drillings in classroom. It happens because a lot of freshmen students still produce meaningless and unclear sentences in writings. This phenomenon applies to freshmen students of Bina Nusantara University (BINUS), who took English subject in the first semester. Thus, this study attempts to investigate whether Sentence Combining Drills can improve sentence accuracy of BINUS freshmen students who took English Access. For data collection, the study gathered the data from forty eight freshmen students who share similarity in upper-intermediate level of English. The research method will scrutinize the results from the students’ scores and students’ opinions about positive improvements as written in the questionnaires. The study used descriptive qualitative analysis to discuss the findings. The findings of the research proved that practicing sentence combining exercises can boost the scores of sentence constructions and improves the quality of students’ writing. At the same time, the results of the study are valuable for enriching approaches of teaching academic writing in EFL contexts.

An indicator of the learning effectiveness could be seen from the student’s mastery of concepts and whether the concept was long embedded in his memory or the so-called retention. Good retention is one of the factors that will conduct the learning process goes smoothly. The reality shows that the academic ability of each individual is different, and the student’s mastery of concept and retention are still low, so the selection of strategy is an important factor and learning strategy of PDEODE(Predict-Discuss-Explain-Observe-Discuss-Explain) becomes the choice. The aim of this research is to explain the effect of learning strategy of PDEODE on the mastery of concept and retention in nutrition and health course on students with different academic ability in biology education of PGRI Ronggolawe University, Tuban. This study was a quasi-experimental research and the research design was pretest-posttest control group random subjects. The results of Manova indicated that 1) there was a difference in the mastery of concepts on nutrition and health subject among the students who were taught by PDEODE and conventionally, 2) there was a difference in retention on nutrition and health subject among students who were taught by PDEODE and conventionally, 3) there was a difference of mastery of concepts on nutrition and health subject among the students with the high academic ability and low academic ability, 4) there was a difference of retention on nutrition and health subject among the students with the high academic ability and low academic ability, 5) there was interaction between learning strategy and academic ability on the student’s mastery of concept on nutrition and health subject, 6) there was interaction between learning strategy and academic ability on the retention of the students on nutrition and health subject.

Abstract

This study investigates the effects of Experiential Learning in teaching writing from the perspective of students’ self-efficacy by means of a comparative experiment concerning on the experimental group taught by Experiential Learning and the control group by using Direct Instruction. The sixty students of a senior high school in Central Java, Indonesia were chosen randomly and participated in this research. These participants are asked to compose a text in order to examine their writing skill after having eight-meeting treatments and fulfil the self-efficacy questionnaire. The results show that Experiential Learning guides the students to achieve significantly a greater writing skill than those using Direct Instruction and the high self-efficacious students perform better writing skill than those having low self-efficacy. Additionally, it was found that there is an interaction between those methods and students self-efficacy in writing skill. Therefore, Experiential Learning is suggested as an alternative teaching method in constructing students’ writing skill and self-efficacy.
