Abstract

The main objectives of this research are to develop a valid and practical Conceptual Change Texts (CCTs) material related to Newtonian Mechanics and to test the influence of the CCTs in order to increase students’ conceptual understanding and overcome their misconceptions in the relevant topics. The research is divided in to two years comprising of three steps, namely 1) preliminary study, 2) design development, and 3) product testing. This article reports some result of the first year research for kinematics materials. The method for the first and the second steps are descriptive qualitative and development research, respectively. Based on the analysis of the preliminary data it is found the weakness of the basic and standard competencies for Newtonian Mechanics materials in Basic Physics 1 course and it has been changed from 7 to 9 standard competencies. It was also arranged essential material and found 9 common misconceptions in kinematics, namely velocity and acceleration are considered equal, position and velocity are considered equal, velocity is not as vector quantity, ego-centered reference frame, heavier objects fall faster, gravity increase as an object falls, acceleration differs along the trajectory of a projectile motion, an object thrown vertically upward from a linier moving object will land behind this moving object, and a bullet will not hit a target if the target falls downat the same time the bullet is fired. These findings are basis to develop the CCTs. It is developing the CCTs for kinematics comprises of: case, question(s), space to answer and reason, kinds of misconceptions, and explanation of the right concepts. The CCTs in turn can be utilized to improve learners’ conceptual understandings and to remediate their misconceptions toward the truer concepts in the Kinematics topics.

Abstract

The aims of this quasi experimental study were to investigate whether or not there was (1) a significant improvement of students’ reading comprehension achievement after being taught by using Tea Party strategy, and (2) the significant difference of reading comprehension achievement between the students who were taught by using Tea Party strategy and those who were not. The population of this study was 282 eighth graders of one state junior high school in Palembang. The sample chosen was 60 students who were divided equally to the experimental and control groups. In collecting the data, pretest and posttest that consisted of 40 items were given to both groups. The result showed that there was a significant improvement in students’ reading comprehension achievement after getting the treatment and there was a significant difference of the students’ reading comprehension achievement in both groups.

Abstract

Teaching and learning process is the core of education that determines the quality of education. Therefore, if there is a quality decrease of education, the first thing that should be evaluated is its teaching and learning process quality. EF-EPI (English First- English Proficiency Index) in 2014 released that Indonesian score was 52.74 which was far from the highest score. In addition, EFA global monitoring report of UNESCO (2014) also points out that Indonesia belongs to ten countries which account 72% of the global population of illiterate adults. Those results show that quality of education in Indonesia still dissatisfied. The quality of teaching and learning process depends on three aspects; (1) the students’ participation level on learning activities, (2) teachers’ roles in teaching and learning process, (3) learning environment. The second aspect is considered as crucial thing focussed by the experts since teacher is the manager and leader of learning process. Recently, not only students’ motivation but also teachers’ motivation affects students’ academic achivement. It is assumed that dissatified results of Indonesian education quality is caused by demotivation of teachers. This paper is aimed at discussing the causes and solutions of teachers’ demotivation in ELT.

Teaching media for language learning especially in writing skill is needed since writing is the most difficult skill to be acquired. One of media for improving writing skill is picture-based media. In this case,Multifunctional Folklore Card (MFC), a medium designed and created for English learning by Bella, Rizqiyah, Tasykirah, Andani, Pangestu and Inderawati (2015), offers picture-based for writing skill learning particularly in narrative text. The term multifunctional in this media refers to its functions to be applied for improving students’ English skill.

A study of MFC has been conducted by Bella et al. (2015), it focused on vocabulary achievement from students of MTs Ilham Palembang which let students to match similar meaning between local language and English. Besides using media for writing skill improvement, Idea-Details strategy also helps the learners to organize their narrative writing from MFC picture cards into a complete narrative text paragraph with the table of pre-writing activity on idea and details from those pictures.This paper aims to elaborate the use of MFC as a medium in narrative writing skill improvement and the use of Idea-Details as the strategy in helping students to organize their narrative text writing
