Abstract

ABSTRACT Popular known as PPL stands for Praktik Pengalaman Lapangan, the pre-service teacher education program in Indonesia is at critical condition, as it is seen from the pre-service teacher’s mastery content knowledge, inquiry, collaboration/ partnership, and accountability. By using a comparative study, I give direct comparison PPL to PDS. PDS or Professional Development School is a program facilitates the pre-service teacher candidates to have teaching experience and develop their professionalism. I try to uncover the principles of PPL and PDS and exemplify how these principles are implemented in practices. In this paper, I propose a new PPL model by evaluating the PPL practice, adopting PDS principles and restructuring toward PPL model in order to improve teaching quality in Indonesia.

Abstract

Dewasa ini menulis belum menjadi minat dan kegemaran anak Indonesia. Salah satu keterampilan menulis yang harus dikuasai oleh kaum intelektual adalah menulis karya ilmiah. Salah satu SMA yang sangat konsen dengan kegiatan penulisan karya ilmiah adalah SMA Islam Terpadu Ihsanul Fikri Mungkid Kabupaten Magelang. Berdasarkan hasil observasi dan wawancara yang dilakukan terhadap siswa dan guru di SMA Islam Terpadu Ihsanul Fikri, keterampilan menulis karya tulis ilmiah siswa masih sangat perlu ditingkatkan. Salah satu kendala yang mencolok tampak dari produksi karya ilmiah yang dihasilkan oleh para siswa baik dari segi kualitas dan kuantitas masih belum sesuai harapan. Kegiatan pengabdian kepada masyarakat ini menggunakan Model Latihan Partisipatif (Participatory Training Model). Peserta program kemitraan masyarakat ini sebanyak 60 orang dari unsur siswa dan guru. Kegiatan ini dilakasanakan dalam 8 kali pertemuan. Secara umum pelaksanaan pengabdian kepada masyarakat berjalan dengan lancar sesuai dengan target yang ditetapkan oleh tim pelaksana. Indikatornya: antusiasme peserta program dalam mengikuti program pengabdian, ketercapaian luaran, yaitu 10 proposal yang telah diunggah ke laman LKIR LIPI, sambutan yang positif dari kepala sekolah, serta bantuan dari guru pendamping selama kegiatan pengabdian berlangsung. Melalui pendampingan ini siswa menjadi lebih literat, mengintepretasi permasalahan secara kritis, dan ditindaklanjuti dengan kegiatan produktif yang relevan, yaitu penulisan karya ilmiah remaja.

Abstract

The present study focuses on the implementation of traditional diagnostic test for speaking skill in the form of an interview with no specific set of corrective procedure. However, it triggers more increasing worries on the significance of standardized test such as not being able to unlock students’ speaking potential. This study highlights on Dynamic Assessment (DA) based on the Vygotsky’s Sociocultural Theory (1978). Fundamentally, DA inserts mediation process such as prompts, hints, and leading questions in its interview process. This study compares the efficacy of Dynamic Assessment (DA) and the standardized diagnostic test/Non-Dynamic Assessment (NDA) in diagnosing and unlocking their potential. Using a quasi-experimental research with non-equivalent group design (NEGD), this study focused on four micro speaking skills including pronunciation, vocabulary, grammar, and fluency. The results suggested that the use of DA was able to identify their current speaking performance and uncover their speaking potential even if some were claimed to have the similar speaking level. While, the standardized test (NDA) emphasized only on the current performance and was not able to elicit their potential.

Abstract

The issue, dealing with gamification to foster learners’ motivation and vocabulary in learning English, has been investigated recently. It is perceived that gamification will directly affect the teaching-learning process and determine the learning ambiance. This study aims to shed light on the extent of the employment of Jeopardy Classroom Instruction to foster EFL learners’ motivation to learn English vocabulary. The study deployed an action research method with three phases of pre-cycle, cycle 1, and cycle 2. Pre-cycle was to document the initial classroom condition before using Jeopardy Classroom Instruction, while cycle 1 and cycle 2 were for knowing the teaching-learning process situation during the use of Jeopardy Classroom Instruction. The participants were junior high school students. The data were collected through observation, closed-ended questionnaire, and students’ score. The results suggested that Jeopardy Classroom Instruction is an adjunct to aid students’ motivation to learn vocabulary. It helped students to acquire self-belief, learning focus, the value of learning, study management, planning and monitoring and persistence. Also, it mitigated some motivation guzzlers such as learning anxiety, low control, failure avoidance and self-sabotage that might hinder them from learning vocabulary. HIGHLIGHTS: Jeopardy Classroom Instruction helped students to acquire self-belief, learning focus, the value of learning, study management, planning and monitoring and persistence. It mitigated some motivation guzzlers such as learning anxiety, low control, failure avoidance and self- sabotage that might hinder them from learning vocabulary.

Abstract

This study reports a case study research in Writing Blended Learning Environment for higher education that enriched digital environment study especially in the pandemic of Covid-19. It examines the students’ writing apprehension and their performance as perceived by a selected group of EFL students who enroll in Professional Writing class. Questionnaires were administered to three writing lecturers and fifty students of the English Department, Universitas Tidar. The obtained data were analyzed quantitatively using descriptive statistics, while those obtained from the interview were analyzed qualitatively using Miles, Huberman, and Saldana’s model (2014). The findings show that there are many challenges faced by both the teachers and the students when they implemented this writing blended learning environment. Though, some challenges give not only the pitfalls but also positive contribution to the students’ learning progress in their writing. The study found that students need specific and intensive instruction, practice, and feedback for improving their writing skills. It is also found that learning writing through writing blended learning environment is somehow interesting and also challenging in some covered topics and activities, while lecturers still have their instructional and pedagogical roles in a blended learning environment.
