Abstract

This study aims to analyze the digital literacy skills of elementary school teachers. This study used quantitative research. The research subjects were 76 elementary school teachers. The research instruments used were observation sheets, interview guides, and questionnaires. The data analysis technique used in this research is a descriptive statistical analysis which is carried out by providing an overview of the data that has been collected and then making conclusions or descriptions related to the data. Based on the results of this study, it can be seen that the digital literacy skills of elementary school teachers need to be improved. This is done so that elementary school teachers can have good literacy skills in using and utilizing existing technology tools and digital media to design or design learning processes that are creative, innovative, and fun and can make students think critically. Also, good digital literacy skills can help teachers respond to the challenges of the times related to the application of mixed learning models in the world of education. A good teacher's digital literacy skills can help teachers transform learning so that it is more creative, innovative. Also, teachers can answer the challenges of the times related to the application of blended learning. A teacher who has good digital literacy skills shows that the teacher has a desire to continue to learn and develop his professional teaching.

Abstract

This research study was aimed (1) to investigate the difference in students learning achievement. (2) To investigate the difference in the students learning motivation level. This study was a quasi-experimental design with pretest-posttest control group. The population consisted of all third year students in the second semester of academic 2015/2016 of the English Education Department at Champasack University, Laos consisting of 60 students as the sample. The data were collected using listening comprehension pretest, posttest and a questionnaire for students learning motivation. The data was analyzed by using descriptive statistics and inferential statistics. The result of MANOVA indicated that (1) The students’ learning achievement in listening increased significantly after learning with films, F = 4.961 with p = 0.030. (2) The students’ learning motivation level increased significantly after they learned with films, F = 5.909 with p = 0.018, which is lower than 0.05. This study found a significant difference in listening achievement and learning motivation levels of the third year students.

Abstract

This research aims to investigate the language acquisition and development of a child with mild mental retardation in the 14th years old. The language acquisition is developed by appropriate treatment of caregivers including parent, family members, teachers, friends, and neighbors. Parent is the main caregiver that contributes language development of the child with mild mental retardation. The research uses qualitative approach in a case study as a research design. The results of this research show that the child got speech therapy in the 3rd years old and the parent provided facilities to develop language; such as story books, stationary, and gadgets. The child acquired four languages; Bahasa Indonesia, Javanese language, English language, and Arabic language since she went to school. Each language has different role in the child’s daily activities and communication. The schooling system contributed the child’s achievement academically and non-academically because she was studying at inclusive school with special teachers from psychology education background. In addition, neighborhood environment supported the child’s confidence to socialization.  Thus, this research is supposed to be a reference to the following researchers to discover more treatments to mentally retarded students in acquiring languages.

Abstract

Major potential effects of abrupt changes in educational settings particularly for education stakeholders such as teachers have been somewhat interesting to examine. This study examines how teachers of English as a Foreign Language (EFL) in different schooling levels acclimatize their experiences due to the unanticipated Covid-19 outbreak, which forced them to pursue Online Distance Learning (ODL). Employing a phenomenological approach, eight teachers from various educational and psychometric backgrounds in three different provinces in Indonesia shared their experiences in coping with the changes. Before engaging in two semi-structured interviews, they were invited to complete an e-reflection to share their feelings, concerns, difficulties, and challenges. To get to the core of their experience, the data were scrutinized following an interpretive phenomenological analysis which includes an early focus on the lines of inquiry, central concerns and important themes, identification of shared meanings, final interpretations, and the dissemination of the interpretations. The findings demonstrated that the changes created an ambivalent experience of being challenged and bored, prompting teachers to reflect on their existing practice and respond appropriately by combining empathy, new roles, and technology paramount through their self-directed learning (SDL). Further implications on teacher agency and identity are discussed to shed light on the reshaping of teacher identities due to ODL and SDL.

Abstract

Teaching materials are significant items that are unique and specific. Therefore, the selections should be relevant to students’ proficiency. This research aimed (1) to disclose lexical density, readability, nominalizations, and modifiers in pedagogical texts as teaching materials, (2) to reveal the linguistic features functional roles on text for pedagogical demand, and (3) to attempt to suggest consideration for simplification on authentic text. This research employed qualitative content analysis. The data sources were 18 pedagogical texts from senior high school textbooks by the Indonesian Ministry of Education. Human instruments and a text analyser for the automatic computation were utilized for the analysis under Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL) pilots. This research disclosed the appropriate text lexical density for senior high school students is a fairly difficult construction. Then, nominalizations within the texts are unpreventable and process nominalization is frequently used. The nominalization and the modifiers affect sentence complexities; the nominalizations function to condense information, collocate words, create cohesiveness, interfere with conciseness, and use as trans-categorization while modifiers are to add explicitness to nouns. The simplification considerations are by utilizing lexical density and readability algorithm, de-nominalization, measuring modifiers, and splitting substance of modifiers to increase text accessibility.
