Abstract

Bahasa mewakili ideologi, pengetahuan, dan nilai-nilai budaya bagi kebiasaan sosial dan individual. Ideologi semiotik mengacu pada asumsi yang mendasari tentang hubungan interpretasi antar simbol, fungsi simbol, dan pesan symbol yang terkandung dalam suatu budaya sebagai refleksi dari bagian pendidikan manusia. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menguji orientasi ideologi semiotik terjemahan yang mempengaruhi keakuratan teks terjemahan budaya. Data dianalisis berdasarkan metode terjemahan dan analisis semiotik (empiris, sintaksis, semantik, pragmatis) dalam teks terjemahan. Data diambil dari 30 mahasiswa Universitas Katolik Santo Thomas Sumatera Utara. Metode penelitian adalah teks deskriptif kualitatif dan merupakan bagian dari studi kasus. Analisis data mengungkapkan 16 data ideologi semiotik dalam terjemahan Tunggal Panaluan, yaitu datu, tunggal panaluan, the underworld dragon naga padoha, a scaled snake, bonang manalu, pre–Christian ideas, serpentine riding mounts, the incest between a pair of twins, exogamy, magical ingredients, animated, dogs- pigs- or water buffalo, sacrificial offerings, a brilliant reddish gleam, the autochthonous underworld dragon and the snake goddess (naga), a mythical creature called a singa, none of these datu were strong enough. Temuan ini memperkuat proses terjemahan bukanlah sekedar pengalihan pesan dari teks sumber ke teks sasaran, tetapi lebih merupakan proses pengalihan ideologi antarbudaya.

Abstract

AbstractEducation is very important, and very helpful in the growth and development of the human brain. That's why education should be given to humans from an early age. Because at that age, humans are still very easy to learn something. The social and cultural system becomes a form of the totality of values in society. Good social order values, behavior, and so on.  The social and cultural system is also an embodiment of the community itself, so it is very important for the community in it to know, study and also instill the social and cultural values of the community where they live. However, because culture has several unwritten forms and is so numerous, it will be very difficult to remember and practice all of them for people who are adults and already have a certain mind-bearing burden. An effective way for this culture to be attached to a person's personality is to introduce and teach it to individuals from an early age. Culture needs to be taught to children at an early age so that they do not get along and have bad habits in social relationships. However, it is unfortunate that education with social and cultural elements is not significant and still has a small portion. There are still many PAUD, Kindergarten, Play Group, and other early childhood education institutions that have not implemented it optimally. They mostly focus on how to raise children and teach them to read, write and count. Meanwhile, after the children enter Elementary School (SD), it becomes less and less difficult for them to learn materials with social and cultural elements.Keywords: Social, Culture, Early Childhood Education AbstrakPendidikan sangat penting, dan sangat membantu dalam pertumbuhan dan perkembangan otak manusia. Karena itulah pendidikan harus diberikan kepada manusia sejak dini. Karena pada usia tersebut, manusia masih sangat mudah mempelajari sesuatu. Sistem sosial budaya menjadi bentuk totalitas nilai dalam masyarakat. Tatanan sosial yang baik nilai, perilaku, dan sebagainya. Sistem sosial budaya juga merupakan perwujudan dari masyarakat itu sendiri, sehingga sangat penting bagi masyarakat di dalamnya untuk mengetahui, mempelajari dan juga menanamkan nilai-nilai sosial budaya masyarakat tempat mereka tinggal. Namun, karena budaya memiliki beberapa bentuk yang tidak tertulis dan jumlahnya sangat banyak, maka akan sangat sulit untuk mengingat dan mempraktikkan semuanya bagi orang yang sudah dewasa dan sudah memiliki beban pikiran tertentu. Cara efektif agar budaya ini melekat pada kepribadian seseorang adalah dengan mengenalkan dan mengajarkannya kepada individu sejak dini. Budaya perlu diajarkan kepada anak sejak dini agar tidak bergaul dan memiliki kebiasaan buruk dalam pergaulan. Namun sangat disayangkan pendidikan dengan unsur sosial budaya tidak signifikan dan masih memiliki porsi yang kecil. Masih banyak PAUD, TK, Play Group, dan lembaga pendidikan anak usia dini lainnya yang belum melaksanakannya secara optimal. Mereka kebanyakan fokus pada bagaimana membesarkan anak-anak dan mengajari mereka membaca, menulis, dan berhitung. Sementara itu, setelah anak-anak memasuki Sekolah Dasar (SD), mereka semakin sulit untuk mempelajari materi-materi yang mengandung unsur sosial budaya.Kata kunci: Sosial, Budaya, Pendidikan Anak Usia Dini

Abstract

The critical ability of English lecturers to education technology 4.0 could change the role of the traditional English lecturer because there needed to be a balance between soft skills and technological competencies. The value of digital transformation had shown that pedagogical interventions with student-centered pedagogy could design learning support goals and strategies and critically evaluate English lecturers’ self-management as professional trainers. The objectives of this study were to examine: (1) the role and innovation of English lecturers in the face of the paradigm shift in online learning, and (2) the conditions of digital learning related to lecturers` competencies. Focusing on qualitative data collected from 23 English lecturers at some higher education institutions in Indonesia, the results of English lecturer responses showed that the lecturers’ digital skills enhanced the following factors, such as knowledge, the students’ responsiveness to tasks, contextualized teaching and learning, and the stimulating of ideas as feedback thereby assisting the universities in recognizing the value of technology as their teaching needs. The data responses could reflect how the lecturers transformed learning through innovative pedagogical concepts and the use of digital in the classroom. Future research could strengthen the pedagogical profile for education 4.0 to master technology with a global view of world culture.

Abstract

The use of Bloom’s taxonomy to form knowledge, comprehension, application, analysis, synthesis, evaluation, and creation in choosing the type of reading test was to consider the role of higher and lower-order thinking skills in reading comprehension questions in English textbooks. The conceptual aspects of the reader's mental and visual response to the purpose of reading comprehension needs were the ability to generate new thoughts, separate ideas into parts, and judge the values of ideas by using appropriate criteria based on the text. This research contributed to the following questions: (1) the representation of Bloom’s taxonomy levels in English textbooks, and (2) the calculation of reading comprehension questions in each level of Bloom’s taxonomy. Using a qualitative approach with content analysis, the results showed that the types of reading comprehension questions could foster the student’s critical thinking regarding acquiring learning objectives in the English curriculum. Most of the question was focused on comprehension level (26%), knowledge/remember level (17%), application level (16%), synthesis level (14%), analysis level (13%), evaluation level (11%), and creation level (3%). By applying Bloom's taxonomy, English teachers were suggested to classify their instructional objectives and learning goals.
