Abstract

The use of Indonesian proficiency tests for non-native speakers of Bahasa Indonesia is still equated with tests for native speakers. This has become a point of debate for many teachers and experts of Indonesian for Foreigners (Bahasa Indonesia untuk Penutur Asing - BIPA). The crux of the debate focuses on whether the same proficiency test should be used for both native speakers (NS) and non-native speakers (NNS) alike, or whether separate tests should be developed. In accordance with the peculiarities of Bahasa Indonesia, Indonesian proficiency tests for NS and NNS should be differentiated. The underdevelopment of specialized proficiency tests for NNS can be explained by the fact that Bahasa Indonesia is not one of the dominant languages learned in the world today. This research aims to develop materials for an Indonesian proficiency test for NNS. The development of the test focuses on reading comprehension. To advance development of the test, discussions of the processes for defining the theoretical construct as well as empirical analysis of students' result were combined. The method used in this study involved expert review, text readability analysis, and item analysis. The findings show that the test items developed can be used to test students’ proficiency, particularly in reading comprehension.

Abstract

A multitude of strategies are being utilized by the teachers to engage students in the classroom activities and foster critical thinking which can ignite their interest in the lesson. However, very few researches have been conducted on students’ preferences in these different motivational strategies. This cross-sectional survey research explores the preferred motivational strategies in science instruction among 106 high school students in a public secondary school in Zambales, Philippines. The motivational strategies were classified based on Howard Gardner’s theory on multiple intelligences. The study found out that the students moderately preferred visual-auditory (M=2.88), logical-mathematical (M=2.70) and kinesthetic (M=2.60) motivational strategies. Science trivia, picture presentation, and mini labwork are the most common motivational strategies used by Science teachers. The study recommends that teachers may utilize engaging, relevant, and learner-centered motivational strategies to make Science instruction more alive and more effective. The use of varied strategies to arouse students’ interest may also be observed to cater the students’ multiple intelligences.

Abstract

Two-tier multiple-choice (2TMC) has been introduced as an instrument to analyze a conceptual understanding at tier 1 and reasoning to the answer at tier 2. Even there are many studies on using the instrument; there is still relatively little attention on scoring method. Therefore, this study aimed to compare difficulties and to see if there is a correlation between responses at the phenomenon and reasoning tier. The instrument namely representational systems and chemical reaction diagnostic instrument (RSCRDI) containing 15 items were translated into Indonesian language and validity and reliability of the instrument were established. RSCRDI was tested with 185 pre-service chemistry teachers (19 males and 166 females). Their raw data were converted into logit, and it was found that the phenomenon tier was slightly more difficult. Based on Pearson correlation test, it is found that the phenomenon tier and reasoning tier were significantly correlated, r=.362, p-value <0.001.

Abstract

A body of literature has shown that teaching anxiety is one among other critical issues encountered by pre-service teachers when performing classroom teaching during a teaching practicum program. The current study attempted to examine the contributing factors to this anxiety among pre-service teachers performed the teaching of English as a foreign language (EFL) during their practicum in primary and secondary schools in Indonesia. To this end, 202 pre-service EFL teachers were asked to complete Teaching Anxiety Scale (TCHAS) questionnaire. Statistical analyses were performed to the collected quantitative data. Findings of the study revealed that there was statistical difference between male and female on the anxiety factor of ‘being unable to answer students’ question’ (F = 6.724, p < .05) but not on other factors of ‘incompetent in classroom’ (F = 3.568, p>.05), ‘dislike teaching’ (F = .001, p>.05), ‘career uncertainty’ (F = 1.238, p>.05), and ‘the negative attitude of the students’ (F = 3.713, p>.05). Findings of the study also showed that teaching anxiety was experienced by pre-service EFL teachers teaching at primary school, lower secondary school and upper secondary school during the teaching practicum with similar level of anxiety.

Abstract

The paper presents two connecting studies on the linguistic mentality of the Hungarian society to regional dialects. The focus of the study is to find an explanation of the problem that Hungarians learn to respect diversity, although, misbeliefs and standard-based culture usually lead to debates in communication or even to linguicism. The main hypotheses are: white-collar-to-be students cannot apply what they learnt about dialects, therefore, many corrections are motivated by regionalisms of which they are not aware, and it is all rooted in problems of teacher training and practice related to language variability. 548 university students 170 teachers in middle and high schools were asked in questionnaires about their language attitudes and everyday experiences and practice. The results highlighted: while tolerant attitudes are represented theoretically, standard-based practice suggests negative lessons about dialects.

Abstract

This study examined the motivational framework of the academic scholars and student leaders in terms of their achievement goals, sense of self, and facilitating conditions. Respondents were 163 scholars and 85 student leaders. Utilizing the Inventory of School Motivation, Sense of Self Scale (SOS), and facilitating Conditions Questionnaire (McInerney et al., 2001), they were purposively chosen since they have different social processes, characteristics, and of different experiences. The survey questionnaire aimed to explore their motivations in pursuing their activities and to recognize their values and goals. Anchored on Personal Investment (PI) Theory (Maehr & Braskamp, 1986), this study explored the similarities and differences of the motivational characteristics of these two groups of students and how they have invest their resources, energy, time and talent. Descriptive comparative and causal - correlation were used to guide the analysis of this research. Pearson was used to determine the relationship between socio-demographic and academic related characteristics of the respondents and motivational framework, and the inter-correlation of the different components of the motivational framework. Results revealed that the two groups have multiple achievement goals. They were high in achievement goals and on mastery goals but differed in performance goals, social goals and extrinsic goals. In terms of sense of self, they have high knowledge and beliefs about oneself and moderate social support (facilitating conditions). These two groups likewise differed in adopting achievement goals, particularly in terms of mastery goals where the academic scholars scored higher in task goals than the student leaders. They also differed in performance goals, particularly in social power where the student leaders got significantly higher score than the academic scholars.

Abstract

This study traced the graduates of Agricultural Science and Technology School (ASTS) in the Philippines using survey research. Majority of the 130 graduates were female and those who pursued college studies were taking-up agriculture-related courses. They oftentimes recognize the relevance of their learning from ASTS to their present undertakings. Hands-on experiences in doing projects had influence on the present occupational status of the graduates. Majority of the self-employed graduates are into agriculture-related endeavors. Work independence was considered the primary competency that they have gained from ASTS. They also strongly agreed on the competencies of the teacher as well as the facilities and equipment of the school. Agriculture is strongly important to the graduates and learning agricultural science in high school helped them get a good job. The field of agriculture was also found attractive for female students in the high school level. Students may also earn while studying. School administrators may adopt the curriculum being implemented by ASTS to maximize the opportunities of students to venture in the agriculture industry.

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to identify the experts’ agreement on the suitability of the personalized m-learning curriculum model. A total of 25 experts were selected to evaluate the model. A Fuzzy Delphi Method was used to identify suitability of the elements in personalized m-learning model. Based on the overall findings, all the items have met the requirements needed in the triangular ­­­­­­­­­fuzzy number and meet the deffuzification process (more than the Alpha α - cut value of 0.5). This revealed that all the experts consensually agreed with all questionnaire items. Hence, the proposed personalized m-learning curriculum implementation model is suitable to serve as a guideline for the instructor in implementing personalized m-learning. The new personalized m-learning elements for another course or programme could be determined based on the experts’ opinions. This will enable the development of personalized m-learning model that could be implemented for any course or programme.
