Abstract

This study examines gossip in two different ethnicities living in the city of Kupang, East Nusa Tenggara province namely Sabu andRote tribes. This study specifically answers two main questions. First, what kind of gossip is usually discussed by women from both ethnicities.Second, which ethnic group produces more negative impacts from this social conversation. In addition to two questions above, several otherelements were also analyzed in this study such as atmosphere, context, participants, age, ethnicity, education, social distance, and language use.The study employed observation and interviews method in collecting the data. The interview was done by applying close ended questionnaire. Atotal of 36 participants were included as samples and subjects in this study. The result of this study indicates that both ethnicities have a commontopic when gossiping. For example, family problems, recipes, parenting, infidelity and others. Although two ethnicities are equally involved andexperiencing the negative effects of this social conversation, women from the Sabu tribe have a higher level of involvement in terms of verbaland physical fights.

Abstract

In this article we argue that our formal education has failed, to a certain extent, to create good quality graduates, namely, those whoare not only competent and independent, but also good in terms of such character traits as “grit, self-control, zest, social intelligence, gratitude,optimism, and curiosity” (Tough, 2012: 76). Such a failure has been caused by some educational practices which are not pedagogically soundlike: institutional manipulations leading to our students’ highly consumeristic behaviours;nondialogical education; teacher-centered approach;misunderstanding of teaching and learning; and, centralised education.To prevent such a failure, we suggest that our formal educational systembe redefined so that it will be capable of creating good quality education that, in turn, can help our students be more competent, independent, andexcellent in terms of the character traits mentioned. It can be done by applying such methods as Ivan Illich’s learning webs, Paulo Freire’sdialogical education, and student-centered education in which teaching is seen as a means of faciliating students’ learning based on theirpotentials, interests, and learning needs. In this sense, it is important that school curricula be also designed by each educational institution andthat each individual instituion has its own independent management system and networking system to make it more successful in achieving itseducational goals.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the causes of violence perpetrated by teachers against students at GMIT Boking Elementary School in South Central Timor Regency, East Nusa Tenggara Province. Violence by teachers aims to discipline students who violate the rules in force at school. Violence that is often used by teachers is physical and psychological violence. Physical violence is violence that is done directly such as hitting, slapping, pilling, kicking, pinching, throwing objects that lead to the victim`s body and so on. Physical violence can be done both with bare hands and tools. Psychical violence is violence that tends not to be too real. Psychological violence takes the form of pressure that can reduce mental or brain abilities such as insult and ongoing humiliation to minimize the victim`s self-esteem, screams and threats that are given to bring fear and others. Actions of violence committed by teachers inadvertently with the aim of disciplining students in the school environment can have an enormous impact on the development of students for example, a feeling of confidence in answering questions raised by teachers for fear of being enthusiastic about going to school. To prevent acts of violence in schools can be done to improve the relationship between parents, students and teachers. The key to a good relationship to know the attitudes and character of students and the needs of students at school is the establishment of good communication from the school and parent to avoid violence.

This research is intended to analyze the use of applications by students and teachers, also the reasons of using the applications. This research applied qualitative method and the data were analyzed descriptively. The data were the responses from teachers and students for the questionnaires given through Google Forms. The subjects for gaining the data were the students of academic year 2020/2021 and the teachers at the English Education Study Program, the Faculty of Teacher Training and Education, University of Palangka Raya. The results show that the five most favourite applications used by the students were Google Classroom (85.97%), Zoom (74.66%), WhatsApp (48.41%), Google Meet (47.51%), YouTube (11.76%). The reasons why the students used the applications were the applications were easy to use (77.77%), they were quota saving (25%), they were easy to access (11.11%), they had many features (11.11%), and they were effective (9.25%). The five applications used by most of the teachers at the English Education Study Program were Google Classroom (88.88%), Zoom (61.11%), WhatsApp (50%), Google Meet (38.88%), Google Form (22.22%). The reasons why they chose the applications were because the applicationswere easy to use (66.66%), the familiarity with the application (22.22%) and they were easy to access/connection friendly (22.22%). The additional reasons were the applications were quota saving (16.66%), it had complete features (16.66%) and they were unlimited (16.66%). The reasons that both students and teachers gave in this research regarding the applications used in online learning can be the considerations, especially for the teachers and the institution in designing and choosing the best applications, platforms, or teaching tools for the online learning

Abstract

The concept of estimating a parameter is needed to help estimate a situation or observational data before making a decision. There are estimation methods that have been developed, namely the moment method, which is the oldest method, the maximum likelihood method (MLE), and the Bayes method, which is the latest method in determining the estimator of a parameter. Furthermore, the concept of forecasting is also one of the important ways to make a decision. Time series analysis technique (time series) is one of the forecasting methods that are often used, were specifically selected ARMA models. In the Bayesian approach, the parameters in the ARMA model are seen as quantities whose variance is represented by a probability distribution called a prior distribution. Within the framework of Bayes decision theory, estimator selection can be thought of as a problem of decision theory in uncertain circumstances. By using a multivariate Wishart normal prior distribution, the Bayesian estimator for is = z + u* and the Bayesian estimator for is: , with L = (1,0,…,0)’ and S* = S + Using the Gamma multivariate prior normal distribution, the Bayesian estimator for is = Z + uo and the Bayesian estimator for is : = , with u0 = (s u + R y), * = Forecasting one step ahead, namely: n(I)

Abstract

The research about dialect mapping in Timor Tengah Selatan regency is one of the forms of the effort in expressing the truth of humanities researchers who have exposed the Dawan language on the map of languages ​​in East Nusa Tenggara. The researcher wants to minimize the doubts of Lauder (1997) who stated that if all linguistic and non-linguistic researchers agree to use research methods and criteria in selecting the same languages, dialects, sub-dialects, and variants, It is probable that the gap between the findings of one researcher and another can be minimized. Thus, this study specifically wants to map the languages, dialects, sub-dialects, and variants that are in TTS regency. The object of this research is targeting the portrait of the Dawan language map which contains languages, dialects, sub-dialects, and variants derived in the Timor Tengah Selatan Regency, East Nusa Tenggara Province. This study uses dialectometric techniques which are often used in diachronic linguistics. The findings of this study were (1) finding a map of Timor Tengah Selatan Regency which contains languages, dialects, sub-dialects, and variants. (2) then it was found diachronically related by linguistic means to be produced in diachronic relationships by the linguistic system. (3) there were three variants in this study, namely the Dawan R variant, the Dawan L variant, and the Tetun variant. (4) The study produced a map of the dialectic spiderweb of the TTS Regency.
