Abstract

The study finds that the Movement Patterns performed in Bedhaya Ketawang are fundamental and universal. Hence, the monotony of the dance in indicating the universality of human function and expression for higher mental performance and concentration is justified through the Yogic Approach. This finding implies further studies on specifying ancient cultural and civilisational influence in Javanese Culture at large across eras. The study explains Bhedaya's phenomenon which indicates that the practice could be designed as a social and virtual space for educational purposes. This implies further extensive studies on exploring, structuring and organising the practical application of the recommendations and findings.

Abstract

In the story of the ludruk play which is legendary in Java-Indonesia, Sarip Tambak Oso is chased and captured by the invaders. He is claimed to be a criminal who is very humiliated. However, the Javanese people immortalized him as a public figure with character because of his concern and courage in defending the rights of the poor who were wronged by the colonial government. This research has a qualitative approach with a case study type. The main problem is, how is the multi-character of Sarip Tambak Oso's play dehumanized by the colonialists? For this reason, the data source is in the form of documents, both printed (published manuscripts) and electronic (ludruk performances with the play Sarip Tambak Oso). The research data is in the form of language (expressions, words, phrases, sentences) in the story. Next, verbal data is described qualitatively. The results showed that Sarip Tambak Oso had the characters of (1) caring, (2) devotion, (3) nationalism, and (4) religious, and (5) fair. In conclusion, the five characters are necessary when dealing with colonial era invaders. In fact, now, its fluctuating actualization needs to be considered as thoroughly as possible in the millennial era. This is necessary because the dehumanization of the multi-characteristics of public figures is not a natural characteristic of the Javanese nation in the world, except when fighting for national independence, as exemplified by Sarip Tambak Oso in East Java, Indonesia.Keywords: dehumanization, characters, Sarip Tambak Oso, imperialism, ludruk plays, Javanese oral literature

Abstract

Klenikologi derived from the word heresy and logy. Klenikologi is knowledge (ngelmu) about perklenikan kejawen. Heresy is kejawen movement "under ground", which actually has incredible powers. Occult spells can not be separated from the universe. Mantra comes from the word "man" (whispered tool) and "tra" means the appliance. Mantra is a tool in a whisper, to "direct communication" with Kang Akarya Universe. Klenikologi kejawen really lungit (sacred and fine), not everyone is able to reach them. Only someone who has buntas kawruhe and meneping flavor, usually capable of using klenikologi kejawen. Klenikologi kejawen genuine (original), will use spells kejawen. In the life received by faith kejawen, klenikologi and spells always have a special function and meaning. First, klenikologi and magical spells as the opener of the universe, to be mystically connected with Kang Murbeng Dumadi (God). Mantra, usually in the form of sacred chants, sung by a trusted person physically and spiritually. Second, kenikologi and spells that are used as motion "dissident smooth", in a government policy diametrically opposed to him. Third, klenikologi and spells to deny custody, the interference jim priprayangan devil, breakfast convulsions, and other temptations. Fourth, klenikologi and spells for tapa ngrame, namely helping sesameng dumadi, who need help. From the description, may I suggest that klenikologi, spells, and "subtle dissident" received by the trust among the Javanese, is a phenomenon that has a sacred meaning. To take advantage of this phenomenon requires special training and behavior. This phenomenon was a resistance of the entire policy beliefs sometimes (a) oppressive, (b) does not solve the problem, (c) is irrelevant between reality and rules. That is why received by trying to find "alternative path", which is more reassuring to live.

Abstract

ABSTRACT A language classroom must have the right environment for learning and cannot be classified as every other subject as it is a subject which assesses students' abilities in speaking, listening, reading, and writing. As language educators are obliged to use online platforms to teach and assess their students due the pandemic, there are many challenges that they face. Thus, the purpose of this study is to look into the issues that language instructors have when it comes to online learning and assessment. All language instructors at the School of Languages, Civilization, and Philosophy, Universiti Utara Malaysia's were given Google Form questionnaires to answer. The data was analysed using SPSS statistic version 26 and Smart PLS-SEM 3.2.8 with a sample volume of 40 (56 percent) (Ringle, Wende, & Becker, 2015). The descriptive statistics of the respondent's demographic profile were conducted using the SPSS statistics tool. Following that, the PLS statistical tool was used to examine the study's measurement and structural model. The measurement model test was undertaken to ensure that the constructs of this study had reached their reliability and validity. The findings show multiple applications and platforms, online marking, nonverbal evaluation, and plagiarism pose the greatest problem for language instructors in terms of technology and assessments. In terms of teaching, the issues are creativity, rapport, heavy workload, as well as lack of communication and participation from students. Keywords: Online teaching, Online assessment, Language instructors, Pandemic

Abstract

Pranoto mongso (from Javanese, pranåtåmångså, literally “the conditions of seasons”) is a type of agricultural calendar particularly for the purpose of farming and fishing. It is a local wisdom created by the famous poet R.Ng.Ronggowarsito to introduce time and has been practiced by the people in Java Island for thousands of years. This knowledge is presumably inherited from generation to generation from the period of Medang or Mataram Kingdom (Hinduism) in the 9th century to the period of Mataram Sultanate in the17th century as a reference in the fields of agriculture economy, administration, and defense(military). Pranoto mongso has been officially used by Sri Susuhunan Pakoeboewono VII, the King of Surakarta, since June 22, 1856. It is based on solar rotation, which is similar to the Gregorian calendar. The application of pranoto mongso in the middle of climate change remains relevant as a general guideline for anticipation. For instance, Mangsa Rendeng (DecemberFebruary) is the months of storms, rains, floods, and landslides, while Kawolu (February-March) informs farmers to be prepared for plant diseases and plagues that affect humans and animals. Pranoto mongso is still limited to once-a-year rice farming. In order to anticipate climate change, pranoto mongso,as a global seasonal approach, has to be corrected using the updates and applications of climate prediction as well as the development of site-specific (or regional), dynamic cropping pattern and calendar. Water-efficient crop varieties and cultivation patterns are highly applicable for dealing with climate change. Pranoto mongso is preserved by the Javanese people, especially in Central Java Province, as global season guidelines.
