An analysis of students’ pronunciation errors of friction consonants in spoken production
No full textPronunciation is an essential component of communicative competence, yet many EFL learners make pronunciation errors frequently. The English teacher in SMAS Global Madani Bandarlampung stated that students find it difficult to pronounce English words with certain consonants including friction consonants. The objectives of this research were to find out i) pronunciation errors of friction consonants that students made frequently and ii) the factors that influenced the errors. The approach of this research was qualitative. There were 20 students of the second grade chosen randomly. Performance assessment was used to collect the data. The data were analyzed by using the formula of Measures of Central Tendency. The data were also computed by using SPSS 26.0 for Windows. The result showed that the friction consonants that the students produced frequently were /v/ (31.5%) and /?/ (26%). In addition, the result of the students’ responses showed that the errors were caused by some factors. Those were exposure, first language (L1) background, lack of confidence, and attitude

The study adopted a descriptive verification method with ex-post facto and survey approaches. The collected data were analysed using a linear regression test with path analysis. The results indicate that there is an influence of the use of Kahoot media, the variation of questions, and learning motivation on the economic learning achievement among the tenth-grade students of social sciences at SMA Negeri 1 Sumberejo in the academic year of 2019/2020
PQ4R-based E-LKPD to improve the fourth grade students’ higher order thinking skills
No full textThis study is intended to analyze the need for e-LKPD development based on the preview, question, read, reflect, recite, and review (PQ4R) to improve students' HOTS. There are three syntaxes of 3-stage levels of high order thinking skills recommended by Bloom's taxonomy. It consists of analyzing, evaluating, and creating. The type of this research is a descriptive qualitative study analysis based on a literature review of e-LKPD and equipped with the PQ4R strategy as an effort to increase the HOTS of students. The research subjects were educators and fourth-grade students of SD Negeri 1 Purwosari, Padangratu Sub-District, Central Lampung. The research objects are HOTS, PQ4R, and e-LKPD. The data collection instrument used interview guidelines, questionnaires, and tests. The cause of the low HOTS of students is the inadequacy of teaching materials and learning strategies used in training HOTS abilities. The results of the study found that educators had not fully used e-LKPD teaching materials. Educational units also require learning strategies that can increase HOTS. PQ4R is one of the learning strategies that can be applied as a solution to increase students' HOTS. Educators need e-LKPD that contains PQ4R learning strategies that are following the characteristics of students. Thus, it can be concluded that the PQ4R-based e-LKPD to improve the HOTS of students in primary schools needs to be developed
The development of E-LKPD through problem-based learning to improve the sixth-grade students’ Mathematics mastery
No full textThe purpose of this research was to create a Mathematic LKPD based on Problem Based Learning for the subject of integer arithmetic operations in elementary school. The desire for learning that may improve students' abilities to solve problems, think critically, and inspire curiosity drove the development of this Mathematics LKPD. This was a research and development project (R&D), with data collection and basic research, planning, product development, limited testing, and final product revision being the primary steps. The participants in this study were sixth-grade teachers of SD Negeri 1 Rama Murti located in Seputih Raman district, Central Lampung, Indonesia, with a purposive sampling technique. The research sample consisted of 32 sixth-grade students of the school. Observation and questionnaires were employed to obtain data using a qualitative descriptive analysis.

The effect of differentiated instruction on academic achievement of grade eleven students in the field of derivative in Bhutan
No full textGiven the increasing diversity of students academically and culturally, educators are being called upon to accommodate students' diverse learning requirements through differentiated instruction strategies. In Bhutan, the Ministry of Education recently mandated the implementation of a differentiated instruction strategy in the K-12 curriculum. From this perspective, this study attempted to ascertain the effect of differentiated strategies on grade eleven mathematics students within the framework of the pre_test and post_test quasi-experimental research method. 64 grade eleven students participated in this study. The concept of derivative was taught using a differentiated instruction strategy for the experimental group (N=32) while a conventional one-size fits-all strategy was used for teaching the control group (N=32). A Conceptual Understanding Test on the Derivative (CUTD) was administered as pretest and posttest groups to examine the differences in their learning achievements. A t-test analysis of the pretests indicated no significant differences, indicating that the experimental and control groups' learning abilities on the concept of the derivative were roughly comparable. However, a statistically significant difference in favour of the experimental group over the control group was discovered in the post test analysis. It was recommended that Mathematics teachers and educators should embrace the use of differentiated instruction while teaching and learning derivative.The researchers also recommended that differentiated education be used over a prolonged period of time and with a larger sample size
