The development of Iqra' Lampung script teaching materials for primary school levels in Bandar Lampung city
No full textThe Lampung Provincial Government requires all primary and secondary schools to provide Lampung language lessons and introduction to Lampung script. Some students only recognize the Lampung Khaganga script, which amounts to 20 characters, while the combination of the main character and 12 characters that produces 560 syllables of the Lampung script is not yet fully understood. In fact, knowledge of Lampung script is still lacking, even some students do not understand Lampung script, it can be said that learning Lampung script at elementary school level has not been successful. This could be due to a lack of modules (teaching materials) that support learning. The research aims to develop Lampung language teaching materials in Lampung script material in the form of Iqra' Lampung script as teaching material for elementary school level. This study adopted a research and development (R&D) method proposed by Gall, Borg & Gall (2007). The work step procedure includes: 1) preliminary study, 2) product development, 3) product validation test and revision. Based on the research that has been done, it can be concluded that the teaching material (module) is feasible because the average value is 4.588 from the teacher validator and 4.446 from the lecturer validator. If it is based on a scale of 5 it can be concluded that the Iqra' Lampung script teaching material has a very good value of teachers and good grades from expert lecturers in terms of material aspects, language, presentation, the effect of teaching materials on learning strategies, and overall appearance feasibility. Modules are basically teaching materials that are systematically using language that is easily understood by students according to their level of knowledge and age so that they can learn independently or without minimal guidance from teachers
The formation of character among students of primary school teacher education in a public higher education institution in Indonesia
No full textThe national education system so far has not been satisfactory. Looking at this situation, several solutions have been proposed, e.g., updated version of curriculum. However, this solution is not adequate because educators are also expected to be able to prepare students' attitudes and behavior so that they can face the demands of the current situation and the dynamics of change that are rapidly developing. Changes that occur are not only in knowledge and technology but also in aspects of moral values in social life. In addition to family as a center of education, a higher education institution environment also requires a function of character education to shape students’ personality be more positive as expected. In other words, the process of character formation and habituation is the responsibility of not only students’ parents within family domain but also formal higher education institutions. With the various problems that exist at higher education level, character building for primary teacher education (henceforth PGSD) students is needed that they are expected to be able to improve and apply their knowledge, study, appreciate and apply character values in their daily life behavior. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to identify PGSD students’ character formation and ensure the results of the character formation process in a higher education institution in Indonesia.
Students’ grammatical error analysis in the recount text translation
No full textThis research aims to determine the types of grammatical errors that students make the most and least frequently, as well as the causes of those errors, using the Surface Strategy Taxonomy that was identified in students' recount text translation. The participants in this study were SMAN 1 Pringsewu first-graders in the academic year 2020/2021. This research adopted a descriptive qualitative method by using a translation task and questionnaire for the instruments. According to the Surface Strategy Taxonomy, the students made all types of errors: omission, addition, misformation, and misordering. In recount text translation based on Surface Strategy Taxonomy, the most common error made by students was misformation, whereas the least frequent error type was misordering. Problems with the target language, mother-tongue interference, a lack of eagerness to learn the target language, a lack of confidence, and the absence of error feedback from the teacher were all possible causes of those errors. This indicates that the students’ English grammar understanding was still limited. Therefore, the English teacher is expected to solve it by providing appropriate teaching methods and materials to reduce errors
