Can students learn what the textbook says? A Cognitive outlook into an Indonesian EFL textbook
No full textFindings from Second Language Acquisition (SLA) research, which offer critical insights into how learners acquire and process language, are often overlooked in the development of curricula and textbooks for early English Language Teaching (ELT). This raises questions about the feasibility of the learning objectives promoted in these materials. To address this gap, this study analyzes a junior high school EFL textbook within the framework of Processability Theory (PT) to examine whether the sequencing of grammatical structures aligns with the teachability hierarchy predicted by PT. The analysis focuses on the grading of grammatical structures and compares their distribution with the stages of acquisition prescribed by PT. The findings reveal only a partial alignment with the PT hierarchy, highlighting a disconnect between textbook design and learners' developmental stages. This misalignment is largely due to the theme-based approach being adopted by the textbook and therefore highlights the need for textbook writers, curriculum developer and English teacher to better integrate SLA research into developing textbooks, particularly in the context of the Kurikulum Merdeka, which emphasizes learner-centered education and learners’ cognitive liberation
Bullying in Medical Education: Causes and Its Impact on Student Performance
Get PDFBullying in medical education is an aggressive behavior that is repeated with the intention of harming the physical, mental, or emotional well-being of individuals perceived as weaker. This behavior often occurs between educators, residents, nurses, and students in medical settings. It violates ethical standards of the medical profession and human rights while negatively impacting the quality of education and healthcare services. This study employs a literature review methodology to analyze the causes and effects of bullying on the performance of medical students. The findings indicate that factors such as hierarchical seniority, insufficient supervision, and academic pressure contribute to bullying, which adversely affects students' mental health and academic performance. Comprehensive preventive measures are required to create a safer learning environment that supports students' well-being

This study aims to explore the values of local wisdom in a theoretical form converted into a form of practice by using the cycle of independent learning based on local wisdom for character building. The method used is a qualitative case study. This study uses interview guidelines, documentation and observation, analysis techniques in the form of data collection, data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The results of the study found that the application of independent learning can (1) raise awareness of the preservation of local culture, (2) shape the character of students, (3) build local culture, and (4) strengthen identity
The realization of child rights in Islamic boarding schools: A study of Al-Munawwir Krapyak Yogyakarta
Get PDFChildren are a key part of the future of a nation and state, as well as the continuity of human life. The government in Indonesia is responsible for protecting the rights of all children, including santri (students), through schools, including Islamic boarding schools (pesantren). The goal of this study is to look at how well the Al-Munawwir Islamic Boarding School in Krapyak, Yogyakarta protects the rights of children who are also students there. The research used a descriptive qualitative method and included santri, religious teachers (ustadz), and caretakers as participants. Data were gathered through interviews and written records, and then they were analysed by reducing, categorising, and unitising the data, presenting it, and drawing conclusions. The results show that, first, Al-Munawwir has followed the rules for protecting children and upholding their rights, especially the Convention on the Rights of the Child, which the Indonesian government has signed and made part of its national child protection laws. Second, small problems like bad behaviour by teens and not being able to fully protect rights because there are so many santri were found. These problems, on the other hand, did not stop children from getting their rights. Instead, they helped santri become more disciplined and focused in their religious studies. Third, the pesantren has dealt with these problems by taking both preventive and punitive steps to make the school a better place for everyone
The urgency of the discovery learning model with a meaningful learning approach to enhance students critical thinking skills
Get PDFIn today’s world, critical thinking skills are essential for teaching economics. An initial observation at SMAN 2 Tulang Bawang Udik also indicated that the existing teaching methods did not support the development of higher-order thinking skills among students. This study was conducted to determine whether a combination of discovery learning and meaningful learning principles is necessary to foster critical thinking skills among students. A qualitative descriptive approach was employed, involving a sample of 60 grade 10 learners, 2 economics teachers, classroom observations, student surveys, and both structured and semi-structured interviews. Results showed that during lessons, 88% were passive, 62 per cent were below the minimum competency level, and 87% experienced difficulties with abstraction. Furthermore, 85% of students felt that the learning approach was overly theoretical, while most preferred a discovery-based approach. Teachers supported the use of innovative learning models. These results underscore the urgent need for an integrated economics curriculum that incorporates student-centred teaching through discovery and meaningful learning environments to enhance critical thinking skills
Place-attachment as a conservation effort in the children's story series "Bait al-Ahdhar": Lawrence Buell’s ecocritical perspective
No full textChildren’s understanding of the relationship between humans and the environment is a significant factor in fostering ecological awareness, which forms the foundation for future environmental coservation efforts. This research aims to describe and identify place-attachment as an effort for environmental conservation in the Bait al-Ahdhar children’s story series based on Lawrence Buell’s ecocriticial perspective. The type of research used in this study is descriptive qualitative with the ecocriticism approach. The primary data source is the Bait al-Ahdhar children’s story series by Hadil Ghanim and Walid Tahir, with additional data drawn from books, journals, and relevant scientific articles. The data collection technique involves a thorough reading and note-taking process. The data analysis technique employs the Miles, Huberman and Saldaña model, which consists of data condensation, data display, and conclusion/verification. The results of this research indicate the presence of four dimensions of place-attachment as a conservation effort in the children’s story series Bait al-Ahdhar: (1) Concentric Areas, as evidenced by a child’s greater concern for the cleanliness of their bedroom compared to their house and the surrounding streets, (2) Local Archipelagos, as evidenced by a child’s concern for the school environment based on a sense that school is like a second home, (3) The Historicity of Places, as evidenced by a child’s concern for the worsening environmental changes in the city, and (4) Temporal Accumulation, as evidenced by a child’s concern for the school environment based on learning and playing experiences in previous class. These findings suggest that place-attachment may serve as a solution for children in environmental conservation
Reinterpreting Flaubert and Lubis in Kardjo’s sonnets “L’Éducation Sentimentale”: A transcultural intertextuality study
No full textThis article examines the transcultural intertextuality in Wing Kardjo’s sonnets “L’Éducation Sentimentale,” which reinterprets Gustave Flaubert’s novel with the same title and Mochtar Lubis’s novel Jalan Tak Ada Ujung. Using Julia Kristeva’s intertextuality framework, the study examines how Kardjo adapts Lubis’s prose narrative into a sonnet form and reinterprets the thematic, narrative, and stylistic elements of Flaubert’s and Lubis’s novels. Through critical, comparative, and intertextual analyses, the research focuses on Kardjo’s innovative transformation of prose into structured poetic forms, preserving themes of love triangles, guilt, and political conflict. The results demonstrate how Kardjo repositions Lubis’s narrative within the structured form of sonnets and reframes Flaubert’s themes within Indonesia’s socio-political and cultural context. Through recontextualization and transformation, Kardjo creates a hybrid literary work that bridges French and Indonesian traditions, offering a transcultural dialogue that juxtaposes postcolonial struggles with existential disillusionment. This study concludes that Kardjo’s sonnets exemplify transcultural intertextuality as a creative process, enriching comparative literary studies and fostering cross-cultural dialogue through poetic innovation
Conceptual operation strategies of artificial intelligence metaphors in Indonesian mass media: A cognitive linguistic study
No full textThis study aims to analyze the conceptual operation strategy of artificial intelligence (AI) metaphors in Indonesian mass media using cognitive linguistic studies. This research uses a qualitative approach with Christopher Hart’s Cognitive Linguistic–Critical Discourse Studies (CL-CDS) analysis method. Data sources came from online mass media articles that have a major influence on public opinion in Indonesia. Data were collected using documentation study techniques and analyzed using four CL-CDS strategies, namely structural configuration, framing, identification, and positioning. The results indicate that AI metaphors in mass media not only frame the way humans perceive AI capabilities and functions but also reflect the ideology and power behind current technological developments. This demonstrates the use of technological ideologies to support an agenda that enlarges society’s dependence on technological systems controlled by large corporations or the state while reinforcing existing power structures. This research contributes to providing insights for media practitioners, policymakers, and academics on the effective use of metaphors in conveying information about AI while considering its ideological and social impacts. Future research recommendations include analyzing the role of social media in framing AI, as well as investigating the ethics and social impact of AI discourse in the mass media

The instrument development was carried out by constructing and validating the culturally contextualized chemical literacy test through the following stages: (1) identification of aspects and indicators of culturally based chemical literacy; (2) construction of the assessment instrument; (3) theoretical validation; (4) empirical validation; (5) reliability testing; and (6) difficulty level analysis. Data were analyzed using the Winsteps application and interpreted through the Rasch Model. The developed instrument consists of 12 items encompassing four chemical literacy indicators: Chemical Knowledge Concept, Chemistry in Context, Higher-Order Thinking Skills, and Attitude. The cultural context includes four West Kalimantan cultural themes: Dayak traditional tuak drinking, betel chewing tradition, nasi hadap-hadapan ceremony, and the karbit cannon festival. Validity was confirmed through Outfit MNSQ, Outfit ZSTD, and Point Measure Correlation (Pt. Mean Corr) values. Reliability analysis showed a Cronbach’s alpha of 0.56 (moderate), person reliability of 0.68 (moderate), and item reliability of 0.95 (very high). The instrument covers various difficulty levels: easy (1 item), moderate (9 items), and difficult (2 items), indicating a well-distributed test construction
Innovation of the LIRACLE Model: Case of Gajah Wong River Pollution by Pb Metal
Get PDFGajah Wong River is one of the rivers in Yogyakarta. Gajah Wong River is an aquatic ecosystem whose existence is greatly influenced by activities or activities around it or in the river basin. Several human activities cause pollution in this river. One of the pollutants found is Pb metal. Students, as a quality young generation, must be able to find alternative solutions to this problem. Literacy and Research-Oriented Cooperative Problem-Based Learning (LIRACLE) is a new learning model developed for learning in higher education. In its development, LIRACLE is used to develop chemical literacy skills, get used to scientific thinking, and develop the science process skills of prospective chemistry teachers. The purpose of this study is to describe the application of the LIRACLE model in the case of pollution of the Gajah Wong River by Pb metal. The description includes observations of the implementation of each syntax of LIRACLE. The number of water samples used in this study was taken from one point on the Gajah Wong River. The chemical concept studied is adsorption, the theory of which has been studied in the "Molecular Dynamics" course. The results of this study are descriptions of activities in each LIRACLE syntax in the case of Gajah Wong River pollution by Pb metal. This study is preliminary in the development of the LIRACLE model for the futur
