Balinese cultural representation from the perspective of the Balinese wordlist
No full textBased on the data gathered from the PARADISEC catalogue of the Balinese wordlist, as part of the OCSEAN project, 1,228 words were recorded and classified into several categories, such as the body, agriculture and vegetation, animals, the physical world, basic actions and technology, food and drink, spatial relations, kinship, motion, sense perception, quantity, emotions and values, cognition, time, speech and language, the house, warfare and hunting, possession, clothing and grooming, religion and belief, social and political relations, law, as well as miscellaneous function words. This study examines the Balinese wordlist from the OCSEAN data and explores the correlation between the number of words gathered and the speakers’ language recognition and comprehension within their community. Since the process of word recognition involves identifying both meaning and form (orthographic and phonological), these aspects originating from each speaker are generally influenced by their surrounding community. Through mapping the quantitative data, possible borrowings, and accuracy in the wordlist, several assumptions can be made. For example, the high number and accuracy of words related to agriculture (including its associated resources) may be attributed to the fact that many Balinese speakers come from farming communities. The implications of this study suggest that future research may benefit from combining pre-existing linguistic data with the psychological aspects of speakers and the cultural characteristics of their communities
Enhancing active citizenship: Developing assessment tools for digital literacy and critical thinking in Indonesian Civics Education
No full textThis study aims to develop instruments to measure digital literacy and critical thinking skills within the Civics Education course, addressing the challenge of assessing these essential competencies in the context of modern education. As digital literacy and critical thinking become increasingly crucial for active citizenship, there is a lack of comprehensive and reliable tools to evaluate these skills effectively. The research employs a development method using the 4D model, consisting of four phases: Define, Design, Develop, and Disseminate. In the Define phase, the competencies to be assessed were clearly identified. In the Design phase, the instruments were crafted based on specific indicators of digital literacy and critical thinking. The Develop phase involved testing the reliability and validity of the instruments, while the Disseminate phase prepared the instruments for broader use. The critical thinking instrument was found to have excellent internal consistency, with a Cronbach’s Alpha of 0.908. However, certain items exhibited low item-total correlations, indicating that revisions were necessary. This study contributes to filling the gap in Civics Education by providing a reliable and valid tool for evaluating digital literacy and critical thinking, ultimately supporting the enhancement of students' competencies in these crucial areas for active and informed citizenship
Evaluating students’ perceptions of literature courses in English education: Implications for curriculum development
No full textThe concerns of this study were the literature used in English classrooms and students’ views on how it assists them in developing academically and professionally. Thus, its purpose was to evaluate the importance attached to literature courses in the curriculum of English Education programs. The study employed a sequential explanatory mixed-methods design. Quantitatively, a questionnaire instrument was used, which was completed by 107 students of the English Education Study Program at Universitas Bengkulu, regarding their perceptions of the implementation of literary courses, administered through Google Forms. Qualitatively, unstructured interviews provided more profound insights into the role of literature in students’ language proficiency. The results indicate that the majority of students (86%) are interested in studying literature, and they are highly engaged in their work. Those students felt that their grammar competence, vocabulary, and language skills had increased. Furthermore, 91% specifically claimed that literature enhanced their ability for critical thinking and intellectual enrichment, while 77% derived confidence in engaging with literary texts, thereby fostering further collaboration, empathy, and cultural sensitivity in their day-to-day offline routine. Thirty-five per cent of students were also encouraged to read literature. Yet, students encountered constraints such as insufficient time for studying, linguistic complexity, and exposure to unfamiliar cultural scenes. Students value literary education and the use of literature in preparing for future demands. Pedagogically, the curriculum development literature should be systematically integrated with odd in English Education, particularly instructional routines that value active learning, situated interpretation, and imaginative interaction with texts
