Linguistic features of the writing competence of the alternative learning system students
Full text linkThis study examines the linguistic proficiency of the Philippines alternative learning system (ALS) learners, focusing on their writing skills. ALS offers flexible education through school-based and community-based modalities, using standard modules across various subjects. An assessment titled “The students’ greatest responsibility” showed that the linguistic development level (LDL) for two schools was “developing,” with a weighted mean score of 79%, indicating that basic writing skills are still being developed. Two additional schools had students at the “approaching proficiency” level, with mean scores of 81% and 82%, reflecting basic discourse competence. Identified errors reveal implications for the ALS curriculum: cognitive problems, such as difficulties in generating ideas and organizing thoughts, suggest a need for activities that enhance critical thinking and creativity. Graphomotor issues, including writing short sentences and slow writing, indicate potential motor skill difficulties affecting written expression. Problems with paragraph unity, including cohesion and coherence, highlight a need for better writing structure and organization. Addressing these issues through targeted curriculum interventions could improve students’ academic performance and confidence, enhancing their readiness for further education and employment

Cognitive strategies of law students in writing opinion text
Full text linkWriting skills are one of the determining factors for law students' success, but it is their biggest problem. This problem stems from the lack of grammar mastery and learning barriers during the COVID-19 pandemic. Therefore, this study aims to describe cognitive strategies for law students in writing opinion texts during the COVID-19 pandemic and the pedagogical implications. This study employed a mixed method. The research participants were 200 first-year students of the 2021-2022 academic year. Data collection methods are inventory and open-ended questions. The research found that students with Indonesian as first language (L1) are high in cognitive strategies, while second language (L2) students are moderate. The highest cognitive strategy is to look for reference sources on grammar rules on the internet. The correlation found a significant relationship among cognitive strategy. The most significant is the relationship between all cognitive strategies and developing explicit knowledge of grammar. Our findings provide pedagogical implication that writing instruction needs to use cognitive strategies as grammar learning strategies within a contextual-communicative approach in law. In conclusion, cognitive strategies can be used integratively in writing by emphasizing the use of explicit language knowledge and various digital sources for L1 and L2 learners
Students' readiness on practical learning in clothing engineering education: case on haute couture learning
Full text linkHaute couture-making techniques are critical competencies to be mastered by fashion engineering education (CEE) graduates. However, until now, many graduates have been unable to master these techniques optimally. Various studies and field phenomena confirm that they are unprepared for supporting knowledge (SK), socio-cultural, and psychological aspects. This phenomenon prompted us to measure practical learning readiness (PLR) in these three dimensions. In addition, we also examine the differences between dimensions and indicators and test the determination in constructing the PLR to determine the order of solving the problem. The survey was conducted on 386 CEE students with criteria who were currently studying haute couture (HC). The results of the descriptive analysis confirmed that psychological conditions (PC) and SK had a low level, while socio-cultural support had a high level. The results of the comparison test show that the three are generally similar, although there are notes in several indicators. Although all dimensions contribute significantly to constructing PLR, PC contribute the highest. This indicates that low PC are the first step to be addressed by CEE. Furthermore, several notes related to the decrease in knowledge-supporting practice are also the second effort that CEE must make to boost PLR in its students
