Six Thinking Hats Method for Developing Critical Thinking Skills
Get PDFThe purpose of this research is to assist the student teachers in their final year to think critically in analyzing the lesson plan document in the Kurikulum 2013 framework using the Six Thinking Hats method as a tool. This tool has visual imagery similar to colorful hats, with a specific point of view. The white hat acts as an information source, black hat identifies threats, the red hat represents emotion and intuition, the yellow hat identifies support and strength, the green hat stimulates creative ideas, and the blue hat becomes the leader of the discussion. This is a one-group post-test only experiment. The data is analyzed descriptively and interpreted qualitatively. The instrument is rubrics for analysis, also documentation and interview. The result shows that the average of the analysis scored 27,5 (out of 57) in a "moderate" level. This means students give short analysis with less-detailed description and the reasoning is less clear. The order from the lowest to the highest score is: yellow (scored 1,1)- white (1,2)-green (1,3)-red (1,5)-black (2,0). Although the result is still in the middle level, it still can be seen that this method is very potential to assist students to think critically, with a step by step development
Information and Communication Technology Approaches and Multimedia Authoring Skills of Public Elementary School Teachers
Get PDFThis descriptive-explanatory research determined the extent of utilization of ICT approaches in performing teaching-related tasks and self-assessment of multimedia authoring skills of 162 public elementary school teachers at Tanauan City North District, Philippines. Utilizing a researcher-made questionnaire in gathering the needed data and applying appropriate statistical tools, the results of the study revealed that the respondents highly utilized technology literacy approach, and utilized both knowledge deepening, and knowledge creation approaches in performing teaching-related tasks as they integrate technology into the curriculum, utilize spreadsheet in monitoring pupils’ learning progress, and use available ICT resources to help pupils acquire and demonstrate complex cognitive skills. The respondents were also found to be competent in media literacy, using music and arts, design principles, creativity and novel thinking, and considering audiences as components of multimedia authoring skills that was likely to be influenced by their utilization of ICT approaches as affirmed by the significant relationship identified between the two variables. This study calls for pedagogical innovations by capacitating public elementary school teachers with multi-media authoring skills through ICT-skill enhancement program

The research sampling is conducted of 76 respondents, consisting of students, lecturers, employees, staff and technicians. And this research method uses is quantitative methods and semi-structured qualitative methods. The result obtained that there are members of campus who are willing to change in communication and the ways of thinking and acting to follow the change in future learning 4.0 industrial revolution
Equating Method for Prevent Discrimination in Classroom
Get PDFThis study aims to determine effectivenes Simplified Cirlce Arc method used at the school level to prevent discrimination against student grades. This study National Examination data on mathematics subjects from of the Center for Educational Assessment in DKI Jakarta and Tangerang regions. Using the Rasch Model analysis, data obtained for 2135 in the DKI Jakarta (X) and 2271 in the Tangerang area (Y). The data was obtained after conducting Rasch analysis with Mean Square Outfit (MNSQ) of 0.5 <MNSQ <1.5. Replication is done 50 times for each form data distribution from each region. Results of replication then RMSE value is calculated. The results showed that equal form with normal data distribution, statistically the average RMSE with the Simplified Circle Arc method smaller than the average RMSE result of equalization with the Nominal Weight Mean method which indicates that the Simplified Circle Arc method more accurate than Nominal Weight Mean method. Likewise, with equal equations with positive skeweness and negative skewness data distribution, the average RMSE with the Simplified Circle Arc Method is smaller than average RMSE resulting in equalization of the score with Nominal Weight Mean method. A small RMSE value indicates a fairly accurate result of equalization
The Use of Circle Games to improve the Mastery of English Vocabulary of the Indonesian Maritime Academy Students
Get PDFThe research's aim was to find out if the use of circle games substantially enhances the vocabulary competence of the learners and to find out whether or not the learners are interested in using circle games. The study used a quasi-experimental technique. The study population was AMI AIPI Makassar's first year students in the academic year 2018/2019. The sample consisted of 50 students in Technical Class A and B. The research used cluster random sampling. In AMI AIPI Makassar, the investigator took two classes of the first year Technical Class students. The classes were split into the experimental class and class control. The results showed an important distinction between the score of the learners taught using circle games and without Circle Games. It was demonstrated by the experimental class ' mean score, which in the posttest was greater than the control class. The test outcome showed that the use of Circle Games substantially increased the mastery of the students. Analysis using the Likert Scale showed that learners wanted to learn English through Circle Games
