No full textABSTRACT Fadilla, Raisa. 2016. Public Senior High School English Teachers’ Knowledge and Implementation of Scientific Approach of K-13 in Malang. Thesis. Graduate Program of English Language Teaching, State University of Malang. Advisors: (I) Prof. Utami Widiati, M.A., Ph.D., (II) Dr. Suharmanto, M. Pd.Key words: teachers’ knowledge, implementation, scientific approach This study is intended to find out the senior high school English teachers’ knowledge in terms of the aims, characteristics, principles, learning models, and steps of Scientific Approach, and the implementation of Scientific Approach (SA). This study was mixed method since quantitative and qualitative techniques were utilized in a single study to collect and analyze the data. The schools chosen were all public senior high schools in Malang. To collect the data, three instruments were used which were test about SA, observation sheet, and field notes. The findings of the study are as follows. The findings for the teachers’ knowledge, first, teachers with teaching experiences and level of education did not simply guarantee that they had deep knowledge on SA. Meanwhile, the number of training or workshops they attended was in line with their comprehension. Secondly, the numbers of teachers who belonged to deep knowledge category and shallow knowledge category were balance. Specifically, teachers with good knowledge tended to have strong knowledge about the concepts of SA related to the characteristics, principles, learning models, and steps of SA. The next is teachers with fair knowledge were weak regarding the characteristics and steps in SA. The last is teachers who had poor knowledge were very weak in all parts. They did not understand mostly the concepts about SA. Related to the implementation, teachers who had good knowledge applied similar patterns like teacher with fair knowledge in applying the steps of SA. It proved that although teachers were different in the conceptual level, they were actually similar in the implementation level. However, in this case, teachers’ knowledge could not represent strongly the way teachers implement SA in the classroom. Based on the findings, some suggestions can be offered for the improvement of teachers’ knowledge and implementation on SA. English teachers are suggested to participate a lot in professional development programs such as workshops, trainings, or seminars about SA. Dealing with implementation, teachers should be able to attract students’ attention by using attractive media, giving more challenging materials and various activities in pairs or in groups to develop their critical thinking. For the headmaster, it is expected to provide all English teachers with sufficient professional development programs. For the policy makers, the socialization of the regulation needs to be improved as the clear guidance for teachers in understanding and implementing the method. Finally, for other future researchers, this study can be used as a reference in conducting similar research of future studies about teachers’ knowledge and implementation on SA.
Developing a monograph book for teaching English skills to young learners in wetlands areas
No full textTo enable Universitas Lambung Mangkurat (ULM) to become the Asia-Pacific centre for wetlands development in 2027, one of the efforts ULM makes is to raise awareness about the importance of optimising human resources in wetlands through research and development in the educational and cultural fields. English is considered a foreign language in Indonesia, allowing students to use the language outside of academic settings. English becomes a required subject in junior and senior high school; however, the government requires that English be taught in primary schools as a local topic. English, on the other hand, remains a mandatory subject in a large number of Indonesian primary schools, particularly in Banjarmasin. The issue arises in primary school English instruction because there is no clear guidance for teachers on how to teach English in an appropriate and engaging manner for the students. Due to the absence of a monograph book on teaching methods, teachers in some primary schools in Banjarmasin, particularly those located in wetland areas, have limited access to teaching English to young learners (EYL). In light of the university's policy and the critical nature of achieving teaching and learning objectives, as well as the absence of a suitable reference book for teaching EYL, this study aims to develop an appropriate monograph book on teaching techniques for students of young ages. The research and development design is chosen because it aims to create a product and meets the needs of the reference book's development. The results are expected to improve students' academic performance and to assist EYL teachers in wetland areas in conducting effective and meaningful teaching

Phytochemical Screening and Antioxidant Activity of Ethanol Extract of Mekai Leaves (Albertisia papuana Becc.) Using the DPPH Method
Get PDFThis study examines the phytochemical profile and antioxidant activity of the ethanol extract of Mekai leaves (Albertisia papuana Becc.), a traditional medicinal plant widely utilized by the Dayak communities in Kalimantan. Despite its ethnopharmacological relevance, scientific data regarding its antioxidant capacity remain limited. Phytochemical screening confirmed the presence of important secondary metabolites, including tannins, phenolics, flavonoids, alkaloids, saponins, steroids, and triterpenoids—groups of compounds commonly associated with radical-scavenging activity. The antioxidant activity assessed using the DPPH radical scavenging method demonstrated that the extract possesses strong antioxidant activity, with an IC₅₀ value of 95.583 ppm. These findings reinforce the traditional use of Mekai and underscore its potential as a natural source of bioactive antioxidant compounds
