Ika Wahyuni Lestari, Rudi Hartono, Januarius Mujiyanto, Zulfa Sakhiyya — Wed, 07 Aug 2024 00:00:00 +0700

Teacher education is widely believed to play a pivotal role in shaping the professional identity of pre-service teachers. Although plethora of prior studies have been conducted to explore this area, a gap was identified in relation to the scarcity of studies conducted to explore the perceptions of pre-service teachers on how social interaction contributes to their professional identity construction prior to actual on-site teaching practices. Investigating this area is imperative, since the shaped professional identity, at any extent, may influence their teaching practices and professional identity construction. The present study was conducted to address the gap by exploring the roles of social interaction in shaping professional identity of pre-service English teachers prior to their engagement in on-site teaching practices. Nine pre-service English teachers enrolling into English language teacher education program were purposefully selected to participate in the study. Data were collected through one-on-one semi structured interview, conducted prior to the participants' enrolment in a teaching practicum program. Thematic and interpretive analysis were used in the data analysis. The findings revealed that social interactions through observations and discussions contributed to initial professional identity construction of the pre-service teachers. Different actors within and beyond the teacher education context were reported to play distinct roles in shaping professional identity of pre-service English teachers. The implications were discussed to create more meaningful social interaction that can facilitate stronger professional identity construction of pre-service teachers amid their teacher education.

Mochamad Rizqi Adhi Pratama, Zulfa Sakhiyya, Seful Bahri, Yuliati Yuliati — Wed, 07 Aug 2024 00:00:00 +0700

Teachers have less influence over their students when they learn online, particularly when it comes to making sure the learning experience is of a high calibre. The Self-Regulated Learning (SRL) technique is one way to solve this issue. Because they have been prepared to comprehend what to do in their own learning, this technique helps the students to study independently without requiring a lot of assistance from the teachers. The purpose of this study is to: 1) provide task instructions that will support students' autonomous learning in online learning; and 2) find out what the students think about how SRL affects them. The methodology of research and development is applied. The Likert scale is used to gauge the students' points of view. The outcomes demonstrated the efficacy of the SRL technique in fostering autonomous learning, particularly in situations when online learning is desired. Moreover, most students respond positively to the implementation of SRL strategy in online learning.

Speaking has emerged as a significant issue, particularly among the students at IKIP Siliwangi. Students who are enrolled in English education programs struggle to communicate effectively in the classroom using English. Therefore, the research investigates the students' perceptions of EFL speaking skills. The study utilizes a qualitative method with descriptive qualitative as the research design. The participants consist of 40 students enrolled at one of the universities in Bandung, west Java. The students are currently in their third semester, pursuing a major in the English education study program. Questionnaires, observations, and interviews were used to acquire the data. Questionnaires covered three parts: speaking method, media, and teacher's activities, while the interview was carried out with a total of nine students. Subsequently, the data were analyzed qualitatively. Based on the findings, three things are discussed: The first is that the students prefer interesting topics for presentation when they learn speaking subjects. Interesting topic of presentation can trigger their motivation to talk. The second is the students also like handouts as guidelines for speaking subjects. The last is the teacher, who is expected to be a facilitator and motivator in the classroom. Overall, the students expect that lecturers can help them by providing them with interesting topics and handouts to trigger them to talk about speaking subjects.

Hartono Hartono, Januarius Mujiyanto , Sri Wuli Fitriati, Zulfa Sakhiyya — Wed, 07 Aug 2024 00:00:00 +0700

As communication skills become critical success factors and prominent features of graduates’ global employability, the accounting major students in this study were trained to make English presentations as they took EAP of English for Accounting. The study investigated their learning efforts to master the presentation and their self-efficacy. Sixty-one students were purposively selected for the study. Two specially designed questionnaires were used to collect data: 1) a 14-statement Likert-type learning effort questionnaire and 2) a 24-statement English presentation self-efficacy questionnaire of ‘can do’ scales. The questionnaires were administered as the students were preparing for their final exam. With SPSS software 25, descriptive and correlational analyses were run. The students had a very high learning effort to master the English presentation skills (mean score = 80.311, SD = 11.039), and a high self-efficacy (mean score = 121.85, SD = 19.152). These two variables were positively correlated at a moderate level (r = 0.573). The study contributes to the research body of learning efforts and self-efficacy of accounting students in mastering English presentation skills. Other contributions are discussed.

WHY AND HOW: EXPLORING ENGLISH EDUCATION STUDENTS’ TECHNOLOGICAL PEDAGOGICAL CONTENT KNOWLEDGE (TPCK) DURING TEACHING PRACTICE

Yulia Nur Ekawati, Issy Yuliasri, Mursid Saleh, Rahayu Puji Haryanti — Wed, 07 Aug 2024 00:00:00 +0700

This study aims to explore English education students as candidate teachers for their technological pedagogical content knowledge (TPCK) during teaching practice. There have been studies investigating TPCK for teachers and candidate teachers. However, very few have explored the issues regarding the importance and ways of candidate teachers exploring their TPCK during teaching practice. The purposes of this study are (1) to explore the importance of TPCK for English education students in their teaching practice and (2) to explain how they integrate TPCK into their teaching. Data were gathered using research techniques such as questionnaires, documentation checklists, and one-on-one interviews. The study reveals that candidate teachers must prepare the TPCK framework before they do the teaching practice. They will get experiences from lecturers and peers exploring their TPCK to their lesson plans and teaching practices. They can integrate the knowledge of technology when delivering material (content knowledge) and explain it using proper teaching methods (pedagogical knowledge). These activities start with deciding learning objectives, designing assessments, and implementing detailed teaching steps. Additionally, it was discovered that when the lecturer inquired about any difficulties they had creating and carrying out a lesson plan based on TPCK, they felt both ashamed and terrified. When they first have conversations with their peers, they are happier. Moreover, lecturers must provide students with more encouragement so that they become better teachers. The study indicates that more investigation is necessary to understand how peers contribute to their learning of TPCK and recommends more studies on peers’ contributions to TPCK.

The art of Tutur Tadut is one of the traditional arts originating from the Semende region, namely the Besemah jagat and the area of South Ogan Komering Ulu which developed by the Semende tribe. The art of Tutur Tadut is da'wah in nature and used to be presented at the women's recitation gathering in the Besemah area. Until now, the art of Tutur Tadut is still growing and has begun to be presented in entertainment events such as weddings, and aqiqah events. Until now, the art of Tadut has developed to several regions in South Sumatra, one of which is the city of Pagaralam. In Pagaralam City, Tadut is usually performed in wedding entertainment events. The poetry delivered in this Tadut art contains Islamic teachings, such as the pillars of Islam, the pillars of faith, Sufis, the form of Allah, the three sciences, the proposal of love, and self. Indirectly, apart from being entertainment, ta'dut art aims to teach about Islam to its listeners through art. But nowadays, the poems in the art of Tadut not only contain Islamic preaching, but can also be adapted to the context of the event such as in weddings, speakers can provide lyrics related to advice for newlyweds or society in general. At present, the art of takdut has begun to decrease in interest, especially among young people. Related to this, the researchers are interested in describing the existence of takdut speech art in the Semende community in South Sumatra. The method used is descriptive qualitative method. Data collection using observation, interviews, literature study and documentation. Data validity technique using triangulation mode from interview data, observation and documentation. Data analysis used through the stages of data reduction, data presentation, and verification/conclusion drawing.

Applying suitable instructional approaches may improve learning motivation and ease the teaching and learning process. This research was motivated by the inadequacy in the English reading abilities of fourth-semester students who are studying in the English programme at Universitas Jabal Ghafur, Aceh. The aim of the research is to investigate the learning motivation of students in the fourth-semester reading content by using the mind mapping approach. This study employs a research approach that incorporates both quantitative and qualitative methodologies. Nevertheless, the researcher in this essay explicitly highlights the use of qualitative approaches. Data is gathered by the process of observation, questionnaires, interviews, and documentation. Data analysis techniques include data reduction, data visualisation, and drawing conclusions. The poll results showed that 20% of students disagreed with the use of mind mapping, 44% agreed with it, and the remaining 36% strongly supported it. The data was obtained by the administration of a questionnaire. After interviewing 15 participants who earned the highest, average, and lowest scores, it was shown that the use of the mind mapping approach substantially enhanced their motivation throughout the learning process. The use of the mind mapping technique significantly enhanced the learning motivation of fourth-semester students in the English Study Programme at Universitas Jabal Ghafur throughout their study of reading materials.

Sutarsih Sutarsih, R. Lungid Ismoyoputro — Wed, 07 Aug 2024 00:00:00 +0700

The postcolonial paradigm is a condition regarding the sovereign rights of a country that has become independent from colonialism. However, in determining the path of national life, an independent country is still distorted by old thinking, namely when it was still in the colonial period. Indonesia, as a country that has become independent from colonialism, has firmly stated that 'independence is the right of all nations and therefore, colonialism in the world must be abolished because it is not by humanity and justice'. This is stated in the Preamble to the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia. As time passed, the Law Number 6 of 2023 concerning Job Creation was born. Data were analyzed using the intralingual equivalence method to examine linguistic features such as meaning, information, and text. From a forensic linguistics perspective, the relationship between the content of the law and theories related to postcoloniality will be studied. From a legal standpoint, the relationship between the 1945 Constitution as the basis for forming legal regulations in Indonesia and the theory of legal formation in an independent country. The research results found that the postcolonial paradigm is still strong in the content of the articles in the law.

THE PATTERN OF MISUSE OF “NI” AND “DE” AS THE PARTICLES THAT FUNCTION AS PLACE MARKERS

Ai Sumirah Setiawati, Fathur Rokhman, Ida Zulaeha, Rina Supriatnaningsih — Wed, 07 Aug 2024 00:00:00 +0700

Japanese has many particles that confuse students, including students from Indonesia. This is because many particles, when translated into Indonesian, have the same meaning even though their use is very different in Japanese. This research aims to analyze the misuse patterns of the particles “ni” and “de”, which function as place markers, and what caused them. This research used a qualitative approach on 60 students learning elementary Japanese, consisting of 23 males and 37 females. The data collection technique was a test filling in the correct particles in the blank spaces in sentences. Based on the results of the analysis, it can be seen that (1) learners tend to use the particle “ni” as a place marker, either indicating activity or simply indicating presence; (2) the use of the particle “de” as a marker for the location of activity tends to be more confused with the use of the particle "ni" as a marker for the location of objects or people and animals; (3) whether the particle “ni” or “de” is located at the beginning of a sentence, namely following the first word in the sentence, then students tend to use the particle “wa” (the particle marking the subject/point of the sentence), because the first word is considered the subject or main sentence; (4) If the particle “ni” or “de” is located at the end before the predicate in the sentence, then students tend to use the particle “o/wo” (object marking particle), because the previous word is considered the object of the sentence. The causes of errors found were the influence of the mother tongue, overgeneralization, and fossilization.

A STUDY OF PANTUN ACCOMPANIMENT MUSICAL STRUCTURE IN JONGGAN PERFORMANCE ART AMONG DAYAK KANAYATN

Yudhistira Oscar Olendo, Wadiyo Wadiyo, Martono Martono, Widodo Widodo — Wed, 07 Aug 2024 00:00:00 +0700

Jonggan is a popular performance art among Dayak Kanayatn in West Kalimantan. Jonggan performance art is a Dayak Kanayatn traditional art that has been passed down through generations. The form of Jonggan performance showcases a blend of music, dance, and entertaining pantun. With advanced rapid technologies, the role and presence of musicians in these performances have diminished. Recent Jonggan performances have undergone notable changes, including (1) dance movements, (2) costumes, (3) the presence of a whistle blower, and (4) the use of curtains. During 1960s and 1970s, Jonggan remained prevalent. Hence, from the 1980s to the present, Jonggan has become unknown, especially among millennials, and even it is performed, it has significant transformation.

Consider Non-Formal Aesthetics

Sunarto Sunarto, Irfanda Rizki Harmono Sejati, Ibnu Amar Muchsin — Wed, 07 Aug 2024 00:00:00 +0700

Until now, in art education, Western aesthetics dominates as a science that has (as if) been patented for analyzing (formal) art (materials). Every time he researches, writes and analyzes the field of art, he always uses formal Western aesthetics. Finally, up to this moment, Western aesthetic formality (as it seems) cannot be shaken in its position in the study of art in Indonesia. From the classical aesthetic theory of Ancient Greece to Modern, it has become a [1]'mandatory' formal [2]material in aesthetic (art) analysis.

From the context of formal aesthetics, is there no non-formal aesthetics or alternative aesthetics? Of course, what is meant here is non-Western aesthetics which can be used as a formal art object.

Looking for non-formal aesthetics is a 'resistance' to the dominance of established Western aesthetics. Western aesthetics has had standardization and recognition as a "science"; Meanwhile, non-formal aesthetics (possibly) still has no standardization or recognition as a science. Formal aesthetics is within the grand narrative , while non-formal aesthetics is still within the scope of the little narrative .

Almost all kids have trouble understanding what is being stated when someone speaks. 2) Pronunciation of the English language is too quick and confusing. 3) Misunderstandings of meaning frequently occur in conversations. Applying project based learning is able to assist students’ listening due to it provides students the chance to have more practice.

UNVEILING GRAMMATICAL AND UNGRAMMATICAL CLAUSES IN ENGLISH WRITING PROFICIENCY TEST SIMULATIONS AMONG INDONESIAN SCHOLARSHIP AWARDEES

Muhammad Adi Pratama, Aris Munandar — Thu, 08 Aug 2024 00:00:00 +0700

Indonesian learners of English generated ungrammaticalities in International English Language Testing System (IELTS) writing simulations. Deciphering the scores based on the test’s official descriptors is also intricate. These two problems hinder self-evaluations and improvements. Hence, this study examined grammatical and ungrammatical clauses based on subject-verb (S + V) structures in IELTS writing performances completed by Indonesia’s Lembaga Pengelola Dana Pendidikan (LPDP) Affirmation Scholarship awardees during test simulations and the ratios of these two types of clauses according to the simulation score variation. To do so, we did archival research by obtaining data from teachers’ documents. Initially, a qualitative method was employed to identify the clauses as either grammatical or ungrammatical. This was followed by a quantitative method to discover the clauses’ numbers, including their proportions via an Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) test. The results showed that the grammatical clauses exhibit diverse structures, influenced by the test requirements and participants’ needs to express their ideas. Conversely, the ungrammatical clauses stem from the writers’ limited English proficiency and test pressures. The grammatical clauses outnumber the ungrammatical ones by approximately threefold. The lower proportions of ungrammatical clauses correlate with the lower scores. However, the higher proportions of grammatical clauses do not necessarily equate to the higher scores. The statistical correlation between the clause proportions and score variation is confirmed. This study ultimately enhances learning, evaluation, and improvement of the test skill, as well as understanding the descriptors and aiding the score prediction for learners and educators.

This case study analysis also explores how the interaction between cultural heritage authorization relates to tourism. In practice, commodification has created complexities and the emergence of tensions based on interests. The analysis approach uses Antony Giddens' structuration theory, on the issues of modernity, space-time distantiation, disembedding, and reflexivity. The main argument is not limited to the practice of commodification as a form of adaptation to global change, but how the reconstruction of traditional style mask cultural products is able to reflect the basic understanding as a difference from traditional mask cultural products. Traditional masks are rooted in the cultural values of local communities, whereas traditional style masks are a form of interaction between relations in the authorization of mask cultural heritage, tourism and are oriented towards resource exploration, which are constructed for economic and political interests. Commodification by reconstructing traditional masks into traditional style masks, in practice has brought many benefits. Reducing unemployment and foreign exchange rates for the country. Meanwhile, on the other hand, tensions between hierarchically powerful agents are also increasing, especially the unequal position between external agents and local communities.

The present study examined English grammatical errors in English as a Foreign Language students in synchronous online learning presentations and discussions. The participants in this study were second-year students in the postgraduate program at the English study program of Bengkulu University. The data were obtained during their presentation and discussion about the predetermined material via the Zoom platform. The Zoom meetings were recorded and transcribed to identify grammatical errors. The surface structure taxonomy was adopted to examine utterance errors, categorized into four types: misformation, misordering, addition, and omission. The Linguistics classification approach was also utilized to display in-depth data about the grammatical errors. According to the findings, omission was the most common type of grammatical error indicated, followed by addition, misformation, and misordering. Interestingly, in linguistics categorizations, the errors were identified in word form and verb form as the most common errors students commit in their online presentations and discussions, followed by subject-verb agreement and plural forms. The study suggested that students' grammatical errors were likely due to carelessness, as they were expected to be familiar with these grammar concepts. Conversely, no grammatical mistakes were detected in the use of prepositions, articles, tenses, and questions during the presentation and discussion by postgraduate students. This indicates that the graduate students did not have problems with these aspects of English grammar.

An object can only be a work of art as long as there are social relations that place it in that position, and social relations are never sterile from ideology and political-economic interests, so the autonomy of art is a figment. Whether we realize it or not, admit it or not, art is part of the process of social change. Here the evaluation criteria for the quality of works of art also shift. A work of art is essentially a form of social relationship, so the most intrinsic evaluation criterion for it is the extent to which the work is able to present the most intense experience of social relationship. The Galombang dance has been transformed into the creative Galombang dance, which is dominated by female dancers as performers. Today, female domination begins with dancer and host Carano.

PHILOSOPHICAL BASIS OF ARTS EDUCATION

Naomi Diah Budi Setyaningrum, M Jazuli, Hartono Hartono, Malarsih Malarsih — Thu, 08 Aug 2024 00:00:00 +0700

Philosophy of art or often called “aesthetics”, since ancient times until the Modern century, even Contemporary in studying art from a philosophical point of view, the ratio is often dominant. Some philosophers even argue that art does not belong solely to taste, but also to the ratio. This shows that art is truly human. It was Descrates who said, “cogito ergo sum”: Kant, “critique der urteriskraft”: Langer, “symbolic logic”. All of them point out that methodical skepticism establishes a balance of the rational and the empirical in a level of consciousness that includes the creation of symbolic forms and human feelings in order to create art. Philosophy and art are creative communication, but their means and ends are different. Philosophy is: the search for truth, while art is more about creation and enjoying value. Even if art uses language as in literature, this use is not the same in philosophy. The purpose of art is to evoke aesthetic emotions, while in philosophy, language is a tool to speak the truth. Through the philosophy of art, the understanding of art will be richer. Many things can be questioned. However, the question as a challenge is that philosophy of art is not just art history or music history. When we struggle with the axiology of art, our minds are challenged with the question “What about the epistemology of art” Is it possible?” Looking at the premises as stated, we can conclude that the existence of a philosophy of art is something legitimate; philosophical thoughts about art are a counterpoint and at the same time so that art does not develop naively.

Cultural acculturation is a process of interaction between various cultures that produces unique new cultural forms. This article discusses cultural acculturation in Semarangan bridal make-up, a unique tradition that developed in Semarang, Central Java. As an important port city since the colonial era, Semarang is a meeting place for Javanese, Chinese, Arab and Dutch cultures, all of which contribute to the aesthetics and meaning of local bridal make-up. Elements of Javanese culture are seen in the use of the bun, while Chinese culture is reflected in the choice of bright colors and good luck symbols as well as the bride's name, namely "encik". The influence of Arab and Islamic culture appears in the name of the groom, namely "manten kaji", while Dutch culture is seen in the modern techniques and materials in the wedding dress as well as the crown as a head accessory. This acculturation not only creates a unique aesthetic but also enriches the cultural identity of the people of Semarang, reflecting a long history of harmonious cultural interaction. Semarangan bridal makeup is a symbol of rich cultural and historical heritage that continues to be preserved by the younger generation. This article highlights how cultural acculturation in bridal make-up can create extraordinary harmony and beauty, as well as the importance of preserving this tradition to celebrate Indonesia's cultural diversity.

Sigit Trihantoro, Didik Supriadi — Thu, 08 Aug 2024 00:00:00 +0700

Panji Asmara Bangun's relationship with other characters gives rise to an interesting plot, characterization, and theme. As a king, the allegations of heroic leadership, propaganda, and character education in this character contain interesting complexities. The book by Mangun Wijaya (1932 AD) seems to lead to the occurrence of an area or called babad. Through a critical discourse analysis approach consisting of 5 studies, action, context, history, power, and ideology can be used to identify the object of writing in the story. The character's relationship as the basis for the study of other literary elements is able to produce a prototype of leadership that is carried out, the ability of state management related to propaganda, and a model of selfcharacter that is expected to be a reference for readers. The existence of literature until now proves this, but there is no study that clearly describes the potential contained in the prose literature. This research uses a qualitative method. In this study, the results found that heroic leadership contains twenty-one data, propaganda contains twenty-one data and character education contains thirty data. Panji Asmara Bangun who acts as a Javanese leader is expected to be able to make a positive contribution to today's leaders with original Javanese characters can be realized.

THE MEANING OF THE MALANG MASK PHILOSOPHY BASED ON AUGMENTED REALITY

Lisa Sidyawati, Eko Sugiarto, Djuli Djatiprambudi, Muhammad Ibnan Syarif — Thu, 08 Aug 2024 00:00:00 +0700

Masks have various roles and functions that vary in each region and country. These differences include using masks as manifestations, means of worship, burial equipment, dance clothing attributes, and other purposes. Masks are considered carvings that reflect a person's characteristics. In Malang, East Java, Indonesia, there is the Malang Mask tradition, which has become an icon of the city and is inspired by the story of Panji. Some masks are kept in museums, and others are the property of the Malang Mask Dance. The Panji Museum and Kampung Topeng are some places that continue to preserve the history of Malang Masks so that they do not become extinct. Unfortunately, these places do not provide complete information about the character of each mask, so visitors sometimes need clarification. Therefore, researchers are trying to develop an application that can present infographics about the character of each mask with philosophical meanings—the development method adopted by the Borg & Gall development model. The Borg and Gall development model has ten steps for implementing research and development (RnD) strategies. However, in the context of this research, the number of steps was simplified to 7, considering the limited research time. The result is an augmented reality-based Panji Story Mask infographic application that depicts dancers' masks and costumes and their philosophical meaning. It is hoped that the character depiction of each mask will be a role model for the younger generation so they can know which traits are good and which traits are bad. It is also hoped that this digital application will improve the image of the museum and be used as a learning medium for students and the general public.

Dance art education aims to develop various dimensions of children's intelligence and development, such as: moving hands and feet, jumping (motor development), memorizing movements (cognitive development), maintaining cohesiveness and cooperation in team or group dance (social-emotional and storytelling development and also language development). In the fact, students experience several difficulties, including limited learning time, lack of adequate facilities, and the absence of basic arts considering that students from PGSD study programs have never had previous experience. This research uses experimental research methods, a type of pre-experimental research with a one-group pretest-post-test design. The sample in the research was the 3^rd semester students taking dance and drama education course totaling 19 students. Based on the ranks table above, it can be seen that the average increase in scores between before and after treatment is 10. It can also be seen that there are no exact same scores between the learning outcomes scores between before and after treatment. Then, based on the test statistics table, it is known that Asymp. Sig. (2-tailed) is 0.000, which is smaller than 0.05 (0.000 < 0.05). So it can be concluded that there is a significant difference in the average learning score between before and after using PBL.
