Penguatan Bahasa Indonesia di Kancah Persaingan Global dan Signifikansinya bagi Studi Filsafat

The study of Indonesian language issues in higher education states that the low positive attitude of Indonesian citizens towards Indonesian language is the root of the birth of problems surrounding Indonesian language. Therefore, this study affirms the position of Indonesian in the global competition.  Through regular and serious efforts to increase vocabulary, the ability of Indonesian vocabulary in expressing intellectual thoughts or in the development of science, technology and art cannot be underestimated. This optimism is supported by the positive attitude of the Indonesian people towards the Indonesian language, the increase of groups who cannot speak Indonesian and groups who are not proficient in Indonesian, the dissemination of codification results (Indonesianization of foreign words and terms) to Indonesian speakers, and the publication of codification results and language development as much as possible. In addition, this study reveals the central position of Indonesian as a means of studying philosophy. This point is intended to further convince the academic community of the philosophy campus of the importance of Indonesian as a means of revealing cultural treasures, a means of logical consideration, and a means of personality development

Pre-Service Teahers’ Use of Mobile-Based Mindfulness Practices During Covid-19 Pandemic Era

Mindfulness is the basic human ability to be fully present, aware of where they are and what they are doing, and not overly reactive or overwhelmed by what is going around them. The growing evidence of the use of mindfulness practice on promoting psychological wellbeing and self-regulation is in line with the increasing use of mobile applications in this digital era nowadays especially during the COVID-19 pandemic era. This study aims to find out the influence of two mobile-based mindfulness apps, Calm and Headspace, on the pre-service teachers of English as a Foreign Language (EFL) in Indonesia studying online during COVID-19 pandemic era. The 43 subjects were given 20-session-mindfulness intervention (guided and independent trainings) using the two mobile-based mindfulness apps. The data from the Five Facet Mindfulness Questionnaire (FFMQ), the classroom observations, and the written interviews were analysed quantitatively and qualitatively. The results from the t-test analysis on the FFMQ show that there was an improvement on the subjects’ mindfulness level after the intervention. Furthermore, the results of the observation and the interview show that the oral narrations of the contents in the apps were found useful as a means to provide positive learning environment before and during the learning practice. Moreover, the oral narrations of the contents in the apps were specifically found useful as a means to practice listening comprehension. Therefore, besides being served as a means to practice and improve the pre-service teachers’ mindfulness level, mobile-based mindfulness apps could also be used to enhance one’s English listening comprehension skills. The use of mobile-based mindfulness applications can be promising for pre-service teachers in Indonesia who need to have balance academic and social-emotional skills to support their role in teaching students in the future
