Improving Reading Comprehension Through Semantic Mapping Strategy For Indonesian Senior High School Students
This research investigates how semantic mapping strategy can improve students\u27 reading comprehension. The subject of this research was the ten grade students consisted of 32 students. In this classroom action research, the researcher used quantitative data to see the improvement of the students\u27 reading comprehension, and qualitative data to explain the change in students\u27 behaviour during the implementation of the strategy. Based on the result of the test conducted at the end of the cycle and the analysis of the observation checklist and field notes, it could be concluded that both the students\u27 reading comprehension and the students\u27 attitude during the reading class have been improved. The students who passed the test improved from 43.75% at the baseline data to 87.5% at the end of cycle II. This improvement mostly influenced by the second and the third phase of semantic mapping strategy, which are brainstorming categorization. In this phases, the students activate their prior know and learn to visualize relationship between ideas and put them into categories. Thus, the students have a better comprehension of the text. The students also showed better motivation, interest, participation, and enthusiasm toward the learning process proven by the results of the observation. However, the materials in this present research were short reading texts. The implementation of the strategy on longer reading texts should be taken into a deeper study in the future research

Kontribusi Good Corporate Governance Untuk Mengurangi Terjadinya Audit Delay
The delay of audit report being able to mislead stakeholders, especially investors in taking decision is the main issue of the research. The research objective is to prove empirically contribution of good corporate governance mechanism to decrease the audit delay. Banking companies listed in Indonesia stock exchange within 2011-2013 are the samples of the research. Multiple regression analysis, preceded by classical assumption test is used as analysis tool in the research. The research findings partially showed that managerial and institutional ownership did not affect to audit delay, while proportion of independent commissionairy boards significantly affected to audit delay. Nevertheless, simultaneously managerial and institutional ownership as well as proportion of independent commissionary boards and the number of audit committee significantly affected to audit delay

Pengembangan Kafah Learning Model untuk Meningkatkan Pemahaman Konsep Fluida Dinamis
This study aims to develop the Kafah Learning Model as an alternative to making learning meaningful. The research design uses a 4D model, namely define, design, develop, and disseminate. The Kafah Learning Model for Science developed is Dynamic Fluid Concepts (Airplane Lift). The data was collected with meaningful learning questionnaires and kafah concept understanding tests. The testing stage is the stage of knowing the influence of the Kafah Learning Model on understanding concepts in a kafah manner and knowing the meaningful learning response of prospective teachers. The increase in understanding of the concept is calculated based on the N-Gain and paired t-test. The results showed that the Kafah Learning Model for Dynamic Fluid Concepts (Airplane Lift) which was developed was valid and reliable, worthy of use in meaningful learning and influential in increasing the understanding of science concepts in kafah
