Akar Banalitas Intelektual (Suatu Kajian Filsafat Ilmu)

This research starts from the problems of education in Indonesia in which Heru Nugroho call them “intellectual banality”. The intellectual banality is a situation which is characterized by unconscious superficiality of thought, and degradation of intellectual and academic quality. Basic idea of this research is to look for roots of the intellectual banality at the level of philosophy of science because educational practices presuppose a perspective to science. Roots of the intellectual banality in this research are: first, there is a priority of quantitative perspective to measure intellectual quality. Prioritization of the quantitative perspective can be viewed as a romanticism of induction method triumph;.second, ignorance the aim of science which is create the humanitarian welfare in general, not only one or a small group of person

Mixed Media to Build a New Interpretation of the 1965–1966 Massacre in Indonesia from the Victim’s Point of View in W.J.T. Mitchell’s Perspective

ABSTRACT   The significance of the image has been a central topic of discourse both in the academic sphere and public culture in recent decades. W.J.T. Mitchell calls this change the “pictorial turn” to mark a shift from the linguistic turn. The pictorial turn also impacts genocide and massacre studies. Images are not only tools for illustrating, but are also the main elements that contribute to knowledge formation of tragedy and memory transmission. The central concern of this research is mixed media, a graphic narrative entitled Sejarah Gerakan Kiri Indonesia untuk Pemula [The History of the Indonesian Left Movement for Beginners]. This mixed media work is a powerful instrument to build a new interpretation of the 1965–1966 massacre in Indonesia from the victims’ point of view, based on Mitchell’s perspective.  The 1965–1966 massacre in Indonesia killed more than 500,000 and arrested more than one million people without trial. The massacre targeted the members or partisans of the Indonesian Communist Party [Partai Komunis Indonesia] (PKI). In addition, the state used many cultural products, such as films and monuments, as means of indoctrination. In reaction to the situation, many survivors and artists have created alternative narratives of the 1965–1966 massacre in various media. One of the victim narratives is a 527-page illustrated book entitled The History of the Indonesian Left Movement for Beginners (2016), published by a group of illustrators, coordinated by Yayak Yatmaka.  This research employs Mitchell’s key concepts, such as the pictorial turn, metapicture, biopicture, the relationship of image and text, and images’ power, to examine mixed media and its power to build a new interpretation of the 1965–1966 massacre in Indonesia. This study suggests that mixed media can be a powerful instrument to represent the 1965–1966 massacre in Indonesia, primarily through its metapicture of perpetrators in animal visual metaphors and metapicture of mass violence in visual excess. This study also finds that Indonesia's 1965–1966 massacre image is a biopicture that always transforms into other media, despite the Indonesian state’s banning of the victim narrative. To enhance the viewers’ understanding of the massacre, the illustrated book employs a visual narrative to support the verbal narrative. The victim narrative mixed media also uses the “image against image” strategy to counter the master narrative’s images

Banalitas Intelektual Dalam Dunia Pendidikan Perguruan Tinggi Suatu Kajian Filsafat Ilmu

This paper discusses the educational problem in Indonesian higher education, which is called by Heru Nugraha as intellectual banality. Intellectual banality is a situation which is marked by unconscious superficiality of thinking and degradation of intellectual and academic quality. This paper aims to find out the causes of intellectual banality from the lens of the philosophy of science. We took this perspective since the educational practices carry out the assumption of how to view the science. Intellectual banality firstly happens due to the view which tends to put more emphasis on the quantity to measure the intellectual quality. This is viewed as the romanticism of inductive methods. The second cause is the neglection of the objective of science to reach the prosperity of all human beings, not only for some communities. Therefore, the changing views on how to measure the quality of education qualitatively need conducting to improve the higher educatio

SEVERITY OF ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT AND SOCIAL SKILLS DEFICITS

This study explored the differences in the rated social skills of elementary‐aged students at‐ risk for emotional/behavioural disorders (E/BD) based on severity of academic difficulties. Teachers nominated students at‐risk for E/BD who were classified into four groups of academic difficulty based on the Wide Range Achievement Test‐3. Students, parents, and teachers completed the Social Skills Rating System. Teachers’ ratings indicated that academic strengths did not significantly affect perceptions of students’ social competence; all children were rated with notable social skills deficits. Consistent with previous positive research, self‐ratings were uniformly positive across groups. Parents’ ratings indicated highest social competence for children with most severe academic deficits. Key words: emotional disorders, behavioural disorders, academic performance, elementary school, social competence;,self‐perceptions, parent perceptions, teacher perceptions Cette étude a exploré les différences chez des élèves du primaire présentant des risques de troubles affectifs et du comportement dans l’évaluation de leurs habiletés sociales , par rapport à la gravité de leurs difficultés académiques. Les enseignants ont désigné ces élèves à risque, qui ont été répartis en quatre groupes en fonction de leurs difficultés académiques évaluées en utilisant le Wide Range Achievement Test‐3. Les élèves, les parents et les enseignants ont rempli le questionnaire sur les aptitudes sociales (Social Skills Rating System). Les évaluations des enseignants révèlent que les aptitudes scolaires n’ont pas une incidence importante sur les perceptions des aptitudes sociales des élèves ; tous les enfants ont été évalués comme ayant d’importants déficits quant aux aptitudes sociales. Conformément à des recherches antérieures, les auto‐évaluations sont uniformément positives dans tous les groupes. Les évaluations des parents font état d’aptitudes sociales plus fortes chez les enfants ayant les déficits scolaires les plus graves.
