BATIK SUDAGARAN SURAKARTA STUDI KASUS BATIK DANAR
HADI. Tesis. Batik Sudagaran Surakarta merupakan sebuah
inovasi karena muncul di saat ragam hias batik di daerah
Vorstenlanden masih berkiblat pada simbolisme dan makna
filosofis batik Klasik. Dinamika yang tertuang dalam ekspresi dan
muatan visual ragam hias batik Sudagaran menjadi suatu hal
yang menarik untuk dikaji karena batik ini tumbuh dan
berkembang di bawah bayangan batik Klasik, tetapi mampu
menemukan karakternya sendiri. Permasalahan yang dikaji pada
penelitian ini adalah bagaimana pola perubahan serta korelasi
antara ekspresi dan muatan ragam hias batik Sudagaran Danar
Hadi periode 1967 hingga sekarang. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk
menganalisa pola perubahan, serta hubungan antara ekspresi dan
muatan pada ragam hias batik Sudagaran dengan studi kasus
batik Danar Hadi pada periode 1967 hingga sekarang. Teori
semiotika Hjlemslev digunakan sebagai pendekatan untuk
menganalisa ekspresi dan muatan visual pada ragam hias batik
Sudagaran, sehingga pola perubahan ragam hias batik Sudagaran
dapat teridentifikasi.
Hasil temuan penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa ekspresi dan
muatan motif pada batik Sudagaran pada dasarnya tidak
merupakan satu kesatuan yang mengandung maksud tertentu,
melainkan hanya merupakan susunan-susunan tradisional
maupun kreasi baru yang mengandung nilai keindahan. Namun,
jika dikaji menggunakan teori semiotika Hjlemslev, maka ekspresi
dan muatan menjadi memiliki arti dan korelasi karena adanya
tingkatan substansi dan bentuk. Pada batik, motif merupakan
ekspresi bentuk yang tervisualisasi karena adanya ekspresi
substansi dari faktor-faktor penyusun, seperti titik, garis, bidang,
warna, dan tekstur. Ekspresi bentuk merupakan gambaran dari
muatan substansi yang sifatnya bisa abstrak maupun nyata.
Muatan substansi dan ekspresi bentuk memiliki hubungan
bersifat arbitrer yang tertuang secara implisit pada muatan
bentuk. Batik Sudagaran Danar Hadi pada periode 1967 hingga
sekarang mengalami perubahan pola ragam hias, pertama,
mengacu pada pola Klasik. Kedua, kombinasi pola klasik dan
flora. Ketiga, gubahan atau berorientasi pada pola Klasik.
Keempat, kreasi adaptif.

Teachers' beliefs about using a professional development plan
Professional development plans (PDPs) have recently been introduced in Dutch schools to support teachers’ professional development. However, teachers’ beliefs regarding the use of PDPs have not been systematically researched, whereas research on the use of PDPs indicates that the implementation is not always successful and depends on how use is perceived by users. Some teachers may doubt the usefulness and purpose of a PDP, and this might influence their reactions to its intro- duction. Using Fishbein and Ajzen’s theory of planned behav- iour, the current study explored teachers’ characteristics (such as age and years of experience in education) and their beliefs about intention to use a PDP. Clusters of teachers with similar characteristics and beliefs were identified to permit the design of interventions specific to each cluster. Semi-structured inter- views were conducted to reveal these beliefs and characteristics for a sample of 41 teachers working in schools where using a PDP was mandatory. The results showed that most teachers had a positive attitude towards using a PDP. However, because using a PDP was mandatory, they felt pressured to produce one. Moreover, it was not a priority. This was because of their high workload. The present study contributes to the literature by adding knowledge of teachers’ beliefs about the use of PDPs. This knowledge may help the PDP to become a more effective device in promoting teachers’ professional development
How affective-motivational variables and approaches to learning predict mathematics achievement in upper elementary levels
The relationship between students' motivation and attitudes towards mathematics, the approaches to learning they use, and their achievement in mathematics has been widely documented in middle school and further academic levels. However, the empirical research in earlier educational stages remains scarce. This study analyzed the predictive value of affective-motivational variables and deep and surface approaches to learning on mathematics achievement in a sample of 524 upper elementary students. Multiple linear regression analysis was used to examine the predictors of mathematics achievement. Mathematics enjoyment positively predicted mathematics achievement and age and the use of the surface approach to learning negatively predicted mathematics achievement. The variables in the model explained 21.3% of the variance in mathematics achievement. Mean differences in the affective-motivational variables and approaches to learning occurred between students with very high and very low achievement in Mathematics, yielding further evidence of important differences between the achievement extremes
