Patterns of Teaching-Learning Interaction in the EFL Classroom

The successfullness of teaching-learning process is highly influenced by the patterns of interactions appeared in the classroom activities. Through this case study, the purpose of this paper is to explore the patterns of interaction during teaching and learning proccess. Two accellerated classes were observed and recorded to gain the data. The findings revealed that the patterns of interaction emerged in the first class were group work, choral responses, closed-ended teacher questioning (IRF), individual work, student initiates-teacher answers, open-ended teacher questioning, and collaboration. Meanwhile, the patterns of interaction in the second class showed closed-ended teacher questioning (IRF), open-ended teacher questioning, choral responses, student initiates-teacher answers, group work, and individual work pattern. The patterns of interaction were produced from teacher and student(s) and/or student(s) and student(s) in relation to the teacher talk and the students talk categories used during learning activities. These patterns were produced constantly. They are to show that the teaching-learning process was not always dominated by the teacher. Most students actively participate as well in any classroom activity. Thus, these patterns absolutely increase the students talk and students' participation in the class. It is necessary for teachers to reorganize the active activities which might foster more interaction in the classroom

Genetic Diversity and Trait Association Analysis of Indonesian Rice (Oryza Sativa L.) Germplasm Using Ssr Markers

Generating a new crop variety with certain desirable traits requires germplasm collection with wide genetic diversity to facilitate accelerated development of improved cultivars. This study was conducted to characterize genetic diversity of Indonesian rice accessions using SSR markers and their agro-morphological characters to allow the identification of Marker Trait Association (MTA). A survey of genetic diversity among 72 traditional landraces of 15 provinces in Indonesia and 24 improved varieties was conducted using four multiplex panels of 14 fluorescent-labeled SSR markers and 22 agro-morphological characters. A total of 140 alleles with an average of 10 alleles per locus and Polymorphism Information Content (PIC) values at 0.73. The population structure identified five subgroups. A total of 4 highly significant MTA were identified. One character with highly significant MTA was number of panicle associated with RM277. Based on SSR marker, RM105 had two MTAs for auricle color and ligule shape. After validation, these MTAs may be deployed to improve rice productivity

Revealing Hidden Political Agenda in the Presentation of Martin as a Zoophile in Edward Albee'sthe Goat, or Who is Sylvia?

Keywords: deviant sexual orientation, zoophile, queer politics, the goat, or who isSylvia? Social phenomenon shows a significant and rapid movement toward the existence of deviant sexual orientation, like zoophilic, a sexual desire to the animals. In assessing the whole life of a zoophile, people are preferable to use some prejudices which attach behind their sexual desire. A drama entitled The Goat, or Who is Sylvia? is interested in portraying about the life of a zoophile in the presentation of the main character named Martin. Yet, this drama describes his image as different from the preconceived notion of society. Hence, it emerges a question that this drama may have political interest toward the existence of a zoophile in the society. Therefore, this research is conducted to verify about this premise.This research uses queer theory, specifically queer politics to investigate the political purposes behind the normalization of a queerness to reject intolerance and discrimination in the society. Besides, this research also applies a qualitative approach through document analysis to examine the data taken from the drama.Some forms of normalization are used to depict the life of a zoophile. First, this drama presents Martin to have 4 (four) positive and 2 (two) major negative traits. Besides, his normalization also covers 3 (three) social roles fulfillment as a part of family and peers group. Furthermore, other presentation shows that he has 2 (two) higher achievement as a smart and successful person. Those findings finally can detect the intention of this drama to portray the real life of a zoophile. It happens because queer politics views that zoophile also undergoes the same life as other normal people, thus a zoophile does not deserve to be treated bad among the society.Based on the study findings, this research concludes that the presentations of Martin have a political purpose to gain societal acceptance for alleviating intolerance and discrimination toward the existence of a zoophile. Furthermore, the next research can be suggested to explore this drama in term of his psychological perspective while having inner conflict to come out as a zoophile or his surrounding responses to reject his zoophile identity using socio-psychological approach

Ijtihâd Istinbât Dan Ijtihâd Tatbîqi Menurut Al-syâtibî Dalam Kitâb Al-muwafaqât

This article outlines the problems and tatbiqi istinbati ijtihad according to al-Syatibi in the book of al-Muwafaqât. From the results of the discussion is known that; Ijtihad is an attempt to think optimally in multiplying laws of the source for answers to legal issues that arise in society. Istinbâti Ijtihad is an effort to conclude the law of his sources (legal excavation efforts of the sacred texts). While ijtihad tatbîqi is an attempt to apply the law appropriately to a case (attempt to apply the law that was unearthed from the sacred texts to the object of law). According to al-Mujtahid Syatibi should not apply the law that has been excavated from the Qur\u27an or the Sunna as it is, he is obliged to give consideration based on the circumstances surrounding the object of the law. Wherever the law resulting from his ijtihad is not suitable to be applied to the object of law because the application of laws that bring harm, then the mujtahid must find other, more appropriate laws so that harm can be eliminated and the benefit can be achieved
