THE USE OF PICTURES SERIES IN IMPROVING STUDENTS' WRITING PROCEDURAL TEXT: Quasi Experimental Study of Seventh Grade Students at One Junior High School in Bandung)

This research paper entitled “The Use of Picture Series in Improving Students' Writing Procedural Text” was intended to test the effectiveness of using pictures series to improve students’ writing skill especially writing procedural text. The Participants in this study were seventh grade students at one Junior High School in Bandung. There were two classes used in collecting the data: the experimental group and the control group. This study implemented a quasi experimental as the research method. Furthermore, written test was conducted to obtain the data and students' writing products which were then analyzed using writing assessment criteria taken from Rose (2007, as cited by Emilia, 2011, p.151) . The findings showed that there was a significant difference between the mean of the experimental and that of the control group. The mean of the experimental group (M = 65.7) was higher than the control group (M = 60.8) with the large effect size (r = 0.92). It also showed that t (68) = 2.58 and sig = 0.012, p < 0.05 which means the use of pictures series was effective to improve students’ writing skills. It was proved by the students’ experimental group significant improvement in genre, register and discourse aspects in the posttest result. This research is expected to contribute to the teaching of English. In addition, it is suggested to investigate the effectiveness of using pictures series in improving other skills.

Peserta dalam penelitian ini adalah siswa dari kelas tujuh di salah satu sekolah menengah pertama di Bandung. Ada dua kelas yang digunakan untuk mengumpulkan data yaitu kelas eksperimen dan kelas kontrol. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode Quasi-experimental. Tes tertulis digunakan untuk mengumpulkan data dan hasil menulis siswa dianalisis menggunakan kriteria penilian khusus yang diambil dari Rose (2007, dalam Emilia, 2011, p.151). Temuan dalam penelitian ini menyatakan bahwa terdapat perbedaan yang cukup signifikan diantara rata-rata nilai grup eksperimen dan grup kontrol. Nilai rata-rata dari grup eksperimen (M = 65.7) lebih tinggi daripada grup kontrol (M = 60.8) dengan ukuran pengaruh yang tinggi (r=0.92). Selain itu terlihat t(68) = 2.58 dan sig = 0.012, p < 0.05 yang berati penggunaan gambar berseri berhasil mengembangkan kemampuan siswa dalam menulis teks prosedur. Itu telah dibuktikan dengan hasil tulisan siswa dari grup eksperiment di posttest yang mendapat perubahan signifikan dari segi Genre, register, dan Discourse. Penelitian ini diharapkan dapat memberikan kontribusi dalam pengajaran bahas inggris. Disarankan untuk meneliti keberhasilan penggunaan gambar berseri dalam mengembangkan kemampuan lainnya

PENGEMBANGAN DAN IMPLEMENTASI MEDIA PEMBELAJARAN FISIKA MATERI GEJALA GELOMBANG CAHAYA PADA SISWA SMA

Abstrak Media pembelajaran merupakan alat bantu yang berfungsi untuk menjelaskan sebagian dari keseluruhan program pembelajaran yang sulit dijelaskan secara verbal. Materi pembelajaran akan lebih mudah dan jelas jika dalam pembelajaran menggunakan media pembelajaran. Melalui media pembelajaran, bahan ajar akan tersampaikan kepada peserta didik secara lebih efektif. Oleh karena itu, diperlukan media pembelajaran yang sesuai dengan kompetensi dan teori-teori ilmiahnya guna menunjang pembelajaran yang efektif dan menarik. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah mengembangkan media pembelajaran fisika untuk membantu proses belajar peserta didik dan diharapkan mampu meningkatkan hasil belajar peserta didik pada materi gejala gelombang cahaya. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian pengembangan yang menggunakan model ADDIE (Analysis – Design – Develop – Implementation – Evaluate). Pada tahapan analysis, materi fisika yang ditetapkan untuk mengembangkan media pembelajaran fisika adalah materi gejala gelombang cahaya yang diantaranya adalah polarisasi dengan penyerapan selektif, difraksi cahaya, dan interferensi celah ganda. Setelah media selesai dibuat, selanjutnya dilakukan uji coba internal oleh peneliti, validasi media dan materi oleh dosen validator, dan uji coba lapangan kepada peserta didik untuk mengevaluasi dan menguji media pembelajaran yang sudah dikembangkan dengan tujuan yang sudah dibuat. Hasilnya, media pembelajaran yang dikembangkan dapat menunjukkan fenomena gejala gelombang cahaya dan mampu meningkatkan rata-rata hasil belajar peserta didik. Kata kunci: media pembelajaran, gejala gelombang cahaya. Abstract Learning media is a tool that functions to explain parts of the whole learning program that are difficult to explain verbally. Learning material will be easier and clearer if learning uses learning media. Through learning media, teaching materials will be conveyed to students more effectively. Therefore, learning media are needed that are in accordance with competence and scientific theories to support effective and interesting learning. The purpose of this research is to develop physics learning media to help the learning process of students and in the material about the phenomenon of light waves. This research is a development research using the ADDIE model (Analysis – Design – Develop – Implementation - Evaluate).

A Framework for Classifying Indonesian News Curator in Twitter

News curators in twitter are a user, which is interested in following, spreading, giving feedback of recent popular articles. There are two kinds of this user, news curator as human user and news aggregator as bot user. In prior works about news curator, the classification system built using followers, URL, mention and retweet feature. However, there are limited prior works for classifiying Indonesian News Curator in twitter and still hard for labelling data involve just two features: followers and URL. In this paper, we proposed a framework for classifying Indonesian news curator in twitter using Naïve Bayes Classifier (NBC) and added features such as location, bio profile, and common tweet. Another purpose for analysing the influential features of certain class, so its make easier for labelling data of this role in the future. Examination result using percentage split as evaluating system produced 87% accuracy. The most influential features for news curator are followers, bio profile, mention and retweet. For news aggregator class are followers, location, and URL. The rest just common tweet feature for not both class. We implemented Feature Subset Selection (FSS) for increasing system performance and avoiding the over fitting data, it has produced 92.90% accuracy

Responding to the Humanitarian Crisis of the Rohingya in Myanmar: A Comparison between the Role of State and NGOs

The present study discusses the role of NGOs in the efforts of the Indonesian Humanitarian Alliance for Myanmar (AKIM: Aliansi Kemanusian Indonesia Untuk Myanmar) to handle the humanitarian crisis experienced by Ethnic Rohingya groups in Myanmar in 2017. This phenomenon in Myanmar began to draw a lot of attention when the AKIM was able to contribute to the cause even though state actors and IGO attempts were blocked by the Myanmar government. In this case, NGOs were able to play a role outside the traditional structure of modern international relations that was inaccessible to state or international organizations (IGOs) or state governments. This phenomenon indicates that NGOs have more access to attempts to settle the humanitarian crisis being experienced by the ethnic Rohingya groups in Myanmar. This is notable because the Myanmar government has blocked the aid of other countries and IGOs and has denied the assistance offered by the United Nations. The qualitative method was used in this study, employing a case study model to observe the effects that occurred. During data collection researchers, used study documents, and then the data was processed through interpretive analytical techniques to draw conclusions and formulate a model for the study
