THE USE OF LEARNING STRATEGIES IN READING COMPREHENSION

Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui apakah ada perbedaan yang signifikan antara siswa yang berhasil dan tidak berhasil dalam menggunakan strategi belajar yang berbeda dalam kemampuan membaca bahasa Inggris. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif dan dilaksanakan di kelas XI dengan total siswa 64 orang. Untuk mengumpulkan data, peneliti memberikan sebuah kuesioner (LLSQ) dan test membaca. Data dianalisis dengan One way Anova. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa (1) tidak ada perbedaan yang signifikan antara siswa yang berhasil dan tidak berhasil dalam menggunakan strategi belajar yang berbeda, (2) sebagian besar siswa menggunakan strategi metakognitif (48.43%), sosial (29.69%), dan kognitif (21.88%). Oleh karena itu, siswa perlu diinformasikan tentang strategi-strategi belajar dan penggunaan yang tepat dalam membaca karena pemilihan strategi belajar adalah salah satu cara siswa dalam meningkatkan kemampuan membaca siswa.The research was aimed to find out whether or not there was significant difference between successful and unsuccessful learners in using difference learning strategies in reading comprehension. This research was a quantitative study and was conducted to 64 learners in second grade of SMAN 1 Gedong Tataan. In collecting data, the researcher gave a questionnaire (LLSQ) and reading test. The data was analyzed by using One way Anove. The results showed that (1) there was no significant difference between successful and unsuccessful learners in using difference learning strategies, (2) most of students used metacognitive strategy (48.43%), social (29.69%), and cognitive (21.88%). Therefore, the students need to be informed about learning strategies and how to use them appropriately in reading because choosing learning strategies was one of a students ways in improving their skill in reading.Keywords: learning strategies, reading comprehension, successful learner

The current research focuses on the analysis of the implementation of task-based language teaching especially in the pre-task phase to  investigate which task result is better between doing similar taskand strategic planningin improving students’ speaking achievement in term of complexity, accuracy, and fluency. The research involved  two classes, experimental and control class. The researcher used random assignment post-test design. Based on the results, it is reported that: (1) there was significant difference on the students’ speaking achievement in term of complexity after having strategic planningtask; (2) there was no significant difference in the accuracy and fluency before and after the implementation of strategic planningtask; (3) there was significant difference in termS of complexity and fluency after the use of doing similar task; and (4) there is no significant difference in term of accuracy before and after getting the treatment of doing similar task

Pengaruh Kepemilikan Institusional Dan Kepemilikan Manajerial Pada Konservatisme Akuntansi

This study examines the effect of institutional ownership and managerial ownership on accounting conservatism. The institution as the majority shareholder of the company strives to present quality earnings because it realizes that earnings information is an important concern for investors in making investment decisions. In addition, management participation as the owner of the company will be able to align goals between shareholders and management. Profit ability to maintain its quality is often associated with accounting conservatism. The population of this study is a company going public on the Indonesia Stock Exchange in the non-financial sector in the period 2014 to 2017. The study sample was determined using a purposive sampling method which resulted in a sample of 364 observations. The data analysis technique used in the study is multiple linear regression analysis. The test results prove that institutional ownership and managerial ownership have a positive effect on accounting conservatism. Keywords: Accounting conservatism; Institutional ownership; Managerial ownership. Penelitian ini menguji pengaruh kepemilikan institusional dan kepemilikan manajerial pada konservatisme akuntansi. Institusi sebagai pemegang saham mayoritas perusahaan berusaha untuk menyajikan laba yang berkualitas karena menyadari bahwa informasi laba menjadi perhatian penting bagi investor dalam melakukan keputusan investasi.

Relativistic ejecta from XRF 060218 and the rate of cosmic explosions

Over the last decade, long-duration gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) including the subclass of X-ray flashes (XRFs) have been revealed to be a rare variety of Type Ibc supernova (SN). While all these events result from the death of massive stars, the electromagnetic luminosities of GRBs and XRFs exceed those of ordinary Type Ibc SNe by many orders of magnitude. The essential physical process that causes a dying star to produce a GRB or XRF, and not just an SN, remains the crucial open question. Here we present radio and X-ray observations of XRF 060218 (associated with SN 2006aj), the second nearest GRB identified to-date, which allow us to measure its total energy and place it in the larger context of cosmic explosions. We show that this event is 100 times less energetic but ten times more common than cosmological GRBs. Moreover, it is distinguished from ordinary Type Ibc SNe by the presence of 10^48 erg coupled to mildly-relativistic ejecta, along with a central engine (an accretion-fed, rapidly rotating compact source) which produces X-rays for weeks after the explosion. This suggests that the production of relativistic ejecta is the key physical distinction between GRBs/XRFs and ordinary SNe, while the nature of the central engine (black hole or magnetar) may distinguish typical bursts from low-luminosity, spherical events like XRF 060218.Comment: To appear in Nature on August 31 2006 (15 pages, 3 figures, 1 table, including Supplementary Information
