Improving students’ grammar using dictogloss

This Classroom Action Research (CAR) study was intended to describe how the Dictogloss technique was implemented and how this technique can improve students’ grammar through collaborative writing. This paper also describes the students’ participation and their responses to the use of Dictogloss. This research was conducted in two cycles. Each cycle consisted of three meetings which were used for the planning of the action, implementing the action and observing and reflecting. The sample was the second grade high school students in class XI, IPA 4 at SMAN 1, Ingin Jaya, Aceh Besar. The data for this research consisted of the observation checklists, the tests, a questionnaire and field notes. The results from the research are based on the four objectives; first, the researcher was successful in implementing all the stages of the Dictogloss technique. Second, the students’ scores in the post-test were higher than in the pre-tests. On the first pre-test the students’ mean score was 11.2 which became 19.5 in the final post-test. So, there was a significant improvement in the students’ grammar competence after implementing the Dictogloss technique. Third, the students give good responses to learning grammar using the Dictogloss technique. All of them were engaged and participated actively in all stages of the Dictogloss technique. Moreover, the results from the questionnaire showed that 81% of the students were interested and had a positive attitude towards the use of the Dictogloss tehnique for learning grammar. The results showed the students were interested, motivated and enthusiastic in learning grammar using the Dictogloss technique

Use of English in Teaching Mathematics

This is a descriptive qualitative study designed with the aim of investigating the teacher’s use of EFL English in teaching Mathematics at Fatih Bilingual School in Banda Aceh in terms of opening, main, and closing activities. This study also investigated the obstacles encountered by the teacher in teaching Mathematics using EFL English and her efforts to overcome those obstacles. The subject of this study was a female Mathematics teacher who has been teaching tenth grade Mathematics. The research subject was chosen by using a purposive sampling technique. The data were collected through three periods of classroom observations and an in-depth interview with the teacher. The data collected was analyzed qualitatively. This study revealed that the processes of teaching Mathematics in Fatih Bilingual School involved translation. The use of English and Bahasa Indonesia were not equivalent when English became dominant. For the concepts of Mathematics, the teacher explained them in both languages. The main obstacle the teacher faced was difficulty with terminology which she had to deal with first and then had to make her students understand it too. The results also indicated that the teacher had made efforts to make the hard topics simpler so that the students could get the concepts when the teacher explained them using English. The solution for those problems was that the teacher used tools of mathematics, pictures, graphs and/or video. Code switching was also an alternative used to help the bilingual activities. In conclusion, the use of EFL English in teaching Mathematics can be done with bilingual classes. The portions of English and of the mother tongue used in the teaching activities may not be the same

IMPLEMENTATION OF A LEARNING MODEL WHICH IS HELPED BY COMICS BASED ON A REALISTIC MATHEMATICALAPPROACHMENT TO IMPROVE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL STUDENTS' PROBLEM SOLVING ABILITY

This research's purpose is to know the ability of problem solving in fifth grade students of SDN 010015 Sei Serindan, Sub-district Sei Kepayang Barat, Asahan regency with comics media teaching materials based on Realistic Mathematics Approachment Learning Year 2018/2019. The experimental design is based on the Pretest-Posttest control Group Design which involves two groups of students who are a group of experimenters who get learners assisted by comic media and a control group who get a tutorial with a conventional strategy.

IMPLEMENTATION OF WEB-BASED NAIVE BAYES ALGORITHM FOR DETERMINING DEPARTMENTS AT SMK 10 MUHAMMADIYAH KISARAN

Determination of majors is very important for the convenience of prospective students in the process and continuation of education so that they do not experience difficulties in the teaching and learning process in the future. SMK 10 Muhammadiyah Kisaran is one of the private vocational schools in Asahan that provides 3 majors including Audio Video Engineering (TAV), Computer and Network Engineering (TKJ), and Motorcycle Engineering and Business (TBSM). SMK 10 Muhammadiyah Kisaran does not yet have a special system for selecting majors so that prospective students are welcome to choose majors according to their own wishes, not a few students find it difficult because the students themselves do not understand their abilities.so that it’s not uncommon for students to choose majors in a random way or follow their friends' choices. Therefore we need a system that can help prospective students in selecting majors that match their interests and talents and reduce mistakes in choosing majors. The technique used for the classification data mining model in this study is the Naïve Bayes Algorithm. The dataset that will be used as training data and test data is data for new students for the 2021/2022 school year, to be precise, for class X SMK 10 Muhammadiyah Kisaran obtained from the results of documentation and questionnaires. The criteria used were school origin, gender, interests, major, influence of friends, parental suggestions, math scores, English grades, and science grades. The results of the classification modeling with the Naïve Bayes Algorithm produce an accuracy value of 89%

DISCOLORATION OF TOOTH ENAMEL DUE TO BETEL LEAF EXTRACT (Piper betle Linn): DISKOLORISASI EMAIL GIGI AKIBAT EKSTRAK DAUN SIRIH (Piper betle Linn)

The tooth enamel colour play an important role in esthetics. The discoloured teeth could be due to the using of boild Piper betle extract as a mouth wash. Up to now many people in Indonesia using the boiling Piper betle extract to manage oral diseases and to prevent tooth decay. The aim of this in vitro study are to know the effective concentration and application time of this agent to change the enamel colour. Fresh Piper betle leaves were processed to get 4 differents concentration (50, 33, 25, and 5%). Aquabidest was used as negative control. Every concentration was studyed using 2 maxillae premolar teeth in 24, 48, and 72 hours application times. 30 good condition teeth were used in this research.    The results showed that every concentration gaves discoloured changes. The optimal concentration and duration are 25% and 48 hours. It is concluded that using of this gargling agent must be intermittent. It can be suggested to use this agent only once or twice daily, each for 2 until 3 minutes gargling
