Yosi Intan Pandini Gunawan, Mujibur Rohman — Thu, 28 Dec 2023 00:00:00 +0700

The case of the Covid-19 pandemic led to a government policy to enforce online learning with distance learning and blended learning models. Lecturers are required to present learning innovations using these two models to continue to achieve maximum learning outcomes and student learning outcomes. It is through the implementation of distance learning that students can study anywhere. The blended learning model is innovative and collaborates offline/face-to-face lectures with online lectures. With the implementation of this online learning system, both distance learning and blended learning have differences in student learning outcomes. This study aims to determine the differences in student learning outcomes using distance learning and blended learning models regarding cognitive, affective, and psychomotor aspects. The research method used in this study is quantitative, with a research design using a comparative test to compare learning outcomes between two groups with different treatments. One group uses distance learning, and one group uses blended learning. The data analysis technique used to answer the hypothesis of this research is a statistic with different/comparative test, the t-test with statistical test Kolmogorov Test and Shapiro-Wilks Test to determine normality test and homogeneity test, and a nonparametric test using the Mann-Whitney test. The results showed no significant difference in cognitive, affective (activeness), and psychomotor learning achievement between students who learned to use the distance learning and blended learning models. Significant differences in learning achievement only occur in the affective aspect, particularly in student discipline in learning. Students who learn to use blended learning have better discipline than those who use distance learning.

Joko Susilo, Hasan Suryono — Thu, 28 Dec 2023 00:00:00 +0700

Innovation in the learning technology field to facilitate the activities of students and educators in the learning process is the task and responsibility of the Learning Technology Developer (Pengembang Teknologi Pembelajaran/PTP). This research aims to (1) describe and analyze the role of PTP as a facilitator in online learning during the Covid-19 pandemic and (2) describe PTP products in online learning during the Covid-19 pandemic. The research method used is descriptive qualitative. The research results show that PTPs, as facilitators, must be creative and innovative in developing learning models, media, and applications, collaborating with other professions, and increasing existing competencies related to cutting-edge technology and media. PTP must prove its performance through real work that can be realized through appropriate learning models, media, and applications. PTP has two main areas of study: soft technology and hard technology. The products produced by PTP can take the form of ICT-based learning models, learning media, and e-learning applications.

Pipit Muliyah, Desi Wijayanti Ma'rufah, Mustangin Mustangin — Thu, 28 Dec 2023 00:00:00 +0700

Reading comprehension is a fundamental skill in mastering English. Relying solely on classroom instruction is insufficient for providing students with a comprehensive understanding of English texts. As a result, students must actively cultivate their self-directed learning abilities. It enables them to prioritize and focus on the areas they need to improve. Unfortunately, developing independent learning skills can be challenging without encouragement from teachers and an understanding of what they are learning. Thankfully, technology, such as language learning applications, can help overcome this challenge. This study examines using the Quora language learning application to enhance students' reading comprehension skills in English outside the classroom. Using qualitative research, this study involved 18 economic sharia students taking English for Business subject, and data was collected through a questionnaire and interviews. The findings revealed that Quora helped students improve their reading comprehension skills and supported their independent learning by allowing them to study English anywhere and anytime.

Deviant acts in the use of ChatGPT: An analytical study of student behaviour

Wahyu Purwasih, Ahmad Sahnan — Thu, 28 Dec 2023 00:00:00 +0700

Technological progress is indeed a necessity. However, the sophistication of existing technology is unfortunately not accompanied by the maturity of its users, especially students. Use ChatGPT in every task. Thus causing a decrease in creativity and a lack of originality in the work. The research method used is qualitative descriptive. Data were collected using participatory observation techniques, in-depth interviews, documentation, and focus group discussions. The results showed that the negative impact of using ChatGPT is over-reliance, which causes students to be unable to think critically, lack problem-solving skills, have decreased social interaction, and are vulnerable to receiving information bias. The treatment for students who are already addicted to using ChatGPT includes recognizing the signs of addiction that arise, collaborating with professional experts such as psychologists or counselors, training students to think critically and independently, and providing alternative activities that encourage them to participate in social activities. This research still needs improvement. So it needs some further development. These are some suggestions from this study: Investigate the psychological impact of students using ChatGPT, Design an Academic Curriculum by Collaborating with AI, and Develop an evaluation system that combines authentic tasks and the use of ChatGPT.

The implementation of reciprocal teaching strategy in teaching critical reading

Fitri Ana Ika Dewi — Sun, 31 Dec 2023 00:00:00 +0700

Low students’ interest in learning and reading English text influence to their critical reading ability. Teaching strategy is one of the solutions to solve the problem. An appropriate teaching strategy can influence to students’ interest in learning and reading English text. This study aims at describing the effect of reciprocal teaching strategy in teaching Critical and Evaluative Reading at second grade students of UIN Raden Mas Said Surakarta in the academic year of 2022/2023. Reciprocal teaching strategy consists of four activities, namely predicting, questioning, clarifying, and summarizing. The subjects are two classes of the second-grade students of English Education Study Program that consist of 60 students. The study used descriptive qualitative approach. Data were derived from observation and semi-structure interviews to the lecturer and students. The findings showed that the sequence activities of reciprocal teaching strategy encourage them to be more active and critical during teaching learning process. The activities that were done through working in group and sharing each other ideas help them overcome their difficulty during reading and facilitate them to be independent readers.
