PROFILE OF MENTAL COMPUTATION OF ELEMENTARY PRE-SERVICE TEACHER ACCORDING TO REFLECTIVE-IMPULSIVE COGNITIVE STYLE

2017-03-28T06:30:19+00:00

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to describe mental computation ability of elementary pre-service teacher with reflective-impulsive cognitive style. Twentyeight juniors in Jember University participated in this study. All of the juniors were tested on Matching Familiar Figure Test (MFFT). Two juniors were chosen, based the test result, as subjects of the research. They were classified as a junior with reflective cognitive style and a junior with impulsive cognitive style. The subjects were tested in an oral mental computation test. The test contains 4 items for additions, subtractions, multiplications, and divisions in whole numbers. Findings were analyzed with qualitative methods. At the end of the research, a subject with impulsive cognitive style showed a better result than reflective cognitive style. When computation strategies were analyzed, it was found that a subject with reflective cognitive style used standard method that were heavily influenced by written algorithm and only had one strategy to answer the problem, meanwhile impulsive subject used non standard method without reformulation and gave alternate strategy to answer the problem. Despite of that, the alternate strategy used by impulsive subject were influenced by written algorithm.

This research employed the combination of the quantitative and qualitative approaches known as the mixed method. The qualitative data were results of interviews with economics teachers, economics instruction supervisors, students, school principals, and on-service-teacher trainers. The qualitative data were analyzed qualitatively through the steps of data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The research results showed the following conclusions. First, most teachers often employed information and communication technology in economics instruction. Second, the ICT adoption models which contain the innovation characteristics variable, the environment variable, the affect-towards-use variable, and the demographic variable worked well in explaining the diversity of the adoption in economics instruction. Third, the variables in the group of characteristics of innovation variable which had significant influence to the adoption of ICT were voluntariness, relative advantage, result demonstrability, and ease of use. Meanwhile, those which did not have significant influence were those of compatibility, image, trialability, and visibility. Fourth, all variables in the group of environment variable which consisted of social influence facilitating conditions had significant influence to the adoption of ICT in economics instruction. Fifth, the variable of affect toward use consisted of the feeling of liking and the feeling of interest had significant influence to the adoption of ICT in economics instruction. Sixth, the group of demographic variable was not good predictors in relation to the adoption of ICT in economics instruction. None of the five sub-variables in the demographic variable, which consisted of school status, age, gender, experience and duration in training participation, had any significant influence in the adoption of ICT in economics instruction.

SUPPORTING EDUCATORS TO FURTHER DEVELOPING STUDENTS’ WRITING THROUGH TALK FOR WRITING APPROACH

2017-03-28T06:30:20+00:00

Abstract
It is a must for educators to overcome several problems dealing with teaching writing. We have to consider the students of English as a Foreign Language (EFL). They are not as good as the native speakers in writing and are not as fluently as the native speaker in speaking. Thus, the educators must scaffold the learners. Moreover, educators must provide the material and prepare the classroom to make the learners absorb the material. This research attempt to find out how Talk for Writing approach can support educators in developing students’ writing in junior high school level. Teacher can come up with daily oral retelling, asking the learners to read the example, guiding them to make temporary writing, and finally, giving them opportunity to set up the permanent writing. The educator’s role is as the facilitator and motivator. By doing so, the learners will learn step by step and learn several skills as well.
Keywords: Talk for writing approach, teaching writing, and scaffold.
