Data Driven Decisions

Reading literacy is often understood as a basic skill, and it is gaining recognition as the most functional means to educational attainment and individual development. It not only sets a benchmark but also reveals students’ strengths and weaknesses through performance measurement. This paper attempts to investigate sixteen-year-olds’ reading literacy proficiency using a performance band system in reporting their ‘can’s and ‘cant’s in reading. It drew insights from the Text-Task Respondent Theory of Functional Literacy (White, 2011) and the Revised Bloom’s Taxonomy (Anderson Krathwohl, 2001), where pertinent concepts were drawn to address students’ functional abilities. The study involved a total of 813 sixteen-year-old students representing the northern, southern, central, and east coast regions of Peninsular Malaysia (Penang, Perak, Perlis, Selangor, Kedah, Kelantan, Terengganu, and Johor). A survey research method was employed to capture cognitive competencies that denoted students’ functional abilities when it came to reading literacy. The study measured the students’ reading literacy attainment based on a proficiency scale spanning on five-band levels. The findings of the present study revealed that the majority of the students attained Band 3, where they demonstrated a moderate understanding of texts and were able to integrate some part of texts to infer meaning. The study provides valuable insights to policymakers, educationists, employers in making data-driven decisions to improve educational outcomes. It also attempts to shed some light on the current pedagogical trends and provide suggestive practices in reading.

Abstract: Reading Literacy Program "Tunggu Aku" conducted at MI Diponegoro 03 Karangklesem can increase students' enthusiasm in studying and learning in the classroom. From the three activities there was a collaboration between the teacher and guardians of the students to make this program successful. There are three activities in this literacy program that are reading activities, and pre-reading activities carried out with parents at home, as well as post-reading activities that will be carried out with the teacher at the school. Of the three activities above, the teacher uses post-reading activities to maximize this reading literacy program, which is to increase students' enthusiasm in studying and learning in the classroom. Post-reading activities conducted by teachers and students include: (1) developing imaginative thinking skills through storytelling; (2) developing students' thinking skills by playing word concept maps; and (3) developing children's thinking skills through playing letter patterns in words.   Keyword: Antusiasme Siswa, Kegiatan Belajar, Pembelajaran, Dan Literasi Membaca

This paper aims to explain the impact of implementing student learning at home in preventing the COVID-19 pandemic on school management, learning activities, reading literacy, and parental participation. The paper is the result of a short study by distributing questionnaires to junior high school students in various regions. From the distribution of the questionnaire obtained 558 students. The analysis technique uses Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) processed through the Lisrel 8.70 program. The implementation of student learning at home has a positive impact on school management, learning activities, reading literacy and parental participation in their children. However, student learning at home still faces several obstacles, both in terms of students and schools and teachers. Students who still rely on teachers as a source of face-to-face teaching said that studying at school is better than at home, absorbing teaching materials more easily and overcoming learning difficulties. In the case of schools and teachers, there are still many who are not ready to provide learning at home, let alone many who do not have digital technology. To carry out student learning at home still requires optimal stakeholder roles. One of them is the government, it is recommended to provide adequate laptops and internet access in schools that can be used by teachers and students in learning.   Received: 2 September 2020 / Accepted: 22 December 2020 / Published: 5 March 2021

Abstract Objective To describe COVID-19 related symptoms and medical care experienced in the first six months of the pandemic as well as stay-at-home order adherence, and attitudes related to COVID-19 risk and social distancing among a diverse sample of adults in the Deep South. Methods Survey data were collected from 411 Louisiana and Mississippi residents for three weeks in June 2020 through social media. Results Over half (52.5%) of participants who experienced COVID-19 related symptoms (with 41.5% experiencing at least one symptom) did not feel the severity of symptoms warranted seeking medical care. 91.6% of the Deep South adults visited certain places or did activities where visiting or gathering with other people was involved during stay-at-home mandates. Religiosity/spirituality, age, education, number of children in the home, attitudes related to COVID-19 risk of complications and social distancing were related to the greater/lesser likelihood of stay-at-home order adherence. Conclusions Various cultural and contextual factors were related to stay-at-home order adherence. Understanding how social values, life stage, socioeconomic, and geographic factors influence stay-at-home order adherence would lead to more effective policy design to improve population adherence.
