<p>This study focused on the implementation of using authentic materials in improving the students’ speaking competence in a bilingual boarding of high school in Central Java. The goals of this study are, (1) to describe whether the use authentic materials can improve the students’ speaking competence in class, (2) to reveal the difficulties of using authentic materials in this research. I adopted Classroom Action Research (CAR) which requires four steps, namely planning, implementing, observing, and reflecting. The participants are 26 high school students. The methods of data collection are observation, diary, interview, photograph, pre-test, and post-test. In analyzing data I used (1) constant comparative technique by Burns (1999) (qualitative), (2) descriptive statistic technique (quantitative). After analyzing the data, I found out that the change in improvement of the students’ speaking in class is seen clearly and all the responses from the students are positive.

This research was motivated by the ability of grade VIII students of junior high school in learning English was still low especially in speaking skill. This study aims to improve English speaking skill of grade VIII students of junior high school by using Modeled Talk. The method used to collect data was the method of test and observation. the instruments used in data collection were test, observation sheet and questionnaire. The results of this study indicated that there was an improvement in students’ speaking skill, in which on the first cycle of this study the average score of the students’ speaking skill was 2.75 with the percentage of 64.2% and on the second cycle the average score of students’ speaking skill was 3.00 with percentage of 70.0% and the category is good. In cycle 1, the percentage of pronunciation was 65.8%, 65.8% for grammar, 68.3% for vocabulary, 60.0% for fluency and 60.8% for comprehension. Furthermore in cycle 2, there was an increase in each aspect such as: pronunciation of 70.8%, grammar of 72.5%, vocabulary of 69.2%, fluency of 67.5% and 70.0% for comprehension aspect. This study continues into cycle 2 because completeness classical of cycle 1 only 64.3% of students who were able the get the value equal to or more than 67 as the minimum criterion value.

This research aims to improve senior high school students’ physics problem-solving skills through learning used IBMR learning model. This research was a pre-an experimental study with a one-group pre-test and post-test design. The Methods of data collection used validation and test. The materials used to teach were valid category by two experts and can be used to practice physics problem-solving skills. The average post-test score physics problem-solving ability was 73.24 with an N-gain of 0.59 was classified as moderate. The success of IBMR learning model-based devices in practicing problem-solving abilities can be seen in the increase in the average score in each indicator of problem-solving abilities. The indicator of understanding the problem had the highest post-test average score of 94.58 with an N-gain of 0.89 in the high category.

Smartphone Use

Smartphone are tools that help life, even become daily needs for adolescents in Vocational High School (Sekolah Menengah Kejuruan or SMK) who live in urban areas. Unfortunately, not a few teenagers experience problems due to excessive smartphone use. These can include physical problems such as problems with the eyes, movement, and body position; as well as psychological problems such as unharmonious relationships with the people around them, or feeling dependent on devices. There are not many studies that describe the behavior and regulation of smartphone use in adolescents, especially vocational high school students in Indonesia. This study aims to obtain a description of the behavior of smartphone use among vocational high school students, as well as the settings up of regulations by the home and school environment. Participants are 1.921 high school students in 5 cities in 5 provinces in Indonesia (West Kalimantan, Yogyakarta Special Region (DIY), Bangka Belitung Islands, North Sulawesi, and Central Java). Data collection was carried out through a survey with a questionnaire specially designed by the researcher. Data collection was carried out before the COVID-19 Pandemic occurred. The results showed that in the period before the COVID-19 Pandemic, most students used smartphones for about 4-8 hours per day, for communication purposes. In addition, parents and schools make regulations regarding the use of smartphones. The results of this study can provide an overview, as well as a comparison for the description of the behavior of device use after the outbreak of the COVID-19 outbreak. Telepon Genggam Cerdas (TGC) merupakan alat yang membantu kehidupan, bahkan menjadi kebutuhan sehari-hari bagi remaja di Sekolah Menengah Kejuruan (SMK) yang tinggal di daerah perkotaan. Sayangnya, tidak sedikit remaja yang mengalami masalah akibat penggunaan TGC yang berlebihan. Masalah itu dapat berupa masalah fisik seperti masalah pada mata, pergerakan, dan posisi tubuh; maupun masalah psikologis seperti hubungan yang kurang harmonis dengan orang-orang disekitarnya, atau merasakan ketergantungan terhadap gawai. Belum banyak studi yang menggambarkan perilaku dan pengaturan penggunaan TGC pada remaja khususnya siswa SMK. Penelitian ini bertujuan mendapatkan gambaran perilaku penggunaan gawai pada siswa SMK, serta pengaturan yang ditetapkan oleh lingkungan rumah dan sekolah. Partisipan adalah 1921 siswa SMK di 5 kota yang ada di 5 provinsi di Indonesia (Kalimantan Barat, Daerah Istimewa Yogyakarta (DIY), Kepulauan Bangka Belitung, Sulawesi Utara, dan Jawa Tengah). Pengumpulan data dilaksanakan melalui survei dengan kuesioner yang dirancang khusus oleh peneliti. Pengambilan data dilaksanakan sebelum terjadinya Pandemi COVID-19. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pada masa sebelum Pandemi COVID-19, kebanyakan siswa menggunakan TGC selama sekitar 4-8 jam per-hari, untuk keperluan berkomunikasi. Selain itu, orang tua dan sekolah membuat aturan mengenai penggunaan TGC. Hasil penelitian ini dapat memberikan gambaran, sekaligus pembanding bagi gambaran perilaku penggunaan gawai sesudah merebaknya wabah COVID-19.
