Pronunciation involves far more than individual sounds. Word stress, sentence stress, intonation, and word linking all influence the sound of spoken English, not to mention the way we often slur words and phrases together in casual speech. English pronunciation involves too many complexities for learners to strive for a complete elimination of accent, but improving pronunciation will boost self-esteem, facilitate communication, and possibly lead to a better job or least much respect in the workplace. This research aimed at investigating the effect of Intuitive-Imitative Approach in teaching pronunciation. The participants of this research were the second-year students of Indonesia Vocational High School in amount of 40 students. This research applied pre-experimental method. The instruments of this research were pre-test and post-test in oral test. The result of this research finally showed that the students’ pronunciation of post-test score was higher than the students’ pre-test score. Meanwhile, the result of t­-test showed that the difference was significant where value of the t-test was greater than the value of the t-table (20.17 ≥ 2.069). Thus, it can be concluded that the use of Intuitive-Imitative Approach is effective to use in teaching pronunciation. So that, by applying this method in learning pronunciation, the teacher are hoped to be more creative to enrich their selected word by choosing the unique words to stimulate students and present them an enjoyable, relax, and understandable way in learning process.

Based on the mandate of Law Number 23 Year 2014 on Local Government, the management and authority of high school (SMA) and vocational high school (SMK) in the district/city governments are taken over by the provincial governments. The handover began in March 2016, and must be completed in early 2017. BPK’s audit found a difference of asset value of about Rp26 billion during the handover process. This study aims to determine the process of asset transfer carried out by the district/city governments to the provincial government, problems and constraints faced as well as the accounting treatment of the transferred assets. This study uses a qualitative descriptive method with empirical data which are collected through observation, interviews and documentation. The asset transfer procedure start from the recording process of assets owned by the district/city education office. The asset record data is subsequently submitted by the district/city education office to the district/city regional financial and asset management agency (BPKAD). Furthermore, without prior confirmation and physical checking, these records were used as a basis for calculating the amount of assets to be handed over to the provincial BPKAD in October 2016.Total assets transferred was Rp1,738,599,434,341.84, and the difference in value found by the BPK was due to incomplete reporting of grants to SMA/SMK that was allocated from the APBN. Problems that are quite complicated are in school’s land ownership, inadequate quantity and quality of human resources, multiple asset recording, lack of complete reporting, and various other administrative and accounting problems.AbtrakBerdasarkan amanat Undang-Undang Nomor 23 Tahun 2014 tentang Pemerintahan Daerah, pengelolaan dan kewenangan pendidikan Sekolah Menengah Atas (SMA) dan Sekolah Menengah Kejuruan (SMK) di pemerintah kabupaten/kota, diambil alih oleh pemerintah provinsi. Serah terima ini mulai dilaksanakan pada bulan Maret 2016, dan harus tuntas pada awal tahun 2017. Hasil audit BPK menemukan adanya selisih nilai aset sebesar Rp26 miliar dalam proses serah terima aset ini. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui proses pengalihan aset yang dilakukan oleh pemerintah kabupaten/kota dan provinsi, permasalahan dan kendala yang dihadapi serta perlakuan akuntansi terhadap aset yang dialihkan tersebut. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode deskriptif kualitatif dengan menggunakan data empiris yang dikumpulkan melalui observasi, wawancara dan dokumentasi. Proses ini dimulai dari data catatan aset yang dimiliki oleh dindikbud kabupaten/kota. Data tersebut diserahkan oleh dindikbud kabupaten/kota kepada BPKAD kabupaten/kota. Selanjutnya tanpa melakukan konfirmasi dan pengecekan fisik terlebih dahulu catatan tersebut dijadikan dasar untuk melakukan penghitungan jumlah aset yang akan diserahterimakan kepada pihak BPKAD provinsi pada bulan Oktober 2016. Nilai total aset yang dialihkan sebesar Rp1.738.599.434.341,84, selisih nilai yang ditemukan BPK disebabkan oleh tidak lengkapnya pelaporan hibah ke SMA/SMK yang bersumber dari APBN. Permasalahan yang cukup rumit terdapat pada kepemilikan tanah sekolah, kualitas dan kuantitas sumber daya manusia yang kurang memadai, pencatatan aset ganda, kurang lengkapnya pelaporan, serta berbagai permasalahan administratif dan akuntansi lainnya.

Background: This complete-enumeration, before-and-after type of study (without controls) was conducted on 61 third-year medical students at Rajiv Gandhi Medical College, Thane, Maharashtra state to study the difference in cognitive domain scores after attending lecture-based learning (by a pre-test) and after attending case-based learning (by a post-test).Methods: After approval from the institutional ethics committee, the purpose of the study was explained to third-year medical students and written informed consent was obtained. After curriculum-based lectures on integrated management of neonatal and childhood Illness, a pre-test was administered wherein each student was asked to fill up case sheets for five case scenarios. The maximum marks obtainable were 10 marks per case (total 50 marks).  Case-based learning was conducted in two sub-groups comprising 31 and 30 randomly assigned students by the same faculty and students in each sub-group were exposed to identical case scenarios. The post-test was conducted using case scenarios and case sheets that were identical to that of the pre-test.Results: The overall mean score increased and the difference between the case-wise pre-test and post-test scores of both female (n=35) and male (n=26) students was highly significant (p <0.00001). However, the gender differences in pre-test score (Z=1.038; p=0.299) and post-test score were not significant (Z=0.114; p=0.909).Conclusions: Using case scenarios augmented the cognitive domain scores of participating students and the gender differences in scores were not statistically significant. The post-test scores showed higher variability. Remedial educational interventions would be required for students who obtained low scores in the post-test.

The current study determines the effectiveness of using task-based language instructions in teaching writing at a high school in Thai Nguyen province. The participants consist of 92 grade 10 students from Bing Yen high school, Dinh Hoa district. The study employs a mix method research design (MMR) as the plan for the research. The results of the study reveals that the results of writing performance were reported at a low level (M=3.72). The results also confirmed that the intervention worked well for the experimental group. The mean score of the pre-test (the baseline for both groups) was M=3.72. The intervention focused on TBLT instructions. After first five weeks, the means of post-test1 were M=4.96 and M=3.83 for experimental group and control group respectively. There was a significant difference between the mean of pre-test and post-test1 for the experimental group (M=3.72 compared to M=4.96), while the control group showed a little improvement (M=3.72 compared to M=3.83) the difference was not significant. After another five weeks, the difference in the mean scores of the experimental group were far more than the mean scores of the control group, M=5.56 and M=4.45 respectively. By the end of the fifteenth week of the intervention, the mean of post-test 3 of the experimental group reached M=6.41, the mean for control group was M=5.54. The difference of the mean scores in the pre-test and post-test revealed a significant improvement in both groups. However, the experimental group showed a greater improvement, M=6.41 and M=5.54 respectively. It can infer that the uses of TBLT writing instruction improved writing achievement greatly.

Low mathematical representation skill causes the inability of vocational students solving problems creatively as demanded by industries. Researches showed that blended problem-based learning (BL-PBL) combining online and offline learning to train students to independently solve problems was proven to increase mathematical skills in education levels other than vocational school. Therefore, this research aimed to evaluate BL-PBL effect to mathematical representation skill escalation in vocational high school. Quantitative study with pre-test and post-test control group design was performed to two randomly-chosen classes over vocational schools in Kabupaten Bandung Barat, West Java, Indonesia. Samples were divided into two groups: experimental (BL-PBL method) and control (lecture method). Initial skill was determined by pre-test while learning outcome was determined using post-test. Data was analysed by t-test and two-way ANOVA with 0.05 significance level using IBM SPSS. Result showed the initial skill of two groups was similar. After treatment, N-gain data uncovered a significant increase of representative skill in experimental group. While, two-way ANOVA test showed no interaction between learning model used and student grouping based on initial skill to representation skill. Finally, BL-PBL was proven to increase mathematical representation skill in vocational students and, hence, is suggested to be implemented in vocational high school
