AbstractWe present an active learning architecture that allows a robot to actively learn which data collection strategy is most efficient for acquiring motor skills to achieve multiple outcomes, and generalise over its experience to achieve new outcomes. The robot explores its environment both via interactive learning and goal-babbling. It learns at the same time when, who and what to actively imitate from several available teachers, and learns when not to use social guidance but use active goal-oriented self-exploration. This is formalised in the framework of life-long strategic learning.The proposed architecture, called Socially Guided Intrinsic Motivation with Active Choice of Teacher and Strategy (SGIM-ACTS), relies on hierarchical active decisions of what and how to learn driven by empirical evaluation of learning progress for each learning strategy. We illustrate with an experiment where a simulated robot learns to control its arm for realising two kinds of different outcomes. It has to choose actively and hierarchically at each learning episode: 1) what to learn: which outcome is most interesting to select as a goal to focus on for goal-directed exploration; 2) how to learn: which data collection strategy to use among self-exploration, mimicry and emulation; 3) once he has decided when and what to imitate by choosing mimicry or emulation, then he has to choose who to imitate, from a set of different teachers. We show that SGIM-ACTS learns significantly more efficiently than using single learning strategies, and coherently selects the best strategy with respect to the chosen outcome, taking advantage of the available teachers (with different levels of skills).

Language learning strategy (LLS) research has been on the decline since the mid-1990s, when there was a boom in strategy research. This decline is, in part, due to growing criticisms of categorizations of learning strategies (Dörnyei, 2005), the data collection instruments used (Dörnyei, 2005; Woodrow, 2005), and contradictory and questionable results (Hadwin & Winne, 1996). In more recent years some research has been conducted under the umbrella of terms such as strategic learning and self-regulation, which aim to distance themselves from the past problems of LLS research. This article uses a recent study of strategic learning to illustrate how strategy research can be conducted in the current academic environment. The study shows that research frameworks need to be context-specific rather than generalized across languages and learning tasks. The study also illustrates the usefulness of qualitative data collection instruments over previously and widely applied questionnaires.

This study is based on the existence of learning activities that are less responsive to various individual characteristics. To meet these demands, teachers need to understand students' characteristic. If the teacher in delivering the lesson material less attention to the characteristics of the students and the personality traits of students is not used as a foothold in learning, students will have difficulty understanding the subject matter. Whatever efforts are chosen and performed by the teacher and the lesson designer if they are not based on individual characteristics of the student as subject of learning, then the developed learning will not be meaningful for the students. Characteristics of students is very important to know by educators, because it is very important to be a reference in formulating learning strategies. Learning strategy is developed by teachers and implemented through learning methods to the students so that the learning objectives can be achieved effectively and efficiently. This research uses qualitative descriptive approach and data collection techniques used are interview, observation, and documentation in SDN Cikokol 2.

AbstractOne of the lecturers in the Department of Arabic at IAIN Palangka Raya teaches the reading using newest way and innovation compared to the previous ones. The innovation contains a variety of learning materials, learning strategies and learning evaluation.From this phenomenon, the researcher concluded that in reading skill teaching as done by one of the lecturers at IAIN Palangka Raya, there are some indicators of learning that are based on Vigotsky’s social constructivism theory in which it focuses on the roles of the students and social interaction in learning between the lecturers and the students or interaction among students.The aim of this research is to describe reading skill learning performed by the third semester students of IAIN Palangka Raya in 2016-2017 Academic Year. By looking the phenomena in the field in the perspective of processes, activities and interactions during teaching and learning process.This study is classified as descriptive qualitative research using case study design at IAIN Palangka Raya in 2016-2017.Techniques of data collecton in this research include interview, observation and documentation. The data  should be examined by using triangulation.The results of the study can be explained as follows: First, the goal of the teaching reading skill to the third semester students of  IAIN Palangka Raya 2016-2017 in the perspectivesof Vygotsky’ social constructivism theory; it can be seen from lecturer’s explanations towards reading skill focusing on discussion together with her students. Discussion is a kind social interactions between the lecturer and her students and social interactions among students. Second, learning materials of learning of reading skill in the view of of Vygotsky’ social constructivism theory, can be seen also from lecturer’s explanation which are relevant to students’ everyday life and their experiences around them. The materials to be used are based on the consideration of the purpose, prior knowledge, time and available place, and the numbers of students who follow the lesson. Third, the strategy of learning in the view of Vygotsky’s social constructivism theory,  can be seen from the strategy used by the lecturer such as; cooperative learning strategy, top down processing strategy and discovery learning strategy. These three strategies stress on the roles and the activeness of students in the learning-activities. Fourth, the evaluation of learning of reading skill in the view of Vygotsky’s social constructivism theory can be seen from the learning evaluation of reading skill as applied by the lecturer. The evaluation not only tests and examines one aspect of the skill, but also covers all aspects of the shill at once.
