Story Writing

This work presents a pedagogical exploration of Junior high school teachers in drawing an integration between creative writing and chemistry concepts in understanding the behavior of chemical elements as means of addressing the competencies of the Science and English learning areas in an online instructional delivery. Titled A SHORT CHEMISTORY, this paper explores the expected skills, challenges, and opportunities in the possibility of integrating the two disciplines as an innovative way of developing engagement and comprehension among learners in a remote platform.  Results uncovered that the said interdisciplinary performance task was pedagogically possible despite the challenges encountered by the facilitators and the learners. Adequate foundational knowledge of the lesson and skills associated with the expected output for both teachers and students, and the need for purposeful interaction and collaboration, are identified as the essential skills expected to attain the objectives of the integration.  Teachers found it challenging to see the seamless integration of the chemical element’s characteristics in the characters of the story through lack of depth of personification and time constraint.  The integrated task paved the way for several opportunities for both teachers and students in terms of creativity, collaboration, and sense of fulfillment.

FENOMENA BULLYING (PERISAKAN) DI LINGKUNGAN SEKOLAHAbstrakPenelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui kecenderungan perilaku perisakan di kalangan siswa SMP, persepsi guru, dan siswa terhadap perilaku perisakan dan motif yang melatarbelakangi perilaku perisakan. Penelitian ini menggunakan instrumen kuesioner dan wawancara dengan jumlah sampel sebanyak 264 siswa dan 4 guru dari dua sekolah menengah pertama di Kota Palu. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pertama, secara umum siswa laki-laki lebih dominan terlibat dalam perisakan dibanding siswa perempuan. Kedua, untuk perisakan dalam bentuk verbal, seperti mengejek dan memanggil nama samaran, siswa perempuan lebih mendominasi dibandingkan dengan siswa laki-laki. Ketiga, perilaku perisakan di kalangan siswa dilatarbelakangi oleh dua motif yaitu pertama, perilaku ini hanya dilakukan dalam rangka candaan dan tidak bemaksud menyakiti korban. Kedua, siswa menunjukkan perilaku perisakan karena merasa lebih senior dan memiliki kekuatan dibanding dengan korban. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian ini, secara umum bentuk perisakan yang terjadi di lingkungan sekolah menengah di Kota Palu belum sampai pada tahap yang membahayakan korban dan tidak memiliki efek negatif terhadap prestasi akademik dan kenyamanan siswa dalam belajar.Kata kunci: perilaku perisakan, kenyamanan siswa, prestasi akademikAbstractThis study was aimed at finding out the prevalence of bullying among students at the junior high school, teachers and students’ perceptions towards bullying behaviors, and motives underlying bullying behaviors. The study used questionnaires and interviews to gather data from 264 students and 4 teachers in two secondary schools in Palu. The results indicate that: first, in general, boys were significantly more involved in bullying than girls. Second, girls seemed more often to take part in verbal bullying (e.g. calling names or teasing) than did boys. Third, the motives underlying the behaviors were: first, students who perform bullying behavior consider themselves as doing it for fun and second, students who perform bullying behavior seek for recognition as being seniors and being stronger than their victims. No serious problems were found in relation to students’ academic achievement and students’ well-being. Keywords: bullying behavior, students’ well-being, academic achievement

The Impact

AbstractThe impact of an Education for Sustainability (EfS) course for science and technology junior high school teachers on the intentional and actual environmental behaviour of participants was studied by researching the EfS implementation of 13 science and technology teachers within their family, community, and work environment. The research was qualitative in nature, where science and technology teachers’ insights on the EfS course were determined by means of an open-ended questionnaire and intensive interviews. Results indicated that the course clearly influenced the vast majority of the participants, who claimed that their environmental awareness had increased and they were capable of acting responsibly. All participants acted in favour of the environment among family, community, and at work. Yet, 2 years later, implementation seemed to be undermined by various internal and external barriers, such as the unavailability of convenient resources, or resistance on the part of family. The study suggests that course designers must include reference to potential difficulties and barriers in order to circumvent future obstacles. In addition, the implementation of post-course support would encourage overcoming the gap between willingness to act and actual practice.

instruction is implemented by elementary and junior high school teachers; (b)examine the frequency with which the components of self-determination are taught; and (c)investigate whether teachers’ gender, class setting, and teaching experience affect their classroom practices regarding the promotion of self-determination. The participants were 1,039 teachers recruited from elementary and junior high schools nationwide in Taiwan using a random sampling method. The Teaching Self-Determination Scale (TSDS) was used to gauge the extent to which educators teach knowledge and skills related to self-determination. Descriptive statistics, analyses of variance (ANOVAs) and multivariate analyses of variance (MANOVAs) were employed to analyze data collected. Findings showed that more than half of the teachers surveyed reported having often or always provided instruction to promote students’ self-determination. The most frequently taught skills are related to Psychological Empowerment (self-advocacy skills, expecting positive outcomes), while the least frequently taught skills were primarily located in the domain of Self-Regulation (goal setting and problem solving skills). Furthermore, our findings showed that teachers’ gender, class setting, and teaching experience were factors attecting the extent to which teachers delivered instruction to promote self-determination. Female teachers exhibited higher levels of implementation with respect to self-determination instruction. Teachers in general education classrooms showed significantly higher levels of applied self-determination instruction, followed by resource room teachers and self-contained classroom teachers. Additionally, teachers with more teaching experiences more frequently employed instructional activities promoting self-determination. Suggestions and implications are provided.
