Literacy is not a matter of talking and discussing the improvement of reading and writing skills, yet more than that, it is extending as a kind of social practice which involving people’s mundane life to generate specific and unique products of each person. Luckily, literacy can be a put in other subjects; literature and education. In this paper, the notion of third space in literacy is applied as the tool to analyze the role of a cave in Tom Schulman’s play Dead Poets Society, which then influencing a group of Welton Academy students’ awareness of their personal identities, their own cognition and their knowledge needed. To examine the students' movements in connecting three spaces; home, school, and cave, the researcher uses the Knowledge and Cognitive Process dimension, which is retrieved from Bloom’s taxonomy revision as proposed by Krathwohl (2002). The result confirms that the role of a cave, as third space, assists much the students to seek their own voices and identities, and definitely rises their confidence, creativities, and innovations for better transformation. Keywords: Third space, Literacy, Literature, Teaching

This article focuses on the relationship between literacy methods applied at school and the emergence of serious difficulties in mastering reading and writing skills that shape the developmental dyslexia. The problem was analyzed theoretically and subjected to empirical verification. Experimental work was presented which aims to study the phonological and global reading skills of 4- th grade students with and without dyslexia. Better global reading skills have been demonstrated in all tested children, and this is much more pronounced in those with dyslexia than their peers without disorders. Hence, the need to develop a special, corrective methodology for literacy of students with developmental dyslexia consistent with their psychopathological characteristics.

Abstrak: Ilmu kimia sebagai ilmu yang berdasarkan pada  penelitian (induktif), yang seharusnya mampu menyajikan soal yang menantang dan tersebar dalam enam level kognitif, hanya saja kondisi sebenarnya soal-soal kimia masih dibuat tradisional dengan berada pada level kognitif rendah. Soal olimpiade sebagai ajang kompetisi nasional siswa-siswa berprestasi di Indonesia pun belum diketahui level kognitif yang terkandung di dalamnya. Maka tujuan penelitian ini yakni, mendeskripsikan komposisi penyebaran soal terhadap tabel Taksonomi Bloom revisi, mendeskripsikan perbandingan soal OSN dan IChO (International Chemistry Olympiad) pada materi yang sama, dan  memetakan soal-soal tersebut terhadap standar kompetensi dan kompetensi dasar SMA/MA. Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa pada tahun 2012 tersebar pada prosedural-mengaplikasikan dan konseptual-memahami. Pada tahun 2013 tersebar pada dimensi prosedural-mengaplikasikan dan faktual-memahami. Berdasarkan konten materi dalam satu soal IChO  menuntut siswa dapat menemukan keterkaitan suatu materi dengan materi lainnya guna menyelesaikan soal tersebut sedangkan OSN tidak, tetapi keduanya  memiliki dimensi pengetahuan dan dimensi proses kognitif yang tidak terlalu berbeda yakni pada lingkup prosedural-mengaplikasikan dan prosedural-menganalisis. Hasil pemetaan terhadap SK-KD SMA/MA menunjukkan sebesar setengah dari jumlah ksesluruhan soal dapat dipetakan. Adanya analisis ini diharapkan menjadi masukan bagi guru untuk memberikan penguatan konsep kimia pada pembelajaran, agar siswa mampu mengerjakan berbagai macam soal, salah satunya soal OSN. Penelitian ini masih terbatas pada tahun 2012 dan 2013, sehingga dapat dikembangkan analisis untuk tahun-tahun lainnya. Kata-kata Kunci : Analisis, Taksonomi Bloom revisi, Dimensi Pengetahuan, Dimensi Proses Kognitif Abstract: Chemistry as a science that is based on research (inductive), which is supposed to be able to present a challenging problem and scattered in six cognitive levels, it's just that the actual conditions of chemical problems are still made traditionally with low cognitive level. Olympics as a matter of national competition top students in Indonesia is not yet known cognitive level contained therein. So the purpose of this study, describing the composition of matter of the spread of the revised Bloom's Taxonomy tables, describing the comparison about OSN and IChO (International Chemistry Olympiad) on the same material, and to map these problems to the standards of competence and basic competences SMA/MA. The analysis showed that in 2012 spread over-apply procedural and conceptual understanding. In 2013 spread to the dimension-apply procedural and factual-understand. Based on the content of the material in a matter of IChO requires students to be able to find a material relationship with the other materials in order to resolve these problems while OSN does not, but both have dimensions of knowledge and cognitive process dimensions are not too different from that in the scope of procedural-procedural-applying and analyzing. The results of the mapping of the SK-KD SMA / MA shows only half the number of ksesluruhan matter can be mapped. The existence of this analysis are expected to be the input for the teacher to provide reinforcement in learning chemistry concepts, so that students are able to do a variety of problems, one of which is a matter of OSN. This study was limited in 2012 and 2013, so that the analysis can be developed for other years. Key Words: Analysis, revised Bloom's Taxonomy, Knowledge Dimension, The Cognitive Process Dimension

The main purpose of the study was to evaluate the role of English teachers in developing reading and writing skills at the elementary level. The study was descriptive, and the survey method was used for the collection of data. All the elementary English teachers of District Kotli were the population of the study. The researcher selected 256 teachers through a simple random sampling technique. A questionnaire-based on a five-point Likert scale was developed to collect the data from the elementary school teachers. The reliability of the instrument was measured, and it was found 0.790. The researcher applied mean and standard deviation for analyzing the data. It was found that the elementary teachers did not encourage students to use simple past tense for describing pasts events. It is recommended that for the development of language skills, teachers can use different forms of text vocabulary proficiency through classroom reading, and different forms of genres and texts. Moreover, teachers may provide different picture books and other visual and instructional material in other to encourage writing skills in elementary schools.

This article provides an introduction to what it means to adopt a view of literacy as social practice for science education. This view of literacy builds on the idea that reading and writing are best regarded as situated social practices involving text, not as a set of decontextualised and universally applicable skills. First, we draw on sociocultural perspectives on literacy to show how these perspectives inform our understanding of literacy when the context is science. Second, we use related research literature, mainly concerning the role of text in science education, to present a framework for approaching literacy in science classrooms from a sociocultural perspective. Finally, we discuss how a social view of literacy enables us to consider how literacy occurs in contexts relevant to a transcending science subject for scientific literacy.
