Due to the current massive pandemic situation, global educational systems have, by necessity, shifted from in-person to virtual learning. As a result, this newfangled educational paradigm has changed the conception of teaching and learning from a rigid process to a novel environment where new rules and objectives are set. In the present context, this research paper is intended to discuss the contemporary educational prototype as an alternative to traditional face-to-face instruction in order to accomplish quality learning and rescue the academic year from a doomed failure. In this regard, this study relies on a quantitative and qualitative research analysis, based on questionnaires designated to teachers and students of the National School of Applied Sciences of Tétouan (ENSATE) at Abdelmalek Essaâdi University to reflect upon their experiences, insights, and perceptions of distance education with respect to teaching materials, content, and syllabus delivery. The aim, therefore, is to disclose the variant challenges that are being encountered by the aforementioned students and teachers, including their attitudes toward e-learning course content and pedagogy. It is equally important to pinpoint the different possible strategies and policies that ought to be adopted by education policy makers to perfectly meet the novice learning/teaching needs and aspirations.

To address the challenge of identifying an effective English language teaching pedagogy, this study explored the Grade 10 teachers (n=50) and students’ (n=2,221) beliefs of effective language teaching methods and the teachers’ classroom practices. It further investigated the convergence and divergence of the teachers’ and students’ beliefs and the teachers’ practices along with the pedagogic parameters of practicality and particularity. Using the descriptive quantitative design, the findings revealed the convergence of responses between (a) teachers’ and students’ beliefs of effective language methods, and (b) teachers’ beliefs and their practices. Analysis of responses also revealed the pedagogic parameters of practicality and particularity in the conduct of their English language classes. Teachers continually engage in the cycle of personal assessment to increase their autonomy in formulating enlightened choices responsive to the students’ needs. It is imperative that English teachers be engaged in programs that support their awareness of local exigencies to strengthen their belief systems on post-method pedagogy.

A comprehensive, formal comparison of resources used to learn computer software has yet to be researched. Understanding the relative strengths and weakness of resources would provide useful guidance to teachers and students. The purpose of the current study was to explore the effectiveness of seven key resources: human assistance, the manual, the keyboard, the screen, the software (other than main menu), the software main menu, and software help. Thirty-six adults (18 male, 18 female), representing three computer ability levels (beginner, intermediate, and advanced), volunteered to think out loud while they learned, for a period of 55 minutes, the rudimentary steps (moving the cursor, using a menu, entering data) required to use a spreadsheet software package (Lotus 1-2-3). The main menu, the screen, and the manual were the most effective resources used. Human assistance produced short term gains in learning but was not significantly related to overall task performance. Searching the keyboard was frequently done, but was relatively ineffective for improving learning. Software help was the least effective learning resource. Individual differences in using resources were observed with respect to ability level and gender. Résumé : L’objet de la présente étude consistait à évaluer un cours de perfectionnement professionnel en ligne pour les enseignants qualifiés dans le domaine des technologies de l’information et de la communication et à étudier les facteurs qui ont de l’influence sur le perfectionnement professionnel en ligne. L’étude a tenu compte de méthodes quantitatives et qualitatives, notamment un sondage, un groupe de discussion et une entrevue réalisée alors que le cours était donné et environ neuf mois après la fin du cours. Les données indiquent que la prestation en ligne du cours sur le perfectionnement professionnel sur les technologies de l’information et de la communication pour les enseignants qualifiés s’est avérée une réussite. Toutefois, il a été difficile d’initier une communauté d’apprentissage au milieu de l’apprentissage en ligne. Les enseignants participant ont éprouvé de grandes difficultés à mettre en pratique dans leur enseignement ce qu’ils avaient appris. L’étude suggère que les prochaines séances de perfectionnement professionnel en ligne sur les technologies de l’information et de la communication devront comprendre des séances en personne et devront être offertes à plus d’un enseignant par école. Le perfectionnement professionnel qui vise des changements devrait être considéré comme un processus continu et appuyé alors que l’école change.

Asumsi mendasar yang patut menjadi urgensi pengkajian itu adalah, bahwa sastra Bali Klasik sesungguhnya sebuah cermin diri dari masyarakat Bali itu sendiri (masuluh ring sastra=bercermin pada sastra/pengetahuan). Oleh karena itu, tentu sastra mengandung tata nilai yang adhi luhung (nora na mitra mangluwihana waraguna maruhur=tidak ada sahabat yang melebihi keagungan ilmu pengetahuan yang tinggi). Penelitian ini bermaksud untuk mengungkapkan nilai-nilai didaktik yang terkandung dalam kesusastraan Bali klasik dan relevansi nilai-nilai itu dalam mengembangkan pendidikan moral generasi muda saat ini.Pengkajian ranah ini belum banyak diteliti oleh putra daerah maupun peneliti luar daerah, akan tetapi penelitian kearah itu telah dilakukan oleh para pakar sastra Bali. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode sosiologi sastra dengan menerapkan teori reseptif, dengan langkah kajian sebagai berikut :Teknik pengumpulan datanya diawali dengan pengumpulan teks yang dijadikan sumber kajian yaitu : Geguritan Putra Sasana, Geguritan Basur, Cerita Tantri, dan Cerita Bhagawan Dhomya. Analsis datanya secara deskriptif kualitatifdengan bertumpu pada teks sumber sebagai bahan analisis.Analisis data ini diawali dengan kajian nilai-nilai didaktik yang terkandung dalam cerita klasik Bali dan relevansinya bagi pendidikan moralgenerasi muda saat ini.Hasil analisis ternyata banyak sekali terkandung nilai-nilai didaktik dalam keempat sumber naskah di atas, yang dapat ditransformasikan untuk sistem pendidikan dewasa ini, antara lain:konsep pendidikan seumur hidup, pendidikan akal, tanggung jawab guru dan murid, ini diteruskan kepada anak didik, yang sesungguhnya dapat dijadikan materi pengayaan pengetahuan kearifan lokal yang mampu memberikan rambu-rambu moralitas yang baik di kalangan generasi muda saat ini, yang lebih cenderung hanya menggunakan paradigma pendidikan Barat dibandingkan membangun kepribadian berdasarkan tata nilai yang telah diwariskan oleh nenek moyang dalam bentuk sastra-sastra klasik. Untuk itu perlu diadakan pembinaan oleh intansi terkait untuk lebih mengarahkan diri pada peranan ilmu humaniora dalam rangka meningkatkan kualitas manusia dengan cara pendidikan budi pekerti dengan menggali kearifan local sebagai keunggulan budaya di mana masyarakat itu hidup dan berkembang.Kata kunci: teks dedaktik, sastra Bali klasik, kearifan localABSTRACTThe classical literary review is necessary as a cultural approach in anticipating  the  degradation  of  the  values  of  today‟s  young  generation.  The fundamental assumption that should be urgency of the study is that the classical Balinese literature is actually a self-reflection of the Balinese society itself (masuluh ring sastra = reflecting on the literature/knowledge). Therefore, of course the literature contains worthy value (nora na mitra mangluwihana waraguna maruhur = no friend exceed the greatness of science). The study intends to reveal the didactic values contained in classical Balinese literature and the relevance of those values in developing the moral education of the young generation today.The study of this domain has not been widely studied by the local researcher and researchers outside the region, but research in that direction has been done by experts of Balinese literature. The present study used sociology method of literature by applying receptive theory, with the following study steps: Data collection techniques began by collecting the texts that were used as the sources of the study, such as: Geguritan Putra Sasana, Geguritan Basur, Tantri story, and Bhagawan Dhomya story. Data analysis used descriptive qualitative relied on source texts as the material of analysis. Data analysis began with the study of didactic values contained in Balinese classical story and the relevance to the moral education of young generation today.Analysis result shows that many didactic values contained in the four text sources above, which can be transformed to the education system today, namely: the concept of education for life, the intellectual education, the responsibilities of teachers and students, is passed on to the students, which can actually be the material of enrichment of knowledge of local wisdom that is able to give a good sign of good morality among young people today, who are more likely to only use Western educational paradigm than building a personality based on the values that have been inherited by the ancestors in the form of classical literatures. Therefore, it needs to be guided by the relevant institution to be more directed to the role of the humanities sciences in order to improve the quality of human by way of moral education by exploring local wisdom as a cultural excellence in which the community lives and thrives.Key words: Didactic Text, Balinese Classical Literature, Local Wisdom
