Audio Media

Media audio Gelaria (Gerak Lagu Anak Ceria) telah diterapkan di dalam pembelajaran pada TK Laboratori Pedagogia Yogyakarta. Namun, masalahnya adalah bahwa sampai sejauh ini, belum pernah dilakukan evaluasi keterlaksanaan pemanfaatannya sehingga tidak dapat diketahui tingkat keberhasilannya. Studi ini merupakan studi kasus di TK Laboratori Pedagogia Yogyakarta. Tujuan evaluasi yang dibahas di dalam tulisan ini adalah untuk mengetahui bagaimana tingkat keberhasilan penerapan media audio Gelaria dalam meningkatkan fisik motorik anak-anak TK Laboratori Pedagogi Yogyakarta. Metode yang digunakan adalah evaluasi program model Kirkpatrick dengan analisis deskriptif kualitatif. Hasil evaluasi mengungkapkan bahwa: 1) reaksi peserta didik  menunjukkan keterlaksanaan pembelajaran melalui pemanfaatan media audio Gelaria berada pada kriteria sangat berhasil (83%); 2) proses belajar peserta didik melalui pemanfaatan media audio Gelaria menunjukkan keterlaksanaan pembelajaran pada kriteria sangat berhasil (76%); 3) perilaku peserta didik menunjukkan keterlaksanaan pembelajaran dengan media audio Gelaria pada kriteria berhasil (50%); 4) dampak pemanfaatan media audio Gelaria pada peserta didik menunjukkan keterlaksanaan belajar mereka pada kriteria berhasil (70%), yang dapat diketahui melalui berbagai kejuaraan lomba yang diikuti berkaitan dengan kegiatan fisik motorik; dan 5) penerapan pemanfaatan media audio Gelaria, baik dari sisi SDM pendidik, sarana prasarana, maupun dana yang tersedia secara umum tidak mengalami kendala. Sebagai simpulan, dapat dikemukakan bahwa media audio Gelaria dapat dimanfaatkan di Taman Kanak-Kanak lainnya yang kondisinya tidak jauh berbeda (sekolah imbas). Namun, disarankan agar lembaga pengembang media audio Gelaria memberikan bimbingan teknis penerapan pemanfaatan media audio Gelaria kepada para pendidik dan sekaligus juga mengkaji ulang sintak penerapan pemanfaatan media audio Gelaria. The audio media of Gelaria (Gerak Lagu Anak Ceria or Cheerful Children's Song and Movement) has been implemented in the learning process at the Pedagogia Laboratory Kindergarten, Yogyakarta. However, until now, there has never been any evaluation on its implementation, so that the success degree cannot be identified. This is a case study in Pedagogia Laboratory Kindergarten, Yogyakarta. The objective study is to determine the success degree of the Gelaria audio media implementation in improving the students’ motoric physic at Laboratori Pedagogia Kindergarten, Yogyakarta. The method applied is the Kirkpatrick program evaluation model with qualitative descriptive analysis. The result shows that: 1) The students’ reaction indicates that learning feasibility by using Gelaria audio media is the category of highly successful (83%); 2) The students’ learning process by using Gelaria audio media indicates that the learning feasibility is also in the category of highly successful (76%); 3) Students’ behavior indicates that the learning feasibility by using Gelaria audio media is in the category of successful (50%); 4) The impact of Gelaria audio media implementation on the students indicates that the learning feasibility is in the category of successful (70%), which can be identified from various motoric-physical championships they have attended; and 5) In terms of Human Resources, infrastructures, as well as finance, the implementation of Gelaria audio media has no constraints. It can be summarized that Gelaria audio media can be implemented other Kindergardens that have relatively-common condition (induced schools). However, it is recommended that the institution developing Gelaria audio media should provide technical assistances to teachers on how to implement it, and also continuously review its implmentation syntax.

The effectiveness of the learning process in the virtual reality (VR) environment and the presence and immersion components of the VR environment are among the most important variables for students to feel as if they are part of the 3D environment and function in the environment. The objective of this chapter is to determine and compare the presence and usability levels of primary school students participating in VR environments with different immersion characteristics (immersive and non-immersive). According to the findings, there was no significant difference between immersive and non-immersive VR environments in terms of presence and usability. It was also determined that the level of presence of students in both groups did not vary depending on usability. The results are regarded to be useful to educators, researchers, and instructional designers who want to integrate VR technology into their educational environments.

Hostile acquisitions have a significant impact on managers and employees. The possibility of an acquisition creates uncertainty and when the acquisition turns hostile it is even more disruptive to the target organisation. Also, negative perceptions are often created in the media about the acquirer that influence employees’ attitudes in the target organisation. Processes to successfully integrate the acquirer and target organisations are impacted by these antagonistic pre-acquisition circumstances. The Companies Act (no.71 of 2008) created opportunities for shareholders to hold an acquired company’s management accountable for financial performance and the researchers set out to investigate how the intent of the new legislation played out in practice, by studying an acquisition that turned hostile. The single case study research methodology revealed the manoeuvring of both the acquiring and acquired companies which utilised the mechanisms available to them through the new legislative, regulatory and corporate governance landscapes. The researchers provide an extensive review of the relevant mergers and acquisitions’ literature, as well as influence of the international legislative environment on the current local regulations. These regulations in turn, inform corporate governance and ultimately board behaviours. The researchers conducted qualitative interviews with key role players as well as legal and financial experts. The findings of the thematic analysis and triangulation process, informed a conceptual frame of three episodes.

This paper presents findings on a case study of how the language in education policy was being implemented at Muzi Primary School. To provide the context, a description of the development of the language in education policy from independence to present period is provided. The study aimed to address the following questions: 1. What factors did teachers perceive to contribute to the low performance of the school? 2. What role did language of instruction play in the learning process? 3. What attitudes were portrayed or displayed by teachers and how did these affect learning? 4. What were the implications of findings to nation-building, democracy, and social integration? The paper argues that the language policy, which promoted monolingualism, was a failure to acknowledge reality and an impediment to learning, a negation of democratic principles and a hinderance to social integration. The school context demonstrated how the education policy fostered monolingualism in a multilingual context and this negatively impacted on learning.
