Developing Scramble-Based Learning Method to Increase Students’ Reading and Writing Comprehension

The course of English for Specific Purposes (ESP) is supposed to prepare students for the professional sector, yet the course at IAIN Palopo in Indonesi is designed in general English without any professional input or assessment of the learner's needs. This research is motivated by the Communication and Islamic Broadcasting program students’ complaints of unsatisfaction with the course since it does not meet their needs. This research aims to examine the English needs of students studying in the communication and Islamic broadcasting program. The researchers used a mixed-methods strategy that incorporates both quantitative and qualitative research. The participants in this study were 60 undergraduates and 30 graduate students. Data was gathered through questionnaires and interviews. The data was then analyzed using the comprehensive concept of need analysis proposed by Dudley-Evans & St. John (1998). The results revealed that the majority of students learn English to help them advance in their careers. Their top priority in ESP is to improve their speaking skills, followed by listening, reading, and writing. Due to the repetitive learning method, inappropriate textbook, and short duration, according to the interview results, the students were also unsatisfied with the present ESP course.

AbstrakUlama Nusantara melakukan perlawanan terhadap kolonial dilatarbelakangi semangat jihad. Perlawanannya meluas hingga berbeda dalam berpakaian dan bentuk tulisan yang dikenal pego atau pegon. Penulisan pegon sejak era Sunan Ampel dan Syarif Hidayatullah yang dikembangkan oleh ulama generasi selanjutnya seperti K.H Ahmad Rifa’i dalam karyanya Kitab Tarjumah sehingga pegon mengalami dinamika. Riset tahun 2018 ini data diperoleh dengan observasi dan wawancara dengan deskriptif analisis dan pendekatan sejarah. Tujuan riset mengetahui dinamika penulisan/pembelajaran pegon era kolonial hingga millenial khususnya di kelas 1 MI Darul Ulum.

Under Nutrition

Background: Early childhood is characterised by an immense spurt of growing and learning where under-nutrition can have adverse effects on the neuro-developmental health and school performance of children. A full understanding of the relationship between school performance and motor functioning skills and malnourishment in school beginners is still lacking.Aim: To determine the association between indices of under-nutrition and how it relates to school performance and motor functioning skills of first-grade learners.Setting: North West province (NWP) of South Africa (SA).Method: The baseline data of the stratified, randomised North-West Child Health Integrated with Learning and Development (NW-CHILD) longitudinal study were used. Grade 1 learners (N = 816, 420 boys, 396 girls, mean age 6.78+ years) from four school districts in the NWP of SA took part in the study. Indices of under-nutrition were determined by Z-scores (−2 standard deviation [s.d.]) for stunting (height-for-age [HAZ]) and wasting and underweight (Z-score for body mass index) using the 2007 World Health Organization reference sample. The Bruininks–Oseretsky Test of Motor Proficiency Short Form and the Visual Motor Integration fourth edition were used to assess different aspects of motor functioning, while school performance in mathematics, reading and writing was assessed by teachers according to the National South African standards of assessments.Results: Both HAZ and Z-score for weight-for-age correlated significantly with school performance and motor functioning skills (r 2.0, p 0.05), while visual perception was moderately associated (r 0.30) with mathematics in HAZ and Z-score for weight-for-height (WHZ) children. Motor functioning of HAZ and WHZ children was significantly poorer (p 0.05) compared to typical children, while underweight was not associated with any outcome variables.Conclusion: Moderate forms of stunting and wasting influence school performance and motor functioning of school beginners negatively, while an association between visual perceptual abilities and inferior mathematics, reading and writing suggests a close link with inferior cognitive information processing in stunted and wasted children. These barriers should be addressed as poor scholastic success in Grade 1 may influence future school performance and the subsequent well-being of children.
