This paper reports on a research study that scrutinised the student perspective on teachers’ different didactical designs from lessons in the one-to-one computing classroom. Specifically, the aim was to describe and understand three different clusters of didactical design in the one-to-one computing classroom from the student perspective. Each of the three clusters represents different interactions between teachers and students. The research questions embrace how the teachers or students, through the didactical design, will have an advantage over the other. The empirical material was based on student focus groups interviews, enhanced through the method of stimulated recall where different photographs of teaching and learning situations from the one-to-one computing classroom were shown to the students. The results demonstrate three empirical themes: students’ learning in class, students’ learning outside class, and classroom assessment. From a theoretical lens of power and control, the students’ reasoning demonstrates approaches to how teachers regulate students and to how students can make decisions in their learning process. For handling students’ demands, specifically in pedagogical plans, the one-to-one computing classroom becomes one component for making students’ learning processes smoother regarding when to study and how to study.

The novel coronavirus is one of the most tragic epidemic diseases the world has ever faced thus far. Therefore, the governments of all countries have taken a range of measures against it. This article preforms a critical analysis on a political discourse, notably president Trump’s March 11, 2020 speech about the global pandemic. Using a multi- disciplinary approach as suggested by representatives of critical discourse analysis, it attempts to unpack or decipher the ideologies behind the discourse on the one hand, and to reveal how the discourse contributes to manipulating the public opinion through structural and contextual features of power and control, on the other hand.

ABSTRACTThis article explores the relationship between the status of Javanese women and the politeness or formality of their speech. I examine the hypothesis that, cross-culturally, women will speak more politely than men as an expression of their secondary status. Ethnographic research from East Java reveals that Javanese women are required to be more polite within the family where they receive less polite speech and offer more. In the wider context of Javanese culture, however, it is Javanese men who strive to cultivate politeness for the purpose of expressing their superior status and authority. The potentially coercive or political power of politeness in Javanese is related to the ambiguity of the polite codes themselves, which may be used to express both deference or humility on the one hand and status, refinement, and power on the other. Speech patterns are linked to a number of social-structural variables: patterns of socialization, models of appropriate male and female linguistic behavior, and men's and women's social roles and typical spheres of interest. Where, as in Java, polite codes are associated with public power and control, we should expect that men may be especially concerned with the cultivation of polite styles of speech.

The problem that confronts scholars who intend to engage in organizing issuesassociated with the environment in a manner that is logical and coherent is thatmany of those issues are conceptually overlapping, territorially interrelated, andacademically multidisciplinary. Added to this are the submerged and not so submergedtensions between environmentalism on the one hand, which restrains thefrontier exercise of human power and control over natural resources, and neoliberali.smon the other, which ordinarily considers such limitations oddities. Manyof the scholars who have been successful in this endeavor have tried to focus onrelated environmental mediums, issues, or regions.Despite its wider scope, Environmental Politics: Domestic and Global Dimensions,which is in its third edition, weaves through the maze of topics it covers using aprocess perspective. The book focuses on formal and informal institutions andprocesses in trying to develop an understanding about how global environmentalpolicies are developed in the United States. It is essential to note from the outsetthat the domestic and global dimensions of the book basically focus on the UnitedStates' responses to those challenges and, accordingly, a foreign reader may readinto the title: The US. Environmental Politicr: Domestic and Global Dimensions.The author, Dr. Jacqueline V. Switzer, does not waste any time in letting thereader know that the approach to the book is through the process model, a processwhereby the Congress, the president and his executive branch, and the judiciaryjostle for influence in formulating, implementing or redirecting environmentalpolicies (p. viii). An associate professor of political science at Northern ArizonaUniversity, the author deploys her understanding of the history, process, and conflictinginterests that have shaped the United States' environmental policies bothat home and at the international plane, to organize the complex issues covered inthe book. The third edition is remarkable for carefully updating a book that isreputed to be an information powerhouse regarding environmental policy, actors,disputes, and processes, up through the final years of the Clinton administration.It also incorporates, in each chapter, a global dimension of the main topic of thechapter, and it revises the "Another View, Another Voice" boxes of each chapter ...

Perubahan paradigma dalam pembelajaran dari metode Teacher  Centered Learning (TCL) menjadi Student Centered Learning (SCL) merupakan salah satu cara dalam meningkatkan kompetensi lulusan yang mampu bersaing dalam AEC 2015. Salah satu metode pembelajaran dalam SCL adalah metode pembelajaran berbasis pengalaman (experiential learning), yaitu suatu metode pembelajaran dengan cara mengkonstruksi pengetahuan melalui transformasi pengalaman. Ketika individu terlibat aktif dalam proses belajarnya maka individu tersebut akan belajar jauh lebih baik. Penelitian ini adalah penelitian eksperimen dengan menggunakan desain The One Group Pretest-Posttest. Teknik pengambilan sampel yang digunakan adalah teknik sampel acak stratifikasi proporsional dengan melibatkan sampel sebanyak 60 mahasiswa. Hal ini dilakukan mengingat kemampuan akademis mahasiswa sangat beragam. Teknik pengambilan data dilakukan melalui alat ukur berupa kuesioner, observasi, dan wawancara langsung. Berdasarkan hasil uji validitas dan reliabilitas pada alat ukur motivasi belajar diperoleh 30 aitem valid, dengan tingkat alpha (α) sebesar = 0,933. Berdasarkan hasil uji-t diperoleh hasil bahwa terdapat perbedaan motivasi belajar pada mahasiswa setelah dilakukan intervensi metode pembelajaran berbasis pengalaman  (. Metode pembelajaran berbasis pengalaman dalam penelitian ini dapat menjadi acuan untuk meningkatkan motivasi belajar pada mata kuliah lain yang sejenis.

In the following essay I draw on existing literature to suggest that homebirth represents the convergence of knowledge, power, and control during pregnancy, labor, and delivery. I pay particular attention to the ways in which working-class women are disadvantaged by the medicalized model of childbirth and are less likely to acquire extensive knowledge about birth, less likely to feel as though they have power over their own birthing experiences, and less likely to exercise control over obstetric interventions and their birth environments. This is a problem that is, on the one hand, caused by a problematic health care system and inadequately staffed public health clinics and, on the other, a model of childbirth that values medicalized birth knowledge over embodied birth knowledge. I argue that all women can and should be made more aware of the various birthing options that are available to them so they can make birthing decisions that are not based solely on fears of obstetric dysfunction. I also encourage birth activists to explore the relationship between social class and birth options so their advocacy efforts can better address women's needs.

  There always exists the lived Islam, the one has been dominating the spheres of religion, politics, society and culture since its formative period; i.e., the one imagined, cut off from critical reason and history and having been used as the basis of authority. This type of Islam, which Mohammed Arkoun refuted, is nothing less than Muslim traditionalists’ Islam – i.e., the one has been developing and growing out their dogmatic readings of revelation and its deterioration into ideologies of dominion. It is the one has been making use of theological (orthodox) doctrines like ‘al-Hakimiyah li Allah’ (no authority but of Allah) not only as the basis of the religious and political elites’ power and control, but also –which is worse – of Islamists extreme ideology. Here, Arkoun notes, such expressions have been taken (still are) as the basis not only of the trueness of Islam, but also of the ideology itself. It all depends on a rigid reading of certain Qur’anic verses. Muslims radicals have always found in them the pretense, arguments; say the justification of their ideology.   This research paper attempts, through a critical analytical methodology, to clarify this matter from the viewpoint of Muhammad Arkoun. It lets Arkoun’s ideas circulate through my own analysis, which varies and overlaps following the fluidity of his own methodology. While it does, the comparative mode in it has its own space in certain contexts, which, altogether, form both the theoretical and organizational bases of this paper.
