Interpretive Communities

This study aims to analyze the interpretation of Indonesian people in Sebatik Island towards Malaysian television programs. The Sebatik community is a marginalized community who does not have access to Indonesian television broadcasts. To get Indonesian television broadcasts, they have to buy satellite dishes which the majority of the people of Sebatik Island cannot afford. But on the other hand there is a leak of Malaysian television broadcasts in the Sebatik Island area. In this case, they rely on Malaysian television broadcasts which are very accessible at all times. This situation continued for many years and Malaysian television broadcasts became the main source of communication media. This study uses the theory of Interpretive Communities, Stanley Fish. The methodology used in this study is reception analysis through focus group discussions, and observation as a data collection technique. Focus Group Discussion was conducted on the people of Sebatik Island who met the criteria in the study. The results showed that Malaysian television broadcasts were used as the main television broadcast of the Sebatik community in their daily lives. Malaysian television which contains the values and meanings of the Malaysian state is interpreted by the Indonesian people on the border of Sebatik Island. The interpretation results show that life in Malaysia is an ideal and perfect life for the people of Sebatik Island. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis interpretasi masyarakat Indonesia di Pulau Sebatik terhadap program televisi Malaysia. Masyarakat Sebatik adalah masyarakat terpinggir yang tidak memiliki akses siaran televisi Indonesia. Untuk mendapatkan siaran televisi Indonesia, mereka harus membeli parabola yang harganya tidak mampu dibayar oleh mayoritas masyarakat Pulau Sebatik. Namun disisi lain terdapat kebocoran siaran televisi Malaysia di kawasan Pulau Sebatik. Dalam hal ini, mereka mengandalkan siaran televisi Malaysia yang sangat mudah diakses setiap saat. Situasi ini berlangsung selama bertahun-tahun dan siaran televisi Malaysia menjadi sumber utama media komunikasi. Penelitian ini menggunakan teori Interpretive Communities, Stanley Fish. Metodologi yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah analisis resepsi melalui focus group discussion, dan observasi sebagai teknik pengumpulan data. Focus Group Discussion dilakukan terhadap masyarakat Pulau Sebatik yang memenuhi kriteria dalam penelitian. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa siaran televisi Malaysia digunakan sebagai siaran televisi utama komunitas Sebatik dalam kesehariannya.

The study investigated the influence of journal writing on the senior high school students’ attitude toward mathematics. A mixed-method approach, particularly the convergent parallel design, was used in this study. Using Scale on Attitude Toward Mathematics (SATM) (Guce & Talens, 2013), the students’ attitude toward the subject was measured in four subscales—liking or disliking mathematics, tendency to engage in or avoid mathematical activities, belief that one is good or bad in mathematics and belief that mathematics is useful or useless. Using focus group discussion, the insights of the students on journal writing as a mathematics class activity were gathered. Results using quantitative data revealed positive significant differences in the attitude of the respondents in terms of (i) liking mathematics and (ii) having the tendency to engage in mathematical activities. This aligned with the result in the focus group discussion which suggested that students perceive journal writing as a helpful tool for them to enjoy mathematics and engage in it. The activity, thus, may be regarded as a means to improve students’ attitude toward mathematics.

Aliteracy, the lack of interest in reading by capable readers had been observed to be prevalent among high school students and this has been a source of concern for education stakeholders. This study examined the remedial influence of bibliotherapy in reducing aliteracy among high school students in Ilesa, southwest Nigeria. The objectives of the study were to discuss the prevalence of aliteracy and examine the importance of reading among the high school students as well as describe the remedial impact of bibliotherapy in combating aliteracy among the high school students. All the 18 participants who identified as aliterates were exposed to Focus Group Discussion (FGD) which involved bibliotherapy. Content analysis was employed to analyse the responses of the participants to self-designed questions after the bibliotherapy sessions. The participants affirmed that exposure to bibliotherapy sessions helped in reducing aliteracy irrespective of their gender and that they needed the support of their parents to sustain an appropriate attitude to reading. Therefore, school librarians with the knowledge of bibliotherapy could be of help in reducing aliteracy among the high school students.
