EVALUATION OF CLASS TEACHERS’ OPINIONS ON THE REMEDIAL PROGRAM IN PRIMARY SCHOOLS (RPPS)

The purpose of the current study is to evaluate the remedial program first implemented in primary schools in the 2018-2019 school year on the basis of teacher opinions. To this end, it is attempted to perform a holistic analysis of the opinions of the class teachers implementing the training program in their classes, its implementation stages, the grade levels covered by the program, the content of the book used in the implementation and its applicability, the place and time of the implementation and to provide some insights for future research. In the current study designed as a qualitative study, the purposive sampling method was used and thus, a total of 8 tenured teachers implementing this program in their classes were selected. A semi-structured interview form was prepared to collect data and the data collected through this semi-structured interview form were analysed by using the descriptive analysis and content analysis techniques. The findings obtained from the analysis of the data revealed that the teachers evaluated the general objectives of RPPS as positive, partially positive and negative. Although they did not receive any in-service training while implementing the program, they did not encounter a general problem, and implemented the program in line with the information given to them. The teachers expressed different opinions about the objectives of the program and generally stated that the program should be started from the second grade onwards. The teachers made different comments on the content of the source book prepared for the program according to different modules and gave positive and negative opinions about its applicability. The teachers arranged the implementation steps according to their own knowledge and experience; they found the school suitable for the place of implementation, but they put forward different opinions about the time of implementation. In addition, the teachers presented various ideas on the basis of their experiences during the implementation. <p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0772/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

Impact of Supra-segmental Features on Reading Comprehension in First and Second Language: A Comparative Study of Iranian EFL learners

Supra-segmental features refer to various forms of intonation and how words and sentences are uttered. Such features challenge meaning and comprehension, too. Despite the importance of these features and their reported association with phonological awareness and linguistic comprehension, their effects on reading comprehension have not been explored. The current work investigated the impact of a remedial program on Persian and English reading comprehension of a group of English language learners (N=30 divided into experimental and control groups). The measurements tested the components of reading comprehension based on the Simple View of Reading (SVR). Additionally, supra-segmental features were assessed by Profiling Elements of Prosody (i.e., supra-segmentals) in Speech-communication (PEPS) in both languages. As a result, English and Persian elision and also Persian listening were affected by teaching supra-segmental features. Assessing the transfer of linguistic skills revealed that Persian listening and knowledge of supra-segmentals, in particular, recognizing short syllables and awareness of stress position in a sentence, contribute to English reading comprehension. It indicates that reading and listening comprehension are affected by similar cognitive processes that may lay in the knowledge of supra-segmentals. The findings also suggest that simpler systems of supra-segmentals are more likely to transfer. Pertinent pedagogical implications were presented, as well.

Basic Dimensions of Early Reading Skills of Elementary School Students in Bandung

This study is motivated by the need for a descriptive and analytical research related to the basic dimensions of early reading skills of elementary school students to determine the level of students’ reading skills, including their difficulties in learning to read. This study aims to get a picture of the early reading skills of elementary school students in Bandung. The results of this study can be used as a guide for education practitioners, policy makers, and related institutions. Through a descriptive and analytical method, the findings are (1) 98% of students are able to identify letters in words, to analyze words, to identify the direction of letters, and to arrange letters into words. (2) 96% of students are able to strip words into syllables, to sort syllables in words, to identify words with the same forms, to identify words with the same meanings, to replace words with logical words, to insert words in incomplete sentences, and to identify abstract words. (3) The students seem to have difficulties in identifying similar consonant sounds, in identifying similarities in vowel and schwa sounds, in identifying sounds that are similar in sentences, and in identifying reversed sounds. Only 57% of students do not encounter obstacles. (4) 90% of students are capable of making sentences from random words, making sentences from words that are not sequential, correcting sentences that have wrong words, identifying simple sentences in paragraphs, and understanding simple sentences. (5) 70% of students have the ability to understand shapes, sizes, locations, and colors. This study has implications for the need for an integrated remedial program that can be used by both teachers and parents, especially for students who have difficulties with sound identification abilities.

The Student of Error Analysis and Remedial Program in working on the Story of Comparative Material and Turning Value

Problem solving mathematics error in a matter of story on ratio material worth and turn around values still often occur, so we need a remedial program to minimize these errors. For this reason, this study aims to determine the types of errors, remedial program steps and types of errors after the remedial program. This research is a qualitative descriptive study with the data collection method uses tests, interviews, and personal documents. The study was conducted at eighth grade of SMP Pangudi Luhur 1 Yogyakarta. This study applies a layered validation strategy in the form of triangulation techniques, Focus Group Discussion (FGD) and the involvement of resource persons and experts. The results showed that the dominant error in the form of an error did not understand the command problem with a percentage of 43%, the error shown if every step taken by students was correct but the final result given was not a solution done with a percentage of 80% and a calculation error with a percentage of 20%. After the results are obtained remediation efforts are made. Based on the remediation results that have been made, there is a decrease in 2 categories of dominant student errors, namely mistakes not understanding the question command to a percentage of 31%, errors that are shown if each step taken by students is correct but the end result given is not a completion done to 60%. Thus, the remediation program makes fewer types of mistakes made by students than before remediation.
