Diglosia dan Bilingualisme Sebagai Fenomena Berbahasa Dalam Bahasa Tutur Yang Digunakan Mahasiswa di Lingkungan Kampus

This research aims to describe the language used by students in the campus environment, both the spoken language used by students outside of learning hours and the spoken language used when students present in front of their class. The sample for this research was all class A students of the Indonesian Language Education Department, Semester IV, Siliwangi University. The research method used is descriptive qualitative. Where researchers carry out studies first, so that they can provide relevant images. This research uses three stages, namely data collection, data analysis, and data presentation. Data collection was carried out by observing students who were chatting with their friends during break time, and comparing it with the spoken language used by students when they were presenting. Then researchers can analyze this phenomenon by finding out the factors that cause diglossia, the characteristics of diglossia situations, and the influence of diglossia on learning. In this study, researchers can describe the results of the discussion regarding the influence of diglossia on education, whether it has a positive effect or a negative effect.

A Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology Assessment in Learning Resources Management and Development System

The platform for Learning Resource Management and Development System (LRMDS) has the potential to be helpful for learning. Teachers find support and resources from the learning portal of the Department of Education. This study focused on determining the acceptance of the Learning Resources Management Development System (LRMDS) as a learning resource portal using the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) model among EPP/TLE/TVL teachers in the Division of Iligan City. For the sample selection based on structures and items, Soper's (2024) a-priori sample size calculator for structural modeling was utilized. This calculator calculates the minimum need to identify desired effects for a structural equation model inquiry by considering variables, effect size, and power levels. The study was based on quantitative and qualitative research designs via demographic questionnaire based on the UTAUT theory model and the perception questions. Findings indicate that the effort expectancy and social influence have positive effects on behavior intentions and facilitating conditions; behavioral intentions also have positive effects on use behavior. However, Performance expectancy is not significant. Additionally, qualitative findings suggest that teachers believe the LRMDS can greatly improve teaching effectiveness when viewed as valuable and dependable, resulting in its effective use. Teachers generally consider the content provided by LRMDS to be relevant and sufficient. However, a significant issue is that some resources, particularly in TLE (Technology and Livelihood Education), are outdated, likely due to limited access to ready-made resources and sufficient learning materials. The findings of this study also suggest that enhancing LRMDS integration, communication and outreach efforts are recommended, including a training guide matrix to raise awareness of LRMDS benefits and address misconceptions through targeted campaigns, workshops, and peer sharing. Recommendations include improving knowledge management, simplifying user interfaces, informing teachers about support conditions, and implementing the training guide matrix in public schools to highlight the advantages of the LRMDS portal.

Technical Assistance for Systemic Change: Lessons Learned From a National Technical Assistance Center.

Despite the millions of dollars awarded annually by the United States Department of Education to build implementation capacity through technical assistance (TA), data on TA effectiveness are severely lacking. Foundational to the operationalization and consistent research on TA effectiveness is the development and use of standardized TA core competencies, practices, and structures. Despite advances toward a consistent definition of TA, a gap still exists in understanding how these competencies are used within an operationalized set of TA practices to produce targeted outcomes at both individual and organizational levels to facilitate implementation of evidence-based practices. The current article describes key insights derived from the evaluation of an operationalized set of TA practices used by a nationally funded TA center, the State Implementation & Scaling Up of Evidence Based Practices (SISEP) Center. The TA provided by the Center supports the uptake of evidence-based practices in K-12 education for students with disabilities. Lessons learned include: (1) the need to understand the complexities and dependencies of operationalizing TA both longitudinally and at multiple levels of the system (state, regional, local); (2) the relative importance of building general and innovation-specific capacity for implementation success; (3) the value of using a co-design and participatory approach for effective TA delivery; (4) the need to develop TA providers' educational and implementation fluency across areas and levels of the system receiving TA; and (5) the need to ensure coordination and alignment of TA providers from different centers. Gaining an understanding into optimal TA practices will not only provide clarity of definition fundamental to TA research, but it will also inform the conceptual framing and practice of TA.

Exploring Symbolism in the Torompio Dance within the Traditions of the Pamona Tribe

This research aims to understand the symbolism and meanings of the Torompio dance among the Pamona indigenous people in Lambarese Village. This research uses an ethnographic analysis. Ethnographic analysis is an approach that begins with field facts, analyzes them based on cultural theories and relevant arguments to explore the cultural situation of the community, and ultimately yields a conclusion. The results show that the Torompio dance is a rich manifestation of symbolism and profound meaning, depicting complex interactions between humans, nature, and spirituality. The name “torompio” and the “paporapa” concept demonstrate how the Pamona indigenous people communicate values and emotions symbolically. Dance movement symbols reflect social and spiritual values and harmonious relations with nature. The transition of traditional attire from “karaba” to fabric and beads shows cultural adaptation in preserving traditions amidst changing times. The verses (kayori) underscore the symbiotic relationship between the community and nature and reflect a spiritual view of creation. All elements in the Torompio dance synergistically express the “Fervor of Love,” which is central to the cultural expression of the Pamona indigenous people. Therefore, it is recommended that the Department of Education and Culture of East Luwu Regency, the Lemba Pamona Luwu Indigenous Institution, and the Pamona indigenous people take strategic steps in preserving and promoting the Torompio dance. First, integrating the Torompio dance into the school education curriculum in East Luwu. Second, the Lemba Pamona Luwu Indigenous Institution should regularly organize workshops and cultural festivals featuring the Torompio dance as the main event. Third, the Pamona indigenous people are advised to continuously innovate and adapt their cultural expressions to modern times while maintaining the essence and original values of the Torompio dance. These initiatives will contribute to preserving the Torompio dance as an essential part of the cultural heritage and identity of the Pamona indigenous people while enriching Indonesia’s cultural diversity.

A statewide multi-tiered system of support (MTSS) approach to social and emotional learning (SEL) and mental health

Amidst growing concerns about the prolonged youth mental health crisis, many schools across the United States provide social and emotional supports for students through both universal social and emotional learning (SEL) programs and practices and through more targeted and intensive mental health supports. However, all too often, these supports are implemented in a way that is not coordinated to ensure that students benefit in a systematic and equitable manner. This article provides a case study example from a statewide initiative to address this issue: the Social, Emotional, and Behavioral Academy (SEB Academy) operated by Education Development Center (EDC) as part of the Multi-Tiered Systems of Support (MTSS) Academies funded by the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education. The SEB Academy supports schools in assessing and improving their MTSS for SEL and mental health. Schools improve their systems for identifying students needing SEL and mental health support at each tier, providing appropriate support, monitoring student progress, and adjusting supports as appropriate while ensuring cultural responsiveness and equity. Key strategies, tools, and approaches in implementing this MTSS approach to SEL and mental health in schools and districts are described. Implications for the field of SEL and mental health are discussed, including how states and other education stakeholders can support an MTSS approach to SEL and mental health at scale.

Predicting EFL Learners’ Self-Regulated Learning through Technology Acceptance Model

The purpose of this study is to assess the perceived usefulness of technology (PUT), internet self-efficacy (ISE), and perceived ease of use of technology (PEUT), and self-regulated learning (SRL) of EFL student teachers who participated in technology-mediated English learning environment. After obtaining and validating the questionnaire adapted from several relevant sources, an online survey was conducted to 363 third- and fourth-year student teachers of the English education department in Indonesian universities who met the required criteria. SEM was performed to test three hypotheses about the causal relationship between variables. Due to the hypotheses tested, it is revealed that ISE and PEUT have a partially positive and significant effect on SRL, while PUT has a positive but insignificant effect on SRL. Additionally, it is determined that the exogenous variables (PEUT) is the most influential variable on the endogenous variables (SRL). These findings are expected to add to a body of knowledge, particularly in the development of learning autonomy in teacher education, and that ISE and PEUT, in particular, should be considered as important predictors of SRL in technological English learning setting.

The inequity of education, health and care plan provision for children and young people with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

Children and young people (CYP) with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDDs) have significant additional educational needs compared with the general population. In England, the government has established a system of education, health and care plans (EHCPs) to support children with special educational needs and disabilities, but disparities exist between the degree of need and the availability of support. We conducted a prospective UK national cohort study (IMAGINE) of children with rare pathogenic genomic variants, all of which are associated with IDD, to investigate associated neuropsychiatric risk. Subsequently, we obtained information from the UK's National Pupil Database on their educational progress through the state school system. We aimed to identify whether they had received EHCP provision and whether that support was associated with their family's socioeconomic status, region of domicile, ethnicity, sex, primary special educational needs (SEN) type, academic performance and mental health well-being. We recruited 2738 CYP from England into the IMAGINE study between 2014 and 2019. The educational histories of the participants (6-28years old, mean±standard deviation= 14±4years, 56% male) were obtained from the Department for Education's National Pupil Database in 2021. Educational data included attainment scores from the Early Year Foundation Stage (<5years) to key stage 4 (15-16years). Each family was assigned an index of multiple deprivation (IMD) score based on their home address postcode. Parents or carers rated their child's emotional and behavioural adjustment on the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ). The association between receiving an EHCP and the child's IMD score, eligibility for free school meals, English region of domicile, ethnicity, sex, primary SEN type, academic attainment and SDQ score was investigated. In this cohort, 78% of participants had received an EHCP. CYP living in the most deprived IMD deciles were substantially less likely to receive EHCP support than those in the least deprived decile, irrespective of their degree of intellectual developmental disability, academic performance or associated mental health problems. There were no sex differences. Children of Asian heritage were more likely to have been granted an EHCP than White children from equivalent IMD deciles. There were striking regional disparities. Participants living in London were significantly more likely to have been awarded an EHCP than participants living anywhere else in England, regardless of their IMD decile; those in the least deprived decile had almost 100% EHCP provision. This study found evidence for nationwide regional inconsistencies in the awarding of EHCP to CYP with significant intellectual impairments of known genetic aetiology. Disparities in funds available to education authorities could be a contributory factor. EHCP support was potentially influenced by how strongly a parent advocates for their child.

О физическом воспитании студентов с ограниченными возможностями здоровья

The analysis of the textbooks published in recent years and devoted to the improvement of the physical education of students with disabilities (health limitations) shows that all the authors point out negative trends in the health of students in most universities of the country, while the number of first-year students with disabilities and those disabled since childhood increases annually, many of them having the pathology of two or more systems simultaneously. The main task facing the teachers of the departments of physical education is the development of such students’ ability to assess their physical condition for a given period and training them in choosing available physical activities, i.e. the formation of universal competencies in the field of health preservation and promotion. The actual organization of physical education for students in all the universities of the country that includes 1-2 classes per week in the 1st-2nd-3rd years does not provide students with disabilities with physical rehabilitation they need during the study period. And it is not possible to form their universal competencies connected with performing physical exercises during extracurricular time (with self-training) due to the limited number of hours in the 1st semester that does not allow students to acquire the necessary amount of knowledge on the impact of physical activity on human health. Referring to Order No. 245 of the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation, which went into effect on September 1, 2022, the authors propose to form groups of students with disabilities starting with the first year and plan physical education classes for them for 45 minutes at least 4 times a week throughout their studies, given that according to the State Standard 400 hours are allotted for physical education. In addition, in order to form universal competencies in the field of health preservation and promotion, the authors propose to introduce a theoretical course (module) during the first 3 years of studies in all universities of the country that will be devoted to the basics of health-improving physical education (72 hours) at the expense of the course “Elective disciplines in physical education”.

INSTITUTIONAL FACTORS OF THE TECHNOLOGIC ACADEMIC ENTREPRENEURSHIP DYNAMICS

The article deals with identifying the obstacles to the commercialization of academic research results generated by the differences in institutional environment for the production of scientific knowledge and the production of technological products by innovative start-ups. To do this, it gives the characteristics of the above-mentioned institutional environments, as well as patterns of behavior in them that do not have the character of formal or informal institutions. Particular attention is paid to psychological traits of entrepreneurs and their cognitive abilities, which may not be available to teachers and researchers at universities and research organizations. Comparison of the content of these environments gives grounds for distinguishing two types of institutional barriers: the first one is of a general economic nature and can generate significant costs for the work of innovative start-ups; the second one is intra-organizational in nature and can generate high risks of transition from science to commercial industry, preventing researchers and teachers from making decisions about creating innovative technology start-ups. The paper concludes with recommendations to reduce the level of barriers of the second type. In particular, to compensate for the risks associated with possible consequences of failure to create a startup and the difficulties of returning to the field of research activity, university management could legally guarantee a teacher or researcher a return to work in scientific or educational departments of faculties for at least five years after creating a startup.
