Strategi Self Reward dalam Meningkatkan Prestasi Belajar Siswa Tingkat Sekolah Menengah Atas

Self-reward is used as a sign of appreciation and reward for individuals for the efforts that have been passed before. High school kids' self-rewarding can play a significant part in piquing their interest in learning. Giving appreciation to oneself or doing self-reward needs to be done by some students because by doing self-reward students can give appreciation for the endeavors undertaken and feel happy to be able to maintain mental health. This research uses the literature review research method. This study adopts a qualitative methodology, as well as the methods for data analysis used are those that include content analysis. This research is also used in three actions: data gathering, reducing, presenting, and making conclusions. This investigation concludes that the use of the self-reward strategy is important for students to develop learning achievement. Additionally, self-reward can foster learning motivation among students.

Trait mindfulness's effect on junior high school students' social anxiety: psychological resilience acts as a mediation factor

The current research studied one's connection between trait mindfulness and social anxiety in junior high school students using mental resilience as an intermediary variable. The Resilience Scale for Chinese Adolescents (RSCA), the Mindful Attention Awareness Scale, and the Social Anxiety Scale for Adolescents (SAS-A) were used for providing a survey to 276 Chinese junior high school students. The key findings were as follows: 1) Social anxiety, psychological resilience, and trait mindfulness were found to be significantly correlated; 2) Psychological resilience acted as a partial mediating factor in establishing a link between trait mindfulness and social anxiety among junior high school students. Thus, the more trait mindfulness junior high school children have, the less social anxiety they experience, with psychological resilience serving as a partly mediation role. All things considered, this results explain this process by which trait mindfulness impacts social anxiety in this age range, providing guidance for interventions aimed at reducing social anxiety in junior high school kids.

Social media addiction and loneliness of high school students

The purpose of this study was to determine whether high school students' addictions to social media and feelings of loneliness were related. The UCLA loneliness scale, and the social media addiction scale were applied for this purpose. To supplement the quantitative data, a semi-structured questionnaire was also created, and students' perspectives on social media addiction and loneliness were evaluated. The study was conducted in a Turkish Anatolian high school student. 30 students took part in the study's qualitative part, whereas 379 students took part in the study's quantitative part. The study's quantitative findings and the data acquired from them showed that the students generally have a moderate level of social media addiction and a moderate level of loneliness. Additionally, the connection between students' addictions to social media and feelings of loneliness was investigated, and it was found through quantitative data that there was no such association. Nevertheless, qualitative data showed a connection between students' social media addictions and loneliness. While the qualitative findings match with the literature, the quantitative findings disagree with it when compared to other studies of a similar nature. As a result of the study, it can be seen that high school kids have moderate degrees of social media addiction and moderate level of loneliness. As a result, although quantitative data doesn't support, based on the qualitative data it can be said that high school students' addictions to social media may deprive them from real social environment and may lead them being loneliness.

PROBLEMS FACED BY HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS IN PLANNING CAREER FURTHER STUDY AND WORK

The goal of this study is to describe the issues that students face when trying to plan their careers, both in school and at work. This study is field research, which means that several high school kids were watched and talked to. The study's results showed that most students had trouble planning their careers because they didn't believe in their own skills and had trouble coming up with ideas or ways to solve problems. Problems: not enough self-confidence, hard to be focused, and hard to take the lead. They don't know much about jobs and have a hard time getting information about jobs after they finish school. Lack of conversation experience, which makes it seem like job talks will be hard, and lack of foreign language skills. It's hard to come up with a list of things that can help with preparing a job. It's hard to get projects done on time, and it's hard for students to do jobs that need good results.

Terrible People

Terrible People Thomas Heise (bio) The house on Chauncey Street in Brooklyn's historically Black neighborhood of Bedford-Stuyvesant is the nicest place I have ever lived. Perhaps that isn't saying much, but it is. I grew up in near-poverty in a scrubby neighborhood of unpainted cinderblock houses and trailers in Florida, so merely living in New York City has always seemed to me like a luxury. I moved to the city in 1999 for graduate school, and after hopscotching around eight different apartments—most of them crummy in that special way New York living can be both crummy and too expensive at the same time—I signed the lease on the place on Chauncey, a stately, turn-of-the-century, Renaissance Revival limestone row house. Designed by the architect William Debus, it had ornate cast-iron curlicues around the entrance, a chandelier in the formal dining area with pocket doors, and an airy living room wrapped with wainscotting and a high coffered ceiling that made me feel like I was in a library. Jodi, my girlfriend at the time, and I occupied the first floor; the second was rented to two sisters, both also white and in their late twenties or early thirties, neither of whom I saw much. One was creating an app for the iPhone, and the other worked as a bartender and gave cello lessons, a mix of the tech, service, and so-called gig economies that employed many newcomers to the neighborhood. Drowning under a half-million-dollar albatross of student-loan debt, Jodi was finishing her residency in veterinary medicine; I was teaching at a university. We were all part of the great white influx, the hipster diaspora, from overpriced neighborhoods like Williamsburg, Fort Greene, or Gowanus (where I was coming from), or other parts of the city. We were fleeing rising rents and, in the process, we were making Bed-Stuy unaffordable for people who'd lived there for years, some for their entire lives. With upwards of nine thousand houses built before 1900, Bed-Stuy has one of the most extensive collections of Victorian architecture in America. The houses designed by Debus are among the most coveted. A few years before we moved to Bed-Stuy, the real-estate mogul Barbara Corcoran, famous as one of the angel investors on Shark Tank, purchased a Debus townhouse for a little under $1.5 million—a total bargain now. It was around the corner on Stuyvesant Avenue, "the nicest block" in [End Page 79] the neighborhood according to Brian Platzer in his 2017 novel Bed-Stuy Is Burning, but for my money ($2,800 a month), I preferred Chauncey for its unobstructed light. Our south-facing apartment was directly across from Fulton Park with its hundred-year-old sycamores, just seedlings when the foundations for the houses on the street were laid. Sunlight flooded through the bedroom's stained-glass windows, casting ephemeral roses on the parquet floor that would evaporate by noon. I'd watch them disappear as I sat at my writing desk. My relationship with Jodi, meanwhile, was brittle. Ever since the night I had told her in the middle of the street that I loved her and she looked me in the eyes and said, "I care about you," but couldn't bring herself to say anything more, I knew it was over. Yet, like with so much else in New York, I looked the other way, part of me breaking inside, and kept going as though nothing had happened. When I opened our bedroom windows and peered out through the bars, there were always a couple of stoic cops standing guard at the stairs to the subway station. High school kids (mostly Black and brown) bouncing around in their high-tops. Commuters (mostly white) holding their shoulder bags in one hand, coffee in the other. Old-timers playing cards. Occasionally someone out of his mind on K2 or something else screaming at the sky. And a police car parked on Fulton's cobblestones like it owned the place, its blue eyes spinning in circles. Another day in the life of New York's most rapidly gentrifying neighborhood...

Factors Contributing to Issues with Mental Health among Chinese High School Pupils

The mental health of youth is one of the most famous research issues worldwide. The mental health issues that mainland Chinese high school students suffer seem to be mostly ignored. Despite the fact that high school kids are an important cohort, past research included samples of learners in elementary and middle schools, rendering it challenging to present a complete picture of high school pupils' mental health. Researchers have identified a number of factors, including changes in the body's hormones, adjustments in life circumstances, and shifts in relationships, as causes of mental health issues in children during adolescence. However, there is a lack of explanation for the causes of psychological changes in Chinese adolescents during their high school years and the solutions to these mental health problems during this period. Therefore, this paper focuses on analyzing the root problems of high schoolers in China's co - occurring disorders, a special group of adolescents, and proposes corresponding solutions to these causes. The analysis reveals that the lack of awareness and solutions to provisions with schizophrenia among pupils and parents neglect of their children's mental health status due to excessive academic pressure are the two main causes of mental health problems among high school students. Therefore, it would be beneficial for students to exercise daily and for parents to pay attention to their children's psychological changes and give them the right guidance to alleviate their mental health problems.

Constraints of Grammar Teaching and Learning

ABSTRACT:
 This study would like to analyse constraint of grammar teaching and learning process in junior high school. The goal of this study was to examine the grammar teaching and learning process and determine the constraints to that process. The design applied in this research is qualitative approach and the type is a case study. The researcher used questionnaires, interviews, and observation to gather the data for this study. The English teacher who taught in second year students and some students became the respondents. The result of research finds the deductive approach was applied in which the rules applied and the exercises were practised. There were four constraints of grammar teaching learning i.e., lack of students’ motivation, lack of teachers’ role, teachers’ method, and lack of materials. It is suggested that the exact plan, approach, and technique that would be most effective for junior high school kids must be determined by teachers.
 
 Keywords: constraints, grammar teaching, grammar learning.

Great Demon Kings: A Memoir of Poetry, Sex, Art, Death, and Enlightenment by John Giorno

Reviewed by: Great Demon Kings: A Memoir of Poetry, Sex, Art, Death, and Enlightenment by John Giorno Ilka Scobie (bio) great demon kings: a memoir of poetry, sex, art, death, and enlightenment Ilka Scobie Farrar, Straus and Giroux https://us.macmillan.com/books/9780374166304/greatdemonkings 368 pages; Print, $18.00 John Giorno's brilliant and bodacious memoir was twenty-three years in the creation. In that time, the iconic poet expanded his career as a visual artist with several solo shows and a comprehensive retrospective exhibition that opened in Tokyo de Palais in Paris. He married Swiss Italian artist Ugo Rondinone and embarked upon years of creative expansion and domestic bliss, all the while performing his groundbreaking poetry throughout the United States and Europe. For fifty years he lived in his legendary Bowery loft, built in 1880 as New York City's first YMCA, and continued his practice of the Nyingmapa school of Tibetan Buddhism. "I was young and beautiful and that got me what I wanted and all I wanted was sex." Early on, in 1958, young John met Allen Ginsberg and Jack Kerouac at a cocktail party. John writes about the encounter with Andy Warhol at Warhol's 1962 opening: "We looked in each other's eyes. Something happened, a spark." Checking out Jasper Johns, a future lover, John notes: "And I couldn't help but notice he had a big basket hung in his khaki pants. Every time I saw him at openings or parties, my heart beat a little faster." Warhol and Giorno soon became lovers, embarking upon an exploration of downtown and Pop culture, from the Living Theater to the Ronettes. They spoke daily on the telephone. Directly in the center of the New York art world, Giorno recollects lost weekends with luminaries like Marisol, Robert Indiana (another soon-to-be lover), and Wynn Chamberlain. At one Hamptons weekend, the poet woke up to find Warhol staring at him, and [End Page 114] thus the movie Sleep was born. For over five hours, Warhol shot the sleeping and nude Giorno from different perspectives, and the movie brought both filmmaker and star attention and infamy. At a time when the New York cultural underground was homophobic, John lived freely and openly as a gay man. His groundbreaking readings, inspired by the Pop art world, refocused the energy of both the Beat and New York school of poetry. In 1963, at a John Ashbery and Frank O'Hara poetry reading, neither Giorno nor Warhol can clearly hear the poets. "Why is it so boring?" Andy asked. The answer compelled John, "So I took something commercial and industrial and gave it a wry metaphoric spin: Giorno Poetry Systems," and "Thus began the rest of my life." Inspired by the contemporary art surrounding him, Giorno decided, "I wanted to do more then write poems. I wanted to broaden the ways that poets could connect with audiences." And in a burst of amazing prescience, the then young poet urged, "The poet should use modern technology and invent new methods for making and communicating their work." With that mind-set, in 1969, he created Dial_A_poem, recording poets ranging from Diane di Prima, Gregory Corso, Anne Waldman, John Ashbery, Patti Smith, and William Burroughs, and political messages from the Black Panthers and Abby Hoffman. Imagine how John would have conquered our current Zoom readings. My initial encounter with John was in the later 1960s, when as a high school kid I attended a reading, perhaps at St. Marks Poetry Project, but I can't testify to the venue. John's mesmerizing, electric performance was like nothing I had seen before, and the fact that he was gorgeous and sexy, dressed in tight black jeans and with a winning smile, certainly added to his allure. He was as electrifying and potent as any rock star. At the annual New Year's reading at St. Marks, John was always the pinnacle. He was the first performance poet I ever saw, and doubtlessly the best. John didn't read poetry as most of his contemporaries did. His words flowed in a rapid-fire torrent, an alchemy of simple strong statements memorized and delivered with shotgun...

Ian Curtis

Tim Richardson’s work considers some of the influences and material interventions – books, records, rooms, paint - that supported Ian Curtis’s breakthrough contributions to post-punk music as well as the cassette tapes that allowed high school kids in West Texas to find and love him afterward. Tim suggests that these material affordances are personal encounters that continue to register emotionally.

DEVELOPING STUDENTS’ DESCRIPTIVE WRITING ABILITY BY USING ANIMATION MOVIE

This study's objective is to study how using animated movie might help students improve their writing skills. One class served as the research sample for the pre-experimental methodology used in this study. In the first year of the MA Muhajirin, As'adiyah Kampiri, served as the research sample. Twenty students made up the study's sample. In order to select the sample for the study, the researcher employed the cluster random sampling technique and chose X A. Their understanding of the subject matter for text writing was made simple and enjoyable by the audio and visual mix. It was also acceptable for junior high school kids to get excited and interested in writing in order to hone their descriptive text-writing abilities. Writing tests were used to gather data on the students' descriptive writing abilities, which were then evaluated using SPSS 20. There were noticeable improvements, as seen by the pre-test and post-test results. The pupils' experimental post-test score of (82.11) was greater than their pre-test score, which served as evidence (52.63). The results also revealed that the probability value (0.00) was less than the level of significance (0.05). Based on the findings, the researcher concluded that using animation movies could help students in their first year of MA strengthen their descriptive writing skills. As'adiyah Kampiri Muhajirin.

Traits, Trends, and Trajectory of Tween and Teen Cyberbullies.

Digital communication has revolutionized the way children interact and maintain social relations. However, not every tween (8-12 years) or teen (13-18 years) is able to take full advantage of digital media and may cross personal and social boundaries causing distress, mostly to their own friends at school and beyond. This results in adverse health effects for both the cyberbullying perpetrator and the victim. Articles reviewed on elementary school children and adolescents, collected from two different databases, showed that the number of elementary school kids using smartphones has more than doubled in the past few years. Given this rise, the risk of cyberbullying has also increased. Not all elementary school kids have the required media literacy to understand that their friends have equal rights in the virtual world as they do in the schoolyard. Regardless, they still carry a smartphone with data, use computers, and other electronic media to bully, embarrass, exclude, or humiliate others, often through social networking sites. Moving from tweens to teens seems to worsen the cyberbully behavior and choices, with middle school kids facing the highest cyberbullying incidents followed by high school kids and then the elementary school kids. The anonymity of cyberspace and the perceived lack of consequences seems to embolden the cyberbully. Identifying the mindset of a cyberbully and those at high risk of becoming a cyberbully can help target intervention efforts where they are needed the most and prevent cyberbullying.

Haunted, and: Two Months before My Son Leaves for Belgium, We Visit the Zoo, and: My Mother the Mannequin

Haunted, and: Two Months before My Son Leaves for Belgium, We Visit the Zoo, and: My Mother the Mannequin Angela Voras-Hills (bio) Haunted Living alone, I'd call my mom, make her listen as I moved room to room looking in closets, behind doors, under the bed, anywhere a man could fit. I plugged my curling iron in each day before showering, imagined identifying a man in a lineup by his melted cheek, his missing eye. By then, I'd seen enough Law & Order reruns to play each scene out until sentencing. Ever since I was a kid, I've wanted things to be fair, believed hand-on-my-heart in liberty and justice for all, but I've also been so afraid. Mostly of a death I'd have to live through— drowning, fire, kidnapping that ends with me tied up in a hole filling with dirt. My daughter is scared of ghosts, believes they're in each corner of her dark room. I tell her they're not real, but once playing Ouija at the cabin with cousins, we contacted The Blue Ghost [End Page 116] and the light above us flickered blue/ burned out, left us in dark woods alone. So who's to say? I've never walked through a haunted house, staged or otherwise, but my cousin pissed her pants inside one, left a puddle someone had to clean. One year, the gun club sponsored a haunted hayride, and I rode through the forest, hay splintering my ass through jeans, and when a man jumped out of the dark with a chainsaw buzzing at us, I thought, "God, who knows if this is really part of it? Who gets paid to behave this way?" This was years before a man shot into a crowded concert from a hotel window in Vegas and before so many defended his rights. I watch tv, try to believe "these stories are fictional and do not depict any actual person or event." My daughter asks about monsters, and I say they're not real, but news breaks, and she knows I'm lying. If ghosts are real, what do they expect [End Page 117] from a four-year-old? By now, you'd think we'd all have heard the unsettled dead. You'd think something would've changed. Two Months before My Son Leaves for Belgium, We Visit the Zoo And a few months before that, the airport is bombed. I get messagemessage message: am I letting him go? And maybe I'm to blamebecause I never told them I'd once caught him running on the roofof our third floor, that he was once hit so hard by a car his shoesflew from his feet into the air (a story I heard as his friends jokedabout the lady who'd hit him, who'd cried and hugged him in the road,making sure he was ok), or that just three days before the bombing,a high school kid scrawled plans to shoot everyone on a bathroom stall.And so, two months before my son boards a plane to Belgium, we feedgiraffes, and he poses with peacocks. He wants to see reptiles and primates,his sister wants elephants, crocodiles, never stops running until she sees a babykangaroo—we all stop and watch him hop around his motherwho lays on the concrete floor, bored. He cleans her ears, jumpson her head to engage her in play, and she swats him away. He is alreadyhalf her size but clearly still a baby. He doesn't give up until finallyshe stands, and I say I think he'll climb into her pouch! My son doesn'tbelieve the joey will fit, and I tell him he will fit, and then, an illusion—the pouch one minute tucked against the kangaroo's belly, stretches,touches the ground as the joey climbs in headfirst, shuffles and turns,settling in. After that, there is little to see. Black paws peek from the belly.The mother nibbles her fingers, drags her baby toward a food bowl, and Ifollow her eyes down the dark...

Art of Characterization in “Thank You, Ma'am” by Langston Hughes

Langston Hughes was an American artist, writer, and dramatist whose African-American subjects made him an essential supporter of the Harlem Renaissance of the 1920s. Langston Hughes was conceived on February 1, 1902, in Joplin, Missouri. He distributed his first lyric in 1921. He went to Columbia University, yet left following one year to travel. He proceeded to compose incalculable works of verse, writing and plays, and in addition a prominent section for the Chicago Defender. He passed away from this world on May 22, 1967. (Editors, 2014) When you were younger, has anyone treated you good or bad according to your behavior? Or do you remember any incident of your life in which you made a mistake and someone offered you a chance for changing your life? Langston Hughes' short story, “Thank You, Ma'am”, distributed in 1958, catches the two circumstances. Langston Hughes was a vital and productive essayist amid the Harlem Renaissance of the mid twentieth century. He expounded on African-American life and experience. Much thanks to You Ma'am is about what happens when a high school kid and a more seasoned working lady crash on a Harlem road. There are three major topics present in “Thank You, Ma'am”: Forgiveness and Empathy, the Power of Love and Trust, and Christian Charity. At the point when Roger first grabs the handbag of Mrs. Luella Bates Washington Jones, she wrestles him and hauls him to her outfitted room at the back of a house. The peak of the story is when Roger does not leave.

What color is your parachute?

In the summer of 1986, I found myself at yet another church camp for middle and high school kids. I was standing in a concrete shower that did not drain well, ankle‐deep in cool water. It was my job to travel around the country, especially in the summer, recruiting young people to consider matriculating at the faith‐based college at which I was employed.
