Exploring a Figure of Speech: The Realisation of Onomatopoeia in “Aquaman: Through Fire and Water” Webcomic

The present study analyses the realisation of onomatopoeia and determines the extent of the onomatopoeic words in creating meaningful imagery, illustrating actions as well as evoking readers’ sensory associations toward the storyline of a webcomic entitled “Aquaman: Through Fire and Water”. Qualitatively, this study used Krippendorff’s (2018) Content Analysis (CA) as an approach. Methodologically, Miles & Huberman’s (1994) interactive qualitative data analysis was applied to analyse the data. Respectively, Bredin’s (1996) framework of Onomatopoeia was also adopted to look at how the onomatopoeic words are realised. The findings showed that Direct Onomatopoeia (50%) is the most occurring type from 26 onomatopoeic words found, followed by Associative Onomatopoeia (46,15%) and Exemplary Onomatopoeia (3,84%). The realisations of the onomatopoeic words reveal that the integration of the onomatopoeic realisations with the aesthetic depiction of the images throughout the webcomic can fairly create meaningful imagery and illustrate actions of the webcomic. Thus, it evokes readers’ sensory associations toward the scenes and storyline of the webcomic. Keyword: Onomatopoeia, Figure of Speech, Webcomic, Aquaman: Through Fire and Water

Vocational education and training in South Africa: leaders' perceptions of a mentoring framework in a professional development programme

PurposeThe South African vocational education and training (VET) sector is required by legislation to redefine postsecondary education, advance industrialisation and expand the job market to address unemployment in the country. Yet, VET leaders' heterogenous educational and occupational backgrounds do not enable them to address the needs of the VET sector. Continuous professional development of leaders in the education sector needs to include support structures such as mentoring.Design/methodology/approachThe present study sought to investigate how VET managers in South Africa perceive three different types of mentoring – individual, peer group and expert-based key performance area (KPA) mentoring – during a part-time professional leadership development programme. Using interactive qualitative analysis (IQA), the authors collected and analysed data from focus group discussions (n = 24) and individual interviews (n = 21) from two cohorts of the programme.FindingsThe results revealed that individual mentoring represented the most important driving mechanism, followed by peer group mentoring and expert-based KPA mentoring. Participants identified leadership as a prerequisite for their development. Emotions formed the final outcome of the mentoring framework.Research limitations/implicationsBased on the findings, the authors suggest investigating the role played by leaders' interpersonal competences such as emotional competence in the workplace. Additionally, research needs to clarify if and how mentoring can support leaders to develop interpersonal competences in formal and informal settings.Originality/valueThe study offers empirical evidence on a three-pillar mentoring framework adopted in a professional development programme for leaders in VET in South Africa. It highlights the importance of individual, social and emotional factors.

From New Media to New Piety: The Construction of Muhammadiyah Digital Piety Ideas

Muktamar is the highest consultative forum in Muhammadiyah, held every five years to discuss and formulate various decisions on responding to the ummah and nationality issues. At the 48th Muktamar in 2022 in Surakarta, Muhammadiyah discussed six strategic issues, one of which was digital piety. This is very interesting because apart from Muhammadiyah, no Islamic organization in Indonesia has officially made the issue of digital piety a strategic issue to be discussed at its Muktamar. Therefore this study aims to analyze the construction of the idea of digital piety by Muhammadiyah. This study is qualitative research with a literature study approach. The data was obtained by collecting print and digital literature related to the idea of digital piety by Muhammadiyah. The data obtained were then analyzed using the Miles and Huberman interactive qualitative analysis model. This analysis model has three stages: data reduction, presentation, and conclusion. Analysis of the data obtained leads to two findings in this study. First, digital piety is interpreted by Muhammadiyah as behaving and doing activities in the digital space accompanied by morality and ethics based on Islamic values. At this level, digital piety will lead to more civilized interactions and activities in the digital space. Second, three dimensions build the construction of Muhammadiyah’s digital piety ideas, namely the ideological dimension, the normative dimension, and the internalization dimension. The three dimensions are related to one another to create a civilized digital culture.

Is persistent “loadshedding” pulling the plug on agriculture in the Western Cape, South Africa?

ABSTRACT Besides a few industry reports on the impact of loadshedding on agriculture, there is a dearth of literature on the electricity dependence and the impact of loadshedding on the South African agricultural sector. We aim to make two main contributions. First, we analyse the electricity dependence of the agricultural sector and assess how loadshedding impacts the sector's various economic activities. Second, we employ Interactive Qualitative Analysis (IQA) to determine the cause-and-effect relationships of loadshedding on the agricultural sector. We purposively selected 27 senior managers from the Western Cape agricultural value chain to participate in the study. The IQA reveals eight categories influenced by loadshedding: operational capacity and scheduling, input supply and availability, output quality and volume, financial implications, biological and fixed assets, socio-economics, and product selling price. The biggest cause for disruption is operational capacity and scheduling, and the biggest effect is product selling price. Solving the loadshedding problem and preventing knock-on effects require collaboration between firms, industry, and government. The government needs to create an enabling environment: sound regulatory framework, incentives to invest in renewable energy, and access to low-cost capital. The industry then takes responsibility for disseminating government strategies to firms and providing feedback based on firm-level experience.

PERSEPSI GURU PAUD TENTANG PENTINGNYA PELATIHAN KURIKULUM MERDEKA

For curriculum development and classroom implementation to be successful, teachers must be fully supported. The process of developing and implementing the curriculum is very dependent on the teacher, for this reason all teachers must receive ongoing training in order to increase their professionalism and understanding of the applicable curriculum. In this study, an interactive qualitative data analysis model was used which was adopted from a qualitative descriptive research method where the researcher collected data repeatedly so that the results obtained were more accurate. This research was conducted in one of the private PAUD schools in the Aceh Tamiang area with the subject being teachers who had attended independent learning training. The findings obtained from this research are that teachers are very enthusiastic to be able to understand the concepts in the independent curriculum so that they can apply them in classroom learning. Teachers feel very responsible for implementing this independent curriculum in the learning process because teachers play a very important role in the development and implementation of the curriculum in schools. Based on this research, it can be concluded that the independent curriculum makes students more free to learn and develop themselves. The independent curriculum is also more interactive, providing opportunities for students to explore their insights. Therefore the teacher becomes a vital facilitator in exploring, overseeing and leading the development of students' skills. Independent curriculum training is the main medium for aligning perceptions regarding the principles and objectives of implementing the curriculum, so that a truly independent learning climate will be created and students will have strong resilience in studying or constructing problem solving

The Implementation of Daily Five Literacy Framework in Improving English Literacy Skills for Primary Program

The obstacles encountered in online learning are teacher shortages and technical difficulties, barriers, resources, social contacts, and difficulties in delivering subjects and managing time to engage with students and evaluate their work. This study explores teachers' perceptions of the influence of the Daily Five Literacy Framework on literacy programs in the classroom. This preliminary research is designed as qualitative research following the interactive qualitative data analysis model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña. The study included three teachers in three different grades of fourth grade, who were observed over five days as they implemented the five habits in the Daily Five Literacy Framework in their classrooms. The research results revealed that the three teachers consistently applied the five habits, with relatively low fluctuations. However, the implementation was generally less intensive on Day 3 for the three teachers because they had to complete and submit their teaching administration to the school every Wednesday, which happened to be the 3rd Day of implementation. As a preliminary study, these findings indicate the need for further implementation of the literacy framework to reveal teacher consistency, the effectiveness of the framework for building literacy habits, and to identify factors outside of instructional design that may negatively impact the successful implementation of the framework.

Exploring the mental models of university students’ attitudes toward older adults in Taiwan

ABSTRACT Taiwan is facing population aging, a decreasing fertility rate, and reduced adherence to the traditional practice of filial piety. Society as a whole has negative stereotypes about older adults, who are regarded as unproductive burdens on their families and society. Older adults experience ageism from others as well as their own as they grow older, they even have low regard for themselves, seeing themselves as weak, sickly, and unable to work. How can we explore the exact attitudes of younger people toward older adults? Doing so is crucial for society to reverse its ageism against the older adult and foster harmonious intergenerational interactions by promoting positive concepts about aging. This study employed interactive qualitative analysis(IQA), which is a rigorous and systematic mixed method of research, to ensure the consistency, coherence, and structural quality of focus group members’ opinions, which were consolidated to identify the components of the problem. Quantitative exploratory power analysis was then performed to produce a mindmap with causal relationships. Then, interviews were also conducted for data validation and interpretation. The key research results were as follows: (1)the four key mental thoughts of university students’ attitudes toward older adults: Traditional Mind-set(TM), Physiological State(PS), Life Attitude(LA), and Social Interaction(SI). (2) the university students’ mindmap to older adults is Traditional Mind-set-orientated and Physiological State-orientated. (3)the five propositions were validated: TM➔FC, TM➔LA, PS➔LA, NM➔LA, and NM➔SI. In future research, we can by defining these five propositions as hypotheses, develop a scale to measure the variable, and conduct quantitative empirical evidence.
