A comparison of personality type congruence with learning achievement of students from the primary school teacher education program at Adzkia University

Personality type can be defined as an image of oneself manifested publicly. John Lewis Holland argues that personality type influences career choices and job satisfaction. Holland's Career Theory states that the most congruent personality types for a teacher's career are social, entrepreneurial, and artistic personality. The personality types that are less suited for a teaching role include the investigative, conventional, and realistic types. This research aimed to compare the congruence or incompatibility of personality types with the learning achievement of Primary School Teacher Education students at Adzkia University. This comparative quantitative study used the personality test arranged based on the concept of Hexagonal Theory by John Holland. The research sample comprised 161 selected using a simple random sampling technique. The research results show that 60% of the students' personality is congruent with their job as a teacher, whereas the remaining 40% shows the opposite. The average academic achievement of student’s personality congruent with their job as a teacher is 81.6, while student personality opposite is 78.9. There is only a 2.1 point difference between the two. Furthermore, there is no difference in the learning achievement of students with the congruent personality type and those without. The hypothesis test result shows that personality type has no impact on learning achievement.

Fostering Moderate Islamic Values: Implementing a Design Model for Counter-Radicalization in Higher Education

This study delves into the construction of a counter-radicalization model within Islamic higher education, specifically at Sunan Ampel State Islamic University in Surabaya. The imperative to curb the spread of radicalism within campus communities highlights the significance of cultivating a comprehensive grasp of moderate Islam among students. Central to this research is the examination of the Islamic Studies course within the Primary School Teacher Education Program. Employing a research and development methodology, the study employs pre-post test designs, including control groups, to discern the effectiveness of the proposed model. Notably, the course design departs from conventional non-religious subjects, incorporating both direct and indirect instructional approaches. Post-treatment results reveal a noteworthy enhancement in students' exhibition of moderate Islamic attitudes, with performance levels escalating from an initial 60.71% to a promising 70.00%. Statistical scrutiny underscores the model's efficacy, affirming its potency in fostering moderation-based insights among students. Ultimately, this investigation underscores the model's superiority in enhancing students' comprehension in contrast to conventional pedagogical strategies.

HABITUAL USE OF LOCAL LANGUAGE: FACTORAFFECTING DIFFICULTY IN ACCEPTING ENGLISH AMONG STUDENTS

This study investigated the relationship between habitual use of locallanguage and students' difficulty accepting English. The research wasconducted using a qualitative study. The data is collected through surveyquestionnaires, observation, and focus group discussions. The participants in this study are 78 students from four study programs at Universitas Muhadi Setiabudi. These are Indonesian Language and Literature Education, Primary School Teacher Education, Pharmacy, and Nutrition Study Program at the undergraduate level. The results showed that habitual use of local language significantly affected students' difficulty in accepting and adopting English. The researcher has found that the frequent use of the local language can create a linguistic comfort zone, making it challenging to learn and accept a foreign language like learning English. Ultimately, the success of learning English depends on a variety of factors, including the student's motivation, learning style, and exposure to the language. Furthermore, the student's motivation, learning style, and exposure to the language were also important factors contributing to the resistance towards learning English.

Same grade for different reasons, different grades for the same reason?

It is widely acknowledged in research that common criteria and aligned standards do not result in consistent assessment of such a complex performance as the final undergraduate thesis. Assessment is determined by examiners’ understanding of rubrics and their views on thesis quality. There is still a gap in the research literature about how analytic and holistic judgments are made and how they are integrated in decisions about the final grade. This interview study aims to identify the sources of inconsistency in analytic and holistic assessment. Ten examiners assessed three final undergraduate theses from a primary school teacher education programme at a Swedish university. The analytic assessment focused on two parts: theoretical framework and academic language style, which revealed inconsistencies in assessment. The analysis of the holistic assessment showed how examiners weighted different dimensions of the thesis and how they made judgements for the final grade awarded. The findings reveal several sources of inconsistency, such as examiners’ own constructs, their interpretations and expectations about students’ ability to manage academic work. The study calls for further discussion about whether it is possible to make criterion-based assessment reliable.

Science Content Knowledge of Pre-Service Teachers in Biology Elementary School Level

Expectations for qualified primary school teachers in Indonesia are very high. The public is aware that education in elementary schools is an essential part of introducing a scientific discipline to students, one of which is science. To provide optimal science learning, teachers must have qualified Science Content Knowledge (SCK) so that students have no misconceptions and confusion. This study aims to analyze the mastery of prospective SCK teachers on biology subjects at the elementary level. The research method in this study is a descriptive method using a survey design. Data were obtained from 284 primary school teacher education program participants at the end of the semester. The instrument is a multiple-choice test with four answer choices with 40 questions. The device was then given to the participants and analyzed by calculating the percentage and putting it into a predetermined category. This study found that the mastery of pre-service teacher SCK needs to be considered because the average category of understanding is in the "Very Poor" and "Less" types. This study suggests the need for a professional program for both teachers and pre-service teachers who can combine SCK and pedagogy so that the learning provided is more optimal and offers a good learning experience.

Who are the music student teachers in Norwegian generalist teacher education? A cross-sectional survey

Identifying Science Content Knowledge of Primary School Pre-Service Teachers at the Essential Physics Concepts

Science Content Knowledge (SCK) teachers are one of the main things in providing science learning that follows scientific conceptions. One of the causes of misconceptions or inappropriate concepts that students have regarding science is the teacher. So, the purpose of this study is to identify pre-service teachers at primary school about the SCK. The research method used in this study is a quantitative method with a survey design. Data were collected from 131 participants from the Primary School Teacher Education Program in the early semester. The essential concepts in science (physics) used in the study are elementary and junior high school. The instrument is a multiple-choice test with four answers choices with 40 questions. The study finds that for almost every essential physics/science concept, the SCK of the pre-service teachers needs to be improved. This result contradicts our expectations considering the concepts being tested are for elementary and junior high schools. SCK is playing an important element in giving the quality of learning science and building and preparing students to meet the next educational level. Thus, teaching physics from an early age must be taught conceptually and presented with appropriate representations to make it easier for students to learn.

Survey of Mentorship Model in Teaching Practicum of Student Teachers in Primary School Teacher Education Program: A Mixed Method Study

Recently, Ministry of Education of China issued a serial of teacher education policies, including Opinions on Implementation of Excellent Teacher Training Plan and Opinions on Implementation of Excellent Teacher Training Plan 2.0, both of which clearly require the implementation of mentorship model supported by university mentors and school supervisors cooperatively. So, what is the advance and current situation of implementation of this mentorship model? Our study took student teachers majoring in primary education and their mentors and supervisors in Linyi University in 2016 as a case, and used mixed methods to survey 102 samples and in-depth interviewed 19 samples, involving 44 teachers and 63 students, in order to comprehensively explore current situation and existing problems of this mentorship model during teaching practicum period. Survey results showed that this mentorship model has not achieved ideal effect in some aspects, for example, frequencies and communication of mentoring. Interview results further indicated that there are still some problems in the implementation process of this mentorship model, such as insufficient number of mentors, imperfect evaluation mechanism for mentors, and poor communication between university mentors and school supervisors. Based on this analysis, we provided some specific advices in future, including: focusing on selection of mentors in universities and supervisors in primary schools; improving working mechanism of supervision, evaluation and reward and punishment; strengthening communication between mentors and supervisors.

Primary school pre-service teachers competence level of computational concepts in programming using Dr. Scratch

This descriptive research aimed at providing a general description of primary school pre-service teachers’ competence level of computational concepts in programming with Scratch using Dr. Scratch. This study analyzed Scratch projects made by 87 sophomore students of the Primary School Teacher Education Program of Sanata Dharma University as part of their Media Pembelajaran Berbasis ICT (MPBICT) course. The projects were then submitted to the Scratch Online Community platform and analyzed using a web tool called Dr. Scratch to analyze their competence level of computational concepts. The analysis results provided by Dr. Scratch showed that 75.86% of the Scratch projects belong to the category of developing projects while 22.99% of them were categorized as master projects, and only 1.15% of the projects could be labeled as basic projects. The results also revealed that the most common bad coding practices identified in the submitted projects were duplicated scripts and object namings. These results indicated that the primary school pre-service teachers of the Primary School Teacher Education Program of Sanata Dharma University had moderate competence level in integrating Scratch computational concepts such as flow control, data representation, synchronization, and user interactivity but the pre-service teachers still needed to be provided with more opportunities to work with other Scratch computational concepts such as abstraction, parallelism, and logic.
