Evaluation on the automotive skill competency test through ‘discontinuity’ model and the competency test management of vocational education school in Central Java, Indonesia

This article provides an alternative competency test model for vocational education schools in Central Java, Indonesia which particularly for automotive skill competency in order to replace the current competency test model that has been implemented for several decades which the author's concern about the students' accomplishment during the competency test, aimed to improve competency test results to increase the students' job opportunity in the labor market. Currently, the applied competency test model is the ‘Continuity’ model, where the students are given five tasks and should be finished within five hours with limited break time. This model tends to increase students' fatigue and stress levels. Consequently, the students lose their focus and concentration which adversely impacts their competency test results. In this study, the new competency test model namely the ‘Discontinuity’ competency test model was proposed aiming to overcome the issue of the ‘Continuity’ model. To research the effect of the ‘Discontinuity’ model implementation on the students' competency test results and vocational school competency test management, a study was done among 100 students and 50 teachers in 10 vocational education schools around Central Java, Indonesia. The results show that the ‘Discontinuity’ competency test model gives a significant improvement in the students' competency test scores. This reasonably happened due to the implementation of the ‘Discontinuity’ model gives the students time to break for an hour of each competency task. Without this break time, fatigue and stress levels of the students will significantly increase which adversely affect the students' competency final score. In addition, the new management of the competency test was proposed in this research.

Deradicalization of Qur'an Exegesis in Islamic Boarding Schools in Central Java

<p>Since its establishment in the 13th century, Islamic boarding schools have played a key role in deradicalization using the exegesis of the Qur'an in Indonesia. The diversity of Islamic boarding schools is the result of the creativity of the ulama in acculturating the culture of the local Muslim community with the kyai as the main driver. As an Islamic educational institution, Islamic boarding schools integrate with the community in performing spiritual worship, educating, and integrating normative culture in religion. Islamic boarding schools create a harmonious, pluralist, and inclusive Muslim community. Nowadays, Islamic boarding schools face accusations from the West as an institution that produces radicals and terrorists. Bombings in Indonesia are mostly done by alumni of Islamic boarding schools. Bomb documents from JW Marriott and Ritz-Carlton hotels belonging to Jamaah Islamiyah (JI) contain information that 141 Islamic boarding schools and 388 Islamic leaders have joined JI. This study aims to complement the shortcomings of existing studies by highlighting the role of Islamic boarding schools in deradicalization using the exegesis of the Qur’an for students in Central Java so that they can avoid radicalism and terrorism. This study is crucial to answer negative accusations against Islamic boarding schools and encourage the creation of moderate exegeses. To elaborate on this effort, the researcher uses the social dialectical theory of Peter L. Berger and Thomas Luckmann, the concept of non-violent Islam from Abdurrahman Wahid, and the concept of Zamakhsyari Dhofier's Islamic boarding schools using socio-anthropological perspectives.</p>

Gender and Environmental Literacy on Islamic-based High School Students Under Spiritual Values

Environmental literacy may lead someone to act more responsibly towards the environment. This study aims to analyze gender differences in the environmental literacy of Islamic-based high school students. Although there have been many studies on similar topics, there is not much research found in the perspective of Islamic-based students, where they practice Islamic spiritual values about environmental sustainability. This study uses a quantitative approach using the multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) method to determine the effect of gender differences on students' environmental literacy levels. The sampling technique used is questionnaire distribution to as many as 53 students at a high school in Central Java who are randomly selected. Three dimensions of environmental literacy are analyzed; namely knowledge, attitudes, and pro-environmental behavior. The results of the analysis suggest that the students' literacy level is in a good category, which is at 80.67%. Islamic values that have been attached to students are believed to contribute to the level of environmental literacy of students. Then, the results also indicate those female students have better literacy levels in all dimensions. However, the results of the analysis found there is not enough evidence to suggest that male and female students differ significantly based on environmental literacy.

Cohesion and Coherence of Students Recount Texts in Indonesia

This study aimed at analyzing the cohesion and coherence of recount texts and their implication to teaching writing. The data was fifteen recount texts which were non-randomly chosen from the first-grade students of high school in Central Java, Indonesia. This was qualitative research employing cohesion theory by Halliday and Hasan (1976) and thematic progression proposed by Butt et al. (1995). The result of this research showed that most of the cohesive devices employed by the students were personal reference with 58.11%; demonstrative reference and definite article with 7.18%; comparative reference with 0.93%), lexical (repetition 22.21%; synonym 0.66%; superordinate 0.13%), conjunction (temporal conjunction 7.45%; adversative conjunction: 1.33%; additive conjunction 1.06%; causal conjunction 0.66%), and ellipsis with 2%. The presuppositions of the presupposed items and presupposing items were achieved anaphorically and cataphorically; most of them were anaphoric. The distances of the presuppositions were in the forms of immediate ties, mediated ties, and non-mediated ties. Furthermore, immediate ties occurred extensively. Based on the analysis, most of the texts were cohesive due to the achievement of presupposing and presupposed items in every sentence of the texts. Then, coherence of the students recount texts was achieved by employing three kinds of patterns: reiteration/ constant, zig-zag, and multiple thematic progression patterns. Most of the texts were developed by using a reiteration/ constant pattern. Based on the analysis, most texts were not coherent because of the unrelated clauses. As the result, they broke the signposted progression of the texts. The finding was expected to possibly contribute to the process of teaching writing by encouraging the students to create a good text in a cohesive and coherent way.
