The advancement of technology has a significant impact on teaching English nowadays. One of the tools that can quickly provide access to language learning is a mobile device. Moreover, the rising use of mobile devices or Mobile Assisted Language Learning (MALL) has been closely linked to the role of EFL teachers. Hence, this study aimed to investigate teachers' perspectives towards using the "Lets View" application for elementary students in the EFL classroom. The study was conducted by implementing a qualitative method. The instrument used in this study was questionnaires and interviews. The subject of this study was six English elementary school teachers who teach using the LV application in a private school in Surabaya. The results showed that using the new learning media, such as the LV application in EFL classrooms, is very useful for teachers. It is due to that this application can use mobile phones or iPad as the second portable blackboard for teaching reading, writing, and vocabulary and giving quizzes for beginner-level students. The researchers also revealed four obstacles EFL teachers face when implementing the LV application: internet connection, time limitation, lack of teachers' competence, and lack of student's English skills. Besides, several ways to increase students' learning engagement include allowing students to raise their hands, playing the game on the application, and guessing English vocabulary by giving pictures that appeared on it. To sum up, teachers viewed the LV application as suitable media for learning English at school.

The Role of Students’ Beliefs, Parents' Educational Level, and The Mediating Role of Attitude and Motivation in Students’ Mathematics Achievement

Investigating factors affecting students’ academic performance seems a hard job for researchers on the empirical front. Beliefs, parents' educational background, motivation, and attitudes have been proven significantly influence achievement. However, concurrent research on the relationship among these variables seems scarce. Therefore, to contribute to this gap in knowledge, the purpose of this study is to examine the structural relationships among beliefs, parents' educational level, attitude, motivation, and achievement in mathematics learning. We selected 30 classes randomly from six schools in Surabaya, Indonesia. This study involved 894 fifth- and sixth-grade students (448 boys and 446 girls). Structural equation modeling results showed that this model predicts students’ achievement in mathematics (R2 = 0.49). Beliefs are positively associated with students’ achievement (β = 0.20, p < 0.001), attitude (β = 0.82, p < 0.001), and motivation (β = 0.68, p < 0.001). Parents' educational level is positively associated with achievements (β = 0.17, p < 0.001) and motivation (β = 0.07, p = 0.04). Beliefs were indirectly associated with achievements through attitude (β = 0.31, p < 0.001) and motivation (β = 0.08, p = 0.01). The indirect association between parents' educational level and achievement through motivation was insignificant. This study is valuable because it helps unpack the relationship between beliefs, parents' educational level, attitudes, motivation, and achievement.

METS-IR vs. HOMA-AD and Metabolic Syndrome in Obese Adolescents.

Obesity is associated with chronic low-grade inflammation in which is the key in the pathogenesis Insulin Resistance (IR) and Metabolic Syndrome (MetS). Homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) has been validated as a surrogate measure of IR. The combination of HOMA and adiponectin, known as HOMA-AD was proposed to measure IR in adults. However, study on these indicators in obese adolescents is still limited. This study aims to analyse METS-IR and HOMA-AD to determine MetS and IR in obese adolescents. A cross-sectional study was conducted on obese adolescents who looked healthy from secondary schools in Surabaya and Sidoarjo, East Java, aged 12-18 years. Subjects were selected randomly and grouped into 2, namely MetS and non-MetS based on IDF 2000. Anthropometric examination and blood measurements, such as fasting blood glucose levels, lipid profiles, insulin, and adiponectin level were carried out according to standards. HOMA-IR, HOMA-AD, AND METS-IR were calculated using formula. Spearman's Rho correlation were conducted between assessment tools (METS-IR and HOMA-AD) to identify the correlation with MetS component (lipid profile, FBG, and blood pressures). A receiving operation curve (ROC) performed to find area under curve (AUC) and cut-off points based on the biggest Youden index. A total of 250 subjects were enrolled the study, and found 103 subjects had MetS. METS-IR correlates with all lipid profile and blood pressures (p?<?0.05). While HOMA-AD correlated with TG (r?=?0.356, p?=?0.000), systolic-BP (r?=?0.188, p?=?0.003), and HDL-c levels (r=-0.249, p?=?0.000). Cut-off point for METS-IR to determines MetS in obese adolescents was???46.53 (sensitivity of 64.24% and specificity of 75.76%), while HOMA-AD was???0.43 (sensitivity of 71.52% and specificity of 59.60%). Cut-off point for METS-IR index to determines IR was???52.01 (sensitivity of 83.44% and specificity of 44.44%). Cut-off point for HOMA-AD to determine IR was???0.37 (sensitivity of 74.17% and specificity of 84.85%). METS-IR is better surrogate to determine MetS with cut-off point of???46.53, while HOMA-AD is better to determine IR with cut-off point???0.37 in obese adolescents. J. Med. Invest. 70 : 7-16, February, 2023.
