This study aims to describe the improvement of elementary school students' reading comprehension skills through blended learning. The population in this study was all fifth grade students of an international school in Serpong, Tangerang. Using a purposive sampling technique, in total 20 foreign students were involved as a sample in this study. Data were collected using tests and observations and then analyzed using the N-Gain test to see the improvement of students' reading comprehension skills. Descriptive analysis was also performed to see students' activities during the learning process. The results showed that the average students' scores on pre-test and post-test increased by 28 points with an average gain of n-gain of 0.84 in a high category. During the learning process, students also looked happy and enthusiastic in learning Indonesian. Learning Indonesian through blended learning was shown to improve the reading comprehension skills of foreign students. Therefore, blended learning can be used an alternative for solving the problem of limited time and the amount of materials that must be learned, thus giving a positive impact on the reading comprehension skills of foreign students learning Indonesian.
This research aimed to identify the influence of two learning models and learning reliance on students' scientific literacy. The method used was the treatment by 2 x 2 level. The participants were 36 students from the Department of Biology Education who were grouped into two categories based on the reliance questionnaire score, i.e., categories of high and low. The data were collected through scientific literacy tests, data analysis using two-path ANOVA formula followed by the Tukey test. The results showed that there was an influence on the interactions between the learning models and learning reliance on students' scientific literacy seen from the ANOVA test results which obtained F = 29.88, α = 0.05. The Tukey test analysis identified; (1) Scientific literacy of college students who used the Science, Technology, Society (STS) model was higher than those who adopted the Problem-Based Learning (PBL) Model with Q = 4,74 at α = 0.05; (2) The scientific literacy of students having high learning reliance using the STS learning model was better than those applying the PBL with Q = 11,78 at α = 0.05; (3) The scientific literacy of students having low learning reliance using the STS learning model was lower than those using the PBL with Q=5.07 at α = 0.05. It concluded that the STS learning model could improve the students' scientific literacy. In other words, the STS learning was more useful for the high reliance students than those with low reliance.
Sriwijaya University is one of the state universities located on the island of Sumatra, precisely in south Sumatra. It has 10 Faculties, and one of them is faculty of Computer Science (Fasilkom). As one of the best universities with A accreditation, Sriwijaya University always improves the learning system to make it easier for academic community to do teaching and learning process to be more effective and efficient. Therefore, its faculty of Computer Science also applies the learning process using e-learning. That is why we need a method of Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) to analyze the level of student acceptance of the implementation of e-learning because with the e-learning, lecturers, students and employees in Fasilkom can conduct the learning process more easily and quickly. In addition, with the implementation of e-learning, students and lecturers can do the teaching-learning process without having face-to-face sessions in the classroom. The students can also directly interact and discuss each other in terms of group work.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
