Using Journal Entries and Assigned Writing to Promote Students’ Critical Thinking

http://repository.uhamka.ac.id/4838/

This research aims to determine the ability of journal entries and assigned writing to foster students’ critical thinking. A total of six components, namely, interpretation, analysis, evaluation, inference, explanation, and self-regulation, were used to carry out this study. Data were obtained from a total of twelve (12) students majoring in English Education from one of the universities in Jakarta by using semi-structured interview and text-analysis. Journal entries submitted by the students as a course prerequisite were evaluated and analyzed by two raters. The result showed that many students lack important critical thinking skills required for a successful study, and to acquire good employment after graduating from college. In addition, the use of journal entries and assigned writing has the ability to promote the critical thinking level to varying degrees.

The Role of Critical Reading to Promote Students’ Critical Thinking and Reading Comprehension

The Role of Critical Reading to Promote Students’ Critical Thinking and Reading Comprehension

http://repository.uhamka.ac.id/4841/

Developing students’ critical thinking and reading comprehension is crucial, particularly for those in colleges, because they need to read numerous scientific journals and textbooks written in English. Therefore, students need to employ critical reading strategies to raise their critical thinking skills for a successful academic life. However, current studies have shown a lack of critical thinking strategies among Indonesian students, thereby leading to various academic problems, particularly the inability to comprehend English. Therefore, this research aims to explore critical reading’s role to support students’ critical thinking and reading comprehension skills when reading a text. This is a qualitative research with the purposive random technique used to obtain data from seven (7) EFL non–English major undergraduate students in their 2nd semester through three (3) short argumentative texts, a semi-structured interview, and students’ answers in written forms. The results showed that students developed their critical thinking skills and improved their reading comprehension in varying degrees by exposure to numerous tasks.

L2 WRITING STRATEGIES USED BY HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS

L2 WRITING STRATEGIES USED BY HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS

http://repository.uhamka.ac.id/4842/

Abstract
Writing is a challenging activity that comprises a complex cognitive process, as well as various strategies. Furthermore, minimal research has been performed on using writing strategies among High School students in the EFL context, specifically in Indonesia. Although the applications of effective strategies have been evidenced to be helpful, many students are not aware of using them to alleviate their writing quality. Therefore, this study aims at investigating English L2 strategies when writing recount texts using three skilled English students. This is a qualitative research that utilized purposive sampling and the instruments employed were Think-Aloud Protocols (TAPs), observation, retrospective, and semi-structured interviews. Following the analysis and interpretation of the data obtained from these instruments, the acquired results demonstrated that they used similar writing strategies. However, the occurrences from this use differed from one individual to another as some were unaware that the writing process was recursive and not linear. Therefore, this study implies that students need to be encouraged to apply different strategies to develop their writing, and teachers also, were required to explicitly teach these strategies as it will lead students to use them effectively. Training on the use of writing strategies is needed for Indonesian students to support and help them write efficiently in English.

L2 Writing Strategies Used by EFL Graduate Students

L2 Writing Strategies Used by EFL Graduate Students

http://repository.uhamka.ac.id/4843/

This study investigates the writing strategies and the predominantly strategies used by
four Indonesian graduate students when writing in L2 (English). They were divided into
2 groups, skilled and less skilled writers, to examine what strategies they applied when
writing. The main instrument of this study is Think Aloud Protocols (TAPs). The analysis
of data collected discovered some findings: (1) both skilled and less skilled writers used
varied strategies. However, the frequency of using each strategy was different. Skilled
writers used each strategy in high frequency. On the other hand, less skilled writers only
used each strategy in low frequency, while skilled writers understand the recursive nature
of writing. (2) Skilled writers used reading and rereading strategies in high frequency for
several purposes: revising and editing the text, developing ideas, and getting new ideas,
while less skilled writers rarely used those strategies. They wrote whatever ideas came
into their mind, and reread the text once in a while. These findings suggest that effective
writing strategies should be introduced explicitly when student writers have already
mastered the foundation of writing. Unfortunately, they are seldom guided on the use of
writing strategies in the process of their writing. In fact, effective writing strategies and
the frequency of using each strategy could help them become good writers and influence
the quality of their writing. Based on these findings some suggestions are discussed.

KULIT BUAH NANAS (Ananas comosus (L.) Merr) SEBAGAI ANTIHIPERLIPIDEMIA PADA HAMSTER

KULIT BUAH NANAS (Ananas comosus (L.) Merr) SEBAGAI
ANTIHIPERLIPIDEMIA PADA HAMSTER

http://repository.uhamka.ac.id/4846/

Fraksi etanol 70% kulit buah nanas (Ananas comosus (L) Merr) memberikan aktivitas
terbaik dalam penanganan hiperlipidemia. Hal ini diduga karena terdapat kandungan antioksidan
flavonoid, saponin dan tanin. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui aktivitas fraksi kulit
buah nanas dalam menurunkan kadar kolesterol total, trigliserida, LDL dan meningkatkan kadar
HDL darah hamster hiperlipidemia. Ekstraksi kulit buah nanas dilakukan dengan cara maserasi
bertingkat yang menggunakan 3 pelarut yaitu n-Heksan, etil asetat dan etanol 70%. Uji fitokimia
dilakukan dengan metode kromatografi lapis tipis. Hamster syrian jantan yang telah
diaklimatisasi diberikan pakan tinggi lemak kecuali kontrol normal. Kelompok kontrol positif
yang diberikan atorvastatin 0,099 mg/80gBB dan fenofibrat 0,99 mg/80gBB. Kelompok uji 1, 2,
dan 3 diberi fraksi etanol 70% kulit buah nanas dengan dosis 140, 240 dan 340 mg/kgBB
sedangkan kelompok kontrol normal dan kontrol negatif tidak diberi perlakuan. Hasil penelitian
menunjukkan dosis 3 memiliki aktivitas tertinggi terhadap penurunan kadar kolesterol total
(59,83%), trigliserida (56,69%), LDL (50,25%), dan peningkatan kadar HDL (50,67%) pada
darah hamster. Kesimpulan dari penelitian ini dosis 3 fraksi etanol 70% kulit buah nanas
memiliki aktivitas yang sebanding dengan fenofibrat dosis 0,99 mg/KgBB dan atorvastatin dosis
0,167 mg/kgBB.
