Penelitian ini dilatarbelakangi oleh semakin menurunnya sikap nasionalisme
dikalangan mahasiswa. Pada saat ini nasionalisme seakan-akan tenggelam, kini
nasionalisme menghadapi tantangan besar dari pusaran peradaban baru bernama
globalisasi. Nasionalisme sebagai kemampuan dasar (basic drive) serta daya juang
(elan vital) dari sebuah bangsa bernama Indonesia sedang diuji fleksibilitasnya
dalam arti kemampuan untuk berubah sehingga selalu akurat dalam menjawab
tantangan jaman. Fleksibilitas tidaklah mengurangi jiwa nasionalisme, justu
sebaliknya menunjukkan begitu dalamnya nasionalisme mengakar sehingga dalam
waktu bersamaan tetap hidup dan terus-menerus bermetamorfosis.
Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui secara nyata tentang pengaruh
pendidikan sejarah terhadap sikap nasionalisme pada mahasiswa program studi
pendidikan sejarah FKIP UHAMKA Jakarta. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode
penelitian kuantitatif serta dianalisis juga dengan kualitatif.
Hasil penelitian memperlihatkan bahwa pendidikan sejarah mempunyai
berpengaruh terhadap sikap nasionalisme dengan hasil harga koefisien R sebesar
0.720 dengan taraf signifikansi 0.000< 0.05, sehingga memperoleh kesimpulan bahwa pengujian menolak H 0 dan menerima H 1 , yang berarti terdapat pengaruh yang signifikan dan positif dari variabel independen pendidikan sejarah terhadap sikap nasionalisme mahasiswa. Hal ini berarti 72% variasi pada sikap nasionalisme dapat dijelaskan dan dipengaruhi oleh variabel pendidikan sejarah, sedangkan sisanya sebesar 18% dijelaskan oleh sebab-sebab lain yang tidak dijelaskan dalam faktor ini. Hal ini menunjukkan besarnya peran pendidikan sejarah terhadap pembentukkan sikap nasionalisme di kalangan mahasiswa. Implikasi hasil penelitian mengisyaratkan bahwa sikap nasionalisme mahasiswa dapat tumbuh dan berkembang apabila pendidikan sejarah yang diberikan kepada mahasiswa dapat menarik dan tidak membosankan. Peran penting dosen sebagai pemegang kebijakan dalam menentukan pembelajaran di kelas tidak dapat diabaikan, karena itu dosen mutlak memiliki wawasan yang luas dan mengetahui berbagai metode dalam pendidikan sejarah sehingga dapat meningkatkan aktifitas dan kreatifitas mahasiswa dalam mengatasi kesulitankesulitan mahasiswa dalam pembelajaran sejarah.

Pembelajaran materi Sejarah merupakan cabang disiplin ilmu sosial dimana Sejarah
memberikan wawasan tentang peristiwa-peristiwa yang terjadi di masa lampau. Metode
pembelajaran yang digunakan pada saat masih kurang variasi dan masih didominasi oleh
guru. Tujuan pembuatan tulisan ini mencoba untuk mengkolaborasikan permainan tradisional
yang ada di daerah Betawi dalam pembelajaran IPS di pendidikan dasar dimana dalam
permainan tradisional memuat kearifan-kearifan lokal yang dapat dijadikan salah satu cara
untuk membentuk karakter dan membantu peserta didik dalam memahami materi yang
diterima. Diharapkan melalui permainan tradisional, peserta didik dapat mengembangkan
kecerdasan intelektual, emosional dan mampu mengembangkan kreatifitas sehingga
pembelajaran IPS khususnya materi Sejarah dapat lebih bermakna.

The present study aims to explore the types of Indonesian EFL students’ strategies to comprehend the economics texts. To identify the types of strategies, retrospections and reading comprehension tests were adopted and analyzed. The results revealed that most students with a low level of English proficiency remained more dependent on the bottom-up strategies than top-down strategies. However, using the bottom-up strategies had facilitated the students comprehend the economics texts. Thus, in spite of its limitation, the study has some implications to ESAP reading in EFL classrooms.

This paper describes the use of single-correct answer (SCA) and multiple-correct answer (MCA) in assessing secondary school students’ grammar proficiency in Indonesia. There were 154 students from year 11aged 15 year old that participated in the study. From the total 154 students; 98 students participated in the SCA test session, 103 students complete the MCA test, and 84 students filled in the survey. In addition, 52 students were recorded to attend the three sessions from the study: SCA, MCA and survey. Result of the study has shown that the design of SCA and MCA in multiple-choice the computer assisted language testing (CALT) program corresponds the main principle of language testing similar to the paper-based testing format. Although the design of both SCA and MCA tests fulfilled the requirement of CALL environment such as interactivity, flexibility, content appropriateness as well as performance; as the nature of test the application of SCA and MCA test in delivering the grammar test was believed to suggest stressful environment. The authenticity setting of both SCA and MCA test which was proposed to promote the originality of students’ work was identified to drive uncomfortable testing situation. Within comparison between the SCA and MCA tests, result of the study has shown that students preferred to SCA test than the MCA test. The SCA test was believed to serve practicality for the students to complete the grammar task for the sake of number of correct answer available. Although students were challenged to complete the grammar test carried within the MCA test format, students preferred not to have such testing as it created more uncomfortable testing environment for them.

This paper presents how to teach cohesion to EFL students who take English for Academic Purposes (EAP) courses at the faculty of economics. The teaching is based on the assumption that the direct involvement of students in selecting course materials and intensive exposure to discourse of economic texts in reading practices can raise students’ awareness and knowledge of the way which the content of connected texts hangs together. This acquaintance can in turn make them have better comprehension of the text.

Despite of Indonesian government’s initiative for enhancing technology in educational practices,
the use of computer to mediate teaching/learning seems to be hesitant. This paper is to expose students’ recognition of learning English reading mediated by computer. Case study was used as research design. Results of the research expose no evidence that students with better English background would be successful in this mode of learning reading. However, students who participate more in learning sessions tend to have better achievement in English reading. Furthermore, students recognize that computer mediated learning reading is interesting and brings benefits from the view point of learning flexibility, interactivity, variety of contents, and performance by which motivate them to complete their own learning. The absence of teacher falls into two: 1) teacher’s absence would lower students’ psychological burden, and 2) explanations from teacher remains needed in face-to-face interaction.

Division of fractions is often acknowledged by mysterious rule which is not based on conceptual knowledge. The purpose of the study was to explore elementary school student’s knowledge of division fractions. For this purpose, a case study was conducted. The participant of the study was Lala (pseudonym) who enrolled at one elementary school in East Jakarta. The data were collected by administering written test and semi-structured interview respectively. The findings of the study indicated that Lala was able to describe strategy of division fractions as inverse of repeated addition flexibly. She also had basic understanding of fractions division concept as equal sharing, but when she was challenged with advance problems, she performed poorly. Lala also encountered difficulty when dealing with dividing fraction by fraction problem in which she interpreted it as subtraction problem. In this case, her procedural knowledge was likely to be more salient than her conceptual knowledge.
