THE PARENTS’ PARTICIPATION AND STUDENTS’ BEHAVIOR IN MODULAR DISTANCE LEARNING TOWARDS THE ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE OF THE STUDENTS OF PAG-ASA NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL

This study aimed to identify the level of the parents’ participation and level of the students behavior in accomplishing the Learning Activity Sheets and/or Modules of the modular distance learning students of Pag-asa National High School. Predominantly, this study is focused on the identified characteristics or roles of the parents and the behaviors of the students during the modular distance learning to modify the process of the school in garnering bigger percentage of Learning Activity Sheets to be retrieved from the students. The identified behavior of the modular distance learning students was also correlated to the students’ academic performance to improve and develop learning materials such as the Learning Activity Sheets and the Modules. The study utilized the descriptive-survey type of research to determine the level of the parents participation and students behavior in modular distance learning. The results of the study revealed that the level of the parents participation in accomplishing the Learning Activity Sheets has a verbal interpretation of Great Extent and the given situations are often done by the parents. On the other hand, the behavior of the students in accomplishing the Learning Activity Sheets, has a verbal interpretation of Great Extent and the given behavioral situations are considered often done by the learners. This study focused and limited only on the level of the parents participation and students behavior based on the perception of the learners from Grade 10 Modular Distance Learning section one (MDL 1) and to assess the relationship of the students behavior to their performance during the first year of the implementation of the modular distance learning. This action research will guide the parents in assisting their children to accomplish their Learning Activity sheets considering the different behaviors of their children during the time of pandemic. The results of this study will also serve as an initial move to work with the parents and other members of the schools and the community to help the learners in improving their behavior and study skills.
Problematicity of Translating Some Selected Arabic Qur'anic Collocations into English: Linguistic, Stylistic, and Cultural Perspectives

Rendering the Arabic Qur'anic collocations into English has always been a burdensome and daunting job. It is ever more problematic than the rendition of any genre. The recent research is a caveat-lector attempt that seeks specifically to investigate the problematicity of translating some selected Qur'anic collocations into English that is from linguistic, stylistic, and cultural perspectives. The findings of the study show some of the selected translations flop to transfer the connotative meaning of Qur'anic collocations scrupulously, and hence they have weak connotations. On the other hand, some renderings succeed in conveying the implicative meaning of Arabic Qur'anic collocations, and consequently, they have strong connotations. The results also reveal that the most generally put to use translation method or strategy for translating the embedded meaning of Arabic Qur'anic collocations was that of verbatim translation or literal translation, and they also demonstrate that this resulted in a great loss of the intentional meaning, distorting the perfect translation of Qur'anic collocations that is from linguistic, stylistic, and cultural perspectives.
Students Water Literacy in South Sumatera Indonesia, Does Indigenous Culture Had Influence?

Water literacy, or the culmination of water-related knowledge, attitudes and behaviours, is a relatively new field of study with growing importance for sustainable water management and social water equity (McCarroll &amp;amp; Hamman, 2020). This study aims to analyse students' water literacy from two area in South Sumatera Indonesia, one area is from Semende which is subdistrict of Muara Enim with Indigenous Culture of water conservation and other students came from Palembang Districts which is at the same province with Semende districs, with a similar abundance of water but without Indigenous Culture. This study's samples were 439 respondents, consisting of 184 boys and 255 girls aged 11-18 years from junior and senior high school students in Palembang Municipality and Semende sub-districts of Muara Enim. There were 39 questions for measuring water literacy in the form of a Likert scale (1-5) to assess knowledge, attitude and behaviours in practical and living literacy. Social literacy was measured in the open-ended question instrument. Three of this water literacy was analysed descriptively. The results showed that practical water literacy in Semende and Palembang was significantly different but not with living water literacy. Besides, students' social water literacy in the Semende had two different answer patterns, while, in Palembang, it was more diverse with six different response patterns.
Computational Modelling of Quantifier Use: Corpus, Models, and Evaluation

A prominent strand of work in formal semantics investigates the ways in which human languages quantify the elements of a set, as when we say All A are B, Few A are B, and so on. Building on a growing body of empirical studies that shed light on the meaning and the use of quantifiers, we extend this line of work by computationally modelling how human speakers textually describe complex scenes in which quantitative relations play an important role. To this end, we conduct a series of elicitation experiments in which human speakers were asked to perform a linguistic task that invites the use of quantified expressions. The experiments result in a corpus, called QTUNA, made up of short texts that contain a large variety of quantified expressions. We analyse QTUNA, summarise our findings, and explain how we design computational models of human quantifier use accordingly. Finally, we evaluate these models in accordance with QTUNA.

Teaching reading functional vocabulary to students with intellectual disability (ID’s) is a challenge for teachers in special schools. They face many obstacles in teaching vocabulary which are caused by various factors, especially student characteristics and learning structures that are less practical and tend to be academic. This study aims to measure the effectiveness of using word cards and picture cards to improve vocabulary reading skills in moderate ID’s students. The type of research applied is single subject research, with multiple baseline across subject designs. The research subjects were two moderately ID’s students in grade 5 and grade 2 SLB-C1 Bhakti Luhur Malang. An instructor and an observer played an important role in this study. The experimental instrument used is Lesson Plan which consists of three units, each teaching two vocabularies. Data analysis is carried out by performing graphical inspections that focus on trend, latency, and level changes. The effectiveness was confirmed by Percentage of All Non-overlapping Data (PAND) in the intervention condition against the baseline-1 condition. The results showed that with the intervention, the target behavior in the form of vocabulary understanding had a trend of grades rising gradually touching a high level of score, and settling at a high level in the baseline-2 condition. The average PAND for subject-1 reached 80.55% (effective), and subject-2 reached 96.67% (very effective)

Election Tally-Using Blockchain and User-Identification

Abstract: A lot of democratic choices are made among many different sets of people, and voting is the preferred way of doing so. The technique offers an equitable and effective way to make a choice based on the consensus, regardless of whether it is applied in formal or informal settings. Keeping track of voter choices is not difficult when fewer people are voting, but it becomes crucial and more difficult when there are thousands or even millions of voters. Modern voting processes face a record-keeping challenge, but advances in blockchain technology may offer a solution. This is because blockchain technology, by its very nature, shines in apps where numerous users are working with immutable data. This study examines the planning and Election Tally Application a voting system being developed that has its blockchain, operates on a centralized network of servers, and incorporates a biometric scanner to ensure vote accuracy and tell enrolled voters from inactive ones. This system enables data immutability while giving voter protection and ballot management. The system can scale to manage a large number of votes from numerous servers while keeping data integrity, speed, and security, according to experimental findings. To improve user security, user identification was integrated into developing and implementing the centralized and autonomous blockchain network for use as a voting platform

From chameleon to tyranossaurus rex - the sociolinguist as a predator

The article discusses the relationship amonst the Theory of Variation and Change and models such as Structuralism and Generative Theory. Against the backdrop of the major controversies that inaugurated the Theory of Variation and Change itself, as well as those surrounding the work of Fernando Tarallo in Brazil, the text addresses the epistemological problem of incorporating hypotheses from other models. It assumes that these theories are incommensurable, and thus non-competing. However, it proposes an epistemological path to overcome the immobility that would result, within the scope of Variationist studies, from the awareness of this incommensurability. Basically, this path consists of taking the portions of language functioning that support the empiricism of such theoretical frameworks – common to the Variationist description – and re-signifying the relationship proposed within the Structural or Generative framework of origin not as the effect of a rule that responds to abstract concepts that only make sense within each frame, but as a force that acts within the scope of the functioning of language.

The majority of cryptocurrency owners are younger, highly educated males. Cryptocurrency relies on blockchain technology. To add new blocks to the blockchain, they must be mined. Non-fungible tokens represent ownership of an exclusive digital asset (e.g., a painting or a song). NFT transactions occur on the blockchain.
Developing Augmented Reality Learning and Measuring Its Effect on Independent Learning Compared to Traditional Learning

Technological advances have become the concern of researchers in the embodiment of the educational process. Current students have abandoned the old learning method by switching to digital-based learning. Therefore, this study aims to develop Android Augmented Reality (AR) learning media and measure its effect on independent learning outcomes compared to traditional classroom learning. The research method combines research and development (R&amp;D), experiment, and survey methods. The alpha test showed the learning media application of AR functions according to the expected scenario. Meanwhile, the beta test showed most students strongly agree that: AR learning media is easy to use; the content in the AR learning media is exciting and easy to understand. Besides that AR education media helps and facilitates students in learning the basics of car engine systems. The beta test on teachers showed that AR learning media for car engine lubrication and cooling system is useful and suitable for classroom learning. Furthermore, the t-test comparison test shows that the learning outcomes of students who study independently are more successful when compared to the learning outcomes of AR students who study traditionally face-to-face.So the implication is student self-directed learning can replace the teacher's face-to-face classroom teaching.

Training Recommendation using Simple Addictive Weighting in Agriculture Product Trading Company

The use of System Application and Processing (SAP) software is becoming increasingly popular among businesses, and ensuring employees receive adequate training is essential for effective use. However, there are common problems associated with SAP training, such as the lack of adequate training materials, training module quality, insufficient training facilities, and inadequate coach quality. These problems can result in employees not receiving the training they need to operate the software effectively, leading to a lack of productivity and efficiency in the workplace. To address these issues, the development of a training recommendation application using XAMPP, HTML, PHP, and CSS has been successful. The application offers an integrated, secure, and accurate solution to select the most appropriate SAP Training Module for each employee based on their performance across different attributes. The User Acceptance Testing (UAT) carried out with the Human Resource staff showed that the application built using the Simple Additive Weighting (SAW) method was 100% effective in selecting the best module for each employee. The SAW method considers the weighted sum of performance rankings for each module, providing a reliable and accurate recommendation for the most suitable module for each employee.
GRAMMATICAL COMPETENCE LEVEL AND GRAMMAR LEARNING STRATEGY OF PRE-SERVICE TEACHERS

This study attempted to determine the grammar learning strategy and grammatical competence level of the 2nd year and 3rd year pre-service teachers. Additionally, this study aimed to investigate the relationship between their grammar learning strategy usage and grammatical competence level. To this end, the study employed the descriptive-correlational research method. Data were collected through a questionnaire facilitated in Google Forms. The study's results revealed that, first, the pre-service teachers have highly used the Grammar Learning Strategies in general and when categorized as Cognitive, Meta-cognitive, and Socio-affective; although all GLS categories were highly used, the one with the highest mean was the Cognitive GLS while the least was the Socio-affective GLS. Second, respondents were found to have a fair level of grammatical competence in general as well as when specified to Subject-Verb Agreement, Pronoun-Antecedent Agreement, Parts of Speech, and Adjective-Adverb Agreement. Lastly, it was found in this present study that there is a highly significant relationship between grammar learning strategy usage and grammatical competence level but it is a weak positive correlation at 0.20. This outcome is conducive to better understand the pre-service teachers' GLS usage, to maximize the other GLS which were not highly used, and to supply some references for enhancing one’s grammatical competence level.&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt; Article visualizations:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="/-counters-/soc/0017/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
