| Abstraksi Narasi | : | Competency-Based Curriculum strongly suggest that the subject delivery of high school Physics should be accompanied by laboratory work. In the implementation of experimental works, time constraint is one of the dominant factors beside the relatively expensive device and material procurement problem. This time constraint is even more dominant if the experimental work involves electricity. In this article, a simple integrated circuit board is proposed as an alternative of supporting experiments and specifically designed to easily help students conducting electricity experiment faster. Therefore, the time problem that dominantly constrained the Physics teachers in providing laboratory work to go along with the electricity theory can be solved, at least partially. This simple integrated circuit board is made from easy to find and cheap materials and can be used to perform various electricity experiments, such as Oh`s law, internal resistance of amperemeter, internal resistance of voltmeter, internal resistance of battery, Kirchhoff`s law, variable resistance to expand the measurement range, transient current, RLC in ac circuits, diode characteristics, and rectifier waves. |

| Abstraksi Narasi | : | The research aims at knowing whether the effectiveness of a teaching method is influenced by the academic potential of the students. The data are secondary ones taken from six theses. The used data are the scores of sub-summative test of senior high school students (to determine the stratification of the students` academic potential) and the scores of their achievement test (to measure the effectiveness of the teaching methods). There are two classes in each thesis. Every class is then divided into three academic-potential strata: high, medium, and low. The statistical analysis uses two-Factors ANOVA and Scheffe Test. The result of the research indicates that 4 out of 6 theses used as sample show that the effectiveness of a teaching method is influence by the students` academic potential. The effectiveness is dominantly achieved by students with high academic potential. The uniqueness of the research is the finding of the ability of ANOVA in detecting weather the learning and teaching process is good or not, especially in detecting whether or not the items used have met the criteria of a good test. |

| Abstraksi Narasi | : | Competency based curriculum is actually not a novelty, it goes back to the 70s. The emphasis of the curriculum is the learning outcomes, the process and methods of achieving the goal are irrelevant. The learning outcomes of learning a foreign language are the abilities to use the language in real life. The goal is thus similar to the one of the communicative approach. Thus the assessment of the competency based curriculum would be very similar to the ones advocated by the communicative approach, mainly the use of authentic materials and authentic tasks, empirical criterion, open-ended items, subjective scoring amd more use of criterion referenced tests. This paper presents the background of competency and its relate fields, the application of norm-referenced and criterion-referenced tests, their strengths and weaknesses, their ifferences, the basic principles construction of tests for competency based curriculum. Summary and evaluation of the curriculum are also provided. |

| Abstraksi Narasi | : | Multimedia plays an increasingly important role in education. Some people even promise that multimedia will brings us to the situation where ``learning with effort`` can be replaced by ``learning with fun``. If this will not occur, then at least multimedia should make learning more effective. There are indeed some good reasons that make multimedia effective for education because multimedia seems to be well suited to essential characteristics of human learning. From a constructive view of human learning, multimedia obviously ofers authentic learning situation and allows a learner to interact with a subject ,matter and allows self-directed exploratory learning. However, a question may arouse: when can it happen? This article will specifically discuss the following questions: (a) when (i.e., under which conditions) is multimedia learning effective? (b) why is it effective? Practical and theoretical conclusions will be drawn. |

| Abstraksi Narasi | : | Almost all English books available for the teaching of English as a foreign language to beginners in Indonesia present new materials in a context followed by singled-out sentences with illustrating pictures to hint at the meaning of the sentences. As an English context poses a host of pronunciation problems, vocabulary problems, and grammar problems to beginning learners, comprehending of such materials may be quite hard. Hence, on the basis of the theory human information processing, an alternative approach may be proposed. The assumption is that the presentation of contextualized English materials must be preceded by a list of words used in the context and the translation of the words in Indonesian and an explanation of the grammatical rules which are found in the context. This research aims to find out if English materials which are written on the basis of Indonesian knowledge structures are easier to process and comprehend than those that are not written on the basis of Indonesian knowledge structures. It uses the survey method that involves 468 four-graers of four Catholic Elementary Schools in Surabaya as the subjects. The instrument consists of two sets of English materials, one is written in the basis of Indonesian knowledge structures and the other one is not written on the basis of Indonesian knowledge structures and a questionaire. Research results show that 351 subject (75%) state that English materials whichj are written on the basis of Indonesian knowledge structures are easier to comprehend than those that are not written on the basis of Indonesian knowledge structures. Only 117 subjects (25%) state that the latter is easier to comprehend than the former. It is, therefore, suggested that English teaching materials be written on the basis of Inonesian knoledge structures. |

| Abstraksi Narasi | : | The shift of emphasis from the teacher to the learner in the teaching and learning process should actually encourage teachers to pay more attention to the learners` characteristics, one of which relates to their learning styles which put learners into a scale of field dependence and field independence. Learners with diferent learning styles are supposed to employ difreent learning strategies in approaching any learning task. With 30 subjects are a workshop who were mostly English teachers at high school and university levels, this study would like to find out (1) what kind of reading strategies FI and FD people use in comprehending a reading text and (2) to what extent the strategies used by FI and FD people influence their reading achievement. The result of the study proves that FI and FD people tend to use some what different strategies to comprehend a reading text, and in terms of the results of their comprehension achievement, it can be tentatively concluded that FI people have a better reading achievement than the FD group. |

| Abstraksi Narasi | : | This study aims at answering the following questions: (1) What teaching materials are needed by Non-Indonesian Language departement student learning Bahasa Indonesia?, (2) What teaching methods are appropriate for those students? To answer these questions a set of questionaires were distributed to the students of non-Indonesian Department learning Bahasa Indonesia and the key persons of the non-Indonesian department. In adition, 70 papers written by those students were analyzed to reveal the errors they made in writing academic compositions. The study uncovers that (1) the materials needed by non-Indonesian department students learning Indonesia should be focused on academic writing, (2) the teaching-learning strategies required are selfstudy, cooperative learning and inquiry. Furthermore, more opportunities for writing practices are needed. |

| Abstraksi Narasi | : | Traditional method of teaching pronunciation relies heavily on the bottom-up approahes which typiocally involve students repeating the models of speech sounds, followed by an extensive practice on the individual speech sounds. In other words, the traditional teaching is characterized by an attempt to build students` articulatory competence. In this paper, the writer will propose a function-based model for teaching pronunciation in which one speech sound can be developed to cover seven language functions. The proposal for teaching pronunciation presente in this paper has been shown to be beneficial in helping learners acquire the English speech sounds in a realistic and authentic manner. |
