The Pandemic Is a Portal and The Value of a Teacher's Life (original) (raw)
2021, Schools: Studies in Education
This collection of reflections expresses the profound need for self-care while teaching in these dark times. These are teachers struggling to stay healthy, wondering if teaching is sustainable, struggling to meet their students' needs, and learning to teach in new ways. The title, "The Value of a Teacher's Life," comes from a poem Maureen included in her reflection about the hard work teachers were called to do because of understaffing at her school and her own health fears. Wendy demonstrates the creativity of teachers by sharing details on her teaching challenges and also the insights that led her to start a mindfulness class at this time. Jaxon talks about his own personal struggles, helping him have more empathy for his students. Larry shares his dedication to his students by upping his personal care routines. Joel shares his story of planning to leave teaching before COVID-19 and being overcome by the "stunning reality of his student's lives" that he learned about during the crisis, which kept him in teaching. Glen weaves his teaching philosophy into the pivots he made during COVID-19. Kyndra reminds us to let students know we care, and Carmen tells her personal story of taking better care of herself. Their personal stories show their deep understanding of their need to, as one teacher says, "put my oxygen mask on first." These are teachers concerned about their life chances if they are forced to teach face-to-face, all the while talking about their fear of opening up to new ways of being in relationships with students and talking about small wins and personal achievements. Let's listen in.

Cognitive Theory in Action: A Discourse Analysis to a Youtube Video about Teaching
Jurnal Psikologi Teori dan Terapan, 2011
Video offers a richer source of data and has been proven to be useful as a primary source of research. A video from Youtube website was used as a primary source for analysis in this paper. This paper is applying a discourse analysis as suggested by Fairclough (2003) about the discourse as a way of representing; how the discourse was used to express and imply the social relation and action, and the belief committed by the user of the discourse. The analysis was aimed to identify teacher’s idea of good teaching by comparing it to relevant theories. The analysis found that cognitive-related terms were consistently appearing in the teacher’s discourses; therefore, cognitive theories were used to elaborate a deeper meaning of the discourses. It was concluded that good teaching for the teacher was to focus on students’ cognitive higher development.
Indonesian YouTube Video Clip for Teaching Character Values in English Classes in High Schools
2017
In Indonesia, where English still has the status of a foreign language, many students see English as just one more subject to pass in order for them to proceed to the next level of education. In the current curriculum, the 2013 Curriculum, English, as are the other subjects, is given the “burden” of building the character values as mentioned in the 2nd Core Competence (KI 2). Some of the values are confidence, honesty, discipline, and responsibility. As is delineated in the Curriculum, the characters should be built through “indirect teaching”; based on that guidelines, the researcher then suggests the use of YouTube video clips about Indonesia, which has a two-fold function: to attract students’ interest, and to inculcate noble characters in the students. Videos on “Wondeful Indonesia” and historical events can be very beneficial to teach English to secondary school students. This paper explores the practical ways to use YouTube clips in teaching several text types to secondary sch...

The Role of Internal Factors of Efl Learners at Marginal Schools
2017
The expected result of teaching and learning certain language is influenced by many factors. They commonly come from internal and external sides of the EFL learners. There are many internal as well as external factors affected to the English learning. Out of many internal factors possessed by the EFL learners, this paper tries to examine five of them: (1) age, (2) gender, (3) motivation, (4) intellegent, and (5) personality. Those are assumed to have significant effect on the success of learning English as a foreign language. The paper focusses on the lower secondary schools particularly at marginal schools. In this type of schools, English is generally assumed as the low-proficiency subject among the others. Considering the different students’ characteristics from urban schools, it is predicted that the outcomes of learning English in the schools will be different as well. It is revealed from the result of National Exam which qualitatively lower than urban schools’ achievement (Wah...
Chuyên san Dạy và Học - số 38 - Hòa nhập
2021
Quý độc giả thân mến,Khi nhắc tới đa dạng và bao hàm trong giáo dục, bên cạnh vấn đề về sắc tộc, xuất xứ, giới tính, còn một khía cạnh nữa đáng quan tâm là “đa dạng hệ thần kinh” (neurodiversity). Đa dạng hệ thần kinh là một phong trào khởi đầu bởi nhà xã hội học Judy Singer, với nỗ lực chuyển hướng cách nhìn nhận về các rối loạn phát triển thần kinh (như tự kỷ và tăng động giảm chú ý) từ một góc nhìn bệnh lý sang một mô hình xã hội. Mặc dù còn nhiều tranh luận xoay quanh phong trào cũng như thuật ngữ này, sự ra đời của nó đã mang tới một khẳng định tất cả chúng ta cần phải suy ngẫm: liệu rằng các vấn đề rối loạn phát triển là những ‘căn bệnh’ khó chữa hay do xã hội này đang đặt ra các tiêu chuẩn khiến cho những cá thể “khác biệt” đó không thể hòa nhập vào?Lấy cảm hứng từ chủ đề này, BBT Lộn xộn xin được gửi tới quý độc giả Dạy & Học số 39 với tựa đề “Hòa nhập”. Trong bối cảnh các dịch vụ chuyên nghiệp dành cho các cá nhân có rối loạn phát triển thần kinh còn chưa phát triển và dễ t...
