Digital Learning In South East Asia : The Role Of Seamolec
Digital Learning provides unlimited opportunity to people. Now, more than 43 percent of world population are online. The internet creates the global interconnected knowledge. As a consequence, education is entering revolution. We are educating students for an unknown future. Reffering to Richard Rile ― in a knowledge-based world, we need to prepare students for jobs that haven‘t been created, using technologies that haven‘t been invented in order to solve problems that may not even yet exist‖. In 21st century, the paradigm changes from teaching to learning. Learning is unique for everyone, because each person has different background, learning styles, and pace of learning . The role of technology in education can support the individuals‘ needs. Technology is a vehicle to support learning. A comparative analysis of ICT integration and e-readiness in school across Asia was conducted by UNESCO and UNESCO Institute for Statistic in 2014. Several data shown from this study, such as ; In 2012, computer ratio in Lower Secondary Schools in Cambodia 1 :>500,Philippines 1 : 49, Malaysia 1:12, Thailand 1:12, Indonesia (Primary and Secondary) 1 : 136, Singapore (Primary and Secondary) 1:4. Computers have been used as assisted instruction in Secondary Schools in Singapore (100%), Thailand (97%), Philippines (8%), Indonesia (7%) Percentage of schools with internet assisted instruction are as follow : Singapore and Brunei Darussalam, primary and secondary schools (100%), Thailand, Primary and Secondary Schools (97%), Malaysia (>95%). Indonesia‘s internet access (70% of Primary and Secondary Schools have internet access). In congruent with this data and in conjunction with SEAMEO & Priority Agenda, SEAMEO SEAMOLEC takes role to build ICT Culture in South East Asia, specifically, Bandung City as a model. In this program, Social Learning Network is used as a virtual class platform. It is commonly used as a means of communication, as well as to announce information, quizzes, share learning materials and many more. It gives special feature to each users based on their roles : teachers, students, or parents, and affecting the types of communication access for them.
Video Technology in Pedagogy and Research
Moving from the periphery to the center of language pedagogy, video technology has now taken on the role of aprimary source of contentin the foreign/second language classroomas well as an accessible medium that makes possible meaningful second language (L2) learning tasks. Drawing on this increased significance of video technology, this talk will thus begin by elaborating onthe four key rolesof videos in the language classroom proposed by Willis: language focus, skills practice, stimulus, and resource. Then, it willdiscuss the theoretical frameworksthat lend support to the pedagogical applications of videos, such asdual coding theory, sociocultural theory, communities of practice,social cognitive theory,and multimedia learning theory. Next, the talk will share two empirical studies to shed light on the integration of video technology into the English as a Foreign Language (EFL) speaking pedagogy and research. The first studyinvestigated the pedagogic potential of videos in enhancing students‘ engagement in the oral feedback provision process. A total of 60 EFLlearners participated in a semester-long video feedback project where they produced oral feedback video clips that contained multiple semiotic modes such as visual, verbal, and gestural modes.Data analyses led to three major findings. First,learners in general valued the role that video technology played in feedback production and provision, delineating that feedback in the video mode cannot only promote more interaction but also foster more personalized learning and attentive engagement. Second, the study uncovered a number of cognitive and social strategies learners used to ensure fluency and accuracy of their oral feedback, to achieve cognitive goals by efficiently producing the feedback, to observe positively-reinforced behaviors from peers, and to cooperate with others to generate ideas for future improvement. Nevertheless, the project revealed some potential challenges associated with feedback development and technical problems.Next,situated in the EFL speaking context, the second empirical study explored how the participation in multimodal videoconferencing sessions affected one of the communication variables—Willingnessto Communication (WTC).Participants from the experimental group participated in three 30-minute communication tasks via multimodal videoconferencing while participants from the control group completed the same tasks face-to-face in class. Two major findings were uncovered. First, learners in the experimental group have significantly higher WTC than those in the control group, suggesting that multimodal videoconferencing could increase EFL learners‘ WTC. Second, qualitative findings indicated that learners‘ WTC in multimodal videoconferencing sessions was influenced by task topic, support from multimodal texts, the patterns of multimodal interaction and the interlocutors. Finally, the talk will end with pedagogical implications to inform L2 speaking instruction and research implications to nominate directions for future L2 speaking research in the digital era.

Utilization of Digital Media to Improve The Quality and Attractiveness of The Teaching of History
Historical learning serves a very important function, to waken the students’ awareness of the past society transformation and development process. Another function is to build historical perspective and awareness in finding, understanding, and explaining the nation’s self-identity amid the world transformation. However, the success of historical learning remains to be questioned until today. The most fundamental problem in historical learning is the attempt of improving the quality of learning process so that an effective, efficient and attractive result is achieved. One attempt of dealing with the low attraction and quality of learning is to use varying learning method and media. The best learning media for history is the object directly. The object/concrete object will give a real learning experience. However, in reality, as the technology develops, many object of historical learning is available in limited number in the field. This limitation may be due to space, time, and sensory power. Many historical learning objects are difficult to acquire because of its far distance, too big or too small size, complexity, or abstractness. For that reason, a learning media should be designed that can deal with such the limitation. One of it is by utilizes IT-based media. Some IT-based learning media that can be used are digital book, e-learning, learning multimedia and other formats. Through a sustainable research, it could be proved that through using digital media, teacher could teach history more joyfully. Using digital learning media can also invite the students to watch directly the form of historical heritage objects so that they will not only think or imagine them but they could watch them directly, finally, the quality of historical learning could improve or be more attractive.

Knowledge into Teaching and Learning of Primary School in Tawangmangu The Perception about Integration of Traditional Ecological
Tawangmangu rich with traditional culture, like folktales and traditional ceremonies. It was valuable as traditional ecological knowledge (TEK), but people had been forgotten. The integration of TEK into learning in rimary school may be a key tool for the the potential to improve the delivery of educational objectives about science. This paper explores perceptions about integration of the value of TEK into formal education, especially in primary school in Tawangmangu, Karanganyar District. We conducted interviews with 52 participants (educators, officials, and local TEK experts) regarding the use of the formal school system to transmit, maintain, and revitalise TEK. Participants reported that TEK in Tawangmangu had eroded and identified the formal school system as a principal driver. Most interviewees believed that if an appropriate format could be developed, TEK could be included in the formal education system. Such an approach has potential to maintain customary knowledge and practice in the focus communities. Participants identified several specific domains for inclusion in school curricula, including diversity of food knowledge, agricultural knowledge and practice, especially corn and vegetables, and the reinforcement of respect for traditional authority and values. TEK has potential to add value to formal education in primary school in Tawangmangu by contextualizing the content and process of learning, and by facilitating character development and self-awareness in students. These benefits are relevant with UNESCO- mandated goals for curricular reform and provide a strong argument for the inclusion of TEK in formal school. However, interviewees also noted a number of practical barriers to teaching TEK in primary school. These relates the cultural diversity and views within the community. However, needed further research to the significant epistemological challenges inherent in including TEK in formal school, particularly as participants noted the potential for such approaches to have negative consequences.

The Effectiveness of Inductive Teaching Technique in Improving Students’ English Grammatical Ability
This study focused on examining the effectiveness of inductive teaching technique in improving students’ English grammatical ability. A quasi-experiment on pretest-posttest-control-group design was employed to answer the research hypotheses. Its population encompassed whole second class students studying in a vocational school in Curup-Bengkulu with the samples, XI TKJ REG as the experimental group and XI AP I as the control group, selected based on homogenous sampling technique. The finding showed that students’ grammatical ability before teaching with inductive and habitual technique was still homogenously low as shown by pre-test result. Subsequently, the ability from both groups rose as indicated by the post-test result. However, the experimental group gained a higher post-test mean score. Continuously, the effectiveness was proven by calculating “t” which resulted in (2,9) > (2,410). The calculation inferred that inductive technique was effective in improving students’ English grammatical ability. Practically, this study could contribute to give EFL teachers insights regarding the use and the significance of inductive technique in teaching English grammar. However, this study width was quite narrow by virtue of engaging only one school. Further studies were needed since the essence of inductive technique could improve not only students’ grammatical ability but also their grammatical-related-reasoning skills.

Those problems are mainly related to three fundamental ideas of Ki Hadjar Dewantara called “Trikon” strategy, covering continuity, convergence, and concentricity. The first is the problem related to the continuity strategy that can be recognized from the tendency of the current educational awareness that tends to be unsustainable. For instance, the implementation of 2013 Curriculum in Indonesia that led to a big controversy in the sense that this curriculum is considered very different from the previous one. The second is the convergence strategy that can be seen from the current practice of educational system in Indonesia that tends to be Western-centric than Indonesian-centric. Third is the one related to the concentric strategy which is reflected in the results of the current practice of Indonesian educational system that reduce or even eliminate the Indonesian indigenous values in the entire level of the civilization. Indeed, the need to have an educational restoration based on Ki Hadjar Dewantara‟s Trikon perspectives concerning these three problems is necessarily important to consider.

Development of Thinking Skill Test for Senior High School Students
Thinking skills can be divided into critical thinking and creative thinking. Critical thinking is an ability to solve the problem, examine hypothesis, and reach conclusion by the scientific way. Creative thinking can be defined as the mental activity to increase purity or sensitivity to develop something. Students need to be trained to develop the two abilities because both abilities grow through the process, not instantly. This is the same as development of cognitive, affective, and psychomotor skills. There are many learning models can be used to explore the two abilities. On this research, we used Contextual Teaching and Learning which has known as learning method usually used in thinking skill explorations. The development of thinking skill test through several steps, those were getting the information, working with the information, judging the quality of information, using the information for a purpose, and using information to craft a product/presentation. Critical thinking and creative thinking abilities are considered as indicators of performance assessment (showed by determination values (R2) of both R2 creative = 0,1936 and R2 critical = 0,0361). Senior high school students‘ phases of critical thinking consist of understanding a definition, identification, understanding a comprehension and understanding a correlation. This was proven by critical thinking indicator values (An), those were A1 (to understand working definition according to physics) = 0,26, A3 (to identify some activities in daily life that included as working or not working according to physics) = 0,26, A4 (to understand comprehension of energy) = 0,22, A7 (to analyse correlation among working, kinetic energy, and gravitational potential energy) = 0,20. Senior high school students’ thinking ability phase only achieved expertise in cause and effect finding and this showed by indicator value of creative thinking, B1 (to find conditions that cause working) = 0,37.

ENGLISH TEACHING MATERIALS FOR SMK STUDENTS MAJORING IN ARTS: TEACHERS’ PERSPECTIVES
The current practice of teaching English as a foreign language for students of SMK with art concentration needs to be reconsidered. These particular learners tend to be treated as having the same learning needs and target needs as those of SMA. Indeed, conducting an empirical study of the learning needs of SMK students, particularly those with art concentration is necessarily important. Regarding this fact, this piece of writing tries to figure out the learning needs of SMK students with art concentration by means of identifying the voices of those conducting the teaching and learning process of English as a foreign language for these particular learners. The data presented in the study were obtained through conducting a focus group discussion involving English teachers of 9 vocational schools with art concentration in Yogyakarta Special Region and by giving a set of questionnaires to them. The discussions presented cover the topics of the availability of the materials and sources of materials, types of texts used, the language skills being discussed, the activities, and the values or norms that need to be inserted in the teaching and learning processes. The study reveals that there is not any English textbook that fits the learning needs of these particular learners, teachers are supposed to use the same book as those for the common senior high schools. Consequently they also find their own materials to fit the learners’ needs from many different sources. Keywords: English, language, students, SMK, art
