Abstract: Difficulties in learning chemistry for this still dwell on the difficulty in delivering of material that is abstract and microscopical. Lack of student understanding of abstract concepts of chemistry led to higher student outcomes on algorithmic aspects rather than its conceptual aspect. The study was to observe at student learning and trying to improve learning results in the subject matter of the buffer solution that it includes abstract concepts and contextually closely connected with algorithmic. The subject is a 21 pupils in class XI IPA 1 SMA Muhammadiyah Banjarmasin.............

Poems have a language that consists of vocabulary, construction elements, and poetic images. However, painting also has elements of the artwork and vocabulary, images, techniques, technical workspace ...etc. On the other hand, different ways of expression are extended through two dimensions as such reality, imagination as well as the ability to translate sensations and feelings to aesthetic artistic curriculum templates.

Abstract: It has been observed that most of the criteria considered for gauging effective teaching for the lecturers' evaluation process are naturally imprecise, vague, qualitative, and involve varied input datasets. Besides that, these criteria are usually determined by the universities themselves without considering the perspective of their students. Thus, this study proposes that a lecturer's evaluation should also be investigated based on the students' perspectives. The study was equipped with the appropriate linguistic weights to cope with the vagueness of the input datasets using the so-called Simple Hierarchy Analysis (SHA). A numerical example was employed to demonstrate the applicability of the proposed method............

Abstract: This paper probes into the linguistic impacts the English subtitled videos into Arabic can have on Moroccan learners of English. Given my frequent contact with students as a teacher, I have noticed that they come up with some words which they pick up from watching these types of videos which vary from movies, cartoons, to documentaries. In this paper, I opt for two subtitled videos, which are a cartoon and a documentary, using the research techniques of pre-test and post-test. Before watching these videos, they were given a pretest for each video. The aim of this pretest, which consists of lexical items from the video, is to check those items students do not know............

Abstract: Daodejing, one of the most influential books in China was written by one of the greatest philosophers in ancient China, an elder contemporary of Confucius, Laozi. Daodejing was mainly the records of the observation from nature and the interactions between humans. Laozi, with his appreciation of nature, introduced the concepts of wu-wei, non-action and wu-zhi, not-knowing. His work has been spread all over the world, especially in Southeast Asia, serving as the canon of Daoism. This paper explores the notion of wu-wei and wu-zhi. A special epistemological view on knowledge acquiring will be introduced. Dewey's body learning and Laozi's wu-wei will be connected. The application of Daodejing and Laozi's philosophical idea in the modern age will be discussed.

Abstract: Macro-setting is perceived to have a great potentiality for first language acquisition. Informal macro-setting is believed to provide unconsciously and incidentally acquisition opportunities through exposure to the texts such as books, magazines or authentic language input through technology which give rise to learner's outcomes. Fortunately, the significance of informal macro-setting is mostly respected and overestimated in most nations, especially in developing countries that children have limited social interaction with their parents or siblings.............
