Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening by Robert Frost

Whose woods these are I think I know.

His house is in the village though;

He will not see me stopping here

To watch his woods fill up with snow.

My little horse must think it queer

To stop without a farmhouse near

Between the woods and frozen lake

The darkest evening of the year.

He gives his harness bells a shake

To ask if there is some mistake.

The only other sound’s the sweep

Of easy wind and downy flake.

The woods are lovely, dark and deep,

But I have promises to keep,

And miles to go before I sleep,

And miles to go before I sleep.

Norm-referenced test: is a type of test, assessment, or evaluation which yields an estimate of the position of the tested individual in a predefined population, with respect to the trait being measured. The estimate is derived from the analysis of test scores and possibly other relevant data from a sample drawn from the population. (src: wikipedia)

Cross Cultural Understanding Fourth Semester

Robi Jepara ID - Hello everyone, lets see these questions and answers. May I wrong or right?

Question

1. Do you think teachers should have sense of humor doing their teaching calling process in classroom? Teachers and educators of all levels and disciplines have praised the ability of humor to aid the learning process to help students' understanding of key points and to relax students in moments of anxiety and increased tension. The benefits of humor make obvious to them by a variety of personal accounts and description. Even Stopsky in his book "Humor in the Classroom: A New Approach to Critical Thinking" states that humor has significant point to increase students' critical thinking.
2. Learning is a process of how knowledge (cognitive)significantly change us emotionally to be critical to problem happening around us. Then we have obligation to solve this. So, it's not only about moral reasoning, but also moral feeling and moral behavior. Is there any ideas from you to respond this?

Answer

The teacher should have a sense of humor because it can be reduce the anxiaties of students when they feel nervous in learning activity process. If teacher doesn’t apply fun learning in the learning activities, Students will be bored and scaries. They want to ask some question but they afraid because of the teacher doesn’t have a humor sense. When the teachers always serious in learning activities it caused students stressfull and intimidate. In my mind, teacher which has a sense of humor usually they are clever, more than smart.

Moral feeling and moral behavior are extremely important things in a learning activity process because we can respect to anothers people with different ages. Moral feeling is a feeling of the rightness or wrongness of an action or the ability to have such feelings. Moral behavior is to act according to ones moral values and standards. It can be applied in the society. Moral feeling includes conscience, self esteem, empathy, loving the good, self control, and humility. That’s way the correlation between moral feeling and moral behavior.

Absolutely not, because IQ, EQ, SQ, and PQ have a chemistry each other as intellectual. It makes balance all of  human body between intelligence, emotion, spiritual, and physical.

Summarize an article Impact of Corona Virus Outbreak Towards Teaching and Learning Activities in Indonesia by Zaharah, Galia Ildusovna Kirilova, Anissa Windarti

Robi Jepara ID - Today, I am gonna share about my summarizing with COVID-19 article, hope you like my preview guys cheers!

Title of the article:
Impact of Corona Virus Outbreak Towards Teaching and Learning Activities in Indonesia by Zaharah, Galia Ildusovna Kirilova, Anissa Windarti (2020)

Article summary
In this article reported findings about impact of corona virus outbreak towards teaching and learning activities in Indonesia.  There were three impact which author was written. The first, impact of COVID-19 for education in general. It does not only have an impact on the health and global economy. But it affects all sectors, especially in the education sector. Therefore, it is necessary to take anticipatory steps by each education unit at the regional level given the number of important agendas, such as national exams, and selection of higher education entrance. The second, strategic  steps to overcome the impact of covid-19 on teaching and learning activities. The first thing to do is to provide education to students and education practitioners. The second step is the need to prepare a special team of psychologists to assist students both collectively and individually, especially for schools in areas affected by the virus. The third, Indonesian ministry of education and culture's policy against corona virus outbreaks in teaching and learning activities (KBM). Minister of Education and Culture (Mendikbud) Nadiem Anwar Makarim supports the policy of the regional government (Pemda) which dismiss schools and postpones the implementation of the National Examination (UN). That was as a step to prevent the spread of Coronavirus disease 2019. Online-based learning is expected to have a positive impact on students and the progress of our education. In this case, the teacher also expects the participation and care of parents at home to encourage their children to study at home, using onlinebased learning facilities and systems that have been established by the government through the Education Office during COVID-19. This study used a qualitative method with the study of literature (documents). Teaching can be interpreted by the act of learning by students and teaching by teachers. The two components cannot be separated in the process of teaching and learning activities (KBM). Teaching and learning activities are a unity of twodirectional activities. Learning activities are primary activities, while teaching is secondary activities that are intended for optimal activity.
