The Relationship

The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between peer assessment and instructor assessment and make a comparison with views of preservice teachers. Since qualitative and quantitative methods were used together in the study, it was grounded on the mixed method approach. The quantitative data in this study, in which 27 preservice teachers participated on a voluntary basis, were obtained from scoring rubric whereas qualitative data were obtained from a semi-structured interview form prepared by the researchers. Statistical analyses were conducted to analyze the quantitative data collected within the scope of the study, whereas Pearson Product-Moment Correlation Coefficient was used to analyze the relationship between instructor assessment and peer assessment, and paired samples t test was used to determine the differences between pairwise groups. The qualitative data, on the other hand, were analyzed using the content analysis technique. As a result of the analysis, it was seen that there was a positive and significant correlation between instructor assessment and peer assessment. When the preservice teachers’ views were examined, those views rose to prominence stating that making assessments contributed to learning; they grew aware of imperfect knowledge; questioning and critical thinking improved, and fair assessment skills developed. This was interpreted to mean that preservice teachers could distinguish between adequate and inadequate work. However, when the preservice teachers’ views concerning their assessments by their peers were examined, the view attracted attention stating that friendship relations and personal problems affected assessment negatively and therefore peers gave low scores. At this point, when the mean scores were examined, it was seen that mean peer scores were higher than instructor mean scores. This was interpreted to mean that some preservice teachers did not have confidence in their peers.

The main aim of this study was to investigate the new generation in order to identify their distinctive characteristics considering their everyday technology use during their lifespan. The secondary aim was to examine the needs of individuals in the Generation-Z in educational environments equipped with technology. A mixed-method research design was utilized. Data were collected by the New Generation Characteristics Scale (NGCS), and by an interview form. The participants of this study were 882 university students. The quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential techniques, and the qualitative data using content analysis. As a result, participants’ internet and social media use frequency was found to be related with their NGCS scores. Internet use from childhood was also found to be an important characteristic for Generation-Z. On the other hand, socio economical statuses were not effective in identifying Generation-Z members. In addition, it was seen that interactive technological applications should be included in the courses in which students can work in collaboration. The students preferred interactive technologies and applications, supporting multitasking features of Generation-Z. In addition, the students wanted to see the availability of more flexible environments, such as online discussions and access to materials outside the classroom. In this study, Generation-Z was more open to cooperation, and they had higher communication skills, which is consistent with previous research.

Curriculum is a guide to the implementation of learning activities to achieve educationalgoals. The Education Unit Level curriculum in 2006 was refined into the 2013 curriculum, the2013 curriculum is a new curriculum that was implemented in the 2013/2014 school year, yet thesocialization has not been comprehensive. There is a hesitation that it will not be carried outproperly by educators due to the difficulties that the educators obtained. This study aims todetermine the difficulties faced by science teachers in the implementation of 2013 curriculumlearning, this research is descriptive analytic. The research method was carried out through twoactivities: field and non-field activities. The data taken were quantitative data from questionnairesand interviews, while qualitative data were taken through observation. Subjects in this study wereteachers in the seventh grade Natural Sciences (IPA) class, the students, and the representatives ofthe curriculum. The results showed that the difficulties experienced by the teachers in implementingthe Lesson Plan (RPP) were very low at only 11%, parallel with the difficulties in implementinglearning with only 16.2%, and the difficulties in evaluating with only 34 %. The low percentage ofdifficulties indicates that it is not the aspect of learning implementation that complicates the 2013curriculum but other aspects. Based on the study, it can also be concluded that the 2013curriculum is effective to be implemented despite the fact that some teachers had not participatedin the 2013 curriculum socialization. Mostly, the teachers had carried out the 2013 curriculumlearning activities effectively, students also partly responded well and were motivated to learn withthe 2013 curriculum implementation. Parts of the data also revealed statements about difficulties inlearning with the 2013 curriculum. The data explicated that the students were not motivated andnot involved in learning activities due to the curriculum implementation.Keywords: teacher difficulties, 2013 curriculum, 2013 curriculum learning Abstrak. Kurikulum merupakan pedoman penyelenggaraan kegiatan pembelajaran untuk mencapai tujuan pendidikan. Kurikulum Tingkat Satuan Pendidikan pada tahun 2006 disempurnakan menjadi kurikulum 2013, kurikulum 2013 merupakan kurikulum baru yang mulai diterapkan pada tahun ajaran 2013/2014, sosialisasinya belum menyeluruh dan dikhawatirkan tidak terlaksana dengan baik oleh para tenaga pendidik yang secara langsung menerapkannya, dan para tenaga pendidik tersebut ada beberapa kesulitan yang dialaminya.Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui kesulitan yang dihadapi guru IPA dalam pelaksanaan pembelajaran kurikulm 2013, jenis penelitian ini adalah  deskriptif analitik. Metode penelitian dilaksanakan melalui dua kegiatan yaitu kegiatan lapangan dan non lapangan. Data yang diambil adalah data kuantitatif dari angket dan wawancara, dan kualitatif  melalui observasi . Subjek dalam penelitian ini adalah guru Ilmu Pengetahuan Alam  (IPA) kelas VII, siswa, dan wakil kurikulum.Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kesulitan yang dialami guru dalam menyususn Rencana Pelaksanaan Pembelajaran (RPP) sangat rendah yaitu hanya 11%, kesulitan dalam melaksanakan pembelajaran juga sama yaitu sangat rendah hanya 16,2%, dan kesulitan dalam mengevaluasi proses dan hasil pembelajaran rendah presentasenya sebesar 34%. Presentase kesulitan sangat rendah dan rendah berarti bukan aspek dalam melaksanakan pembelajaran yang menyulitkan kurikulum 2013 untuk terlaksana dengan baik, tapi dari aspek-aspek yang lain yang dapat mempengaruhinya. Berdasarkan penelitian juga dapat disimpulkan bahwa kurikulum 2013 bagus diterapkan tetapi dilapangan masih didapati guru yang belum mengikuti sosialisasi kurikulum 2013, tapi guru sudah melaksanakan kegiatan pembelajaran kurikulum 2013 dengan baik, siswa juga sebagian merespon bagus dan termotivasi semangat belajar dengan kurikulum 2013, dan ada juga sebagian yang responya negatif dengan pernyataannya bahwa belajar dengan kurikulum 2013 sangat menyulitkan siswa, siswa tidak termotivasi dan tidak merasa dilibatkan di dalam kegiatan pembelajaran.   Kata kunci: Kesulitan guru, kurikulum 2013, pembelajaran kurikulum 2013.
