Abstract:

Student brawls that lead to criminal activities called klithih (a Javanese term for violence among teenage students) is currently rampant in Yogyakarta Special Region (DIY). This condition cannot be separated from the weakening role of families and schools in nurturing the students. In general, teenagers need their existence to be acknowledged in their struggle for identity. Their self and group existence needs to be shown, so that other teenagers or groups will not look down on them. The teenagers? failure in the process of their identity search is what plunges them in deviant behaviors such as engaging in brawls. The rapid social change through information technology and the cultural change from agrarian to industrial society are suspected to be the causes of the waning parenting and relations among family members. The parenting style that initially focused on families when society was agrarian has shifted to a style that delegates the parenting role to the formal education in the current industrial society. In light of this situation, this research aimed to develop a model of relationships between students? parents and schools in order to handle student brawls. This research utilized a qualitative and a quantitative approach with descriptive analysis technique. The result showed that 65.6% of the community of Yogyakarta stated or agreed that group violence especially klithih had increased in the last year, and the main cause was the weakening role of parents (65.5%) and schools (39.6% %). The negative action, klithih, is a manifestation of improper identity searching because it demonstrates a lack of self-control. The process of searching for self-identity among teenagers requires assistance from the closest people, especially family. However, some informants whose children were involved in klithih stated that they did not need to accompany and guide their teenage children in searching their identity because they believed that their children should be independent. Therefore, efforts must be made to create a good synergy between the school and parents in handling student brawls. One example is improving good communication between the two parties in coaching and supervising teenage students, especially through a model of personal communication involving information technology. read more

Abstract:

Now ears of Indonesians are familiar with the sound of Dandut Koplo. Many kinds of television programs almost every night plays dangdut contest shows. Not only that, many kinds of dangdut koplo songs are more varied to be created. A certain condition is different from the emerge of Dangdut Koplo in television in early 2000s. Instead of running well, dangdut koplo has been having pressure from a number of parties, starting from Rhoma Irama – the king of dangdut – to Indonesia Broadcasting Committee in West Java that forbid some songs aired on the radio because of the negative element (see http://x.detik.com/detail/intermeso/2016 0530/Digemari-Dulu-Dicekal- Kemudian-/index.php) and many other violations. Departing from this, we can realize that negative stigma is very strongly embedded by the society on dangdut koplo. The performance between Rhoma Irama Dangdut and Dangdut Koplo makes the existence of significance that is quite big. Meaning that the difference between the two dangduts is very distant, it leaves subjective evaluation that sometimes is disadvantageous for one party. The effect of the negative stigma is embedded not only socially, but also musically. In this matter, the musical of dangdut koplo is also given the negative stigma not in the musicality frame or logic, but social and morality logic. Furthermore, it can be related to auditive experience of the society. It cannot be denied that the significance of dangdut and dangdut koplo makes the listeners ? both pros and cons ? able to classify the difference between dangdut and dangdut koplo auditively, where dangdut can be enjoyed more, with the lyrics, music, to the performance rather than dangdut koplo performance. The assumption is not denied that its development is quite massive in the mind of the society recently. Dangdut koplo with its various characteristics receives negative stigma from many layers of society, starting from religious experts, common people, to the king of dangdut Rhoma Irama. Dangdut is considered to have moralistic lyrics, swinging music, to well-mannered performance. Rhoma Irama even differs esthetic dance and erotic dance, erotic dance is associated with dangdut koplo. read more

The students scored lower than hearing students known to have lower score on vocabulary knowledge and syntax. Although they have lower score, deaf children have the same pattern of comprehension with the hearing students. Among the five levels of Barrett’ reading taxonomy: literal, reorganization, inferential, evaluation, and appreciation, deaf children and the 4th grade hearing students perform well on literal comprehension. Meanwhile good deaf reader and 4th grade students can cope inference task better than poor deaf reader. The lowest score obtained by poor deaf reader is on evaluation task. This tendency is the same as the score of the 4th hearing students.
