Introduction

Factual Problems and Proposed Solution

The cooperation between students and the lecturer

The most used technique in teaching

A teaching model leading a learning process to build students’ characters

Reflective model by Dewey (1933) and developed by Richards and Lockhart (1996)

Why Reflective Teaching?

Train the students’ comprehension toward the

learning materialsSharpen the nation characters to the students by doing the

process

Lead to self-directed learning

What is solved here?

Research Problem

• Do the students who are taught using reflective model perform better in learning Psycholinguistics than those who are taught using conventional method?

Objective

• to find out whether the students who are taught using reflective model as the character building learning model perform better in learning Psycholinguistics than those who are taught using conventional method

What is actually Reflective Model?

Basic Assumption

• A learner is an individual having competence to see the past and the future conditions by reflecting the present values

What is reflected?

• Learning materials toward comprehension• Students’ thoughts toward the designed characters• Learning activities toward the learning objective

How to Teach University Students Using Reflective Model

Confronting the tasks

• selecting learning activities, preparing students for a new learning, presenting learning activities, asking questions, etc

Determining Lecturer’s Belief

• Beliefs in the materials, teaching coorperation, progress, lack, etc

Using the Previous Valuable Experience

• a) experience as a learner, b) experience of what works best, c) established practice, d) personality factors, e) educationally based or research-based principles, and f) principles derived from an approach or method

What Subject do I teach to test?

Technically

• The students should acquire the materials both theoretically

Practically

• They should also habituate to build the good characters in learning Psycholinguistics.

Research Method

Quasi-experimental research applying non-randomized pretest-posttest control group design (Ary: 1979). Since non-randomized pretest-posttest control group design was used in this research, the researcher applies ANCOVA formula to prove the hypothesis as suggested by Pallant (2000, chapter 20: 1)

Research FindingsTest on Linearity

Levene's Test of Equality of Error Variancesa

A Newly Qualified Model in Building Students’ Character

• Quality by the students’ habituation to be always honest in sharing what they get from conducting the mini research they get and to lessen the plagiarism.

• Moreover, the students get used to discussing what they face to reflect and review the best way out they need to their problems.

Summing Up

The results of this study shows that the reflective model as the character building learning model is effective in learning Psycholinguistics which is designed to improve students’ characters, honesty and share.
