Sinkretisme Dalam Slametan Ritual Ulur-Ulur, Luqman Hakim, M. Yoesoef

Paradigma: Jurnal Kajian Budaya

This research aims to explain the hidden narrative in the slametan of the ulur-ulur ritual at Telaga Buret, Sawo Village, Campurdarat District, Tulungagung Regency.

Data were obtained through participatory research and in-depth interview. The collected data were then transcribed and analyzed using related theories. This research shows that in slametan, syncretic narratives are beautifully woven into the …

Reading Highly Interactive Electronic Storybooks Vs. Minimally Interactive Electronic Books: Relative Influence On Time On Task, Narrative Retell, And Parental Perceptions, Jose Humberto Carrasco

Open Access Theses & Dissertations

The purpose of this study was to investigate whether there was a difference in percentage of book read and the complexity of the narrative retell when children read highly interactive electronic books (e-books) versus minimally interactive e-books. An area to study further was parent's perceptions of their children's preference of highly versus minimally interactive e-book. A single subject rapid-alternating treatment design was used on three children (4-6 years of age). The participants read and then provided a narrative retell of both e-books over a 12-week period. Children's percentage of book read, grammar elements, cohesion elements, and proposition use were analyzed. …
