but the threat they bring to artistic culture. From his opening mockery of the literary establishment’s tendency to theorize the world in terms of desire or gender to his disapproval of those who venerate art while denying its validity in the same breath, Jonathan Dollimore has created an easily understood, albeit at times too theoretical, synthesis of the literary and the experiential in Sex, Literature and Censorship. His arguments on critical theory do not necessarily reject the concept of theory; rather, he argues that critical theorists should strive to understand the contradictions within our lives and our literature and explore the daemonic power of the subjects that offend our sense of tradition.

Recently, multimodality has attracted the attention of researchers, notably in the educational milieu. However, only a few studies reported on the way students perceived the use of Genre-Based Multimodal Texts Analysis (GBMTA) for teaching multimodality. After addressing the gap, this study focuses on students’ perceptions on the use of GBMTA in multimodality teaching in higher education. Sixty-nine students were involved in the study. Each of the students produced one journal through three meetings. The journals were then collected for document analysis and thematic analysis (Braun & Clarke, 2006). The findings reveal that the students perceived GBMTA as facilitating them in the building of multimodal discourse analysis, challenges and solutions of comprehending multimodal teaching materials, planning better learning strategies in the future, engagement on multimodal learning issues, and multimodal text analysis practices. This study contributes to multimodality teaching or multimodal discourse analysis within genre-based learning.

Di era revolusi industri 4.0, teknologi harus menjadi alternatif pilihan yang digunakan oleh guru dalam menyampaikan materi kepada siswanya, sehingga pembelajaran menjadi lebih kontekstual, faktual, dan mampu membangun kemandirian belajar para siswa. Seperti contoh pengajaran berbasis gamifikasi menjadi sangat penting ketika lingkungan belajar yang ditunjang dengan teknologi dapat membantu para siswa memperoleh pengetahuan dengan cara-cara yang menantang dan menyenangkan. Kemandirian belajar dan berpikir kritis dapat terbentuk dan ditingkatkan melalui pembelajaran berbasis gamifikasi ketika pembelajaran menghendaki siswa berperan aktif dan bertanggung jawab terhadap keberhasilan belajarnya sendiri, di samping berkat bantuan bimbingan guru. Workshop pengembangan media pembelajaran berbasis gamifikasi terbukti dapat memecahkan masalah yang dihadapi para guru, khususnya guru-guru di lingkungan pondok pesantren Al Amin Sindangkasih Kabupaten Ciamis yang berkenaan dengan kemampuan menciptakan pembelajaran bahasa berbantuan teknologi ( technology-aided teaching ) yang masih rendah. Program ini dapat membantu para guru dalam memanfaatkan teknologi untuk kegiatan pembelajaran di kelas, bahkan di luar kelas. Workshop ini diikuti oleh 20 orang peserta yang berasal dari MTs dan MA Persis-Pondok Pesantren Al Amin Sindangkasih Kabupaten Ciamis selama dua bulan. Materi yang diberikan berkenaan dengan pemilihan materi belajar yang sesuai dengan kebutuhan dan kemampuan peserta didik ( material selection ) dan pengembangan media pengajaran dengan bantuan teknologi gamifikasi. Program ini dikemas dalam bentuk workshop pengembangan media pembelajaran berbasis gamifikasi dengan tahapan: orientasi, diskusi, ekplorasi materi, aksi, tes, dan refleksi. Data dikumpulkan melalui observasi, interview , dan dokumen, sehingga kinerja peserta dan instruktur selama pelaksanaan program dapat terkontrol dengan baik dan menghasilkan kualitas pembelajaran berbasis teknologi yang efektif dan terukur.
