Irrigation Contractors' Selection AndEvaluation Model Based On A Multi-Criteria And Data AnalysisMohamed Abdel-Hamid, Hanaa MohamedAbdelhaleem

The irrigation structures such as bridges,culverts, weirs and syphons are the mostimportant projects in development thecountries. The aim of this study is to choosethe most efficient irrigation contractors forgovernment procurement based on a multi-criteria and data analysis. When proposals arepresented, the awarding board will determinethe tender assessment measures of the bidsreceived in advance. The research recommenda decision-making framework to support theawarding board in this hard mission whileretaining a clear process in line withgovernment procurement rules and conditions,as well as ensuring equal and fair assessmentof all proposals. In this respect, the cross-efficiency evaluation has been used among theeligible candidates to select the bestcontractor. The suggested methodology allowsthe evaluation of quantitative contractorchoice data and preserves the transparencyfunctionality required by governmentprocurement. Additionally, all proposals areanalyzed similarly without any subjectiveadjusting by the public officers according tothe same quantitative weights.

Weight Optimization Of SupportRoller By Using Theoretical, FiniteElement And Experimental AnalysisPrasad M Patil, Gajanan C Koli

An appropriate design of Support roller issignificant for satisfactory performance ofconveyor system. A number of Support rollersand return rollers are used in conveyor systemso that the excess weight of the Support rolleraffects the total weight of system and alsoenhances the power consumption. Excessmaterial used in conveyor system does notadd any values in the performance on thecontrary it reduces energy efficiency andincreases manufacturing cost. It is notable todecrease power consumption andmanufacturing cost of material handlingsector. So that, in this paper we intended toreduce weight of Support roller to increaseenergy efficiency of conveyor system withreduction in material cost by weightoptimization of roller.[View Full Paper] [Download] [References]

The parameters of naturalrainfall, surface runoff, and erosion rates aremeasured, analyzed, and compared during theexperiment. The results show that naturalrainfall has a very significant effect in causingsurface runoff and erosion rates that occur indate palm plantations. The application of thesilt pit has been able to reduce the effects ofsurface runoff and erosion rates of 88.55%,85.42%, respectively. A model for estimatingerosion rates that occur on date palmplantations has also been developed with areliable level of accuracy.[View Full Paper] [Download] [References]

A New Modified Version Of Gauss-Seidel Iterative Method UsingGrouping Relaxation ApproachBaher A. Haleem, Ihab M. El Aghoury, Bahaa S.Tork, Hisham A. El-Arabaty

Systems of linear equations appear in manyareas either directly as in modeling physicalsituations or indirectly as in the numericalsolutions of other mathematical models. Thesolution of the linear equations’ system isprobably the most important issue innumerical methods like the finite elementmethod (FEM). Using the finite elementmethod in modeling various structures, witheither simple or complicated configuration ofelements, in structural engineering becameprevalent many years ago. There are two maintypes of solvers depending on whether theused method is direct or iterative (indirect)method. In contrast to the iterativetechniques, the direct techniques providealmost exact solutions, however they are notconvenient for some situations, including butnot limited to huge systems of equations. Insuch situations, the iterative solvers arefavored as they have privileges concerningsolving speed and storage requirements. Inaddition, indirect solvers are simpler toprogram. This research focuses on using theClassical (Stationary) iterative techniques forsolving linear systems of equations. The mainobjective of this research is to develop a newmodified version of the well-known Gauss-Seidel (GS) iterative technique which isadapted to solving problems in structuralengineering. The proposed techniqueremarkably outperforms GS techniqueregarding the required number of iterationsand the convergence speed. In this paper, thedifferences between the direct and iterativeapproaches have been discussed, along with aquick overview of some of the methodsunderlying these two classes. Then, the ideaand algorithm of the new proposed “ModifiedGauss-Seidel” (MGS) technique have beenelucidated. Afterward, the algorithm has beenprogrammed and used to solve some 2DPractical Examples, besides using theconventional Jacobi and GS techniques.

Generation Gap In Hatimu Aisyah ByZurinah Hassan: A Matter OfEmotional DistanceDr. Halis Azhan Mohd. Hanafiah, AssociateProfessor Dr. Zaitul Azma Zainon,

This research aims to discuss ‘generation gap’as a matter of emotional distance, asportrayed in the novel Hatimu Aisyah byZurinah Hassan. The term ‘generation gap’ isusually associated with the difference inbeliefs, thoughts, values and tastes of twodifferent generations, particularly between theold generations and the younger ones. Thedifferences thus cause difficulties incommunication, inflict conflicts, andfurthermore, may initiate emotional distancebetween the two generations. The researchoutlines three objectives to achieve, (1) toidentify the characters conflicting with theissues of generation gaps in Hatimu Aisyah byZurinah Hassan; (2) to classify causes ofconflicts pertaining the issues of generationgaps in Hatimu Aisyah by Zurinah Hassan, and(3) to relate the issues of generation gap withsocial changes in Hatimu Aisyah by ZurinahHassan. This research employs close readingmethod. The primary source is the novelHatimu Aisyah by Zurinah Hassan, firstpublished by Dewan Bahasa dan Pustaka in1991. The secondary sources include journals,books, articles, references or other sourcesthat enable further understanding on theissues highlighted in the primary source. To

clarify further on the issues of generationgaps, the research also employs the theory ofPsychosocial Stages of Development by Eric H.Erikson. Erikson outlines eight confrontingstages in one’s life, namely (1) infant (basictrust vs basic mistrust), (2) toddler (autonomyvs shame & doubt), (3) preschooler (initiativevs guilt), (4) school-ager (industry vsinferiority), (5) adolescent (identity vs roleconfusion), (6) young adult (intimacy vsisolation), (7) middle age (generativity vsstagnation) and (8) older adult (ego-integrityvs despair). The results later indicate thatthere are four groups of people conflicting withthe issues of generation gaps, eachrepresented by Aisyah’s mother(grandmother), Aisyah (mother), Jamilah,Latifah, Hamid, Aziz and Rohani (sons anddaughters) and Azizah, Rodiah and Anisah(granddaughters). The causes of conflicts aredue to perception of these generations on (1)the types of education they received, (2) theinfluence of modernization and (3) the declineof traditional customs. It is later clear that themore the younger generations accustomed tothe social changes, the wider the gap would beexpanded, thus the more possibilitiesemotional distance occur among the oldergenerations who are still bound to theinheritance.[View Full Paper] [Download] [References]

A workload adjustment is an important factorin any type of work. Adjustment of physicalworkload must be maintained in balance tomake employees not burnt out by excessiveworkload when carrying out their activities.Excessive workload can lead to decreasedwork productivity, work motivation, workinjuries, and reduced concentration. Thisservice company is one of the state companiesrun in shipping and logistics servicesbusinesses. It must be able to control theworkload to make it appropriate for itsemployees. The service company owns manysubsidiaries throughout Indonesia, althoughdifficult to evaluate, this company must beable to balance the physical workload in itsentire company. One example from the branchof Malang Raya showed an unbalancedphysical workload. Therefore it is necessary tomeasure the workload in this study byapplying the Cardiovascular Load (CVL)Method. This method is used by severalprevious studies to measure the physicalworkloads. The measurement instrument togauge the physical workload is an oximeter.Participants in this study were the employeeswith a total amount of 30 people. It conveysan average result of 40.75 % from 30employees taken of the branch of MalangRaya. This result measurement categorized ashigh classification of workload so thatimprovements are needed to help in balancingthe physical workload which experienced bymost of its employees. From the workloadmeasurement, this service company shouldconsider the evenly distributed tasks orworkloads over each employee in thiscompany, especially for those who haveexperienced physical overload. In addition, itis necessary to consider additional employeesat branches of service companies whoseworking conditions had reached the workloadlimit. As for the next researcher, it can beanalyzed to see the mental workload andemployee needs for each branch of this servicecompany.[View Full Paper] [Download] [References]

The Effect Of Naoh Catalyst On TheManufacture Of Biodiesel From CrudePalm Oil Using TransesterificationReactionNetty Herawati , Mardwita, Muhammad RizkiArdianysah

Biodiesel seems to be an energy that hasbright prospects and future, because Biodieselis non-toxic, biodegradable, essentialy free ofsulfur and carcinogenic benzene, producedfrom renewable materials, recyclable sources,does not add significantly to the accumulationof greenhouse gases. In general, biodiesel ismade from transesterification reactions, i.e.alcohol reactions with triglycerides formmethyl esters and glycerol with the help ofbase catalysts. In the manufacture ofbiodiesel, crude palm oil (CPO) raw materialsare obtained from PT. Sinar Mas Sejahtera inPrabumulih, South Sumatra. This research wasconducted by reacting the comparison ratio ofCPO: Methanol (in this study the ratio is 1: 2,1 : 3 and 1 : 4) with the help of NaOHcatalysts (in this study catalysts used 1%,1.5% and 2%) temperature of 70oC for ±3hours. Through this experiment, biodiesel yieldwas obtained at cpo variation 1: 4 with NaOHcatalyst of 1.5% by 70%. The final results ofthis study, from CPO and Methanol varying canbe concluded that not all parameterscorrespond to SNI where the density obtainedis 0.8387 while SNI (0.850 – 0.890 gr/ml).

In India, all Tier -1 cities have METRO Railand/or BRTS as a mass rapid transportsystem. Very few tier-2 cities have MRTS andcurrently they are depending on city busservice for public transportation needs. Evenpublic transportation in these cities isdepleting and expenditure is increasing. Forproviding more service to people and coveragearea each year system expansion is done andbasic cost is not recovered by operating theTransit service from normal fare (directincome). For this subsidy is given to ULB. Inmany case the indirect income is more thanthe direct income. For this improving the levelof service is important to maintain and/ orimprove the transit ridership.

based on expert’s opinion. In that quantitativecriteria are based on the performance of thetransit system and qualitative criteria are notconsider. Also the users’ and operators’perspective may differ from the expertopinion. Hence it’s required to measure thetransit service attribute based on users’perspective to know the actual demand/exaptation from the people. Operators aredriving the transit service based on therevenue generation and because of this theyneglecting to enhance the important serviceattribute. Also it’s important to consider theoperators’ requirement to maintain the transitservice. Therefore, improving existing servicelevels of public transport systems is required,in order to counter the challenges of risingtrends of private vehicle ownership andenvironmental pollution. Improved level ofservice for public transit will improve userperception (i.e, customer satisfaction) ofexisting transit service quality amongst captiveriders, choice riders and potential transitriders.[View Full Paper] [Download] [References]

Performance Of Rice Husk ScrewFeeder For Fixed Bed CombustionTamaria Panggabean, Tineke Mandang, LeopoldOscar Nelwan, Wawan Hermawan

The accuracy and smoothness of the husk fuelfeed in a fixed bed combustion furnace is veryimportant in improving the performance of thehusk combustion. In this study, a screw feederwas designed to feed rice husks into thecombustion chamber, according to combustionrequirements smoothly. The feedingmechanism used is that the husk from thehopper is fed into a screw feeder which isrotated by an electric motor. The husk feedingrate can be regulated by controlling therotational speed of the electric motor using aninverter. For smooth feeding, a tapered outerdiameter screw was used with the screw outerdiameter enlarging from 48 mm at the inlet to69 mm at the outlet. The husk feedingperformance was tested in: 1) the non-combustion conditions and 2) the combustionconditions in a fixed bed furnace. The resultsof the performance test without combustionshowed that the feed rate of the huskincreased linearly with the increasing of thescrew rotating speed. The husk feeding rate at10-35 rpm screw rotating speed was 2.85-10.91 g/s. In the combustion test, the screwfeeder could feed the husks to the combustionchamber smoothly. The temperature of thecombustion chamber increased as the huskfeed increases. There was no significantincrease in temperature in the screw feederand no burning of husks in the screw feeder.[View Full Paper] [Download] [References]

Biomass is the world’s most commonly usedsource of renewable electricity today. It isused primarily in strong form and, to a smallerdegree, oil fuels or petrol. In contemporarytimes, the use of biomass for energygeneration has risen at only a small pace.Biomass is the primary source of energy inIndonesia. Biomass is used to fulfil a range ofenergy requirements, including producingelectricity, heating households, fueling carsand supplying industrial equipment with a heatprocess. Biomass potential includes wastefrom timber, animals and plants. Amongbiomass power sources, fuelwood might be themost important since it accounts for a large17% share of Indonesia total powermanufacturing. The complete biomass energypotential in Indonesia is about 38 million tonsof oil equivalents (Mtoe). The quantity ofbiomass that can be used in Indonesia isroughly 32 Mtoe. The potential for electricalmanufacturing from usable bioenergy sourcesin 2012 is 83 MW and corporate revenue,representing more than 350,000 jobs.

1. INTRODUCTION Early childhood children are individuals who are undergoing vast development process and fundamental changes for their further lives. In this stage of their lives, development, and growth process in various aspects are quickly changing. Dhieni [1] viewed that there was a strong correlation between language developments learning to read. The best way to help children to learn to read is through reading books for them and accompanying them in reading and having various interesting books in class.A wide extent of recent literature has proven that children can be taught to read before they reach the school-age (5-7 years old). Durkin, as cited in Dhieni [2], has studied the influence of early reading ability on children. He concluded that there were no negative effects on children who were able to read early in their age. Children who were taught to read before they enrolled in elementary school are generally more progressive compared to those who were never taught to read early. The benefits of teaching children to read early based on the teaching and learning process were (1) fulfilling children’s curiosity; (2) intimate and informal situation at home, learning group or in kindergarten; (3) early age children are sensitive in general, thus, easy to impress, and easy to manage; (4) children can learn something quickly and easily. From several arguments of the experts presented above, it can be concluded that developing early reading ability is an

appropriate and positive thing for children [3]. Reading is perceptive written language ability. Reading skill is a complex activity and involved various skills. Thus, reading activity is an integrated activity, which involves several activities, such as, recognizing the Hijaiyah alphabets, linking them to sound, meaning, and pronouncing those alphabets according to the way they are produced.

Click the forward arrow in the pop-up tool bar to modify the header or footer on subsequent pages. Hijaiyah alphabet (or Arabic alphabets, throughout this paper, will be referred to as Hijaiyah) is the alphabets in which the Qur’an was written with, consisting of 28–30 letters including the alif. Recognizing and becoming apt in reading this alphabet is an objective of learning in each educational institution, both formal and non-formal. Learning the hijaiyah alphabets are initiated with alphabets introduction, reading symbols (fathah, kasroh, and dhummah) and the way to pronounce those letters according to the way they are produced. Therefore, initial reading for hijaiyah alphabets is becoming essential for the Qur’an learning at Al Ishlah kindergarten of Gorontalo city. Reading needs visual assistance, which could help children, such as flashcard. Schramm stated that learning media is a message conveyor technology, which can be utilized for the needs of learning. In sync with this, Gagne wrote that media are various types of components in the learners’ environment to motivate them to learn. The readiness for early reading means that mentally children are ready to learn to read. In general, children are ready to learn to read at the age of 6 years old. However, several studies pointed out that reading readiness has happened before children reach the age of six, or in kindergarten age. At this time, children are starting to become aware that words are statements of symbols that contain meaning. Thus, they will further start focusing their attention on two or more aspects of words and their pictures [4]. Based on the initial observation on Group B children, there were children who find it difficult to read the hijaiyah alphabets, even there were some who find it difficult to pronounce the hijaiyah alphabets. Children were yet able to recognize the entire

hijaiyah alphabet, thus their reading ability was low. This was due to several things such as, first, teachers were yet to use interesting media, activities were teacher-centered, more focused on using the student’s worksheet, and lack of children’s ability in memorizing the alphabets. Interview with several parents revealed that at home, children spent most of their time playing with their gadgets, as well as lack of repetition on hijaiyah alphabets, and early reading hijaiyah alphabets. Based on the description above, it was suspected that children early reading ability can be increased using the flashcard media. Thus, this study was titled, ―the influence of visual media and learning style on the early reading ability of the Group B children at Al Ishlah Kindergarten Gorontalo City.‖

2 THEORETICAL REVIEW 2.1 The nature of early reading ability Syaodih [5] revealed that kindergarten children are individuals who are undergoing various development processes, from physical, intellectual, social, emotional development, and language development. These various aspects of development could normally be developed when the environment also positively contributes to children development. However, in reality, there are children who experience obstacles that influence their development. Hurlock [6] revealed that kindergarten children are children age 4 to 6 years old, which is also known as the golden age. Such is due to the best development time of children in this phase, as the first five years of a child’s life, which provided a critical foundation for the next stage of their lives. Children who experience a happy childhood and fulfilled physical and mental needs at an early age are more likely able to go through the next stage of development seamlessly. On the definition above, it can be concluded that kindergarten children are children age 4–6 years old who are undergoing development phase in all aspects of their lives. Children in their first stage of early reading (6-7 years old) or the initial stage of decoding. In this stage, children focus on the correlation between letter and sound and increase their knowledge of spelling. Children are fully dependent on written text. In this stage, children are able to hear the phonemes through words, increase their ability to describe words, and also to start to observe words from vocabularies, which can guide them to become competent readers. The description of early reading encompasses (1) focus on writing, meaning and knowledge from the story; (2) focus on the shape of words and sounds that are relevant to symbols; and (3) coordinate knowledge between writing and story. In the initial reading phase, children can start with reading a simple story [7]. Zuchdi and Budiasih [8] wrote that materials that can be taught in early readings are:

1. Pronunciation and intonation of words and simple sentences,

2. Letters that are mostly used in words and simple sentences that are familiar to students (letters are introduced gradually up to 14 letters),

3. New meaningful words (using familiar letters) such as a store, cassava, toys, eyes, guest,

4. Pronunciation an intonation of the familiar and new words (letters introduced from letter number 10 to 20

th

letters).

2.2 Visual Learning Style Each child has visual potential as an ability to see and observe things, thus, obtained information on those things. Children with visual learning style would be quick to understand things being described by the teacher when they can see it directly, or through looking at the pictures and through reading (regardless that in kindergarten, reading is not the primary activity). Children with a visual learning style would find it easy to understand something through symbols or pictures. Children with visual learning style are easy to identify through their characteristics that eager to observe something, their interest in pictures and symbols. When learners have this characteristic, then the teacher is to select a learning strategy that draws their interest through pictures or symbols for them to easily recognize and memorizing something in relation to the intended learning objectives. Below are strategies that can be implemented by the teacher in learning activities for children with visual learning style. The characteristics of this learning style are:

1. Always try to see the lips of the teacher while he/she is teaching.

2. When getting direction on how to do something, student usually will see how others do it before he/she does it.

3. Tend to use body language (to express and replace words) when describing something.

4. Dislikes speaking in front of the group and does not like to listen to others.

5. Usually less able to memorize oral information. 6. Prefer a demonstration than an oral explanation. 7. Usually able to sit peacefully among the noisy situation

without feeling disturbed. 2.3 Visual Media Visual media itself are media that only involves sighting sense. Several types of this media are printed-verbal media, graphic-printed media, and non-printed visual media. First, visual-verbal media are media which contains verbal message (linguistic message in the form of writing). Second, non-verbal graphic media is visual media which contains a non-verbal message such as, visual symbols or graphic elements, such as pictures (sketches, painting, and photo), graphic, diagram, charts, and maps. Third, non-verbal three-dimension media are models like miniature, mock-up, specimen, and diorama. As learning media in general, visual media also used various means to assist the learning process in school. Flashcard media is one of the visual media to develop early reading skill in children. According to Levie & Lentz (as cited in Arsyad) [9] there were four functions of learning media, especially visual media, such as (a) attention function, (b) affective function, (c) cognitive function, and (d) compensatory function. It can be concluded that flashcard as a visual media to develop early reading ability in children that visual signs or pictures can accelerate the achievement of the objectives to understand and memorize information or messages within the pictures. Indriyana [10] wrote that poster is a combination of clear, eye-catching, and interesting visual to attract attention. It means that a poster is a colorful and attractive picture that can be used by the teacher as a medium to deliver learning materials to be interesting for students and assist them in understanding the materials. Sudjana and Rivai [11] wrote that poster is a visual combination of strong design with color and message intended to attract people’s attention for a long time to deliver



a memorable message to a person who sees it.

3 RESEARCH METHODE This study used experiment method treatment level 2 x 2 of ANAVA which involved several variables categorized below:

1. Dependence variable (Y) = early reading ability 2. Independent variable (X) = visual media 3. Confounding variable = learning style

The sampling technique in this study was random sampling. The samples were 48 students in Group B of kindergarten treated using flashcard media. The score of the test from the instrument implementation was sequenced from the highest score to the lowest score. The score was classified into 33% of the upper group and 33% of the lowest group as sample. This study used inferential analysis to test the analysis requirement and hypothesis test, which consisted of : a)normality test with Liliefors test where the criteria was H0 would be rejected when L0 was larger than Ltable and H0 would be accepted when L0 was less than Ltable; b)the variance homogeneity test using Barlet test with the criteria of H0 would be rejected if X

hypothesis and if there were interaction between learning media and learning style toward the early reading ability then the hypothesis test would be carried out by Tuckey test with the criteria of H0 would be rejected when tcount was larger than ttable and would be accepted if tcount was less than ttable.

4 RESULTS Based on the summary of ANAVA above, it can be described that:

1. The result of two pathways variance analysis between the columns obtains the Fcount= 5.259 and was larger than the Ftable= 4.20 in the significance level of α = 0.05. This means that the noel hypothesis is rejected, hence the alternative hypothesis which stated that there were significant differences in early reading ability between the students taught using flashcard media and those taught using letter poster media is significantly accepted. As this difference has been pointed out, then the children’s learning styles were analyzed. It is revealed that the average score for early reading ability on children taught using flashcard media (A1) was 30.25 more visual than the average score of children taught using the letter poster (A2) was 27.50. Therefore, the first hypothesis which stated that the initial reading ability on children taught using flash card media was more visual than those taught using letter poster.

2. The variance analysis result between B (learning style) showed that the value of Fcount = 4.720 and was larger than Ftable= 4.20 in the significance level of α = 0.05. This means that the noel hypothesis was rejected; hence, alternative hypothesis stating that there were differences on the early reading ability of children who have visual learning style and those with kinesthetic learning style is significantly accepted. This learning media differences pointed out that initial reading ability of the children is more visual between the two treatments. The result of the analysis showed that the average score on the initial reading ability of the visual learning style children (B1) was 31.00 higher than the

average score in early reading ability of the children with kinesthetic learning style (B2) by 28.44. Therefore, the second hypothesis stating that there was an interaction between learning style and early reading ability of the Group B kindergarten children is significantly accepted.

3. Based on the ANAVA test on significant interaction between learning style and early reading ability of the children, it is proven that there is a significant influence of the two variables on the early reading ability of the children, which further tested using the t-test.

Further analysis using Tuckey test for two groups of the compared subject reveals:

1. The T-test result for (A1B1) children with visual learning style shows that flashcard media is able to increase their early reading ability compared to the letter poster.

This is evident in the tcount = 5.63 ttable= 2.037 (=0.05). Also, the average score of group A1B1 (χ = 5.63) is higher than group A2B1 (χ = 2.037). It means that the hypothesis is accepted or significantly tested.

2. The result for t-test for children in the group (A2B2) with a kinesthetic learning style showed that poster letter could increase early reading ability on children compared to the flashcard media (A1B2). This is proven

by tcount = 2.39 ttable= 2.037 (=0.05). Also, the score from group A2B2 (χ =2.39) is higher than the group A1B2 (χ = 2.037). This means that this hypothesis is significantly accepted.

5 DISCUSSION Early reading focuses on children conditioning to initiate and recognize reading materials. It was yet to focus on the understanding of the reading materials, even more on comprehensive mastery of the materials and presenting the result from the readings. At the pre-school age, children are stimulated to be able to do an early reading. Early reading is taught on pre-school children. This program is a daily program on complete vocabularies, and meaningful within the personal context of the children and using the materials delivered through games and interesting activities as media of learning. Based on the description of this research finding, it is obtained that children that meet the indicator of recognizing the hijaiyah alphabets, linking them with their sounds in average have a good initial reading ability. The ability of the Group B children at PPIT Al Ishlah, as revealed in this study is that their early reading ability can be increased using flashcard media for those with visual learning style. Meanwhile, poster media was yet to significantly increase the children early reading ability. Based on the description above, it can be insisted that in general children ready to learn to read was at the age of 6 years old. However, several studies have pointed out that readiness to learn to read has happened before children reach the age of 6, which is on the age when children are still in kindergarten. At this stage,

TABLE 1 RESEARCH DESIGN



children are starting to be aware of the words as a statement of the symbols which contain meanings. Further, they started to focus on providing various perspectives on children. Previous studies have found that almost all children have significant early reading ability than others. They are already able to read early correctly and fluently. These five children are more pronounced than others, they not only can read fluently and clearly but also they are faster in doing the tasks given by the teacher. In addition, there are only three children who have moderate early reading ability, regardless of the fact that their early reading ability is not as fluent as the other five. However, there is one child who experiences difficulty in learning and has less developed early reading ability. This is evident in the children who find it difficult to recognize the hijaiyah letters, linking them with sound. In the implemented early reading ability activity, the child is still in need of assistance. Thus, the result is yet as expected in completing the tasks given by the teacher. Based on the description on the result of this study discussed above, it points out that the average of the children are able to early read, their reading ability of the group B children at PPIT Al Ishlah has to be more effective. The readiness for early reading means that mentally children are ready to learn to read. In general, the readiness of the children to read happens at the age of 6. However, there are several studies which pointed out that the readiness to read happened before they reach the age of six, which is during the kindergarten age. Thisis supported by the theory developed by Ghabanchi & Rastegar [12] that IQ positively correlates with reading; therefore, further analysis was carried out on the early reading ability of the children based on their IQ and from the experiment carried out. Children with high intelligence tend to have high early reading ability. We found the interesting interaction where children with average intelligence can be optimized using the experiment with the flashcard method.

6 CONCLUSION Based on the data analysis and the hypothesis test, the following conclusion is reached:

1. There is a significant difference in the early reading ability among students with different learning styles. This is according to the hypothesis criteria that H0 is rejected. Further, it is obtained that the Fcount= 5.259 and Ftable= 4.20 this means that there are differences between children taught using flashcard media, which are more visual than those taught using the letter poster.

2. There are differences in different learning style on early reading ability of the children. This is based on the hypothesis criteria of H0 is rejected. Further, it is obtained that the Fcount= 4.720 and Ftable = 4.20. This means that there is a difference between children with visual and kinesthetic learning style.

3. Differences in early reading ability of the children taught using flashcard media and poster media. Flashcard media is more visual compared to children taught letter poster with the testing criteria of H0 is accepted when Qcount ≤ Qtable. Further, it is obtained that Qcount= 5.63 and Qtable = 2.037 This means that hypothesis is accepted or significantly tested.

4. There is an interaction between media, learning style on the early reading ability. Flashcard media treatment, children with visual learning style has higher interaction than those with poster learning media. This supported

the testing criteria of H0 is rejected as t count = 2.39 ≥ 2.037, and further, it is obtained that Qcount= 2.39 and Qtable = 2.037, which means that the hypothesis is accepted or tested significantly.

Based on the conclusion above, below are several recommendations of this study on learning.

1. To increase the early reading ability of the 5 – 6 years old children, the school can provide appropriate media for children their age.

2. Learning activity needs to use more interesting media. Thusthe early reading ability of the children could develop.

3. Further study, could develop flashcard media toward other abilities such as cognitive ability, language, and moral ability.
