Abstract

The purpose of this study was to evaluate how the Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) program is implemented in Higher Education. The learning process in Indonesia is currently no longer limited to the classroom or formal academic environment. The acquisition of knowledge and skills obtained for the community can be through work experience, training, and non-formal activities. The Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) program is designed to recognize and validate knowledge and skills obtained outside of formal education, by providing academic credits equivalent to the results of learning in the classroom. RPL serves as an important bridge for students to utilize their experiences and accelerate the completion of studies in higher education. This research method is descriptive-quantitative with 73 students as research subjects. The results showed that this RPL program received a positive response and became the choice of students in continuing their studies. Regarding the stages of the RPL program learning activities, 66.7% of newly registered students strongly agreed and 33.3% agreed that the learning activities encouraged students' curiosity because the material studied was linear with their field of work. Regarding the benefits of the RPL program, 84.2% of RPL students strongly agreed and 15.8% agreed that during the RPL program they gained a lot of new experiences and knowledge that could be implemented in their work. This RPL program contributes to workers to gain access to education, improve competency, obtain a bachelor's degree and support career plans. Thus, the implementation of RPL must be guaranteed in quality so that graduates have standardized graduate achievement quality

Abstract

Online peer assessment is one of the strategies in authentic assessments in English class. However, few studies investigate the impacts of online peer assessment to foster EFL learner autonomy for writing class in higher education context. This study aims to explore online peer assessment on the promotion of learner autonomy in an EFL writing class. Drawing on Cotterall's (1995) learner autonomy dimensions, the research employed a qualitative design using semi-structured interviews with six participants selected purposefully and classroom observations of 22 undergraduate students enrolled in an English writing class at a reputable private university in Eastern Jakarta. The study employed Braun & Clarke's (2006) thematic analysis framework to analyze the data. The findings revealed that online peer assessment positively impacted five key aspects of learner autonomy: students’ perceptions of the teacher’s role, goal-setting behavior, responsibility for learning processes, use of learning strategies, and capacity for self-evaluation. Additionally, online peer assessment served as a motivational catalyst, enhancing students’ engagement and confidence in writing. Online peer assessment also enhanced deep learning by guiding students beyond surface corrections toward analysis, synthesis, and evaluation, fostering reflective practices, higher-order thinking, stronger writing strategies, and long-term knowledge retention. Implications for practice and future research are also discussed.
