Abstract

Progressive Education (PE) aims to promote students' active participation and involvement in the learning process. PE strongly supports learner-centered instruction (LCI), enabling students to be active participants rather than passive recipients of knowledge. Nevertheless, the LCI has not yet gained popularity in the Indonesian school settings, particularly in Modern Islamic Boarding Schools. This enables us to do research on the potential and obstacles of implementing the LCI as required by Progressive Education in Islamic boarding schools. Data for this qualitative study was gathered through Focus Group Discussions (FGDs), in-depth interviews and an online communication with 24 teachers from Islamic Boarding Schools in the province of Aceh. The findings indicate that although worries about the issues of the LCI are still arising, the teachers involved in this research believe that the LCI has promising prospects in the near future. The finding also found that although the LCI is considered an efficient method for facilitating optimal learning, it is deemed to be less successful in some courses.

Abstract

The objective of this paper is to examine the perspectives of department chairmen and lecturers who teach Research Methods in English Language Teaching (ELT) with regards to strategies employed in thesis writing. We conducted in-depth interviews to collect data. Four English Education department chairs were interviewed and 24 lecturers teaching Research Methodology in ELT via FGDs. Using coding techniques, the data from interviews and FGDs were divided into two main themes: academic and non-academic variables to successful thesis writing. Academic variables include the selection of research problems, analysis of prior relevant themes, formulation of research questions, and comprehension of writing styles. In addition, participants acknowledged that non-academic variables play a vital role in the successful writing of a thesis. The participants highlighted time management and interpersonal relationships as non-academic issues.
