Abstract

Teacher Professional Development (TPD) is any activities conducted by teachers to upgrade their teaching skills in order to maintain their professionalism. The activities of TPD have recently been greatly affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, resulting in the termination of almost all TPD activities. The study aimed at investigating TPD among English language secondary school teachers during the COVID-19 pandemic focusing on its opportunities and challenges. Using qualitative approach and descriptive qualitative research design, the study involved four English language teachers at two Secondary Schools in Yogyakarta as the participants. In-depth interviews with these four participants were conducted to achieve the objectives of this study. The findings of the study discovered that mastering the technology, improving the competency in designing online class, improving the competency in class management skill, and building peer collaboration among teachers were all the opportunities experienced by the teachers in conducting TPD activities during the COVID-19 pandemic. Moreover, teachers’ lack of digital competency, unstable internet network, limited number of TPD activities, and inadequate support system were the challenges experienced by these teachers in conducting TPD activities during the COVID-19 pandemic. These findings imply that despite the difficult times these English teachers faced during COVID-19 pandemic, they managed to improve their qualities as teachers by maximizing the opportunities of conducting TPD.

Abstract

This study explores the implementation of the Contextual Teaching and Learning (CTL) approach to enhance social functional text writing skills among nursing students at Fhisrinthon Nursing School, Yala, Thailand. Social functional texts, such as patient reports and healthcare instructions, are essential for effective communication in nursing. The research investigates: (1) How is the CTL approach implemented to improve nursing students' writing of social functional texts? (2) What improvements in writing abilities and engagement are observed under the CTL approach? Using a classroom action research design, the study follows two iterative cycles of planning, action, observation, and reflection. Participants include 15 nursing students, with data collected through writing tasks, classroom observations, interviews, and reflective journals. Writing scores are analyzed quantitatively, while qualitative data are examined thematically. Findings indicate that the CTL approach, integrating real-life nursing contexts, significantly improves students’ writing. Key strategies include aligning learning objectives with nursing-specific materials, vocabulary building, dialogue creation, and role-play activities in simulated hospital settings. Writing scores improved from 67.2 (pretest) to 75 (Cycle 1) and 78.6 (Cycle 2). Students also reported increased motivation, engagement, and satisfaction with the learning process. This research highlights the effectiveness of the CTL approach in nursing education, demonstrating its role in enhancing both writing skills and communication competencies essential for nursing practice. It offers practical insights for educators integrating contextually relevant teaching methods into English language instruction for healthcare professionals.
