Abstract

The purpose of this research was to examine the level of anxiety of students in facing an English test at Batam International University, taking into account the gender and proficiency of the students. This study wanted to find out whether there were significant differences in the level of test anxiety between the gender of students and proficiency scores, and to look for interactions between these two variables on test anxiety. This research uses a quantitative method using a survey research design. 100 learners (59 females and 41 males) became respondents to this research. The data were then analyzed using descriptive analysis. To examine significant differences and interactions between student gender and proficiency in test anxiety, Two Way Anova was used as a hypothesis testing tool. The results of this research indicate that learners at Batam International University experience and face moderate levels of test anxiety. The results of testing the hypothesis show that there is a significant difference in the level of exam anxiety between male and female students, where female students report higher levels of test anxiety (53.19) compared to male students (43.61). However, there was no significant difference in test anxiety levels among proficiency learners. In addition, there was no significant interaction between gender and proficiency in influencing the level of test anxiety among learners. Therefore, further research is needed to build stronger research on the effect of gender and proficiency on exam anxiety, and how it influences students' English test performance.

Abstract

The Merdeka Curriculum was introduced to address the need for a more flexible and responsive education system, which is crucial in a diverse country like Indonesia. Educational challenges vary significantly between urban and rural areas and public and private schools. This study investigates the factors that hinder the implementation of the Merdeka Curriculum and examines how English teachers apply it in senior high schools located in inland and hinterland areas of the Riau Islands region.. The methodology used a mixed-method approach. The research involved 30 English teachers—23 from island schools and 7 from hinterland schools. Data were gathered through questionnaires and semi-structured interviews, with 5 teachers providing in-depth insights during interviews. The results reveal significant gaps in implementation, particularly among hinterland teachers, where 42.9% reported limited adaptability. The finding shows that each teacher faces unique challenges, which include: 1) administrative costs, 2) adjustments to new curricular components, and 3) a lack of government support, all of which hinder successful integration of the curriculum. To successfully implement the Merdeka curriculum, the following are essential: 1) involvement and support from all parties, 2) comprehensive teacher training, and 3) teachers' readiness. This study emphasizes that the successful implementation of the Merdeka Curriculum depends on the active participation of every school, ensuring that there is readiness, support, and adaptation to the new educational framework.
