Abstract

High-Order Thinking skills have been a trend in recent years. Researchers studied on aspects of HOTS. Some studied on how to teach it to students while some are on how to assess it. However, the implementation of HOTS is strongly affected by the teacher?s beliefs ?including knowledge, beliefs, and practices (Borg, 2001). The present study analyzes the teacher?s beliefs on HOTS-based assessment. It uses narrative inquiry as the research method. The data are gotten from the participant?s interview and document analysis ?test items constructed by the participant. The data are then analyzed using short story analysis. The results show that the participants occupied the knowledge of HOTS-based assessment mainly through independent study. She believes that HOTS-based assessment can be applied in High School level. Furthermore, it gives benefits for the students. She practices HOTS-based assessment in her class by constructing HOTS items. However, some English teachers have not implemented it in their class.

Abstract

This study reports the use of engagement in high-rated and low-rated EFL undergraduate students’ argumentative essays. The engagement here refers to one of the aspects in interacting with the readers, which is called metadiscourse (Hyland, 2005a). The data in this study were ten highest-rated and ten lowest-rated argumentative essays written by first-year undergraduate students. The data were coded manually by two raters to maintain data validity. The results reveal that high-rated essays contain less engagement than low-rated ones. However, it also shows that the engagement in high-rated essays was more varied and grammatically sophisticated than those in low-rated essays. Furthermore, while this study reveals that the higher number of engagement used in argumentative essays does not always coincide with the improved quality of the writing, it implies that the writing quality and score do not depend on the number of engagement expressed but more on the ways students use the engagement effectively. Thus, the explicit teaching on how to use engagement effectively in persuasive writings may be useful for the students to build more persuasive arguments as well as to improve their writing quality.

Abstract

Project-based learning (PBL) has gained popularity in education recently. This teaching method provides opportunities for students to learn independently by doing group works in the form of a project. It is seen as a suitable method to teach EFL to replace the traditional ways of teaching. Thus, this case study explores the students' and teachers' experience implementing PBL in the EFL class. Three EFL classes from three different high schools in Indonesia were observed to explore this issue. Six students and three teachers were interviewed to confirm the observation’s result and determine their perception of learning using PBL. The findings show that the class situation improved positively after implementing PBL. Furthermore, PBL was well perceived by both students and teachers. The teaching and learning process went smoothly and well-controlled. The students and teachers show positive perceptions toward PBL in EFL classes. However, some negative points of PBL were also pointed out. Thus, educational sectors may use this study's results to improve the educational quality, specifically for EFL classes.

Abstract

This study reports Indonesian master students’ beliefs and practices on the use of reader engagement in writing research articles. This study was a case study conducted in one Indonesian university. The data were collected through questionnaires, in-depth interviews, and document analysis. The participants were 23 Indonesian master students. Furthermore, there were 9 research articles written by the participants which were analyzed in this study. The data were analyzed under the metadiscourse framework, specifically in the reader engagement: reader pronouns, personal asides, appeals to shared knowledge, directives, and questions. The findings show that Indonesian master students believe in the importance of using reader engagement in research articles. However, they rarely used it since they did not know the concept and how to use it effectively. It implies that more exposure to using metadiscourse, especially reader engagement, in research articles is needed for Indonesian master students to achieve more reader-friendly research articles.

Abstract

Artificial Intelligence (AI) for educational purposes has recently been a research interest. Specifically for academic writing, AI-based feedback, often called automated writing evaluation (AWE), is an essential aspect to support students"™ writing. However, despite its popularity, the trust in AWE, which potentially contributes to the students"™ writing improvement, has been explored on a limited basis. Hence, this multiple case study attempts to examine the trust in AWE and how this trust influences feedback engagement and literacy. Of 42 students joining a writing class, a total of 4 undergraduate students were involved to explore this issue. Considering the Indonesian government's policy to conduct online learning amidst the COVID-19 pandemic era, classroom observation, stimulated recalls, and semi-structured interviews were conducted virtually via Zoom meetings to gather the data. Results show that the students' trust in AWE varied, indicated by their varied responses to AWE. Furthermore, their trust in AWE only affects the behavioral aspect, excluding the cognitive and affective aspects. Meanwhile, in feedback literacy, their trust only affected the aspect of appreciating the feedback. These findings imply that educators should pay interest to students' trust in AWE since it, in some ways, influences improvement of their feedback engagement and literacy.

Abstract

Academic writing for publication in higher education is cognitively and linguistically complex. University students grapple with academic writing for publication because of academic genre/convention, linguistic competence, and academic literacy among others. For this reason, a learning environment does matter. The Personal Learning Environment (PLE) is a learner-controlled environment for language learning. To examine this issue, a qualitative study with an action research design conducted with 28 graduate students as participants. The three main findings: (1) ways of encouraging students to write academic writing for publication through the personal learning environment as a learning platform; (2) implementing PLE's in the academic writing for publication course: content knowledge consideration; and (3) implementing PLE's in the academic writing for publication course: pedagogical consideration. In general, the findings indicate that PLE gives positive impacts on emerging students' academic writing for publication in the context of higher education. The educational organization needs to consider this issue. Keywords: Action research, academic writing for publication, learning autonomy, personal learning environment

Abstract

Conducting research may contribute positively to teachers’ professionalism and maintain their Career-Long Professional Learning (CLPL). However, many teachers find it challenging and hesitant to conduct research. In this regard, this descriptive quantitative study compares novice and experienced teachers’ motivational factors affecting their decision to conduct research despite their other responsibilities as teachers. This study involved 127 English language teachers who are also active researchers. The data were obtained by using an online survey adopting the Teacher Research Motivation Scale (TRMS) proposed by Hosseini & Bahrami (2022) consisting of 22 items. Descriptive statistics and Mann U-Whitney test were then performed using SPSS software to identify the differences between novice and experienced teachers in their research motivation. The results mostly highlight the importance of comprehensively understanding in-service teachers’ motivational factors to conduct research and foster their willingness to be actively involved in research projects. Government and other educational practitioners may reflect on this study’s result to encourage teachers to conduct research and maintain their professionalism in teaching.
