Abstract

This study explores the reflections of in-service teachers on the implementation of Problem-Based Learning (PBL) in the Teacher Professional Education Program (TPEP). With the increasing demand for 21st-century teaching skills, PBL has emerged as an effective instructional method to foster critical thinking, problem-solving, and student engagement. Using a qualitative approach, this research collected data from three in-service teachers through semi-structured interviews, classroom observations, and reflective journals. The findings highlight the benefits of PBL, including enhanced student motivation, collaboration, and a deeper understanding of learning materials. However, challenges such as time constraints, technical difficulties, and student adaptation to PBL were also identified. Teachers implemented solutions such as structured time management, technology integration, and active monitoring of student participation. Follow-up plans emphasize continuous reflection, evaluation, and adaptation to optimize the effectiveness of PBL in the classroom. The study underscores the importance of professional development in equipping teachers with the necessary skills to implement innovative teaching approaches. By addressing the challenges of PBL through strategic planning and ongoing support, teachers can enhance student learning outcomes and improve the overall teaching process.

Abstract

This study aims to explore students' perceptions of the integration of Case-Based Learning (CBL) and information and communication technology (ICT) in teaching speaking skills in the English for Business course. Using a qualitative approach, the study was conducted at STIE Semarang involving 25 undergraduate students taking the course. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews and reflective journals to understand how students experience, interpret and evaluate the use of real business cases supported by digital technology in their speaking activities. The results showed that the majority of students perceived the ICT-based CBL approach as an interesting, contextualized method that helped improve their confidence and communicative skills. In addition, the use of ICT was considered to facilitate collaboration, provide authentic materials, and enable more flexible learning. However, challenges were also found, such as limited digital literacy and unequal participation in group work. The study concludes that the integration of CBL and ICT can create a dynamic and contextualized ESP learning environment that supports language development and critical thinking skills.
