Abstract

Oral examinations in higher education context have been an under-explored genre in academic discourse since it is not easily accessible for public, rendering a complexity in understanding examiners’ expectations during the exam. Having adequate repertoire of the examiners’ questions among the students being assessed can lead to successful oral defense without exception among Master’s students. Hence, this research aims to explore the typical questions asked by the examiners during Master’s students’ thesis oral examination. Seventeen recorded oral examination videos involving four examiners in the Indonesian higher education context were collected with the consent from the participants involved in the videos. They were transcribed and analyzed using a thematic analysis approach to explore the types of examiners’ questions. The findings demonstrate that there were five main categories of questions typically posed by the examiners in order from the most frequently appeared to the least one: (1) questions clarifying specific points in the thesis report or presentation, (2) questions related to the linkage between research method and findings, (3) questions related to the review of literature, (4) general preliminary questions, and (5) questions regarding the process of recruiting or selecting research participants. Questions revealed in each category also represent a particular purpose during the examination process. The results can be used as a reference for graduate students in preparing their oral defense.

Abstract

Students' engagement has been seen as a crucial part of learning as it determines their success in getting the most out of the learning process. The present study aims to identify the trends and to evaluate the main findings of a number of articles on students' engagement concerning the hybrid classroom settings. This study started with employing some keywords to select articles from several databases to review. A systematic review following the PRISMA framework was employed as the research method. The articles were then analyzed by means of content analysis. The findings suggest that most articles involved university students as the main participants, with the sample size ranging from 100 to 500 students. In terms of methods, most studies used quantitative measures by employing surveys in comparison with the less observed qualitative or mixed methods. The findings show that the selected articles focused on improving students' engagement, developing tools for measuring engagement, and determining factors affecting engagement in relation to technology. Further suggestions regarding the implications and future research are discussed.
