Abstract

The digital era has transformed education, making linguistic and digital literacy essential skills for success. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of multimedia presentations on these literacies within the English Education Program at Universitas Muhammadiyah Enrekang. Using a mixed-methods approach, the research measured improvements in students' skills through pre-test and post-test assessments, multimedia artifact evaluations, reflective journal entries, and lecturer observations. The results revealed significant enhancements in both linguistic and digital literacy, with students demonstrating improved language use and technical proficiency. Thematic analysis of journal entries highlighted skill development and challenges, emphasizing the importance of a supportive learning environment. Lecturer observations confirmed high levels of engagement and collaboration. The study underscores the need for innovative pedagogical frameworks and professional development for educators to effectively integrate multimedia tools. These findings contribute to the existing knowledge by demonstrating the potential of multimedia presentations to enhance educational outcomes and prepare students for the demands of the modern world. Future research should explore the long-term effects of multimedia tools on literacy development and consider cultural factors in educational strategies.

Abstract

This study investigates the emotional and professional impacts of teaching on novice lecturers at Universitas Muhammadiyah Enrekang, focusing on the process of identity transformation. New lecturers face numerous emotional and professional challenges, including stress, role ambiguity, and feelings of isolation, particularly during the initial years of teaching. This research adopts a qualitative approach, using semi-structured interviews with 22 novice lecturers from various academic disciplines to gain insights into their experiences. The study found that institutional support, particularly mentorship from the Chair of the Department and peer collaboration, plays a crucial role in helping lecturers navigate these challenges and develop a professional identity. Although the institution provides some support, findings suggest that more structured mentorship and additional resources are necessary to support novice lecturers better. The study contributes to existing literature on the identity formation of novice lecturers, especially in non-Western academic settings, and highlights the need for tailored support strategies that address the specific challenges faced by new faculty members. These insights are valuable for improving institutional practices and enhancing novice lecturers' professional satisfaction and development.
