Abstract

The transition to online teaching has chaotic consequences for teachers and students, as many candidates are not ready for teaching duty. Unfortunately, several previous studies did not investigate pre-service teachers’ readiness to teach in online practicum. Additionally, the studies examining readiness, particularly on foreign language education programs through practicum, are limited. Therefore, the present study intends to investigate the pre-service foreign language program’s readiness to carry out teaching and learning processes in online practicum, especially in the ICT aspect. The study employs a qualitative research methodology. The setting of the study is an online practicum in a teacher education program in Semarang, Indonesia. The study participants are pre-service teachers taking online practicum, an estimated 130 participants based on the total population of the department selected. The data collection technique adopts an open-ended online survey conducted via Google Forms® and synchronous/ asynchronous interviews. The data collected from the questionnaire and interview is then analysed utilising a thematic analysis. The results of this research are supposed to contribute practically. All participants stated they were ready to have an online teaching practicum since they had already used it. They often use technology both for their daily needs and their studying needs.

Abstract

In the modern digital education landscape, traditional English language assessments, especially in the 11th grade, fail to engage students. This research aims to explore the perceptions of 11th-grade students at SMAN 3 Semarang regarding the gamification of English assessments through Quizizz, with a focus on its effectiveness in motivating students, alleviating anxiety, and improving learning outcomes. The research performed a qualitative investigation by conducting semi-structured interviews with six purposely selected students from the 11th grade who had experienced English assessments using Quizizz. Transcribed responses were analyzed thematically for patterns in learning, engagement, challenges, and preferences. The research discovered that through elements of gamification, such as instant feedback and points, Quizizz enhances the engagement of students by motivating them and making the assessments significantly more enjoyable than traditional tests. Quizizz also quickly reinforces vocabulary and grammar, though it can manifest some challenges, such as technical difficulties, anxiety over competition, and a limited ability to assess more advanced skills. The present educational game Quizizz serves as a motivated formative assessment tool, though a blended approach, integrating traditional assessments for summative evaluations, is necessary for equity and validity. The research underscores the need for pedagogical modifications to improve the use of gamification in English assessments.
