Abstract

First semester students face a transition period as an adaptation process to prepare themselves for changes in the academic environment. Students who have difficulty adjusting to changes and new academic demands tend to feel stressed and face various conflicts in meeting the demands of the academic environment. Self-efficacy is students' belief in their own abilities, playing an important role in determining their success in facing academic demands. The objective of this study was to investigate the role of self-efficacy in basic writing of first year students in English Language Education Study Program. The researchers gained data from 26 students in Basic writing Class by using quantitative approach. From the data analysis the researchers found that the self-efficacy of first-year students was considered good even though it was still low, with an average self-efficacy of 3.9. This shows that self-efficacy needs to be considered as a key factor that influences the process and results of student learning. Therefore, it is important for educators to explain to students about the role of self-efficacy in supporting their success in learning, as well as provide support to increase students' self-confidence in their ability to learn and write.

Abstract

Global crises, particularly the climate crises, highlight the urgent need for educational approaches that cultivate environmental responsibility. The aim of this study is to explore how educators in Landak Region, West Kalimantan, perceive the importance, adequacy, barriers, and success factors of Environment-Based Character Education (EBCE). A questionnaire-based survey was conducted, combining closed and open-ended items, and data were analyzed through descriptive statistics, thematic coding, t tests, chi-square tests, and Spearman correlations. The results show that concern about the climate crises is consistently high across demographic groups, yet EBCE integration into school practice remains fragmented and limited. Barriers include insufficient teacher training, lack of resources, and weak institutional support, while success factors include project-based learning, digital tools, cross-subject integration, and community collaboration. The findings imply that EBCE holds considerable potential for strengthening sustainable education if supported by coherent policies, institutional commitment, and investment in teacher capacity. The study improves existing knowledge by linking local cultural strengths with national frameworks and by offering evidence-based insights for more effective EBCE implementation.
