Abstract

This study is focused on getting an understanding of the students and teachers perceptions of teaching methods use in EFL classroom. More importantly, this research is aimed at bringing to light how students and teachers in the higher education English language classroom help provide new meanings of how different methods are used in the classrooms. To make sense of their perceptions of teaching methods, we focus on four individual narrative interviews, classroom observations and two focus group discussions. The data findings show that a particular teaching method, such as students' presentation, based on the students' view, is due to that lecturers are not quite confident to speak in front of the classroom. The students assert that the lecturers seem are not quite well prepared to teach, so that the students are asked to make presentation in front of the classroom. This, based on the students’ view is about spending much time for the students to speak rather than their lecturers’ do. In addition, the data findings illustrate that the traditional methods used in the classroom such as classroom presentation and group discussion are needed to be modified by considering the employment of technology to mediate the acquisition of 21st century skills. In addition, the findings suggest that the lecturers' experience during their careers and study deeply influence the way they conduct teaching methods in the classroom. Moreover, the data findings indicate that identity and the self- image are prevalent in shaping the teaching methods the lecturers are used in the classroom. This study indicates that students and lecturers have different view point with regards to the teaching methods use in the higher education language classroom. It is suggested, therefore, that the use of teaching methods in the classroom should ideally involve the students' view point to generate more effective and future goals oriented.

Abstract

Pemanfaatan teknologi khususnya dalam pembelajaran Bahasa Inggris di Indonesia sudah banyak dieksplorasi. Sebagian besar hasil eksplorasi ini mengungkapkan bahwa teknologi dapat memfasilitasi para siswa dalam menguasai materi dan meningkatkan keterampilan berbahasa mereka. Selaras dengan hasil penemuan tersebut, dosen Prodi Bahasa Inggris Universitas PGRI Adi Buana Surabaya menyelenggarakan Pengabdian Pada Masyarakat (PPM) berupa pelatihan pemanfaatan Podcast dengan bantuan aplikasi Audacity dalam pengajaran Listening dan Speaking bagi guru SMA/SMK kota Surabaya. PPM ini dilaksanakan secara daring dan diikuti oleh 95 guru. Setelah selesai PPM, kami ingin mengetahui pandangan guru-guru tersebut mengenai pemanfaatan Podcast dan Audacity dalam pembelajaran Listening dan Speaking. Pre-Test dan kuisioner digunakan untuk mengumpulkan data. Data dari pre-test dan kuisioner ditambah dengan data opini tertulis peserta dianalisis menggunakan konten analisis. Hasil analisis data menunjukkan bahwa sebagian besar peserta mempunyai sikap yang positif terhadap penggunaan Podcast dalam pembelajaran listening dan speaking. Hal utama yang mendasari sikap positif mereka adalah fleksibilitas Podcast dalam penggunaannya, fleksibilitas akses, fleksibilitas frekuensi, dan fleksibilitas individu.

Abstract

Isu mengenai pengembangan profesionalisme guru dalam dekade ini menjadi isu yang penting dalam dunia pendidikan. Ada banyak program yang bisa dilakukan guru dalam rangka pengembangan profesionalisme, salah satunya adalah keikutsertaan dalam workshop. Artikel ini adalah hasil dari pelaksanaan workshop pembelajaran fisika berbantuan spreadsheet dan Javascript bagi guru-guru fisika di jawa Timur. Pre-test dan post-test dilakukan untuk mengetahui penggunaan spreadsheet dan javascript dalam pengajaran fisika guru-guru di Jawa timur. Hasil analisis data dari ke dua tes tersebut menunjukkan bahwa hanya 12% (6 dari 50) guru yang memanfaatkan program tersebut dalam pengajaran di kelas. Faktor utama dari kurang optimalnya penggunaan program tersebut adalah defisit pengetahuan guru terhadap aplikasi dan implementasinya. Selain itu, data juga diambil melalui observasi dan wawancara. Dari data observasi dan wawancara, menguatkan penemuan bahwa workshop penggunaan spreadsheet dan javascript bisa menjadi inovasi dalam pengajaran di kelas dan sebagai sarana peningkatan profesionalisme guru. Selain karena gambar (image) yang ditampilkan pada saat pengajaran fisika sebagai penguat pemahaman, variasi soal yang bisa dibuat oleh program tersebut menurut responden juga bermanfaat menambah kepercayaan guru dalam mengajar, yang mana dalam konsep (teacher professional development/TPD) kepercayaan guru sangat berdampak kepada kesuksesan tujuan pembelajaran. Implikasi dari artikel ini adalah, bahwa pengembangan pofesionalisme guru perlu memberdayakan fitur-fitur teknologi yang didukung oleh pelatihan dan pemberdayaan peer-mentoring dan coaching secara kesinambungan.

Abstract

This study is aimed at narrating the implementation of literacy programme at an urban secondary school in Surabaya, focusing of how the school integrates and accommodates the concept of multilingualism (Java, Indonesian Language, English, French, and Japan) on its creative application and how the integration and accommodation of multilingual literacy is carried out on the day-to-day literacy practices. Drawing on qualitative data analysis gathered mainly through semi structured interviews with four teachers and two students and observations, the research findings suggest that school literacy programme is not only aimed at socializing and habituating the literacy culture within the school, but literacy programme facilitates spaces to accommodate the students’ creativity in the literacy practices through their participation, involvement and engagement in designing, managing and disseminating the school programme. It can be argued, therefore, that the literacy programme at the school transcends the expectations of the school in which the initial thought and expectation are only within the boundary of socializing and habituating the literacy culture within the school, but it transforms into more advance creative spaces for the students to learn languages and gain 21 century skills.

Abstract

Teachers as the tip of lance play important roles in the success of the implementation of school literacy program such as possessing positive perception of literacy practices. Recognizing the important roles of teachers in the implementation of literacy program in the schools, this study aims to investigate the teachers‟ perception toward the implementation of literacy program at a Junior High School in Surabaya. This study is designed as an interpretative qualitative approach. Primary data were obtained through open interviews and observations and supplementary data source included student journal. The data findings showed that teachers have positive perceptions on literacy program. They argue that school literacy program potentially enables to build up the students‟ good habits. Through the habituation of a thirty-minute reading before the class, it can raise the students‟ awareness on literacy - reading and writing. Moreover, the school literacy program benefits the students‟ competency in understanding long texts and can help them to be more critical and creative. In addition, instead of students who take advantageous from the literacy program, teachers are also equally benefited from exposure to daily literacy practices within the school. The teachers tend to follow the rhymes of the literacy practices which are marked by reading and writing activities. In this sense, literacy practices facilitate teachers to develop their practical writing abilities and increase their awareness to be the role model in the classrooms particularly in the literacy practices. This study emphasizes that literacy practices can be double blades, on one side it is beneficial for the students and on another side it is advantageous for the teachers

Abstract

This study aims to illustrate the challenges and opportunities of implementing hybrid literacy at Junior High School level in Surabaya. Drawing from amalgamation of interviews with ten teachers who are responsible and concerned with the literacy programme in their schools, classroom observations and documents analysis, the findings indicate that the potential implementation of hybrid literacy within the schools in Surabaya tend to be disrupted by several aspects, all of which are surrounding social and cultural aspect. Social aspect such as students’ social condition and school facilities are being the principal challenges in implementing hybrid literacy, whilst cultural aspect such as the school orientation to a particular type of literacy is also prominent to inhibit the implementation of hybrid literacy practices. This study, to some extent, is able to portray the dynamic challenges of hybrid literacy application in the school literacy programmes within the city as well as the potential sources which positively help facilitate the implementation of the future literacy programme, hybrid literacy. Although this study can be used as a reflection of the actor’s lens involved in the literacy programme in Surabaya, the data is limited to three schools. The future study, therefore, should anticipate involving more schools and participants (teachers and students) to get richer data findings in regard with the challenges and opportunities of the implementation of the programme.

These social and historical contexts span from the local to the hybrid context; from the Indonesian traditional practices to the global trends of the youth’ social practices. This study illuminates the understanding that youth violence, particularly occurs in the urban area, is complex in nature and the study of youth violence should be placed in wider context. The result study It is widely known that this due to family-based tradition, that is, if one of the family has ever studied at this school, the other family members will follow studying at the same school as their ancestor did. This indicates that in fact parents and students are aware of what happens within the school including various practices of school culture.
