Abstract

This study aims to describe the self-efficacy level of inexperienced English teachers in elementary schools. This study used a descriptive quantitative approach with a questionnaire instrument based on the Teachers' Sense of Efficacy Scale (TSES) theory which includes three main domains: student engagement, instructional strategies, and classroom management. The research subjects consisted of 35 elementary school teachers who taught English but did not have an English education background. The results showed that teachers' self-efficacy levels were generally high, with the classroom management domain receiving the highest score with score (30.9), followed by instructional strategies with score (30.8), and the lowest score on student engagement with score (29.6). This finding indicates that although teachers have no specific experience in teaching English, they have good self-efficacy in managing the classroom and designing lessons. Although research on teacher self-efficacy has been widely conducted in various educational contexts, not much is known about the self-efficacy of novice English teachers in primary schools in Indonesia, especially those who do not have an English language education background or teaching certification. This study addresses the gap of elementary school teachers who do not have an English education background However, they still face challenges in motivating and actively engaging students. This study recommends the need for specialized training that focuses on developing interactive strategies to improve student engagement in English language learning.

Abstract

The ability to write effectively is a fundamental academic skill for university students, yet many continue to face challenges in understanding complex texts, organizing ideas, and applying appropriate academic language. In response to these challenges, artificial intelligence (AI) tools such as SciSummary have emerged, offering automated summaries of scientific articles to aid comprehension and support writing development. This study aims to explore students’ perceptions of SciSummary, its impact on their academic writing processes, and their attitudes toward AI-assisted learning. Using a quantitative approach, the study employed a close-ended questionnaire distributed to 48 English Education students at Universitas Islam As-Syafi’iyah who had used SciSummary in their academic writing assignments. Data were analyzed through scoring, descriptive statistics, and visualization. The results reveal a generally positive perception of SciSummary. Students agreed that the tool helps them better understand academic texts (mean score 4.4), increases reading efficiency (4.3), and assists in learning vocabulary and writing structures (4.2). Furthermore, SciSummary supports students in generating ideas (4.3), structuring texts (4.4), and increasing writing confidence (4.5). Attitudinal responses also showed strong agreement on the importance of integrating AI tools into writing courses (4.6), although some concerns about over-reliance on technology (3.0) and academic dishonesty (2.8) were noted. In conclusion, SciSummary is seen as a helpful AI tool that contributes positively to students’ comprehension and writing skills. Nevertheless, its use should be guided to ensure ethical practices and to prevent excessive dependence. The study recommends further research with a larger sample and over a longer period to better understand the long-term effects of AI-assisted writing.
