Abstract

Teachers’ strictness has a role in shaping students' learning and has become an extensive research subject of education. This research is focused on teachers' strictness, which impacts the students' engagement, academic achievements, and emotions. Findings showed that the balancing of approach where strictness, support, and clear communication can impact the students' achievement and their behavioral development positively. The method of strict discipline may lead to the effect of decreased motivation, lower engagement, and increased anxiety. For example, research highlights that strict class management can enhance short-term compliance, otherwise, this matter destroys long-term educational achievement, except if it is combined with the nurture of the relationship between teacher and students. Furthermore, the education strategy that interprets discipline and empathy is recommended to foster a conducive environment for the development of the students holistically. These findings underlined the complexity of the effectiveness of the teacher which advocates a nuanced approach of discipline that supports academic rigor and emotional support.

Abstract

A higher education landscape that has been digitized encourages the need for an assessment method that is more interesting and effective. This background is in contrast to the classic problems, where the traditional assessment method often triggers anxiety and the lack of students’ engagement. As a solution, gamification, especially through platforms such as Quizizz, was proposed to transform the assessment experience. However, empirical research that has students’ specific perceptions in the context of English classes in higher education institutions is still limited. To address this gap, mixed-methods research with a case study approach is conducted. Data gathered through a survey questionnaire (quantitative) covering cognitive, conative, and affective aspects of perceptions, and semi-structured interviews (qualitative) from the students who use Quizizz. The key findings revealed that overall, the students’ perceptions of Quizizz were positive. This study emphasized that Quizizz is an effective assessment tool and is liked in the context of English class in higher education institutions. This study not only provides practical insight to educators on implementing more engaging assessments but also contributes to the theoretical understanding of the impact of gamification on students’ learning perceptions.

Abstract

The rapid integration of digital technology, especially in education, has provided a changing landscape in English language learning, leading to the importance of student engagement for success in learning. The purpose of this study is to analyze the levels and dimensions of engagement of EFL students from different majors in digitally mediated general English classes at the university level. A descriptive quantitative approach and a structured questionnaire instrument were used to measure emotional, cognitive, and technological behavioral engagement on a 1- 5-point Likert scale. Descriptive statistics, including mean, level of perceptions, and presentation distribution, were used to analyze the data. The results showed that the students were at a high level of emotional engagement (3.88) and cognitive engagement (3.78), and behavioral engagement (3.17) was at a moderate level. The findings suggest that students are generally engaged in digitally mediated English classes, but behavioral engagement remains a challenge. It is concluded that enhancing supportive and interactive elements can improve behavioral, as well as language learning outcomes.

Abstract

The swift advancement of digital technology has brought several game-based learning (GBL) platforms into the English as a Foreign Language (EFL) classroom, with Blooket standing out as a significant instrument for enhancing student engagement. The objective of this study is to examine students' perspectives and to determine the primary elements that influence their engagement in active learning through the utilization of Blooket. Employing a descriptive quantitative methodology, data were gathered through a structured questionnaire administered to 36 students in a Pre-intermediate English setting. The descriptive statistical analysis findings show a high degree of favorable impression, with students especially liking a blended learning method that blends Blooket with traditional lectures (Mean = 3.78). The study also finds that human-centered aspects are the most important ones for engagement, such as social connection with peers and a sense of personal responsibility for learning (Mean = 3.80). Logistical considerations like room layout and infrastructure are helpful, but they are not as important as the interpersonal interactions that the gamified setting creates. The results indicate that Blooket is a useful teaching tool for improving student independence and interaction in EFL classrooms.

Abstract

This study explores the User Experience (UX) and digital adaptation of fresh-graduate English teachers using TikTok to share their experiences of learning activities. Although TikTok is primarily associated with entertainment, a growing number of novice educators are leveraging it as a professional instrument for educational vlogging. This research utilizes a qualitative descriptive approach to investigate the experiences of three recently graduated teachers. Data collection involved semi-structured interviews and observations of their digital content on the TikTok platform. The results reveal a significant shift in the teachers' viewpoints, evolving from a "fun" user to a "responsible" educator. They noted that sharing English language learning activities on TikTok fosters student engagement, considering the platform's connection to students' daily lives. Conversely, the teachers encountered several technical challenges, including "phone lag," "copyright issues" related to audio, and the considerable time demands of video editing. To address these challenges, the educators implemented a blended editing approach, leveraging alternative applications prior to TikTok publication and acquiring knowledge through YouTube instructional content. Despite the technical difficulties encountered, the teachers expressed considerable satisfaction and plan to continue using TikTok in the future. The research also shows that new teachers are very confident in their digital skills. This allows them to use new mobile technologies effectively in their teaching.

Abstract

In the Indonesian higher education context, non-English major students often encounter difficulties in mastering English tenses. This study aims to investigate students’ perceptions of the cognitive, affective, and behavioral challenges they experience when learning English tenses. A quantitative descriptive design was employed, and data were collected through a 5-point Likert scale questionnaire administered to 65 non-English major students at Universitas Klabat (UNKLAB), representing various faculties such as Computer Science, Business, and Nursing. The findings reveal a complex interaction between linguistic and psychological factors. From a cognitive perspective, 40% of the students identified the absence of a tense system in the Indonesian language as a major obstacle, indicating L1 interference. Affectively, 63% of the participants perceived English tenses as the most difficult aspect of learning English, while 49% reported reduced confidence in speaking due to fear of making grammatical errors. Behaviorally, 65% of the students demonstrated an avoidance strategy by frequently using the simple present tense to minimize mistakes. Despite these challenges, 77% of the students recognized the importance of mastering tenses for their future professional needs. These findings highlight the need for contextualized and communicative grammar instruction that addresses both linguistic difficulties and learners’ emotional barriers in non-English major EFL classrooms.
