Abstract

Understanding students' perceptions of teachers' language choices is crucial as it significantly impacts motivation, allowing educators to cater to diverse student abilities and address learning difficulties. Effective preparation, encompassing materials and teaching methods, becomes indispensable in fostering support for learning. Constructivist theories by Piaget and Vygotsky underscore teachers as facilitators, guiding students through active interaction and collaboration to construct knowledge. This research delves into examining the correlation between students' perceptions of teachers' use of a second language in teaching English and their motivation to learn English. Employing a quantitative approach, the study involved 37 junior high school students from Muhammadiyah 4 Giri in Gresik, with data collected through a closed-ended questionnaire. Data analysis results reveal a positive and significant correlation between students' perceptions of teachers' use of a second language, specifically Indonesian as the medium of instruction, and their motivation to learn English. This implies that more positive perceptions regarding the use of a second language by teachers correspond to higher motivation levels for learning English. These findings underscore the pivotal role of the second language in junior high school English teaching. Teachers may consider employing Indonesian strategically to enhance students' motivation to learn English. Future research is recommended to delve deeper into understanding additional factors influencing the correlation between students' perceptions, teachers' language choices, and students' motivation. Expanding the sample size and including diverse school contexts can further enhance the generalizability of the results.

Abstract

Background: This community service activity is driven by three factors: 1) the significance of the teacher's role in cultivating student competencies aligned with 21st-century demands; 2) education's emphasis on not only academic mastery but also the cultivation of comprehensive skills; 3) the 6C framework (Critical Thinking, Creativity, Collaboration, Communication, Citizenship, and Character) serves as the fundamental basis for equipping students to confront escalating global challenges. This service activity aims to enhance comprehension and proficiency in designing learning that fosters the competencies of 6C students. Method: The participants in this initiative comprise 32 educators from Gresik Middle School. The program is executed in phases: 1) Reinforcement of the 6C concept; 2) A workshop on learning design that facilitates 6C; 3) Independent implementation and evaluation without external support. Results: The findings indicated an enhancement in educators' comprehension of crafting learning activities that promote competency 6C. Moreover, it pertains to teachers' capacity to devise 6C learning experiences. 80% of teachers can construct learning activities classified as good, while the remainder falls into the fairly good group. Teacher Competency Enhancement Program To effectively construct learning activities for 6C students, it is essential to consistently engage with the school's learning community. It is essential for the teacher to remain informed about the latest pedagogical strategies, enabling the adaptation of instructional methods to meet student developmental needs and evolving circumstances, while also enhancing collaboration among educators through discourse and the exchange of best practices within the learning community

Abstract

This study aimed to examine how the frequency of physical education (PE) classes, the intensity of physical activity, and different types of exercises influence middle school students' cognitive performance. Understanding these relationships can help optimize PE programs to enhance students' attention, memory, and executive function. A quasi-experimental design was employed, involving 300 middle school students aged 11 to 14 years, who were divided into groups based on PE class frequency (one, two, or three sessions per week), activity intensity (low, moderate, high), and activity type (aerobic, skill-based, mind-body). Cognitive performance was assessed using the standardized test after a 12-week intervention. Physical activity intensity was measured using wearable fitness trackers, and engagement levels were monitored through teacher observations and student self-reports. The findings revealed that students attending PE classes more frequently and engaging in moderate to high-intensity activities showed significantly improved cognitive performance. Aerobic exercises were linked to enhanced attention and memory, while skill-based activities improved executive function. Mind-body exercises provided moderate benefits, particularly in stress reduction and focus. The study highlights the positive impact of structured and frequent PE sessions on cognitive development. Schools should incorporate various physical activities with sufficient intensity to maximize students' cognitive and academic performance.

Abstract

This study aims to explore the Rhetorical moves and use of Metadiscourse in student abstracts from the English Education program at Universitas PGRI Ronggolawe, Tuban. The sample consists of 17 abstracts submitted by English Education students from the 2023 batch of the program. This Research uses mixed methods for the methodology, the quantitative analysis focused on frequency counts, descriptive statistics, and correlation analyses, while the qualitative analysis explored the functional roles of these elements in enhancing clarity, coherence, and reader engagement. The qualitative analysis revealed that students who used more transitions and frame markers produced more coherent and structured abstracts. Students who used a variety of interactive and interactional markers, such as transitions, frame markers, and self-mentions to balance confidence with caution and engage the reader, were more likely to produce more coherent, clear, and engaging abstracts than those who did not. The findings suggest that students would benefit from explicit instruction on the role of Metadiscourse in academic writing, particularly in how to use hedges, boosters, and self-mentions to balance confidence with caution.

Abstract

This inquiry explores English foreign language (EFL) teacher beliefs in teach-abroad (TA) contexts under the umbrella of Vygotsky’s sociocultural theory (SCT) of mind. The previously available literature on teacher beliefs has relied mostly on quantitative survey research concerning belief as an inert variable; an internal representation of experience is resilient to evolve. Due to the prevalence of the theory of mind or cognitive orientation under the sociocultural theory, this case study aims to examine two TA EFL teachers’ belief changes in the new TA context and conceptualize the teachers’ beliefs from a sociocultural perspective. The participants involved EFL teachers (both pseudonyms): Ivan (male, aged 26) and Melanie (female, aged 24) attending different types of TA were recruited for this research. We collected the data through pre-and post-TA interviews and teaching journals with other triangulated methods like teaching autobiographies and recall experiences. The findings advocated that EFL teachers’ teaching beliefs continuously evolve according to their TA goals and experiences, and their belief changes involve a remediation process that leads to different teaching actions. Their internalized EFL teaching beliefs within meaningful environments influence the success of their TA teaching. HIGHLIGHTS: EFL teachers’ teaching beliefs continuously evolve according to their TA goals and experiences EFL teacher’s belief changes involve a remediation process that leads to different teaching actions Socio-cultural context of teaching and learning practice facilitates the perception of teachers’ teaching beliefs.

Abstract

This study aims to design gamification-based- instructions using articulate storyline in a flipped classroom setting to improve vocabulary mastery of junior high school students and to examine how students’ perspective on this approach compared to traditional methods. The study employs a Research and Development (R&D) methodology, guided by the ADDIE model (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, Evaluation). The results show that there is a significant improvement in students’ vocabulary mastery, with an average gain of 30%, and over 85% of students found the gamified activities significantly more engaging and motivating. The study concludes that using the Articulate Storyline in conjunction with gamification in a flipped classroom environment significantly improves both student engagement and vocabulary mastery. These findings provide not only insightful information that positions gamified learning as a strong substitute for conventional pedagogy but also further advancements in instructional design.
