Social awareness and relationship skills, integral components of the social-emotional learning (SEL) framework, serve as fundamental objectives in holistic education. However, Indonesia’s SEL concept remains relatively new, particularly in higher education settings. This study examined how learning techniques such as jigsaw enabled the cultivation of social awareness and relationship skills depicted in the SEL framework. Employing a descriptive qualitative research method, this study explored students’ interactions in the jigsaw technique among 19 first-semester Master’s students in the English Education Master Program at Sanata Dharma University. The data were collected through questionnaires, interviews, and observations, which offered a comprehensive understanding of students’ interactions through the jigsaw technique. The findings revealed the potential of jigsaw as a collaborative technique to promote social awareness and relationship skills among higher-education students by exposing students to diverse perspectives and building relationship skills through active communication and collaboration. However, several challenges, such as cultural and emotional barriers and a sense of dominance, inferiority, and trust, emerged in the group interactions that need to be addressed. This study is expected to contribute valuable insights at the higher level of education in Indonesia by applying various learning techniques, one of which is the jigsaw technique, as an effort to implement SEL and improve SEL competencies. The findings provide practical implications for educators and policymakers trying to promote a balance of emotional and social growth alongside students’ academic learning, especially concerning collaborative skills needed in today’s world.

This research investigates how English teachers with a non-English educational background demonstrate their self-efficacy beliefs on the technological pedagogical content knowledge (TPACK) toward their professional practices. The data was obtained from 18 teachers from a non-English educational background in formal and informal Indonesian education settings. Those teachers undertook strategies to develop the technological pedagogical content knowledge (TPACK) while managing their self-efficacy beliefs. Employing a mixed-method research approach, this study gathered the data using closed-ended and open-ended questionnaires, individual interviews, and in-depth interviews. Responses revealed that 18 participants completed a 5-item Likert-type survey measuring the level of teachers’ TPACK self-efficacy. The survey measures the three major aspects of TPACK mean value for teachers’ technological knowledge (TK) (X ̅=23.55) and pedagogical knowledge (PK) (X ̅=19.55), both of which are relatively higher than the value of the content knowledge (CK) (X ̅=16). The dominant factor affecting the high percentage in those two aspects emanates from the teachers’ persistent accounts that they need to be independent in learning while constantly updating their knowledge. This research also discusses the suggestion for future research studies for developing teachers’ TPACK self-efficacy.

Despite the growing interest in research on Teacher Professional Development (TPD) carried out by previous researchers, the voices of local EFL teachers in different regions in Indonesia in which top-down TPD activities are still prevalent remain underrepresented. As a result, in order to fill a gap in the literature, the current study sought to investigate the TPD activities undertaken by EFL teachers, the extent to which those formal TPD programs had an impact on their professional development based on their perceptions, and the constraints that they encountered. This descriptive qualitative study utilized a questionnaire and semi-structured interview as the instruments to gather the data and ensure triangulation for trustworthiness. Twenty-five English teachers from various Junior High schools associated with MGMP in Cirebon, West Java were voluntarily involved in this research. The result revealed that TPD activities that the participants have undertaken all these times helped them improve self-efficacy, attitudes, beliefs, reflective competence, classroom practice and instructional skills, and teacher knowledge and skills. Nevertheless, some challenges such as excessive workload as a teacher, time constraints or mismatched schedule, limited choices of TPD programs that were not in line with teachers’ interests, the mismatch between teachers’ needs and what the program offered, limited access and information about the programs, and less effective program duration remained prevalent during the TPD program implementation.

Professional identity is the main key construct that cannot be separated from teacher career development. Despite the large number of studies examining professional identity, its relationship with work-related behavior at career stages and their psychological aspects such as self-efficacy has not been extensively investigated, especially in Indonesia. The purpose of this study is to look at the correlation between teachers' professional identity and their general self-efficacy. Participants are EFL instructors from the primary to university level in Yogyakarta. The mixed method framework was used to acquire the data with a questionnaire and interview. An altered version of the General Self-Efficacy (GSE) and Teacher Professional Identity Scale (TPIS) questionnaire was used to gather quantitative data. According to the findings of this study, the average score for General Self-Efficacy (GSE) is 40.1333, while the average score for Teacher Professional Identity (TPI) is 55.8667. The Pearson correlation test findings show a modest link between GSE and TPI in this study, with a correlation value of 0.459.

Many studies have reported that strong motivation between students and their teachers leads to successful English language learning. The vital function of teacher-student interactions in improving student learning still lacks comprehensive research in multilingual countries, particularly in the Rwandan EFL context. This research investigates how teacher-student relations affect the motivational levels of EFL students from Rwandan secondary schools, and how senior English teachers and students develop intrinsic and extrinsic motivation through emotional support, individualized teaching methods, and interactive respect. The study employed a qualitative method with a case study design. Data were gathered from ten teachers and four high school students using semi-structured interviews, and then analyzed thematically. The results indicate that good teacher-student relations promote English learning by motivating students' active participation and better results, which are ensured by the teacher's interest and positive attitude towards students. The research affirms the need for teacher professional development programs, which have the potential to impart practical, relational teaching strategies to various students. The result of studies assists in the acquisition of multicultural language learning. Policymakers can consider these findings to develop education policies promoting student motivation and EFL success in Rwandan classrooms.

Authentic assessment (AuA) is emerging as an alternative that has its own appeal, especially in the context of sustainability education. Although numerous studies have investigated how authentic assessment is perceived and practiced in EFL higher education within Indonesia, studies which connects AuA practices with sustainability education are still underrepresented. AuA practices can promote students’ critical thinking and problem-solving skills and is increasingly recognized for its potentials to promote meaningful and effective learning, especially in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) classrooms. This study investigates two key questions: (1) how EFL lecturers perceive and address the challenges of implementing authentic assessment in sustainability education; and (2) what instructional strategies lecturers can use to implement authentic assessment in sustainability education. Using a mixed-methods approach, survey data and follow-up interviews were collected from 30 English lecturers of various universities in Indonesia. The quantitative data shows that lecturers view authentic assessment as a relevant and effective tool. However, the data highlighted two key challenges: limited time and pressure from institutional expectations. Qualitative results further reveal how lecturers design assessment tasks, reflect on their practice, and integrate sustainability values into their teaching, while pointing to the need for institutional support. Overall, the study highlights lecturers’ positive perceptions and emphasizes the importance of external support to ensure authentic assessment effectively promotes context-relevant learning and sustainability education.

This study examines the understanding of English as a Foreign Language by master’s degree students about incorporating AI-driven applications into learning to boost their metacognitive knowledge at Driyarkara University (Pseudonym). The objectives explore the EFL learners’ understanding of digital applications for enhancing metacognition and their experiences utilizing the tools for enhancing metacognitive knowledge. Purposive-comprehensive sampling was utilized in mixed-method research. Twelve students from the first semester of the English Education Master Program (EEMP) were the research participants for the survey. Close-ended and open-ended responses were analyzed to discover the various impacts of AI-powered tools, such as Google Gemini and Chat GPT, which would be classified in the coding process. The unstructured interview transcripts were deciphered to detect EFL learners’ experiences using AI-powered tools to enhance metacognitive knowledge. The findings revealed that AI-powered tools could give learners insightful feedback, a personalized learning style, and more self-assessment opportunities. Enhancing metacognitive knowledge was needed to establish an effective way of thinking and construct critical thinking outcomes. This study also suggested that AI-powered tools provided EFL learners more flexibility to gather materials and search for further references.

The professional development of novice teachers has nowadays become an urgent concern, particularly in rural areas where contextual challenges are complex and multifaceted. While formal training continues to dominate professional development discourse, there is growing recognition that critical, emotionally charged experiences, often unplanned and situated within local realities, play a pivotal role in shaping teacher identity and growth. This research aims to investigate how critical professional experiences influence the development of five Gen Z novice English teachers in rural Kalimantan Barat, Indonesia. Beyond classroom-centered perspectives, this study examines incidents arising from interactions with school leaders, peers, parents, and the broader community. Guided by a qualitative interpretive paradigm, this research adopts the Critical Incident Technique (CIT) and uses thematic analysis, the research captures the data through semi-structured interviews and reflective narratives. Findings indicate that critical incidents not only challenge novice teachers emotionally and pedagogically but also serve as catalysts for reflection, adaptation, and resilience. The study highlights the value of context-specific, experiential learning in fostering professional growth. These results suggest the need for localized, reflective professional development and rural-responsive educational policies.

A B S T R A C T Microteaching classes can be a challenging area of negotiation between personal and professional values which can help and provide pre-service teachers understanding and opportunities to hone their teaching and learning process better. This research aims to identify the application of metacognitive strategies in the preparation process for teaching practice in microteaching classes, by focusing on the research questions regarding the implementation of metacognitive strategies in teaching practice exercises and students’s motivation to apply metacognitive strategies in micro-teaching classes. A qualitative case study method was used to answer these two research questions by employing purposive sampling with three participants in a micro-teaching class (semester five). The study reveals that students applied metacognitive strategies of goal-setting, planning, monitoring, and evaluating strategies to enhance their teaching practices. These strategies are influenced by internal and external motivation factors, such as intuition, personal experience, and self-awareness. Nevertheless, as this study involved a small group and did not focus on real classroom practices, future studies are suggested to involve more participants and combine methods to track both the immediate and long-term effects of using metacognitive strategies in teacher training.
