Abstract

Jeopardy game is a common game for players to compete for the highest score.  Nevertheless, this game can be modified to provide the students with a fun, engaging, and challenging interactive game for learning activities. The use of the Jeopardy game in improving teaching-learning activities was abundant, whereas the use of Jeopardy in vocational high school was little to be found. This study tried to figure out the implementation of Jeopardy games in enhancing reading skills for vocational high school students. Classroom action research was conducted to observe students' improvement in reading after implementing Jeopardy games in reading activities. Closed-ended questionnaires on how the jeopardy games influence the teaching process and activities were conducted to get the quantitative data. Observation, reflection, open-ended questionnaire, and FGD were gathered to strengthen the result of quantitative data. The results showed that students demonstrated better reading comprehension from the diagnostic test, cycle I, and cycle II results; mean score 5.76, 6.48, and 7.28. Students also reported that they got motivated and were likely to read more. To conclude, students stated that they experienced some improvement in cooperative learning and reading strategies. The implication of the study is discussed at the end of this article.

Abstract

Effective English language teaching demands proficient teachers, as pre-service teachers in the English Education department must possess strong English proficiency to teach effectively. This study investigates the perceptions of metacognitive awareness among pre-service EFL teachers in an Indonesian context. Quantitative data were collected using Balcikanli’s Metacognitive Awareness Inventory (MAI), and qualitative data were gathered through semi-structured interviews. The findings reveal that pre-service teachers in the English Language Education department display varying levels of metacognitive awareness, which impacts their ability to effectively teach English. 60% of participants have a moderate perception of their metacognitive awareness, while 40% exhibit a high level. Key aspects of metacognition, including declarative, procedural, and conditional knowledge, as well as regulation of cognition through planning, monitoring, and evaluating, were examined. It highlighted that the pre-service teachers are generally aware of their learning strengths and weaknesses but face challenges in regulating learning effectively. The study contributes to the field of English language learning and teaching by emphasizing the role of metacognitive awareness in achieving successful language acquisition and suggests that ongoing support and training are essential for pre-service teachers to become effective educators.

Abstract

The implementation of Curiklum Merdeka, a new curriculum in Indonesia, has highlighted the importance of teacher agency and resilience. Curriculum changes and significant differences from the previous curriculum present challenges for Indonesian teachers, requiring the important role of teacher agency and resilience in identifying and solving problems effectively. The aim of this research is to see the correlation between teacher agency and their resilience when facing difficulties related to the implementation of the Merdeka Curriculum. This research uses a quantitative method strategy. 41 educators who have used the Merdeka Curriculum became research subjects. Participants were given closed-ended and open-ended questionnaires to complete to collect data. Semi-structured interviews were conducted to support the results of the questionnaire. For the questionnaire results, the researchers conducted descriptive statistical analysis with SPSS 26, and for the interview results, a narrative inquiry approach was used. This study found that teachers demonstrated a high level of agency and resilience in implementing the Merdeka Curriculum, using a variety of teaching methods and resources. There is a strong positive relationship between agency and teacher resilience, meaning that higher agency will increase resilience. However, teachers face challenges such as rigid mindsets, lack of preparation, limited resources, and technological difficulties.

Abstract

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.

Abstract

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.

Abstract

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.

Abstract

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.

Abstract

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.

Abstract

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.
