<![CDATA[Indonesia's Ministry of Education has integrated the Leadership Project course into the Pendidikan Profesi Guru (PPG) program, emphasizing the development of professional qualifications and leadership skills among EFL pre-service teachers. This study scrutinizes the influence of both conceptual and practical frameworks of the course on cultivating leadership competencies. It poses two pivotal questions: Firstly, how do pre-service EFL teachers perceive these frameworks within leadership projects? Secondly, what challenges do they face in executing these projects effectively? Utilizing an explanatory mixed-methods design, the study collated and analyzed data from 31 participants through surveys and inductive thematic coding. It revealed that while EFL pre-service teachers have a positive reception of leadership involving collective knowledge and change initiation, they also report significant hurdles. Implementing complex frameworks like Sustainability NEWS (Nature, Economy, Well-being, Society) and Appreciative Inquiry presented difficulties, predominantly due to time limitations and communication barriers with target groups. Furthermore, a gap in understanding the conceptual underpinnings led to complications in the planning and sustainable implementation of projects, exacerbated by tight schedules and financial restrictions. Feedback from participants highlighted a need for program enhancements, suggesting refined policies, more rigorous consultation processes, and an enriched focus on reflective practices. The study offers valuable insights into the perceptions of EFL pre-service teachers regarding leadership programs.]]>

<![CDATA[Studies on language teachers' agency and self-efficacy have shown that both are essential elements of teachers' identities and practices. However, only some researchers have explored how teachers perceive their agency and self-efficacy in the Indonesian context. Thus, this study aimed to investigate how English teachers perceive their agency and self-efficacy in their teaching practices and environments. This study employed a mixed method study in which both quantitative and qualitative data were utilized to answer the inquiry. The results shed light on how teachers perceive agency with school conditions, how they perceive their self-agency, and their aspiration to become agentic teachers. It was revealed that the majority of the teachers perform professional development to stimulate their agency and efficacy. Challenges were also explored in this article. The evidence of this study imparts policy and practice implications as well as future research direction to gain a deeper understanding of teachers’ agency and efficacy as well as to foster the practice in school contexts.]]>

<![CDATA[Teacher resilience refers to the ability of teachers to adapt to challenges and overcome difficulties in their professional lives. The debates in literatures have centred around the ideas that resilience is not a static characteristic, but rather a fluid and evolving characteristic that can be cultivated and reinforced through a period of time. Pre-service teachers, especially those engaging in school-based practicums as part of their teacher education, should put significant thought into the identities they cultivate as future educators. This study aims to compare pre-service teachers’ resilience during first and second of their internship at school. The research question deriving from this aim is as follows, “What are the students’ comparative perceptions of their resilience during first and second phase of their internship? A questionnaire was employed to gather the data needed for the research. The findings show that second phase internship students have greater teacher resilience than the first phase internship students. The differences seen can be linked to a range of reasons, including disparate encounters during the teaching practicum, self-efficacy, social support, and the ability to interpret challenges as prospects for growth. Moreover, it has been found that external factors, such as parental expectations and financial considerations, have a significant impact on the development of teacher identity and passion for the teaching profession.]]>

<![CDATA[Despite numerous studies on teacher’s agency and self-efficacy, little attention has been given to examining how teachers’ agency manifests in the use of artificial intelligence and how it influences teachers’ self-efficacy. Teachers as active agents are demanded to effectively and independently exercise their digital agency in teaching. In essence, teacher’s agency allows them to make informed choices about using artificial intelligence to promote their teaching, which might influence their perceptions of their self-efficacy. Thus, this study aims to fill the gap by examining how EFL teachers’ agency manifests in the utilization of AI tools and how they perceive their self-efficacy. Employing a qualitative study, this research employed open-ended questionnaires and semi-structured interviews to gather the data. Five EFL teachers who have used artificial intelligence in their teaching participated in this study. To analyze the data, the researcher employed selective coding. The data revealed two teacher agency drove three participants to use artificial intelligence in three parts namely lesson planning, implementation, and assessment, and the other two participants used it for lesson planning and assessment. Furthermore, this study found that the five participants perceived high self-efficacy towards their use of artificial intelligence. Thus, schools and teacher educational programs should provide targeted professional development programs that emphasize the importance of teacher agency. In particular, training should focus on how teachers can utilize artificial intelligence tools to enhance their pedagogical practices that contribute to building high self-efficacy.]]>

<![CDATA[The main issue in this research is how to determine the dominant type of motivation perceived by junior high school students in learning English, and how the factors of self-satisfaction and obligation shape students' intrinsic and extrinsic motivation in the process of learning English. The research aims to know the dominant motivation type perceived by junior high schools in learning English and how self-satisfaction and obligation shape the students’ intrinsic and extrinsic motivation to learn English. This research employed a mixed method that combines the quantitative and qualitative data. The researchers used a closed-ended questionnaire and semi-structured interview to gather the data. The data from the questionnaire were analyzed by calculating the mean of each statement. The Likert scale was applied to assess the level and type of student's motivation to learn English. At the same time, the interview data were analyzed. The participants of this research were 60 students of SMP N 1 Selopampang Temanggung. The findings showed the students’ extrinsic motivation to learn English is at a high level, while the students’ intrinsic motivation is at a moderate level. Moreover, intrinsic motivation is influenced by self-satisfaction and excitement. However, extrinsic motivation is a combination of control regulation style and self-satisfaction. Hence obligation is the factor that can drive the individual to self-satisfaction. The finding of this research would impact the teacher in teaching media, material, and strategies selected to increase the student's learning motivation and reduce the students' learning loss.]]>

<![CDATA[This study sought to investigate the identity construction of Indonesian Montessori teachers. The research was done in two Montessori schools in Yogyakarta: Cosmic School and Universe School (pseudonyms). The participants involved in this research were eight teachers in total. The data gathering process employed questionnaire, classroom observation, interview, and written reflections. The findings have shed a light on the ways teachers develop their identities within Montessori’s values and principles that they reflect and implement in their daily teaching practice. The findings of the research portrayed that there were four major salient principles influencing the identity formation of becoming Montessori teachers. They were movement and cognition, choice, interest, and teacher ways and child ways. Those principles and values were becoming teachers’ guidance of creating professional working ethos. Montessori principles also influenced the teachers in the ways they perceived and treated the students. This study also revealed the undertaken agencies to hold identity as Montessori teachers. There were three broad themes to explain their agencies. They entailed the essence of building communication between teacher and parents, the significance of community support, and the importance of being well-prepared teachers. Based on the findings and discussion, some recommendations for future studies are also presented.]]>

<![CDATA[Journaling serves as a documented account of the thoughts and emotions experienced in daily life. This term has also been analyzed in the educational context, especially in language learning. In addition, online reflective journals have been the subject of multiple studies, but these studies have all involved teachers rather than students. Thus, the effect of formative online reflective journals on SRL among college students is investigated in this research. The data was evaluated using central tendency measurement after fifty-two students were asked to provide quantitative data on their perspectives on using reflective journals. Subsequently, five students were interviewed using a semi-structured interview to gather additional qualitative data. Additionally, document analysis was used in this investigation. The results show that students' SRL abilities may be significantly improved by using online reflective journals, which contribute to students' motivation, self-awareness, and metacognition. During this research process, educator administration, an appropriate method and the empowering of student learning environment are elements that affects reflective journals being active properly. The results of this study are anticipated to offer important insights on the use and efficacy formative online reflective journals, as one intervention tool for SRL among higher education students in a well-established university setting. More precisely, the outcomes guide us on responding to this research question: What are the key components of formative online reflective journals that support the development of self-regulated learning (SRL) among higher education students?]]>
