Abstract

Several studies have investigated how the TESOL program influenced the construction of Non-Native English Speaker Teachers’ identities, yet few literature concerns about the negotiation of NNESTs’ identity as legitimate speakers and teachers of English. This paper was an auto-ethnographic investigation of my personal experience as one of international students in the TESOL program at an Australian university. Drawing on Norton’s theory of language and identity, this study examined a complex process of my identity formation as a legitimate speaker and teacher of English after studying one of a critical pedagogical unit ‘Language, Culture, and Curriculum’. The findings revealed that the TESOL program enabled me to discover and explore another part of myself as a legitimate speaker and teacher of English through linguistic constructs and rich knowledge given in that unit. It also supported that a critical pedagogical unit could empower international students to form their identities as confident and professional English teachers back to their countries.

Abstract

The teaching and learning process should be conducted effectively so that students can obtain the learning objectives. In so doing, teachers should have the ability to deliver the teaching materials effectively by conducting good classroom management. In this case, as prospective teachers, pre-service teachers should manage the classroom well to maintain teaching effectively. However, handling classroom management is not easy, and therefore pre-service teachers should apply appropriate strategies in managing the classroom. This research aims to investigate the strategies that pre-service teachers use to overcome the problems in managing the classroom during their teaching practices in a private senior high school. A qualitative research approach was employed to answer the research questions, in which in-depth interviews were administered to collect the data. Besides, four pre-service teachers at an Islamic university in Yogyakarta volunteered as the participants in this study. This study’s results showed that the participants applied several strategies to respond to the problems emerging during their teaching practice. The strategies which these pre-service teachers applied to overcome the problems comprised 1) improving self-confidence, 2) preparing lessons carefully, 3) anticipating unpredictable situations, 4) responding to unpredictable questions wisely, and 5) handling with the students’ heterogeneity. Having various ways of handling classroom management, these pre-service teachers could deliver the lesson effectively. Therefore, this study is beneficial for those who are having teaching practice to keep the classroom run successfully.

Dengan adanya kebijakan pembelajaran secara daring dikarenakan adanya anjuran pemerintah untuk menerapkan social distancing dan dalam rangka mencegah kluster covid-19 di sekolah, maka sekolah-sekolah dituntut agar tetap dapat memberikan pembelajaran efektif kepada peserta didik. Kegiatan pengabdian masyarakat (abdimas) ini ditujukan untuk mengatasi permasalahan-permasalahan yang muncul dalam pembelajaran daring. Secara lebih spesifik, kegiatan abdimas ini ditujukan untuk membangun pembelajaran daring dengan cara melakukan pendampingan kepada guru-guru di sebuah sekolah menengah atas negeri di Kasihan, Bantul, Yogyakarta. Metodologi yang dilakukan meliputi mengadakan pelatihan teknis LMS (Learning Management System) kepada tim Informasi dan Teknologi (IT) sekolah, dan kemudian dilanjutkan dengan mengadakan Training of Trainer (TOT) kepada 10 orang guru yang akan menjadi mentor bagi para guru-guru di sekolah, dan akhirnya pelatihan penggunaan LMS kepada seluruh guru-guru di sekolah dilakukan sebagai rangkaian akhir dari kegiatan abdimas ini. Hasil dari abdimas ini adalah tersedianya laman pembelajaran daring di sekolah menengah atas negeri di Kasihan, Bantul, Yogyakarta tersebut. Kegiatan abdimas ini membawa implikasi positif terhadap pembelajaran daring di sekolah tersebut. Mengingat bahwa kegiatan abdimas ini sangat dibutuhkan oleh sekolah menengah atas negeri tersebut dan sangat kontekstual dengan situasi pandemi saat ini, maka kegiatan yang sejenis dapat pula direduplikasi dan ditawarkan di sekolah lain.

Abstract

Sekolah sebagai salah satu agen pendidikan yang bertanggung jawab terhadap peningkatan kualitas sumber daya manusia harus selalu meningkatkan kualitasnya terutama dalam pengajaran. Pandemi Covid-19 menuntut sekolah untuk dapat terus melaksanakan proses KBM dengan baik, meskipun semua dilakukan secara daring. Penggunaan LMS “Mupat Belajar” yang berbasis Moodle dapat menjadi salah satu solusi untuk melaksanakan pembelajaran secara daring. “Mupat Belajar” ini sudah digunakan selama semester ganjil 2020/2021. Akan tetapi, ada beberapa permasalahan yang berkaitan dengan penggunaan “Mupat Belajar” yang harus segera diselesaikan agar tujuan utama dari keberadaan “Mupat Belajar” ini dapat dicapai secara maksimal oleh pihak sekolah, yaitu tampilan awal mata pelajaran yang masih beragam, penggunaan fitur, dan aktifitas di “Mupat Belajar” yang belum maksimal. Untuk mengatasi permasalahan-permasalahan tersebut, dilakukanlah pelatihan dan pendampingan kepada guru-guru di SMA Muhammadiyah 4 Yogyakarta khususnya enam orang tim Informasi dan Teknologi (IT) sekolah dan juga sepuluh orang guru trainer yang telah ditunjuk sekolah. Kegiatan tersebut dilakukan agar guru-guru yang tergabung dalam tim IT dan guru trainer tersebut mempunyai keterampilan yang memadai sehingga dapat memberikan pelatihan kepada guru-guru yang lain. Selain itu, monitoring terhadap pembelajaran daring di sekolah juga dilakukan untuk merumuskan hal-hal yang perlu dilakukan untuk perbaikan implementasi “Mupat Belajar” kedepannya.

Abstract

This study aimed to unpack higher education teachers’ beliefs about grading decision making. A qualitative approach was employed in this study to answer the research question. In-depth semi-structured interview as the main data collecting technique was utilized to gather any information from higher education teachers. Four higher education teachers with different educational backgrounds and teaching experiences volunteered to be the participants. Three main themes were generated from the data i.e., the factors considered in grading decision making, the most challenging parts in grading, and handing students’ complaints about grades. This study indicates that developing assessment rubrics, discussing them with students, and documenting them in the learning contract may be effective strategies for teachers to remind the students of the course requirements to reach minimum criteria of mastery learning.

Abstract

Teacher Professional Development (TPD) is any activities conducted by teachers to upgrade their teaching skills in order to maintain their professionalism. The activities of TPD have recently been greatly affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, resulting in the termination of almost all TPD activities. The study aimed at investigating TPD among English language secondary school teachers during the COVID-19 pandemic focusing on its opportunities and challenges. Using qualitative approach and descriptive qualitative research design, the study involved four English language teachers at two Secondary Schools in Yogyakarta as the participants. In-depth interviews with these four participants were conducted to achieve the objectives of this study. The findings of the study discovered that mastering the technology, improving the competency in designing online class, improving the competency in class management skill, and building peer collaboration among teachers were all the opportunities experienced by the teachers in conducting TPD activities during the COVID-19 pandemic. Moreover, teachers’ lack of digital competency, unstable internet network, limited number of TPD activities, and inadequate support system were the challenges experienced by these teachers in conducting TPD activities during the COVID-19 pandemic. These findings imply that despite the difficult times these English teachers faced during COVID-19 pandemic, they managed to improve their qualities as teachers by maximizing the opportunities of conducting TPD.
