Abstract

The field of students’ beliefs in reading comprehension has become an increasingly significant research issue in the educational context. However, there have been very few studies examining attributional beliefs and metacognitive strategies adopted by EFL graduate students to deal with comprehension skills and reading difficulties. Applying the attribution framework, this study aimed to fill in the gap by investigating students’ attributional beliefs, metacognitive reading strategies, and the correlation between attribution and metacognitive reading strategies. The researchers employed mixed-method research with questionnaires and interviews as the instruments to collect data. The results showed that the majority of students attributed their successes or failures to internal factors (efforts and strategies). Many students claimed that they often experienced reading difficulties during online learning. Lastly, the Pearson correlation showed that there was a strong correlation (r = 0.746) between attributional beliefs and metacognitive reading strategies. This study offers several implications for language learning, in particular, the academic reading comprehension. First, students need to have a higher awareness of attributional beliefs in academic reading. Second, language teachers should support students to develop internal attribution and metacognitive strategies in academic reading.

Abstract

Being a non-permanent English teacher in a remote area is not easy. The non-permanent teachers have to face many challenges. Without having resilience, the teachers can not survive to teach in the area. This study investigated the factors that influenced the resilience of the non-permanent English teachers in building a professional identity in the remote areas of South Sulawesi. The mixed-method explanatory sequential experimental design was used by involving non-permanent English teachers at five schools in the remote area of Tana Toraja, South Sulawesi Province. The RSA Scale questionnaire and interview were used to find out what factors influenced teachers’ resilience. The results showed that the challenges faced by non-permanent English teachers made them resilient teachers. Personal resources and contextual resources seemed to play a major role in their growth of resilience. The high resilience of teachers shapes their professional identity, which makes them stay afloat and think that teaching is their calling. This study suggests implications for the education of policymakers and the government in Indonesia, and also for future researchers who are interested in a similar topic may conduct further studies with a broader context

Abstract

Being a teacher in special needs school is not an easy job. Besides having to possess knowledge about children with special needs, special needs school teachers are required to have high patience and good mentality at work. One factor that affects the teachers’ success in educating students at special needs school, is the teachers’ motivation in carrying out their obligation. This study aimed to investigate what factors affected Indonesian teachers’ motivation in shaping and developing their identities and what strategies they used in teaching students with special needs.Using a qualitative method, the researchers gained data by interviewing teachers from two special needs schools in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. After analyzing the data, the researchers found that both intrinsic factors such as the desire to assist students with special needs to be more independent, and extrinsic factors such as family, students, and colleagues influenced the teachers’ motivation to teach in special needs schools in Yogyakarta. These factors played an important role in developing and shaping the teachers’ identity. The researchers also found that audio visual materials became the most effective and helpful strategies in teaching English for special needs schools. This study offers some suggestions for future researchers and Indonesian government.Keywords: Teacher Identity, motivation, teaching strategies, audio visual materials

Abstract

The global market’s growth influences the increasing need of English speaking proficiency for many professions. Hence, non-English department students equip themselves with English speaking proficiency. Some take courses in some informal institutions; others make their own independent English club. A group of metacognitive Civil Engineering students in Indonesia formed a Speaking Club to facilitate their learning. The research aimed to measure the metacognitive awareness of some Civil Engineering students during their independent learning activities. The analysis was done by using the Metacognitive Awareness Inventory (MAI). To triangulate the data, interviews, observation and critical reflection were used. From the research it could be concluded that independent learning can be facilitated and born from cooperative learning. Cooperative learning builds up learners’ motivation through peer feedbacks and monitoring done by a tutor. Metacognitive awareness was built upon the realization of clear learning objectives, followed by self-determination, and planning. Consistency is also required to sustain self-regulated learning. Keywords:  Metacognitive Awareness, Speaking, Learning Strategy

Abstract

Abstract: Motivation is a paramount aspect in the learning process. It is a drive that encourages students to achieve better learning results. In the process of accomplishing the learning task, students might encounter difficulties that can demotivate them. Therefore, motivation-regulation is needed to maintain students’ motivation in completing the task. Many studies have been done to investigate master students’ academic reading. Yet, little research has explored master students' motivation-regulation in academic reading. This paper sought to investigate the role of motivation-regulation in master students’ academic reading. It employed mixed-method research where the researchers distributed questionnaires and conducted an interview to collect the data. The research took place at the English Education Master’s Program of Sanata Dharma University from February to April in 2020. There were 14 master students involved in this study. The findings showed that there were three roles of motivation-regulation in master students’ academic reading: (1) Students had high self-efficacy in academic reading which enable them to accomplish the academic reading task; (2) they had an intrinsic interest in academic reading which empowered them to maintain their motivation in the process of academic reading; (3) they had positive emotions towards academic reading. The researchers concluded that the students in this study are capable of regulating their motivation in an academic reading task. This study proposed two suggestions for future research.Keywords: motivation, self-regulated learning, motivation-regulation, academic reading

Abstract

Personal journeys in teacher education programs are crucial in helping pre-service teachers to build “a strong and positive professional identity” (Ivanova & Skara-Mincne, 2016; Yuan & Lee, 2015). This study aimed to elaborate on critical incidents regarding beliefs and motivation to become teachers in shaping teacher professional identity. It involved pre-service teachers who major in a Master’s Program in English Education at a university in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. As the methodology to collect data, critical incident techniques was used, which constitute five steps: 1) Establishing general aims; 2) Establishing plans and specifications (formulating frames of references and categories); 3) Collecting data; 4) Analyzing data; and 5) Interpreting, analyzing, and reporting data (Hughes, Williamson, & Lloyd, 2007). Some teachers may mix their experiences with blind judgments due to emotional reactions. Thus, critical incident technique enables pre-service teachers to revisit their incidents critically. The results of the study led to a conclusion that lack of personal connections between the participants and people who had taught them contributed to the participants’ neutral beliefs about teaching, which in turn contributed to their low intrinsic motivation to be teachers.

Abstract

Several studies have recorded the increasing number of teachers who left the profession in the first year of teaching in recent years. The main cause is the difficulties over the first year of teaching and the unsatisfactory construction and growth of professional identity. This qualitative study attempted to reveal the struggles faced during their first year of teaching by EFL novice teachers working in Nusa Tenggara Timur, Indonesia and how they coped with those struggles regarding their development of professional identity. The struggles are split into internal and external struggles based on the result. The internal struggles are linked to how teachers controlled their emotions self-efficacy, and ability to teach, their jobs and their personal opinions. The external challenges related to the management of the classroom, the abilities, and attitudes of the students, the lack of resources and facilities in the school, the relationships with their colleagues and their salaries. This research is intended to provide more insight into the realities of teachers working in an underdeveloped province like East Nusa Tenggara, in particular how they establish their professional identity in a lack of facilities and learning resources.Keywords: East Nusa Tenggara; Novice Teachers; Professional Identity; Struggles and Strategies

Abstract

ABSTRACTStudies have investigated teacher vulnerability and its relation to teacher identity construction. Teacher vulnerability may emerge from internal and external conflicts based on teachers’ experiences. Though studies covered internal and external challenges for teachers, they rarely compared the academic environment aspect. This research intended to see if environment variables as external factors caused different experiences and vulnerabilities in novice EFL teachers. Therefore, this research aimed to determine if the different academic environments in formal and non-formal settings posed distinct challenges for novice EFL teachers. This study used narrative inquiry with a reflection and interview to gather the data. The participants were four novice EFL teachers: two teachers from formal education (FE) and non-formal education (NFE). The results showed that FE and NFE teachers shared some challenges, including student participation and classroom management, that led to vulnerability. Still, FE and NFE teachers also shared their distinct challenges. The teachers had similar strategies to cope with their vulnerability, but FE and NFE teachers employed additional strategies to face their distinct challenges. This study may help teachers consider different teaching environments for identifying and overcoming vulnerability. ABSTRAKBanyak studi telah meneliti kerentanan guru dan relasinya dengan pembentukan identitas guru. Kerentanan guru dapat tumbuh dari pertentangan internal dan eksternal, berdasarkan pengalaman para guru. Walau banyak studi telah mempelajari tantangan internal dan ekternal guru, namun belum banyak studi yang membandingkan aspek lingkungan akademik. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk melihat apakah variabel lingkungan sebagai faktor eksternal menyebabkan perbedaan pengalaman dan kerentanan bagi guru Bahasa Inggris pemula. Maka dari itu, penelitian ini bertujuan untuk melihat apakah lingkungan akademik formal dan non-formal yang berbeda memberikan tantangan yang berbeda bagi guru Bahasa Inggris pemula. Penelitian ini menggunakan penelitian naratif dengan refleksi dan wawancara untuk mengumpulkan data. Responden studi ini adalah empat guru Bahasa Inggris pemula, dua orang dari pendidikan formal (PF) dan dua orang dari pendidikan non-formal (PNF). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa guru pendidikan formal dan non-formal mengalami berbagai tantangan serupa, seperti partisipasi siswa dan manajemen kelas, yang merujuk pada kerentanan guru, namun guru PF dan PNF juga mengalami tantangan yang berbeda. Untuk mengatasi kerentanan mereka, guru juga menerapkan strategi yang serupa, namun guru PF dan PNF juga menerapkan beberapa strategi yang berbeda dalam mengatasi tantangan. Penelitian ini dapat membantu para guru untuk mempertimbangkan lingkungan mengajar yang berbeda dalam mengidentifikasi dan mengatasi kerentanan.

Abstract

Metacognitive strategies have been investigated as helping tools for students’ reading comprehension, but their use may vary between males and females. Though gender is an essential factor in language learning, few studies highlighted the influence of gender on the metacognitive reading strategy use by Indonesian students. To fill in the gap, this study investigated the use of metacognitive strategies during academic reading from a gender perspective. A mixed-method was adopted, with open-ended and close-ended questionnaires and a semi-structured interview used to gather the data. From the quantitative data analysis, the students used most metacognitive strategies to a high degree. The only significantly different strategy use was guessing meaning (F=0.232, p<0.05), where male students used it more often. From the qualitative data analysis, the female students used more strategy variations than the male students (20 and 18 strategy variations respectively).  The students shared some similar and some different reasons to use metacognitive reading strategies. The results suggested the gender influence on male students to make predictions. The findings from this research will prompt English teachers to introduce metacognitive strategies in reading through appropriate instructions and guidance to enable the students to implement and develop their metacognitive strategies in academic reading.

Abstract

Constructing teacher identity is important for pre-service teachers, especially when taking part in teacher training practicums in school. Nonetheless, they faced many adversities, such as passive students, negative emotions, and anxiety. Therefore, pre-service teachers need to be aware of their capacity for resilience. This study aimed to discover the resilience factors pre-service teachers had in coping with the problems found in teacher training practicums in schools in constructing their teacher identity. A mixed-method study from questionnaires and semi-structured interviews was employed to gather quantitative and qualitative data. The participants reported that they faced hard times but displayed high resilient ability. It was influenced by their perseverance, ability to reflect,  adaptive help-seeking,  responses to the negative affect, and emotional regulation. The resilient ability supports the teacher identity construction after conducting a teaching practicum in school. Further research needs to consider the number of participants, gender, age, and the school levels where the teaching practicums are conducted to gain more perspectives on pre-service teachers’ resilience.
