Abstract

First semester students face a transition period as an adaptation process to prepare themselves for changes in the academic environment. Students who have difficulty adjusting to changes and new academic demands tend to feel stressed and face various conflicts in meeting the demands of the academic environment. Self-efficacy is students' belief in their own abilities, playing an important role in determining their success in facing academic demands. The objective of this study was to investigate the role of self-efficacy in basic writing of first year students in English Language Education Study Program. The researchers gained data from 26 students in Basic writing Class by using quantitative approach. From the data analysis the researchers found that the self-efficacy of first-year students was considered good even though it was still low, with an average self-efficacy of 3.9. This shows that self-efficacy needs to be considered as a key factor that influences the process and results of student learning. Therefore, it is important for educators to explain to students about the role of self-efficacy in supporting their success in learning, as well as provide support to increase students' self-confidence in their ability to learn and write.

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

The Merdeka Curriculum gives schools and teachers greater autonomy in designing ‘result learning objectives’, which can result in variations in cognitive orientation between regions. This study examines the distribution of LOTS and HOTS in the learning outcomes of 10th grade English classes developed based on the Merdeka Curriculum in two regional contexts: Yogyakarta and Sintang, West Kalimantan. This study used a comparative qualitative research design and applies content analysis to evaluate learning outcomes extracted from two English modules developed by teachers. Bloom's Revised Taxonomy was adopted as an analytical framework to classify learning outcomes into six cognitive levels and categorize them into LOTS and HOTS. The results show that the two modules cover all levels of Bloom's taxonomy, indicating broader compliance with the curriculum's emphasis on cognitive development. However, differences are often found in cognitive orientation. The module in Yogyakarta placed more emphasis on HOTS, targeting 56% LOTS and 44% HOTS, while the Sintang module emphasized LOTS more, targeting 54.5% LOTS and 45.5% HOTS. These differences reflected variations in regional context, teacher assessment, and resource availability in curriculum implementation. This study emphasizes the need for more authentic, balanced, and context-sensitive work guidelines to help integrate HOTS more consistently across regions within the Merdeka Curriculum framework.Keywords: Higher-Order Thinking Skills (HOTS); Learning Outcomes Alignment; Lower-Order Thinking Skills (LOTS); Merdeka Curriculum; Qualitative Content Analysis; Revised Bloom’s Taxonomy Framework

Abstract

Cross-cultural teaching experiences, while often challenging, offer significant developmental value for pre-service teachers. Participants in such programs frequently encounter cultural norms and instructional contexts that diverge from their prior expectations. Despite the growing prevalence of international teaching practicums, empirical research specifically examining the expectation–reality gap in cross-cultural teaching remains limited. To address this gap, the present study investigates how Indonesian pre-service English teachers experience shifts between their initial expectations and classroom realities during a one-month teaching placement in Chiang Rai, Thailand. In addition, the study explores how such teaching experiences influence the participants' professional confidence and motivation. Employing a qualitative descriptive design, the researchers recruited five participants and conducted semi-structured interviews. The data were analyzed thematically to identify recurring patterns and emergent themes. The findings indicate that participants experienced uncertainty and diminished confidence when confronted with unanticipated classroom events and cultural differences. Over time, however, the cross-cultural environment served as a catalyst for rebuilding both confidence and motivation, suggesting that such challenges can be reframed as opportunities for professional growth within international English language teaching contexts. The study concludes by emphasizing the necessity of preparing pre-service teachers not only in pedagogical skills but also in cultural awareness and adaptability prior to participation in international practicum programs.

Abstract

Education is one of the necessities for cultivating people and the country. It cannot be separated from human life since it is considered as a life-long learning process without limitation. Students have different reasons, factors, and motivations to study a Master’s Degree. This study aimed at investigating motivational factors that impact Indonesian students to undertake a Master’s Degree in English Education. Mixed methods research design was employed to identify and understand the specific information focusing on students’ motivation. The data were collected through questionnaires and in-depth interviews. Graduate students studying in the first semester of the English Education Master’s Program at Sanata Dharma University, Yogyakarta, participated in this study. The obtained data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and displayed in the mean score and the level of motivation. The findings indicated that, in general, students were intrinsically motivated in embarking on their Master’s Degree (m=3.99), with a high level of intrinsic motivation. The data from the interviews revealed that at least three motivational factors were influencing students in pursuing a Master’s Degree, namely personal, environmental, and profession-oriented factors. This study provides suggestions for future research.
