Abstract

Integration of technology has penetrated into various fields, including education. With its constant development, technology is always evolving, offering a wide range of applications and sophistication. Accessible to everyone, including teachers, technology raises the question of its acceptance in learning. The goal of this study was to investigate the acceptance of technology in English learning, specifically focusing on the use of Schoology as a platform. Furthermore, it aimed to identify the challenges encountered when integrating it into English learning. The study involved twenty teachers who used Schoology as a supporting medium in the learning process and was conducted through polls and questionnaires. Through this study, the authors aimed to enhance English learning by exploring how technology, specifically Schoology, could be integrated into it. The results provided valuable insights into the acceptance of Schoology among teachers and the challenges faced when integrating it into English learning.

Abstract

This article delves into the role of YouTube in education, with a particular focus on its potential to enrich self-directed learning, especially in the realm of listening skills. A thorough examination of 30 scholarly journals was carried out to evaluate the endorsement of YouTube as a tool for enhancing self-directed learning. Data analysis encompassed the creation of a matrix to discern the impact, types, and purposes of YouTube in educational settings. The findings underscore YouTube as a highly valuable resource for fostering self-directed learning, owing to its adaptability and ease of access. Trends were identified across publication years, research methodologies, participant demographics, study objectives, and YouTube's role in promoting self-regulated learning. Nevertheless, this study also sheds light on the limitations in the application of YouTube in specific educational contexts, influenced by subject matter and varying educational levels. In summary, YouTube exhibits substantial promise in education, but its effectiveness hinges on thoughtful implementation strategies tailored to address the unique needs of both students and teachers.

Abstract

Objective: This study investigates the effectiveness of synchronous and asynchronous learning modalities and examines the mediating role of reflection on learning outcomes in fully online Indonesian higher education. Methods: Using a mixed-methods case study approach, data were collected through questionnaires (28 statements) and semi-structured interviews from 20 third-year students at a university in Cirebon, Indonesia. Participants were purposively selected based on completion of technology literacy courses and one semester of experience with both learning modalities. Qualitative data from one lecturer supplemented student perspectives. Data analysis followed the Miles, Huberman, and Saldana model. Results: Asynchronous learning demonstrated high effectiveness in fostering critical thinking (77%), self-paced learning (85%), and draft revision opportunities (88%). Synchronous learning showed strong preference for immediate feedback (71%) but faced significant technical challenges, with 90% reporting audio problems and 65% experiencing delayed engagement. High neutrality in perceived skill improvement indicated uncertainty about comparative effectiveness. Interviews revealed 60% preferred synchronous learning despite technical obstacles, while 40% preferred asynchronous learning for flexibility. Novelty: This study introduces a dual reflection pathway framework explaining how learning modalities activate distinct cognitive processes. Asynchronous learning operates through deliberate reflection via a three-stage mechanism (generalization, monitoring, refinement) with documented iterative cycles, while synchronous learning facilitates spontaneous reflection through immediate social presence. This framework advances theoretical understanding of reflection's mediating role in online learning effectiveness within the Indonesian context.

Abstract

Based on recent developments, artificial intelligence (AI) has transformed the way second language writing is taught. ChatGPT, as a current AI tool, is seen as a potential writing assistant for students. This study explores how university students evaluate ChatGPT when writing academic papers. Employing a qualitative case study, data were collected from six female undergraduate English language education students enrolled in an academic writing course at a private university in West Java, Indonesia, through interviews, reflective diaries, and classroom observations. The findings show a shift in students’ perceptions, from initial doubts to recognizing practical benefits. Many students initially struggled to begin writing due to difficulties generating ideas or forming sentences. After being introduced to ChatGPT, they used it to draft opening paragraphs, check grammar, and explore concepts. Students reported improved ability in structuring thoughts and overcoming writer’s block, leading to more coherent writing. However, some expressed concern about overreliance, fearing it might hinder critical thinking and creativity. The study concludes that while ChatGPT offers substantial support, it should be used as a complementary tool. Educators are encouraged to guide students in leveraging AI to enhance rather than replace their writing skills.
