Abstract

This explanatory quantitative study aimed to identify the correlation between the students’ Micro Teaching and Field Pre-Service Teaching courses. The population of the study was the students of the English Education Department of the Faculty of Education and Teacher Training Universitas Islam Negeri (UIN) Ar-Raniry, Banda Aceh, Aceh, Indonesia who had taken the micro-teaching class and had conducted field pre-service teaching, a total of 141 students. Then, 43 students were selected as the sample of this study. Data came from these students’ scores in Micro Teaching class and Field Pre-Service Teaching. The data were analyzed by using Pearson Product Moment with the SPSS 16.0. The findings indicated that there was no significant correlation between micro-teaching and field pre-service teaching (p-value = .196; p>.05). In addition, the strength level of the Pearson correlation coefficient between the two variables was negative and weak (r = -0.201). It can be interpreted that the students’ teaching ability was not dependent upon their micro-teaching scores.

Abstract

A curriculum is a set of guidelines used to attain an educational goal, and it has at least four key elements: objective, material, method, and evaluation. The purpose of this descriptive study is to describe several curriculum approaches that are commonly employed in teaching and learning activities. Furthermore, this study discusses curriculum changes, the reasons that influence such changes, and the obstacles that each curriculum change presents. The study first elaborates on the disciplinary curriculum approach, emphasizing the idea of exploring a certain subject of science through single-focused lenses without integrating it into other connected sciences. Following an examination of the disciplinary curriculum approach, the study gives considerable information on multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary curriculum approaches that have the potential to improve students' critical thinking skills. This study concludes by delving into curriculum change as well as its motivating factors and challenges.

Abstract

The successful implementation of a method appliance can be attributed to the method itself. The matter of synchronous virtual classrooms is influenced by several factors. The adoption of synchronous virtual classrooms by faculty members provides a valuable experience for both students and lecturers. This study aims to identify the triggering factors that motivated faculty members to adopt synchronous virtual classrooms. Additionally, it seeks to examine the challenges faced by students and lecturers in implementing this method. The researchers utilized interviews and literature sources as instruments for data collection. A total of five lecturers were selected as respondents for this research. The criterion for selection was their implementation of this method in their department's courses and their experience with synchronous virtual classrooms. The collected data was thematically analyzed. The results revealed that the main triggering factor for adoption was the Covid-19 pandemic. The challenges faced by students and lecturers were not limited to technological and internet issues but also included a lack of preparation from the faculty. Based on the data analysis and interviews, future research could explore the potential of combining methods to create a more effective approach in different situational conditions.

Abstract

Reading is a vital language skill that necessitates mastery for knowledge acquisition. However, the focus of students has shifted away from reading due to technological advancements. Despite this, the literacy levels of students in Indonesia are alarmingly low, ranking 74 out of 79 in the PISA Survey 2018. This study aimed to explore the integration of technology in educational settings. Specifically, by implementing a technology-based flipped classroom model, the researcher aimed to encourage and educate junior high school students on the constructive use of smartphones. The primary objective was to investigate whether the adoption of flipped classrooms, combined with technology utilization, could potentially enhance students' reading proficiency. To achieve this goal, an experimental research design was employed, comprising both an experimental group and a control group. Pre-tests and post-tests were conducted for both groups, with the experimental group receiving the flipped classroom intervention, while the control group experienced traditional classroom methods. The findings indicated that the experimental group exhibited superior performance compared to the control group.
