Abstract

This study investigates lecturers' perceptions of metacognitive scaffolding in writing instruction at Universitas Halu Oleo. Utilizing a qualitative exploratory case study design, data were collected through interviews with three lecturers from the Faculty of Teacher Training and Education. Thematic analysis revealed that while lecturers acknowledge the benefits of metacognitive scaffolding for developing independent writers, they encounter obstacles such as large class sizes, time constraints, and varied student engagement. The study aimed to provide insights for improving writing instruction practices and policy development. Lecturers discovered that metacognitive scaffolding is essential for helping students develop writing performances and engagement. The study’s findings align with literature emphasizing the importance of metacognitive strategies and structured feedback in writing instruction. The integration of technology and the positive impact of lecturers' personalities further support the effectiveness of metacognitive scaffolding in enhancing students' writing performance and engagement. Lecturers perceive the implementation of metacognitive scaffolding in writing courses as crucial for improving students' writing performance and fostering independent, reflective learning, although they acknowledge challenges such as students' difficulties with coherence and vocabulary and the distractions of technology.

Abstract

This research presents an investigation of how the application of the digital substitution, augmentation, modification, redefinition (SAMR)-based scaffolding might be used to support first-semester basic writing students in overcoming challenges related to grammar proficiency and descriptive writing. A mixed-methods sequential explanatory design was used with 40 students enrolled in English language courses. Quantitative data were obtained through a 14-item Likert-type questionnaire measuring SAMR integration and challenges faced, while qualitative analysis was conducted on semi-structured interview data using NVivo to code thematically. The scores for all implementation indicators indicate that high average values were obtained (global M=3.37), indicating that SAMR-based activities and scaffolding were viewed as useful and engaging for supporting descriptive writing. The level of challenges was perceived as low to moderate (mean=2.59 overall). The key issues were that lecturers needed to offer more consistent support, access to devices was restricted, and students had uneven digital skills. Thematic results identified growth in grammatical consciousness, development of short texts, and creativity as projects that resulted in multimodal outcomes and student involvement. The research also underscores the importance of strong institutional structures and continued support for teaching. It concludes that employing SAMR-informed digital scaffolding is a strategy with the potential to support writing instruction through technology.
