Abstract

This study investigated the use of i-THINK Mapping in teaching reading comprehension by ESL teachers to a group of Form Five students, and the factors and challenges the ESL teachers faced in teaching reading comprehension using i-THINK Mapping. A qualitative approach, specifically a case study design, was employed in this study. Classroom observations, semi-structured interviews, and document analysis of their lesson plans were used to collect the data. Four ESL teachers with a minimum of 5-year teaching experience in a rural secondary school in Hulu Selangor, Malaysia, were selected using a purposive sampling technique to participate in this study. Thematic analysis was used to analyse the data obtained from classroom observations and interviews. The findings show that the teachers had applied five i-THINK maps, including a Circle Map to define in context, a Bubble Map to describe, a Double Bubble Map to compare and contrast, a Flow Map to show the sequence of an event, and a Tree Map to classify different ideas. The i-THINK Mapping motivated the students to discuss, brainstorm, and cooperate with their peers to detect the details from the given reading texts. The teachers’ challenges include the time constraints in preparing the lesson with i-THINK Mapping and a low level of student English proficiency. One implication of this study is that teachers’ use of i-THINK Mapping to teach reading comprehension could assist students in generating ideas, expanding ideas, and expressing them orally.

Abstract

Several teachers in SMP, SMA, and SMK Muhammadiyah in Central Java have not implemented Lesson Study for Teacher Professional Development, especially in SMP Muhammadiyah 1 Cilacap, SMK Muhammadiyah Bumiayu, SMK Muhammadiyah Boja, SMK Muhammadiyah Pekalongan, and SMA Muhammadiyah Wonosobo. The implementation has two objectives, such as to analyze and assess teacher professional development via lesson study in six Muhammadiyah schools. This implementation employed descriptive quantitative and lesson study methodologies to examine the process of implementing lesson study through training models, brainstorming, and group discussions and to measure the improvement of instructors’ viewpoints before and after professional development. The performance results show that teachers actively discussed and collaborated to improve the learning process, from lesson design to open class. The teacher’s perspective questionnaire in their professional development fell into the excellent category, with an average category level above three as the results increased compared to the pre-result before implementation, category level two. All in all, teachers should be more innovative and imaginative to improve their professionalism.

Abstract

There is no clear definition of what constitutes an ideal teacher educator, particularly from the perspective of Malaysian educators. Developing teacher educators’ vision of an ideal teacher ensures that teachers have high levels of professional, personal, and contextual dimensions in teaching practices, including competence in the practice of professional teaching, knowledge, and understanding. Therefore, the objective of this study was to find out the range of visions of what it is to be a good teacher educator in a Malaysian teacher education institution. Seventeen teacher educators from an established university in Malaysia participated in the study. A survey consisting of eight questions was used as the research instrument. The data obtained from the questionnaire were analysed by using descriptive and textual analysis techniques. The findings reveal certain criteria of an ideal teacher such as possessing sound subject matter knowledge, mastery of both generic and content-specific pedagogy, and hands-on teaching skills. The teacher educators shared that they have to adjust their goals to attain their vision, namely the need to adapt to the current policies, new ideas, and the ever-changing educational trends. The findings also show that an ideal teacher is the one who is responsible to nurture and bring about the best learning experience for students. This research has unfolded the teacher educators’ vision of the ideal teacher and pedagogical implications reflected in every facet of their educational practices.

Abstract

The impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on the education system has altered from face-to-face learning to online learning. The sudden pandemic made teachers underprepared either psychologically or pedagogically to teach online learning. Many teachers often faced psychological pressure while preparing for online teaching due to the lack of digital literacy. Teachers now have to overcome pressures for understanding digital literacy. Teachers have issues with: 1) the lack of digital literacy mastery and/or the utilization of digital learning platforms, and 2) the lack of teachers’ ability in creating meaningful learning through the use of digital technology and/or interactive multimedia. By providing the 33 teachers with support and training in digital literacy, those issues could be resolved. The assistance is focused on how to use digital learning platforms and produce android learning and interactive multimedia videos to support the learning process in the classroom. The findings showed that teachers are becoming more knowledgeable about digital literacy, particularly as it relates to the utilization of digital learning platforms and the creation of android learning videos and interactive multimedia learning videos to support the learning process in the classroom. Through the use of digital learning platforms in the classroom, teachers can provide meaningful learning experiences to students and students can actively engage in the learning process. In addition, digital literacy helps teachers increase students’ enthusiasm in the classroom, and students’ autonomous learning.

Abstract

On August 11st, 2022, In the ever-evolving digital era, the utilization of technology for educational purposes is becoming increasingly important. One of the latest innovations is the development of an Android app-based English learning media specifically designed to introduce basic concepts about three types of animals based on their food types. This study evaluates the impact of Articulate Storyline-based interactive learning media on grade 4 students. The results showed that the use of this media provided a number of benefits for students. They did not feel bored during the learning process and were able to distinguish three types of animals based on their food. This media also encourages independent and explorative learning, increases student engagement through interactive features, and helps teachers deliver material more effectively. Therefore, the use of this interactive learning media can be an effective solution to improve the quality of learning at the primary school level This app not only serves as a language learning tool, but also as an educational tool that invites users to understand the differences between herbivores, carnivores and omnivores in an interactive and engaging way. Through interactive features such as exercises and quizzes, users can access this learning material easily on their Android devices, making the learning process more effective and fun.
