Abstract

The purpose of this research was to find out types of learning strategies applied by students of English education study program at Hamzanwadi University. The subjects of research taken were 75 students of the first semester who took basic English grammar course. Descriptive quantitative was used to obtain and analyze data. The research result showed that the most dominant learning strategy in studying grammar was metacognitive (20, 93%), followed by cognitive (18, 49%), social (17, 83%), affective (16, 48%), memory (15, 97%) and the least applied by the students was compensation (10, 25%). Furthermore, the reason why the students tend to apply metacognitive strategy in learning grammar because it enables them to pay attention on a particular grammar pattern, try to understand and relate it to the previous materials which have been familiar to the students’ minds. Thus, it is implied to the teachers to understand the types of learning strategies then guide the students during their study for a better learning outcome.

Abstract

This research aims to investigate the correlation between students' reticence, motivation, and their speaking habits which effected their speaking skills. The method used is a quantitative approach with a correlational design. The population was the eleventh-grade students of MA NW Montong Kubur comprising one class with a total of 35 students. The researcher used the total sampling method, in which all eleventh-grade students became respondents. Data collection was done through questionnaire and speaking test. The results showed that the correlation coefficient between students' speaking anxiety and their speaking achievement was r=0.312. Although these two variables have a negative correlation, the value of r=0.312 can still be classified as a significant correlation. Furthermore, the correlation coefficient between students' motivation and their speaking habits was found to be r=0.032. This means that there is a positive relationship between these variables, but the value of r=0.032 indicates a low correlation. Finally, the results showed that the correlation coefficient between students' speaking reticence, motivation, and speaking habits was r=0.105 which means that these three variables have a positive correlation, although the value of 0.105 indicates a very low level of correlation.

Abstract

The concept of Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) has gained significant attention in the field of education due to the widespread adoption of innovative technologies, particularly accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic and the surge in online teaching. To effectively measure TPACK, the utilization of a well-designed and tailored questionnaire has emerged as a sophisticated approach. The aim of this research is to develop a questionnaire that is valid and reliable specifically for the context of online learning. In order to ensure the validity of the questionnaire, expert validation was conducted with three professionals from diverse backgrounds, including an Indonesian professor, a Ph.D. student, and a local education supervisor. By incorporating their recommendations, the questionnaire underwent revisions and refinements. Subsequently, the validity of the questionnaire was assessed by administering it to 43 participants across four Indonesian provinces: West Java, East Java, East Boneo, and West Nusa Tenggara. The findings indicated that the questionnaire demonstrated strong validity and reliability, making it a valuable tool for evaluating teachers' TPACK in online teaching environments. Statistical analysis using the SPSS 23.0 software confirmed the validity and reliability of all 24 questionnaire items, further endorsing its readiness for future research endeavors. Additionally, this questionnaire can be tailored to meet the unique requirements of teachers across different education programs, thereby enhancing its applicability and versatility. In conclusion, this study contributes to the field of online teaching by providing a robust instrument for assessing teachers' TPACK, facilitating targeted interventions and improvements in instructional practices.
