Quantitative and qualitative analyses revealed that the existing English instructional materials had not been developed properly, confirming the need to create new English instructional materials aligned with the principles of an integrated communicative approach. The findings also indicated that experts, students, and lecturers found the newly developed instructional materials valid, practical, and effective in enhancing student achievement in learning English.

Abstract

Peer learning has been widely recognized as an effective strategy in inclusive education, promoting student collaboration, enhancing academic outcomes, and addressing diverse learning needs. However, a significant gap remains in understanding how peer learning is implemented across different institutional and national contexts, especially in inclusive settings. While prior studies have addressed peer learning in general, few have compared its practical application across countries with distinct educational systems. This study investigates how peer learning is enacted in inclusive classrooms in Thailand and Indonesia, focusing on teachers’ beliefs, instructional strategies, and challenges encountered during implementation. Employing a qualitative research design, data were gathered through interviews and classroom observations to explore authentic classroom practices. The findings reveal both shared patterns and contextual differences in the use of peer learning, shaped by each country’s institutional structures and education policies. While initial student collaboration varied, many learners demonstrated increased participation and interaction over time. This study addresses the lack of cross-national research on inclusive peer learning and offers insights that may support educators, researchers, and policymakers in designing more responsive and culturally informed frameworks for peer learning in diverse, inclusive classrooms.

Abstract

The aim of this study is to explore how EFL pre-service teachers conceptualize and perceive creativity. A total of 226 pre-service teachers enrolled at a state university, Universitas Islam Negeri Mataram, participated in a survey, and six of them voluntarily took part in a follow-up focus group interview. Their conceptions of creativity were investigated using open-ended questions and interviews. In addition, their perceived creativity was assessed through a self-report scale adapted from the Creativity Styles Questionnaire–Revised (CSQ-R). The findings indicate that their conceptions are partially aligned with prevailing theories of creativity, encompassing creative outcomes, individual traits, and creative processes. Furthermore, the majority of participants identified themselves as medio-creative. Creative individuals reported greater use of techniques, heightened sensory awareness, control over environmental and behavioral factors, and stronger beliefs in unconscious processes. The study also discusses implications for pre-service teacher education.
