Abstract

The assessment of students’ skills of ESL has become a fundamental aspect of teaching and learning language at schools level. It can be seen as the process of collecting the information about students to help language teachers in decision making about students’ progress and language development. In ESL instructional context, assessment practice essentially focuses on the process of making efforts and contributions for students to improve language learning outcomes. To achieve this goal, it is expected that language teachers should have literacy in assessment concepts, knowledge or skills and strategies to assist students to achieve the higher level of language learning performance and achievement. This is also an essential aspect of developing students’ language competences in relation to acquire and learn English as a second language that involves the way language teachers evaluate students’ performance in learning ESL and  language aspects that needed to be assessed. Hence, ESL assessment practice should be implemented as a continous evaluation in assisting language teacher to provide students with a better understanding on language learning.

Abstract

Pandemi covid-19 telah mengubah proses pembelajaran baik pada sisi belajar siswa ataupun sisi mengajar guru. Hal ini dikarenakan mayoritas belajar dilakukan dengan moda online atau dalam jaringan (daring). Siswa dituntut agar lebih bertanggung jawab pada proses belajarnya karena ketiadaan guru disamping mereka walau mereka tetap diberi penjelasan dan tugas secara daring agar tetap termonitor proses belajarnya. Guru dituntut agar menguasai pendekatan pembelajaran yang sesuai dengan perubahan yang terjadi, satu diantaranya adalah pendekatan pembelajaran self-directed learning. Berdasarkan hal tersebut, kegiatan Pengabdian Kepada Masyarakat (PPM) FKIP Universitas Jambi telah dilaksanakan dengan tujuan untuk memberi pelatihan dan pemahaman mengenai pendekatan belajar Self-Directed Learning (SDL) kepada guru SMPN 1 Merangin. Dengan teknik penjelasan, pemberian contoh dan modelling, dan diakhiri dengan sesi tanya jawab, kegiatan pelatihan ini telah terlaksana dengan baik. Tindak lanjut dan refleksi dari peserta juga telah didapatkan melalui angket yang disebar melalui google form. Secara umum guru-guru peserta pelatihan telah mengerti konsep dasar dan karakteristik SDL. Dengan pemahaman tersebut mereka diharapkan bisa memaksimalkan potensi penerapan SDL dalam kegiatan belajar mengajar nantinya.

Abstract

Kemandirian belajar merupakan salah satu faktor penentu keberhasilan belajar karena karakter pelajar mandiri yang mencakup inisiatif, tanggung jawab, pemecahan masalah, percaya diri, dan kontrol diri, berperan penting dalam proses pencapaian keberhasilan tersebut. Namun, berdasarkan hasil identifikasi masalah, guru mengatakan siswa Madrasah Tsanawiyah Muhammadiyah Kota Jambi masih memiliki motivasi belajar yang belum tinggi karena latar siswa yang berasal dari keluarga ekonomi menengah ke bawah dan juga berasal dari anak-anak panti asuhan, dimana hal ini berdampak pada realisasi kemandirian belajar mereka. Maka, tujuan kegiatan Pengabdian kepada Masyarakat (PkM) ini adalah untuk meningkatkan kesadaran siswa akan pentingnya kemandirian belajar. Tahapan pelaksanaan pengabdian adalah pemberian pelatihan dalam bentuk ceramah, mengerjakan studi kasus, pemberian umpan balik, dan diakhiri dengan melakukan refleksi pembelajaran. Pada sesi ceramah dan diskusi, siswa diberikan materi mengenai mandiri belajar sebagai upaya untuk menguasai keterampilan ini, diikuti dengan analisis studi kasus tentang kemandirian belajar oleh siswa. Kemudian, dilakukan pemberian umpan balik terhadap pengerjaan studi kasus tersebut dan juga siswa melakukan refleksi terhadap proses belajar mereka selama ini. Dari rangkaian aktifitas ini, siswa berhasil mengerjakan studi kasus mengenai kemandirian belajar dan melakukan refleksi diri terhadap praktek belajar mereka. Diharapkan aktifitas belajar di kelas terus mengintegrasikan kompetensi sikap beserta penilaian yang sesuai agar siswa dapat terlatih secara terus menerus untuk menguasai sikap-sikap belajar yang koheren dan mendukung proses belajar mereka.

Abstract

Feedback plays a crucial role in achieving learning objectives. This study explores students’ experience and preferences in feedback provision and its implications on reading and writing instruction. This study applied a qualitative research design with a case study method. The participants were ten fifth-semester students of the 2023/2024 academic year of the English education study program at a public university in Jambi, Indonesia. A focus group discussion with the students was used to explore their experiences and preferences, supported by the data from the learning management system (LMS) of the university. Furthermore, the data were analysed using thematic analysis. The findings revealed that feedback was provided by lecturers and peers, both in online and offline modes. The peers provided more informal feedback, and lecturers provided more detailed and natural feedback on the students’ reading and writing exercises. While students appreciated peer feedback, they also felt uncertain when they received feedback from peers. In addition, the students preferred face-to-face direct constructive feedback, which can help them increase self-awareness and understand more details. However, being loaded with other teaching tasks and academic activities on campus, lecturers could not fully meet this particular preference.  Thus, as the pedagogical implication, multimodal feedback which is personalized to enable students to feed forward in their own individual learning journeys should be used.
