Abstract

Incorporating critical thinking and English as a medium of instruction for elementary school studentsThis case study aims to find out how teachers of the International Class Program at an elementary school in Malang incorporated critical thinking (CT) pedagogy in teaching subjects with English as a Medium of Instruction. Eighteen teachers filled in an online questionnaire, and two of them were interviewed. Analysis of one pre-recorded video for English class (lasted for 13 minutes) and one video of Math class delivered through Zoom meeting (lasted for 29 minutes) was done to investigate how teachers triggered students’ thinking in the classroom practice. Also, an analysis of three lesson plans was done to dig further information about teachers’ teaching practices. The findings indicated that the teachers have practical knowledge of CT pedagogy from reading and workshops that were not necessarily focused on CT. Textbooks were mainly used to guide the teachers’ teaching, supported by audio-visual media. Questions primarily were used to trigger students’ higher-order thinking by connecting the texts with the students’ experiences in real life. Despite the implicit policy of CT, the teachers have implemented CT strategies in the International Class Program. Overall, the teachers have played as more knowledgeable others that facilitated the students’ learning to think critically. However, they were not confident whether the teaching material they were developed supported CT pedagogy implementation. Thus, the study findings revealed their need for supervisors to evaluate the content of teaching material and practical guidance to conduct thinking routines for the young learners in the subjects with English as a medium of instruction.Keywords: pedagogy, critical thinking, elementary school, case study, IndonesiaMenggabungkan berpikir kritis dan bahasa Inggris sebagai bahasa pengantar pembelajaran bagi siswa sekolah dasarStudi kasus ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui bagaimana guru Program Kelas Internasional di sebuah sekolah dasar di Malang memasukkan pedagogi berpikir kritis dalam mengajar mata pelajaran dengan bahasa Inggris sebagai bahasa pengantar pembelajaran. Delapan belas guru mengisi kuesioner online dan dua dari mereka diwawancarai. Analisis satu video yang dipersiapkan guru untuk kelas bahasa Inggris (durasi 13 menit) dan satu video kelas Matematika yang disampaikan melalui Zoom meeting (durasi 29 menit) dilakukan untuk memeriksa bagaimana guru memicu pemikiran siswa di kelas. Analisis ketiga RPP juga dilakukan untuk menggali informasi lebih lanjut tentang praktik mengajar guru. Temuan menunjukkan bahwa guru memiliki pengetahuan praktis tentang pedagogi berpikir kritis yang dipelajari dari membaca dan lokakarya yang belum tentu terfokus pada berpikir kritis. Buku teks lebih banyak digunakan untuk memandu pengajaran guru, didukung dengan penggunaan media audio visual. Pertanyaan banyak digunakan sebagai strategi untuk memicu berpikir tingkat tinggi siswa dengan menghubungkan teks dengan pengalaman siswa dalam kehidupan nyata. Meskipun kebijakan berpikir kritis tersirat, guru telah menerapkan strategi berpikir kritis dalam Program Kelas Internasional. Temuan lain menunjukkan bahwa pola asuh di rumah dan pengalaman siswa tinggal di luar negeri berkontribusi pada keterampilan dan disposisi berpikir kritis siswa. Secara keseluruhan, guru telah berperan sebagai orang lain yang lebih berpengetahuan yang memfasilitasi pembelajaran siswa untuk berpikir kritis. Namun, mereka tidak yakin apakah bahan ajar yang dikembangkan mendukung penerapan pedagogi berpikir kritis. Dengan demikian, temuan mengungkapkan kebutuhan mereka akan pengawas untuk mengevaluasi isi bahan ajar dan bimbingan praktis untuk melakukan rutinitas berpikir untuk pelajar muda dalam mengajar mata pelajaran dengan bahasa Inggris sebagai bahasa pengantar.Kata kunci: pedagogi, berpikir kritis, sekolah dasar, studi kasus, Indonesia

This study brings significance to teaching practice to inform how far ICT usage contributes to autonomous learning, especially in the Covid-19 outbreak. The researcher recommended that future researchers widen the participants’ total and use the other variables outside this study’s variables since ICT usage only contributes 22.1% to autonomous learning.

Abstract

reading in the English language context has widely taken a position in the educational field, the reading score among aviation cadets was far from expectation. Several empirical studies have underpinned metacognitive reading strategies as supporting components in determining the reading performance of EFL learners, yet an investigation within the scope of cadets of the aviation field remains limited in the Indonesian context. This study explored cadets’ awareness level of metacognitive reading strategies and how they demonstrate awareness toward the use of those strategies in the English language context. An explanatory design was utilized, with 30 aviation cadets involved. The data was obtained from self-inventory reports and open-ended questions. The result confirmed that aviation cadets are metacognitively aware of the three elements of reading strategies with medium level of awareness. Moreover, cadets with high scores reading tests encompass more support reading strategies and problem-solving strategies compared to lower scorers. While cadets who got average scorers utilize three parts metacognitive reading strategies. These results confirmed that cadets who can maintain their cognition and proceed with various strategies in reading activities, will perform better in reading within the English language context.

Abstract

Critical thinking is essential to be acquired by today's generation specifically since it is one of the skills in the 21st-century skills. Considering its importance, developing students' high-order thinking skills has become a requirement for teachers, specifically in their language learning. This study investigates an EFL teacher's strategies in promoting students' high-order thinking skills and the challenges they face in implementing it. A case study was conducted involving one junior high school teacher in Jember. The interview and classroom observation were conducted to collect the data. The data was analyzed by classifying the strategy used by the teacher using Hennessy et al.'s Scheme for Educational Dialogue Analysis and specifying the challenges faced by them through an interview. The findings of this study indicated that most strategies used by the teacher were to invite elaboration or reasoning. The challenge encountered by the teacher was the difficulties in teaching HOTS for low achiever students, difficulties in managing passive students in the classroom, and difficulties in constructing HOTS strategy in some skills in English. Therefore, more strategies to actively engage student participation in the classroom and good classroom management are needed to extend students’ high-order thinking skills.
