Abstract

As out-of-field teachers existence led to change in teachers, this research aimed to explore their commitment to learning and teaching, and how their schools supported them. Five Indonesian teachers who started teaching as out-of-field teachers and their school leaders were interviewed for this research. The qualitative case study was employed to explore the problem through interviews, classroom observations, and document analysis. The findings reveal that the initial commitment to teaching, learning, and growing is an investment for further actions throughout the teaching practice. The schools provide necessary assistance through the induction and during their in-service in the provided and requested professional learning, being trusted and acknowledged by school leaders, and having resourceful colleagues. From their schools’ support, the out-of-field teachers become more knowledgeable and remain as teachers for an extended time.

Abstract

The research aimed to identify senior lecturers’ experiences with online teaching during ERT (Emergency Remote Teaching). The ominous Covid-19 forced tertiary education institutions in Indonesia to employ ERT, both synchronous and asynchronous online teaching, from March 2020. Not all existing lecturers were professionally ready for this change, specifically senior lecturers who had been teaching for more than 25 years. These senior lecturers entered into unfamiliar territory as they had been experiencing the drastic transition to ERT. This transition could be viewed as a learning process as they went through certain learning mechanisms. The qualitative method was used to examine the learning mechanisms of senior lecturers who have been teaching during this ERT. This method was appropriate, as it allowed an understanding of lecturers’ experience in their professional growth. This case study examined five senior lecturers who have been teaching English as a Foreign Language at the university level for more than 25 years. Data analysis followed the procedures developed by Braun and Clarke. The research finds that each lecturer experiences learning mechanisms, including identification, coordination, reflection, and transformation. During the identification, they learn to understand the needs to adapt, adopt, and change. They also experience different kinds of unfamiliar events that have to be faced. They adapt to the unfamiliar situation during the phase of coordination through reading, joining webinars (web seminars), and mentoring during the coordination. Each of them reflects on the process of shifting boundaries of their competencies or knowledge from previously teaching offline to online. The last learning mechanism is the transformation that leads to profound changes after experiencing disruptions in the current workflow. Those multiple disruptions shape them in facing ERT.

Abstract

The research aimed to show the workplace as a substantial site of learning because it allowed learning opportunities that resulted from the nature of work and social interaction with workgroups. Learning in the workplace resulted from the demand for the upskilling of employees. Although workplace learning was often considered an informal type of learning, it allowed the employees to fill the gaps between their education and their current practice through coaching and mentoring. Workplace learning happened in schools, particularly schools that hired out-of-field teachers who did not have a teaching qualification. The qualitative single case study involving teachers with more than ten years of experience teaching junior high school science in Indonesia aimed to understand better how teachers who began teaching as out-of-field teachers learned from their experiences in the workplace. In-depth interviews were employed to gain insight into their learning processes. The findings show that schools can be a conducive environment for teachers to gradually acquire skills that are increasingly central to practice through learning from professionals (both provided and requested) and colleagues (including expert teachers). As out-of-field novices lack specific knowledge of teaching this content to students in context, workplace learning enables them to change gradually.
