This study is aimed at exploring the experiences of teachers of two schools with different qualification by answering the following questions: (1) How are the programs of collaborative professional learning enacted to enhance the teachers’ teaching strategy and digital literacy?, (2) How do the teachers’ experiences in their collaborative professional learning impact on their policy of professional learning? This study is a qualitative case study. In order to answer its questions, this study involved 8 language teachers –Arabic, English, Indonesian, and Javanese language- from 2 schools. Teachers from a reputable school were paired up with those from an undistinguished school to engage in a collaborative professional learning program focusing on teaching strategy and digital literacy. Data analysis involved content analysis convention of Krippendorff (2013). The program is a need-based program, which is put in different social context and built to make each participant familiar, collaborate to learn, to practice, and to implement. Putting the program into different social context facilitates participants to learn through attention, retention, reproduction, which then influences their policy of professional learning.

Findings: The result indicates 1) VHS English teachers have  a very high perception of the importance of teaching HOTS for their students; 2) a high perception of the complexity of applying HOTS resulted from the students’ unreadiness and teachers’ lack of competence in integrating HOT in English class. Conclusion: A very positive perception of the importance of teaching HOTS among VHS teachers. It is in constrast with the high perception of the complexity of applying HOTS. Training HOTS is needed for planning, implementing and assessing HOTS. Keywords: complexity, HOTS, importance, teachers’ perception, vocational high school.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.23960/jpp.v12.i1.202220

Abstract

Activity-Based Presentation (ABP) is known for engaging students through experiential tasks. However, its implementation in higher education requires further exploration. This study aims to explain the implementation of ABP and to describe the presenters’ presentation skills. Twenty-six pre-service teachers who attended the English Across Curriculum class became the subjects of this study.  Based on participants’ presentations, the researchers explained the implementation of ABP and described their presentation skills. Data on ABP implementation were analyzed using three stages of the interactive model of analysis: data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing. Meanwhile, data on the pre-service teachers’ presentation skills were analyzed to determine the mean for each skill. This study shows that participants manage classroom presentations using methods such as ICARE, KWL Chart, Jigsaw, Text-Based Learning, Gallery Walk, Problem-Based Learning, expository, and demonstration. They have relatively good presentation skills, which support the achievement of presentation objectives. The achievement is proven by the audience's good weekly scores. This research exemplifies the enactment of integrated learning, primarily intended to equip pre-service teachers with content knowledge and presentation skills simultaneously. However, further development is needed to make this approach reach a more meaningful and impactful presentation. More studies on ABP also still need to be carried out to enhance its effectiveness.
