Abstract

As the situation of the Covid-19 pandemic in Indonesia is gradually recovering, schools may reopen for limited face-to-face learning under particular measures during this transition period to the post-pandemic. This study aims to describe the implementation of blended learning and student motivation in secondary schools in limited face-to-face classes. This qualitative study collected the data through observation and questionnaires, involving two classes of junior high school students (N=70) of one urban public school in Sidoarjo, East Java, where blended learning was mandatory during the transition period. The results show a clear difference between the two modes; students who participated during the in-person learning session are more enthusiastic, engaged, and active during teaching and learning activities, while students who studied at home seemed quieter and less motivated to learn during the blended learning session. Students further considered blended learning as a way to increase their learning motivation. They were more interested in the subject and had an easier way to find material online. Furthermore, various types of activities such as group and pair work, collaborative learning, and individual learning can be used to increase students’ engagement and interests during communicative language practice. The extrinsic and intrinsic factors of students as learning drivers should be considered by the teacher before applying certain learning methods and learning approaches, especially for English learning after the pandemic.

Abstract

This research explores the implementation of the brain-writing strategy as an instructional approach to address the writing challenges encountered by students of secondary school level. Writing difficulties often arise due to incomplete involvement in the different stages of the writing process, especially a pre-writing stage. The aim of this study is to overcome the issues by utilizing the brain-writing strategy on the teaching of hortatory writing, while evaluating its impact on both student performance and perception. A triangulation mixed method was employed as the research design, integrating multiple data collection techniques from an observation, tests, and a classroom survey on perception. The study took place in a public high school, with a purposive sampling technique utilized to select 36 eleventh-grade students as participants. This sampling method ensured the deliberate selection of participants based on specific criteria pertinent to the research objectives. The findings that was collected from some observations illuminated the implementation of brain-writing strategy as an instructional strategy to enhance students’ writing skills, especially in the content and structure. Through the analysis of data collected via various methods, the researchers gained insights into the improvements in students’ performance and their perceptions of the strategy. This research contributes to the existing knowledge on effective writing instruction and offers valuable information for educators seeking innovative strategies to enhance students’ hortatory writing abilities. Ultimately, the findings aim to inform educational practices and assist students in overcoming writing challenges.
