Abstract

Research and studies on teachers’ reflective practice have increased over the decades. However, the factors contributing to the low levels and application of reflective practice among Indonesian novice EFL teachers have been very little explored. This study aims to explore the hindrances faced by novice EFL teachers to their practice of reflective teaching. This qualitative study used a survey method and an online questionnaire adopted and developed from the IETRTQ or Inhibitors to EFL Teachers’ Reflective Teaching Questionnaire as the research instrument. The questionnaire was then administered to 30 Indonesian novice EFL teachers as the samples of this study. After collecting the data, simple descriptive statistics such as mean and frequency analysis were employed to provide a more qualitative analysis regarding the result. The findings of this study show that the lack of novice EFL teachers’ reflective practices is due to some hindrances to their practice. The hindrances include a lack of knowledge factors, emotional and affective factors, and institutional factors. Further, it is expected that novice teachers, EFL study programs, EFL policy makers and trainers, teaching institutions, and future researchers can work cooperatively to contribute to the implementation of reflective practice of teaching.

Abstract

Although many studies focus on enhancing resource assistance and the advancement of adult learners' knowledge and abilities, there is a paucity of studies on the theoretical views that define strategies for assisting adults in learning independently. To fill this gap, this study draws on previous research to elaborate on why metacognitive strategies are suitable for adults’ self-regulated learning (SRL), and how metacognitive strategies promote SRL. As this study employed a systematic review, a rigorous search scheme was implemented across multiple databases, resulting in the selection of relevant studies based on predetermined inclusion and exclusion criteria. The selected articles were assessed for quality, and data extraction was performed to identify key characteristics of the studies. The synthesis of the existing literature underscores the suitability of metacognitive strategies in EFL adult learners' self-regulated learning. The findings reveal that incorporating metacognitive strategies helps cultivate SRL in EFL adult learners, owing to their cognitive maturity, pre-existing knowledge, and life experiences. In addition, the metacognitive strategy helps EFL adult learners enhance their awareness of cognitive processes, regulate learning behaviours, and optimize language learning outcomes. Regarding the role, metacognitive strategy is one of the key components of SRL. Some practical recommendations are made to support teachers in facilitating adults’ self-regulated language learning.
