Abstract

 Teaching practicum is believed to be a program crucial for pre-service teachers to gain their teacher professional identity (TPI). The pre-service teachers (PST) who are able to fit the context and be reflective to cope with challenges in the program are believed to have the sense of TPI. Hence, a PST o pre-service teachers is expected to have deeper focus of reflection after experiencing teaching practicum. One of the tools to identify the TPI among PSTs is Onion Model, the model containing the five phases of structured reflection. Even though there are a large number of researches that examine the reflection of teaching practicum through the eyes of PSTs using a number of different tools, few are concerned with the focus of PST’s reflection to determine their TPI. This research employed case study and Onion Model as the tool of analysis, the study scrutinized the TPI among six PSTs who possess different intentions in joining the teacher college. The finding showed that, as a training session, teaching practicum is able to sharpen the TPI among PSTs. However, it cannot change those with multiple identities and fixed personalities who may think that conflicts in identities can lead to diminished well-being.Keywords: pre-service teacher; teacher professional identity; teaching practicum.

Abstract

This study employed classroom action research and was conducted in two cycles. The main data were students’ written texts taken from the first cycle and the second cycle, and the teacher’s field notes. The texts were analyzed by examining the schematic structure and the linguistic features of an analytical exposition text. To measure students’ critical thinking, the texts were examined using the Critical Thinking Value Rubric developed by the Association of American Colleges and Universities (AACU). The findings showed that there are positive implications for the application of high-level questioning in students’ critical thinking skills. Furthermore, in comparison between the data gained in the first cycle and the second cycle, it shows that after the implementation of high-level questioning there are some improvements in all aspects of the critical thinking criteria such as issue, evidence, the influence of context, and conclusion based on the value rubric. Although there are some improvements, in terms of delivering the issue, and showing evidence, the students still have difficulties in explaining and elaborating their ideas clearly.Keywords: analytical exposition text; critical thinking; high-level questioning.

Abstract

Abstract: Intensive listening has gained significant attention in enhancing listening skills among students. While its benefits have been well documented in primary and secondary education, there is a notable gap in research regarding its implementation among university students. This study aims to address the gap by investigating the implementation of intensive listening at a higher education level, particularly exploring the students’ perceptions towards its implementation. By using a qualitative case study design, this study involved first-year students from English language education at one public university in Bandung, Indonesia. Data were collected using open-ended questionnaires, interviews, and classroom observation and analyzed thematically using NVivo software. Findings revealed that the students reported their positive perceptions regarding the implementation of intensive listening in the classroom which enhanced their listening skills, vocabulary, and pronunciation. Nevertheless, they encountered challenges with unfamiliar vocabulary, accent, and rate of speech. Several strategies to cope with the challenges were implemented, and it suggests the critical role of the lecturer in supporting the success of the implementation of intensive listening in the classroom.Keywords: Intensive listening; listening comprehension; listening strategies; university students.
