Abstract

As a prominent distance education institution, Universitas Terbuka (UT) plays a vital role in enhancing educational equity for Indonesian citizens by offering flexible and cost-effective learning opportunities. However, the exposure of UT, particularly the Faculty of Education and Teacher Training (FKIP), requires further enhancement. The phenomenon that occurs must be addressed by choosing a marketing strategy that targets various groups, particularly millennials. The purpose of this study is to investigate the most compatible marketing strategy for faculty in distance education institutions. In the initial year of this study, two key questions are explored: First, the optimal strategy for UT, specifically FKIP, to market its study program, and second, the most effective approach to diversify and promote UT’s study programs. Employing qualitative research, data was collected from 131 respondents and 80 students across four regional offices, supplemented by insights from marketing experts. The findings reveal the necessity for a balanced approach incorporating both conventional and digital marketing strategies. While the conventional strategy emerged as more effective based on the questionnaire and FGD results, the research highlighted the importance of developing a digital marketing strategy aligned with UT’s identity as a cyber university.

Abstract

Teaching through e-learning platforms is a common activity deliberately performed by Open University. Later, this process escalated and transformed into a trend due to the advanced development of technology and unforeseen phenomena like the COVID-19 pandemic. However, teaching and learning within the platform are not equally similar in terms of sense and practice. Particularly, assessing student progress and reflecting on the learning process that has been done might not be as easy as what conventional or offline classes can offer. This research provides one particular way to assess it. Through the eyes of students as well as tutors, we could also gain valuable information regarding how learning within e-learning environments has been performed. This research applied qualitative analysis with the help of questionnaire, as well as NVivo as the tool for natural language processing analysis. A total of 66 tutors and approximately 471 students were involved. Based on the findings and analysis, it is shown that tutors tend to mention 7 frequent words, while students mention 8 words. Each word was analyzed by the researcher, leading to two conclusions for tutors. They perceived that the teaching process was hindered by students’ constraints and technical issues. Meanwhile, students faced problems related to slow feedback, lack of communication, and clarity, especially toward students’ answers.

Abstract

The article was to determine the Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) based assessment in speaking and reading in English language learning in distance learning system. The method used qualitative research with a field study design. Collecting data through observation and interview. This research was conducted at SMA Muhammadiyah 4 Makassar with twenty English teachers. The results showed that the HOTS-based assessment in speaking and reading in English language learning within a distance learning system was carried out effectively by the English teachers. However, there were several challenges encountered during implementation, including technological limitations. Distance learning requires a stable internet connection and adequate devices, but not all students have good access to the internet, which can hinder teachers in effectively conducting speaking and reading assessments. Additionally, not all students have sufficient audio or video devices to participate in speaking assessments, which can hinder their ability to practice speaking clearly and listen well. Furthermore, there were challenges in providing direct and individual feedback in distance learning. In speaking assessments, timely and direct feedback is crucial for students to correct mistakes and improve their speaking skills. However, in distance learning, feedback was often given in written form or through recorded videos, which can result in delays and limit students' opportunities for improvement.

These programs include distance learning skill workshops, assignment workshops, and exam clinics, which provide academic assistance and guidance to support students’ independent study. This study employs a qualitative research method involving questionnaires and in-depth interviews. The participants were students from the Bachelor of English Education Study Program. The results indicate that learner support programs positively impact student academic success and retention by increasing students' confidence, enhancing their technology literacy skills, and fostering their independence. It can be concluded that learner support programs employed by UT are strategically important for maintaining student satisfaction, supporting student success, and improving retention rates.Keywords: assignment workshops; exam clinics; Universitas Terbuka; distance learning; student retention

Abstract

Students' English proficiency is often measured by their skills in listening, speaking, reading, and writing. Among these, speaking is a primary focus of the English Education Department at Universitas Terbuka (UT). To assess whether students reach the desired level of proficiency, the department relies on standardized frameworks like the Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR). UT's curriculum on the Speaking course highlights the importance of CEFR, specifying that teaching should foster skills progression in English from elementary (A2) to intermediate (B2) levels. Despite this, there is a need to evaluate whether the implementation aligns with the curriculum's objectives, as the real-world application sometimes falls short of these standards. This research adopts a case study approach using mixed methods, combining qualitative and quantitative data in three regions. The result shows that the curriculum of speaking classes is based on the CEFR at the B2 level.

Abstract

Effective communication is essential in learning English, especially in the speaking aspect. This challenge was evident at SMPN 22 West Jakarta, where students struggled to communicate with their teachers due to language barriers. To address this, the researcher conducted a study in class 9F, involving 33 students, using Classroom Action Research (CAR) across three cycles. The class was chosen due to limited interaction and communication during English lessons. The goal was to improve students' speaking skills through a communicative approach, supplemented with the Simon Says game. The results showed significant improvement in speaking skills. In cycle I, only 11 out of 33 students (33%) could speak English. By cycle III, this number increased to 100%, demonstrating that the communicative approach combined with the Simon Says game was effective in enhancing speaking skills at the junior high school level.

Abstract

The integration of explainer videos in language learning has gained significant attention due to their ability to present complex linguistic concepts in a visually engaging and structured manner. This study examines how students from Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM) and Universitas Terbuka (UT) engage with explainer videos and compares their effectiveness in enhancing language proficiency. Using a mixed-methods approach, data were collected through questionnaires and open-ended responses from students at both institutions. The findings reveal key patterns in student engagement, preferred video formats, and perceived learning benefits, including improvements in vocabulary acquisition, listening comprehension, and speaking confidence. Differences in institutional learning environments and accessibility also influence student experiences with explainer videos. The study further identifies challenges faced by learners, such as attention span limitations and the need for more interactive elements. Insights from this research contribute to the development of more effective video-based instructional strategies for language learning, catering to diverse student needs across different educational contexts.
