Abstract

Despite its increasing popularity among young adults, TikTok has been very slow in finding its way into the English as a foreign language (EFL) teaching profession. Yet before introducing the application into the EFL classrooms, it is no doubt imperative to discern what is preferable among EFL learners. Thus, the aim of the present study was to examine the extent to which EFL learners perceive TikTok as facilitating their learning. To this end, the participants (N = 31) were asked to fill out a short, online questionnaire to gather information about (i) whether they utilized TikTok as an affordance for their EFL learning and (ii) whether they perceive its integration into the EFL classrooms as facilitative of their learning. The findings revealed that although they did not explicitly mention that they used TikTok as an affordance for their EFL learning, they held a belief that TikTok is effective in promoting their English proficiency. According to the students, there were three factors of note which contribute to the effectiveness of TikTok, namely abundant authentic input availability, easy-to-grasp information and availability of free tuition related to English language learning. Pedagogically, it implies that TikTok is worth integrating into the EFL classrooms.

Abstract

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming education massively. As AI increasingly integrates into a learning environment, understanding students' opinions is crucial for optimizing its usage in higher education contexts. This study explores the perceptions and experiences of first-semester university students in Indonesia regarding artificial intelligence within the context of higher education. This research investigates students' views on their motivation to use AI and its perceived advantages and disadvantages. Through a case study approach, this study used semi-structured interviews with 50 first-semester students at a private university In Indonesia. The study reveals a complex insight. This study uncovers students' experience trying AI for their learning and their enthusiasm for re-using it. This study also uncovers students' motivation to use AI. Students recognize AI's potential to enhance learning, simplify academic tasks, and foster lifelong learning. However, they also express concerns about AI's accuracy, the potential for diminished critical thinking skills, ethical implications, and accessibility issues. The findings underscore the need for comprehensive AI literacy education in Indonesian universities, emphasizing technical skills, ethical considerations, critical thinking, and responsible AI usage. Moreover, this contributes to the growing body of knowledge on AI in education and provides valuable insights for educators and policymakers seeking to integrate AI into higher education in Indonesia effectively.

Abstract

This study aims to examine in depth the influence of character education on the moral development of elementary school students. Character education is a systematic effort to instill moral values ​​in students in order to form individuals who have noble character, are responsible, and are able to make ethical decisions in everyday life. In the context of elementary education, moral development is an important foundation for the formation of students' character and personality from an early age. This study uses a qualitative approach with a case study method implemented in one of the public elementary schools. Data collection techniques were carried out through observation of learning activities, in-depth interviews with teachers and students, and documentation of school activities related to character values. The results of the study showed that character education that is implemented in a planned and sustainable manner, both through positive habits, teacher role models, and integration of moral values ​​into subjects, is able to significantly encourage students' moral development. Students showed improvements in aspects of responsibility, honesty, respect, tolerance, and social concern. In addition, the active involvement of teachers and a supportive school environment also played a role in strengthening the internalization of these values ​​in students. This finding is in line with Lickona's (1991) view which emphasizes that character education not only forms good behavior, but also develops children's moral and emotional capacities holistically. Therefore, character education needs to be an integral and strategic part of the elementary school curriculum in order to form a young generation that is ethical, responsible, and has high integrity.
