Abstract

The objectives of the present study are four-fold: (1) to identify the types of strategies to maintain proficiency used by teachers of English in Indonesia, (2) to know the intensity of use of the obtained strategy types, (3) to measure the inter-correlation in the use of the obtained strategy types, and (4) to investigate the effect of proficiency level on the use of maintaining strategies. The subjects were 93 teachers applying for S2 degree in 2010/2011 at the postgraduate program of the Islamic University of Malang. They were given two sets of instrument, a Likert-scale questionnaire of English proficiency maintaining strategies and a TOEFL test. Then, a factor analysis identified nine strategy categories, including language focusing, metacognitive and affective developing, reading and writing activating, language resource utilizing, cognitive processing, culture learning, social communicating, text analyzing, and radio listening strategies. These strategy types explained 63.84% of variances of maintaining strategies and they were used at high level of intensity. Moreover, the use of the nine strategy types were found to be inter-correlated with one another. Finally, no significant effect of proficiency level on strategy use was found, indicating that teachers with different level of proficiency reported using the same strategies of maintaining their proficiency.

Abstract

This study aims to explore the design of inclusive education and the strategies for fostering tolerance at Pondok Modern Darussalam Gontor. This Islamic boarding school integrates religious education and social morality. Using a qualitative approach with ethnographic methods, the research involves field observations, in-depth interviews with students, teachers, and caregivers, and documentation of relevant activities. The main theoretical argument of this study is grounded in inclusive education theory, which views education as a tool for creating a more just and inclusive society. It also considers the concept of the hidden curriculum, which posits that social and moral values can be instilled through social activities beyond the formal curriculum. The findings indicate that Pondok Modern Darussalam Gontor has successfully integrated inclusive education across various dimensions of the curriculum, including intracurricular, co-curricular, and extracurricular activities, which emphasize collaboration, respect for differences, and unity. Additionally, the hidden curriculum, applied through social activities such as community service and scouting, plays a crucial role in shaping tolerance among students. This research contributes to the literature on inclusive religious-based education, particularly in the context of Islamic boarding schools, by demonstrating how inclusive and moderate-based education can address social challenges in Indonesia. The limitations of this study lie in its focus on only one pesantren and the perspectives of students and caregivers. Future research is recommended to include other pesantren and perspectives from parents and the surrounding community to provide a more comprehensive understanding of the impact of inclusive education on attitudes of tolerance.

Abstract

This study was motivated by the gap between the ideal framework of speaking assessment, which emphasizes grammatical accuracy as a primary indicator, and classroom practice in Islamic boarding schools (pesantren), where fluency and confidence are often prioritized over linguistic accuracy. Accordingly, this study explores EFL teachers’ perceptions of grammatical accuracy in speaking assessment and how these perceptions influence the design and implementation of assessment rubrics. Employing a descriptive qualitative approach, data were collected through semi-structured interviews with three EFL teachers teaching at the elementary, intermediate, and advanced levels. The findings reveal that although grammatical accuracy is acknowledged as important, teachers tend to prioritize effective communication, fluency, and speaking confidence. The assessment rubrics applied are flexible and adapted to students’ backgrounds, proficiency levels, and learning needs. The study also confirms that teachers’ prior learning experiences, professional training, and personal beliefs significantly shape their assessment practices. However, the limited number of participants and the specific institutional context restrict the generalizability of the findings. The study highlights the importance of teacher training that promotes a holistic and contextual approach to speaking assessment, as such an approach may enhance learners’ communicative confidence, reduce speaking anxiety, and foster more active participation in English use within the pesantren environment. Future research is recommended to examine the long-term effects of improved speaking assessment practices on graduates’ social engagement and future opportunities.

Abstract

This study examines how Teachy, an AI-based educational platform, supports teachers’ work in Indonesian public schools. Conducted in Lumajang Regency, East Java, a rural region with limited technological resources, the qualitative case study involved four teachers from junior and senior high schools using Teachy for at least one academic semester. Data collected during the even semester of the 2024/2025 academic year, through interviews, observations, and document analysis, were analysed thematically. Eight themes emerged, including workload assisting, cognitive and pedagogical shifts, emotional responses, leadership support, collaboration, and sustainability challenges. Teachers reported saving 2–4 hours weekly on planning and assessment tasks through automation features. However, barriers such as unstable internet access and insufficient digital literacy limited optimal use. One teacher noted that poor connectivity caused frequent interruptions during digital lesson delivery. The findings demonstrate that AI tools can enhance efficiency and instructional quality when embedded within supportive institutional environments. This study offers one of the few empirical examinations of AI adoption in rural Indonesian schools, contributing new insights to global discussions on AI integration in low-resource settings.

Abstract

The persistence of intolerance in society underscores the critical role of education in shaping tolerant attitudes, particularly within faith-based educational settings. This study aimed to analyze the constructivist approach in inclusive education and its implications for the formation of tolerant attitudes among students at Pondok Modern Darussalam Gontor. A qualitative approach with an ethnographic design was employed, with data collected over the course of one year through participatory observation, in-depth interviews, and document study. Data were analyzed interactively through the stages of data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings show that inclusive education at Pondok Modern Darussalam Gontor is implemented through the shared life of students from diverse cultural, regional, and character backgrounds within a unified schooling and boarding system. The constructivist approach is manifested in learning and student development processes that position students as active subjects in constructing their understanding and tolerant attitudes through direct experience, social interaction, collaborative work, and reflection. Tolerance education is carried out through two models, namely direct tolerance and indirect tolerance, which operate integratively within the framework of inclusive education, thereby making tolerance not merely a norm but a consciously internalized character within the students. The study concludes that a constructivist approach within inclusive education is effective in fostering students’ tolerant attitudes in an active, reflective, and sustainable manner, and affirms that Islamic boarding schools hold strategic potential as character education spaces capable of preparing students to live harmoniously in a plural society.

Abstract

This study investigates the role of the Merdeka Mengajar Platform (PMM) in shaping teacher identity and its impact on professionalism, pedagogical practices, and student learning outcomes among English teachers at secondary schools. Employing a qualitative phenomenological design, data were collected through semi-structured interviews and classroom observations with three teachers actively engaged in PMM. The findings reveal that PMM strengthens teachers’ professional identity by providing structured guidance, mentoring, and collaborative opportunities, which enhance confidence and resilience. In terms of pedagogy, the platform encourages a shift from teacher-centered to student-centered approaches, including project-based learning, peer feedback, digital storytelling, and role-play, thereby fostering innovation and active student engagement. Furthermore, PMM contributes to professional growth by motivating continuous learning and experimentation, while simultaneously improving student outcomes through increased motivation, confidence, and participation. Overall, PMM functions not only as a technological resource but also as a professional ecosystem that bridges teacher development with student success, offering significant implications for the advancement of English language education in Indonesia.
