Abstract

Numeracy is essential for students to achieve academic success and develop practical problem-solving abilities in their daily lives. This study aims to investigate the integration of numeracy into the teaching practices of different lessons by elementary school and kindergarten teachers in Semarang, Indonesia. The data of this qualitative research were acquired from 26 teachers using a qualitative technique, which involved an open-ended questionnaire and the analysis of lesson plans. The result of the study shows that only two of the four components of numeracy were known by the teachers. Domain I, which pertains to quantitative information, is the most prominent. Still, Domain II, which relates to spatial information, and Domain IV, which encompasses strategies, techniques, and tools, are noticeably lacking. The study emphasizes the need to provide well-rounded teacher training that covers all aspects of numeracy in order to improve the quality of numeracy instruction. The implications indicate the need for specific professional development programs to solve these gaps, thereby enhancing students’ numeracy skills and academic achievement.

Abstract

This research explored EFL students’ perceptions of using TikTok Duet to practice speaking and minimize their speaking anxiety, and their challenges and benefits from using that feature. This current research employed a descriptive qualitative method, involving 49 students who completed the questionnaire and 6 students who participated in a semi-structured interview. The findings revealed that TikTok Duet had a good influence on students’ achievement in learning because TikTok provided a convenient and enjoyable environment. Students reported that their anxiety decreased while using TikTok Duet, and they found it helpful in improving their speaking development, such as pronunciation, fluency, and vocabulary. This study also found several challenges students face, such as distractions from unrelated content, fast-running video texts, and difficulties finding suitable learning content. In conclusion, TikTok Duet can be a very beneficial digital tool for supporting EFL students in reducing anxiety and developing speaking skills when they use it appropriately.
