Abstract

This qualitative case study investigates how EFL teachers and students collaboratively enact Exploratory Practice (EP) principles in intensive reading instruction at an Indonesian university. Drawing on classroom observations, semi-structured interviews, and reflective journals, the research explores the pedagogical integration of EP’s seven key principles, including puzzle-posing, mutual development, and reflective inquiry. Findings reveal that EP transforms the reading classroom into a space for shared exploration, where both teachers and learners co-construct meaning, deepen engagement with texts, and foster a supportive learning community. Teachers shifted from delivering fixed content to facilitating dialogic discussions around learner puzzles, while students became more reflective and agentive in their reading practices. The enactment of EP led to improved teacher-student relationships, enhanced metacognition, and greater emotional investment in learning. However, challenges emerged, including time constraints, discomfort with open-ended inquiry, and misalignment with standardized assessments. Despite these tensions, the study underscores the potential of EP to humanize reading instruction by centering learner voice, inquiry, and well-being. This research contributes to the growing literature on practitioner research in language education, offering insights into the enactment of EP in skill-specific domains and advocating for more inclusive, inquiry-driven pedagogy in EFL contexts.

Abstract

This community service program is designed to enhance the digital literacy skills of teachers at SDN Mugarsari Tasikmalaya through the development of AI-based instructional material design. In today’s digital era, the integration of digital technologies in education has become essential. Technology has a significant impact on both teachers and students to improv the quality of learning fostering students’ skills and enhancing their learning motivation and self-confidence. However, it is found that many elementary school teachers still face challenges in using technology especially the use of artificial intelligence in developing learning materials. Therefore, continuous mentoring and intensive training are needed, particularly in the use of information technology as a tool for designing learning materials. There are various educational technologies that teachers can use in material design, such as videos, mobile devices, and AI-based applications. The use of artificial intelligence in education has recently become a widely discussed topic. AI-based technology offers great benefits and advantages due to its effectiveness, efficiency, and adaptability. The development of AI-based learning materials such as the use of ChatGPT, Magic School, Canva AI, and Quizizz AI can contribute on the development of learning quality to create more creative and relevant instructional content. This activity is expected to be beneficial to improve teachers’ readiness in facing the challenges of 21st-century learning in the future.
