Abstract

Even though pre-service teachers are crucial to raising educational standards, there is a disconnect between classroom theory and real-world practice. Preservice teachers' perspectives on the Teaching-Campus Program's impact on their professional growth as educators are the focus of this research. The research team used quantitative methods and descriptive analysis to gather data from a closed-ended questionnaire. The questionnaire assessed eight different areas of teaching abilities: lesson planning, explanation, variation, questioning, reinforcement, classroom management, small group instruction, and small group discussion facilitation. With a mean score of 90.63 percent, the results demonstrated that the pre-service teachers' capacity to articulate ideas clearly and provide appropriate examples was the strongest competency. Questioning skills followed with a mean score of 90.00%, while opening and closing the lessons skills scored 89.69%. Reinforcement skills recorded a mean score of 88.33%, and classroom management skills reached 87.71%. Small group teaching skills and variation skills achieved mean scores of 85.32% and 85.00%, respectively. Guiding small group discussions skills obtained the lowest score of 80.94%, indicating the need for further improvement in this area. As a whole, the Teaching-Campus Program has helped prepare future educators for the classroom by connecting classroom practice with classroom theory. If they want to advance in their careers, they should get more training on how to lead group discussions and how to change up their teaching methods.

Abstract

Since the implementation of the Zoning System for Student Admissions, classes in public schools have become academically heterogeneous. High achievers and low achievers are often in the same classroom. In many cases, these low achievers continue to lag because they are trapped in a vicious cycle of poor performance. Therefore, intervention is needed. One of them is by enhancing their academic self-efficacy through the implementation of a teaching strategy specifically designed to achieve this goal. This community service aims to: 1) improve teachers' understanding of the academic self-efficacy construct and its influence on learning, and 2) assist teachers in developing teaching strategies based on academic self-efficacy enhancement. This community service is divided into three stages of implementation: 1) pre-face-to-face training activities, 2) face-to-face training activities, and 3) post-face-to-face training activities. In the first stage, the community service team coordinates with the partner to prepare the necessary arrangements. In the second stage, the team provided the participants with a one-day training session. Twenty-six English teachers participated. After the self-efficacy construct was presented, participants formulated teaching strategies in groups based on the principles of self-efficacy enhancement. These strategies can then be implemented in their respective classes. The participants positively responded to the training. Follow-up activities, such as research on the strategy's impact, are necessary. Therefore, the lectures and the teachers are expected to maintain cooperation.

Abstract

This study focused on the KWL (Know-Want-Learned) strategy in students’ reading comprehension of descriptive text. The objective of this study was to find out how the KWL strategy could improve students’ reading comprehension of descriptive text. The design of the research was collaborative classroom action research. This research was conducted in two cycles; each cycle consisted of planning, action, observation, and reflection. By using the purposive sampling technique, the students in XD of a certain school in Semarang were selected as the sample of this study. The sample consisted of 30 students, 20 females and 10 males. The researchers used an observation sheet and a test to collect the data. The result showed that the KWL strategy was a way of teaching reading comprehension of descriptive text. Based on the test score, in cycle one, there were 50% students who achieved a minimum standard score, and in cycle two, 90% students achieved a minimum standard score. Thus, it could be concluded that the KWL strategy could improve students’ reading comprehension of descriptive text in the way of helping students to reach the minimum standard score.

Abstract

Many Indonesian undergraduate programs have recently required their students to publish research papers before graduation. However, for some students, this requirement is not easy to meet, especially for students of the English education study program, whose papers must be written in English. This study aims to: 1) describe the attitude of the English education study program students towards English research paper writing for publications, and 2) identify possible factors affecting their attitude. Sixty-five students of the English Education Study Program from the English department of three universities in Semarang, Central Java, were selected conveniently and participated in the study as respondents. Data on the attitude were collected using a Likert-type questionnaire and analyzed quantitatively, while data on factors affecting attitude were collected through interviews and analyzed qualitatively. The results show that students have positive attitude, although they face problems related to language mastery. In a five-point scale measurement, most of the statement mean scores are above 3.0 for positive statements, and below 3.0 for the negative statements. The results reveal that students are aware of the potential advantages linked to English research paper writing and publication, such as increasing knowledge and language mastery, improving academic performance, etc.. However, the findings also show that students face challenges related to limited vocabulary, grammar structure, and sentence constructions. Implications of the study are presented, and future research directions are offered.
