Abstract

This study investigates parents’ perceptions of Native English Teachers (NETs) and Local English Teachers (LETs) who teach young learners aged 3 to 12 at a private English language institution across the Jabotabek region of Indonesia. Using an explanatory sequential mixed-methods design, the study analyzed secondary survey data from 504 parents and conducted semi-structured interviews with 11 purposively selected participants. The quantitative findings revealed that 83.9% of respondents considered NETs important for their children's English education, with increased learner motivation (62.2%) and improved speaking proficiency (56.5%) identified as the primary reasons. Qualitative findings indicated that parents associated NETs with stronger linguistic competence while recognizing LETs for their pedagogical strengths, including effective instructional scaffolding, cultural understanding, and age-appropriate classroom management. The study identified personal experience, institutional marketing practices, and the ideology of native-speakerism as key sociocultural factors shaping parental preferences. A notable contradiction emerged regarding first-language use: although parents valued LETs' ability to use Bahasa Indonesia to clarify difficult concepts, they also perceived this practice as reducing learners' exposure to English. Overall, the findings suggest that parental preferences reflect a complex interaction among linguistic bias, perceived motivational value, and sociocultural influences, with native-speakerism remaining a dominant, yet nuanced, factor in Indonesia's private English as a Foreign Language (EFL) sector.

Abstract

This study analyses the diverse motives of educators entering the teaching profession and their impact on pedagogical decisions during high-stakes exams. Semi-structured interviews with eight participants (six male and two female teachers) from secondary schools in Kabupaten Bandung, Jawa Barat, Indonesia, lasted up to forty minutes. These interviews aimed to elicit insights into the participants' beliefs on their professional calling.Three key themes emerged from the interviews' thematic analysis: the trajectory of a teacher's personal history, the influential role of degree choice, and the weight of accountability. Furthermore, the findings highlighted how gender identity not only influenced the teachers but also echoed across their familial spheres, guiding them towards a profession in education.This investigation underlined the critical significance of cultural beliefs in developing educators' motivations, which serve as the foundation of their professional identity. As a result, this identification has a substantial impact on their pedagogical practises in the classroom, particularly when confronted with the demands imposed by high-stakes exams. This study sheds insight into the intricacies underpinning educators' decision-making processes, particularly in circumstances typified by rigorous assessments, by providing a comprehensive view of the delicate interplay between cultural factors, individual motives, and professional practice.

Abstract

The post-pandemic expansion of digital learning has intensified competition among open and distance learning (ODL) institutions, making educational service quality essential for enhancing student learning experiences. Despite extensive research on service quality in higher education, limited evidence explains how postgraduate students prioritise service improvements in blended ODL environments. This study identifies the educational service attributes that postgraduate students consider most important, evaluates institutional performance, and prioritises improvement areas at Universitas Terbuka (UT), Indonesia. A cross-sectional survey of 345 postgraduate students assessed 78 indicators across the five SERVQUAL dimensions. Data were analysed using descriptive statistics, importance performance gap analysis, and Importance Performance Analysis (IPA). Results showed that perceived performance (M = 3.59) consistently fell below importance (M = 3.75), indicating unmet student expectations. Responsiveness exhibited the largest performance gap (0.26), while eight attributes, primarily related to tutor and administrative responsiveness, were identified as priorities for improvement. The largest gaps were found in the timeliness of grading and feedback, demonstrating that IPA quadrants alone may overlook critical service priorities. By combining IPA with ranked gap analysis, this study offers a more robust approach to prioritising service improvements and provides practical guidance for enhancing educational service quality and student learning experiences in postgraduate distance education.

Abstract

With the rise of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs), adaptive e-learning has become a promising method for enhancing educational practices. This study reviews current research on personalized adaptive e-learning systems and proposes a mobile-based design to addressing the requirements toward Industry 4.0 and Society 5.0. Using a systematic literature review methodology by Kitchenham and Charters, 28 studies were analyzed further. The findings suggest a necessity for clearer definitions of "personalized" and "adaptive" learning and categorize adaptive e-learning designs into four models: learning materials, learner characteristics, pedagogical approaches, and learning structure systems. The findings show there is still a lack of clarity in the definitions of "personalised" and "adaptive" learning, emphasizing the importance of more standardized terminology. The proposed system dynamically customized learning content material based on user preferences, cognitive abilities, and performance metrics, demonstrating the potential for increased students’ engagement and their learning outcomes. This study focusses on the possibilities of blockchain-based open educational resources, artificial intelligence, and gamification as for more engaging personalized student test to improve adaptive learning environments. Future study should confirm the suggested paradigm using empirical investigations and assess its usefulness in promoting lifelong learning.

Abstract

Dynamic Assessment (DA) merges instruction and assessment into a single mediated process. This study tested its effect on procedural writing and writing self-efficacy in a vocational ESP classroom and tracked how students reacted to it, using a pre-experimental, one-group pretest-posttest design. Twenty-two eleventh-grade Software and Game Development students at a vocational high school in Bandung, Indonesia, completed a procedural writing test and two questionnaires before and after a four-stage mediation intervention (prompting, hinting, modeling, feedback); paired-samples t-tests and Cohen's d analyzed the results. Writing scores rose from M = 57.23 to M = 78.50 (t(21) = 26.12, p < .001, d = 2.59), self-efficacy rose from M = 23.32 to M = 36.50 (t(21) = 31.43, p < .001, d = 4.02), and student response shifted from neutral to strongly positive (t(21) = 35.80, p < .001, d = 4.59). These findings extend DA scholarship into procedural, technical-genre writing. The design lacked a control group, and the self-efficacy instrument's reliability was low (α = .454); the numbers here point in a clear direction, but they should not be mistaken for proof.
