Abstract

A high-stakes test has been indicated to be negatively linked to teachers and students in the classroom. However, little is known about the impact of such tests on the teachers and students or those who are involved indirectly in their lives. Using an individual interview with eight English teachers from eight junior secondary schools, this study examines the correlation between the high-stake test with performativity mechanism in the pincer of markets and neoliberalism. Thematic analysis was used to analyse the qualitative data taken from the interviews. The findings indicated how test results were used as a source of promotion by schools to give stakeholders the knowledge they needed to engage in the marketized educational system fully. For school administrators and policymakers, the conclusions of this article had significant ramifications. High-stakes assessments were logically sound and theoretically justifiable, but a reliance on them too much foreshadowed replacing traditional educational ideals with the market value of education. The study offered fundamental new insights into high stakes testing as a tool of social control and oppression for students, teachers, and schools for adopting a neoliberal paradigm in education. In addition to impeding learning and teaching, the employment of high-stakes tests as performativity mechanisms also altered the work of schools and teachers, who were the front liners of the educational system.

Abstract

Formative assessment in language learning is inevitable. The differences between formative and summative assessment do not only lie in the time when the assessment is carried out. The differences might be examined by the purposes why the assessment is conducted. This study aims to gather information about the implementation of formative assessment in the classroom. Seven open-ended questions were distributed to 100 participants in an online survey. Eighty-three responses were gathered and analysed qualitatively. The findings showed that there are different perceptions of formative assessment from formative assessment on the policy. The participants indicated that the assessment practices focused more on gaining scores than on providing positive feedback to the students. The new curriculum that emphasises more formative assessment of the pedagogy practices might fail to be implemented in the classroom.

Abstract

Continuous professional development for lecturers, bolstered by government initiatives, is crucial for their ability to meet the changing requirements of the labour market. This research explored the effects and long-term viability of the Non-Degree Program for Polytechnic Lecturers (NDPKD) in Indonesia. The study employed both open- and closed-ended questionnaires to examine the program's impact on improving vocational education. A total of 512 lecturers from both state and private polytechnics took part in the study. The results indicated that the NDPKD program had a beneficial impact on the competencies of lecturers and fostered enhanced collaboration with industry partners. Participants indicated that their skills and knowledge had improved, resulting in more effective teaching practices and increased engagement with the industry. Nonetheless, a number of challenges arose, such as time constraints, variations in initial skill levels, and a lack of adequate institutional support. The constraints of time posed challenges for lecturers in fulfilling program requirements alongside their current responsibilities. Additionally, the diverse levels of competency highlighted the necessity for more customised training approaches. The lack of substantial institutional support significantly diminished the program's overall effectiveness. The study suggests implementing more adaptable scheduling options, creating tailored training programs, and enhancing the support systems within institutions. By focusing on these elements, we can improve the continuity and sustainability of the NDPKD program, thereby maximising its impact on vocational education in Indonesia.

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.
