Abstract

This study examines pre-service teachers’ attitudes toward the teaching profession in Indonesia and explores how sociocultural factors shape their motivation. A mixed methods design combined a Teacher Attitude Inventory (TAI) survey (N = 460) with semi-structured interviews (n = 20). Group differences were assessed non-parametrically; interviews were then thematically analyzed to explain the quantitative patterns. Attitudes were broadly positive and stable, with no statistically significant differences by gender, program of study, or semester. Interviews revealed three interlocking strands shaping career decisions: intrinsic–altruistic commitment (meaning, contribution), pragmatic–extrinsic calculus (stability, compensation, entry routes), and sociocultural positioning (family expectations, gendered identities, perceived status). These strands clarify why professional pride and learner-centred beliefs coexist with cautious views of career prospects and perceived limits on teacher voice. Results support (i) gender sensitive mentorship, (ii) discipline-specific motivational scaffolds in ITE, (iii) recruitment and bonded scholarship schemes for rural deployment, and (iv) well-being supports that enhance agency and retention. By integrating group-level convergence with culturally situated narratives, the study reframes motivation as a contextual phenomenon and offers actionable levers for teacher workforce policy and ITE program design.

Abstract

Listening comprehension remains a significant challenge for many Indonesian junior high school EFL students, primarily due to limited exposure to and insufficient engagement with authentic listening materials. This Classroom Action Research explores the effectiveness of using collaborative online audio podcasts featuring narrative texts to enhance extensive listening skills and increase student engagement. The study, conducted over five sessions with eighth-grade students, utilized qualitative methods including classroom observations, reflective journals, and semi-structured interviews. The findings indicate that podcast-based collaborative listening activities significantly boosted students' motivation, participation, and comprehension of narrative texts. Students reported enjoying the interactive and social aspects of group listening tasks, which fostered active discussions and peer support, consistent with Vygotsky’s Sociocultural Theory and Mayer’s Cognitive Theory of Multimedia Learning. Despite some challenges, such as difficulties with vocabulary and fast speech, the overall impact on listening skills and student attitudes was positive. This study suggests that integrating podcasts into collaborative extensive listening practices provides a practical, engaging, and effective approach to improving EFL listening comprehension in junior high school settings.
