Abstract

When teaching English in a multicultural setting, culturally responsive pedagogy (CRP) becomes even more important. It promotes diversity by recognizing the impact of students' different backgrounds and experiences on their identities. Teachers can increase student engagement, foster critical thinking, and improve language acquisition by incorporating culturally relevant materials and teaching strategies. This method respects students' cultural backgrounds and enhances their ability to understand and empathize with individuals from diverse backgrounds. The purposes of this mixed-method study with an explanatory design were to 1) find out what English language teachers think are the most important aspects of CRP and 2) find out how they use CRP to keep students interested. The participants (N = 95) are majoring in English from elementary, secondary, and higher education levels. The researchers used an online questionnaire and a semi-structured interview to gather the data from respondents. The researchers analyzed the questionnaire using the adjectival rating of a four-point Likert Scale and analyzed the interview using the verbatim technique. The findings revealed that the dominant key characteristics of CRP were care and empathy. Therefore, the interview results indicated that practicing CRP successfully boosted student engagement since their involvement and motivation appeared as well since teachers were 1) using relevant contexts and examples, 2) incorporating multicultural perspectives, 3) encouraging student-driven material selection, and 4) making personalization of content.

Abstract

The paradigm shift caused by the pandemic led the students to adjust their study habits as opposed to what was conventional during face-to-face learning. This study presented the study habits, mathematics performance, and gender differences of Agriculture students during the new normal. The researchers surveyed 193 Agriculture students, enrolled in the first semester of SY 2021-2022, using an adapted questionnaire to assess students’ study habits, and the final examination test to quantify students’ mathematics performance. Mean, standard deviation, correlation analysis, and t-test for independent means were utilized in treating the data. Results showed a moderate positive relationship between students’ study habits and their mathematics performance. With regards to student’s study habits, no significant difference was found between the two sexes; however, female students were found to have significantly performed better in mathematics compared to male students. From these findings, the researchers recommend that students should be encouraged to adopt good study habits as this relates to their performance. Further, instructors should devise strategies that would cater mathematics performance of both sexes.

Abstract

This research aims to investigate vocational school learners' perspectives on the cybergogy approach for an enhanced English language instruction. Utilizing a quantitative research design, the study surveyed 619 students across 17 vocational schools in Yogyakarta Province. The results indicate that the majority of learners find the cybergogy approach engaging and effective, particularly due to its interactive nature and the flexibility it offers. Learners appreciated the ability to access learning resources at their own pace, which is crucial given their varying schedules. However, the study also highlights challenges, including the reliance on consistent access to quality techno-logy, which may limit the approach's effectiveness for some students. The findings underscore the importance of integrating multimedia resources and fostering peer collaboration to enhance English language instruction. The study concludes that while the cybergogy approach shows promise in improving language skills and learner engagement, its implementation must be carefully managed to address technological disparities among students.

Abstract

Integrating artificial intelligence (AI) into education has transformed traditional approaches to teaching and learning, particularly in academic writing instruction. This study investigates the pedagogical impact of using QuillBot, an AI-based paraphrasing tool, on students' academic writing performance and their perceptions of its use. Motivated by the increasing complexity of academic writing and the need for instructional innovation, this mixed-methods research examines learning outcomes and student experiences. Forty-fourth-semester students, consisting of 13 male and 27 female students, enrolled in an Academic Writing course, participated in the study. An explanatory sequential design was employed, starting with pre- and post-tests measuring writing performance, followed by semi-structured interviews to explore students' reflections. The results revealed a significant improvement in students' writing scores, with the mean increasing from 49.25 (pre-test) to 74.00 (post-test), indicating enhanced ability in paraphrasing and producing coherent academic texts. Students also reported that QuillBot helped them internalize academic language structures, improved their awareness of sentence patterns, and supported autonomous learning by providing immediate, accessible feedback. Moreover, they acknowledged the importance of ethical usage and viewed the tool as a guide rather than a shortcut. These insights highlight the dual role of AI tools as both linguistic support systems and pedagogical aids when thoughtfully integrated into instruction. Future research should consider broader and more diverse populations to deepen understanding of how AI-assisted writing tools shape student learning across different educational contexts.Keywords: Academic writing, Paraphrasing, Artificial intelligence, Quillbot
