Abstract

This study investigated the implementation of podcast-based media in improving students' confidence in speaking English at Darul Maaref School Foundation in Satun, Thailand. Using Classroom Action Research methodology, the study involved 30 eighth-grade students who initially demonstrated low speaking confidence, with 70% receiving incomplete grades. The research was conducted in two cycles following Burns' model: planning, implementation, observation, and reflection. Data collection included speaking tests and classroom observations focusing on language, pronunciation, attitude, and clarity. The results showed a significant increase in students' speaking confidence, with the average score increasing from 52 in the pre-cycle to 63 in Cycle I (11% increase) and 87 in Cycle II (24% increase), representing a total increase of approximately 62%. Observations of student activity also increased from 77% engagement in Cycle I to 92% in Cycle II. These findings suggest that podcast-based media addresses common challenges in speaking skill development, including speaking anxiety, by providing a flexible, engaging, and less intimidating platform. This research contributes to an innovative pedagogical approach that responds to contemporary educational needs in English language teaching and offers teachers a practical tool to improve students' speaking confidence in a 21st-century global context.

Abstract

The challenges brought by Covid-19 have threatened not only the economy and health fields but also the educational sectors. In light of education, this issue has led to the swift migration of the learning process from conventional mode to online learning which has resulted in another bottleneck. The current study explores the perception of EFL Indonesian college students about the challenges and benefits of learning speaking through the online system during the Covid-19 outbreak. Forty-five college students participated in this study and were inquired through a semi-structured questionnaire in the weeks following the final term examinations for the academic year 2020-2021. The data was probed by using grounded theory proposed by Creswell. The findings exposed that effectiveness, online benefits, and improvement opportunities were the benefits obtained by students from the online learning. Meanwhile, distraction and information overload, a technical error in online learning technology and internet connectivity matters as well as limited interaction and inadequate support were hindrances that often hampered the students.  Consequently, this scholarly paper also provides advice on the essence of the readiness of adequate facilities and the collaboration from stakeholders; government, teachers, students, and parents to successfully implement online learning.

Abstract

The phenomenon of online learning has grown at a rapid pace over the years. Despite its benefits, online learning also comes with certain drawbacks, such as a shortage of access to reliable network connectivity, digital literacy, and socializing. The current study aims to explore the perceptions of parents regarding the challenges of distance learning faced by their children in Indonesia. Questionnaires via google forms and interviews were used to diagnose the parents’ responses to handicaps that existed during distance learning. The participants comprised 30 parents whose children joined online schooling. The findings revealed that parents experienced various kinds of obstacles in their efforts to help their children learn remotely such as (1) personal barriers (2) technical barriers (3) logistical barriers, and (4) financial barriers. The trend toward online learning is projected to continue and grow in the coming years with more dialogical, synchronic, pluralist, open, and accessible to various groups.

Abstract

Karena berpikir adalah aktivitas alamiah dari orang-orang yang cerdas, maka pembelajaran sebagian besar terdiri dari aktivitas berpikir. Pendidikan sangat penting untuk menjamin kemakmuran dan kelangsungan hidup suatu negara. Pendidikan Kewarganegaraan mencakup pelajaran tentang hak dan tanggung jawab; pelajaran ini sangat penting ketika mengajar di tingkat sekolah dasar. Hasil temuan penelitian di SB Kamus Gombok Utara menunjukkan bahwa pendekatan pembelajaran yang saat ini digunakan masih mengandalkan teknik pembelajaran tradisional seperti ceramah, tanya jawab, dan penugasan. Dalam konteks di mana proses belajar mengajar cenderung berpusat pada instruktur dan mengakibatkan berkurangnya keterlibatan siswa, penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengatasi masalah tersebut dengan menerapkan paradigma pembelajaran example non example. Tujuan utamanya adalah untuk meningkatkan hasil belajar siswa dan mendorong partisipasi aktif siswa. Fokus utama dari upaya ini adalah untuk meningkatkan pemahaman siswa tentang hak dan tanggung jawab mereka dalam mata pelajaran PKN di kelas IV SD Negeri 1 Gombok Utara. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa model pembelajaran example non example memberikan dampak yang signifikan terhadap pemahaman siswa tentang hak dan kewajibannya. Nilai signifikansi hitung sebesar 0,009, yang melebihi nilai kritis t tabel sebesar 1,943, menunjukkan efektivitas pendekatan pembelajaran ini dalam meningkatkan pemahaman siswa tentang hak dan kewajibannya. Secara keseluruhan, penelitian ini mengonfirmasi bahwa pemanfaatan model pembelajaran example non example dapat memberikan pengaruh positif terhadap pemahaman siswa tentang hak dan kewajibannya dalam mata pelajaran PKN pada siswa kelas IV SD Negeri 1 Gombok Utara. Sebagai akibatnya, penelitian ini berhasil mencapai tujuannya dan memperkuat validitas model pembelajaran yang digunakan.
