Abstract

One of the reasons for the success of the teaching and learning process in the classroom is the teacher's belief system. Belief guides one’s thinking, action, and understanding of events. The level of beliefs in the teaching process needs to be probed before teachers critically manifest their teaching practices and facilitate outcome changes. In Indonesia, the independent curriculum (Kurikulum Merdeka), which was regulated in 2022, directs the teaching English since elementary school. The present study aims to assess the teachers' belief system in teaching English to elementary school students as the “Kurikulum Merdeka”implementation spirit. The study involved 32 English teachers. The questionnaire assessed the teachers' beliefs about teaching English to elementary school students in 3 areas: the nature of children's English development, methods and techniques, and self-efficacy. There was also 1 open-ended question addressed to teachers to investigate their level of beliefs in teaching English among elementary school students. Data analysis is described in the form of descriptive statistics, independent t-test analysis, and content analysis. The results of this study indicate that the international school environment has a better level of belief than the national-plus school. Meanwhile, there was no difference in the level of belief in teaching among teachers with different educational backgrounds when they were in college.

Abstract

Although the demand for English proficiency in the workplace is increasing, limited research has examined its effects on employees' self-efficacy and job performance. English skills are essential for communication, productivity, and career advancement, yet their Influence on workplace outcomes remains understudied. This study investigates the relationship between employees' English self-efficacy and their professional performance using a mixed-methods design. A closed-ended survey was administered to 32 employees across five companies, and additional qualitative insights were collected from three managerial leaders. Quantitative data were analyzed through statistical correlation, while qualitative data were examined using thematic analysis. Findings show a strong correlation (r = .57) between English self-efficacy and job performance, indicating that employees who feel confident in their English abilities tend to perform more effectively. Managers also emphasized that English proficiency is especially important for supervisory and managerial roles. The study concludes that higher English self-efficacy positively contributes to job performance. However, its scope is limited by a small sample drawn from an electronics manufacturing company and by feedback from only three managerial interviewees, reducing the generalizability of the findings. Future research should explore a broader range of international workplace contexts to better understand how learning communities and vocational training can strengthen employees' language skills and performance.

Abstract

The Human Resources function is undergoing a profound transformation driven by the rapid integration of technologies like artificial intelligence, data analytics, and automation. This shift promises unprecedented efficiency but also raises critical questions about the role of human judgment and connection in people management. This article investigates the imperative to balance technological adoption with the preservation of essential human elements within HR practices. It aims to develop a framework for synergistic integration where technology augments, rather than replaces, human capabilities. The research employs a qualitative, analytical methodology, synthesizing existing literature on HR technology, organizational psychology, and ethics. It analyzes contemporary case studies and industry trends to evaluate the impacts of this technological integration. The analysis confirms that while technology excels in administrative efficiency and data-driven insights, critical areas like complex communication, ethical judgment, culture-building, and strategic creativity remain irreplaceably human. A successful balance is achieved when technology handles transactional tasks, freeing HR professionals to focus on transformational, human-centric work. The future of HR lies not in choosing between technology and humanity, but in strategically leveraging technology to enhance the human touch. The most effective organizations will be those that use digital tools to empower HR professionals to become more empathetic, strategic, and ethical, thereby fostering a more engaged and resilient workforce.

Abstract

This research was conducted at SMA Negeri 4 Batam. This research is based on the students' writing skills that have not been fully trained in writing activities. Even students have limitations in using the right diction. This is because students have less interest in reading so that their absorption in using diction does not support writing activities. Students in doing assignments or exercises to hone their abilities only rely on student worksheets known as LKS. Writing scientific papers that require seriousness and brilliant ideas can apply the cooperative learning model Cooperative Integrated Reading and Composition (CIRC). CIRC is right for improving students' skills in solving problem-solving questions. In the application of CIRC, teacher dominance in learning is reduced. Students are motivated to produce results carefully because they work in groups. Furthermore, students can understand and check each other's work and help weak students. As a result, the CIRC model enhances learning outcomes, particularly in addressing problem-solving tasks. This research employs a qualitative approach through classroom action research. The objective is to enhance the learning process and boost students’ performance in writing scientific papers by utilizing the Cooperative Integrated Reading and Composition (CIRC) strategy. The findings of the study can be summarized as follows: First, the improvement in diction usage when writing scientific papers by students of class XI-IS1 at SMA Negeri 4 Batam was effectively implemented in both Cycle I and Cycle II. Second, the integration of the CIRC model in teaching scientific writing significantly enhanced students’ writing abilities. This progress is reflected in the average scores across the cycles: 58.92 in the pre-cycle, 74.07 in Cycle I, and 83.28 in Cycle II.

Abstract

A study on the black oil pollution crisis [Sludge Oil] is detrimental to the island community, a proof from the island of Bintan that occurs and continues every year. This study contributes to a deep understanding that the black oil pollution crisis [Sludge Oil] in Bintan is not a trouble, but has become an issue in the theoretical context. So this is not just a regional problem, but has concerned a national issue about this black oil waste crisis. This study focuses on an argument question: "How does the Black oil pollution crisis [Sludge Oil] harm the island community? Evidence from the island of Bintan?". To answer this, a qualitative method is needed by analyzing the distribution of data on the internet and data from online news about the black oil pollution crisis harming the island community. The results of the study show that the black oil crisis [Sludge Oil] in the islands is very detrimental to the income of fishing communities, harms the ecosystem where the island community lives and harms tourism in the Bintan Islands. The implications of the black oil pollution crisis that occurred in the Bintan Islands are shown by the death of marine biota and pollution of mangrove forests, as well as the dirtiness of the sea and beaches due to the black oil waste. This research recommends intensifying central and regional surveillance of international sea lanes to detect criminals on ships intentionally dumping sludge oil. Keywords: Crisis, Sludge Oil Pollution, Harm to Island Communities.
