Abstract

Microteaching serves as a practical method in teacher education that helps pre-service teachers develop pedagogical competence through structured teaching practice, reflection, and feedback. This study explores the conduct of pre-service teachers in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) program, and evaluate their teaching practice during microteaching sessions at an Islamic State university in Indonesia. Drawing on Amobi’s (Amobi, 2005) four-stage framework of reflectivity: describing, informing, confronting, and reconstructing. The study explores patterns of reflection emerging from student teachers’ self-reflections and peer evaluations. The participants consisted of 12 sixth-semester undergraduate students (three males and nine females) enrolled in a compulsory microteaching course. Using a qualitative grounded theory approach, data were composed from written self-reflections and peer feedback, and analyzed through content analysis. Findings revealed that participants demonstrated varying levels of reflective engagement across the four stages, showing progress from descriptive awareness of teaching actions to reconstructive insights for future practice. The dominant themes included awareness of teaching design, critical responses to peer feedback, and explicit strategies for improving classroom instruction. The results also indicated that reflective microteaching encouraged professional self-awareness and pedagogical growth among student teachers. The study concludes that reflective teaching practice in microteaching benefits student teachers, lecturers, and institutions by enhancing the quality of teacher preparation and fostering continuous professional development.

Abstract

This study is aimed to analyze early childhood education (ECE) teachers’ self-efficacy in teaching English for young learners in kindergarten context. The mixed method was chosen as the research design to answer the research question to what extent do ECE teachers believe in their ability to teach English to young learners seen from three dimensions of self-efficacy, magnitude, generality, and strength. The participants in this study were ten kindergarten teachers in a school located in Central Java. In collecting the data, they were given a questionnaire adopted from Bandura’s theory that proposes the level of self-efficacy containing three dimensions, magnitude dimension, generality dimension and strength dimension. Then, an in-depth interview was conducted to validate and gather more data from the questionnaire filled in by participants. Findings showed that the level of self-efficacy of teachers was adequate in the three dimensions of self-efficacy, magnitude (score 3), generality (score 3), and strength (score 3). However, participants showed lack of self-efficacy in the two statements in strength dimension, feeling comfortable to help their students learning English and teaching English is not frustrating. On going professional developments are needed, such as regular workshop and English proficiency test for teachers to improve ECE teachers’ self-efficacy in teaching English for young learners.

Abstract

This study aimed to develop a Canva-based English learning module integrated with Islamic content for early childhood education (ECE) teachers using the ADDIE (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation) model. Data were collected from 36 ECE teachers through a needs analysis questionnaire. ECE teachers needed English learning materials integrated with Islamic values, particularly on topics such as the Five Pillars of Islam, Islamic etiquette, and daily prayers, using songs, flashcards, and short animated videos as preferred learning media. Based on the need analysis, an interactive Canva-based e-module was designed and developed, integrating videos, songs, flashcards, audio, and quizzes. Three expert validators in educational technology, English education, and ECE gave high validity scores (94.4% to 98.6%), indicating that the module was highly feasible. The implementation stage involved 19 ECE teachers who practiced using the module following a Focus Group Discussion (FGD) conducted by the researchers. The evaluation stage was conducted through a questionnaire administered to the participants and showed positive responses toward the module, with mean scores ranging from 3.11 to 3.42 across the evaluation indicators. Overall, the findings indicate that the Canva-based module is feasible, practical, and supportive of English learning integrated with Islamic values in ECE contexts.
