Abstract

This study explores English teachers’ conceptions of assessment and the influence of contextual factors operating at the classroom levels within the Indonesian secondary education system. A representative survey was conducted among 236 English teachers from public and private secondary schools across Central Java, Indonesia. The findings reveal that teachers predominantly endorse assessment for purposes of student improvement, student accountability, and school accountability, while comparatively fewer teachers view assessment as irrelevant. Although many respondents express confidence in their assessment knowledge and perceived competence, concerns persist regarding the degree of professional trust they receive particularly in relation to assessment decision-making at both school and policy levels. To further explore underlying patterns, a latent class analysis (LCA) was conducted based on English teachers' responses to the “assessment as irrelevant” dimension. The analysis identified distinct groups of teachers, with those expressing higher levels of assessment irrelevance found across all schools and subject areas. These teachers tended to report lower confidence in assessment preparation, perceived less support from their institutions, and placed reduced value on academic achievement within societal contexts. The results underscore the complexity of teacher belief systems and the interplay of contextual forces shaping conceptions of assessment in Indonesia. Implications are discussed for assessment policy, school leadership, and professional development aimed at strengthening assessment literacy among English language teachers.

Abstract

This study examines the impact of enhancing Language Assessment Literacy (LAL) on Indonesian EFL students’ writing development through Assessment as Learning (AaL) practices. Unlike most research that emphasizes teacher-focused LAL, this study shifts attention to learners, exploring how assessment knowledge, particularly through rubrics, can promote metacognitive awareness, autonomy, and improved writing outcomes. A mixed-methods design was employed with 84 senior high school students randomly assigned to experimental and control groups. Results showed no significant differences between groups prior to the intervention. However, post-test scores indicated a significant advantage for the experimental group (M = 16.69) compared to the control group (M = 8.91), with a large effect size (η² = .82), confirming the effectiveness of LAL-based pedagogy. Qualitative interview data revealed that students’ attitudes toward LAL strongly shaped its classroom integration. Although learners initially reported limited experience, low confidence, and concerns about the reliability of peer assessment, they ultimately expressed positive perceptions of LAL, highlighting its role in clarifying writing expectations, supporting reflection, and fostering learner autonomy. These findings suggest that embedding LAL in EFL writing instruction can transform assessment into a learner-centered process that enhances both writing performance and self-regulated learning. Pedagogically, the study underscores the importance of scaffolding and supportive implementation of student-centered assessment practices. However, the study is limited by its short intervention period and context-specific sample.

Abstract

The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into English language instruction has created new opportunities for enhancing learner engagement and communication skills, particularly in English for Specific Purposes (ESP) contexts. In Business English courses, students must master professional speaking tasks that require fluency, accuracy, and confidence. However, few studies have explored how AI tools can be combined with project-based learning (PBL) to support these outcomes. This study examines the use of AI-supported video projects to enhance speaking performance and improve learner perceptions in a Business English classroom. Using a mixed-methods design, quantitative data from pre- and post-tests and qualitative reflections were analyzed. Results showed significant gains in speaking performance and increased learner autonomy, confidence, and engagement. Students also encountered several challenges, including technical difficulties in using AI applications and initial anxiety about video recording, which required patience and self-regulation to overcome. Despite these challenges, students viewed the AI tools as beneficial. These findings suggest that integrating AI into PBL tasks can serve as a transformative approach for ESP instruction in higher education.Keywords: Artificial Intelligence in Education; Business English Speaking Skills; English forSpecific Purposes (ESP); Project-Based Learning; Technology-Enhanced LanguageLearning

Abstract

This study analyzed the validity and reliability of the Arabic-speaking skills test for Madrasah Aliyah students in Makassar. Speaking skills were essential in Arabic language learning, especially in the context of Islamic education in Indonesia. This study aimed to determine whether the test used had adequate construct validity and reliability in assessing students’ speaking skills. Construct validity was examined through principal component analysis, while internal consistency reliability was measured using Cronbach’s alpha and McDonald’s omega. Data were obtained from a speaking test administered to student samples and analyzed with statistical software. The results indicated that several test items were problematic and required revision. The low Cronbach’s alpha value highlighted issues in inter-item correlations, affecting the overall reliability of the test. The study concludes that the instrument needs refinement to improve measurement accuracy and emphasizes the importance of ongoing evaluation in the development of Arabic speaking assessment tools.

Abstract

This study analyzes the strategic role of digital transformation in accelerating the development of the green economy in Azerbaijan. As global economic systems shift toward sustainability-oriented models, Azerbaijan has begun integrating digital technologies—such as smart energy systems, geographic information platforms, and digital monitoring tools—into its environmental and economic policies. These initiatives are designed to reduce carbon intensity, enhance resource efficiency, and modernize industrial sectors in alignment with international climate standards. The study employs a qualitative library-based approach supported by content analysis to assess state programs, institutional reforms, and policy documents related to digital governance and renewable energy deployment. The findings indicate that digital solutions facilitate transparent decision-making, optimize energy consumption, and support ecological innovations, making them essential components of Azerbaijan’s national development agenda. However, the transition remains constrained by infrastructural disparities, limited technological competencies, and regulatory gaps. The study argues that sustainable development goals cannot be fully realized without comprehensive digital integration, institutional coordination, and capacity-building initiatives. Thus, digitalization is not merely a supportive tool but a foundational mechanism for the advancement of the green economy and long-term socio-economic transformation in Azerbaijan.

Abstract

In the context of Physical Education learning, objective and reliable speed assessment is essential not only for measuring students’ physical abilities but also for informing instructional strategies, individualized feedback, and fair evaluation of learning outcomes. The absence of standardized and objective measurement tools can hinder teachers’ ability to monitor student progress, design appropriate learning interventions, and motivate students effectively. From the background above, the following problem formulations can be taken: 1) What is the range of sports speed norms for students?, 2) What is the development model for sprint speed information hardware software (SHICEPATS) for tests and evaluations of state Islamic higher education students based on ESP8266 wireless?, 3) What is the feasibility of sprint speed information hardware software (SHICEPATS)?. The process that must be passed through in research and development by Borg and Gall.  Feedback from the sports science validator highlighted several weaknesses in SHICEPATS, prompting important product improvements. One key suggestion was the creation of a comprehensive user manual to guide users through the device's operation. Based on input from IT experts regarding the control unit box, the researchers redesigned it to ensure a unique and distinctive appearance that distinguishes. The results of the small group trial showed that 38.10% were still unable to perform digital sprint tests and measurements because the operational method was not yet user friendly and there were still many displays that were confusing. The use of SHICEPATS in the large group trial has improved, the level of ease of performing measurement tests and reading results was 83.21%. In general, the level of ease of SHICEPATS design and ease of carrying was 91.97%, these results indicate that users find it much easier to process and understand the data generated by the device. The system is designed to calculate sprint speed using two strategically placed sensors.
