Abstract

Writing a thesis in English is challenging for students, especially Indonesian Master's students for whom English is not their first language. Inherently, each chapter presents challenges to address when organizing a thesis. One of the crucial parts of the thesis is the conclusion chapter. It serves as a summary and a place to express suggestions and potential lines for further study. Thus, this study examined how Indonesian students wrote conclusion chapters of TEFL Master's theses. A total corpus of 3897 words was generated as the present study's data. Based on Chen & Kuo (2012) as the analytical framework of the present study, we found that move 2 step 1 (summarizing the study) was frequently used. Both move 1 (introducing the conclusion) and move 3 (evaluating) are obligatory. We also found optional moves and steps providing supporting and complementary roles: Move 4, step 2, and Move 3, step 1. These findings indicate that Indonesian master's students in the TEFL program used the conclusion writing of genre-based method characterized by the ability to adapt to conventional genre-framework and add additional steps. Understanding and using these variations can help Indonesian students craft concluding chapters that demonstrate scholarly engagement and the academic rigor of their study.

Abstract

This article discusses the key role of professionalism in shaping student character in elementary schools. The focus is on the aspect of teacher personality and its impact in shaping students' character. Teachers not only deliver subject matter, but also play a role as role models in children's character development. The requirements of professionalism, especially regarding teacher personality, affect teacher-student interactions and the learning context in the classroom. In the face of these challenges, this article explores the role of teachers as role models, the impact of teacher behavior on students' mindsets, and professional strategies to build positive character. The linkages between the requirements of professionalism, teacher personality and student character building are investigated to formulate concrete steps to improve the quality of education at the elementary level. Through a literature study, this research found that teacher professionalism significantly influences the quality of education, including students' character building and cognitive abilities. Continuous professional development for teachers is needed to improve students' overall educational experience. The research also highlights the level of student heterogeneity and the need for teachers to understand and identify students' individual characteristics to design effective learning programs.
