Abstract

Proses transisi menuju kurikulum Merdeka menimbulkan tantangan tersendiri bagi guru bahasa Inggris sekolah menengah karena mereka harus menyesuaikan strategi pembelajarannya di dalam kelas dan memastikan pembelajaran berfokus pada siswa. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis tantangan yang dihadapi oleh guru bahasa Inggris di tingkat sekolah menengah di Indonesia pada saat mengajar dan strategi yang digunakan sesuai konteks kurikulum Merdeka. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah deskriptif kualitatif dengan melibatkan tiga sekolah dengan jenjang SMP, SMA, dan SMK. Data penelitian diperoleh melalui diskusi kelompok dan observasi pembelajaran bahasa Inggris di dalam kelas. Responden penelitian terdiri dari guru bahasa Inggris, wakil kepala sekolah bagian kurikulum, dan kepala sekolah. Seluruh guru bahasa Inggris yang masuk dalam proses diskusi dan diobservasi pembelajarannya adalah guru-guru senior dengan pengalaman lebih dari 10 tahun. Seluruh data ditranskripsi secara verbatim dan dianalisis dengan metode analisis tematik. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa guru menghadapi tantangan karena kurangnya supervisi dalam proses implementasi kurikulum, tingginya jumlah siswa dan kelas yang harus diberi pembelajaran berdiferensiasi, ketergantungan siswa terhadap kecerdasan buatan, rendanhnya partisipasi dalam PMM, dan efektivitas penilaian karakter melalui program P3 dan P5. Untuk mengatasi hal tersebut, guru bahasa Inggris menginisiasi pelatihan mandiri dengan melakukan studi tiru ke instansi terkait, menghadirkan ahli tentang kurikulum Merdeka, partisipasi aktif dalam MGMP, manajemen penggunaan kecerdasan buatan di dalam kelas, mengikuti instruksi kepala sekolah untuk aktif mengakses PMM, dan koordinasi penilaian untuk karakter pelajar Pancasila. Penelitian ini berdampak pada pentingnya pengambilan keputusan oleh pemangku kebijakan terkait peningkatan kompetensi guru bahasa Inggris agar dapat memenuhi capaian dalam kurikulum Merdeka.

Abstract

Indonesian postgraduate students encounter significant challenges in academic writing, particularly in areas such as clarity, coherence, organization, grammar, and plagiarism prevention. This study investigates these challenges and explores the potential of AI-driven strategies to enhance writing skills. Utilizing a mixed-methods approach, including quantitative surveys of 50 participants and qualitative interviews with six postgraduates, the research identified key obstacles such as difficulty in formulating clear research questions, using precise academic vocabulary, maintaining logical flow, and mastering citation practices. To address the issues, they employed several effective strategies employed      including seeking feedback, attending workshops, outlining, varying sentence structures, and thorough proofreading. AI tools like Grammarly, QuillBot, ChatGPT, and Mendeley are widely used for grammar checks, paraphrasing, citation management, and enhancing coherence, demonstrating their value in supporting academic writing. However, the study underscores the importance of human oversight to ensure originality and foster critical thinking. These findings have implications for both theoretical advancement and educational practice, particularly in the integration of AI tools in higher education. The findings hold significant implications for educational practice, suggesting that AI integration in higher education can serve as an effective support tool, provided it is accompanied by guidance on responsible usage.

Abstract

Inspired by the different usage patterns, preferences, and perceived effectiveness of AI tools to support English productive skills, the study provides their comparative analysis among students in Indonesia and Russia. The study used a mixed-methods approach with a convergent parallel design to conduct the research.  While the researcher employed online questionnaires containing ordinal scales using Likert-type items to collect quantitative data, interviews with open-ended questions were used to get qualitative data. There are 175 students from each country as the research sample. The study results confirm that Russian students access AI weekly or monthly, and Indonesian students use AI tools daily. Students in both countries admit that chatbots and language learning apps are their preferred AI tools. In terms of perceptions, while Indonesian students consider AI a beneficial tool to support their writing, Russian students classify AI tools as a valuable companion in speaking. They also stated their neutrality due to excessive accuracy and dependency. To develop AI tools, students highlighted the essence of more tailored, interactive, and attainable features. In conclusion, although AI tools support English productive skills, there is a need to incorporate pedagogical guidance and ethical considerations in their implementation.
