Abstract

In some cases, EFL (English as a Foreign Language) students may be lack critical thinking in reading, particularly in Indonesia. The purposes of this study were to investigate the implementation of Project-Based-Learning (PjBL) on critical reading to enhance critical thinking skills and describe the students’ responses on the implementation of PjBL in critical reading to enhance critical thinking skills. This research employed a mixed-method approach. The subjects of this research were 26 EFL students at STKIP PGRI Sidoarjo, Indonesia. The data were obtained by using observation, interviews, and questionnaires. Data analysis techniques included data reduction, data presentation, and data conclusion. This study produced several results. Firstly, the implementation of PjBL on critical reading course to enhance critical thinking skills consisted of three stages: 1) planning, 2) implementing, and 3) evaluating. Secondly, based on the interviews, 88.89% of the students were motivated in working on the assignments by using the PjBL model, and 54% of them were excellent. Thirdly, based on the questionnaire, most students (73%) chose “strongly agree” with critical thinking skills. It is hoped that the findings of this research can give information about students’ critical thinking and give an appropriate learning model to enhance the students’ critical thinking.

Abstract

The students mostly use the internet in communication and academic activities as digital literacy competencies in Industrial Revolution 4.0 era. It is called self-directed learning readiness when the students take the initiative without others’ helping in planning, implementing, and evaluating learning processes. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between digital literacy competence and students’ academic performance in self-directed learning readiness in the English language department in STKIP PGRI Sidoarjo. This study used a quasi-experimental design. The research instrument was a questionnaire and students’ GPA data. The relationship between digital literacy competence and academic performance on self-directed learning readiness was analyzed with a chi-square test. The research variables were measured using an ordinal scale based on the attitudes and statements answered by the students. The data were analyzed using correlation test statistics to test the proposed hypothesis. The analysis of self-directed learning readiness scores showed that 79,2% of students had high levels and 20,8% of students had low levels. Chi-square test results to assess the relationship between digital literacy competence and self-directed learning readiness obtained a p-value of 0.198, and the relationship between academic performance and self-directed learning readiness showed a p-value of 0.493. There was a significant relationship between digital literacy competence and academic performance with self-directed learning readiness in EFL students.
