Abstract

A literature review has demonstrated that the implementation of digital literacy in the learning environment leads to significant changes in students. The purpose of this study was to analyze how teachers use digital literacy strategies in learning activities. To achieve this goal, a semi-structured qualitative study was carried out with five (female) English teachers from secondary schools through focused individual interviews. Six questions were asked during the interview and the findings were analyzed. The findings indicated that teachers engaged in diverse technology professional development to integrate digital media into classroom instruction. Some teachers faced challenges in the use of technology and sought assistance from tech-savvy colleagues. Furthermore, teachers often encountered challenges in the use of copyright which highlighted the need for accessible educational resources and support in navigating copyright issues. Finally, teachers use a blended strategy by combining the use of digital and traditional media in classroom teaching. This study will be useful for teachers and school administrators in preparing for advanced education in the era of digital transformation.

Abstract

This study examines how teachers and parents use communication strategies to help middle school students improve their English language skills. A qualitative approach involving semi-structured interviews with five parents and five English teachers was employed, based on Epstein’s framework of parenting, communicating, volunteering, learning at home, decision-making, and collaborating with the community. The findings reveal that teachers and parents generally communicate effectively using WhatsApp and phone calls, but there are areas that need improvement. Parents participation in volunteering and decision-making activities is infrequent, and the school lacks collaboration with external communities. Despite these limitations, both teachers and parents recognize the importance of their communication in supporting students' English language proficiency. The study highlights the need for more comprehensive parental involvement strategies to enhance students' academic achievement.

Abstract

Learning videos can be used as a learning tool. Learning videos have several advantages, including providing convenience in undergoing the learning process without being bound by space and time, and material can be repeated independently. Many learning videos can be accessed on social media. To facilitate learners in learning and attract their attention, learning videos must be made creatively and innovatively. One of the applications to create learning videos is Open Broadcaster Software (OBS). This community service uses the application to socialize to educators in the hope that educators can be helped in making interesting learning videos. Previously, OBS had never been used by educators in delivering material. This community service was attended by 40 Muhammadiyah high school teachers in Jakarta. On the first day of community service, the speaker explained about learning videos with OBS. On the second day, participants were asked to make their learning videos with the help of the community service team. Furthermore, participants presented the results of their work. Participants felt that it would be easier to convey material with learning videos and could be more creative with OBS.
