Abstract

This study focuses on the topic of emerging adult literacy in Indonesia by investigating the sociocultural perspective of tutors who involved in the program. This study adopts a sociocultural perspective and presents an ethnographic investigation that examines the instructional practices of two adult education tutors. In-depth and repeated interviews were conducted with the two subjects to learn about their socioeconomic situation, teaching and training history, personal motivation, literacy beliefs, and pedagogical philosophy. The results of this study, which looked at two tutors' literacy instruction in terms of their characteristics and attitudes as well as their working environments, have shown the benefits of adopting a social perspective on teaching. The findings show that these two tutors are highly motivated and committed to helping their students learn to read and write despite the challenges they face as tutors, including a lack of thorough pre-service, limited in-service training, and minimal ongoing financial and pedagogical support. The results of this research could potentially have significant consequences for developing more efficient adult literacy initiatives in Indonesia and similar culturally heterogeneous environments.

Abstract

The present study compares the university student’s experiences of learning in virtual mode during unprecedented impacts of the COVID-19 in Bangladesh and Indonesia with a focus on the enjoyment, performance, satisfaction, and cost of online learning.This was quantitative cross-sectional research conducted by using an online survey with the participation of 438 and 529 university students in Bangladesh and Indonesia. The findings reveal that university students in Bangladesh have little more comfortable with online learning compared to those in Indonesia. The students in both countries have no problem with adaptation to avant-garde online learning platforms. University students in Bangladesh appear little more satisfied with online teaching while those in Indonesia tend to be less satisfied. University students either in Bangladesh or in Indonesia consider online learning as an expensive learning mode. The present study depicts an early online remote learning experience of university students during the COVID-19 pandemic. Due to the nature of the descriptive comparative study focusing on Bangladesh and Indonesia, the results of this study may not be generalised. Specific factors underlying their experiences are in need of further investigation. In future endeavours, lectures are urged to actively harness proper technologies, mix between conventional and virtual learning or blend synchronous and asynchronous learning to provide more enjoyable and interesting online learning thus the students can be more satisfied.
