Abstract

This study investigates the influence of Teacher Professional Development (TPD) on EFL teachers’ instructional practices and their perceived effects on students’ academic achievement in the Indonesian context. Drawing on Guskey's model of teacher change, this quantitative research involved three English teachers at SMA BOPKRI 2 Yogyakarta who participated in a structured TPD initiative. Data were collected using a Likert scale questionnaire, and analyzed descriptively on the impact of Teacher Professional Development and their perceived effect on students' academic achievement. The findings revealed consistent positive changes across five indicators: professional growth, instructional practices, student-centered adjustment, student engagement, and academic achievement. The respondents reported that TPD may enhance their self-confidence, increase innovative teaching strategies, and improve responsiveness to student needs. Furthermore, the study found that instructional improvement had a clear motivational effect on students; previously passive learners became more engaged, confident, and enthusiastic about learning English. Teachers also perceived improvements in students’ academic performance across key skill areas, including speaking, writing, and comprehension. This shows that TPD programs not only enhance teachers' pedagogical capabilities but also lead to meaningful gains in the students' engagement and learning achievement.

Abstract

Small Group Discussion (SGD) is one of the techniques that can be used in learning and teaching English speaking skills. This study aims to find out students' perceptions and the challenges students encountered when using SGD in their English-speaking activities at SMK Dirgantara Putra Bangsa. This study used mixed method approaches, and the instruments used in collecting data were questionnaires and semi-structured interviews. Respondents in this study were 23 students (7 males and 16 females) from class X of SMK Dirgantara Putra Bangsa in the academic year 2023–2024and through a purposive random sampling technique. Furthermore, a questionnaire was used to figure out students' perceptions, and semi-structured interviews were conducted to find out the challenges encountered by students when using SGD. Sixrespondents (5 females and 1 male) were selected in the interview session based on their scores, they are; two students with the highest scores, two students with middle scores, and two students with low scores to be interviewed. The semi-structured interview data were analyzed qualitatively using the interactive model proposed by Miles & Huberman (1994). The results of this study show that students' perceptions of using SGD can enhance their speaking skills. Meanwhile, the results of the interviews indicated that lack of vocabulary and self-confidence were challenges those students encountered in using SGD. This learning model may help students participate, engage, and enhance their confidence in speaking English, and teachers are aware of the importance of choosing the right learning model to achieve successful learning in the classroom are a few pedagogical implications of the present study
