Abstract

The implementation of differentiated curriculum (DC) in junior high schools has been gaining momentum in recent years as a means to address the diverse needs of students. However, more information about how English as a foreign language (EFL) teachers perceive this change is needed. This study explored English teachers' attitudes and factors that affected the introduction of DC in junior high schools. Data were collected through DC questionnaire administration and interviews using a mixed-method approach. The quantitative data were statistically analyzed using SPSS 23, while the qualitative data were thematically analyzed. The participants were the EFL teachers who actively participated in the MGMP (Musyawarah Guru Mata Pelajaran, or Subject Teacher Forum) of English Subject at the junior high school level in Batu City, East Java, Indonesia. The findings showed that all participants depicted a positive attitude toward DC implementation. However, they found some support needed from all related parties due to some challenges they met during their attempts to implement DC. This study suggests that EFL teachers' positive attitudes drive increased efforts in successfully implementing DC. However, identified challenges necessitate collaborative support from educators, administrators, and policymakers, including professional development and resource provision, for successful DC integration in EFL classrooms.

Abstract

Creative thinking is a vital ability that should be nurtured from the primary level, particularly through collaborative learning activities that engage students in mathematical problem posing. This study aims to investigate the patterns of creative thinking exhibited by primary school students working in homogeneous ability groups during collaborative problem-posing tasks. A qualitative descriptive approach was employed, with data collected through classroom observations, field notes, student-generated problem artifacts, and focus group discussions involving six fifth-grade student groups categorized as high-, medium-, and low-ability. The findings reveal distinct creative thinking patterns across ability groups shaped by internal group dynamics. High-ability groups demonstrated strong fluency in generating ideas but showed limited flexibility and novelty due to dominance by one or two members. Medium-ability groups exhibited more balanced participation, resulting in relatively stronger fluency and flexibility, though originality remained moderate. In contrast, low-ability groups displayed minimal indicators of creative thinking, characterized by passive participation and limited engagement. These results highlight a gap between students’ cognitive potential and their collaborative creative performance within homogeneous group settings. The study concludes that creative thinking in homogeneous ability groups is influenced not only by cognitive level but also by the quality of interaction and equitable participation, underscoring the crucial role of teacher facilitation in designing instructional supports that foster inclusive dialogue and creative collaboration.
