Abstract

This research aims to describe in-depth the dialectical process of professional identity formation among pre-service teachers through multidimensional involvement in partner schools. Teaching practicum (PPL) is often narrowly perceived as a mere instructional exercise; however, field realities reveal a complex and systemic multidimensional involvement. Utilizing a qualitative method with a narrative inquiry approach, this study explores the subjective experiences of a student teacher at SMP Negeri 12 Pematangsiantar. Data were collected through participant observation, practicum reports, and narrative reflections compiled over a twelve-week period. The results indicate that the student undergoes a process of "becoming a teacher" through a dialectic between the pedagogical idealism of the university and the structural pragmatism of the school. Involvement extending beyond classroom boundaries—encompassing character internalization, administrative management, and learning resource organization—functions as an authentic laboratory for constructing professional identity. The study concludes that multi-tasking demands are not merely technical obstacles but transformative instruments that mature the self-efficacy and ethical commitment of future educators. The implications of this research emphasize the importance of repositioning teaching practicum programs as dynamic spaces for identity negotiation in facing the complexities of the educational ecosystem.

Abstract

Music has long been recognized as a powerful educational tool in promoting emotional engagement and enhancing language learning motivation. However, few studies have explored how religious or emotionally expressive songs can be used effectively in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) classrooms, especially within secondary education contexts. This study aims to analyze students’ perceptions toward the use of Beyoncé’s song “Ave Maria” as a medium to motivate English language learning at SMP Cinta Rakyat 3 Pematangsiantar. Employing a descriptive qualitative method, data were collected through classroom observations, open-ended questionnaires, and semi-structured interviews with eighth-grade students. The findings revealed that students demonstrated positive perceptions toward the use of the song, as its melody, emotional tone, and meaningful lyrics enhanced their understanding of vocabulary, pronunciation, and moral values. Moreover, the integration of music created a relaxed and enjoyable classroom atmosphere, which significantly increased students’ enthusiasm and participation. In conclusion, this study suggests that incorporating emotionally rich music, such as “Ave Maria,” can serve as an effective pedagogical tool to foster motivation and engagement in EFL learning environments.
