Abstract

Educational institutions around the world have closed due to the COVID-19 pandemic endangering the academic agendas. Educational institutions have to shift to online learning platforms to keep the educational activities working. Nonetheless, the questions about the educational leadership strategies and policies of online learning are not clearly understood yet, principally for a developing country like Indonesia, where the technical constrictions like access to the Internet have become a serious issue. In this study, we focused on finding out the leadership strategies and policies of the heads of the postgraduate study programs and looking at the entire cycle in the learning process by looking at the implementation and evaluation of the goals of online learning during the pandemic. The study design was qualitative in the case study approach. Seven participants were willing to get involved in this study. The primary data sources were in-depth interviews with seven participants who are the heads and secretary of the postgraduate program at one public university in Jambi. We examined our interviews data by using within-case and cross-case displays and analyses. We categorized our analysis and discussion about our participants’ perspectives and the contexts in which leadership strategies and policies of online learning they managed emerge. The analysis of our texts revealed that major issues related to the causes and covid-19: the rapid, unpredictable and 'forced' transition from face-to-face teaching to distance or online teaching, leadership strategies and policies in online learning, and evaluating teaching and learning processes: “assessing its achievements and improving upon its effectiveness.” Future education research and implications are also discussed.

Abstract

The adaptive e-learning model is a learning model that developed in blended learning in the Information Systems Project Management (ISPM) course. The development was to improve the quality of the school teachers of Informatics and Computer Management (STMIK) Nurdin Hamzah. The initial study results on the instructors by using the question lattice instrument were in four categories. They were (1) learning organizing strategies, (2) learning delivery strategies, (3) learning management strategies, and (4) learning evaluation in conventional teaching. These showed that the teaching position was in enough category. It needs to increase the teachers’ category by developing a teaching model based on adaptive e-learning to create sustainable learning. This model was expected to increase the teachers’ category and the students’ ability to understand the ISPM course. A study on this model used a descriptive methodology to get students’ responses to the developed adaptive e-learning model. The implementation of this model showed that the students’ responses were very good, and the teachers’ category had also changed from enough to good. It is expected educational institutions can develop this model as a solution during the pandemic.

Abstract

The Corona Virus Disease 2019 (Covid-19) has been determined as pandemic causing schools around the world to be closed. This research aimed to observe the constraints of remote learning in rural areas during the Covid-19 pandemic. This quantitative research involved 280 parents in a rural area of Magelang city, Indonesia. The samples were chosen by using the proportional area random sampling technique. The research data were analyzed statistically and descriptively. The research results show that time allocation and parents’ academic capability accompanying children were the most challenging factors. Moreover, many children have emotional issues while doing assignments at home. Related to school, curricular information to parents and the supply of learning facility assistance were insufficient. Also, the most prominent problems in the role of parents in assisting children in learning were parents’ limited time and their low academic ability which should be considered by policymakers.

Abstract

This research aimed to see the students’ perception in practicing speaking English using the English Domino game. It was conducted using qualitative research with a case study approach. Fifteen students of the English Department at a private university in Muara Bungo were chosen by using purposive sampling. Furthermore, this research used interviews related to their experience and motivation in speaking English with the domino games to collect the data. The results indicated that the students’ motivation in practicing speaking in English increased by using the English domino games. Most of the students felt relaxed and confident to speak while playing English Domino. They were also excited and motivated to take their turns in telling the connected story. This kind of game can be an alternative for teaching English, particularly speaking in a non-English speaking country.

Abstract

Case-based learning has been applied and proven to be effective in increasing students' class participation. However, studies on how this method is used through online learning are still limited. Whereas online learning activities have been done during the Covid-19 pandemic, but most students seem to become passive during an online class. This study investigated students’ perceptions of the case-based learning method and how this method could be effective. Using a mixed-method design, the data were collected through questionnaires in Google forms from 42 students of an online Change Management class and students were asked to write their thoughts and perceptions. The data, then, were analyzed using SPSS software. This study indicated that case-based learning is helpful for students’ academic and characters improvement. The students found the method beneficial because the lecturers implemented the method well. This study suggested that the key success of case-based learning in an online class depends on the lectures and the online learning facilities.

Abstract

Writing an academic article is a must for scholars to fulfil their academic demands. Departed from the input hypothesis proposed by Krashen (2011) saying that input knowledge very matters in language learning and so as in writing an academic article, reading has undoubtedly been agreed to gain language inputs. The pandemic Covid-19 outbreak, recently, forces a face-to-face meeting to the fully virtual mode of learning. Hence, the lecturers are getting another challenge to find another way to cope with online learning. To fill this gap, this study, then, aimed to investigate whether the er-central, an online extensive reading platform by which the students can acquire the input knowledge, can positively contribute to writing scholarly articles in terms of the students’ attitudes towards reading per se. The participants were sophomores of a private university in Indonesia consisting of twenty-seven students taking a required writing course in eight meetings conducted fully virtually, at the end of which a scholarly article must be an outcome for each student. The method used in this study was a mixed-method, the participants were divided into two groups, experimental and control group—seventeen and ten respectively. The data gathered were then both qualitatively and quantitatively analysed to gain the most appropriate information. The result showed that the use of er-central did not significantly affect, though it’s very helpful in improving the students’ attitudes towards reading when writing academic articles. Reflecting on this study, to attain better results the lecturers and future researchers as well should focus more on how the students enjoy reading and on how to promote purposeful reading that is reading for writing an academic article.

Abstract

The development of science and technology facilitates teachers to conduct their learning-teaching processes effectively. However, it does not mean that all conventional media are ineffective at all to be used in the learning-teaching processes. Therefore, this present research aimed to explore the utilization of flashcards as learning-teaching media to improve students' writing performance and to discover students' performance in writing English sentences through flashcards. This research applied action research, employing interviews, observation, and tests to collect qualitative and quantitative data. The qualitative data were analyzed using interpretations, while the quantitative data were analyzed using IBM SPSS version 24.0. The results of qualitative data showed that students were active, enthusiastic, diligent, brave, and motivated in writing English sentences using flashcards. Meanwhile, the quantitative data showed the mean score of the pre-test was 2,86; the post-test I was 3,14, and the post-test II was 3,89. The percentage was 10% from the pre-test to post-test I and 12% from the post-test I to the post-test II. It indicated that the scores and the mean in the post-test II were better than in the post-test I. It proved that using flashcards as a learning-teaching medium is sufficient to enhance students' performance in writing English sentences. This research recommends further research to discover the flashcard utilization in the learning-teaching processes at a different school or educational institution levels and conduct experimental research to seek the effectiveness of flashcards as a medium in t English writing learning-teaching processes.

Abstract

In Indonesia, English is not required for the elementary school students in the current curriculum. This  qualitative case study examines the role of teachers in providing a productive learning environment through classroom activities in English classes at two elementary schools in Jambi, a province in Indonesia.. The productive learning environment is characterised by target-oriented, genuine and real-based learning, encouraging and appealing activities, dynamic and accommodating knowledge formation, autonomous, and contemplative. The data were gathered from observations in 7 classes and teacher interviews. This research revealed that there was not a single meeting that altogether covered the six features of a productive learning environment. Therefore, it is suggested that teachers should understand more about a productive learning environment to empower classroom activities to help students achieve educational goals.

Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the plagiarism phenomenon in thesis proposal writing by EFL students of UIN Raden Fatah Palembang through their perceptions. The data of this qualitative case study were obtained through interviews with the research participants. They were selected based on the results of the Turnitin plagiarism checker for their thesis proposals. Thematic analysis was carried out to analyze the research data. We found that the students had similar perceptions of plagiarism, both in general and academic writing contexts, but they had various perceptions of the forms of plagiarism. Some of them were unaware of committing plagiarism in their thesis proposals. They were familiar with the term paraphrasing to avoid plagiarism, but they could not paraphrase the quotations properly in writing their proposals. Unawareness about plagiarism, lack of knowledge and practice for proper paraphrasing, getting stuck while writing, laziness in writing, and easiness of getting information from the internet were the main contributing factors why they committed plagiarism in their works.
