Abstract

The research investigated the cohesive devices used in EFL students' recount texts and the problems encountered during their writing. 33 high school students' essays were analyzed, and the students were interviewed. The findings showed that all five types of cohesive devices appeared in the students' writings, with reference the most, followed by a conjunction, lexical cohesion, ellipsis, and substitution the least. Three types of cohesive devices were identified as problematic to the students: conjunction, reference, and lexical cohesion. Four reasons were further found for the students' difficulty in using the cohesive devices: pure error, absence of knowledge, overuse, and lack of writing practice. These findings may give new insights for language teachers in the attempt to understand the causes that lead to cohesion problems in students' writing so that proper measures can be taken to address them and improve the quality of their writing generally.

Abstract

The pandemic has adversely affected teaching practicum as a culminating activity of pre-service teacher training. Teacher education institutions were forced to transform their programs into flexible modalities rapidly. In this participatory action research, the institutional remote practicum program was developed according to the preparation, actualization, mentoring, and evaluation phases. The researchers used qualitative and mixed-method strategies in certain research phases. The data gathered implied that the remote practicum program developed can be an example of how to implement the different guidelines and policies for flexible practice teaching. Pre-service teachers' experiences in the implementation of the research seem to indicate that the program is responsive to their preparations as beginning teachers. The results also imply that the program's performance is efficient and effective.

Abstract

Poetry becomes Rupi Kaur’s way of expressing her feelings based on her self-experiences. The young Indian poet girl puts on her life story in poetry books Milk and Honey the Sun and Her Flowers and Home Body. This research tries to reveal the subaltern’s voice portrayed in Kaur’s selected poems as a reflection of multicultural education. The research was a qualitative utilizing Spivak’s Subaltern theory. It was found that Kaur was the victim of hatred by the Sikh tribe who then immigrated to Canada. By living in a new environment, Kaur who previously dominated in her origin country tries to speak up about her bitter experiences and trauma, being raped by her uncle and determined by all men to keep silent in the poem. The poem then becomes media for educating and encouraging people, especially women, to have bravery in facing their trauma and speak to the public to heal the wound. Unfortunately, Kaur’s way of speaking up leads to Western cultural representation. The hegemonic practice of Western culture unconsciously penetrates Kaur’s way of thinking. All in all, the subaltern woman cannot be apart from the determination.

Abstract

Nowadays, foreign language education relies heavily on digital technology. A growing emphasis on 21st-century skills and massive technological advancements raise more concerns than ever about the competency of English as Foreign Language (EFL) teachers. This study aimed to investigate the level of digital technology readiness among EFL teachers in Indonesia and respondents’ experiences in implementing technology in the education curriculum in Indonesian schools. A quantitative survey of 90 teachers was conducted to observe the teachers’ perceptions and experiences with technology. The study showed that technological advancement has helped teachers teach the English language. The respondents believed that technology could improve the students’ English skills, including speaking, listening, reading, writing, pronunciation, and grammar. This study provided the teachers' perception of the value of using technology in English language learning.

Abstract

Islamic religious education is teaching, guidance, and care for students, who are expected to understand, appreciate, and practice the teachings of Islam and make it a way of life for individuals and society. The Covid-19 pandemic changed the teaching patterns in class, giving birth to distance learning patterns facilitated by digital technology-based online learning media to deliver learning. One of the digital technology-based learning media that can make learning more meaningful is blended learning-based e-modules. This research aimed to develop e-modules based on blended learning that can be used in Islamic Religious Education learning and accessed through devices. The method used in this research was the research and development method with the ADDIE approach, which includes five stages, namely the needs analysis stage, the design stage, the development stage, the implementation stage and the evaluation stage. This e-module is written in a communicative language accompanied by pictures and videos. The e-module contains learning activities following the blended learning syntax. This research was to test the feasibility of the e-module. The validation test assessment was a Likert scale questionnaire with expert respondents (material and media) and trials with teacher and student respondents. The results of this research were blended learning-based e-modules, which were validated and tested. Based on the preliminary research results, the developed e-module was expected to be suitable as a meaningful learning medium for students.

Abstract

This research aimed to determine differences in critical thinking skills and mastery of science concepts between students who followed the STEM-based inquiry learning model and students who follow expository learning. The population in this research was 209 students in a total sample of 81 students determined through a random sampling technique. Critical thinking data were collected by tests, while the concept mastery data were collected by multiple-choice tests. Data were analysed using MANOVA. The results of the data analysis showed that the value of F was 26.848 with a significance value of 0.000 which was less than 0.05. Therefore, there are differences in critical thinking skills and mastery of concepts between students who study STEM-based inquiry learning models and students who study expository learning models.

Abstract

This research aimed to explore the academic transition of Indonesian university students who graduated high school overseas from Qatar to Indonesia, specifically speaking about their experiences and challenges in the academic transition. The research implemented a qualitative design with a narrative approach to get in-depth information on the lives of everyone. This research involved 5 Indonesian university students who had stayed ten years or more in Qatar and studied in Indonesia. The data were collected through a semi-structured interview and documents of reflective writing as supporting data. The data were analyzed by using thematic analysis. The findings revealed that due to the academic transitions from one country to their homeland, the transition was difficult when comparing both education systems in Qatar and Indonesia. Furthermore, no additional classes, or orientation programs were effective in preventing the challenges they faced. The challenges were emotional anxiety, loss of the English language, and peer pressure. Fortunately, this transition phase was not static and could be fixed.

Abstract

The current study aimed to examine the psychometric characteristics of an instrument used to evaluate academic writing creativity and self-efficacy scale among pre-service teachers, instructors, and school teachers. Using a convenience sampling, an adapted and expanded version of  Mitchell’s (2021) situated academic writing self-efficacy (SAWSES) questionnaire was distributed to 655 participants with three different occupation statuses, such as pre-service teacher (N = 315, 485%), TVET instructor (N = 80, 12%), and school teacher (N = 260, 40%). Unfortunately, due to the presence of outliers, of 655 data, only 582 data were used for Rasch statistical analyses, including the analysis of (a) unidimensionality, (b) reliability for the item and the person separation, (c) rating scale, (d) item bias, and (e) item differential function. The analysis of Differential Item Functioning (DIF) resulted that the academic writing creativity and self-efficacy scale could potentially be biased when employed to collect the data from participants with differing teaching statuses and educational backgrounds. These findings thus suggest that caution should be taken when using the Academic Writing Creativity and Self-Efficacy Scale, as highlighted by the results of the current study.
