Abstract

This study investigates the relationships among the Big Five Personality Traits, online learning satisfaction, and learning motivation in the context of Indonesian secondary education. The objective is to examine how personality traits influence students’ satisfaction and motivation in virtual learning environments, addressing the gap in understanding these dynamics in younger learners. Employing a correlational quantitative research design, the study involved 149 ninth-grade students from an Islamic junior high school in Indonesia. Data were collected using three validated instruments: The Big Five Inventory Questionnaire, Learner Satisfaction Survey, and English Motivation Questionnaire. Pearson Product-Moment correlation analysis was used to determine the relationships among the variables. The findings reveal strong positive correlations between online learning satisfaction and learning motivation (r = 0.955), the Big Five Personality Traits and satisfaction (r = 0.986), and personality traits and motivation (r = 0.950). Conscientiousness, agreeableness, and openness to experience emerged as significant predictors of satisfaction and motivation. These results highlight the importance of creating supportive and adaptive online learning environments tailored to individual differences. However, the study is limited by its single-school setting and reliance on self-reported data. Future research should expand to diverse educational contexts and explore additional moderating factors. This study recommends designing inclusive virtual learning environments that integrate personality-based teaching strategies to enhance engagement and learning outcomes.

Abstract

This study explores the effectiveness of Quizizz in enhancing critical reading skills among veterinary students in an ESP (English for Specific Purposes) course. Using a descriptive qualitative research design, the study involved 90 veterinary students from a private university who regularly use Quizizz for reading practice. Data were collected through surveys and semi-structured interviews, focusing on students' experiences, benefits, and challenges. The responses were analyzed using thematic analysis to identify key patterns related to learning effectiveness and obstacles. The results indicate that Quizizz enhances engagement, motivation, and reading comprehension by integrating gamified features such as instant feedback, leaderboards, and interactive questions. However, the study also found limitations in fostering deeper critical reading skills, as the platform primarily supports surface-level comprehension rather than higher-order thinking. Challenges such as technical issues, lack of personalized feedback, and stress from competition were also noted. To address these challenges, the study suggests integrating discussion-based activities, incorporating instructor feedback, balancing competition with collaboration, and designing questions that promote analytical thinking. Future research should explore how adaptive learning technologies and AI-driven tutoring can further support critical reading skills in veterinary ESP courses. Keywords: Quizizz, veterinary students, critical reading, gamification, digital learning,

Abstract

The development of digital technology in recent decades has influenced English education, especially in teaching vocabulary. Several previous studies have been investigated that focus on teaching vocabulary challenges through technology. However, all of those studies do not touch on the use of technology in special needs students. This study investigated the teachers’ challenges in developing students with special needs through technology. A qualitative approach with a case study design was used in this study. This study involved six EFL female teachers who taught students with special needs in one of the inclusive schools in Central Java, Indonesia, with several criteria, including having at least five years of experience in learning by using technology for teaching children with special needs, one of which is in the context of teaching vocabulary to students with special needs themselves. A semi-structured interview was designed to collect the data to obtain detailed information about teachers' barriers to using technology to develop students with special needs vocabulary. Thematic analysis was conducted to analyze the qualitative data in some steps: transcription of the interviews, identification of the main themes, coding, categorizing the themes, and making a conclusion. The study's findings indicated that teachers faced three main challenges: students’ concentration, engagement, and language.

Abstract

Teachers play an essential role in the field of education. Their identities are crucial to the teaching profession. In the wide range of literary works, especially books or novels, teachers often appear as a character.

This novel tells the story of a young teacher's journey in a remote area of Japan during World War II. One research question was raised, “how is the teacher identity depicted in the Sakae Tsuboi: Twenty-Four Eyes?” Qualitative research, specifically document analysis was used to explore the teacher identity in this novel. The researchers also implemented a close reading method to gain a deeper understanding about the related topic. The data was carefully analyzed using thematic analysis. The use of a Social Role Theory (SRT) helps the researchers to interpret the text. It showed that social relations happening will affect feelings, thoughts, and behaviors. Based on the text, the researchers concluded three themes appeared as the identity from the teacher; teacher as an educator, as an inspirator, as a challenger, and as oppressed. It is hoped that through the result of the research, teachers, educators, or even scholars can gain meaningful insight related to identity.

Abstract

This study investigates the introduction of javanese vitality in Solo, Central Java, a region celebrated for its linguistic diversity and cultural richness. A significant gap in literature exists in understanding the interplay of sociolinguistic factors such as age, gender, and education on language usage. In this regard, the study intends to assess the current situation with the languages of Solo and the factors that come into play in their preservation and passing on. In this case, the mixed tool included the method of interviewing 40 informants from various populations in order to collect data. Details indicate that domestic languages are mainly used in homes and informal contexts while the Indonesian language was used mostly in formal and public settings. Such developments which are said to be caused by the change of generations, education, and urbanization, highlight the tendency towards the heavy compartmentalization of language usage among generations. Major conclusions report the weakening of the generational shift paradigm and the global tourist trend as one of the stimulating factors for the shift of the language. The focus of the conclusion is on the role of local communities and authorities in implementation of such measures to maintain language diversity and sustain the cultural identity tied to mother tongues. By addressing these challenges, the study contributes to the broader discourse on language preservation in multilingual societies.

Abstract

The Minister of Education of the Republic of Indonesia introduced the Merdeka Curriculum in 2022, which emphasizes fostering self-regulated learners by adopting a student-centered approach tailored to their interests and needs. Self-regulated learning (SRL) is established as a core competency standard across educational levels, from primary to high school. Despite its significance, EFL teachers face challenges in promoting SRL in the classroom. This study aimed to identify these challenges using a multiple-case study method, which is well-suited for examining complex issues in real-world contexts. The findings revealed notable differences in students' self-regulation capabilities within the same classroom, making it difficult for teachers to manage groups with varying levels of SRL. Additionally, the lack of continuous training and professional development further hinders teachers’ ability to support SRL effectively. Another challenge identified was the prioritization of subject matter instruction over SRL due to the curriculum’s rigid content and pedagogical framework. These findings highlight the need for more flexible curriculum designs and enhanced teacher training programs to address the challenges of implementing SRL in EFL classrooms
