Abstract

The expansion of access to education in Indonesia through new higher education institution or PTN-B gives new hope for the future of education. However, the limited condition of human resources, facilities, and infrastructure management processes of each PTN-B greatly impacts the learning process. The diversity of learning methods is present as an alternative solution to these problems, but is not sufficient to accommodate all learning needs. There are three PTN-B in Aceh, Universitas Teuku Umar, ISBI Aceh, and Universitas Samudra. The three PTN-Bs have carried out a learning process outside the network during the Covid-19 pandemic, but this is a relatively new phenomenon in the era of the COVID-19 pandemic. This is a challenge for PTN-B in Aceh, especially to face the COVID-19 era and anticipate global challenges in the future. This study aims to analyze students' perceptions of the application of online learning at PTN-B in Aceh during the Covid-19 pandemic, as well as to find out the assessment procedures for distance learning that have proven to be effectively applied to students according to the conditions/characteristics of students and the characteristics of learning materials. Then this study will evaluate the online learning process through student perceptions and make recommendations for its implementation. This study uses a literature review approach by emphasizing the analysis on numerical data that is processed by literature review methods.

Abstract

This study purposes the enhancement of Critical Thinking ability for students at Indonesian Open University or Universitas Terbuka (UT) and argues that critical thinking can be effectively implemented for online students to improve their skills during their academic life. If it is successful, Indonesian Open University can be better satisfied with their scholars’ quality and sustainable outcomes. This study employed the literature study approach by obtaining the data and information from relevant previous studies. This study suggested that in order to enhance students’ learning outcomes at UT, the instructors are expected to introduce the concept of critical thinking ability through learning content, instructional methods, practice examples and feedback. It is also suggested that students should be encouraged to participate in collaborative learning to stimulate their higher order thinking. The role of instructors and faculty member in designing engaging learning activities and providing accurate information related to learning management system are considerably crucial.

Abstract

This article aims to discuss the impacts of language testing on someone’s personal life continuance and how language teachers should compromise to this reality and bring out the positive impacts that language testing can have on language learning (positive washback). The rationale of position of language testing in determining the flow of education, job and movement is firstly reviewed and then the cases of language testing impacts on various contexts is explored from previous studies. We then try to point out the main keys to maintain and optimize the positive washback from the existence of language testing. The consideration includes a good coordination between test producers, teachers and test-takers. Teachers, in addition, should provide follow-up teaching activities from the results of the students’ tests.
