Abstract

Digitalization in education seeks to enhance the effectiveness of dynamic education, aligning with one of the driving school interventions: school digitalization. The sekolah penggerak program, implemented for four years, is a government effort to improve the quality of education in Indonesia. Since the implementation of school digitalization, the learning quality data in the sekolah penggerak education report has been labeled “medium” with an average achievement score of 58.02. Furthermore, there has been a general decline in the quality of learning since 2023 in elementary school units, as evidenced by the Samarinda City education report card for 2024. Therefore, it is imperative to evaluate the school digitalization intervention program. The research methodology employed is program evaluation using the CIPP model. The population of this study consisted of the 10 first-generation sekolah penggerak program. The willing participants in this research were 7 schools, with informants comprising 7 school principals, 7 lower-class teachers, and 14 upper-class teachers. The research findings revealed that the program was largely aligned with the government’s targets. However, several obstacles were identified. Notably, the provision of facilities and infrastructure was incomplete, and some educators lacked the necessary competency in digital education.

Abstract

The present phenomenological study discovers the lived experiences of English education graduates pursuing non-teaching careers (any professional roles that do not involve teaching students in formal educational settings). By conducting in-depth interviews with three participants, their lived experiences uncovered the interaction between non-teaching career exploration, appealing job opportunities, interest-driven career decisions, career choice consistency, self-efficacy, confidence, career growth, and development opportunities, which guided them to pursue their non-teaching careers. They considered intrinsic factors (self-efficacy and confidence, personal goals, personal interest, personal development, and outcomes expectations), along with extrinsic factors (financial stability, teaching limitations, career prospect, workload vs. compensation, continued engagement with educational background) in deciding their careers. The skills from English education such as teaching, communication, critical thinking, problem-solving, and English skills are applicable to help them adapt to their non-teaching career. The findings prove the adaptability of English education graduates in managing job market difficulties and diverse applications of their educational experiences. By having these facts this study informs higher education institutions and English education programs to support and guide the English education graduates as they fit for diverse career paths.

Abstract

This study explores the implementation of reflective teaching practices by an English lecturer instructing non-English major students and examines its contributions to professional development and classroom engagement. Reflective teaching involves a continuous cycle of self-assessment, adaptation, and improvement, which enables educators to refine their teaching methodologies to better meet students' needs. Using a qualitative case study approach, this research employed multiple data collection methods, including reflective journals, semi-structured interviews with the lecturer and students, and non-participant classroom observations. The findings indicate that reflective teaching significantly enhances lecturer self-awareness, fostering a more adaptive, student-centered instructional approach. By regularly analyzing his teaching methods and incorporating student feedback, the lecturer was able to create a more engaging and inclusive learning environment. Students reported increased motivation, participation, and comprehension as a result of these pedagogical adjustments. Even though the study found some benefits, it also found some problems that can make it hard to use reflective practices consistently. These problems include a lack of time and too much administrative work that should be done by the lecturer. The research underscores the importance of integrating reflective teaching into professional development programs to promote a culture of continuous learning among educators. Additionally, it highlights the need for further studies involving diverse educational settings to explore the long-term impacts of reflective teaching on both instructors and students. By addressing these gaps, future research can contribute to the development of more effective and sustainable approaches for incorporating reflection into higher education teaching practices

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to validate the students’ readiness of online learning questionnaire based on previous research, conceptualized in attitudes toward learning aspects. Six dimensions of attitudes toward learning aspects comprised of learning flexibility (LF), attitude online learning (OL), online interaction (OI), study management (SM), technology (TE), classroom learning (CL), and readiness of blended learning (RBL). 243 secondary students in a rural area in Bali participated in this study. Google form was delivered after the participants agree to join the study and filled the consent form. The data were analysed using exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) to assess the hypotheses. The findings showed that a four-correlated model including attitudes toward study management, classroom learning, learning flexibility, and readiness of blended learning factors was validated by the results of EFA and CFA. Internal reliability confirmed the consistency factors, the validity provided evidence for significance relationships between them. Unlike previous study’s findings, this study discovered that attitudes toward online learning, attitudes toward technology, and attitudes toward online interaction are not essential elements of students’ readiness for online learning. This finding highlights pedagogical aspects, which turn into the essential idea in determining how prepared students are for online learning. The result can only be generalized to other areas of Indonesia through further researches

Abstract

This study explored the perceptions of pre-service EFL students regarding the role of drama play in enhancing their speaking fluency. Speaking fluency is a critical skill for Indonesian EFL learners, particularly for those preparing to be educators. Despite the integration of drama-based learning in language education many existing methods focus on memorization and scripted dialogues, which may not adequately foster spontaneous speaking skills. This study uses a qualitative phenomenological approach and collects data using semi-structured interviews and journals from pre-service teachers in Samarinda. The study found that drama play significantly enhanced students’ confidence, vocabulary, and pronunciation. However, while scripted drama enhances structured speech fluency, they did not significantly improve students' ability to engage in spontaneous conversations. In contrast, improvisational elements of drama play were perceived as more effective in promoting real-time communicative competence. This study highlights the need for a balanced approach that integrates both scripted and unscripted drama techniques to optimize speaking fluency in EFL education. These findings provide valuable insights for educators and curriculum developers focused on developing strategies to improve learners’ communicative skills in English.

Abstract

Several Private Higher Education Institutions (PHEIs) in Indonesia are innovating by integrating Project-Based Learning (PBL) to enhance student job readiness and meet the evolving demands of the labor market and industry. PBL allows students to apply theoretical knowledge in real-world contexts while developing essential 21st-century skills such as critical thinking, creativity, and collaboration. This study combined a comprehensive literature review of global PBL trends and best practices including models from MIT, Stanford, the Erasmus program, Australia, and Finland with case studies involving interviews with faculty, students, and industry representatives. Findings show that PBL significantly improves student skills and curriculum relevance through strengthened academic-industry collaboration: 85% of students reported gains in practical skills like project management, 78% improved professional skills such as communication and work ethic, 90% advanced technical skills, and 75% enhanced non-technical skills including teamwork and leadership. From the industry perspective, 80% of companies rated PBL-trained graduates as more job-ready, with 70% noting faster adaptation to workplace demands. Successful PBL implementation depends on faculty empowerment, adequate infrastructure, and strong industry partnerships, though challenges such as limited resources and the need for ongoing faculty development remain. These results support recommendations for curriculum reform and policy development focused on structured project modules, expanded industry collaboration, and continuous educator training, positioning PBL as a vital approach to bridging theory and practice and aligning higher education with modern labor market needs.

Abstract

Teacher performance refers to the ability of educators to effectively and efficiently fulfill their duties and responsibilities to achieve predetermined learning objectives. This study was conducted on 30 teachers from three public junior high schools in Tanjung Redeb District, Berau Regency at SMP Negeri 1, SMP Negeri 5, and SMP Negeri 6 to examine the influence of the work environment, work motivation, and collaborative learning practices on teacher performance in these schools. The findings revealed significant correlations between a conducive work environment (Mean = 104.30), strong teacher work motivation (Mean = 62.70), effective collaborative learning practices (Mean = 78.40), and teacher performance (Mean = 132.90). The purpose of this research was to identify factors influencing teacher effectiveness in public junior high schools in Berau Regency, where challenges related to teacher motivation are frequently encountered. Data collection was conducted using questionnaires validated through Product Moment and tested for reliability using Cronbach's Alpha (ranging from 0.586 to 0.955). A linearity test confirmed a significant relationship between the work environment and teacher performance (F = 16.931, p = 0.006). Based on data from the sampled teachers, overall teacher performance was rated high, with an average score of 132.90 well above the theoretical mean of 80 indicating a high level of effectiveness among the participants. Individual scores ranged from 82 to 159, with good teaching quality contributing to a positive learning environment and improved student outcomes in these schools. A supportive work environment emerged as a crucial factor in enhancing teacher performance. To sustain and further improve teacher effectiveness, schools should continue enhancing facilities, providing support to teachers, and fostering collaborative learning practices that benefit both educators and students alike

Abstract

This comprehensive study examines the influence of academic supervision, work motivation, and collaborative learning practices on teacher performance in three public senior high schools in Berau Regency. Using a quantitative approach with cluster random sampling, the research involved 159 teachers from three accredited "A" schools out of a total population of 280 teachers across five schools. Data collection was carried out through validated and reliable questionnaires, and the data were analyzed using multiple linear regression techniques.      The results reveal that academic supervision significantly affects teacher performance, accounting for 35% of the variance, with work motivation contributing an additional 6.9%. Similarly, collaborative learning practices exert an influence comparable to that of academic supervision, also at 35%. Collectively, these factors explain 35% of the variability in teacher performance, with the remaining influence attributed to other unmeasured factors.   This study underscores the importance of a synergistic approach, where academic supervision provides constructive feedback, incentives motivate teachers, and collaborative learning fosters ongoing professional development. Recommendations include enhancing academic supervision through targeted training for school principals, implementing performance-based rewards by local governments, and establishing sustainable collaborative learning programs within schools to promote innovation and continuous improvement in teaching practices. The findings serve as valuable input for educational policymakers in Berau Regency and contribute to the broader goal of elevating the quality of education in Indonesia. The research highlights the critical role of effective supervision, motivation, and collaborative practices in fostering high-performing teachers and improving educational outcomes

Abstract

School-Based Management (SBM) is an educational management approach that grants schools autonomy to manage resources and make independent decisions by involving principals, teachers, parents, and the community to improve education quality. This study aims to describe the implementation of SBM at Linggang Bigung Public Senior High School as a strategic effort to enhance school quality. Using a qualitative approach with a case study method, the research focuses on the planning, implementation, evaluation, and supervision processes of SBM at SMAN 1 and SMAN 2 Linggang Bigung. Data were collected through interviews with principals, teachers, students, and parents, as well as through documentation analysis related to SBM implementation. The findings indicate that the implementation of SBM successfully created a learning environment more relevant to the needs of students and the community, while also increasing transparency and accountability in school management. Evaluations conducted at both schools showed significant achievements in academic performance and student character development. However, follow-up actions on evaluation results still require optimization, particularly in strengthening corrective measures and improving facilities and infrastructure. Furthermore, the principals’ leadership, characterized by adaptive and transformational styles, effectively motivated teachers and staff to innovate in teaching practices. In conclusion, active participation from all stakeholders—including teachers, students, parents, and school committees plays a crucial role in reinforcing SBM implementation, which in turn contributes to comprehensive improvements in education quality.
