Abstract

The purpose of this study is to explore students' perception on problems and issues they encountered during the implementation of online learning. Students who live in remote areas at PSDKU MBD UNPATTI were frequently subject to unprecedented hardship in online study. This study employed qualitative descriptive research design where the data was collected through interview, observation and documentation. The result show that although they enjoyed online learning, these students expressed some challenges they faced in online teaching and learning process. The challenges were ranged from infrastructure to digital literacy. They stated that infrastructure factor has been the greatest challenge in their online learning activities. Lack of opportunities to interact with their lecturers have caused ineffectiveness in knowledge gain. These students also sounded the urgent needs for capacity building in regards to technology and digital literacy. These EFL learners are also facing the daunting dual task of learning the material while sharpening their digital capacity. The students who predominantly come from diverse remote areas in Southwest Maluku region are known to be less fortunate as compared to their counterpart students in main campus in Ambon city who have better teaching and learning facilities. Implication borne in the study will be further discussed in this study.

Abstract

The Kampus Mengajar Program, an integral component of Indonesia's Independent Campus initiative, represents a strategic approach to educational enhancement through university student involvement in elementary education. This qualitative study investigated teachers' perceptions regarding the role and impact of Kampus Mengajar students in facilitating the learning process at SD Negeri 84 Ambon. The research employed structured interviews with purposively selected participants, including classroom teachers from grades one through six, a shadow teacher, and the school principal, to gather comprehensive insights into the program's implementation and effectiveness. Data analysis followed a systematic qualitative approach, involving thorough transcription and thematic analysis of interview responses. The findings revealed four key dimensions of program impact: successful implementation of innovative teaching strategies, particularly through technology integration; significant enhancement of student learning outcomes, especially in literacy and digital competencies; development of effective teacher-student collaborative relationships; and improvement in school administrative processes. These outcomes demonstrate the program's effectiveness in enhancing educational quality through structured student involvement while providing valuable insights for future program implementation and educational policy development in Indonesia.

Abstract

The present study investigates authentic assessment practices in speaking lessons at senior high schools in Ambon city, Indonesia. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, the research examined the types of authentic assessment tasks implemented by English as a Foreign Language (EFL) teachers and their perceptions regarding implementation. Data were collected through questionnaires, semi-structured interviews, and document analysis from seven experienced English teachers across three public senior high schools: SMA Negeri 2 Ambon, SMA Negeri 3 Ambon, and SMA Negeri 5 Ambon. The study employed Miles and Huberman's interactive model for data analysis, encompassing data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. Findings revealed that teachers utilized eight distinct authentic assessment tasks: oral interviews, picture-cued descriptions, video clips, information gaps, story/text retelling, role plays, oral reports, and debates. Role-play emerged as the most frequently implemented task, with all participating teachers incorporating it into their speaking assessments. Teachers demonstrated positive perceptions toward authentic assessment, acknowledging its benefits in enhancing student motivation, developing practical skills, and improving learning outcomes. However, implementation challenges persisted, including time constraints with large classes, resource limitations, varying student proficiency levels, and assessment complexity. Recommendations emphasize the need for targeted professional development in authentic assessment methodology, institutional support for resource allocation, and strategic approaches to overcome implementation challenges. This study contributes to the understanding of authentic assessment practices in EFL contexts and provides practical insights for educational stakeholders seeking to enhance speaking assessment methods.

Abstract

This study investigates the integration of critical thinking in writing education through library research design, focusing on the relationship between critical thinking strategies and writing quality enhancement. The research examines four key dimensions: the impact of critical thinking instruction on writing development, the challenges and opportunities in digital writing environments, the complexities of assessing critical thinking in writing, and the synergistic relationship between critical thinking and creativity. The findings reveal that specific critical thinking strategies—particularly argumentation, analysis, and synthesis—significantly enhance students' writing capabilities across educational levels. Digital writing environments, while presenting challenges in information evaluation and ethical considerations, offer valuable opportunities for collaborative learning and immediate feedback. The study also identifies limitations in traditional assessment methods, highlighting the need for alternative approaches such as portfolio-based evaluations and detailed rubrics. Furthermore, the research emphasizes the fundamental connection between critical and creative thinking processes in writing development, demonstrating how their integration fosters analytical rigor and innovative expression. These findings contribute to understanding effective writing instruction in contemporary educational contexts and provide insights for educators developing comprehensive writing programs incorporating critical thinking development.

Abstract

This research explores the implementation of the Merdeka curriculum in early childhood education (PAUD) in Indonesia, which aims to promote holistic development by fostering creativity, critical thinking, and independence. Using a qualitative literature review, this research analyzes existing studies to evaluate the effectiveness, challenges, and impact of the curriculum. Findings show that the curriculum improves learning outcomes, especially in language and social skills, through flexible and adaptive teaching methods. However, challenges such as inadequate teacher training, resistance to change, and unequal access to technology hinder its implementation. This study recommends comprehensive teacher training, clear communication of the curriculum's benefits, and continuous evaluation to overcome these challenges and improve the quality of early childhood education in Indonesia.

Abstract

This study aims to explore the role of English language proficiency, particularly TOEFL scores, in enhancing employment opportunities in the global industrial sector. Globalisation has driven major changes in the way companies operate, and English is now an international language used not only in everyday communication but also in business transactions, negotiations, and strategic decision-making. Along with this development, mastery of English has become one of the main requirements in the recruitment process of many international companies, especially those with operations in various countries. In the global industrial sector, multinational companies look for employees who can communicate well in English as they interact with various parties from different parts of the world. Therefore, good English proficiency, as measured through TOEFL scores, is considered an indicator of an individual's ability to adapt and work effectively in a multinational work environment. This study uses a qualitative approach with in-depth interviews with 25 professionals working in multinational companies operating in various industry sectors, such as technology, finance, and manufacturing. The results show that TOEFL scores are not only used as a parameter in job selection, but also as an important indicator in the assessment of communication skills required in cross-national and cultural interactions. Respondents revealed that a good command of English, as evidenced by a high TOEFL score, opens up more career opportunities, including the chance to get higher positions, greater responsibility, and more competitive salaries. Therefore, this study provides recommendations for individuals to further emphasise mastery of English through the TOEFL test as an effort to increase competitiveness in the global job market, as well as for educational institutions and companies to make more use of TOEFL scores in assessing the qualifications of prospective employees.
