Abstract

The purpose of this research was to examine undergraduates' understanding of the central tendency measure from a decision-making perspective. The research adopted a qualitative method by employing an interview and test to obtain the data.  It enrolled 93 undergraduate students who had previously studied basic statistics and applied statistics. Four students were selected for interviews out of the 93 participants. The analysis model used included data condensation, data visualization, and conclusion and verification. A large number of students were unable to provide explanations for their decisions. The majority of students related the test with the necessity of calculating an average or selecting a more straightforward measure. None of the students was aware of the presence and effect of outliers in the data. The undergraduate students demonstrated a lack of awareness of the factors that could influence their decision-making. The students did not consider other variables. The majority of them were unaware of the benefits and drawbacks of using mean, median, and mode to describe data.

Abstract

Many experts argue that the digital divide has shifted from a gap in access to a gap in the skill to use information and communication technology (ICT). However, some people still have difficulties in getting access to ICT despite the advancement and increasing access and affordability of technology. Reflecting on this problem, this study aimed at finding out whether the digital divide between the lecturers and students of English as a Foreign Language existed and in what aspects the digital divide happened. This research was quantitative, with the data collected through an online survey involving 12 lecturers and 88 students in their third year. The findings revealed that both the gap in access and the gap in use existed between both groups. The result calls for the attention of the stakeholders and policymakers on the improvement of the quality of access to ICT as well as on the advancement in the use of technology, especially for the teachers so that they can keep up with the younger generation.

Abstract

Teachers’ beliefs and their roles in the classroom may change over time as they are more informed about the profession from their own experiences, from their colleagues, and from their continuing education. In this study we investigated teachers’ beliefs and roles at 10 Christian schools in East Java, Indonesia to see how their beliefs influence their professional identity development. The data were collected from 107 teachers who participated in semi-structured interviews and who wrote reflective essays as a part of their career development program. The data were analyzed in the framework of narrative inquiry to see the emergent themes. The findings suggest that the most salient beliefs among the participating teachers are the beliefs which are based on their Christian affiliation. These salient beliefs and Christian identity of the teachers could enhance their positive image as teachers and could motivate them to be better teachers. However, the salient religious identity may also be able to be hindrance for teacher agency to solve problems in their practices as the beliefs can be the shielding for their reluctance to change.

Abstract

Gender equality and women empowerment have become a buzzword for development during the past decades with numerous national and international policies, including educational policies. However, gender equality is normally conceptualized in quantitative terms of education such as low disparity in access to education between boys and girls while qualitative aspects of gender equality are still left uncontested, among which is gender stereotypes in hidden curriculum. Gender stereotypes as a social construct, once imbedded in education and educational materials, certainly intervene the gender socialization process of students. The paper attempts to investigate this issue by employing a mixed qualitative and quantitative content analysis of the illustrations in English textbooks for Upper-secondary students in Vietnam. The analysis reveales stereotypes reflected in three main areas: occupations, sports and pastimes, and life duties, all of which confirm social and cultural norms of Vietnamese society towards a woman.

Abstract

Metaphorming is a new way of brainstorming that covers all aspects and complexity of students’ creative thinking skills. This approach enhances fast-thinking ability and creativity, allowing them to connect something that is known with a new one for better problem-solving. The purpose of this study was to conduct a systematic review on how to improve students’ writing skills through a metaphorming approach. The methodology used was the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA). Furthermore, the writing skills were examined using a metaphorming approach from 5 databases with several articles, including 143, 58, 4, 198, and 23 from Microsoft Academic, Scopus, JSTOR, crossref, and EBSCO, respectively. This study’s results analyzed 11 focus studies related to metaphorming effects. The study strategy was developed by formulating the problem, combining descriptors and keywords, and the year of publication. To choose the correct studies for review, three independent reviewers carried out abstract and full-text selection and research analysis. In this regard, 426 articles were obtained, though only 43 were selected for review. The results showed that mapping the metaphorming approach could improve writing skills. Therefore, this study provides valuable information about the metaphorming approach for better writing skills and can also be used to examine learning and teaching materials development.

Abstract

The purpose of this article is to explain the fundamental element that helps develop effective communication between parents and late adolescents. While undergoing academic activities in higher education, late adolescents often experience various academic stresses. To deal with these, late adolescents need to communicate with their parents as their closest relatives. This way, they can get positive support to be more motivated and responsible in academic activities. Late adolescents - parents good communication may also reduce learning burnout and depression. However, the types of communication that occurred are not as expected. It does not provide the right solutions, and it makes late adolescents feel judged, unrespected and even causes conflicts. Therefore, parents and adolescents need to know the fundamental element to develop effective communication between them. Through literature review as the preliminary research conducted to determine what elements can develop effective communication, findings showed that mindfulness is the fundamental element in developing effective communication between parents and their late adolescents who are experiencing academic stress in higher education.

Abstract

Abrupt change into virtual classroom teaching due to the COVID-19 pandemic has forced teachers to switch to teaching roles different from the conventional classroom. Facing this unprecedented condition, many teachers have experienced confusion in switching to appropriate roles in order to engage their students in the learning process. This study explores Indonesian EFL teachers’ roles during online teaching activities and possible challenges in having teaching practices amid pandemics. Data for this qualitative study were generated from virtual classroom observations, field notes and semi-structured interviews of two high school teachers. Borrowing the lens of Alvarez et al. (2009) and Harmer (2007) for analysis, the study identified different design/planning, social and cognitive roles of Indonesian EFL teachers such as controller, prompter and resource. While exploring more relevant roles, teachers also faced some constraints in running online teaching practices like poor internet connection and the lack of face-to-face interaction during the process of teaching and learning practices. In conclusion, Indonesian EFL teachers can still perform designer/planning, social and cognitive roles. However, their specific roles are limited to controller, prompter and resource only due to the obstacles involved in the virtual classrooms.

Abstract

The use of a mobile learning management system (LMS) has engendered pros and cons concerning the effects on influencing the students’ self-regulated learning (SRL). A large number of research studies concerning mobile-LMS have been done in the past decades. Studies have also demonstrated that the use of mobile LMS can facilitate the users as it can be conveniently accessed anywhere with their mobile phones. However, those studies have not comprehensively discussed the results of the students' mobile-LMS on their self-regulated learning development. Hence, this research aims to investigate the use of mobile learning management systems, specifically mobile Moodle, to support the students' self-regulated learning. An ex-post-facto research study was used to gather the respondents' data after they experienced the mobile Moodle and the relationship to the SRL development. The respondents were 15 students from English Education Master Program, Yogyakarta, Indonesia. Further, the questionnaires and interviews were used to gather and analyze the data. The results showed that most of the graduate students were facilitated by the use of mobile Moodle to develop their self-regulated learning. The result showed that the features, namely, upcoming events, messages, and chats, positively related to the students’ SRL construction. However, the participants highlighted the easiness of using reminder and notification features since some of the students cannot receive the notification directly to their phones. Thus, the mobile Moodle developer should improve it to maximize its benefit in influencing students’ SRL.

Abstract

Reading and writing difficulties (RWD) in learners pose significant challenges not just for children but also for parents. While there is limited support available for children with RWD and their parents in Mauritian schools, research may reveal areas of parental need that speech-language therapists may address. The aim was to determine parents’ perspectives regarding their Grade 4 children with RWD in mainstream government schools in Mauritius. Teachers identified children with RWD with the Screening Tool for Learning Disorder, and parents were requested to participate in the study. Sixty-seven parents completed a questionnaire investigating their perspectives on the symptoms and causes of their child’s RWD and the ways in which they assist their child. The screening tool differentiated between children at risk of specific learning disorder (SLD) and children who indicated clear symptoms of SLD. The results of the tool did not correspond closely with the participants’ satisfaction with their child’s academic performance. The majority of participants could, however, identify RWD in their children when descriptions were given. Parents mostly cited laziness as the main cause of their child’s RWD. The results showed that participants had limited information about the causes and symptoms of RWD and SLD. There is a lack of awareness about the role of speech-language therapists in the intervention of RWD. There are limited resources and support for children with RWD, despite an inclusive education policy in Mauritius. Speech-language therapists and teachers should collaborate to support children with RWD and their parents using inclusive education strategies.

Abstract

Students’ ability to regulate their own learning is the key to learning in the twenty-first century, particularly in online learning environments during a pandemic situation. Studies have indicated the significant contribution of Self-regulated learning (SRL) to academic success. This current study sought to understand and describe students’ perceptions and behavior in response to online teaching instructions designed in the light of SRL theories. The instructional support was designed following the principles of SRL from a social cognitive researcher. Twenty-five undergraduate students participated in this study. The data was obtained from questionnaires, tests, and observation. The learning activities were conducted in an E-learning platform provided by the university, Google Forms, and virtual meetings. The results from the questionnaire showed that explicit instructional supports effectively encouraged students to employ SRL skills in their learning process. Albeit, the data from observation described that only some of the SRL skills were acquired and developed during online instructions, and some skills still needed time to develop due to the fact that students were at the first level of SRL. The students in this study still need more exercises and practices to support them in continually developing their SRL skills. In future interventions, students should be trained to acquire self-assessment and task-selection skills. This study suggests providing explicit instructional support to assist university students with low-level or minimal SRL capacity in developing SRL capacity.
