Abstract

This study aims to identify students’ perceptions and knowledge related to Academic Dishonesty (AD), specifically plagiarism and cheating. This is a survey study. The data were collected using an adapted questionnaire developed by Ledesma (2011); the data were gathered from students whose school applies academic integrity as the basic rules. Nine statements in four domains are included in the questionnaire. Non-probability sampling technique was used in this survey study by involving 122 respondents from various senior high schools. The result shows that students do not perceive Academic Dishonesty (AD) as misconduct. Out of 9 examples of AD, most of the participants agree that cheating is only when they copy their peers’ exact answers on a certain test. Meanwhile, they tend to discount other statements as a form of AD. This research could be an underlying base for stakeholders to know the students’ perception of AD, which eventually will help implement the Indonesia Ministry of Education’s character-building program.

Abstract

English learning is often influenced by several aspects such as attitude and motivation. In fact, not all the students from the English Education Department have a positive attitude and motivation toward the major they are studying. While many studies have been conducted on attitude and motivation among secondary and university students, rarely have we seen a similar study for English Education Department students. Therefore, this study aims to determine English Education students’ attitudes and motivation in learning English. This was a survey study with 183 students participating in this study. This study used a modified version of AMTB (Attitude and Motivation Test Battery) from Gardner to collect the data. The recent version was adapted from Imsa-Ard (2020). There were 34 questions; the questionnaire was divided into five aspects (i.e., personal, emotional, educational, professional, and parental). The data were then analyzed by using SPSS and Microsoft Excel. The results show that English Education students have a positive attitude and motivation toward English. The overall results revealed that the English Education students in this study are highly motivated in the professional aspect. This implied that the professional atmosphere in these institutions should be maintained as it could boost students’ attitudes and motivation.

Abstract

Pre-service teachers’ (PST) learning engagement in online learning as the contributing factor in determining students’ successful learning was less elaborated. It is important to explore the process of having meaningful learning engagement experiences. This study aims at elaborating on how learning engagement and meaning making, as experienced by two pre-service teachers, inspired them to successfully teach online in a variety of student contexts with the tools provided. The participants of this study were two pre-service teachers who participated in teaching internships as a mandatory program from their university. The type of this study was qualitative and was then analyzed by narrative analysis. Through multiple interviews and three months of Instagram stories, this study found two pre-service teachers employed learning engagement, especially cognitive engagement, in their distance learning process. The finding was elaborated into two themes; (1) cognitive engagement as a meaningful experience and (2) shared responsibility to achieve behavioral engagement.

Abstract

This survey study aims to identify EFL undergraduate students’ online self-regulated learning strategies in the process of writing their undergraduate theses during COVID-19 pandemic. 97 senior students agreed to participate in this study. This study used a 24-item questionnaire adapted from Barnard et al. (2009) Online Self- Regulated Learning Questionnaire (OSLQ). The results revealed that the participants’ online self-regulated learning strategies in the process of writing their undergraduate theses from the highest to lowest mean score were: environment structuring, help-seeking, self-evaluation, goal setting, time management, and task strategies. Environment structuring had the highest average score, indicating that undergraduate English Education students were able to choose and arrange places for online learning to minimize distractions so that their learning could run optimally. However, the ability of self- regulated learning strategies in the task strategy domain had the lowest average score. The results displays that in the process of writing undergraduate theses, participants’ ability in task strategies needed to be improved. For further research, the researchers recommend further investigation on the relationship between undergraduate students’ motivation and ability in implementing their self-regulated online learning strategies in writing undergraduate thesis. Future research should also include metacognitive learning strategies and re-examine the relationship of undergraduate students’ online self-regulated learning strategies to their online learning performance in writing undergraduate theses.

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has forced the educational world to switch from offline classes to online classes. Limited access to the internet has encouraged many people to use WhatsApp to teach instead of academic platforms. Although WhatsApp is not designed for educational purposes, many teachers prefer using it to conduct online discussions, including in English classes. This new model of communication using WhatsApp for English classes has resulted in the interesting phenomenon of code-mixing. This paper aims to investigate the types and functions of code-mixing used in WhatsApp groups of online English classes. This study employed a qualitative method. The sample of this research was conversations between the lecturers and students in WhatsApp group chats of online English classes during the pandemic. The data were collected through observation. The collected data were then analyzed by using textual analysis. This study revealed three types of code-mixing used in online English classes on WhatsApp group chats: insertion, alternation, and congruent lexicalization. Next, this study found five functions of code-mixing in online English classes on WhatsApp group chats: quotation, address specification, interjection, message qualification, personalization, and objectification. Address specification, personalization, and objection were dominantly found because specific sentences frequently refer to people, things, or arguments during discussions on WhatsApp group chats.

Abstract

This study aims to identify reading anxiety among junior high school students. The research design employed a quantitative approach in the form of a survey study. There were 80 respondents who were willing to participate in this study. The respondents were students from one of junior high schools in Mataram, Indonesia.  All respondents were students from grades 8 and 9. To collect the data, this study adapted a questionnaire from Ahmad et.al. (2013) which consists of five domains of reading anxiety, i.e., (1) lack of vocabulary, (2) unfamiliar topic, (3) unfamiliar culture, (4) afraid of making errors, and (5) worry about reading effects. Based on the results, the statement with the highest score is “I enjoy reading a text in English text in English when I know its translation” (M=4.15; SD=.730). Meanwhile, the statement with the lowest score is “In reading aloud in the class I do not understand the text even though it is easy” (M=3.00; SD=1.055). The data imply that the most significant factor in students’ reading anxiety is lack of vocabulary and the least factor is worrying about reading effects.

Abstract

Google Docs has been reported by many researchers as a tool that facilitates EFL students’ performance enhancement in writing class, but the facts in using this tool from teachers’ point of view in managing a writing class still lack attention. This article aims to describe how Google Docs can assist EFL teachers in managing writing classes as well as the strategies that can be carried out to optimize the use of this tool. Using narrative inquiry, this study employed a teacher’s narratives and documentation of activities on Google Docs. Thematic coding was done to highlight meaningful experiences. It revealed that Google Docs assisted both students and teachers in terms of proofreading, giving feedback, and recording students’ activities. However, during the use of this tool, sort of challenges might hinder students’ progress, such as students’ ignorance of the helpful features and failure in complying with the instructions. Therefore, English teachers can prepare some strategies i.e. giving clear rules and instructions, having conferences and synchronous interaction more often on Google Docs, and building up students’ responsibility for the learning progress. It implies that technology itself doesn’t guarantee students’ improvement in writing, but teachers’ and students’ ability and responsibility in using the technology contribute more to the progress.
