Abstract

A qualitative study has been conducted to explore and encourage Indonesian EFL teachers’ professional well-being using positive psychology. It used thematic analysis approach to scrutinize participants’ well-being and their perception of PP toward their teaching practices during the covid 19 outbreak. By having 4 participants, CATI (Computer Assisted-telephone Interview) was administered to do a semi structured interview since the mobilization was still low during the pandemic. The analyses disclosed that the 5 pillar components of PP or known as PERMA, namely, positive and negative emotions, engagement, relationship, meaningfulness, and achievement were found in participants’ responses to flourish their professional well-being. The results highlight that some elements of PERMA such as accomplishments and meaningfulness are not obtained yet since the participants are still in the process of achieving their most significant goals in their teaching career. Nevertheless, the other three elements, namely, positive emotion, engagement and relationship depicted clearly that all of them are stronger predictors in fulfilling their professional well being. Moreover, the distinctive learning environment, years of teaching, institutional policies and participants’ L1 did not show significant differences on how participants nurture their professional well-being. Thus, it is underlined that an EFL teacher’s professional well-being is not only acknowledged as a personal and subjective occurrence, but it is also influenced by collective and social phenomena in the EFL teacher’s teaching environment. Implications and profound understandings were discussed in this study. HIGHLIGHTS: The analyses disclosed that the 5 pillar components of PP or known as PERMA, namely, positive and negative emotions, engagement, relationship, meaningfulness, and achievement were found in participants’ responses which flourish their professional well-being. The distinctive learning environment, years of teaching, institutional policies and participants’ L1 did not show significant differences on how participants nurture their professional well-being. Higher professional well-being of an educator can contribute to greater work performance by providing teachers with a sense of purpose, meaning, and fulfillment in their work.

Abstract

The disruption and development of technology has rapidly transformed the educational system these days. Its practicality has driven students to equip themselves with technological devices and software, particularly those with Artificial-intelligence. This study aimed at identifying students’ perspective on the implementation of Artificial-Intelligence Powered App as Learning Aid in Improving Learning Autonomy. Specifically, this study identified whether or not the use of Artificial-Intelligence Powered App as Learning Aid could change learners’ perspective on autonomous learning and improve their learning autonomy. Further, the perspective being investigated is related to learners perspective on their role in fostering autonomy as well as learners’ perspective toward the teachers’ role. The researchers conducted the study by following a collaborative action research. The data of the study were collected using questionnaires and semi structured interview. Then, the results of the questionnaires were analyzed quantitatively and the results of the interview were analyzed qualitatively. This study finds out that incorporating artificial intelligence powered apps has successfully changed learners’ perspective on autonomous learning. Besides, the use of artificial intelligence powered app also works positively in fostering learners’ autonomy. Since this study was conducted using action research method, the result of the study cannot be generalized to a larger population. Thus, an experimental study that apply inferential statistics analysis is needed to support the results of the study. HIGHLIGHTS: One of the challenges in fostering learner autonomy is making them understand of the need to be autonomous. Learners initially thought that teachers should spoon-feed them the learning materials. AI powered apps like Mondly has the potential to help students understand their roles and teacher’s roles during learning by providing them features that encourage autonomous learning activities, such as planning, monitoring and evaluating their learning.

Abstract

This study investigated the independent language learning that Indonesian nursing students did after school on YouTube. Six undergraduate nursing students who have a lot of experience with YouTube viewing and have level of English equal to B1 were asked to participate in a one-on-one interview to discuss their opinions of this selfregulated language learning. A narrative inquiry design was deployed to explore the stories of how learners felt about this technologically mediated language learning and how it affected their language skills. The results show that discovering motivation for learning English, searching for extra learning materials, and potential metacognitive learning styles were the three most popular reasons for studying English on YouTube. Students perceived that learning English on YouTube was more flexible, entertaining, and approachable than traditional classroom instruction. However, this informal education does not promote socialization or an awareness of cultural differences between nations. The findings have made a significant contribution to the futureinstructional design of ESP classroom where the integration of YouTube videos may become an alternative for more engaging ESP classroom interaction. Besides, promoting awareness of cultural diversities and appropriate online social interaction need to be considered for YouTube mediated learning activities to help students use the language appropriately within its socio-cultural settings. HIGHLIGHTS: The three most common motivations for nursing students to learn English on YouTube were finding motivation, looking for additional resources, and potential metacognitive learning approaches. The integration of YouTube videos may become an alternative for more engaging ESP classroom interaction. To assist students utilize the language effectively within its socio-cultural settings, YouTube-mediated learning activities need to take fostering awareness of cultural diversity and acceptable online social interaction into account.
