Abstract

Learner autonomy is mandated to be developed by the newest Curriculum of 2013. This research explored the use of E-Portfolio to develop learner autonomy especially in the area of leaner involvement, reflection, and target language use. The mixed method design involving the quantitative and qualitative data was used in this research. The data itself was collected in the naturalistic settings of two vocational high school classes. The two classes were taken from the population which consisted of 440 participants. Inventory tests were specifically designed to measure changes in the participants both before and after a writing program applying e-portfolio documents was given. Meanwhile, document analysis was used to indicate the development of learner autonomy in writing. The results of the initial inventory test show that the profile of initial autonomy development of the population was moderate which indicates that the participants had not yet reached the optimum capacity to carry active involvement, reflection, and target language use in writing it means that a type of preventive intervention such as that of e-portfolio was needed. Whereas, the results of the intervention or experimental study and document analysis suggest that there was an improvement regarding the degree of learner autonomy development. In this case, the results indicated that the requirements of the e-portfolio for the participant to constantly use the target language may have possibly supported the initial autonomy development in writing, while the participants’ independence in deciding aspects of writing in the e-portfolio may play a role in supporting the constructs of learner autonomy especially in terms of learner involvement, and lastly, the segment of learner reflection provided in the e-portfolio may have a critical role to play in the subsequent learner autonomy development of the participants.

Abstract

One of the prominent alterations in 2013 Curriculum is that this curriculum does not only put an emphasis on cognitive competence but also affective competence. Consequently, the evaluation must be carried out to assess students’ affective assessment. Nevertheless, the issue concerning the complexity of affective assessment has been circulating for years. Therefore, the present study aims to scrutinize teachers’ techniques, challenges, and their voices with regard to development and the implementation of 2013 Curriculum. This study utilizes a qualitative research by using descriptive qualitative design. One teacher, who has implemented 2013 Curriculum, in a senior high school was selected as the respondent in this study. Interviews and document analysis were conducted to obtain the data. This study reveals that there are two evaluation techniques carried out by the teacher specifically observations and peer-assessment. Furthermore, two challenges are identified as teachers’ shortcomings for instance inadequate acquaintance of 2013 Curriculum and time availability in assessment process. Thus, this study recommends teachers to raise their awareness regarding the challenges as well as select an effective technique to assess students’ affective competence.

Abstract

Continuing professional development (CPD) is imperative for teachers. English language teachers are not exceptions. In continuing their professional development, teachers actually have flexibility to choose either training or self-directed CPD approach. Therefore, it is assumed that depending on the gender and the career developmental stage that they are in, teachers may choose different CPD approach. Thus, this study was aimed to see the relationship between teachers’ career developmental stage, gender and their selection of CPD approaches. In order to achieve that, this study employed descriptive quantitative approach. The participant involved were 54 EFL teachers in Majalengka, West Java. The data were collected by using questionnaires. Chi-square was used in order to test the three hypotheses. The result revealed that the teachers mainly showed positive comments on CPD. Furthermore, it was found that there was a significant relationship between the teachers’ career developmental stages and CPD approaches. On the other hand, the findings signified that there was no relationship between gender of the teachers and their CPD approaches. As the recommendation it is expected that the teachers could maintain and regulate their commitment on continuing professional development. In addition, the government, especially the Indonesian Ministry of Education and Culture is also expected to provide wider variety of professional development approaches so as to bridge the diverse preferences for continuing professional development (CPD) of the teachers in Indonesian setting.

Abstract

Learner autonomy has been regarded as the point of pivotal in the implementation of the new Curriculum Merdeka. This study aims to describe the lecturers’ beliefs and practices in learner autonomy (LA) within the implementation of MBKM (Merdeka Belajar-Kampus Merdeka) policy. Applying a qualitative method with a case study design, this research involved 56 English Education Program university lecturers whose working within MBKM policy as the participants for the questionnaire. Then, 5 of the participants were further selected as the respondents of the interview and document analysis. The research reveals that the lecturers were knowledgeable about the notion of LA. It was shown as LA was mentioned in the construction of instructional material and design also in the teaching and learning process. Furthermore, the lecturers believed that LA supports the autonomous leaners’ language development during the implementation of MBKM policy. Two aspects, which are political-technical environment and learning ecosystem, dominated the lecturers’ perspectives in considering that MBKM policy seems to be able to give more educational choices for the learner to study both in and out of the classroom environment. However, it is depicted that, the psychological and sociocultural aspects, such as that of the relatively low degree of the students’ confidence, readiness, and agility in learning, seemed to remain problematic as they tend to hinder the development of LA. Therefore, the lecturers indicated that taking a role in facilitating the students’ LA development is still required to anticipate the obstacles.
