Abstract

English is considered as a foreign language for Indonesian speakers. It also becomes the first obligatory foreign language to be taught in Indonesian Secondary Schools. However, English is rarely used as the medium of communication in the daily life context. Consequently, learners encounter difficulties in uttering sentences and creating written expressions. Therefore, they need to be self-regulated and strategic to acquire English proficiency.  The researchers argued that applying self-regulated learning (SRL) by both students and teachers could enhance students’ language mastery. This paper aimed to investigate whether or not self-regulated learning towards the English subject of Grade X and XI students was implemented in one Senior High School in Yogyakarta, Indonesia.  It adopted a mixed method approach by distributing questionnaire to 60 students, and conducting a semi-structured interview to one English teacher. One English teacher was chosen as a convenience sample in this study.  Based on the finding, the students depict positive results in responding four strategies represented Self-Regulated Learning, including: 1) Planning, 2) Monitoring, 3) Controlling, and 4) Reflecting. Meanwhile, the researcher classified the findings of the teacher’s interview into four major points. The points were: 1) Modelling, 2) Encouraging, 3) Strategic Teaching Method, 4) Outcome Checking and Feedback.  From the findings, it could be concluded that both the students and the teacher implemented some aspects of self-regulated learning; even though the process should be conducted more systematically and consistently.  Keywords:  English learning strategies, self-regulated learning, autonomous learning, English subject

Abstract

This study sought to investigate the identity construction of Indonesian Montessori teachers. The research was done in two Montessori schools in Yogyakarta: Cosmic School and Universe School (pseudonyms). The participants involved in this research were eight teachers in total. The data gathering process employed questionnaire, classroom observation, interview, and written reflections. The findings have shed a light on the ways teachers develop their identities within Montessori’s values and principles that they reflect and implement in their daily teaching practice. The findings of the research portrayed that there were four major salient principles influencing the identity formation of becoming Montessori teachers. They were movement and cognition, choice, interest, and teacher ways and child ways. Those principles and values were becoming teachers’ guidance of creating professional working ethos. Montessori principles also influenced the teachers in the ways they perceived and treated the students. This study also revealed the undertaken agencies to hold identity as Montessori teachers. There were three broad themes to explain their agencies. They entailed the essence of building communication between teacher and parents, the significance of community support, and the importance of being well-prepared teachers. Based on the findings and discussion, some recommendations for future studies are also presented.
