Abstract

This study reports an empirical investigation of the use of personal approach to integrating educational values in an English pre-service teacher education program. Using a Moodle-based Learning Management System called Exelsa, which has beeen in use in the past four years, each individual student received personal written responses from the instructor. Learning is perceived more as a journey to develop self-knowledge that is not merely driven by instrumental orientations such as grade-seeking mentality, rote memorization, and formalist-driven contents. A set of anedoctal evidence suggested that highly personal notes addressed to each individual student brough significant change in the way each of them viewed himself or herself in positive ways. When students felt highly appreciated as significant human beings in the class, they were more likely to undergo learning more in a holistic manner. A humanistic philosophy of education necessitates such an approach to maintaining a relational trust among all class members. An instructor is supposedly skillful at navigating the flows of class interactions, at times with unprecedented challenges. A restropective study, this seeks to develop a better understanding as to whether such an approach leaves a durable significance in their perspectives on learning. DOI: https://doi.org/10.24071/llt.2015.180105

Abstract

Educational scholars generally agree that educational policies are inevitably regarded as one of the most contested areas in education. On the one hand, democracy requires more involvement on the part of the citizens. At the most ideal level, democratic mechanisms have been developed to allow more people to more fruitfully participate in decision making. It follows that the political mechanisms would entail better policies, which represent the voices of any people. On the other hand, politics seems to run against this ideal. Policy making is highly convoluted with economy and political trade-offs. Drawing on debates over the phonic vs. whole-language policies in the U.S. in the past four or five decades, this paper sets to discuss the complexity of politics and language policy. A growing awareness of the complexity of politics and policy making is certainly a pressing need for those working in the area of English Education. DOI: https://doi.org/10.24071/llt.2012.150103

Abstract

Teacher identity still remains an important topic to discuss in education because it shows teachers? personal and professional aspects. Teacher identity is not a static circumstance as it changes depending on the contexts. As zoning policy in new student admission in Indonesia remains as educational current issue, this study aims to explore how the zoning policy implementation develops English teacher identity in high and low-performing schools. This study employed qualitative approach as the purpose of this research is not to be generalized; this empirical research is aimed to reveal holistic discussion of particular subjects instead. Twelve English teachers from different public senior high schools in Yogyakarta Province, Indonesia were selected for semi-structured interviews and two of them were invited to have in-depth interviews. The data were coded and analyzed based on the framework of teacher identity construction. The results showed that the contribution of zoning policy implementation in teacher identity development varied. Firstly, zoning policy implementation influences teacher identity regarding their beliefs on students? characteristics in high and low-performing schools. Secondly, teachers? maintenance of their moral purpose as educator was developed through the implementation. Thirdly, class dynamics were triggered by the previous two aspects

Abstract

Teachers as agents of change play a key role to not only assist their students with their learning, but also to professionally navigate the tension among their own beliefs, school culture, and the mandated curriculum. Drawing upon principles of Liberal Arts Education, a Jesuit Senior High School in Yogyakarta has carried out liberal arts education (LAE) since its inception in 1948, so as to nurture students’ capability to make their own choices and become responsible to their own deeds. This study is set to 1) discover transformative processes of four English teachers in their efforts to adopt and adapt to existing school values, and 2) elaborate the ways in which these teachers adopted and implemented the LAE and Ignatian Pedagogy into their teaching activities. This research employs Narrative Inquiry for its research method. Data gathering was accomplished by interviews, school observations, field notes, and document analysis. Four English teachers and some students were involved in the interviews. To guide data analysis, Mezirow’s (1998) Critical Self-Reflection of Assumptions (CSRA) and Biesta, Priestly, Robinson’s (2015) teacher agency were utilized. Findings suggest that transformed agencies took place in response to catalytic moments, especially due to the changing nature of students and the expectation to maintain quality teaching. Further studies may address a larger scope of teacher agencies among teachers in public schools.

Abstract

The covid-19 pandemic is currently occurring affects almost all aspects of life, including education. School From Home (SFH) is one of the ways to prevent the spread of Covid-19. The face-to-face learning method in class turns into online learning using information technology facilities. Even though there are many barriers to implementing classes online, online learning provides a new perspective for students' learning process. One of the factors for the online learning process's success is the interaction between the two main actors in the learning process, i.e., lecturers and students. The study's purpose was to analyze students' perceptions of the online learning process. The research data were obtained from a student questionnaire, which included five main criteria in the learning process: 1) self-management aspects, 2) personal efforts, 3) technology utilization, 4) perceptions of self-roles, and 5) perceptions of the role of the lecturer. Students provide an assessment through a questionnaire about the online learning methods they experience during the Covid-19 pandemic. The random forest algorithm was applied to examine data. The study results were focused on three main criteria (variable importance) that affect students' perceptions of the online learning process. The results described that the students' satisfaction in online learning is influenced by 1) The relationship between students and lecturers. 2) The learning materials need to be changed and adapted to the online learning method; 3) The use of technology to access online learning. The study contributes to improving the online learning method for the student.

Abstract

In assisting students’ transformation, classes provide activities with face validity. This paper aims to provide readers with cultural-historical activity theory (CHAT) analysis of Educational Psychology class at a private university in Yogyakarta. Activity Theory is a theoretical framework for the study and interpretation of human interaction through the use of instruments and objects. It provides a holistic and contextual discovery approach that can be used to help qualitative and interpretive research. Activity Theory is especially important in circumstances that have a large historical and cultural context and where participants, their goals and their tools are in a state of rapid and continuous change. Few studies explored the use of CHAT framework to reveal the challenges in providing a fully online class in a higher education. Therefore, this study intended to explore the practical importance of CHAT theory use for the delivery of a class in a fully online learning environment. The results revealed the units of analysis (UoA) of the CHAT framework. In addition, the students shared some challenges they faced in relation to those units of analysis. The implication of this study is to utilize the CHAT framework as a tool to evaluate the learning process.
