Abstract

Research related to distance learning for students has been widely carried out, contrary to research related to teachers. The lack of opportunities and facilities for early childhood education teachers to develop their competencies is the background for the theme of this research. This article will be focused on explaining the readiness of Early Childhood Education teachers to face training conducted through distance learning. This research was conducted through a survey method by sending questionnaires to 409 participants. Participants are teachers or assistants from SPS, Playgroups and Kindergartens. The results of this study indicate that most of the participants are interested in participating in distance learning. This shows the high motivation of the participants to improve competence through distance learning. Various obstacles that may be faced cause participants to have difficulty accessing distance learning.

Abstract

This study aimed to investigate students’ perception on their writing anxiety and how they employed their writing self-efficacy as well as the relationship between writing anxiety and writing efficacy. This research was conducted toward 29 students from undergraduate and graduate EFL students in Yogyakarta who were taking critical writing course. This study used mixed-method research employing a close-ended questionnaire and interview to gather the data. The writing anxiety questionnaire statements were adopted from Cheng (2004), while the writing efficacy statements were adopted from Eby (2018). The data results were analysed using SPSS version 25 then described statistically, whilst the interview data were analysed using thematic analysis. The results showed that both undergraduate and graduate students have a high self-efficacy and anxiety in writing. A correlation test was conducted and described in the discussion section to see the relationship between writing anxiety and writing efficacy indicates that all aspects of writing anxiety had a negative correlation but not significant with writing ability and behavior. However, not all aspects of writing anxiety such as somatic anxiety, avoidance behaviour, and cognitive anxiety had a negative correlation with writing ideas, writing conventions and self-regulation in writing. The interview result showed that the students who had good self-efficacy in writing felt anxiety as a means to explore themselves and foster a positive mindset to continue progressing in writing. The implication of this research is to expand knowledge related to writing practice in EFL context and educational psychology.

Abstract

Since the beginning of 2020, the world has been shaken by an incident, namely the spread of the Covid-19 virus. The spread of the Covid-19 virus is very widespread throughout the world, so the World Health Organization (WHO) conveyed this as a threat to the world on January 31, 2020 which was later announced to be a pandemic for the international community, namely on March 11, 2020 (Shan L. Pana et al, 2020). The Indonesian government finally took part in handling the spread of the Covid-19 virus, including by recording the area where the virus spread and mapping it into several zones (Kemenkes, 2020). Because of some areas in East Java are mostly in the red and orange zones, which are areas with a high and dangerous spread of the Covid-19 virus, the researchers wanted to know the readiness and involvement of early childhood teachers in East Java during the COVID-19 pandemic through online learning. This research is a qualitative descriptive study that uses data collection techniques through literature review and surveys. Furthermore, all data collected from both the literature review and survey results were analyzed for description. The survey results state that the activities that have been planned in the lesson plan can be carried out well. However, there are parents of students who often do not collect student assignments on time, resulting in teachers having difficulty in assessing each student. Good ICT mastery can facilitate the implementation of online learning activities and early childhood teachers also support the implementation of online learning from home imposed by the Government to suppress the spread of the Covid-19 virus.

Abstract

This study was aimed to investigate high school English teachers’ ICT literacy with the following more specific objectives: (i) to figure out how well of high school English teachers were familiar with various types of ICT for educational purposes; (ii) to figure out the extent to which English teachers implement ICT in their teaching; (iii) to figure out the obstacles English teachers had in implementing their knowledge of ICT in their teaching. Generation Z or gen Z are those who were born in digital era and are exposed to technology since from their young age. To teach this generation, teachers need to be literate to technology and should master certain knowledge that enables them to integrate technology in their teaching. Quantitative decriptive research design was employed in this study. A set of five point Likert scale questionnaire was distributed to English teachers who taught in Junior and Senior high schools in Surabaya and was analyzed using descriptive statistics. The findings indicated that majority of the respondents’ familiarity with the types of hardware and software was ranging from quite well to very well; the majority of the respondents’ frequency in using ICT was very often; and the only obstacle the teachers faced was lack of effective training to implement ICT in teaching. The present study may give insights for teacher development programs to improve their proficiency in implementing ICT in their classes to teach generation Z.

Abstract

One of the four competencies for professional teachers is the pedagogical competency that includes the ability to assess learning outcomes. This requirement should apply to teachers enrolled in teacher certification program (PPG). PPG Batch 20, however, did not provide teachers with any module for assessment literacy. This study administered a test to explore these teachers’ assessment literacy. The finding indicates that they belonged to the unacceptable-to-inadequate levels. An updated assessment literacy module is recommended to meet the purpose of assessment-literate teachers.
