Understanding student engagement: an examination of the moderation effect of professional teachers' competence
Get PDFDue to low levels of student engagement during the COVID-19 pandemic, elementary school students suffered significant learning losses, which served as the driving force behind this research. Teachers should be the key to solving problems. This research aims to measure how much influence the competence of professional elementary school teachers has on student engagement in Indonesia. This research uses a quantitative approach with a correlational design and survey method. Data collection was carried out through teacher professional competency and student involvement questionnaires, with data sources coming from elementary school teachers and students in the western, eastern, and central regions of Indonesia. Samples were taken using the cluster random sampling technique. Quantitative data analysis was used with descriptive statistical stages, correlation analysis, regression analysis, and comparative analysis. The results of the hypothesis test also show that professional competence in the aspect of understanding content and understanding the curriculum has a significant influence on student engagement, while in the aspect of understanding student character, it does not have a significant influence. These results make an important contribution to teachers' ongoing professional development. Aspects of content development and curriculum development are recommended as priorities for self-development
Self-investigation exercises: geometry learning strategies for prospective teacher students
Get PDFThis study's purpose was to analyse the relationship between geometric thinking skills with self-regulated learning and with students' basic geometry skills. Furthermore, analyze student errors in solving geometry problems based on their self-regulated learning to determine the optimal geometry learning environment for geometry thinking skills. The study subjects were 46 second-semester students majoring in Mathematics Education for the academic year 2021/2022 of Universitas Bina Bangsa who were selected with purposive sampling techniques. This research uses quantitative and qualitative research methods. Data were obtained from geometric thinking ability tests, basic geometry skills tests, self-regulated learning questionnaires, and interview sheets. The results showed a relationship between the ability to think geometrically and the basic geometry skills of students in solving geometry problems in terms of student self-regulated learning. It was found that students' difficulties in solving geometry problems can be overcome by creating an independent geometry learning environment.

Students’ perception and expectation toward learning German receptive skills
Get PDFThe purpose of this study is to describe the perceptions and expectations of German language students, especially in terms of receptive skills. This study asks two main questions: i) what are the expectations of students towards learning German and ii) how are students' perceptions of German learning, especially reading and listening, the data sources for this research are students of the German Language Education Study Program. The research instruments were questionnaires and in-depth interviews. The data were analyzed descriptively, which showed that i) In general (98%) students have high expectations to study and work in Germany, for example, following the "Ausbildung," ii) 98% of students realize that reading and listening are ways to broaden horizons, enrich vocabulary, and avoid misunderstandings in both one-way and two-way communication; and iii) Students' cognitive perceptions of reading and listening skills contribute to their positive attitudes towards improving these receptive skills; this finding shows that positive perceptions and high expectations of students are inversely proportional to their receptive abilities
Use and forms of metadiscourse features in COVID-19 Malaysian news
Get PDFMetadiscourse features are fundamental for coherence and cohesion to be achieved by the writers in the texts. Writers might have employed metadiscourse widely, but they might have used it incorrectly, causing the texts to be disjointed. Numerous studies have been carried out in various academic contexts in the use of metadiscourse. However, there are still limited studies in news settings. Hence, the most common types, functions, and forms of metadiscourse features in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) news are identified through Dafouz-Milne’s model. Fifteen COVID-19 news articles were collected from The Star and The Edge, respectively from November 2021 to March 2022. The study is conducted to examine the comparison between textual and interpersonal functions and their forms. This is done to examine the engaging content in COVID-19 news from The Star or The Edge to create awareness for the journalists. The findings revealed that interpersonal metadiscourse was used more than textual metadiscourse for The Star, but textual metadiscourse was used more than interpersonal metadiscourse for The Edge. The findings also displayed the significance of metadiscourse in COVID-19 news, and a glossary of metadiscourse forms in COVID-19 news would expose the COVID-19 journalists and practitioners to the employment of metadiscourse

Evaluation of school facility management: the case of a high school context in Indonesia
Get PDFThis study employed the context, input, process, and product (CIPP) model to evaluate the facilities management of a private high school in Jakarta, Indonesia. Participants included teachers, staff, parents, students, and vice principals. Data collection methods encompassed interviews and checklist observations, with participant triangulation used for data validation and verification. Findings indicated a moderate alignment between the context and the objectives of facilities management. While the input, processes, and outputs somewhat addressed stakeholders' educational needs, the school principal effectively facilitated the teaching and learning environment through her roles as a planner, implementer, and supervisor of facilities management. Nevertheless, the school encounters several challenges, such as adapting to the digital era, securing funding, competition, the necessity for a qualified facilities manager, and the need for repairs in several facilities. By identifying the strengths and challenges in the current management practices, including the role of the principal and the impact of digital transformation, the study provides valuable insights for improving facility management. The study recommended the development of a digital facility management system to enhance accessibility for both educators and students
Enhancing hybrid learning through effective facilities management in remote settings
Get PDFIn the unpredictable digital age, it is imperative to guarantee the availability and use of learning facilities to maximize the success of hybrid-based learning, particularly for schools located in remote places. This research aims to find in-depth information about the management of learning facilities in assisting remote areas hybrid-based learning success. This study used a qualitative approach and a case study design. While in-depth interview and documentation studies were used in data collection, the study was conducted in three schools in remote areas with participants in this study including principals, teachers, students, and parents. The data obtained were also checked for credibility and data validity. The findings showed that the learning facilities management (LFM) in encouraging the successful application of hybrid learning in schools located in remote areas, showed the adequacy of the management of adequate facilities, but not on the management of facilities at home with some specificities found. This limitation is caused by economic and geographical factors, where many families in remote areas cannot afford the necessary learning devices or do not have stable internet access. This study has contributed to the literature on management of learning facilities in the post-pandemic period which can form the basis for further research in related fields
