Sinarman Jaya Jaya

Abstract

Indonesian higher education is placing more emphasis on developing 21st-century skills, which require EFL students to read critically, evaluate arguments, and synthesize information from various sources. However, many EFL students still struggle with critical reading due to low motivation, passive reading habits, and a lack of engaging and relevant materials. This study explored the features, content, and design elements needed to help students improve their critical reading skills using Problem-Based Learning (PBL). A mixed-methods approach was used, involving a survey of 120 EFL students from four universities in Bengkulu, Indonesia. Interviews were also conducted with 20 students, 8 English lecturers, 4 heads of English study programs, 4 alumni, 2 school principals (from junior and senior high schools), and representatives from government institutions and private companies. The research instruments were validated by experts in content, evaluation, and language, followed by a small pilot study to check for clarity and reliability. The findings showed that students prioritize content relevance, clear navigation, and interactive tasks that encourage deeper engagement with texts. Lecturers emphasized the need for the e-book to align with course objectives and incorporate higher-order thinking through task-based learning. Stakeholders stressed the importance of the e-book aligning with institutional goals and supporting critical reading, thinking, collaboration, and problem-solving skills, which are crucial for meeting the expectations of government institutions and companies. The uniqueness of this study lies in its thorough exploration of multiple stakeholder perspectives, providing a strong foundation for developing a PBL-based e-book for critical reading. Based on these findings, e-book developers are encouraged to focus on content relevance, interactivity, and pedagogical coherence to enhance engagement and learning outcomes in EFL contexts. These insights can contribute to instructional design and curriculum development in Indonesia and similar educational settings.

Who Is the Main Player in the Educational Process?

E. Odiri Onoshakpokaiye

The study examines who is the primary actor in the process of education. In many conventional, didactic teaching settings, there is a strong focus on teacher control and the comprehensiveness of academic topic delivery. Conversely, student engagement and accountability are well regarded in the learning environment. Learning is seen as more relevant by students whenever it is linked to their interests, needs, and daily lives, and when they actively participate in the production, comprehension, and development of information. Traditional learning has been replaced with student-centered learning, which has gained importance recently. The paradigm has given students more authority over their education by acknowledging them as co-creators of the instruction and learning process. A few pieces of literature were reviewed, including: Student-centered learning An overview and essential components, the change in roles and responsibilities in a student-centered classroom, the impact of student-centered learning on students, and how to set up a student-centered classroom.

"Factors Influencing Low Motivation of PKWU Teachers and Organizational Climate in the Participation of MGMP in DKI Jakarta"

Rosmala Sari Dewi Siregar

This study aimed to analyze the factors contributing to the low motivation and organizational climate of the Subject Teacher Consultation Forum (MGMP) for Handicrafts and Entrepreneurship (PKWu) regarding teacher participation in activities within the DKI Jakarta area. Using a descriptive qualitative method, data were collected through both in-person and online interviews. The primary respondents consisted of five teachers from five regions in DKI Jakarta, whose motivation levels were assessed. The selection of these teachers as respondents was based on their teaching experience and their role as core administrators of the MGMP. This research, which employed a descriptive qualitative technique, showed that teachers' motivation to participate in MGMP activities was largely influenced by the achievement motive and the expectation of recognition. Most teachers were willing to forgo incentives but expected acknowledgment for their contributions. On the other hand, the organizational climate was assessed as relatively positive, as the management was willing to take risks regarding work programs without significant conflicts, although differences of opinion could be effectively resolved. However, several weaknesses were identified, particularly within the structural elements of the organization. The MGMP lacked formal statutes and bylaws, the administrators demonstrated limited accountability, there was no incentive system in place, and only one region had a work program serving as the organization's standard operating procedure. These factors served as major obstacles to develop a more effective organizational climate. The findings of this study indicated the need for policy involvement from stakeholders to establish regulations requiring teachers to be assigned to the PKWu subject for a minimum of two years. This aligned with the study's findings that external factors, particularly from superiors, influenced individuals' willingness to engage in self-development, especially in MGMP activities.
