Understanding the teacher's beliefs could facilitate a better understanding of the teacher's classroom practices and, eventually, the nuances of her student's performance. A few studies have been conducted on a teacher's beliefs and practices in teaching grammar in the Indonesian context. However, studies investigating a senior teacher's beliefs and practices in teaching grammar are infrequent in Indonesia. The teaching of grammar has always been controversial for language teachers in L2/ EFL settings. The main problem is how grammar should be taught and acquired. The aim of this study is to analyze a teacher's beliefs and practices relating to the teaching of grammar. The data were gathered through an in-depth interview with the teacher and classroom observations. This research focused only on a female senior teacher who has taught English for tens of years in a high school environment. From the in-depth interview and the observations, the researcher obtained meaningful information from the teacher, starting from the beginning of her teaching, then during the Post Method phase, and through the phase for the integration of the teaching of grammar with technology. From the interviews and classroom observations, the researchers can conclude that the teacher has shown consistency with her beliefs, and the several teaching innovations while still adopting the Deductive Method.","PeriodicalId":107037,"journal":{"name":"Indonesian Journal Of Educational Research and Review","volume":"310 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133481269","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

But its credibility and its ability to serve as an efficient academic resource is still a matter of concern. This study aims to evaluate Bangladeshi students’ perception of Wikipedia as an information resource. For this quantitative research, the authors used a structured questionnaires with close ended questions to collect data. A total of 336 students from several Bangladeshi institutions chosen using random sampling method were the population for this study. The collected data were analyzed using IBM SPSS Statistics 25. Kruskal Wallis and Mann-Whitney U tests were used to test the hypothesis. The study found that students regularly used Wikipedia for their academic work and classroom assignments. A majority of the students (N=296, 88.1%) deemed it appropriate to use Wikipedia in the context of university studies. This study is the first attempt in Bangladesh to investigate how frequently and why university students use Wikipedia in their academic work and whether they deem Wikipedia credible, accurate and relevant to their education. Extensive research by the authors has shown that there are many aspects of Wikipedia that make it suitable for the learning-teaching process, which makes it a fruitful topic for further study.","PeriodicalId":107037,"journal":{"name":"Indonesian Journal Of Educational Research and Review","volume":"44 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127515665","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study is using a quantitative approach study with moderated correlation analysis. High school teachers from different schools who were women took part in this study. In order to test the research hypothesis, the study looked at the validity of the 175 questionnaires that female teachers had filled out. Data analysis is using PROCESS V4.0. According to this study, the relationship between role conflict and work stress is moderated by role ambiguity, which suggests that changes in teaching affect roles as teachers and households. According to this study, the greater a teacher's role conflict and ambiguity, the greater the risk of work stress.","PeriodicalId":107037,"journal":{"name":"Indonesian Journal Of Educational Research and Review","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115180140","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study aims to analyze HOT content in the analysis aspect, evaluation aspect, and creating aspect in the students' and teachers' handbook of the 2013 curriculum on the fifth theme of the third grade. This research used a qualitative approach and content analysis methods. The object was HOT content. Data collection techniques used documentation by reading and taking notes carefully. Validity used semantic validity and reliability used stability and reproducibility. Data analysis techniques consisted of unitizing, sampling, recording/coding, reducing, inferring, and narrating. The findings showed that HOT content has already appeared, but the distribution was not equal. The analysis aspect mostly appears through various questions that can stimulate students' thinking. In evaluation aspect, mostly appears through activities at the end of the lesson. In the creation aspect, most students are commanded to be creative to solve the problem. The result of this study can be used as information for teachers in preparing learning activities by focusing on students' higher-order thinking skills.","PeriodicalId":107037,"journal":{"name":"Indonesian Journal Of Educational Research and Review","volume":"170 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121384526","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
