The current study was conducted to improve teachers’ instructional strategies in e-learning to enhance students’ 21st-century skills through their learning activities. Data were gained by observing and assessing 24 students’ performance in practicing 21st-century skills through SCEL activities. Teachers have successfully improved instruction techniques and encourage students to learn in a group, independently, using online resources, discussion, and video presentations, as the result, the students’ 21st-century skills could be improved from cycle to cycle. Each SCEL activity developed certain soft skills and hard skills components differently. In conclusion, the teacher successfully applied SCEL activities to engage and enhance students’ 21st-century skills. The findings implicated that teachers should be more creative and innovative in using e-learning for teaching and learning to create an active online learning environment and enhance students’ 21ts century skills. Further research is expected to apply an experimental research design to search for the most effective method and measure the level of effectiveness of e-learning usage for the students’ 21st-century skills development.","PeriodicalId":211413,"journal":{"name":"Indonesian Research Journal in Education |IRJE|","volume":"44 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121533025","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 research used a questionnaire to collect the data from students and lecturers. The results of this research revealed that there were three types of written corrective feedback that were often used by the lecturers. They were direct corrective feedback, grammatical description, and electronic corrective feedback from metalinguistic feedback. Additionally, there were four types that sometimes were used by the lecturers. They were indirect corrective feedback, error codes by metalinguistic feedback, unfocused and focused feedback. The last type was reformulation. It was rarely used by the lecturers. The results also showed that direct, electronic, and unfocused corrective feedbacks were very favorable for students while a brief grammatical description (metalinguistic), focused feedback, error codes (metalinguistic), and reformulation feedback were somewhat favorable. The last type was indirect corrective feedback which was very unfavorable for the students.

Seven out of eleven hypotheses are supported based on the significance test in through the PLS-SEM procedure. The study’s findings show that the proposed extended TPB is a valid and reliable framework for describing the data-sharing behavior of STEM researchers.

The data presentations were done by making the data tabulation and grouping it into themes and sub-themes. The data tabulation is narrated in paragraph form to draw the content of the data tabulations. The findings revealed that mismatched teachers had problems to implement EMI in teaching science, such as lack of competencies in content knowledge, hard times to use English, and no training for curriculum changes.

Data were collected by administering the Conceptions of Learning Inventory (COLI) and Strategy Inventory for Language Learning (SILL) to 210 pre-service EFL teachers at an English department of a state higher education institution in Indonesia. Data were analyzed using the nonparametric Spearma’s-Rho test and Regression Tree (RT) analysis technique. The results show statistically significant positive correlations between the two constructs.

The data were collected using semi-structured interviews were analyzed using a thematic analysis following the steps proposed by Braun and Clarke (2006). The results revealed that the students had a limited understanding of the concept of learner autonomy. However, they believed that they would benefit from learner autonomy in terms of timing, learning effectiveness, and learning resources. The students also identified several hindering and supporting factors related to the development of learner autonomy.

The participants of this study were recruited from the vocational school teachers in East Java by distributing online questionnaires employing WhatsApp. The findings of this study showed that effective leadership positively influenced both work motivation and teacher performance. Indeed, work motivation can explain the relationship between effective leadership and vocational teacher performance. Based on the results, it is recommended to the education office, school principals, vocational teachers to pay more attention to the effectiveness of leadership, and work motivation to improve teacher performance. This study recommends that school principals and educational policymakers pay attention to the matters of leadership and work motivation as the essential factor in driving teacher performance.","PeriodicalId":211413,"journal":{"name":"Indonesian Research Journal in Education |IRJE|","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115349743","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}
