The method used in this research is a research and development method ( Research and Development) the Borg & Gall model which reviews problems, data collection, product design, design validation, design revisions, product trials, product revisions, usage trials, product revisions, and dissemination. The subjects of this study were PJOK teachers and elementary school students. The trials carried out included two stages, namely small-scale trials conducted on one PJOK teacher with 20 students, large-scale trials with two PJOK teachers with 40 students, and an effectiveness test with two PJOK teachers with 40 students. Based on the findings of the data and analysis, the researcher describes several parts of the findings through the validation assessment of material experts, obtaining an average rating of 3.83 in the \"good/decent\" category, validation by media experts obtaining a rating of 4.1 in the \"good/decent\" category. \"good/decent\", and the validation of Indonesian language experts received an assessment of 3.9 in the \"good/decent\" category, at the small-scale trial stage, the teacher's assessment results were obtained at 4.2 in the \"very feasible\" category and the test results speed and agility by 60% and 50% in the \"enough\" category, at the large-scale trial stage, the teacher's assessment results were obtained by 4.3 in the \"very decent\" category and the speed and agility test results were 75% and 65% with category \"worthy\". Based on the effectiveness test of the speed variable with the 40 m sprint test, the pretest value was 5.5% and the posttest was 90%. The agility variable with zig-zag running (IIlinois Aglitiy Test) obtained a pretest value of 47.5% and a posttest of 82.5%.

However, it might be practical to look backwards at the UN and its implementation with the impact it gives on the teachers. This article has a concern about the washback consequences of a high-stakes exam on teachers. The effects were investigated within the specific context of the 2016 UN for students in Indonesia at the junior secondary level. A semi-structured interview with eight English teachers was set up to explore the teachers' perceptions towards the UN. Regarding feelings, all participants shared divergent feelings ranging from disinterested to excessive levels of fear or anxiety and mixed feelings. The data also showed mixed opinions, both positive and negative, regarding the examination. The students were thought to be motivated to study because the examination was used for selection purposes. The results did, however, also imply that the students' performance on the national exam was thought to have been assessed unfairly. The instructors demonstrated how the exam affected their teaching roles and methods. Making the national exam a low-stakes test was one of the suggestions made by attendees to enhance it.","PeriodicalId":33640,"journal":{"name":"Journal of English Education and Teaching","volume":"15 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139177100","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}

However, many students still experience problems in producing a successful writing. This study aims at promoting high school students’ writing skills, particularly in writing descriptive text, by utilizing project-based learning. This study employed a Classroom Action Research through two cycles which include planning, acting, observing, and evaluating stages. The data were collected from 23 students of X IIS 4 class of SMA Negeri 4 Takalar as the study subjects by using writing tests and observation. The results of the study show that there was an improvement in students’ scores and behaviour when learning with project-based approach. In the diagnostic test, the students mean score was 65.57. The score improved by 9.9% in cycle I and 13.81% in cycle II to 72.09 and 82.04, respectively. Besides, in the pretest, only five students who can achieve the minimum completeness criteria, but in the end of cycle 2, twenty students can pass the minimum score. In addition, students become more actively engaged in the learning process as they are enthusiastic with the projects given by the teacher. This means that the use of project-based learning gave positive impact to students’ learning to write descriptive paragraphs and teachers are suggested to use it in teaching in EFL writing classrooms.","PeriodicalId":33640,"journal":{"name":"Journal of English Education and Teaching","volume":"16 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139277666","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}

In general, the findings of this research are categorized into six points. Of the two sub-themes, the research results tend to lead to positive and negative attitudes in English-language publications. Furthermore, the discursive challenge shows that Participants have difficulty writing with regard to word choice, grammar, and vocabulary bank, while the non-discursive challenge shows that Participants have difficulty processing their soft skills such as time management in writing and financial management in publications. In terms of psychology, the lecturers' internal motivation in writing is the target for achieving a higher career. The more they write, the more performance points they get so they can reach a certain career level. Meanwhile, external motivation is in the form of government regulations and legal institutions that require an educator in higher education to carry out scientific activities such as research and reports in the form of published scientific articles.
