Authors:Federico P Oclarit Jr., Vicente S Betarmos Jr., Leomarich F Casinillo Pages: 136 - 157 Abstract: This article aimed to investigate the unheard sentiments among Mamanwa learners in mainstream education to create a suitable educational policy for indigenous learners in the Philippines. The study utilized purposive (non-probability) sampling comprising fifteen participants residing in Panaon Area, Southern Leyte, Philippines. Since the study involved the indigenous people community, free prior informed consent (FPIC) was secured from authorities. This study focused on the lived experiences of Mamanwa learners, particularly the barriers, challenges, and coping mechanisms for handling the struggles they faced in mainstream education. A face-to-face semi-structured interview was employed to gather meaningful responses analyzed through Colaizzi's strategy. The findings revealed that the Mamanwa learners' social isolation, the inadequacy of learning materials, lack of access to educational services, and limited support resources and educational funds from the government have contributed to their ongoing challenge to completion in mainstream education. These factors have all affected their personal and social well-being. Conclusively, despite the barriers and challenges, however, the Mamanwa learners are becoming resilient and diversely unique individuals who need to be understood, accepted, and embraced just like any other member of society. Furthermore, the fueling mechanisms of every indigenous group to cross mainstream education are in the hopes of building growth, promoting connections through intense exposure in the community, and as individuals of disadvantaged groups with a social change mindset aimed to improve their social status.

Authors:Agustinus Rudi Winarto Pages: 158 - 171 Abstract: This analysis seeks to discover how the richness of meaningful words is affected by the diversity of media and gender. The two separated forms of media in computer-mediated communication, which are real names (CMR) and anonym (CMA), are connected to the production of meaningful interaction in problem-solving exchanges among pupils. Furthermore, computer-based communication has added a layer of invisibility which has caused an increase in daring word usage in conversations using computers. To assess this issue, the research will look into criminal puzzles discussed in clubs, to determine if there is any impact from the various types of media and gender variation. The research used empirical analysis methods to review the effect of different media and sex on the number of meaningful words produced by 30 participants, 20 female and 10 male. Through analysis of conversations in the conversation room, a two-way ANOVA test was administered to figure out the impact of media and gender on the number of meaningful words. The investigation presented that there was no meaningful impact of media diversity and gender on the number of words produced by students in the investigation. The data suggested that any changes in media or gender had no notable effect on productivity. PubDate: 2023-06-23 DOI: 10.24071/ijiet.v7i2.5904 Issue No:Vol. 7, No. 2 (2023)

Authors:The Maria Meiwati Widagdo, Maria Fransiska Pudjohartono Pages: 195 - 203 Abstract: Access to education remains a challenge for children with disability. In Indonesia, families can choose to send children with disability to either inclusive or specialized schools. This study aimed to identify the factors associated with the choice of sending children with disability to inclusive or special schools and factors linked to school dropout. Caregivers of children with disability in Java, Indonesia were interviewed to collect data on enrolment in school, sex and age of the children with disability, type of disability, parents’ age and education, and independence of children with disability. The characteristics of children with disability studying in inclusive and special schools were compared. Logistic multivariate linear regression was done to analyze factors related to the choice of school. Data from 281 children with disability were analyzed: 175 (62.3%) of the school-aged children with disability were actively studying at school, with 84.57% studying in inclusive schools and 15.43% in special schools. Children’s age, independence in daily activities, and ability to learn and play are factors that affect parents’ choice of educational placement for children with disability. Children’s age and mothers’ age are variables influencing children with disability to drop out. PubDate: 2023-06-30 DOI: 10.24071/ijiet.v7i2.6445 Issue No:Vol. 7, No. 2 (2023)
Authors:Putu Sita Witari, Katharina Endriati Sukamto Pages: 204 - 220 Abstract: In Indonesia, many pedagogical stakeholders may not be familiar with translanguaging practices in EFL education. Indonesian EFL teachers may unconsciously have practised translanguaging in their classrooms, but they may not be aware that they have practised the activity. To explore the perspectives and beliefs about translanguaging, this study involves four Indonesian EFL teachers from four different geographical areas in Indonesia. Two of them teach EFL in formal education, while the other two in informal education settings. The data was collected by conducting an in-depth interview with each of them. Based on their perspectives, this study reveals four main pedagogical issues in translanguaging practice. They are (1) confusion of the concept, (2) institutional policy, (3) cognitive and social gains, and (4) complication. These four issues indicate that while theoretically translanguaging is said to potentially encourage learning, it still creates some controversies about whether or not it can lead success to in EFL learning. This study suggests that the implementation of translanguaging practice in the Indonesian context should depend on typical situations in every EFL classroom. Teachers should consider, among others, learners’ diverse backgrounds and also their existing linguistic repertoire, including their L1 knowledge. In making EFL learning meaningful, learners’ needs should be a priority. PubDate: 2023-07-05 DOI: 10.24071/ijiet.v7i2.5814 Issue No:Vol. 7, No. 2 (2023)

The exploration was done through a holistic literature review of 30 national and local newspapers and online articles relevant to the aim of the study. We performed a peer-debriefing activity to present our review analysis to each other, comment on it, and made necessary revisions to our analysis to ensure the credibility of our review. While the results communicated various things, we could highlight some commonalities: unequal distribution of technology support or facilities in schools, creative ways to support teaching and learning practices regardless of the very minimum facilities that schools have, and continuous support from the Indonesian government and private sectors to improve school technology-supported facilities. We then discussed those commonalities in light of the relevant literature and their implications for teaching and learning to benefit school teachers or educational practitioners planning to teach in schools outside Java with minimal technological-related school facilities.

Authors:Hendri Yawan, Al Furqan, Karman Karman, Sarmadan Sarmadan, Bimas Reskiawan Pages: 234 - 248 Abstract: This study aims to conduct a comparative analysis of the development of Indonesia's curriculum and Hong Kong's curriculum, with a focus on identifying the underlying philosophical values and influences embedded in both educational systems. The research also explores the implications of these curricula on various stakeholders involved in their development and implementation. To achieve these objectives, a synthesis research approach was employed, analyzing a combination of empirical and conceptual papers to draw robust conclusions. The study yielded four key findings that shed light on public opinions, philosophy, goals, and implications of the curricula. Firstly, both the Indonesian curriculum and the Hong Kong curriculum received predominantly positive responses from stakeholders, with minor complaints reported through official surveys. Secondly, the philosophical foundation of the Indonesian curriculum centers around social justice, while the Hong Kong curriculum places a strong emphasis on diversity and inclusivity. Furthermore, both curricula have implicit purposes that can be inferred from the range of topics covered in the respective curriculum guidebooks. Finally, the implementation of these curricula has led stakeholders in each country to issue policies aimed at consolidating their influence. In Hongkong, the promotion of the Chinese-based course serves to strengthen China's power in the field of English education. Conversely, in Indonesia, efforts have been made to preserve the Indonesian language by removing the English subject at the primary level and reducing the time allocation for English in secondary education. This study contributes to a deeper understanding of the development and influences of curricula in Indonesia and Hong Kong, providing valuable insights for policymakers, educators, and researchers.

Authors:Agnes Maria Polina, Christiyanti Aprinastuti, Hari Suparwito Pages: 249 - 261 Abstract: The learning process changed from classroom to online learning during the COVID-19 pandemic. One of the things that must be done is to analyze the readiness of lecturers in facing online learning. The purpose of this study is to cluster the profiles of lecturers dealing with online learning. The clustering method uses a Machine Learning approach with the K-means algorithm. Data were taken from 274 lecturers who returned questionnaires during April–June 2022. The questionnaire consisted of 27 questions on a Likert scale (1–4). The Boruta technique is used to determine the five most significant variables (Variable Importance) in the clustering. The results of the clustering show that the lecturers are divided into 2 large groups with the following criteria: focus on learning methods, learning materials, student independence, exploration of new knowledge, and online learning evaluation tools.

Authors:Roslina Suratnu Pages: 262 - 270 Abstract: This study aims to examine the process involved in designing an instructional module based on the ADDIE model which was developed by Dick & Carey (1996). An instructional module is one of the main tools in the teaching and learning (T&L) process of a subject. Therefore, the design of modules needs to be based on an instructional model that details the phases of the process carefully and systematically. Thus, this study explores the use of the ADDIE model in designing an instructional module for the subject of the Malay language at the remedial level. The ADDIE model consists of five phases: namely analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation. The use of the ADDIE model in designing the instructional module has helped in meeting the objectives of teaching and learning as the model uses a systematic approach that fulfills the needs of students. It is hoped that this module can help improve the mastery of basic reading and writing skills for students. PubDate: 2023-07-12 DOI: 10.24071/ijiet.v7i2.3521 Issue No:Vol. 7, No. 2 (2023)
Authors:Agung Purnomo, Anita Ekantini Pages: 271 - 282 Abstract: The independence of student learning is one aspect to determine the success of student learning, but the fact is that there are still many students who need to be more independent in learning. This research will evaluate whether the project-based learning (PjBL) model can improve student learning independence (SLI). This study is a quantitative research using a quasi-experimental method. Pretest-postest group design was employed as the research design. The object was students from year seven class B and D LHI Islamic Junior High School in the first semester of the academic year 2022/2023, which were selected using the classroom random sampling technique. The findings indicate that this model applied to science learning with the herbarium project can increase SLI due to the requirement of being independent during completing an individual project. In addition, for future works, it could add new activities which also maximize collaboration among students in completing their projects in conjunction with independence.

Yabo Pages: 283 - 294 Abstract: The Sokoto state needs biology-based students for the making of many useful professionals that works in a diverse array of human lives. However, there is a report showing poor performance in the subject. Anxiety is an issue that may affect education; thus, this work aimed to assess the issue of anxiety among students of biology in secondary school, the related causes, and control. The study design applied was a survey (questionnaire) among 400 students in Sokoto and the data was managed using descriptive statistics. Sources revealed include: How often do you hear from your family while on campus had the greatest percentage with 40.0%, then by Lack taking in a well-balanced diet with 30.0 %, How often have you been following your time table had 20.0%, followed by Distractions or disturbances from a roommate on campus (7.5%), and the least was How often have you been angered because of things that were beyond your control on campus with 2.5%. The effects of anxiety on academics include: Anxiety distracting from the lesson (40.0%), and reduces morale in academics (30.0%). Anxiety prevents students from finishing their assignments (20.0%), and elicits absenteeism (10.0%). Anxiety management includes: Major ploy is enough time and participating in extracurricular activities. Guidance and counselling/discussions with friends are helpful. Thus, academic anxiety can be tamed for better learning. Education on anxiety, enough rest, staying focused, and exercise are needed to enhance students’ academic performance.

Authors:Odiri E. Onoshakpokaiye Pages: 309 - 318 Abstract: The study's goal is to assess students who are enrolled in postsecondary mathematics in terms of their achievement and mathematical reasoning skills. Most experts think that for students to study mathematics, they must possess the ability to reason since solving problems in mathematics demands it. The achievement has a bearing on this since it is important for the school and the instructors to be aware of the academic performance of the pupils in various subject areas to track their progress. A student's accomplishments aid the instructor in determining their rank. The idea that mathematics is the most difficult subject has made learning the subject quite challenging. The ability of mathematics to reason is one significant component of mathematics that many overlook. Mathematical reasoning is crucial for success in the sciences, humanities, and other fields that rely on it. The current study examined math achievement and thinking skills. 228 students served as the study sample for this investigation. The design is expo facto. To direct the study, two research questions were established. According to the study, students' achievement is influenced by mathematical thinking. Additionally, female students outperform male students in math and courses closely related to mathematics. PubDate: 2023-07-18 DOI: 10.24071/ijiet.v7i2.5988 Issue No:Vol. 7, No. 2 (2023)
Authors:Larasati Rizky Putri, Kiar Vansa Febrianti, Abigunto Amoro Adji, Fakhrizal Arsi Pages: 319 - 332 Abstract: During the pandemic, the faculty of engineering at Trisakti University still used old apparatus and onsite learning in practical lectures, albeit with some COVID restrictions. Nowadays, when the pandemic is going out the faculty is trying to implement a new method in practical lectures using a smartphone-based application to enhance the effectiveness of physics experiments. This research aims to discover the students’ attitudes toward the use of Phyphox in physics experiments and to examine the differences in the attitude between students with various backgrounds, such as gender, department, smartphone use, and prior experience. Two hundred self-developed questionnaires were delivered to seven departments in the faculty of engineering that have participated in this research. The findings indicated that: gender correlated to significant differences in some factors of attitude; smartphone use did not affect attitude; students with prior experience showed more positive attitude; and the major taken by students correlated with majority of factors of attitude towards the use of Phyphox in physics experiment. This research article presents a case study of the integration of the Phyphox application, that utilises the smartphones' integrated sensors in hands-on physics experiments, in an inquiry framework.
