A Contribuição de Uma Disciplina Acadêmica no Processo de Autonomização de Professores de Inglês em Formação
Authors: Dos Santos Isabelly Raiane Silva 
Published: August 2021

RESUMO
No contexto da globalização, a língua inglesa vem ganhando gradativamente mais notoriedade no cenário mundial, fato que a leva a ser alvo de questionamentos que servem de base para o início de uma pesquisa. Desse modo, este estudo busca demonstrar a importância e os benefícios da aprendizagem autônoma desta língua estrangeira com base em definições e conceitos relacionados à autonomia e à motivação propostos por autores como Dickinson (1994), Ushioda (1996) e Benson (2001). Partindo desses referenciais teóricos, uma turma de calouros foi analisada durante o período no qual a disciplina Aprender a Aprender Língua Estrangeira foi ministrada como componente curricular obrigatório do curso de graduação em Licenciatura em Letras com habilitação em Inglês ofertado pela Faculdade de Letras Estrangeiras Modernas (FALEM), na Universidade Federal do Pará (UFPA), durante o segundo semestre de 2014. Tendo a docente como um dos principais agentes motivadores, ao final da disciplina, foram observados altos níveis de motivação em grande parte dos alunos. Ao final da investigação, tornou-se evidente que a aprendizagem pode ser mais efetiva quando o aprendente passa a compreender o funcionamento do processo cognitivo e a conhecer seu próprio estilo de aprendizagem.

ABSTRACT
In the context of globalization, the English language has been gradually gaining more notoriety on the world stage, a fact that makes it the target of questions that serve as a basis for the beginning of a research. Thus, this study aims to demonstrate the importance and the benefits of an autonomous learning of this foreign language based on definitions and concepts related to autonomy and motivation proposed by authors such as Dickinson (1994), Ushioda (1996) e Benson (2001). Based on these theoretical references, a class of freshmen was analyzed during the period in which the subject Learn to Learn a Foreign Language was taught as a mandatory curriculum component of the undergraduate course in Majoring in English Language offered by the Faculty of Modern Foreign Languages ​​(FALEM), at the Federal University of Pará (UFPA), during the second semester of 2014. With the teacher as one of the main motivating agents, at the end of the course, high levels of motivation were observed in most students. At the end of the investigation, it became evident that learning can be more effective when the learner starts to understand the functioning of the cognitive process and to know his/her own learning style.

Published: August 2021

<p>This study employed qualitative evidence synthesis (Saldaña, 2012) to critically examine and systematically analyze 63 studies published between 2000-2018 reporting positive educational impacts on English language learners (ELLs). Drawing on Scarcella’s (2003) academic English literacy framework and culturally responsive teaching (Gay, 2001), this study demonstrates three mechanisms to improve ELL outcomes. First, teachers should use both culturally responsive practices and knowledge of language acquisition. Second, fostering family and peer supports creates positive learning environments. Finally, long-term solutions require policies addressing the socio-politico-economic disparities affecting ELLs. These results show, in a synthesized fashion, an approach to equitable quality education for ELLs.</p><p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0661/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

Authors: Duong Vo Thi Thuy , Trang Nguyen Huynh 
Published: August 2021

<p>Extensive Reading (ER) is considered as a good learning technique to enhance every skill in language learning. It is considered to assist the improvement of other skills of language learners especially English as a Foreign Language (EFL) leaners. This study is designed to evaluate the effectiveness of ER on EFL learners’ writing performance and to identify the EFL learners’ attitude towards the effects of ER on writing performance. The study recruited a group of 59 non-English majors at a public university in Vietnam. The participants were divided into two groups, i.e., experimental group and control group. The participants in the experimental group were assigned extensive reading materials as their homework to support their learning of writing meanwhile the participants in the control group were guided to write without the support of extensive reading materials. To check the differences of the participants’ writing ability before and after the intervention, pre-test and post-test were employed. A questionnaire was also delivered to the experimental group after the treatment. The results from the tests revealed that ER supported EFL learners in their writing performance. The experimental group had more significant enhancement. The results obtained from the questionnaire also indicated that the EFL learners had positive attitudes towards the use of extensive reading materials provided in their writing learning process. </p><p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0870/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>
UNRAVELING THE POWER OF TEACHERS’ COMPETENCY AND TEACHING STYLES IN CURRICULUM IMPLEMENTATION: A PERSPECTIVE OF ENGLISH LANGUAGE AS A MEDIUM OF INSTRUCTION
Authors: Olieba Anne Nipher , Kikechi Ronald 
Published: August 2021

<p>The language policy in Rwanda states that English is the medium of Instruction (MOI) to be used in the Education system following the 2008 Language shift. However, this change in the MOI brought about extreme challenges to both Rwandan teachers and learners. Moreover, the extensive day to day usage of Kinyarwanda, the local dialect, has greatly inhibited the use of English. This has adversely obstructed the use of the English language as a MOI and the curriculum implementation for over 20 years hence adversely affecting the teaching and learning process. The proficiency of the teachers who are meant to teach in the MOI is quite questionable; many realize the need to learn English while teaching or risk unemployment. As such, this study purposed to examine the teacher competency and teaching styles in use of English as a MOI in facilitating curriculum implementation in rural primary schools in Rwanda. Guided by the inter language theory and the Discrepancy theory, the study applied a descriptive survey research design. With a target population of 3,269, the study entailed a sample of 1470 randomly selected learners from Primary 4 to Primary 6, teachers and head teachers from 21 schools. The study used questionnaires, interviews, and observation to collect primary data. The study found that the teachers’ competency in using English language as MOI had significant influence on curriculum implementation in rural primary schools in Muhanga district and in the entire republic of Rwanda. The teaching styles factors positively and significantly influence the use of MOI in curriculum implementation when other factors are held constant.</p><p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0807/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>
THE ROLE OF TEACHERS' VIEWS ON SCHOOL PERFORMANCE IN THEIR TEACHING APPROACH AND THEIR RELATIONSHIPS WITH STUDENTS: THE CASE OF MOUNTAINOUS AREAS AND PERIPHERY SECONDARY SCHOOL TEACHERS IN THE PREFECTURE OF ILIA, GREECE
Authors: Davou Eygenia , Raikou Natassa 
Published: August 2021

<p>The present study investigates to what extent teachers serving in mountainous areas and periphery schools consider that their perceptions on factors affecting school performance influence the way they choose their teaching practices and shape their attitudes towards students. In the survey, 133 secondary school teachers of the Prefecture of Ilia answered a questionnaire with closed-ended questions. According to teachers’ beliefs, school performance is influenced by socio-economic, educational and geographical factors. It is not associated with intelligence/brilliance and it can be improved with the help of the teaching staff. Teachers' expectations have an effect on their school performance, while the Curricula do not take into account the learning abilities of the students and the school evaluation does not assess the school performance in a meritocratic way. Nevertheless, positive expectations for the performance of weak students are maintained by choosing teaching practices that they believe will enhance their performance.</p><p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0800/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>
EFFECT OF CLASS ATTENDANCE ON ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE
Authors: Ancheta Ruel F. , Daniel Deny , Ahmad Reshma 
Published: August 2021

<p>Student attendance is one of the issues that most teachers in Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) is facing today. Many colleges and universities have compulsory attendance policies while others have refrain from making it as such. Despite the different policies, higher education teachers believe that attendance has positive effect in academic performance. Non-attendance in class lecture is seen as one of the reasons for academic failure. This study aimed to find out the relationship between class attendance and academic performance of the L3 Omani undergraduate students in their English courses during the first semester of 2020-2021. The two English Language courses comprise 20 credit each to gauge students’ English proficiency, at least IELTS 6.0, as a general entry requirement to Level 4 of the undergraduate programme. The two courses are taught separately through lectures, seminar type and practical sessions based on the module descriptors prescribed by the affiliate university. Each module is delivered in two hours and fifteen minutes per week. Thus, it is expected that each student has to attend the teaching sessions for 11 weeks with a total of 24 hours complete attendance in one semester. Result revealed that almost 71% of the L3 Omani undergraduate students had accumulated poor attendance which is below the 70% required attendance as per the attendance policy of the college. The average absence of students in the two English modules is identical with a minimum of five absences in a semester. Further, the result revealed that there is a significant relationship in the class attendance on the student performance in the two English modules at 0.01 level of significance. Therefore, the null hypothesis “There is no significant relationship between students’ class attendance and academic performance”, is rejected. The mark and absence of the students have negative inverse correlation. It means that as the absence of the student increases, the mark also decreases of at least 1 mark. It is concluded that students’ class attendance is very critical in terms of learning as it affects students’ achievement. To address the issue, a holistic approach to engage students both within and outside the classroom is recommended.</p><p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0897/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

Published: August 2021

The study intended to look back the experiences of the last batch of the university graduates taking Music, Arts and Physical Education as the area of specialization in Education in one of the Higher Education Institutions in Cebu, Philippines. Specifically, the study elaborated on the graduates’ personal and professional characteristics, retrospective evaluation, perceived levels of self-efficacy and lived experiences of the graduates on how the program aided them in their teaching profession. Concurrent mixed method was utilized in the study: (1) descriptive retrospective survey using a questionnaire (quantitative) and (2) narrative inquiry design (qualitative) using semi-structured interview with the nine graduates as the key informants of the study. All nine graduates are employed, with seven of them teaching in their field. Graduates’ retrospective evaluation of their university experience revealed that their practicum experience was the most relevant which provided them the edge and opportunity to taste
the reality of teaching. The strength of the program is identified in dance and sports while the teaching of health, music and arts-related courses were regarded weak. Graduates perceived level of self – efficacy was high as indicated by their ability to develop initiatives towards professional growth, and to work with people of different backgrounds. Further, three (3) emerging themes revealed as the self-instilled work values of the graduates such as persistence, love of work and open-mindedness that assisted them to be able to sustain and survive in their teaching career. This study concluded that Music, Arts and Physical Education (MAPE) is still relevant even with the existence of the new mandated Physical Education curricular program to the development of the knowledge, skills, attitudes and competencies of the MAPE graduates vis-à-vis to the demand and need of the labor market and of what is expected from them in this changing time.

Internet merupakan hal penting dan sudah menjadi kebutuhan bagi manusia di dunia pada umumnya, terlebih seperti kondisi sekarang ini. Jaringan internet bisa dijadikan konsep dimana beberapa komputer dalam suatu Perguruan Tinggi dapat saling berhubungan dan dapat berbagi data serta informasi yang terhubung dengan koneksi dunia. Dosen, karyawan, maupun mahasiswa (user) suatu waktu mengeluh karena penggunaan internet sangat lambat jika sedang padat pengguna. Karena adanya penggunaan Bandwidth yang berlebihan dan kurang termanajemennya dengan baik pada traffic jaringan, sehingga merugikan user lain. Tanpa adanya manajemen Bandwidth pada jaringan internet Universitas Muhammadiyah Bengkulu ini mengakibatkan pembagian Bandwidth tidak merata atau kurang maksimal. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian terdahulu pembagian Bandwidth pada jaringan internet Universitas Muhammadiyah Bengkulu menggunakan Simple Queue yang tidak teroptimalkan, namun seiring berjalannya waktu tidak digunakan lagi karena adanya perombakan topologi jaringan pada akhir Desember 2019. Oleh karenaitu coba diterapkanlah Manajemen Bandwidth dengan metode Queue Tree pada jaringan internet Universitas Muhammadiyah Bengkulu ini agar Bandwidth lebih stabil. Queue Tree memberikan limit kecepatan yang berbeda antara traffic game online dan browsing, kebutuhan Queue lebih detail berdasarkan service, protokol, port, dsb. Oleh karena itu manajemen Bandwidth di jaringan internet Universitas Muhammadiyah Bengkulu ini sangatlah dibutuhkan agar user tidak kecewa karena koneksi internet yang dirasa lambat. Hasil yang didapat dengan adanya pemisahan Queue Tree akses Upload maupun download kesumber internet serta akses user berdasarkan aktivitas dapat dipisah sehingga tidak saling mengganggu kebutuhan akses internet. Penerapan Queue Tree cukup rumit dan menguras energi, sehingga diharapkan admin jaringan memiliki pemahaman dasar jaringan yang baik.
