The utilisation of technology into classroom practices basically promotes studentcentered instructions that require teachers to be professionally well trained and confident enough to use various technology tools and resources. This study was conducted to explore secondary school EFL teachers’ experiences and practices of modern technology usage into their classroom pedagogy and possible impediments of utilizing technology tools. Eight EFL teachers were purposefully selected from public secondary schools of the Kathmandu valley. A semi-structure interview was administered to collect the required data. The thematic data analysis revealed that the EFL teachers employed different pedagogical strategies for the effective integration of technology; however, some impediments were identified such as insufficient professional ICT skills and knowledge of EFL teachers, inadequate ICT infrastructure at school, teachers’ workload and time constraint, and digital device among students. This study suggests that EFL teachers need professional development trainings particularly designed on the TPACK framework, adequate ICT infrastructure at school, revised teachers’ workload and time constraint, and supportive school environment to promote technology utilization into EFL pedagogy.

“Flipped classroom” is one of the popular blended learning approaches in Higher Education (HE) with significant use of technology. A “flipped” course typically engages students to do pre-class online learning at their own pace; the teachers then design active learning activities to reinforce students’ online learning in a physical classroom setting. Although literatures suggest that active learning after self-directed online learning can take place not only in traditional lectures hall but also online learning spaces, there is a lack of studies that investigate how the “relocation” of the face-to-face component online would affect students’ learning. As the COVID-19 pandemic has suspended face-to-face teaching on HE campuses worldwide, this article seizes the opportunity to examine the difficulties and possibilities of conducting flipped learning totally online. By evaluating the delivery of a flipped course for 46 research postgraduate students in Hong Kong during the pandemic-stricken period, the teaching team of the captioned course summarizes how the paradigm shift of flipped learning from partially online to totally online simultaneously distort and create new dynamics of in-class interaction and collaboration. Recommendations on how to better implement and research “flipped learning totally online” as a pedagogy across multiple disciplines will also be highlighted.

Nowadays, our world is experiencing a technological revolution and witnessing an explosion in the field of information and communication. The use of technology in English education is one of the developments associated with this contemporary scientific and technological advance. This paper discusses some issues which Saudi English teachers encounter in using technology in teaching English subjects at intermediate schools in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Taking a qualitative approach, the researcher focuses on the status of using technology in two intermediate schools. A discrepancy is found between intention and practice. During investigations and observations throughout the district, the researcher could not find a language laboratory in government intermediate schools. In this paper, the researcher will discuss three issues respectively as follows: teacher resistance, lack of training and self-confidence, and financial obstacles.

Abstract Both the attitude of the preservice teacher and the subjective norm in the teacher-training program play a crucial role in the process towards inclusive education (Donnelly & Watkins, 2011). However, little research has been done on influencing the attitudes of preservice teachers via the subjective norm. Two studies were carried out using a pre- and post-test with students of the teacher-training program (N = 24, N = 34) who were divided into 2 experimental conditions in which the subjective norm was manipulated in the form of positive or negative discourse towards pupils with disabilities. Attitudes were assessed by the Chedoke-McMaster Attitudes Towards Children With Disabilities (CATCH) Scale (Rosenbaum, Armstrong, & King, 1986). Results show that we can cautiously assume that the subjective norm has an influence on the attitudes of the preservice teachers and that cognitive dissonance was experienced in which preservice teachers changed their own attitudes as a function of the subjective norm. The results of this study are therefore a plea for teacher education programs to not only focus on strong inclusive curricula but also pay sufficient attention to the inclusive mindset of teacher educators as role models for preservice teachers.

Do So

Currently, the use of technology has become one of the most popular educational trends in Higher Education. One of the most popular methods on the Higher Education stage is the Flipped Classroom, characterised by the use of both face-to-face and virtual teaching through videos and online material, promoting more autonomous, flexible and dynamic teaching for students. In this work, we started to compile the main articles that used Flipped Classroom within the mathematical area in Higher Education, with the aim of analysing their main characteristics, as well as the impact caused on students. To do so, the method of systematic review was used, focusing on those empirical experiences published in Web of Sciences and Scopus. The results indicated that, in most cases, the implementation of Flipped Classroom led to an improvement in students’ knowledge and attitudes towards mathematical content and discipline. In addition, aspects such as collaborative work, autonomy, self-regulation towards learning or academic performance were benefited through this method.

Utilizing technology in the classroom characterizes the 21st century teachers. Therefore, teachers are demanded to be able to use technology in pedagogical practices in order to fulfill their students’ needs facing rapidly digitalized life. This study was designed to investigate the perceptions of a group of in-service English as Foreign Language (EFL) teachers who studied at a Teacher Profession Education program at a state university, concerning the application of technology within challenges they faced during their study. This study used qualitative research with narrative approach as a strategy of inquiry. The data were obtained by using a semi-structure interview with the in-service teachers and documentation. The data were analyzed using thematic analysis. The results of the study showed that the participants generally perceived positively the technology integration taught by their university instructors during their study time at the Teacher Profession Education program although there was a negative response when they were firstly introduced with the technology. It might have been caused by their lack of technological knowledge. The result also revealed that the participants found it challenging when it came to the use of novel technology as introduced and applied by their university instructors. In addition, their own integration of technology during their Teaching Practice was a challenge due to the students’ low motivation to engage in the online learning activity which was the mode of learning. The findings of this study suggest that teachers need to advance their skills and knowledge to utilize technology in supporting their pedagogical practices.

English Academic Writing

The purpose of this qualitative study was to examine the experiences of Indonesian student teachers in English academic writing socialization at one public university teacher-training program in Jambi, Indonesia. The theoretical framework of cultural capital was used to guide the study. The data were collected through demographic profiles and semi-structured in- depth interviews with student teachers. The constant comparative method guided the data analysis. Five salient themes that emerged in this research were (1) no writing cultural backgrounds, (1) needing long-lasting exposure and internalization, (3) lack of academic writing socialization, (4) lack of institutional supports, and (5) lack of lecturers’ help due to higher power distance. The findings of this study provide evidence for policy makers and teacher educators to understand how teacher education management related to the English academic writing internalization should be improved at the program level. Policy implications and suggestions for future research are discussed.

The Impact

El propósito del presente artículo es realizar un análisis documental a partir de una reflexión conceptual de evaluación desde la socioformación, donde las rúbricas permiten evaluar el desempeño, e identificar el impacto que tienes los cursos presenciales con sus respectivas características en los formadores activos. Para la metodología se tuvieron en cuenta las categorías, y subcategorías que se emplearon para eficientizar la información puesta en la cartografía conceptual al estudiar un concepto o teoría a partir de documentos. Respecto a los resultados, existe una distancia entre los cursos que se imparten a los docentes y la forma de llevarlos a su práctica docente, además de ausencia y pertinencia en temas sustanciales sobre el desarrollo sostenible. Se concluye que aun cuando a los formadores de docentes activos se les ofrece un programa de capacitación, se siguen reproduciendo contenidos programáticos desde su óptica, de lo que a su juicio el estudiante deberá aprender. The purpose of this article is to carry out a documentary analysis from a conceptual reflection of the evaluation from the socioformation, where the rubrics allow to evaluate the performance and to identify the impact that the face-to-face courses with their respective characteristics have on active trainers. For the methodology, the categories and subcategories that were used to make the information put into the conceptual cartography efficient when studying a concept or theory from documents were taken into account. Regarding the results, there is a distance between the courses that are taught to teachers and the way to take them to their teaching practice, in addition to the absence and relevance of substantial topics on sustainable development. Conclusions: Even when active teacher educators offer them a training program, programmatic content continues to be reproduced from their perspective, from which, in their opinion, the student must learn.
