In the last two decades, teaching spoken English to EFL students has become a critical issue in the TESOL context. However, a few studies touch upon how EFL learners are taught to speak English spontaneously. Learning to speak English spontaneously in large classes becomes a big challenge for ESOL teachers because of space and time constraints. In response to this growing need, this article provides an empirical account of how modified role playing, more student-centered learning, is implemented as an innovative learning design in an EFL university setting where a large class is concerned. Data were garnered from open-ended and close-ended questionnaires, students’ personal narratives, and photovoices. These data were analyzed using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA). Findings of the study show that the students were finally able to survive in their speaking tasks, engaging them in a real-life communicative encounter. This study concludes with some pedagogical implications for how a teacher as a curriculum designer engages students in motivating and anxiety-free speaking tasks.

AbstractThe concept of “space as the third teacher” suggests that the learning environment is as important as the teacher in the learning process. A constructivist pedagogical paradigm requires student-centered learning processes and learners to be autonomous and active. Therefore, more and more stakeholders and policy makers interested in school innovation put school buildings and learning environments at the top of their agendas. The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), the European Commission and many universities all over the world are observing case studies and promoting guidelines to implement new ways to design and furnish schools. Indire is leading a research project on educational architectures, which promotes a support framework, entitled “1 + 4 Learning Spaces for a New Generation of Schools.” It is aimed at architects, municipalities, school principals and other stakeholders involved in the design, development and use of innovative learning environments.

Though lecturing (speech) method is simpler for lecturer because simple class organization and he can control entire class direction, but its weakness is he difficult to know whether students have understood his discussion or not. Student’s learning effectiveness generally limited, only a critical moment near final test. One effort to support the improvement of learning quality is applying Student Centered Learning (SCL) approach. SCL is an activity that therein student work individually and also as group to exploring problems, searching knowledge actively rather than passive knowledge receiver. Learning method based on the SCL more appropriate to be applied at learning process in university, especially at Social Research Method course (MPS). Following John W. Best, “the best way to learn research is to do it,” so research method not only concerning cognitive domain, but also affective and psychomotor. Among learning technique based on SCL are jigsaw technique, hypothetical situation technique, and role-playing and simulation technique. .

This study aims to produce ICT-based learning media for Vocational High Schools (VHS) in the form of ICT-based accounting multimedia application, named “Multimedia Akuntansi” (MAKSI) on bank reconciliation material. The development of learning media is done because of the limited number of innovative learning media available for VHS students, especially in the accounting field. The condition is influential on the students' low level of understanding. This research was research and development using the ADDIE (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, Evaluation) model. The use of the ADDIE model is because the model is flexible, so it can be used for learning instrument development. At each phase of development, evaluation and revision were conducted so that the resulting product became a valid and reliable product. This development resulted in MAKSI proven to be suitable for use in accounting learning. The feasibility of MAKSI was evaluated from the average score of product feasibility validation from the material expert by 87%, from the media expert of 96%, and the result of the students' evaluation by 88.7%. MAKSI can help the learning process more enjoyable so that the media is interesting and proven to improve students' understanding significantly. MAKSI can be a complement, alternative, and variation of learning media in VHS. This product can be operated via laptops/computers as well as smartphones through free downloads in Play Store. The utilization of MAKSI is in accordance with the curriculum demand on the utilization of ICT in the learning process to support independent and student-centered learning.

The Creation

The article establishes that the student-centered approach is a requirement of time, a response to the educational needs of higher education seekers, as well as employers. The purpose of the article is to generalize the concepts, determine the basic properties and requirements of student-centered education on the basis of the analysis of the national legislation and scientific works of domestic scientists. It was found that the essence of the corresponding paradigm is that the applicant for higher education is a conscious, active, full-fledged, responsible subject of his studies and his own life. It is revealed that the main requirements of the student-centered approach are the creation of an educational environment that takes into account the needs, interests, abilities, general characteristics of applicants, focused on them, as well as establishing between teachers and students as the main subjects of the educational process. mutual respect and trust. It is stated that the full implementation of the student-centered approach is possible only by providing a set of organizational and normative (relevant provisions of educational legislation and local regulations) and psychological and pedagogical, including methodological, (forms, methods and technologies of teaching) to enhance cognitive activity VO, therefore, should provide for solving problems, discussing them in a group, forming and justifying their position) conditions. Emphasis is placed on the fact that student-centered learning is learning that requires the creation of opportunities for higher education to build an individual educational trajectory. As a result of the analysis of the domestic educational legislation it is revealed that ways of realization of an individual educational trajectory are a choice by applicants of educational disciplines of not less than 25% of volume of ECTS credits on OP, and also a possibility of a choice of forms, methods, technologies of training. research, etc. Key words: human-centeredness, academic freedom, higher education, educational program, subject of study, innovative learning technologies, individual educational trajectory.

Scientific Topic

Chemistry learning particularly colloid material has a scientific topic that measuring up to abstract and emphasizes the mastery of concepts until the microscopic level (molecular) symbolic. Thus, the implementation of learning need to be completed. Up till now, chemistry learning process is still dominantly conventional in teacher-centered, so that the students tend to be passive and less interested in learning.   Therefore, it is necessary to develop an innovative learning to improve student’s learning activities, by integrating Technology, Pedagogy, and Content Knowledge (TPACK). Through the integration of TPACK, abstract material can be concrete with the use of simulation, as well as the learning will be student-centered learning by means of Inquiry Based Learning (IBL) model, so that students are more active in their learning and students’ Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) will be achieved. The results indicating that learning activities at the meeting I 96.25%, meeting II 92.98%, meeting III 95.29%, and meeting IV 91.18% , all of them belong to the category of "highly optimized". Student test scores on average 64.6 which belong to the category of "quite".

Education Environment

This chapter explores how information and communications technology (ICT) can be designed to maximize human computer interactions (HCI) in order to create a student-centered learning environment within large classes by enabling small-group discourse. Through an empirical case study of student participation through computer-mediated-communication the chapter demonstrates how the flexibility created in the online environment enables students in large classes, particularly students from non-English speaking backgrounds, to participate at a pace that enables them to contribute considered opinions to a small-group discourse. The case study reiterates the argument that HCI is best achieved when ICTs and face-to-face classes are combined. It is argued that in so doing HCI assists the higher education environment to both meet the demands for mass-market, consumer-driven, globally accessible higher educational, as well as addressing industry demand for graduates with advanced problem-solving and analytical and reflective skills who are able to work collaboratively in teams.
