As educators, teachers don’t only play a role in teaching, but also are required to be able to encourage students. One of the teacher's roles according to the “Among” system proposed by Ki Hajar Dewantara is that the teacher needs to be in the midst of the students. One of the schools that implements the Among system is a non-formal high school X. This school formulates the role as teachers need to understand the students. However, in practice, many teachers feel confused in carrying out this role, especially when they have to listen to student’s stories. In addition, the Covid-19 situation increases the need for students to share stories with teachers. Therefore, a needs assessment to identify the teacher's listening skills was carried out so that the intervention could be implemented. Needs assessment is carried out using interview, observation, and document study techniques which are then analyzed using a problem tree. Interventions in the form of active listening online training that focus on techniques in the active listening element are given to teachers. The purpose of this training is to increase the teacher's active listening knowledge in carrying out that role. The results of the training showed that there was an increase in active listening comprehension perceived by the teachers. This training has a positive impact on students, which is the openness of students when teachers begin to apply active listening techniques. The teachers who participated in the training also felt more focused when carrying out their roles. Sebagai pendidik, guru tidak hanya berperan untuk mengajar namun juga dituntut untuk dapat memberikan motivasi dan dorongan kepada siswa. Salah satu peran guru menurut sistem among yang dikemukakan oleh Ki Hajar Dewantara yaitu guru perlu berada di “tengah” siswa. Salah satu sekolah yang menerapkan sistem among ini yaitu SMA non-formal X. Sekolah ini memformulasikan peran di tengah sebagai peran teman cerita yang perlu diemban oleh guru. Namun pada pelaksanaannya, banyak guru yang merasa kebingungan dalam menjalankan peran ini, terutama ketika harus mendengarkan siswa bercerita. Kondisi ini ditambah pula dengan situasi pandemi Covid-19 yang menambah kebutuhan bercerita siswa. Oleh karena itu, asesmen kebutuhan untuk mengidentifikasi kemampuan mendengarkan para guru dilakukan sehingga intervensi dapat dilaksanakan. Asesmen kebutuhan dilakukan dengan menggunakan teknik wawancara, observasi dan studi dokumen yang kemudian dianalisis menggunakan pohon masalah. Intervensi berupa pelatihan mendengar aktif yang berfokus pada teknik-teknik dalam elemen mendengar aktif diberikan kepada guru secara daring. Tujuan dari pelatihan ini yaitu untuk meningkatkan pengetahuan mendengar aktif guru dalam menjalankan peran sebagai teman cerita. Hasil pelatihan menunjukkan bahwa terdapat peningkatan pemahaman mendengar aktif secara subyektif yang dirasakan oleh guru. Pelatihan mendengar aktif juga memberikan dampak positif terhadap siswa, salah satunya yaitu keterbukaan siswa ketika guru mulai menerapkan teknik mendengar aktif dalam menjalankan peran sebagai teman cerita. Para guru yang mengikuti pelatihan juga merasa lebih fokus ketika menjalankan peran sebagai teman cerita.

Listening skills should be given more attention as listening takes precedence over anything else when it comes to acquiring a language (Putriani, Sukirlan & Supriyadi, 2013). Even with the booming of various technology to facilitate teaching and learning of listening skills in class, the assessment conducted to identify students’ level of understanding of certain topic is still not up-to-date and not parallel with the advancement of technology. The current studies show that the use of mobile apps for listening purpose is proven to be effective in reducing students’ anxiety (Rahimi & Soleymani, 2015), sustaining students’ motivation (Read & Kukulska-Hulme, 2015), and improving students’ linguistic competencies (Ramos & Valderruten, 2017). This study is aimed to test the effectiveness of mobile application in assessing students’ listening skills. Diploma students from various faculties in UiTM Shah Alam were randomly chosen to answer listening comprehension questions via the prototype developed, named Pocket E-Li. The results demonstrate that the majority of the students provided positive response towards the implementation of mobile application for listening assessment. Almost all respondents agreed that listening assessment should be conducted via mobile application in the future. It can be concluded that listening assessment via mobile application is beneficial to students since it meets the students’ demands and needs which is equivalent with the use of current technology.

Taiwan began to implement a new high school syllabus nationwide, in 2019. The Ministry of Education has also established a high school student Academic Portfolio System (APS) to collect the learning process of high school students for future university admissions references. However, during this period, high school students and their parents had many opinions on the implementation of the new system. There were even groups of students protesting. The main purpose of this research is to explore the factors that affect the system usage intentions of high school students. Based on the theory of reasoned action (TRA) and the technology acceptance model (TAM), this research established a research model. The research variables include system interface design, usefulness, ease of use, attitude, subjective norms, and usage intentions. A total of 712 questionnaires were collected from high school students in northern Taiwan. Data analysis is carried out in three stages: descriptive analysis, measurement model verification, and structural equation modeling. The results of the study found that system interface design has a significant impact on the perceived ease of use. Factors such as ease of use, usefulness, attitude, and subjective norms also have a significant positive impact on usage intention; ease of use and usefulness positively affect attitudes toward using. Finally, according to the results, some practical implications were proposed for implementation references from the perspectives of education authority, high schools, teachers, and students.
