In the current study, it was aimed to evaluate the Turkish 11th grade English language curricula implemented in Turkey in terms of achieved learning outcomes. In the study, case study model was employed. The data were obtained from 20 11th grade high school students and an English language teacher in the spring term of 2018-2019 academic year. “Learning Outcomes Questionnaire for Students” was prepared by the researchers in order to obtain data from the students to determine their self-efficacy perceptions about achieving the Turkish 11th grade English curriculum learning outcomes. The second data collection tool was “Learning Outcomes Questionnaire for Teachers”. This questionnaire was also prepared by the researchers for the teachers to determine teachers’ opinions about the degree that students achieved the learning outcomes. Open-ended questions were prepared and asked to the teacher to obtain the qualitative data Moreover, classroom observations were carried out during four weeks, and one class hour of observation was made per week. The findings of the study showed that the students’ self-efficacy perception on “Pronunciation” skill was at highest level (X = 3.68) while their perception on “Reading” skill was at lowest (X = 2.94). Similarly, the teacher’s mean score was at highest level for “Pronunciation” skill while it was lowest for “Reading” skill.

The Purpose of this study was to investigate the appropriateness of newly developed Iranian high school English textbook “Vision2” from teachers’ points of view. 25 male and female high school English teachers were randomly selected from Hormozgan province, Iran to participate in the study. The evaluation of textbook was conducted quantitatively through a 3-points Likert scale checklist which was proposed by Dr. Montasser Mohamed AbdelWahab (2013). The data was subjected to analysis through descriptive statistics. Findings indicated that although the book has some strong sides, teachers pointed to major weaknesses in textbook in terms of lack of glossary list, shortage of time to cover the stated objectives and a need to recycling the newly learned vocabularies in subsequent lessons. In the light of these findings, the researcher reported some recommendations to address the slight drawbacks of the English language textbook for 11th grade. The findings of the study would be useful for teachers and material developers.

ABSTRACTThis study aims to find out the profile of teachers' constructivist practice and it effects on self-efficacy and student cognitive learning outcomes. The subjects of the study are two Biology teachers and a group of first year high school students in Kayen district, Pati. The instrument of data collection is consists of questionnaire, observation sheet, and score document. The data of the research are analyzed with quantitative approach. The results show that both teachers get average score of 3,16 and 3,63. Those scores are classified as high criterion. Based on the N-gain test, the result of students’ cognitive learning has medium to high criteria. The students' cognitive and self-efficacy learning outcomes in all classes before and after constructivist practice on learning by teachers significantly differ (p <0.05). Although the result of student's self-efficacy in N-gain test shows low to moderate criteria, the result of the analysis shows that there is positive correlation in students’ self-efficacy caused by constructivist practice by teachers with cognitive learning outcomes. It can be concluded that a profile of teachers' constructivist practice is classified as high category which has positive effect on self-efficacy and student learning outcomes. Keyword: cognitive learning achievment, constructivist, self-efficacy ABSTRAKPenelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui profil praksis konstruktivis guru serta pengaruhnya terhadap self efficacy dan hasil belajar kognitif siswa.

Background: The application of mobile learning (m-learning), especially in the area of language learning, has gained interest in the last several years due to the benefits offered by mobile devices. However, to maximize the effectiveness of m-learning, students are required to be ready. Thus, it is crucial to assess students’ readiness before implementing m-learning. By focusing on rural schools, this quantitative study aims to examine students’ readiness in implementing m-learning in their English language learning. Methodology: This study employed a survey design to measure m-learning readiness of senior high school students by investigating three factors, namely mobile self-efficacy, optimism, and self-directed learning. Through an online questionnaire, 140 responses were successfully collected from students in two public senior high schools (one high school and one vocational high school) located in a rural area in Soppeng, Indonesia. The data collected were subsequently analyzed using SPSS Statistics ver. 25. Findings: The results revealed that senior high school students from a rural area in Soppeng, Indonesia, had a high level of self-efficacy and optimism in implementing m-learning in their English language learning. However, their self-directed learning was still at a moderate level. Moreover, further analysis showed that type of school significantly affected students’ mobile self-efficacy and optimism, while self-directed learning was not affected. Conclusion: Students from rural senior high schools in Soppeng, Indonesia, showed readiness in implementing m-learning for English language learning purposes.

The study aims to analyze the relationship between English language skills and the students' learning outcomes in chemistry learning that uses English as the medium of instruction (EMI). This qualitative descriptive study was conducted on 40 high school students. Data is collected and analyzed in the form of the test result of the language skills and learning outcomes. The results for students' language skills: 75 % of students are at level A2 (primary user), 15 % are at level B1 (intermediate), 5 % are at level B2 (upper-intermediate), and 5 % are at level C1 (advance/proficient user). The students' chemistry learning results are averagely low, i.e., 70 % of students gained a score under 75 as the minimum criteria of standard learning,  only 30 % of students reached the score above the KKM (Criteria of Minimum Competency). The conclusion of this research is that there is a relationship between language skills and chemistry learning outcomes. Learning chemistry in English has not given good results for students' learning outcomes. Therefore, the demands of learning in English need to be supported by good language skills to understand the learning content.

Students often interpret science lessons as more difficult lessons compared to other subjects because these subjects require more learning effort and when students lose their desire to follow science subjects, they tend to perceive less ability in the field of science, this can have an impact on unsatisfactory student learning outcomes. Self-efficacy is the strongest predictor of academic achievement, because self-efficacy influences behavioural choices, namely choosing the field to be mastered, determining how much effort is exerted and influencing thought patterns and emotional reactions. Self-efficacy can be grown and learned. Therefore, the teacher's role is very important in increasing student self-efficacy. This study was conducted to find out the description of the self-efficacy of high school students towards science lessons, the factors that cause science high school students to have low self-efficacy, what efforts have been made and what efforts have not been made by teachers to overcome the problems of students who have low science self-efficacy. Based on the results of data collection, a module for teachers was compiled which aims to increase students' self-efficacy towards science lessons.
