Abstract

This study explores the implementation of English as a Foreign Language (EFL) teaching practices pre-covid and post-Covid pandemic. This paper employs a narrative review of selected articles that shed light on instructional challenges and opportunities in the transition from traditional classroom teaching to online and hands-on learning. The methodology employed in this study used the Google Scholar database to select pertinent studies with keywords within the title field, spanning the years 2019-2022. This study acknowledges the impact of the pandemic on English language teaching, highlighting the need for creative teaching methods and a hybrid of online and face-to-face learning for effectiveness. This paper also stresses the significance of ongoing support to address technical challenges and ensure a smooth learning experience for students. The findings highlight the shift from traditional EFL teaching to remote teaching post-COVID, stress challenges such as digital literacy, and limited resources. This necessitates ongoing support for educators to navigate online and blended learning, integrate technology, and adapt to developing teaching methodologies.

Eka Hermansyah, Charyna Ayu Rizkyanti, Lukman Nul Hakim. Vol 10, No 1 (2024) Rasch Calibration and Differential Item Functioning (DIF) Analysis of the School Well-Being Scale for Students. DOI: https://doi.org/10.33394/jk.v10i1.10759

Abstract

This study aims to examine the quality of the school well-being scale for high school students..This study used a quantitative approach with Rasch model analysis. The validity, reliability, and differential item functioning (DIF) assessment are all part of the psychometric examination. The 165 high school students in Mataram, West Nusa Tenggara province who took part in this research were 40 males and 125 girls, ages 11 to 18 (mean age = 15.87, SD = 1.39). The findings of the Rasch analysis show the instrument passes the validity test but has weak reliability. The statistical analysis of the Cronbach alpha reliability coefficient of the instrument is 0.43. More detailed results are shown by the Rasch model analysis reliability of person on 0.47 and item reliability of 0.98. This result explains the good quality of the instrument, while the reliability of the instrument needs to be strengthened by controlling the demographic factors. The scale can be used by school management to understand well-being of the students, and further for the improvement of school quality
