Predicting EFL Learners’ Self-Regulated Learning through Technology Acceptance Model

The purpose of this study is to assess the perceived usefulness of technology (PUT), internet self-efficacy (ISE), and perceived ease of use of technology (PEUT), and self-regulated learning (SRL) of EFL student teachers who participated in technology-mediated English learning environment. After obtaining and validating the questionnaire adapted from several relevant sources, an online survey was conducted to 363 third- and fourth-year student teachers of the English education department in Indonesian universities who met the required criteria. SEM was performed to test three hypotheses about the causal relationship between variables. Due to the hypotheses tested, it is revealed that ISE and PEUT have a partially positive and significant effect on SRL, while PUT has a positive but insignificant effect on SRL. Additionally, it is determined that the exogenous variables (PEUT) is the most influential variable on the endogenous variables (SRL). These findings are expected to add to a body of knowledge, particularly in the development of learning autonomy in teacher education, and that ISE and PEUT, in particular, should be considered as important predictors of SRL in technological English learning setting.

Islamic Universities in Egypt and Indonesia as Tools of Liberal Governance: How States Use them to Canonize Reformed Versions of Islam

Abstract This article examines how liberal states regulate religion through a comparative study of government-run Islamic universities in Egypt and Indonesia. Building on recent historical scholarship, it is argued that, contrary to conventional views, liberal states have frequently endorsed government intervention in religious life – including “authoritarian” repression of disfavored religious beliefs and practices. Liberal interventionist policies were first developed in Europe during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, where they were applied most intensely to Catholics. The policies were then brought to the Muslim world during the colonial era, and have been maintained by liberal post-colonial Muslim states like Egypt and Indonesia. It is argued that such Muslim states utilize heavy government intervention to promote liberal ideals of “civilizational progress” (i.e., development) and “religiously inclusive nationalism”. Intervention is carried out, in large part, through state-run systems of religious education, which include Islamic universities. Such universities canonize reformed “progressive” “nationalist” versions of Islam, while simultaneously decanonizing “fanatic” versions of Islam which oppose civilizational progress and religiously inclusive nationalism. It is shown that the canonization process involves ascribing unique importance to particular languages, places, persons, and texts associated with the Islamic tradition.

From classroom to entrepreneurship: the link between educator competencies, entrepreneurial literacy and entrepreneurial behaviour in higher education

PurposeThe aim of this study is to examine the relationship between educators' professional competence, pedagogical competence and the entrepreneurial behaviour of students in higher education as well as the role of entrepreneurial literacy in mediating these variables.Design/methodology/approachThe study involved a sample of 361 students from several universities in Indonesia. A probability sampling method approach with cluster sampling was applied to collect the data, which aims to ensure the representation of each region in Indonesia. The data were retrieved through self-administered questionnaires and structural equation modelling was employed to analyse the relationship between each variable.FindingsThe results revealed a positive and significant relationship between educator competencies and students' entrepreneurial behaviour: professional competence (β = 0.26, p < 0.001) and pedagogical competence (β = 0.27, p < 0.001), indicating that higher educator competencies levels were associated with greater students' entrepreneurial behaviour. The mediation analysis showed that entrepreneurial literacy was partially mediated for professional competence (LL = 0.42; UL = 0.460, p < 0.008) and fully mediated for pedagogical competence (β = 0.021; β = 0.375, p < 0.058).Research limitations/implicationsA study solely concerned with a specific group of educators and students in a particular region as well as a cross-sectional study, may lead to generalisations of the findings. Future studies could expand the sample size and include a more diverse group of participants to increase the external validity of the results.Practical implicationsIt offers valuable insights for educational institutions, policymakers and educators themselves, who can use the findings to design effective entrepreneurship education programmes and initiatives.Originality/valueThis study contributes to the field of higher education by emphasising the importance of educators as catalysts for entrepreneurship and by providing guidance on how to enhance their competencies and literacy in fostering entrepreneurial behaviour among students.

The Importance of System Transition in The Transfer of State Assets Management to Public Institutions: Analysis at The State Islamic University - Public Service Agency in Indonesia

State Higher Education Institutions in Indonesia have experienced a paradigm shift in their management, one of which is the State Islamic University. More than half of State Islamic Universities have Public Service Agency status. They focus on teaching, research, and community service as their primary business and must manage assets professionally and with economic value as potential income. This study seeks to uncover and assess asset management and management transformation of UINs with BLU status. This study uses a qualitative research paradigm with a multi-site approach. This research used in-depth interviews conducted naturally with key informants at three state Islamic universities in Indonesia that have had BLU status for more than ten years. These three universities are considered to have experience in managing assets and carrying out transformation. Data analysis approaches are Domain and Content Analysis. The research data is presented in four domains: cash management, tangible asset management, intangible asset management, and endowment fund management. Research data found that UINs with BLU status still manage assets in a normative and conservative manner. This finding is because UIN, which has BLU status, has yet to transform its university management fully. This study shows that there are demands for UIN with BLU status to transform from a government institution into an "agencification" and semi-autonomous system in line with the delegation of management of state assets from the central government.

The Literature Course Mapping in the Undergraduate Curricula of EFL Education: A Case Study in Several Countries in Asia

This study aims to map the literature course in the undergraduate curricula of English as a Foreign Language (EFL) education in Asia, particularly in Indonesia, Thailand, and Taiwan[1], and analyze the literature course mapping in the Indonesian, Thai, and Taiwanese undergraduate curricula of EFL education. The significance of the study lies in its contribution to the structure of the undergraduate curriculum of EFL education, addressing global higher education challenges in the twenty-first century. This research employed a case study approach in Asia involving quantitative mapping of curricula documents from several universities in Indonesia, Thailand, and Taiwan, followed by qualitative analysis of curricula documents. The results indicate that, on average, the twelve target universities allocate 6% of the total obligatory completed semester credits to the literature course for a Bachelor of Teaching degree. Most of these universities position the literature course at a moderately low level with their curricula. Ideally, the literature course allocation could be increased to 15% if the linguistics and general language skills course group is also set at 15%, while the elective course group should be at 6%. Since the data were validated using time triangulation, future research should explore additional data validation techniques, such as in-depth interviews or questionnaires.
