  • Author: K. Kustyarini, Department of Language, Wisnuwardhana University, Malang, Indonesia

  • Published in: International Journal of Instruction, April 2020, Vol. 13, No. 2

  • Purpose: To analyze self-efficacy and emotional intelligence as mediators between active learning methods and student learning outcomes.

Research Context

  • Population: Indonesian language and literature education students in East Java.

  • Sample Size: 160 students participating in Indonesian Language courses.

  • Methodology: Data analysis using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM).

Key Findings

  • Active Learning Influence: The active learning method significantly impacts the learning outcomes of Indonesian language students.

    • Students' roles in active learning include expressing opinions, participating in group work, interacting with peers, and giving feedback.

    • Increased self-efficacy leads to better competency and goal achievement.

  • Emotional Intelligence Development: Active learning fosters emotional intelligence through self-regulation and motivation.

    • Students become better at managing emotions, hence improving resilience and problem-solving abilities.

  • Results on Learning Outcomes: Self-efficacy and emotional intelligence contribute positively to students' learning outcomes in Indonesian Language courses.

Keywords

  • Active Learning Method

  • Self-Efficacy

  • Emotional Quotient (Emotional Intelligence)

  • Learning Outcomes

Significance of Language Education

  • Essential for communication in community life.

  • Aids students in developing writing skills for academic purposes (e.g., reports and research).

  • Learning comprehension is crucial for academic success.

Perception of Active Learning

  • Student engagement in active learning correlates with success in learning outcomes.

  • Active learning encourages critical thinking, problem-solving, and meaningful learning experiences.

Theoretical Framework

  1. Self-Efficacy: Individual assessment of their ability to achieve academic goals.

    • Influences motivation and perseverance in the face of challenges.

  2. Emotional Intelligence: Includes understanding and managing one's own and others' emotions.

    • Affects performance and interpersonal relationships in an academic context.

Literature Review

  • Active Learning: Contextualizes learning, fosters student participation, and enhances academic performance.

  • The importance of self-efficacy in predicting academic achievement and influencing emotional states during learning.

  • Emotional quotient positively correlates with academic success.

Hypotheses Development

  • H1: Active learning methods positively influence student learning outcomes.

  • H2: Self-efficacy mediates the effect of active learning on learning outcomes.

  • H3: Emotional quotient mediates the effect of active learning on learning outcomes.

Research Methodology

  • Type: Explanatory study utilizing survey research (quantitative methods).

  • Operational Variables:

    • Active Learning: Student engagement in discussions, group work, and feedback mechanisms.

    • Self-Efficacy: Confidence in task completion and belief in personal ability.

    • Emotional Quotient: Understanding, managing emotions, and building relationships.

    • Learning Outcomes: Measure of academic skills achieved through the learning process.

Statistical Analysis

  • Used SEM for data analysis focusing on validity and reliability of indicators.

  • Goodness of Fit: Model supported by empirical data suggest positive relationships between active learning, self-efficacy, emotional quotient, and learning outcomes.

Conclusion

  • Active learning positively influences student outcomes in Indonesian language courses.

  • Further research needed to explore student perceptions of active learning and factors affecting individual learning outcomes, including emotional and cognitive domains.
