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.
