Classroom, and if they are unable to use WA and GC. She mentioned this matter in her accounts below.
Excerpt 55
“If something that doesn't have to be ee via zoom we can use the WA line, for example we want to post references or text assignments, it can be in Google Classroom, the point is to optimize tools for communication “(09:00-11:30) (12-23-2022)
The lecturer also Will likely agrees to be invited in an open discussion by the students as mentioned in her accounts below.
Excerpt 56
“Supposedly, teachers want to be invited to open discussion
“(09:00-11:30) (12-23-2022)
The lecture categorize that maximize tools is something that really important to both students and lecturer in order to create a good and effective communication, there is only one points to make the communication more effective is that to make the online tools available in learning activity which means teacher or lecture have to maximize the use of online tools in order to create an effective communication by using an adequate tool. She described this issue in her accounts below.
Excerpt 57
“Actually, communication is not only established in the classroom, yes, but it can also be outside the classroom we also have a group wa we have zoom we have googled classroom so that communication so that it is effective in using all lines wa path googleclassroom path then zoom path if something of a nature does not have to be “(09:00-11:30) (12-23-2022)
The participant defines that all students are unique, all students are unique on their own, and the uniqueness of each is diverse. She described the matter in her accounts below:
Excerpt 58
“In my opinion, mostly all students are also unique, but the level of uniqueness is different"(09:00-11:30) (12-23-2022)
Based on the participant description, the lecturers want students to be role models of a reader for students, and that students must be a good example for other students, not just lecturers but the students as well, they have to be able to motivate each other through giving examples of reading itself. She mentioned this matter in her accounts below.
Excerpt 59
“I really want the student to be a role model for other students, for example in ER giving examples to each other, the main thing is reading often, so that's what he wants him to inspire”
In theory, it is only stated that the teacher must be a role model for students, but in OER class, it turns out that students are also needed to be role models for classmates, from students, and for the students themselves.
Furthermore, Not only are students expected to be examples and motivators, but they are also expected to be able to promote on social media that reading is like this and that. It can be concluded that lecturers want students to promote reading because it has many benefits, reading is good, reading can enrich themselves and add insight, and reading can be promoted through anything, any social media. She continued to describe the issues in her accounts below.
Excerpt 60
The participant practices in learning environments explained with only one sub-theme, namely factors affecting OER learning environment. Detailed description of this matter is presented in the following section.
4.2.11.1 Factors Affecting OER Learning Environment
The participant described that there are numerous aspects that affected the learning environment, she delineates that it can originate from the lecturer himself or even the student's peers themselves. These factors include, the lecturer's bad impression and expression during the class would likely affect students in the class, it makes students feel scared, reluctant to talk to the lecturer. She mentioned this issues in her accounts below.
Excerpt 61
“Yes, the learning environment affects students in learning, for example in the classroom, the teacher's learning environment not happy the teacher is not friendly so yes surely it affects the students so reluctant yes to inforce reluctant to tell stories it certainly scares students “(09:00-11:30) (12-23-2022)
Therefore, the teacher's personality and the way they conduct themselves in the classroom will have an impact on the learning environment for the students. If a teacher has a bad habit, such as being unapproachable or always having a sad-looking expression, it will discourage students from wanting to communicate and may even make them fearful
It is crucial for teachers and students to act as role models for learners by motivating student learning in OER classes since, as stated in the previous sentence, not only teachers but also other students can negatively affect the learning environment and affect students' motivation to learn, there are three things that can affect students learning motivation in learning environment. She emphasizes this further in her accounts below.
Excerpt 62
“Some classmates are annoying, yes, when there is group work,
participated in anything, it also affects their motivation” (09:00-11:30) (12-23-2022)
The lecturer, as the participant of this study, continued to outline the elements of the learning environment that students require. These components are as follows; the material must be a lot and the activity must be various. Not only that, the teacher and the students have to motivate students in the class by making a compact teamwork and support. She describes this matter in her accounts below.
Excerpt 63
“The material must be a lot, the activities must be varied, the teacher must also give an example of having to motivate then Friends in their class must also motivate each other to be compact so that teamwork, so the factors must be all, must be supportive, complex “(09:00-11:30) (12-23-2022)
