ABSTRACT
Ariyati.S891302007, 2015:
English Teachers Beliefs and Practices of Scientific
Approach (SA) in English Teaching: A Case of Indonesia.
Thesis. Surakarta.
English Education Department of Graduate School, Sebelas Maret University,
2015.
The objectives of this study are to explore the teachers beliefs in SA; to
reveal how the beliefs are reflected in classroom practices; and to figure out the
factors affecting their beliefs and practices of SA to the teaching of English.
This research was conducted at Boyolali from August 2014 to November
2014 with four experienced English teachers from four senior high schools. This
qualitative research applied case study. Data were garnered from classroom
observation, face-to-face interview, and documentation. Interactive models from
Miles and Huberman was used to examine the data.
The findings show that (1) the participants believe in the conception of SA.
They also believe that SA is important and gives impact to students progress.
They believe that by applying SA, the target of language learning is acquired. As
to learning procedure, they believe that scientific steps are conducted in sequence
by combining some steps for each. (2) Teachers formulate their beliefs of
applying the five-scientific steps by integrating all steps by keeping the sequence.
Teachers argue that target of language learning can be attained by some ways,
namely presence of theoretical and practical support, teachers guidance,
providing variety of media and motivation to students. As regard classroom
interaction, teachers let students apprehend the knowledge by working group and
decide to combine English and L2 as means of communication. (3) There are five
factors which influence teachers beliefs and practices of SA, namely learning and
teaching experience, teachers motivation, sharing with colleagues and facility.
This study concludes that teachers believe in the importance of SA, therefore they
implement it in classroom. Anyway, there are factors which make the beliefs are
not fully implemented.
It is recommended that teachers need to learn more about how to be
effective teachers and learn 2013 curriculum as well. Adjustment of the document
is necessary done by the policy maker. The school policy provides appropriate
budgeting for the teachers professional development, learning facilities as local
training. Further researcher is recommended to explore more the concerns.

psychologically held understandings, premises, or propositions about
the world that are felt to be true . Johnson (1994:439) says that beliefs have
impact to both perception and judgment that effects what teachers say and do in
the classroom. It is supported by Pajares (1992) who says that teachers beliefs
have a greater influence than the teachers knowledge on designing lesson plan,
on the decision they make and on the practices in classroom.

Scientific-based approach is the basis for deciding the learning steps to get new knowledge
and communicative skill by applying five scientific steps namely observing,
questioning, experimenting, associating, communicating.
result to others. The activities can be demonstrating, writing and publicizing the
work through wall magazine or learning journal, etc.
Curriculum also suggests teacher to apply other learning models in language
teaching. There are three models proposed in English curriculum, namely
discovery learning, project based learning and problem based learning (Minister
of Education and Culture Regulation number 59, 2014:512-524).
Z[ \] ^ _`ab
ry
cbdr
e]efThe steps have to be carried out in learning are the following:
(a) Creating stimulus
The activity is carried out when the students observe phenomenon by reading,
listening, watching. The phenomenon observed can be both simple
phenomenon and complicated one.
(b) Preparing problem statement
Opportunity to identify problems dealing with a text is provided in this stage.
Students are invited to select one and then create hypothesis formulation.
(c) Data collecting
Students answer the hypothesis to collect data or information. Students can
collect data by watching video, interviewing with participants, conducting
research by their own self, and so on.
(d) Data processing
(e) Data verifying
In this stage, students are motivated to find out new concept by accurately
investigating the fact to prove the hypothesis. Teacher gives opportunity to
students to find out the new concept.
(f) Creating conclusion
Conclusion is the process of creating conclusion. It is based on the
verification result.
Choosing this discovery learning, surely, has to ponder to the following
points. Here are the considerations as what curriculum provides:
(a) The students classically have high initial skill to speak and write.
(b) The class has not quite a few students.
(c) The teacher focuses on comprehension.
(d) The suffice facility such as learning resource, media, learning tools must be
provided.
gh i
r
jject based learning
The learning steps of this model are the following:
(a) Teacher gives assignment by providing question in which the topic must be
relevant to the expected competence.
(b) Designing project plan
The plan consists of rule of the game, deciding activity, which responds the
essential question in the first step. Teacher and students conduct the plan
collaboratively.
Teacher and students design activity schedule collaboratively. They do some
activities in the step, such as making timeline to complete the project,
deciding the deadline, guiding students to create their own way to conduct the
project, asking students to explain such way.
(d) Teacher controls the students activities and progress of the project.
Teacher guides and facilitates students in each process. Teacher is able to
provide monitoring rubric to record the students activity.
(e) Examining the finding
Examining aims to give feedback to the students comprehension about the
project evaluate the students progress; measure the achievement of learning
standard, assist teacher to design the next learning strategy.
(f) Evaluating the students activity
Teacher together with students reflect toward their activities and their work
individually and collaboratively. Teacher invites students to tell their feeling
and experience during the process of completing the project. By improving
their way to complete the work and answer the question provided at the first
step, students and teacher get new inquiry to improve.
Project based learning has some requirements to the classroom practices.
(a) Students are accustomed to problem solving activities.
(b) There is learning facility to support learning process.
(c) There is monitoring of activity schedule.
kl m
r
no pq rased learning
There are some activities of problem-based learning as the following:
(a) The orientation of learning steps is focus on problem.
To start learning, teacher explains the learning goal and activities are going to
do. Teacher also informs the way to evaluate the learning process. Those are
necessary to lead students to the process.
(b) Teacher organizes the learning activity.
After orienting students to focus on particular problem, teacher groups the
students to discuss their own. The next activities are both teacher and students
decide the specific sub-topic, research activities and research schedule.
(c) Teacher assists both students individual research and students collaborative
research.
In this step, teacher urges students to collect data and carry out experiment in
order to get well comprehension on a matter. It aims to assist students to
compile the sufficient information to create their own ideas. Teacher also
helps students to collect information from various sources. Here, the teacher
motivates students by using questions in order that they think about a matter
and many resources to get the problem solving. Students invite to create
hypothesis, explanation and the solution last.
(d) Developing and communicating the work
show the work under the organization of the teacher. Teacher, parents, peers
are able to be involved to be evaluator.
(e) Analyzing and evaluating the process of problem-solving
This is the last stage of problem-based learning. Teacher assists students
analyze and evaluate their own investigating process.
4)
searning Assessment
Learning assessment is necessary to know the students progress. For
students, assessment helps them to recognize their weaknesses and strengthen in
learning process. By knowing those, students are able to decide the appropriate
way to treat well. The 2013 curriculum provides the ways to assess the attitude,
knowledge and skills of students (Minister of Education and Culture Regulation
number 59, 2014:528-541).
a) The assessment of attitude
The assessment of attitude can be carried out by observation, self-assessment,
and peer-assessment.
b) The assessment of knowledge
The assessment of knowledge is done by applying three modes, namely
handling written/spoken test; conducting observation toward discussion,
question-answer and dialogue; giving assignment.
c) The assessment of skill

||}~ In general, many writers in their field of researches have applied the term of
SA. They sometimes use the term of scientific approach in different ways, such as
scientific method, inquiry science. The different terms do not reduce the main
principle of them.
includes questioning, finding and synthesizing information, designing
investigations, monitoring scientific procedure, drawing valid conclusion.
Drawn from those definitions, those experts define SA as the activity, which
designed systematically to get the goal. There are some systematic steps, namely
observation, question, experiment, associate done to get conclusion.
There is still different perspective among the language experts in Indonesia
about the placement of SA in the sense that whether it is regarded as approach or
method. The writer with her dully perspective tries to translate the curriculum
message about what is actually SA addressed.
Negotiating meanings to others means that students interact with others, so that
the communication emerges.
Furthermore, Derewianka (2011) as quoted in Agustin (2014:40) bears a
meaning for that theory as a functional approach, which views how language
works to make us possible to do everything in daily life. Derewianka, then,
provides some things which students need to know. Those deal with what students
need to know about how to use language for attaining different purposes, sharing
ideas about their experience of the world, making connections between these
ideas, interacting with others, constructing coherent text in spoken and written
modes.
The English curriculum is linear with this theory. English language teaching
in Indonesia focuses on how language works to enable students do many things in
life by using English (Minister of Education and Culture Regulation number 59,
2014: 483). It means that students have to have particular purpose when they
share ideas to others. The sharing will be properly conveyed if the ideas delivered
by using appropriate lexico-grammatical and ability to make connection between
clauses or sentences to create coherent text that can be clearly understood
(Agustin, 2014:41). To get successfully communication, learners need to practice
and make it as habit. In this context, the language features are tied as the tool to
language practice and the learning aspects are carried on to support the practice
beyond the classroom.
They clearly express the main of constructivism conception that nowadays
emerges as the greatest influence of educational practices (Brown, 2004:11).
Teachers give warm welcome to the core idea of constructivism since it gives
priority on students learning. The conception is now recognized as social
constructivism in which the ideas of Vygotsky, Bruner, and Piaget live.
Vygotsky beliefs that social environment has important role to students
cognitive development. Social interaction can help students to know and create
meanings from the things they discover. In his theory he introduces zone of
proximal development (ZPD) as the core influential concept in pedagogical field.
ZPD is the area where the guidance should be given to the students when they
have difficulties to master a material they find until they are independently able to
learn. The teacher needs to provide suitable learning environment, which helps
students to develop the skill on their own. He also views that the effective way to
develop skill is cooperative learning. It means that connection with peers to help
each other must be built and connection among students and teacher as caregiver
must be maintained (Muijs & Reynolds, 2008: 26-27).
Thirdly, the only mode to learn the techniques to discover thing is by providing
the opportunity to discover. Fourthly, by carrying out the process of discovery, the
students recognition will get. Those are really appropriate with the cognitive
process required by science- based learning.
Piaget has less distinction with what Vytsgotsky thinks about the role of
social interaction in learning. According to Vytgotsky, the social interaction
precedes learning. Anyhow, Piaget places learning precede social interaction.
Piaget believes that involvement of mental and physical process is necessary to
understand the world. He applies the term schema, which describes both the
mental and physical actions involved in understanding and knowing the world
(Cherry, 2014:1). The schema of children will develop into the schema of adult.
The process of shift is called adaptation. He suggests that the adaptation can be
carried out through accommodation and assimilation. Through accommodation
and assimilation, the students can construct new knowledge from their experience.
In addition, to make balance between accommodation and assimilation, children
go through mechanism called equilibration. All the process needs teacher s
guidance and the active role of students in learning. That is important in learning
process.
The writer agrees with Hein (1999:4-4) who provides the guiding principles
applying those theories in learning process.
2) Learning has to provide mental activities and physical action. Physical action
is not enough to support learning, therefore the activities which engage
students mind is also necessary.
3) Learning involves language. Language is mediation in learning. Interaction
between students with their environment is mediated by language (Vygotsky
as quoted in Schunk, 2012:242). The language is expected to be the mediation
of cognitive shifting.
4) Learning is social activity. Learning is associated with the communication
with other people such as teacher, peers, family. It is not limited in classroom
but also beyond the classroom.
5) Learning is contextual. Learning is not isolated from the learning situation.
Learning cannot be separated from human s life.
6) One needs knowledge to learn. Teaching must be related to condition of
students and provide the way to learn based on the students previous
knowledge.
7) Motivation is key component of learning. Motivation is necessary in learning
to make students have positive thinking to learning task. Kyriachou (2012:52,
58) suggests two ways to enhance students motivation. The first way is
providing questions or problems to create students motivation to learn. The
second way is providing direct feedback.
showed in the curriculum document, which provides systematically steps done by
the students to get the new knowledge of how language used in the environment.

2013 curriculum has destination to create the independent learners and fully
motivation to learn (Minister of Education and Culture Regulation number 68A,
2013). In line with that destination, the learning process in lesson plan is designed
to develop the students motivation, interest, curiosity, creativity, initiative,
inspiration, autonomy, learning skill and learning habit. In this context, the
government beliefs that SA is suitable to be approach in learning process.
SA is applied to all level of study to hold learning process. This approach
also is used to all subjects include English. (Mulyasa, 2013: 172). The learning
process must touch the three competences, namely attitude, skill and knowledge.
Attitude relates to the question of why . Skill refers to the question of how . In
addition, knowledge deals with the question what . This curriculum elaborates
the steps of developing language teaching and learning activity by using SA as
following:
1)
bserving
storybook, newspaper, magazine, brochures, leaflets, banner, and poster written in
English.
In this stage, teacher has some rules, include:
a) Teacher assists students to list items to know to get comprehension and
produce the target text.
b) Providing list of items from which students can select some.
c) Teacher makes some items in the input salient.
(Priyana, 2014:292).
uestioning
Questioning is the process of constructing knowledge about social function,
language features, text structure. The goal of this stage is to develop the students
curiosity and critical thinking. It is the concept of asking about the social function
of a text and the generic structure through group or class discussion (Minister of
Education and Culture Regulation number 59, 2014: 497). The activities carried
out in this stage are:
a) Teacher provides opportunity to students to conduct question-answer.
b) Asking students to formulate questions based on the identified items in
observation.
c) Encouraging students to propose temporary answers based on their
knowledge.
(Priyana, 2014: 294).
b) Teacher provides a number of questions from which the students can start
with. (Priyana, 2014: 292).
xploring
Exploring activity is the activity to internalize knowledge and the skill
learned by the students. The learners language ability is trained through this stage
by doing some activities as role-play, simulation, presentation, discussion, and
playing game. The activities carried out in this stage are the following:
a) Students collect the fact, which is going to communicate.
b) Students explore and construct experimenting in order to get vocabularies,
structure and other language features for communicating the fact.
c) Teacher pays attention, gives feedback, or asks the peer s presentation in
order to enrich the understanding of text.
d) Students communicate the statements orally.
e) Students write each statement in the students own notebook.
(Minister of Education and Culture Regulation number 59, 2014:498)
The activities are able to be done by conducting role play, simulation,
presentation, discussion, and playing game.
4) Associating
Associating activity is the process of developing the ability to classify and
compare ideas and phenomena to be a part of memories. For English, in this step,
the students are guided to classify and compare text based on the social function,
text structure, and language feature and connect information inter-texts for
enrichment to create text. The activities can be role play, rewriting, and
communicating the fact.
The role of the teacher in this stage is to help students to see pattern to
answer question in stage two and help to draw conclusion (Priyana, 2014:292).
5)
ommunicating
Communicating aims to develop ability to express or present all the
knowledge and skill learned or not, spoken or written. In this activity, not only
knowledge and skill will be presented but also the problems and success in the
learning process. This activity describes completely students ability of attitude,
knowledge, and skill. The activity that can be conducted in communicating
process are presenting their works in front of the class, writing a report, publish
their writing wall magazine or social media.
The teacher has role to give feedback and correction, and enrich the
knowledge that students construct (Priyana, 2014:291). Feedback and correction
are the teachers respond to students construct of new knowledge.

¢ Writers have defined the term, beliefs, in different ways. Savasci-Acikalin
(2009:2) states that although educational literature has paid great attention to
beliefs, there is still no clear definition of it. As Pajares (1992:307) argued, the
difficulty in studying teachers beliefs has been caused by definitional problems,
poor conceptualizations, and differing understandings of beliefs and belief
structures . A recent study (Mansour, 2009:35) indicates that because teachers
beliefs tend to be more experience-based than theory-based, beliefs can neither
be clearly defined, nor do they have a single correct clarification . Thus, different
writers give different definitions for belief. However, to make it clear, the single
definition is necessary.
Kavanoz (2006:3) state that belief is representation of the information someone
holds about an object, or a persons understanding of himself and his
environment. Standen (2002) as quoted in Bingimlas & Hanrahan (2010: 416)
defines beliefs as personal assumptions about relationships, knowledge, society;
professional beliefs about teaching and learning; beliefs about change and
development. Furthermore, Tatto and Coupland (2003: 123) say that belief is
conviction of the truth that the most of the conviction is relied on examination of
evidence by individuals or by social group for their validation.
Anyhow, Pajares (1992: 324-326) summarizes the findings of research on
beliefs as follows:
1) Beliefs are formed early and none to be self-perpetuated, none to be persistent
against the contradiction caused by time, experience, reason and schooling.
2) Epistemological beliefs play a key role in knowledge interpretation and
cognitive monitoring.
3) Belief substructures, such as educational beliefs, have tobe understood in terms
of their connections not only to each other but also to other, perhaps more
central, and beliefs in the system.
4) By their nature and origin, some beliefs are more incontrovertible than others.
5) The earlier belief incorporates into the belief structure; the more difficult it is to
change.
8) Beliefs cannot directly observe or measure but it must infer from what people
say, intended, and do.
9) Beliefs about teaching well establishes by the time a student at college.

¤omponent of

Rokeach (1972) as quoted in Savasci-Acikalin (2009:3) states that belief has
three components. The components are cognitive, affective and behavioral. A
cognitive component addresses to person s knowledge about what is true or false,
desirable or undesirable. Affective component talks about a positive or negative in
an argument. Behavioral component leads to action when it is active. He makes
the same between the structure of belief and atom in the way of belief is
organized. According to this theory, some beliefs compose the core of the system
and the central beliefs are more necessary and resistant to change. Attitude, values
as the part of belief can also relate to central strand of the web. The strength of the
web is probably understood by their functional connections to other beliefs and
structures. This connectedness lets one to take action.
component works to know whether the new outcome can affect the other
groups/individuals or not. To determine whether the outcome effectively works or
not, the normative component then works. The normative component provides
confidence that the new outcome will be the winner in the difference environment
of imputed morality and legitimacy. The explanatory component is going to
describe how the proposed activity can create the expected outcomes. The
opposing argument needs this explanatory component to respond (Chan, Leung,
1999:8).
Roseman s idea of the organization of belief seems to be richer than
Rokeach. Roseman can describe how to provide fuller organization of beliefs
components. He also is able to show the clear relation of those components from
the specific belief to specific behavior.
[image:46.595.138.496.597.717.2]The idea about the belief component or structure develops so far. Chan and
Leung (1999: 9) propose five components of belief, namely cognitive, affective,
evaluative, identification, and conative. Furthermore, they synthesize the
components beliefs theory of Rokeach (1968), Roseman (1994) and Pajares
(1992) to create the belief structure. He proposes a hypothetical belief structure as
the following (1999:10)
Figure 2.2 The five components structure of belief
Cognitive
Evaluative
Identification
Affective
The cognitive component addresses to the component, which processes the
knowledge element of belief. Here is the Piaget s concept of schemata is taken.
One is able to assimilate or accommodate new information unless the information
is compatible with the existing belief. The effective component works when one
cannot accept and accommodate the new information. This process undergoes
since there is no congruence between the new information and the existing belief.
Therefore, emotional condition gives significant impact to one s perception of
new information. The strength of emotional condition will meet with experience
embedded in existing belief. Stronger feeling is usually possessed by experience
related to self . Identification component works to recognize which people or
object which is affected. If the self is involved, it will connect the new
information with existing belief belongs to a person. The new information, which
is incompatible with the previous belief, is going to modify in order to
accommodate the new belief of information. In this case, emotion influences the
way one figures out the contradictory information.
Drawn from the views about component of belief, the writer tends to apply
the belief component proposed by Chang and Leung in this research. They
provide wider description about the beliefs components and the way components
work. There is clearly description about the connection among the components. In
specific situation, one s belief is most likely to change. Their theory about how
the components work is fuller than previous theories.
Based on the nature and the component of belief, writer defines belief as
personal judgment/conviction of the truth inferred from collective understanding
of what are said, intended, done about particular object. The particular object in
this research deals with scientific approach (SA) which is recommended by 2013

The current studies about teachers beliefs have also brought the report of
teachers practices (Kuzborska, 2011; Incecay, 2011; Khader, 2012; Saad and
BouJoude, 2012). Richardson (1996) as quoted in Keys and Bryan (2011:635)
says that teachers practices are the reflection of their beliefs. Teachers bring their
views, which interfere with their classroom practices.
in Cheong Min Yook (2010:5-6) says that teaching experience and teacher
education are other factors which have impact on teachers beliefs and have
powerful image on what teaching should be like. Orafi (2008) in his research
about language teaching in Libya has found some contextual factors dealing with
how teachers implement the curriculum in this country. Those are the lack of
understanding about the curriculum expectation, the mismatch between the focus
of exam and the aims of curriculum, the absence of proper training, the ineffective
role of inspector (p.224).
Those researches provide the different factors, which contribute to teachers
practices. Regardless to the differences, the researches show that those factors
have important involvement in affecting teachers classroom practices.

Teachers' beliefs have become an important issue in research on teaching.
Van Canh and Barnard (2009:247) state that teachers beliefs and instructional
practices have increasingly attracted educational writers attention. Orafi (2008:
43) shows description that interest in teachers' thinking expanded throughout the
1980s and the 1990s on the assumption that it is very crucial to understand how
teachers conceptualize their teaching. In ELT, research on teachers' beliefs
emerged in the mid-1990s. The research has focused on the importance of
teachers beliefs in language teaching. Freeman and Richards (1996: 1) argued for
the need to consider teachers' views about teaching in order to understand
language teaching:
how they learn. Specifically, we need to understand more about how
language teachers conceive of what they do: what they know about language
teaching, and how they think about their classroom practice.
Teachers beliefs are thought to have influence on the classroom practices
(Kuzborska, 2011: 1). Language teachers beliefs as well as the comprehension of
teaching have important role in teaching practices. Bingimlas & Hanrahan (2010:
416) indicate that a teacher belief is one of the factors that influence the
implementation and establishment of new activities in the classroom. It is
supported by Briscoe (1991) as quoted in Orafi, 2008: 43 who conducted a case
study to investigate a chemistry teacher's attempts to implement more
student-centered practices focusing on problem-solving relevant to the use of chemistry in
daily life. Briscoe concluded that teacher's perception of his role as a "knowledge
giver" disturbed his attempts to incorporate cooperative learning into his
classroom. Similarly, Smith (1996) conducted research on the influence of
teachers' beliefs on the pedagogical decisions. The result of the study proved that
teachers beliefs had significant impact on how the teacher design and organize
curricula, lesson tasks and instruction. Smith (1996: 214) concludes, "Teachers'
decisions revealed an eclectic use of theory but an internal consistency between
individual beliefs and practices". According to Yero (2002), beliefs give influence
on how teachers and pre-service teachers behave. Here is her statement about
teachers beliefs and practice:
Beliefs have important role in language teaching. According to K. Johnson
(1994), there are three basic assumptions on teachers beliefs: First, teachers
beliefs have impact to both perception and judgment that affects what teachers say
and do in the classroom. Second, teachers beliefs have important critical role in
how teachers learn to teach, and how they translate the beliefs into classroom
practices. Third, triggering teaching practices and professional teacher preparation
programs are able to gain by understanding teachers beliefs (p. 439). Richards,
Gallo, and Renandya (2001: 41) also summarize the roles of teachers beliefs.
They cover the following roles: (a) Teachers beliefs play a central role in the
process of teacher development; (b) Changes in teachers practices are the result
of changes in teachers beliefs; and (c) The notion of teacher change is
multidimensional and is triggered both by personal factors as well as by the
professional contexts in which teachers work.
convictions about language and the teaching and learning of it. The beliefs reflect
in their learning approaches, selection of materials, activities, judgments, and
behaviors in the classroom. Smith (1996) says that teachers' beliefs have
significant impact on how the teacher design and organize curricula, lesson tasks
and instruction.
Drawn from the researches, teachers beliefs give crucial impact on
teachers practices in many ways. They show that teachers beliefs are able to
influence the nature of teachers practices in classroom.

Hart and Lee (2003) conducted a research that has goal to enable teachers to
promote science and literacy achievement for culturally and linguistically diverse
elementary students. This paper has two objectives: (a) to examine teachers
initial beliefs and practices about teaching English language and literacy in
science and (b) to examine the impact of the intervention on teachers beliefs and
practices. The participants of the research are 53 third- and fourth-grade teachers
at six elementary schools in a large school district with a highly diverse student.
The results of this research are:
a. At the end of the year, teachers expressed more elaborate and coherent
conceptions of literacy in science instruction.
c. Teachers require continuing support in the form of professional development
activities in order to implement and maintain reform-oriented practices that
promote the science and literacy achievement of culturally and linguistically
diverse students.

Yook conducted this study that expanded ESL/EFL teachers beliefs by
investigating the relationship among Korean teachers beliefs about English
language education in Korea, sources of their beliefs, their perceptions of the
Ministry of Education, Science, and Technology (MOE)-initiated reforms in
English language education, and the degree of implementation of the reforms in
their classroom teaching.
The findings of the study are:
a. The major participants had beliefs to apply communication-oriented
approaches (COA) to English language teaching recommended by the MOE.
b. Major sources of the participants beliefs seemed to be their experiences as
learners in overseas English programs and domestic in-service teacher
education programs with practical curricula.
d. Their negative perceptions of reform policies were the main obstacles to the
implementation of the reform policies and measures in their classroom
teaching.

implementation of a language of instruction policy in Malaysia, which made
English the medium for mathematics and science instruction. The study explored
the math and science teachers beliefs about the use of English as the medium for
learning and about how these beliefs influence their classroom practices. The
result of the study indicates:
a. Teachers beliefs about their respective roles as only content teachers or only
language teachers limit students language learning opportunities.
b. Factors such as curricular requirements, exam pressure and time constraints
also shape classroom interactions, and have implications for student learning
as well.
c. The findings reveal the lack of collaboration between content and language
teachers, and the need for sustained professional development concerning
content and language integration for both groups of teachers.

randomly matched classrooms without the technology program. It also examined
the ways in which pedagogical beliefs and practices evolved from participation, if
at all. Results indicate a change in the pedagogical stance of the educators
involved and a small positive impact on student achievement.
