Investigating the washback effect of the national examination on Indonesian practices: Perceptions of teachers, students and parents of test impact

Washback is a phenomenon found internationally in high stakes examinations. This study set in Indonesia sought to explore the washback influence of the national examination system on the attitudes, behaviours and motivations of teachers, learners and parents (Pearson, 1998). Previous studies on national examination in Indonesia had explored the concept without paying sufficient attention to the context and culture within which washback takes place; a culture where examination corruption remains professionally unacknowledged but all too often remains part of practice. Using an interpretivist paradigm this study explored the perceptions of the experiences of teachers, learners and parents involved in the national examination system and identified its washback effect. In particular it explored ways in which the national examination affected teaching and learning practices in final year classrooms that in Indonesia are dominated by the national examination cycle. Finally, the study investigated how students‘ experiences in the national examination year might be improved. The evidence emerging from the thematic analysis of interviews with eight English teachers, ten parents and focus group discussions with 29 final year students attending junior secondary schools identified three main washback themes. The national examination had influenced participants‘ feelings, their perceptions and their practices. All participating groups had participants who reported a wide range of feelings about their experiences of national examination, from neutral feelings to high levels of anxiety. The analysis also indicated that participants in each group had recognised both the positive and negative washback effects of national examination. The use of the examination for selection purposes was perceived to motivate students to learn. However, the findings also suggested that the national examination was considered by members of each group to assess students in ways that were regarded as unfair. All three groups showed how the examination influenced their role and practices as teachers, students and parents. However, although members of both parental and pupil communities made reference to a number of corrupt practices, no teacher acknowledged such practice focusing only on the more conventional washback effects of curriculum narrowing and rehearsal pedagogy. The evidence from this study was used to extend a model of the relationship between learning and assessment theory proposed by Baird, et.al. (2017). Only when there is an adequate consideration of the culture within which these theories emerge can there be potential for these theories to have traction in offering a lens through which to interrogate practice. Finding ways to engage with features of Indonesian school culture including anxiety, religion, family expectations, corruption, gender inequality and collectivism is a central part of understanding the nature of national examination washback. Without a deeper understanding and acceptance of the problem, Indonesia, and other countries in similar circumstances, is likely to remain in a cycle of constant innovation with little meaningful, constructive change in the assessment process

ANALYSIS OF STRATEGY TO FULFILL THE NEED OF THE POPULATION OF JEMBER REGENCY FOR UNIVERSAL HEALTH COVERAGE IN REDUCING STUNTING, MATERNAL DAN INFANT MORTALITY RATES

This policy paper aims to analyze strategies for fulfillment the needs of the population of Jember Regency for Universal Health Coverage in reducing stunting, maternal and infant mortality. This is motivated by the results of the 2022 Indonesian Nutrition Status Survey which stated that Jember Regency was ranked highest in the prevalence of stunting under five in East Java Province and the East Java Provincial Health Service stated that Jember Regency's maternal and infant mortality rate was the highest in East Java Province. Meanwhile, the sustainable development goals (SDGs) in 2030 target reducing the maternal mortality rate to less than 70 per 100,000 live births, reducing the infant mortality rate (IMR) to 12 per 1,000 live births, reducing stunting by 14% by 2024. On the other hand , the population of Jember Regency who are JKN-KIS participants has only reached 66% of the total population, while Law Number 40 of 2004 concerning the National Social Security System (SJSN) and Presidential Instruction (Inpres) Number 1 of 2022 concerning Optimizing the Implementation of the Health Insurance Program National mandates that the entire population be protected by Universal Health Coverage of at least 98% by 2024. The analysis technique used in this policy paper is SWOT analysis. The strength of the internal factors is that the Jember Regency Government pays special attention to handling high stunting, maternal and infant mortality rates, including free services, continuous monitoring and evaluation, providing a budget, and making reducing stunting and maternal and infant mortality a priority for development in the health sector. and also the existence of Presidential Instruction Number 1 of 2022. The weaknesses are internal factors, namely the Universal Health Coverage budget allocation for the population of Jember Regency which is not enough, the Universal Health Coverage budget is also not yet a priority in the APBD budget allocation, the J-Pasti Kuereen program which can trigger participants Independent JKN-KIS does not pay its contributions, and there is a lack of interest among residents in becoming independent JKN-KIS participants. Meanwhile, the threat from external factors is that the JKN-KIS membership achievement of the Jember Regency population in June 2023 is still 66% of the target in 2024 of 98%, the public's demand for the quality of health services is increasing, the Maternal and Infant Mortality and Stunting rates in Jember Regency are the highest in all time. East Java Province. And the opportunity for external factors is the high attention of the Jember Regency Government to handling high levels of stunting, maternal and infant mortality, providing budget allocations in order to handle reducing stunting, maternal and infant mortality as well as the government's encouragement to realize Universal Health Coverage in Jember Regency. So that the proposed alternative strategy can be formulated, namely making Universal Health Coverage a priority in Jember Regency APBD budgeting in order to reduce stunting, maternal and infant mortality rates so that health services can be implemented preventively, promotively, curatively and rehabilitatively in order to create a health program that is covered by the JKN budget. -KIS so that it can be carried out in a comprehensive and integrated manner. There is APBD support in the budget allocation to support Universal Health Coverage for the residents of Jember Regency and a shift in the free health services budget to the Universal Health Coverage budget

English High-stakes Testing in Indonesia: Friend or Foe?

The Education Ministry has eliminated standardised high-stakes testing called Ujian Nasional (UN) since 2021 throughout schools all around Indonesia. However, it might be practical to look backwards at the UN and its implementation with the impact it gives on the teachers. This article has a concern about the washback consequences of a high-stakes exam on teachers. The effects were investigated within the specific context of the 2016 UN for students in Indonesia at the junior secondary level. A semi-structured interview with eight English teachers was set up to explore the teachers' perceptions towards the UN. Regarding feelings, all participants shared divergent feelings ranging from disinterested to excessive levels of fear or anxiety and mixed feelings. The data also showed mixed opinions, both positive and negative, regarding the examination. The students were thought to be motivated to study because the examination was used for selection purposes. The results did, however, also imply that the students' performance on the national exam was thought to have been assessed unfairly. The instructors demonstrated how the exam affected their teaching roles and methods. Making the national exam a low-stakes test was one of the suggestions made by attendees to enhance it

Unveiling Teachers’ Perception: Cultural Influences on Educators' Decision-Making in High-Stakes Exams

This study analyses the diverse motives of educators entering the teaching profession and their impact on pedagogical decisions during high-stakes exams. Semi-structured interviews with eight participants (six male and two female teachers) from secondary schools in Kabupaten Bandung, Jawa Barat, Indonesia, lasted up to forty minutes.
