Daftar Isi:
- This study was carried out to delve into the pedagogical beliefs of the English teachers at SMAN 5 Banda Aceh and to describe the common classroom practice in their teaching English and to know the aspects influences the teachers practice the way they did. This research was conducted by employing a descriptive qualitative research design. The participants of this study were 4 English teachers (one male and three females) at SMAN 5 Banda Aceh. The data collected by using pre-classroom observation, classroom observation, and reflective interview. The results showed that all the teachers hold constructivist learner-centered beliefs, which involve learners as the center of teaching and learning process. However, their practices did not fully reflect their beliefs as their practices were mostly teacher-centered, in which teachers dominate the teaching and learning process. In conclusions, the classroom practices still reflect the commonly social and cultural practices in Aceh in which teachers are highly respected to transmit and unchallenged.
