- Determining the key points in a text
- Breaking down complex problems into small steps
- Identifying cause and effect

your students, encourage questions like: “What do you think about this?”;
“Why do you think that?”; “What is your knowledge based upon?”; “What does
it imply or presuppose?”; “What explains it, connects to it, leads from it?”;
“How are you viewing the information?”; “Should the information be viewed
differently?”. Further, for reflection learning, teachers can give self-reflection
activities to their students. For instance, recording a self-reflection video and
writing daily self-reflection via online application (e.g., Nearpod, Kahoot, etc.)

teaching and learning. They emphasized that teachers’ beliefs have a great
 impact on their aims, procedures, their roles, and their learners. Moreover,
Richards and Rodgers (2001) asserted that teachers have beliefs about
language learning and it helped them to get a special approach to language
teaching.

- Summative assessment: Assessment of learner’s achievement at the end of a

term, stage, course or program usually, although not necessarily, involving
formal testing or examinations. Summative assessment is most commonly
used for ranking, grading and/or promoting students, and for certification
purposes.
What are some examples of typical assignments for - Read or watch, then respond: This type of assignment closely mirrors the
the student? face-to-face lecture. Instructors provide video lectures, articles or book
chapters and assign students a set of questions. Students can read or watch
the material at their own pace, so long as they meet the deadline for their
responses.
- Research papers: Formal research papers remain a popular assignment in
online classes. Writing about research is a required skill for many graduate
degrees, and publishing original research is a measure of expertise in many
disciplines.
- Exams: The often-dreaded tests and quizzes are also common in online
courses. But the rules and testing environments can differ depending on the
institution. Some will use proctoring services that monitor students through
webcams and identity verification questions.
As a teacher, how to reduce cheating on online - Create questions that require higher order thinking. Instead of having
examinations? students respond to questions that can be answered by a simple web search or
even by finding the answers in their textbooks, create questions that are on
the analysis, synthesis, and evaluation levels (Bloom, 1956).
- Use varied question types. Refrain from having an exam with all multiple
choice or true and false questions and include open-ended questions.
- Set-up the exam to show one question at a time. To avoid students quickly
looking over all of the test questions and having multiple tabs open to
research answers to questions, or even having family and friends responsible
for a certain set of questions, choose the test setting that only allows one
question to appear on the screen at a time.

What should be considered to engage teachers' In order to engage teachers' professional skills in OTPD, we should consider
9 Ikrama Prasetya / professional skills in OTPD? these things. OTPD should focus on particularly content. It helps teacher to be
S892008007 more focus on the training. Then, OTPD should be an active learning to
optimize the role of teachers as the main part of the training. Moreover, it
better to consider that the OTPD should provide spaces for collaboration to
the others. OTPD also should provide model effective practice to make the
training more contextual. Thus, it is a must that OTPD has to provide coaching
or support from the experts. Reflection and feedback are also necessary to
engage teachers' participation. And, it should has sustained duration.
What is the most effective platform to use for Actually, the most effective platform is depends on the needs. However, there
supporting the online class? are so many platform that have adequate features. Let's say google meet and
zoom. They are commonly use in many online classes because of the features
and the convenience. Furthermore, when we want to get more, those platform

handle it? To maximize student learning, teachers must have expertise in a wide-ranging
array of competencies in an especially complex environment where hundreds
of critical decisions are required each day (Jackson, 1990).
So does about the teachers' competency to conduct online class. It is important
because the most powerful influence on student success is teachers. If
teachers are not prepared well, it will cause to students' achievement.
The solution is maximizing teachers' competency in the critical aspects to
encourage student's achievement.
How to minimize the obstacles of OTPD you have Considering ability to engage and understanding of technology are quite

not only need to understand the latest in technology, but you must also know
which digital tools are right to use. Moreover, keeping up-to-date on new
learning technologies and apps, and browsing the web and connecting to
fellow teachers.
How can OTPD support online schooling? Different teachers have different needs, depending on such factors as the
schools in which they teach, the students in their classes, their previous
experiences, and their individual preferences and learning styles. One great
benefit of OTPD is that it can also connect schools to schools, schools to
districts, districts to other districts, and states to states. It can seek out the
commonalities among schools serving different groups of students, with
benefits to all partners. In addition, it can tap into expertise no matter where it
is located, so that teachers with a specialty or an expertise can serve as
resources for teachers elsewhere.
What happen to those low quality teachers in Today, we live and function in a digital era where students are constantly
handling an online class without leadership exposed to the latest trends in technology and media. When teaching these

new ways to improve their teaching quality. This not only helps them to be
more effective in the classroom but will help their students learn and retain
the information in a better way. Here is my suggestion, start to use technology
in the classroom. The teacher must be innovative and explore using
technologies that appeal to the students. This does not necessarily mean large
investments in screens and apps. Instead, teachers can use videos, digital
games, free online resources and digital tools that can be easily implemented
 in their classroom. Young students are more adept with technological skills, so
by integrating technology into the classroom, you will instantly help your
students learn better and faster.

achieving offline learning. This is because there are still many students who do
not fully participate in learning, there are still many students who are
negligent and do not focus on learning. So, there needs to be a future
development for online learning to make it more effective.

What is the critical element for designing a Here are three critical elements for designing a compelling OTPD:
13 Yuto Wahyuto / S892008020 compelling OTPD? 1. Compelling Materials which developed through need analysis
2. Professional tutors_ make sure that the tutors are not only expert in the
 field of TPD but also have good communication skill to make meaningful and
compelling learning.

3. Practical support systems (e.g., Books, CD, website, Apps) developed to

enhance TPD. Those support system should be designed based on a solid
theoretical background as well as proven evidence-base practice.

How effective OTPD compared to the offline one?

The effective parameters of both online and face-to-face TPD can be seen in
the following:

1. Incorporates active learning: Active learning engages teachers directly

in designing and trying out teaching strategies, providing them an
opportunity to engage in the same style of learning they are designing
for their students.
2. Supports collaboration: High-quality PD creates space for teachers to
share ideas and collaborate in their learning, often in job-embedded
contexts. By working collaboratively, teachers can create communities
that positively change the culture and instruction of their entire grade
level, department, school and/or district.
3. Uses models of effective practice: Curricular models and modeling of
instruction provide teachers with a clear vision of what best practices
look like. Teachers may view models that include lesson plans, unit
plans, sample student work, observations of peer teachers, and video
or written cases of teaching.
4. Provides coaching and expert support: Coaching and expert support
involve the sharing of expertise about content and evidence-based
practices, focused directly on teachers’ individual needs.
5. Offers feedback and reflection: High-quality professional learning
frequently provides built-in time for teachers to think about, receive
input on, and make changes to their practice by facilitating reflection
and soliciting feedback. Feedback and reflection can help teachers to
thoughtfully move toward the expert visions of practice.
