Abstract

The emergence of social, technological, and other aspects of life leads to increasing complexity in EFL instruction, requiring teachers to modify their instructions and accommodate students' learning needs through differentiated instruction (DI). DI requires that teachers diversify their instruction to optimize it. However, many teachers regard DI as challenging, requiring advanced teaching skills and creative thinking. Thus, this qualitative study aimed to investigate how teachers express their creativity in DI education and which areas of creativity need to be addressed. The data was collected by observing teaching performances and interviews with six Indonesian EFL secondary school instructors. The DI-Quest instrument was used for observation, and the English Language Teaching Creativity Scale (ELT-CS) was used to build the interview guide. The findings revealed diverse types of creativity in five dimensions: motivation, originality and elaboration, brainstorming, fluency and flexibility, and press and materials. However, teachers experienced difficulties articulating the creative aspect of autonomy in DI classrooms. Some pedagogical implications are addressed, particularly in teacher professional development programs.

探索中学教师在印尼英语语言(EFL)课堂上进行分层教学(DI)实践的创造性
社会、科技和生活等各方面的发展导致英语教学越来越复杂,这就要求教师通过分层教学(Differentiated instruction,DI)来修改教学内容,满足学生的学习需求。DI 要求教师多样化教学,以优化教学。然而,许多教师认为分层教学具有挑战性,需要高超的教学技能和创造性思维。因此,本定性研究旨在调查教师如何在 DI 教育中表达他们的创造力,以及哪些方面的创造力需要解决。研究通过观察教学表演和采访六位印度尼西亚 EFL 中学教师收集数据。观察使用了 DI-Quest 工具,访谈指南则使用了英语语言教学创造力量表(ELT-CS)。研究结果显示,教师在五个维度上具有不同类型的创造力:动机、独创性和阐述、头脑风暴、流畅性和灵活性以及新闻和材料。然而,教师在表达 DI 课堂中自主性的创造性方面遇到了困难。研究还探讨了一些教学意义,特别是在教师专业发展计划中的意义。
