Classroom Relationship Profiles: Links with English-as-a-Foreign-Language Students’ Academic and Social Goals and Self-Regulated Learning Strategy Use
Qingyao Dan, Barry Bai, Xuan Zang
Using a person-centered approach, this study identified four classroom relationship profiles among EFL primary school students: Supportive, Teacher-oriented, Moderate, and Isolated. Students in the Supportive and Teacher-oriented profiles demonstrated higher English proficiency and more frequent use of achievement goals and self-regulated learning strategies compared to those in Moderate and Isolated profiles.
Original abstract
Classroom relationships represent a complex and dynamic system, in which students’ relationships with teachers and peers are intertwined with each other. A person-centered approach was used to investigate how multiple characteristics of a good-quality relationship (i.e., validation, caring, and instrumental guidance) with teachers and peers combined to form English-as-a-foreign-language primary school students’ classroom relationships profiles. Four distinct profiles of classroom relationships were identified: Supportive, Teacher-oriented, Moderate, and Isolated. Whether students’ gender and English proficiency level significntly predicted their likelihood of belonging to each profile was tested. The profiles were analyzed to see if there was a link to academic and social achievement goals and self-regulated learning in English language learning. The results indicated that the students in the Supportive and Teacher-oriented profiles were more likely to have a higher English proficiency who adopted achievement goals and used self-regulated learning strategies more frequently than those in the Moderate and Isolated profiles in English learning.

Provides guidance for higher education institutions implementing e-portfolio assessment.
Original abstract
The main aim of this paper is to have an innovative model for helping students to design an e-portfolio assessment subject. This study developed an e-portfolio measurement instrument model, at the individual level of analysis, using responses from 40 e-portfolio student users from the fourth-semester students of Muhammadiyah University, were purposively selected to assess the success of their e-portfolio implementations from their students' perspective. Academic institutions can use the results of this research to assess the success of their e-portfolio implementations from their students' perspective. It employs the research and development method to collect data, which were used to achieve strengthen confidence in the learning outcomes. Innovative learning is an approach or learning method that uses new, creative ways, prioritizing skills visible in student learning outcomes. Language Assessment and Evaluation courses play an important role in various activities. In terms of the use of e-portfolio for teaching objectives to be achieved, lecturers are required to use interesting methods of e-portfolio implementation teaching assessment and evaluation skills because the results can be used to improve learning outcomes. The findings show that the students' common perceptions of obstacles were inadequate Internet access and trouble adjusting to the e-portfolio. The implementation of the e-portfolio is new, so it is vital to get the opinions of those who use it daily. The paper outlines the advantages and drawbacks of utilizing the e-portfolio as a tool for academic assessment. This will direct scholars and practitioners in the proper implementation of the e-portfolio in higher education establishments.
