Pelatihan Strategi Menjawab Cepat TOEFL ITP bagi Guru SMK Swasta di Kota Makassar
Program Pengabdian kepada Masyarakat (PkM) ini bertujuan untuk meningkatkan kompetensi bahasa Inggris guru SMK swasta di Kota Makassar melalui penguasaan strategi menjawab cepat TOEFL ITP. Program ini diikuti oleh 47 peserta yang dibagi menjadi dua kelas pelatihan. Metode intervensi dilakukan melalui bimbingan intensif serta evaluasi berkala yang terdiri atas pre-test, progress test, dan post-test. Hasil evaluasi paruh awal program menunjukkan dampak positif yang signifikan dengan peningkatan rerata skor sebesar +30,6 poin. Namun, efektivitas intervensi mengalami penurunan drastis pada evaluasi akhir, di mana kelompok peserta yang dianggap lebih superior mengalami defisit skor akumulatif sebesar -50,06 poin, sementara kelas yang memiliki persepsi inferior justru mencatatkan peningkatan sebesar +21 poin. Penurunan performa kolektif pada akhir program dipengaruhi oleh akumulasi kelelahan peserta, penurunan partisipasi tugas, serta bias pengukuran karena menggunakan moda ujian yang berbeda pada ketiga tahap tes. Secara keseluruhan, efisiensi pelatihan TOEFL bagi guru sangat bergantung pada ketersediaan waktu yang memungkinkan konsentrasi dan konsistensi instrumen evaluasi.
