Abstract

This study evaluated MySpada Learning Management System's effectiveness in supporting autonomous learning among English Education students at Universitas Muhammadiyah Surakarta. Using a mixed-methods approach, data were collected from 39 students through document analysis, semi-structured interviews (n=4), and questionnaires (n=35). Results showed that 71.4% of students recognized MySpada's features as supportive, yet only 37.1% agreed it enhanced learning discipline and 48.6% felt motivated. Students primarily accessed learning materials (53.6%) but rarely used discussion forums (10.7%). Technical challenges including server instability, slow performance, and mobile accessibility issues significantly hindered effectiveness. The gap between feature recognition and behavioral impact suggests MySpada functions as a content repository rather than an active facilitator of self-regulated learning. To optimize MySpada’s role, the university should prioritize strengthening server stability and mobile optimization to ensure reliable access during high-traffic periods. The study further recommends integrating progress-tracking dashboards and goal-setting tools to transform the platform from a passive content repository into an active facilitator of self-regulation. Finally, establishing consistent faculty usage through pedagogical training and institutional policy is essential to sustain student engagement and maximize the platform’s effectiveness in fostering autonomy

Abstract

This study aims to examine the implementation of the Baamboozle website as a game-based learning medium for teaching English vocabulary to kindergarten students, to explore the teacher’s perception of its use, and to analyze students’ responses toward Baamboozle-based learning. In early childhood education, English vocabulary instruction requires interactive and engaging approaches that align with young learners’ cognitive characteristics and learning preferences, making the integration of digital game-based tools increasingly relevant in Teaching English to Young Learners (TEYL). This research employed a descriptive qualitative approach with a case study design conducted at TK ‘Aisiyah Singopuran, involving one English teacher and eleven senior-class kindergarten students. Data were collected through classroom observations to investigate the learning implementation and students’ responses, as well as semi-structured interviews to capture the teacher’s perception of using Baamboozle. The findings reveal that Baamboozle was implemented effectively through structured stages, including student grouping, explanation of game rules, and vocabulary learning activities, which created an interactive and enjoyable learning atmosphere. The use of Baamboozle increased students’ engagement, motivation, and vocabulary retention, while encouraging collaboration among learners. The teacher perceived Baamboozle as an effective and accessible learning medium that supports both classroom and home-based learning, although limited free game features were identified as a minor challenge. Overall, students responded positively to Baamboozle-based learning, demonstrating high enthusiasm and active participation. The study concludes that Baamboozle is a suitable and effective digital tool for supporting English vocabulary learning in kindergarten contexts.
