Conducted as a pre-experimental quantitative study at SMP Negeri 4 Muara Bungo, the research involved 30 eighth-grade students from class VIII 6, selected through cluster random sampling. Data gathering involved a preliminary test, an intervention phase, and a final assessment.. The results revealed a significant improvement in speaking performance, with mean scores increasing from 55. 00 in the initial assessment to 67. 83 in the final assessment.The t-test value of 7.409 exceeded the critical t-value of 2.034 at the significance level, confirming the intervention's effectiveness.

Abstract

This research tittle is Students' Perceptions of Using Ice Breaking in English Learning at At Sd Alam Muara Bungo. English learning in elementary schools often faces challenges in maintaining student concentration and motivation. One strategy used is icebreaking, an activity to break the ice, increase engagement, and create a pleasant learning atmosphere. This study aims to describe the perceptions of fourth-grade students at Muara Bungo Natural Elementary School regarding the use of icebreaking in English learning. The research method used is descriptive qualitative with fourth-grade students as subjects. Data were obtained through semi-structured interviews, with interview protocol based on Bandura's social learning theory. Data analysis was conducted thematically using NVivo 12. The results showed that most students had positive perceptions, considering icebreaking to be calming, increase enthusiasm, focus, and self-confidence. However, a small number of students expressed negative perceptions, such as boredom due to the lack of variety and discomfort in participating. These findings emphasize the importance of icebreaking variations tailored to students' needs for optimal benefits.

Abstract

This study examines the ethical paradox of teacher gift-giving in relation to professionalism, reciprocity, and educational equity through an embedded qualitative case study conducted in four private schools in Muara Bungo, Indonesia. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews, non-participant observations, and document analysis involving 16 participants, consisting of four principals, six teachers, and six parents. Data were analyzed using Miles and Huberman’s interactive model. The findings indicate that gift-giving was primarily understood as a form of social appreciation and cultural reciprocity; however, the practice also created ambiguity regarding professional boundaries, perceptions of risks to equity, and policy uncertainty. Five themes were identified: the social meaning of gift-giving, ethical dilemmas concerning teacher professionalism, perceptions of equity risks and potential bias, variations in practices and policy ambiguity, and ethical boundaries of gift-giving. Based on these findings, the study develops a relational-ethical boundary typology comprising symbolic collective appreciation, reciprocal collective appreciation, personal relational gifts, and high-value personal gifts. Although no direct evidence was found that gift-giving altered teachers’ decisions or treatment of students, the practice nonetheless presents risks of perceived inequity and blurred professional boundaries when not supported by clear institutional guidelines.
