Abstract

This study investigated the effectiveness of blended learning in improving essay writing skills among English Education Study Program students at Santo Agustinus Hippo Catholic University in West Kalimantan, Indonesia. Using an sequential experimental mixed-methods design, the study collected data from 26 third-semester students through pre-test, post-test, and semi-structured interviews. The blended learning approach applied a 30:70 ratio of face-to-face and online learning. Quantitative analysis demonstrated a substantial enhancement in students' essay writing proficiency (t = 14.392, p < 0.001), exhibiting considerable to substantial effect sizes in the introductory paragraph (Cohen's d = 1.83), concluding paragraph (d = 1.06), and paragraph unity and coherence (d = 2.53). Qualitative findings revealed that high-ability students thrived with flexibility and collaborative opportunities, while medium-ability students needed more structured guidance, and low-ability students experienced difficulties with self-regulation and technical barriers. This study suggests that blended learning can be an effective method for improving essay writing skills, even in resource-constrained environments, but requires differentiated support based on student ability levels.

Abstract

ABSTRACT This research investigates the influence of Dayak cultural values, specifically those inherent in the Ramin Batangk concept, on the English language achievements of students at Institut Shanti Bhuana in Bengkayang. The Ramin Batangk, a traditional Dayak longhouse, embodies a rich cultural heritage characterized by communal values such as cooperation, discipline, respect for nature, and spirituality. These values are integrated into the students' dormitory life, which reflects both traditional Dayak culture and modern boarding school practices. Employing a correlational research design, the study examines the relationship between students' perceptions of these cultural values and their English language performance. The findings indicate a positive correlation between the cultural values practiced within the dormitories and students' academic success in English. Specifically, values such as cooperation, discipline, and perseverance significantly contribute to enhancing students' English achievement. These results underscore the importance of a culturally enriched learning environment in fostering both academic success and the preservation of cultural identity. The study recommends that educational strategies at Institut Shanti Bhuana continue to emphasize the integration of Dayak cultural values to further promote academic excellence and personal development among students. ABSTRAK Penelitian ini mengkaji pengaruh nilai-nilai budaya Dayak, khususnya yang terkandung dalam konsep Ramin Batangk, terhadap pencapaian prestasi bahasa Inggris mahasiswa di Institut Shanti Bhuana Bengkayang. Ramin Batangk, sebuah rumah panjang tradisional Dayak, memuat warisan budaya yang kaya, ditandai dengan nilai-nilai kebersamaan seperti kerja sama, disiplin, penghormatan terhadap alam, dan spiritualitas. Nilai-nilai ini diintegrasikan dalam kehidupan asrama mahasiswa, yang mencerminkan perpaduan antara budaya Dayak tradisional dan praktik pendidikan asrama modern. Dengan menggunakan desain penelitian korelasional, studi ini meneliti hubungan antara persepsi mahasiswa terhadap nilai-nilai budaya tersebut dan pencapaian mereka dalam bahasa Inggris. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan adanya korelasi positif antara nilai-nilai budaya yang dipraktikkan di asrama dengan keberhasilan akademik mahasiswa dalam bahasa Inggris. Secara khusus, nilai-nilai seperti kerja sama, disiplin, dan ketekunan berkontribusi signifikan dalam meningkatkan prestasi bahasa Inggris mahasiswa. Temuan ini menekankan pentingnya lingkungan belajar yang kaya akan nilai budaya dalam mendukung keberhasilan akademik sekaligus pelestarian identitas budaya. Penelitian ini merekomendasikan agar strategi pendidikan di Institut Shanti Bhuana terus menekankan integrasi nilai-nilai budaya Dayak untuk semakin mendorong keunggulan akademik dan pengembangan pribadi mahasiswa.

Abstract

ABSTRACT This study aims to examine the character education values portrayed in the film Big World (2024), focusing on the life journey of Liu Chunce, a teenager with cerebral palsy who faces various physical and social challenges. This topic is particularly significant as film media has the potential to serve as an effective tool for conveying moral messages and shaping character, especially among younger generations. The research employs a qualitative descriptive method with a content analysis approach based on the framework of Mayring and Fenzl. The analysis focuses on 26 character values identified by the Ministry of Education and Culture of the Republic of Indonesia. Data were collected through documentation and analyzed by identifying dialogues, actions, and experiences of Liu Chunce that represent moral values. The findings reveal that 13 character values, such as discipline, perseverance, patience, independence, social care, and leadership, are prominently reflected in the protagonist’s behavior. These values are demonstrated through Chunce’s perseverance, empathy, honesty, and optimism despite his physical limitations. The results suggest that Big World is not only a cinematic work but also an educational medium that can be utilized in character education, particularly within the context of inclusive and values-based learning. This research is expected to contribute to educators, researchers, and education practitioners in integrating film media into instructional strategies that foster positive character development. ABSTRAK Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji nilai-nilai pendidikan karakter yang ditampilkan dalam film Big World (2024), dengan fokus pada perjalanan hidup Liu Chunce, seorang remaja penyandang cerebral palsy yang menghadapi berbagai tantangan fisik dan sosial. Topik ini menjadi penting karena media film berpotensi menjadi sarana efektif untuk menyampaikan pesan moral dan membentuk karakter, khususnya bagi generasi muda. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode deskriptif kualitatif dengan pendekatan analisis isi berdasarkan teori Mayring dan Fenzl. Analisis diarahkan pada 26 nilai karakter yang ditetapkan oleh Kementerian Pendidikan dan Kebudayaan Republik Indonesia. Data diperoleh melalui dokumentasi dan dianalisis dengan mengidentifikasi dialog, tindakan, serta pengalaman Liu Chunce yang merepresentasikan nilai-nilai moral. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa 13 nilai karakter, seperti disiplin, ketekunan, kesabaran, kemandirian, kepedulian sosial, dan kepemimpinan, secara dominan tercermin dalam perilaku tokoh utama. Nilai-nilai ini ditunjukkan melalui ketekunan, empati, kejujuran, dan optimisme Chunce meskipun memiliki keterbatasan fisik. Temuan ini mengindikasikan bahwa Big World bukan hanya karya sinematik, tetapi juga media edukatif yang dapat dimanfaatkan dalam pembelajaran karakter, khususnya pada konteks pendidikan inklusif dan berbasis nilai. Penelitian ini diharapkan dapat memberikan kontribusi bagi pendidik, peneliti, dan praktisi pendidikan dalam mengintegrasikan media film ke dalam strategi pembelajaran yang menumbuhkan karakter positif.

Abstract

This study investigated the effectiveness of using flashcards to improve English vocabulary mastery among fifth-grade students at SDS Bina Setia Meradak. The research was motivated by the significant challenge of limited vocabulary acquisition in this rural elementary school, which is characterized by scarce educational resources and non-specialist teachers. The study adopted a pre-experimental design with a one-group pre-test and post-test approach, involving 20 fifth-grade students as participants. Data were collected through a vocabulary test consisting of 20 multiple-choice questions. The results revealed a significant improvement in students' vocabulary mastery. This was evidenced by the substantial increase in the mean post-test score of 81.25 compared to the mean pre-test score of 57.50. A paired-sample t-test showed a statistically significant difference with a p-value of p<0.001, confirming the effectiveness of the intervention. The calculated effect size using Cohen’s d was 3.19333, indicating a very large effect of the flashcard method. This improvement can be attributed to the characteristics of flashcards, which facilitate visualization, repetition, and active student engagement. The study concludes that flashcards are an effective, affordable, and easily prepared instructional medium, particularly suitable for enhancing vocabulary acquisition in resource-limited rural schools. The findings also highlight the need for training non-specialist teachers to adopt innovative teaching methods to improve English language instruction.
