Abstract

Various learning media are available in the world of education which can be an option for educators to choose learning media that suits the conditions of their respective classes. This research aims to analyze the use of e-book learning media in English classes at elementary School 1 Boja (SDN 1 Boja). This research is descriptive qualitative research. Data collection methods use interviews, questionnaires, and observation. The research results showed that the use of e-book learning media has various positive impacts, including: increasing students' learning motivation, improving students' interest in learning, and increasing students' activeness during the teaching and learning process. The conclusion obtained is that e-book learning media has a positive impact on the English language learning process in elementary schools. It is recommended that e-book learning media also be applied to other subjects.

Abstract

The growing emphasis on competency-based and reflective learning models in global counselor education, as promoted by UNESCO and OECD frameworks, highlights the need for pedagogical innovations that foster critical thinking and learner autonomy. Responding to this global demand, this study examines the implementation of the Inquiry-Based Learning (IBL) model in the Guidance and Counseling course and analyzes students’ responses to its application. Using a qualitative descriptive design and questionnaires, the research involved 68 undergraduate students in their second and fourth semesters. The findings indicate that IBL significantly enhanced students’ engagement (by 87%), critical thinking (by 76%), and conceptual understanding of counseling theories (by 81%). Students reported that IBL encouraged greater independence, reflection, and collaborative inquiry throughout the learning process. This study addresses a notable gap in the literature: empirical evidence on IBL in counselor education—particularly in non-Western contexts remains limited. Conceptually, the results affirm the alignment of IBL with constructivist and experiential learning paradigms, offering a model that bridges theory and practice in developing the foundational competencies of future counselors. In practice, these findings underscore the potential of IBL as a transformative strategy for cultivating globally relevant, contextually grounded counselor education.

Abstract

This study investigated the effectiveness of ChatGPT-assisted Inquiry-Based Learning (IBL) in enhancing English as a Foreign Language (EFL) students' writing performance, reflective thinking, and motivation. A quasi-experimental pretest–posttest non-equivalent control group design was employed with 80 undergraduate EFL students assigned to either a conventional IBL group or a ChatGPT-assisted IBL group. Data were collected through IELTS-based writing assessments and validated questionnaires on reflective thinking and motivation and analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. The findings showed that students in the ChatGPT-assisted IBL group significantly outperformed those in the conventional IBL group in writing performance, reflective thinking, and motivation. Positive associations were also observed among the three learning outcomes, suggesting that integrating generative AI into inquiry-based instruction supports both cognitive and affective aspects of learning. These findings highlight the pedagogical potential of ChatGPT to enrich inquiry-based writing instruction by promoting reflective learning, increasing student motivation, and improving writing quality. Although the quasi-experimental design limits causal inference, the study provides empirical evidence supporting the integration of generative AI into EFL teaching and offers practical implications for AI-enhanced language learning in higher education.
