Abstract

This study investigates the perceptions of 10th-grade students at SMAS Harapan Mandiri concerning the use of digital flashcards in English vocabulary acquisition. Recognizing vocabulary as a cornerstone of language proficiency, the research employed a qualitative descriptive methodology, collecting data through questionnaires completed by 22 students to explore their cognitive, affective, and psychomotor responses. The findings reveal that the majority of students hold favorable views toward digital flashcards, perceiving them as effective tools that enhance understanding, facilitate retention of vocabulary, and sustain motivation during the learning process. Students particularly valued the interactive and visually appealing design of digital flashcards, noting that features such as colorful layouts and engaging formats contribute to improved concentration and active participation in classroom activities. Nevertheless, the study also highlights that students’ independent use of digital flashcards outside the classroom remains limited. Contributing factors include a continued preference for traditional learning methods—such as handwritten notes and printed materials—as well as practical barriers, notably limited access to digital devices and unreliable internet connectivity at home. Despite these challenges, the integration of digital flashcards aligns well with established theories of multimedia learning and student-centered instruction by promoting active engagement and intrinsic motivation. In conclusion, digital flashcards represent a valuable pedagogical tool for enriching vocabulary instruction, creating a more dynamic and learner-focused environment. It is recommended that educators incorporate digital flashcards systematically into their teaching practices and encourage students to utilize them for autonomous study. Further research is warranted to identify strategies that could enhance students’ motivation and capacity to engage with digital learning tools independently, thereby maximizing their potential benefits for language learning.

Abstract

This study examines institutional control and restrictions on individual freedom in the novel “1984” by George Orwell from a literary sociology perspective. The objectives are to identify forms of institutional control, analyse how institutional structures limit individual autonomy and social justice, and explain the relevance of these issues in modern society. This study uses a descriptive qualitative method with a literature review approach. The primary data source consists of selected chapters from the novel, while the data include dialogues, narratives, and events related to surveillance, ideological control, truth manipulation, resistance, and freedom restrictions. Data were collected using the observe-and-record method and analysed through the interactive analysis model by Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña. The findings reveal that institutional control is carried out through technological surveillance, ideological influence, psychological domination, and manipulation of historical truth. These mechanisms gradually reduce individual autonomy, freedom of expression, rationality, and privacy. The study concludes that the novel portrays the power of totalitarian institutions in controlling both social behaviour and human thought, making it a relevant social critique of modern society.
