Abstract

Many students are afraid to speak English in front of the class although they already learn grammar and vocabulary. They are afraid of making mistakes and being laughed at by their friends. Role-play is one of the activities that can help the students to be more confident. This study discusses the improvement of students' speaking confidence through role-play activities. The study used a mixed-method design with an experimental class and a control class. The data were collected through a questionnaire, speaking test, observation, and interview. The result shows that the speaking confidence of the experimental class is higher than the control class and the students enjoy the activities. So, role-play can be used by the teachers to teach speaking.

Abstract

Science literacy among elementary school students remains relatively low, particularly due to the lack of integration between scientific concepts, cultural context, and digital learning environments. This study aims to develop and validate an integrated learning model that combines ethnoscience, discovery learning, and digital media to support science literacy in elementary education. The study employed a design-based research approach involving literature analysis, model development, expert validation, and a limited try-out. The results indicate that the proposed model is categorized as very valid, with an average validation score of 4.4 (88%) in terms of content relevance, construct coherence, and practicality. The limited try-out results show that approximately 90% of students were actively engaged in learning activities, while 85% were able to follow the learning syntax effectively. The integration of ethnoscience provides contextual learning experiences, discovery learning facilitates active knowledge construction, and digital media enhances interactivity and conceptual understanding. Therefore, the proposed model offers a comprehensive and applicable instructional framework to support science literacy in elementary education. This study contributes to the development of integrated learning models by providing a structured and empirically supported framework that can be implemented in elementary science classrooms
