Abstract

This community service program aimed to improve students' understanding of moral values and to strengthen their character through story-based learning. The program was carried out at SMAN 8 Padang, targeting ninth-grade students through training in story analysis using a critical narrative analysis approach. A participatory action approach was applied in the form of interactive workshops and Focus Group Discussions (FGD), with the training materials focused on narrative texts, the identification of moral values, and the reinforcement of characters' traits. The results show that students were able to identify the moral values embedded in the stories, particularly honesty, responsibility, cooperation, and empathy, and to relate them to their everyday lives. The activity also encouraged students to think more critically in evaluating the moral consequences of the characters' actions. These findings indicate that story-based moral value analysis training is an effective learning strategy to support the Character Education Strengthening (Penguatan Pendidikan Karakter) program in secondary schools.

Abstract

Students' ability to understand Job Vacancy materials remains a challenge in English language learning due to limited vocabulary mastery, insufficient understanding of text structure, and low confidence in identifying information related to the workplace. This condition encouraged the implementation of a Community Service Program in the form of Job Vacancy training for twelfth-grade students at SMA Pembangunan Padang. The program aimed to improve students' English proficiency through interactive learning activities. The methods included needs assessment, material presentation using PowerPoint, videos, and visual media, group discussions, educational games, practice in analyzing job vacancy advertisements, and end-of-program evaluation. The results showed that students actively participated throughout the training, demonstrated higher enthusiasm during learning activities, and improved their ability to identify essential elements of Job Vacancy texts. The program also created a more engaging learning environment and increased students' motivation to learn English. Therefore, interactive Job Vacancy training can serve as an effective community service strategy to support the improvement of English language competence among senior high school students.

Abstract

This study was conducted to analyze students' difficulties in understanding English reading texts, particularly narrative texts, in the tenth grade of SMK Negeri 6 Padang. The purposes of this research were to analyze how students experience difficulties in understanding narrative texts and to identify the factors that cause these difficulties. The researcher focused on five reading comprehension indicators, namely identifying the main idea, finding specific information, understanding vocabulary, identifying references, and making inferences. This research employed a descriptive research method. The population of this research consisted of 139 tenth-grade students of SMK Negeri 6 Padang. The sample was determined using cluster random sampling, resulting in class X Busana 4 with 35 students, of whom 31 students completed the test and were used in the data analysis. The research instrument was a reading comprehension test consisting of 30 multiple-choice items based on narrative texts, administered within 60 minutes. The collected data were analyzed by calculating the students' scores, mean score, and percentage of each achievement category. The results revealed that the students' reading comprehension ability was categorized as High, with a mean score of 70.41. The percentage of the students' achievement was distributed as follows: 35% (11 students) were categorized as Very High, 32% (10 students) as High, 12% (4 students) as Moderate, and 19% (6 students) as Low, while no students were categorized as Very Low. Further analysis of each indicator showed that identifying the reference obtained the highest achievement, followed by finding specific information, identifying the main idea, and understanding vocabulary, while making inferences was found to be the most challenging indicator. The findings indicate that students' difficulties were mainly caused by limited vocabulary mastery, low reading interest, and insufficient practice in reading English texts.
