Abstract

When Artificial Intelligence (AI) was incorporated into higher education, there was a major change. However, AI's influence on critical thinking remains an important issue for teachers. This study uses a quantitative survey design to explore the role of AI in developing critical thinking skills. The sample for this study comprised 10 fifth-semester students from the English Language Studies Study Program at IAIN Curup who followed the STEM education path. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire instrument with a 5-point Likert scale, validated to measure the frequency of AI use and critical thinking indicators. The findings show diversity in students' perceptions of AI's effectiveness in supporting their cognitive processes. From the descriptive findings, it has been revealed that 30 percent of the respondents strongly agreed and another 20 percent agreed with the proposition stating that the use of artificial intelligence increases efficiency in learning and processing information. However, there are also plenty of doubts: 30 percent of respondents were unsure about this issue, while 20 percent disagreed. This suggests a risk of dependence that may interfere with critical thinking and rational judgment when technology is used improperly. It is important to note that the results of the current study cannot be generalized due to the limited sample size.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the dimension of meaning in The Jakarta Post article based on the semantic theory of Kreidler (1998), which includes denotation, connotation, meaning relations, lexical meaning, grammatical meaning, morpheme, homonym, and polysemie. This qualitative research uses descriptive content analysis method. The data consists of 10 articles of The Jakarta Post that were purposively selected based on the diversity of themes and linguistic relevance. The data were collected through documentation, then analyzed systematically through data reduction, categorization, interpretation, and conclusion drawn. The results show that denotative meaning dominates the delivery of factual information, while connotative meaning is used to provide evaluative and persuasive nuances. The relationship of meaning plays an important role in building text cohesion. Additionally, lexical meanings and grammatical meanings work simultaneously in forming a complete contextual understanding. Analysis of morphemes shows that the processes of derivation and inflection successfully enrich the formation of word meanings. In addition, the use of polysemimes has been shown to be much more common than homonyms because it is able to provide a high flexibility of meaning in a journalistic context. Overall, this study successfully integrates various semantic components to uncover how meaning is systematically constructed by mass media.
