Abstract

Listening, the most commonly utilized language skill, is paramount in everyday communication and educational settings. Recognizing the significance of listening comprehension and the challenges associated with teaching it, researchers have explored innovative methods such as podcasts and audio scripting to enhance listening skills. This study examines the efficacy of employing podcasts through the audio scripting method in improving students' listening abilities. The research adopts a quasi-experimental design with an equivalent control group to investigate the impact of this method on listening learning. The experimental group received instruction through podcasts and audio scripting, while the control group followed traditional listening exercises. Pre-tests and post-tests were administered to both groups to measure listening proficiency. The findings indicate a positive correlation between the audio scripting method and enhanced listening skills, with the experimental group showing significant improvement compared to the control group. These results suggest that audio scripting is an effective pedagogical approach for enhancing listening comprehension. Consequently, incorporating audio scripting into the curriculum offers a promising avenue for bolstering students' listening proficiency, which is crucial for their academic success and professional development in healthcare. Further research is recommended to explore this method's long-term effects and potential applications across different educational contexts.

Abstract

This study is aimed to find out the teachers’ challenges in virtual learning process to maximize the achievement of High School students in Indonesia. This research applied qualitative descriptive research with 5 English teachers as subjects of this research. The instruments are used in this research were interview and observation. The data has been analyzed by three steps according to Miles and Huberman theory. The results of this research showed that (a) the teachers’ challenges in virtual learning process are students’ far distance from internet sources, (b) difficult to access the clear explanation from the teachers and students, (c) lack of motivation to teach in limit access of students’ distance and network trouble, and (d) students’ less knowledge if using the internet and difficult to start the meeting using a different application. This study reveals that many challenges come over when the teachers applied virtual learning. Most of teachers were getting into trouble when entering the class if the students did not attend in virtual class because of far distance from internet sources. Another difficulty that challenges the teacher is their lack of giving motivation was not ineffective to teach their class. And the limit of network access made the students in loading to respond to the teachers' explanation and assignment to evaluate their knowledge.

Abstract

Podcasts have gained popularity as a flexible medium for delivering information across diverse genres, including news, entertainment, personal development, and education. This study investigates the integration of podcast-assisted media and Project-Based Learning (PjBL) to enhance English-speaking skills among third-semester students enrolled in the Public Speaking and Presentation course at Universitas Muhammadiyah Enrekang. The research addresses challenges in traditional language instruction, such as limited speaking opportunities and student anxiety, by leveraging the flexibility and authenticity of podcasts. Employing a pre-experimental one-group pretest-posttest design, the study examines the impact of this method on students' speaking abilities. Data analysis was conducted using a paired sample t-test, revealing a significant improvement in speaking skills, as indicated by the pretest and posttest score comparison (t = -34.997, p = 0.000). The findings demonstrate that integrating podcast-assisted media with Project-Based Learning (PjBL) provides an effective approach to enhancing students' English-speaking skill, offering opportunities for active participation and authentic listening experiences.

Abstract

Difficulties developing higher-order thinking skills (HOTS) in mathematics education represent a persistent and significant challenge in educational practice. These skills, such as analysis, evaluation, and creation, are essential for students to succeed in complex problem-solving and adapt to the evolving demands of the 21st century. This study assesses how effectively structured metacognitive training improves high school students' mathematical HOTS. The research employed a quasi-experimental pretest-posttest design involving 72 students from a senior high school in Indonesia, divided into two groups: an experimental group (n=36) that received metacognitive training over one semester, and a control group (n=36) that did not receive any intervention. The primary outcome measure was HOTS scores, assessed through standardized pre-test and post-test instruments designed to evaluate students' higher-order thinking in mathematics. ANCOVA results revealed a significant effect of the metacognitive intervention on HOTS post-test scores (F=44.36; p<0.001; ηp²=0.391), even after controlling for pre-test performance. The experimental group exhibited substantially greater HOTS improvements than the control group. These results prove that structured metacognitive training is an effective pedagogical strategy for fostering advanced mathematical thinking. The findings hold significant implications for curriculum designers, educators, and policymakers aiming to improve mathematics instruction, particularly within the Indonesian context. Future studies involving larger sample sizes, diverse school settings, and longitudinal follow-up are recommended to validate and extend the impact of this intervention.
