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

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.

Abstract

This study aims to recount the perceptions and experiences of students on integrating Augmented Reality (AR) in Learning English for Junior High School. This study is quantitative in nature by using 32 seventh grade students as treatment through AR-based learning tools. The dimensions are based on the 1-5 Likert scale-based questionnaire of ease of use, learning usefulness, technological features, and learning outcomes. Data was analyzed descriptively to describe the pattern of students' experiences and perceptions of AR technology. The results showed that AR had a positive impact on student motivation, engagement, and understanding. 77% of the students were found to be in the medium learning experience category, and 17% were found in the high category, showing that AR managed to produce significant learning experience. AR interactive functions allow students to learn better complex concepts visually and interactively; that said, AR applications in mastering complex information is still in the process of development. A limitation in the present study includes limited coverage of the population, with most studies having used quantitative approaches that did not give in-depth insight into students' experiences. Day, future studies should include a broader population as well as applying qualitative approach to get a holistic understanding. This study argues that AR is more than a technological development, it is a pedagogical strategy that can enhance the quality of English learning. The results can play a crucial role for educators, curriculum developers and policy decision makers for preparing learning strategies suitable for the needs of students in the digital age”.
