Abstract

Animaker, as one of the digital storytelling tools to write a descriptive text in the learning intervention, is promoted in this pilot study. As a part of a classroom action research, this study is conducted to build the students’ digital storytelling literacy. Firstly, it aims at investigating the students’ challenges of using Animaker as a medium to write a descriptive text. Secondly, it is to describe how the aspects of digital storytelling were promoted by Animaker. A descriptive qualitative method is used to analyze the data gained from a questionnaire and the document of students’ animated videos created by using Animaker. The results found that the process of inserting audio files was the most difficult to do for 80% of the students. Around 20%-40% of them were also challenged by the way of adjusting the duration and the volume of the audio inserted on each page. The use of Animaker also promoted the students’ diverged digital storytelling literacy in 11 aspects; the topic, purpose, creator, audience, organization, narration, multimedia, educational value, mechanics, sources, and originality. Then, it is suggested that the use of Animaker should apply certain strategies to minimize the challenges and to increase the students’ digital storytelling literacy. Finally, the researchers recommend this tool to be used frequently in EFL learning as a tool to reinforce the students’ digital storytelling literacy.

Abstract

The aim of this research is to determine the effect of using English Stories With Level application on students' vocabulary mastery in the seventh grade of SMP Negeri 4 Pematangsiantar in 2024/2025 academic year. The research aimed to determine the effect of using the English Stories With Level Application as a media for learning vocabulary at seventh grade of SMP Negeri 4 Pematangsiantar. The objective of the study was to find out whether this application could significantly improve students' vocabulary mastery. The research utilized a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental design, which included both a pre-test and post-test. The population consisted of 300 students, from which two classes were selected via cluster random sampling. The experimental group received instruction using English Stories with Level Application, while the control group used conventional media (handbook). Data collection involved administering pre-tests and post-tests to both the experimental and control groups. The descriptive analysis revealed that the mean post-test score for the experimental group was 73.00, while the control group scored 66.50. A paired-sample t-test confirmed a statistically significant difference between the pre-test and post-test scores of the experimental group, with a p-value of 0.000 (p < 0.05), leading to the acceptance of the alternative hypothesis (Ha). This suggested that the use of this application as a media for vocabulary learning was more effective than traditional methods. In conclusion, the research demonstrated that English Stories with Level Application significantly enhanced vocabulary acquisition among seventh grade students.

Abstract

Penelitian ini mengkaji bagaimana perasaan siswa SMP di Pematangsiantar tentang Kurikulum Merdeka. Kurikulum Merdeka adalah sistem pendidikan baru di Indonesia yang berfokus pada pengembangan keterampilan seperti berpikir kritis, kreativitas, dan pembelajaran mandiri. Kurikulum ini memungkinkan siswa untuk mengeksplorasi konsep dengan cara yang lebih fleksibel dan bermakna. Untuk memahami pendapat siswa, penelitian ini menggunakan kuesioner dengan 50 siswa kelas sembilan. Pertanyaan tersebut mencakup tiga bidang: kognitif (berpikir), afektif (perasaan), dan psikomotor (tindakan). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa siswa merespons secara positif di semua bidang: kognitif (74,13%), afektif (81,2%), dan psikomotor (79,6%). Banyak siswa menyukai pembelajaran praktis dan kesempatan untuk mengembangkan bakat mereka. Namun, beberapa merasa sulit untuk menyelesaikan tugas sendiri tanpa dukungan guru yang cukup. Penelitian menunjukkan bahwa Kurikulum Merdeka dapat meningkatkan cara siswa belajar dan berpikir. Kurikulum ini membantu mereka menjadi lebih percaya diri dan kreatif. Namun, masih ada beberapa tantangan, terutama ketika siswa diharapkan untuk mandiri tanpa bimbingan yang cukup. Studi ini menyarankan agar guru menerima lebih banyak pelatihan dan memberikan dukungan yang lebih baik untuk membantu siswa mengatasi kesulitan-kesulitan ini. Dengan demikian, Kurikulum Merdeka dapat berjalan lebih baik dan memenuhi kebutuhan siswa.
