Abstract

This study aimed to investigate student perceptions of Simon Says as an icebreaker activity in an English language classroom. Employing a descriptive qualitative approach, the study involved ten students from Grade 11. A purposive sampling method was used to select participants. Data collection instruments included questionnaires administered before and after the implementation of Simon Says icebreaker activities, along with experimental instruction. Questionnaire results indicated that these icebreakers significantly enhanced student enthusiasm and interest in English language learning. Students reported completing the questionnaire accurately and comprehensively. These findings suggest that English language teachers incorporate Simon Says and similar interactive games into their classroom routines. These games can serve as effective icebreakers, fostering a relaxed and engaging learning environment and reducing student anxiety. This encourages greater student participation. This study has implications for both teachers and curriculum developers. Teachers can diversify their teaching methods, while curriculum developers can incorporate such games into teaching materials to enhance student engagement and motivation.

Abstract

Pelaksanaan pembelajaran General English di Pesantren SMA Islam Al-Falah, Aceh Besar, menunjukkan dampak positif yang signifikan dalam peningkatan kompetensi bahasa Inggris siswa. Pendekatan berbasis komunikasi yang diterapkan dalam pengajaran terbukti efektif dalam meningkatkan kemampuan berbicara, penguasaan kosakata, dan kepercayaan diri siswa. Integrasi nilai-nilai Islami dalam materi pembelajaran juga memperkuat pembentukan karakter siswa sesuai dengan visi pesantren. Penggunaan metode seperti task-based learning dan teknologi sederhana turut meningkatkan efektivitas pembelajaran. Namun, tantangan berupa keterbatasan fasilitas dan beragamnya kapasitas pengajar masih menjadi hambatan yang perlu diatasi untuk memaksimalkan hasil pembelajaran. Untuk mengoptimalkan pembelajaran General English, disarankan agar pesantren meningkatkan pelatihan bagi guru Bahasa Inggris, menyediakan bahan ajar yang lebih bervariasi, serta memperbaiki fasilitas yang mendukung proses pembelajaran. Selain itu, penggunaan metode yang lebih komunikatif dan berbasis teknologi, seperti pembelajaran berbasis proyek atau aplikasi belajar bahasa, dapat membuat siswa lebih aktif dan termotivasi. Dengan langkah-langkah tersebut, pembelajaran General English dapat lebih efektif dalam membekali siswa dengan keterampilan bahasa yang kompeten, sehingga siap menghadapi tantangan globalisasi.

Abstract

Literacy is essentially the ability of a person to read and write. Knowledge cannot be solely provided by teachers. Therefore, students are expected to be able to explore and seek knowledge and information from various sources to enrich their understanding. In Indonesia, there is still a weak understanding of multiple texts, or, in other words, a lack of comprehension of information. This indicates that the reading and writing literacy skills of Indonesian students are below the global average, especially in the current digital era. Recognizing this situation, the community service team consisting of permanent lecturers from University Muhammadiyah Aceh and I would like to develop reading and writing literacy at Baitul Arqam Islamic Boarding School Aceh Besar. This community service project began on February 19, 2023, and continued indefinitely. The target audience of this project was all middle school-level students. The method used in this community service project was community-based research (CBR), utilizing action research and participatory research approaches. Through guidance and support, the outcome was a book titled "Aku Menulis Aku Berdaya", which consisted of writings by the students of Baitul Arqam. The implications of the service outcomes can strengthen cooperation with neighborhood educational institutions and madrasas to increase the impact of this program, develop more materials and content specifically geared toward students’ literacy needs, including materials based on religion and culture, involve parents and guardians of students in the learning process to support literacy practices in the home environment, and periodically monitor the literacy development of students

Abstract

Prayer can serve as a valuable component of mathematical education, especially in Islamic schools, based on the constructivist learning theory. Utilizing community-based research methods, such as action and participatory research, fosters self-awareness and conflict resolution. Through prayer, students can engage in mathematical concepts like counting and multiplication by observing actions like bows and prostrations. Media supplements, such as a ball count, can enhance learning. Contextual notions of school mathematics are evident in prayer, such as adding and multiplying natural numbers, understanding sets, arithmetic sequences, and geometry concepts like lines, angles, and parallelism. For instance, the number of prayer units illustrates adding natural numbers, while the tahajjud prayer exemplifies multiples of two. Moreover, the congregation's rows during group prayer demonstrate line segments and parallel lines, while the standing position showcases various angles. These connections highlight the relationship between prayer and mathematics, offering unique insights into both disciplines. Integrating prayer into mathematical education not only enriches students' understanding but also fosters a holistic approach to learning.

Abstract

The Community Service Program (PKM) titled " Sentuhan Alami dalam Fashion: Membuat Ecoprint Rebus dengan Daun dan Bunga " was conducted at SMP Negeri 6 Banda Aceh, aiming to introduce the ecoprint technique to teachers and students. Ecoprint is an eco-friendly fabric dyeing method that utilizes natural materials such as leaves and flowers to create artistic patterns. This program included theoretical sessions, hands-on practice, and reflective discussions. The results demonstrated that both teachers and students successfully understood and applied the ecoprint technique. In addition to enhancing creativity and teamwork skills, the program fostered environmental awareness among participants. The resulting ecoprint products showcased unique aesthetics and sustainability values, creating opportunities for potential entrepreneurial activities. Thus, this community service made a significant positive impact, both in learning aspects and environmental preservation.
