Abstract

Pendidikan karakter merupakan salah satu komponen utama dalam sistem pendidikan nasional yang bertujuan untuk membentuk peserta didik yang tidak hanya cerdas secara intelektual, tetapi juga memiliki integritas moral, etika, dan kepribadian yang baik. Di tengah tantangan degradasi moral, penyimpangan perilaku, dan krisis identitas yang semakin marak pada anak usia sekolah dasar, kegiatan ekstrakurikuler hadir sebagai sarana strategis untuk menanamkan nilai-nilai karakter secara kontekstual dan aplikatif. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis peran kegiatan ekstrakurikuler dalam membentuk karakter siswa sekolah dasar, mengidentifikasi nilai-nilai karakter yang dikembangkan, serta mengevaluasi faktor-faktor pendukung dan penghambat dalam implementasinya. Metode yang digunakan adalah penelitian kualitatif dengan pendekatan deskriptif. Teknik pengumpulan data dilakukan melalui observasi langsung terhadap kegiatan ekstrakurikuler, wawancara mendalam dengan guru pembina, kepala sekolah, siswa, dan orang tua, serta studi dokumentasi terhadap perencanaan dan laporan kegiatan sekolah. Subjek penelitian adalah siswa kelas IV hingga VI dari lima sekolah dasar di wilayah urban dan rural yang memiliki program ekstrakurikuler aktif dan beragam. Analisis data dilakukan secara induktif dengan cara reduksi data, kategorisasi tematik, dan penarikan kesimpulan.Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kegiatan ekstrakurikuler secara signifikan mampu mengembangkan nilai-nilai karakter seperti tanggung jawab, kedisiplinan, kerja sama, kejujuran, kepedulian sosial, dan semangat kebangsaan. Kegiatan seperti pramuka, olahraga, seni budaya, dan kerohanian memberikan ruang nyata bagi siswa untuk belajar melalui pengalaman langsung, berinteraksi dengan teman sebaya, dan menghadapi tantangan secara aktif. Guru pembina yang berperan sebagai teladan moral, dukungan manajemen sekolah, serta partisipasi orang tua berkontribusi besar dalam keberhasilan kegiatan ini.Namun demikian, terdapat berbagai hambatan dalam pelaksanaan pendidikan karakter melalui ekstrakurikuler, seperti kurangnya alokasi waktu, keterbatasan sumber daya manusia yang terlatih dalam pembinaan karakter, belum adanya integrasi sistem evaluasi karakter yang sistematis, serta kurangnya pemahaman stakeholder terhadap pentingnya karakter dalam kegiatan non-akademik. Untuk mengatasi hal ini, diperlukan kebijakan sekolah yang integratif, pelatihan kompetensi guru pembina, serta pelibatan komunitas dan orang tua dalam perencanaan dan evaluasi kegiatan ekstrakurikuler. Implikasi dari penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa ekstrakurikuler tidak hanya berfungsi sebagai pelengkap kegiatan belajar mengajar, tetapi harus menjadi bagian integral dari kurikulum berbasis karakter. Sekolah dasar perlu merancang program ekstrakurikuler yang berorientasi pada pembentukan profil pelajar Pancasila yang mencerminkan nilai-nilai religius, nasionalis, mandiri, gotong royong, bernalar kritis, dan kreatif. Penelitian ini memberikan kontribusi konseptual dan praktis bagi pengembangan kebijakan pendidikan karakter di tingkat sekolah dasar.

Abstract

Despite its increasing popularity among young adults, TikTok has been very slow in finding its way into the English as a foreign language (EFL) teaching profession. Yet before introducing the application into the EFL classrooms, it is no doubt imperative to discern what is preferable among EFL learners. Thus, the aim of the present study was to examine the extent to which EFL learners perceive TikTok as facilitating their learning. To this end, the participants (N = 31) were asked to fill out a short, online questionnaire to gather information about (i) whether they utilized TikTok as an affordance for their EFL learning and (ii) whether they perceive its integration into the EFL classrooms as facilitative of their learning. The findings revealed that although they did not explicitly mention that they used TikTok as an affordance for their EFL learning, they held a belief that TikTok is effective in promoting their English proficiency. According to the students, there were three factors of note which contribute to the effectiveness of TikTok, namely abundant authentic input availability, easy-to-grasp information and availability of free tuition related to English language learning. Pedagogically, it implies that TikTok is worth integrating into the EFL classrooms.

Abstract

This study explores how English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learners use TikTok to improve their pronunciation and speaking fluency. Recognizing the growing influence of social media in education, the research investigates the ways in which students integrate TikTok into their language learning practices. A descriptive qualitative design was employed to capture students’ lived experiences. Nine undergraduate students from AMIK ITMI Medan participated in semi-structured interviews and shared their TikTok-based speaking activities. Data were analyzed thematically to identify recurring patterns and insights. The findings reveal that TikTok serves as a practical and engaging tool for developing oral skills. Students used short video features to imitate native speakers, repeat expressions, and refine their pronunciation through multiple recordings. The process also improved their fluency as repeated performance reduced hesitation and increased speech confidence. Moreover, the platform’s interactive and entertaining nature fostered motivation, enjoyment, and a sense of achievement. Despite these benefits, some challenges were noted, including distractions from non-academic content, the use of informal language, and technical barriers. In conclusion, the study demonstrates that TikTok can function as an effective supplementary platform for EFL speaking practice. It provides authentic exposure, encourages self-directed learning, and enhances motivation in a low-pressure environment. The results suggest that teachers should guide students in purposeful use of TikTok, balancing creativity with structured learning objectives to maximize its pedagogical value.

Abstract

Fluency in English speaking is a vital competence for English Language Education students because it supports both academic success and future professional performance. However, many students continue to encounter difficulties in achieving oral fluency due to various internal and external factors. This study aimed to identify and analyze the factors influencing students’ challenges in speaking English fluently. The investigation focused on internal aspects such as anxiety and motivation, and external aspects including exposure to English and instructional methods. Employing a mixed-methods design, the research combined quantitative and qualitative data. A survey was administered to 56 English Language Education students to gather information about their experiences, challenges, and perceived barriers. The quantitative data were analyzed descriptively, while ten students were later interviewed to gain deeper insights into their perspectives. The results revealed that limited vocabulary, low confidence, speaking anxiety, and lack of English-speaking environments were the main obstacle affecting fluency. Most participants expressed a need for more supportive, practice-oriented learning conditions. These findings indicate that integrating interactive methods, authentic assessment, and non-threatening classroom environments can enhance students’ speaking proficiency.
