This study aims to develop android-based interactive learning media through webtoon application as an effort to improve the English language skills of high school students through literacy culture during the pandemic. This study also aims to foster reading interest in high school students through smartphone technology. The subjects of this study were high school students. The research method used is triangulation method which includes data triangulation, inter-researcher triangulation and theoretical triangulation. The data collection techniques used were interview, observation and documentation which were analyzed with descriptive qualitative analysis techniques. The results showed that the respondents' English skills and reading interest increased with the use of the webtoon application. Based on the results of the study, it can be concluded that the use of android-based webtoon application makes students not only learn the existing material, but can also increase their reading interest.

Abstract

Children’s literature plays a crucial role in shaping moral values and reflecting cultural norms. Although many studies have examined individual folktales, limited research directly compares Western and Eastern narratives to understand how cultural contexts shape moral instruction. This study compares the Western folktale Cinderella and the Eastern folktale Bawang Merah Bawang Putih to examine how each story teaches ethics and virtues to children. Using a qualitative comparative analysis, data were collected through textual analysis and a review of relevant literature. Results show that Cinderella emphasizes individual virtue rewarded through external assistance, reflecting Western ideals of personal achievement, while Bawang Merah Bawang Putih highlights moral integrity and the consequences of actions, reflecting Eastern values of communal harmony. By offering a cross-cultural comparison, this study contributes to a deeper understanding of how folktales function as culturally embedded tools for moral education and provides insights for educators and researchers on integrating cultural narratives into ethical instruction.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the quality of test items in a psycholinguistics course using the Classical Test Theory. The data used consisted of 30 students’ responses to 20 multiple-choice test items, which were analyzed using several indicators: difficulty level, discriminatory power, item-total correlation, and instrument reliability. The results showed that most items were in the moderate difficulty category (p = 0.46–0.56), with one item categorized as easy (p = 0.73) and two items as difficult (p = 0.26). The discriminatory power of the majority of items was in the very good category (87.5%–100%), while three items showed lower discriminatory power and required revision. The item-total correlation was generally very high (r = 0.88–0.99), indicating consistency among items, but several items with lower correlations (r < 0.70) suggested possible wording inaccuracies or content inconsistencies. The test’s reliability reached 0.99, indicating very high internal consistency, although this value was influenced by the quite extreme response patterns between the upper and lower groups. Overall, the test instrument was considered good, but several items needed revision, particularly in terms of distractors, difficulty level, and item functionality, to ensure more accurate and representative learning evaluations.
