Abstract

Development of an Integrated Attendance System at the Private Senior High School (SMA) Nur Azizi Tanjung Morawa: Messenger API Integration to Improve Parent-Guardian Communication and Monitor Student Attendance in Real-Time. Advances in information and communication technology have influenced various aspects of life, including education. One technology implementation that is increasingly common is a Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) based attendance system. However, although this system provides the advantage of automatically recording student attendance, delays in providing information to parents regarding student attendance is a major obstacle. To overcome this problem, this research aims to develop and implement a messenger API in the attendance system at Nur Azizi Tanjung Morawa Private High School. This integration is expected to strengthen communication between schools and parents and monitor student attendance in real-time.

Abstract

Faktor kunci yang menentukan tingkat keaktifan belajar siswa adalah semangat belajar siswa. Semangat belajar siswa yang dinilai dari minat belajar, memperhatikan pelajaran, motivasi belajar, dan pengetahuan berdampak pada hasil belajar siswa yang optimal. Pandemi COVID-19 melanda Indonesia pada tahun 2020, menyebabkan segalanya berubah. Belajar di sekolah berganti dengan belajar di rumah, secara online, atau jarak jauh, menurut undang-undang pemerintah. Variabel ekonomi, faktor sosial, masalah kesehatan, dan karakteristik kepribadian, semuanya berdampak pada seberapa efektif pembelajaran online. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk menganalisis aspek-aspek yang dapat mempengaruhi keberhasilan pembelajaran online, serta kesulitan-kesulitan pembelajaran online yang mempengaruhi semangat belajar siswa selama masa pandemi dan solusi yang tepat. Penelitian ini menggunakan tinjauan pustaka atau kepustakaan dengan menggunakan sumber data sekunder seperti buku pelajaran, e-book, jurnal, peraturan, situs web, dan sumber lain yang terkait dengan pertanyaan penelitian. Model interaktif digunakan untuk menilai data penelitian secara kualitatif, yang meliputi pengumpulan data, reduksi data, penyajian data, dan penarikan kesimpulan. Siswa kemudian mengusulkan cara kepada pendidik untuk meningkatkan efektivitas pembelajaran online, seperti merangkum materi pembelajaran yang harus diunduh, menggunakan pertemuan virtual untuk menjelaskan teori yang sulit dipahami, menghindari tugas yang berlebihan, dan selalu bertanya kepada siswa tentang materi yang tidak dipahami, penyampaian materi terkait forum diskusi atau webinar untuk melatih beradaptasi secara online, menjadwalkan pembelajaran, dan menggunakan sistem atau platform yang sama dengan media pembelajaran online secara kelompok atau individu.

Abstract

This study aimed to explore the synergistic integration of these competencies within the context of Business English education, particularly relevant during the COVID-19 pandemic's shift to online instruction. This study involved 23 vocational students aged 21-23 who were tasked with watching model public speaking videos and subsequently creating and recording their own presentations. Data was collected through questionnaires and in-depth interviews, revealing that this video-recording task significantly benefited students by enabling them to identify their individual misconceptions about public speaking, actively engage in self-directed learning strategies, and demonstrably improve their overall public speaking proficiency. These findings underscore the potential of incorporating such video-based assignments in online language learning environments to foster both independent learning and enhanced communication skills. Furthermore, our research discusses the pedagogical implications of these results for educators and suggests avenues for future research in the fields of language education and online learning, emphasizing the value of combining self-assessment through recording with autonomous learning principles to enhance communicative competence.

Abstract

Nur Azizi Private High School, located in Tanjung Morawa, Deli Serdang Regency, is one of the schools with A accreditation which continues to be committed to improving educational services. However, currently the delivery of information in this school still relies on manual wall magazines, which results in slow distribution of information, lack of interest in reading among students, teachers and staff, as well as dependence on print media. As technology develops, more effective solutions are needed to manage and convey information quickly, directly and accessible anytime and anywhere. Based on the results of discussions with the school, Nur Azizi Private High School needs a digital media that is easy to use, user-friendly, and can speed up the dissemination of information. Therefore, the community service team plans to implement a broadcasting system in the form of a digital website with an auto-reload feature that will be integrated with smart TVs. The implementation of this system is expected to increase the efficiency of delivering information and support the need for faster, more accurate and modern communication at Nur Azizi Private High School. Initial evaluations showed an improvement in the quality of infrastructure and student interest in accessing school information through more modern media.

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine the lexical density of six children’s stories in order to assess the richness and complexity of language usage in these texts. The study examined the selected stories from a children’s storybook using a qualitative content analysis technique to identify the fraction of content words, such as nouns, verbs, adjectives, and adverbs, that contribute to the total lexical density. To measure the lexical density of the storybooks, the analytical approaches were inspired by Ure (1971) and Halliday (1985). The findings demonstrated varying degrees of lexical density in children's storybooks, providing insights into the variable vocabulary and linguistic complexity used in these writings.
