Abstract

This research aims to evaluate the impact of implementing gamification in English language teaching on the academic performance of junior high school students, focusing on the context of SMPN 5 Enrekang, Indonesia. The study is based on the understanding that English education plays a crucial role in the development of student's communication skills but faces challenges such as the lack of appeal in conventional teaching methods and the limitations of interactivity in traditional learning. Descriptive analysis results indicate that before the intervention, the average pretest scores of both groups were relatively comparable, demonstrating the equivalence of students' prior knowledge. However, after the intervention, the experimental group showed a significant improvement in post-test scores, while the control group experienced a lower increase. These findings suggest that gamification has a greater positive impact on enhancing the English language proficiency of students compared to traditional teaching methods. This research contributes to the education literature by highlighting the potential of gamification in addressing challenges in English language learning at the junior high school level. The results also provide practical guidance for educators in designing innovative and effective learning strategies to enhance student motivation and academic achievement. Thus, the implementation of gamification is expected to be a step towards improving the holistic and relevant quality of education.

Abstract

This study investigates the synergistic effects of integrating Information and Communication Technology (ICT) and gamification on reading literacy among elementary school students. The aim was to evaluate how these innovative approaches can enhance reading skills, motivation, and engagement in a classroom setting. A mixed-methods design was employed, involving quantitative assessments of reading comprehension and vocabulary retention, alongside qualitative surveys capturing student experiences. The results indicate that students in the experimental group utilizing gamified ICT applications experienced significant improvements in reading comprehension and vocabulary retention, with a 41% increase compared to a mere 7% for the control group. Qualitative feedback revealed heightened motivation and engagement, supporting the notion that gamification fosters intrinsic motivation in learning. The findings underscore the potential of gamified ICT environments to enhance reading literacy and student engagement, providing valuable insights for educators and policymakers. Future research should focus on larger, diverse samples and longitudinal studies to further explore the effectiveness and sustainability of these innovative educational practices.

Abstract

The rapid proliferation of digital media underscores the need for enhanced media literacy, particularly among junior high school students who are increasingly exposed to vast, unverified information sources. This study investigates the effectiveness of Project-Based Learning (PBL) as a catalyst for media literacy development, focusing on students at SMPN 7 Anggeraja, Enrekang Regency, South Sulawesi. The objective was to determine whether PBL could improve students' abilities in accessing, analyzing, and creating media content, while also fostering engagement and collaborative skills. Using a mixed-methods design, this study combined quantitative pre- and post-tests with qualitative interviews and focus groups to capture both measurable outcomes and nuanced insights. Sixty students participated in a six-week PBL intervention, engaging in tasks that required critical evaluation of media sources, identification of media bias, and creation of media content. Pre- and post-intervention assessments revealed statistically significant improvements across all media literacy dimensions, with notable advancements in students’ analytical and creative abilities. Qualitative findings further highlighted increased engagement, motivation, and collaborative skills, as students actively participated in hands-on, group-based projects. These findings underscore PBL’s effectiveness in cultivating critical media literacy competencies and suggest its broader applicability as an educational strategy for fostering digital citizenship skills. By integrating PBL into media literacy curricula, educators can bridge existing instructional gaps, preparing students for responsible media engagement in a complex digital world. This study contributes to the growing body of literature supporting experiential learning models in media literacy education, with recommendations for further research on PBL’s long-term impact and adaptability across diverse educational contexts.
