Abstract

Education in underserved settings often faces challenges due to rigid pedagogical approaches that limit student engagement and creativity. This study explores the impact of rhizomatic pedagogy on student engagement in a rural Indonesian elementary school, focusing on its ability to foster inclusive and interactive learning environments. The intervention involved 30 fifth-grade students over eight weeks, incorporating culturally relevant content, collaborative projects, and learner-directed activities. A mixed-methods approach combined pre- and post-intervention surveys with classroom observations and teacher interviews to assess engagement levels across cognitive, emotional, and behavioral dimensions. Results showed statistically significant improvements in engagement, with mean scores increasing for cognitive (3.45 to 4.12), emotional (3.22 to 3.98), and behavioral (3.18 to 4.05) dimensions. Qualitative findings highlighted enhanced participation, collaboration, and sustained focus, driven by activities that connected academic content to students’ lived experiences. The teacher emphasized the transformative role of student autonomy and cultural relevance in fostering deeper learning connections. The study’s findings have implications for curriculum design, teacher training, and educational policy, particularly in resource-constrained settings. Rhizomatic pedagogy demonstrates the potential to address key limitations of traditional teaching methods by promoting agency, inclusivity, and contextual learning. Future research should investigate its long-term impact and explore strategies for scaling its implementation in diverse educational environments. This study contributes to the discourse on innovative pedagogies, offering actionable insights for reimagining education in underserved contexts.

Abstract

This study investigates linguistic complexity and multimodal strategies in student presentations, aiming to enhance understanding of effective communication in educational settings. The research employs a qualitative approach, analyzing verbal and non-verbal features from video recordings, interviews, and presentation materials of seventh-semester students. Results indicate a wide range of linguistic abilities, with vocabulary diversity and sentence complexity varying significantly among participants. Multimodal strategies, particularly the integration of verbal, visual, and gestural elements, were found to significantly enhance audience engagement. Challenges such as anxiety, language barriers, and technical difficulties were identified, with strategies like peer practice and feedback proving beneficial. The study highlights the importance of targeted support and technical training to improve presentation skills. These findings contribute to the existing knowledge by emphasizing the value of multimodal communication and suggesting practical approaches for educators. Future research could explore skill development over time and the impact of multimodal strategies in diverse educational contexts.

Abstract

This study explores the effectiveness of a rhizomatic approach in enhancing reading comprehension through the integration of local literature at SD Negeri 161 Enrekang, South Sulawesi, Indonesia. Literacy skills, particularly reading comprehension, are critical for academic success, yet traditional teaching methods often fail to engage students or foster critical thinking. While rhizomatic learning has proven effective in higher education, its application in primary education remains underexplored. This study employed a mixed-methods design, incorporating classroom observations, analysis of students' written responses, and pre-test and post-tests to measure the impact of this approach on student engagement and comprehension. The findings revealed significant improvements in reading comprehension, with students demonstrating greater engagement and the ability to make personal and cultural connections with the texts. These results suggest that the rhizomatic approach, integrated with local literature, can create a more interactive and meaningful learning experience for young learners. The study emphasizes the importance of culturally relevant texts in enhancing literacy skills and provides insights into the potential of non-linear learning frameworks in primary education. Further research is recommended to examine the long-term effects and scalability of this approach.

Abstract

This case study investigates the impact of free writing activities on students' confidence in writing English as a Foreign Language (EFL). Conducted at SMPN 5 Anggeraja with 20 students, the study examines how the integration of free writing influences students' writing confidence, comfort with writing tasks, perceptions of their writing abilities, and reduction in writing anxiety. Data was collected through semi-structured interviews conducted after three free writing sessions, which were observed by the researcher across 16 classroom meetings. The findings revealed that free writing significantly improved students' confidence in writing, as many students felt freer to express their ideas without the pressure of grammatical accuracy. Additionally, the study found that students became more comfortable with writing tasks, with 17 out of 20 students reporting increased engagement in writing activities. Students also reported enhanced perceptions of their writing abilities, with many expressing improved fluency and organization. Furthermore, a majority of students experienced a reduction in writing anxiety, as they began to approach writing tasks with greater ease. These findings suggest that free writing is an effective method for fostering writing confidence and reducing anxiety in EFL classrooms. The study underscores the importance of providing students with opportunities for low-pressure writing activities that prioritize content and self-expression over grammatical accuracy.

Abstract

This study examines the impact of deep learning-supported game-based learning on literacy skills in primary school students in Indonesia. A four-month intervention involving 32 fifth-grade students used adaptive educational games to target phonemic awareness, vocabulary, and reading comprehension. Utilizing a quasi-experimental design with pre-test and post-test assessments, the study found an average literacy score increase of 31.84 points post-intervention. Students from lower socioeconomic backgrounds showed the greatest improvement, indicating the potential of adaptive, technology-assisted education to reduce learning disparities. The use of deep learning models to personalize feedback and adjust content to individual needs was key to enhancing student engagement. The findings suggest that integrating deep learning with game-based learning can significantly boost literacy outcomes, especially in under-resourced settings. Further research is recommended to evaluate these interventions across broader populations and extended timelines

The extended writing allowed the incorporation of the process into the assessment of writing skills and encouraged increased students autonomy. The research was conducted through a classroom action research (CAR) that comprising 18 students. The results of the student's writing text in the cycle 1 and cycle 2 had increased in different scores. The means scores in data source where 61.67 become 63.61 in cycle 1, and after revision, in the cycle 2, the mean score in cycle 2 was 74.72 by application of extended writing project assessment. The successful minimal criterion (KKM) was 70. It can be seen that the application of Extended Writing Project Assessment was increased significantly. The most obvious consequence of this is that the ideas presented by the students are better, and the time needed to complete an essay is much more efficient.
