Abstract

The problem of plagiarism in writing scientific articles is intellectual dishonesty and received a lot of attention during this research, and relatively few students understand about plagiarism. A total of 16 respondents from final year students of the English education department involved in this research. The single group pretest-posttest comparative method was used to assess an action to determine the performance gap between the two time periods, before and after the intervention. Student papers were first submitted to measure their level of plagiarism without their knowledge. The results showed that Muhammadiyah Enrekang students practiced plagiarism on average 50.88%. Subsequently, the students were introduced by Turnitin's plagiarism detecting software and advised to examine their writing using software. The learning model intervention is then carried out with development training. The results showed that the average level of plagiarism among students decreased by 18.81%. In terms of students' perceptions of using Turnitin as a standard way of submitting their final assignments and to get feedback, the overall student reaction to the system used was positive. To avoid plagiarism, a more systematic approach should be taken by the University towards the problem of academic dishonesty, and in particular by students for the specific reasons why they practice plagiarism.

Abstract

The study on Revolutionizing English Vocabulary Learning: Harnessing the Power of TikTok Videos aims to determine whether the TikTok app can help seventh grade students at SMPN 4 Enrekang enhance their English vocabulary. The research methodology employed is experimental research, with the design being a quasi-experimental design, specifically the Pretest-Posttest Control Group design. It involves two variables: the independent variable (vocabulary) and the dependent variable (TikTok). Based on the average scores, the pretest results for the control class were 21.33, and for the experimental class, 21.86. The posttest scores showed an increase, with the control class averaging 53.87 and the experimental class 61.87. From these results, it is evident that there is a difference in the average learning outcomes between the control and experimental classes of 8.00, indicating that learning outcomes through the use of TikTok videos are higher than those achieved using the lecture method. The results of the study, conducted with seventh grade students at SMP Negeri 4 Enrekang, conclude that TikTok videos are effective in increasing students' English vocabulary. This conclusion is based on the results of the independent sample t-test calculation, where the calculated t-value is greater than the t-table value (2.362 > 2.010) and the significance value is less than 0.05 (p = 0.022 < 0.05). Therefore, it can be concluded that there are significant differences in the English vocabulary acquisition outcomes between students in the experimental and control classes of the seventh grade.

Abstract

This study aims to improve students' motivation and learning outcomes in Natural Science (IPA) subjects through the application of the Scramble learning model supported by puzzle media. The research was conducted in two cycles, each involving the stages of planning, implementation, observation, and reflection. In Cycle I, the average student motivation was recorded at a moderate level (3.25) and the average student test score was 72.83, indicating variations in student motivation and learning outcomes. Based on the observations, improvements were needed, so in Cycle II, the researcher introduced more group discussion activities and modified the puzzle to make it more challenging. The results from Cycle II showed significant improvement with the average student motivation rising to 4.8 and the average student test score increasing to 81.88. This increase shows that the Scramble learning model assisted by puzzle media is effective in increasing student motivation and learning outcomes. The well-designed puzzle media, as well as group discussion activities, contributed to increased student engagement and understanding of the subject matter. This study concludes that the implementation of strategies involving a variety of learning media and group collaboration can significantly improve students' motivation and learning outcomes. The findings provide a strong basis for further development in learning practices and emphasize the importance of evaluation and adjustment of learning methods to achieve optimal results.

Abstract

This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of an elaboration-based storytelling approach in improving critical literacy skills among elementary students at SDN 13 Curio. The intervention involved storytelling sessions that used culturally relevant folklore, combined with elaborative questioning techniques to foster deeper understanding. The sample consisted of 30 students, with pretest and post-test measures used to evaluate changes in literacy skills, supported by qualitative observations of student engagement.The findings revealed a significant improvement in post-test scores compared to pretest results, indicating the success of the storytelling-based intervention. A paired sample t-test confirmed that the observed gains were statistically significant (t = 9.45, p < 0.001). Additionally, a strong positive correlation (r = 0.840, p < 0.01) was found between participation levels and literacy skill improvement, emphasizing the importance of active engagement in the learning process. Qualitative observations also showed high levels of participation, with students responding enthusiastically to culturally relevant materials.In conclusion, the elaboration-based storytelling model effectively enhanced critical literacy by fostering engagement and a deeper understanding of narrative content. This approach contributes valuable insights into educational methods for developing critical thinking skills in elementary students. Future research should explore the long-term impact of this intervention and its applicability across diverse educational settings to establish broader generalizability and sustainability.

Abstract

This study aims to explore the forms and strategies of integrating Social Emotional Learning (SEL) in English learning in elementary schools, as well as identify opportunities and challenges that arise in its implementation. This study uses a qualitative approach with an exploratory study design. The research subjects consisted of six female English teachers who taught elementary school students in English course institutions. Data was collected through in-depth interviews and classroom observations, then analyzed using a thematic analysis approach. The results show that teachers have implicitly integrated SEL principles in learning practice through various strategies, such as creating a positive and inclusive learning atmosphere, using collaborative activities such as games and storytelling, and providing positive reinforcement to foster students' empathy and confidence. SEL integration has been proven to open opportunities for strengthening social relationships between students, increasing learning motivation, and developing a more balanced character between cognitive and affective aspects. However, this study also found a number of challenges, including time constraints, the dominant focus on learning aspects, and the lack of teacher training in the systematic implementation of SEL. The results of this study confirm the importance of institutional support and the development of contextual SEL-based learning models in English learning at the elementary school level.

Abstract

This study investigates how constructivist pedagogy enhances the research proposal and manuscript writing competence of English as a Foreign Language (EFL) undergraduates. Responding to the challenges of low academic writing quality and limited publication outcomes in Indonesian higher education, the study implemented a twelve-week constructivist intervention integrating guided inquiry, peer collaboration, project-based learning, and reflective practice. A mixed-method quasi-experimental design was employed, combining quantitative (pretest–posttest) and qualitative (reflective journals and interviews) data. Participants comprised 22 students enrolled in a Research Proposal Writing course at Universitas Muhammadiyah Enrekang. Quantitative results revealed a statistically significant improvement across all five writing dimensions—Conceptual Clarity, Argument Development, Methodological Coherence, Language Accuracy, and Organization—with a large effect size (Cohen’s d = 2.18). Students’ writing self-efficacy also increased substantially in cognitive, linguistic, and regulative domains (p < .001), reflecting enhanced confidence, autonomy, and reflective awareness. Thematic analysis of qualitative data identified four major patterns of growth: (1) deepened understanding of research logic, (2) increased collaborative engagement, (3) development of reflective and self-regulated learning, and (4) shift from dependence to autonomy. The integration of both data strands confirms that constructivist pedagogy improves not only writing performance but also higher-order cognitive and affective capacities, enabling students to view writing as a process of inquiry rather than a static product. The findings extend constructivist learning theory within EFL contexts and provide an instructional model for fostering academic literacy and research competence aligned with Sustainable Development Goal 4 (Quality Education).
