Abstract

Mathematics learning not only trains students to do mathematical calculations but also trains critical, logical, analytical, and systematic thinking abilities. These four abilities are indicators of mathematical thinking ability. The ability of mathematical thinking gives contribution considerably in developing science and technology. One of mathematics subjects which was learned by Diploma III of informatics engineering study program is calculus mathematics. In the discret mathematics subject, there is a sub-material about picewise function, in programming language often known as logic function if ... than. This research used Classroom Action Research type (CAR). The research stages that had been made as follows: (1) determination of research focus; (2) action planning; (3) implementation of the action; (4) observation and interpretation; (5) analysis and reflection. The procedure of collecting research data was done through four stages, as follows: (1) conducting a written test before applying an action and written test after the implementation of each cycle action; (2) observation was done during learning process, (3) interview was done after final test implementation, (4) documentation in the form of photo. The findings of this research were the students' responses during the learning activities by using computer learning media were the passionate and active students in the group discussion activities as well as during the learning process. The results showed that learning which was designed appropriately with discovery steps could encourage students to improve their mathematical thinking ability. The use of computer media such as Geogebra could help students to achieve a better understanding which was related to material function through visual appearance. Students could identify the variable value of a function simply by putting a point on the graph which was formed.

Abstract

Speaking is one of English skills in teaching and learning process. It is also one of the target of the students to speak in learning English for Specific Purposes especially in English for Accounting. In achieving the target in teaching speaking, it is needed a method which is appropriate in speaking activity when the students practice to speak in the classroom. This study aims to describe the use of role play for teaching speaking especially to the students in English for Accounting. It describes speaking activities by using role play and the benefit of role play for teaching speaking in English for Accounting. Role play can be as an effective method that the ESP lecturer uses in teaching speaking of English for Accounting. It gives students more chances to act and interact with their groups and they bring liveliness and lighten up the atmosphere in speaking class.

Abstract

The main issue in improving academic writing skills in English among college students is the difficulty in developing coherent and grammatically accurate writing. The aim of this research is to evaluate the effectiveness of using AI-based technology in enhancing students' writing abilities and addressing gaps in traditional teaching methods that often lack personalized feedback due to limited teaching time. This research employs a mixed-method approach, combining quantitative pre-experimental design and qualitative methods. The study uses an experimental design with control and experimental groups consisting of students from classes 1A and 1B. A pre-test was conducted, followed by three writing assignments over seven weeks, with the experimental group receiving AI feedback. The results show a significant improvement in the writing skills of the experimental group, with average scores increasing from 1204 to 1364, a statistically significant difference (p <0.05). Additionally, this study also explores students' perceptions and attitudes towards AI tools, providing insights into the acceptance and effectiveness of such tools in diverse educational environments. It can be concluded that the integration of AI-based tools in teaching academic English writing significantly improves students' writing skills. The integration of AI in English writing instruction can be an effective solution to address teaching challenges and enhance the quality and effectiveness of learning. This research recommends a wider application of AI technology in education to support the development of students' writing skills.
