Abstract

This study aims to identify the difficulties faced by teachers in implementing the Independent Curriculum at SMA Wahyu Makassar. The research employed a descriptive qualitative study method. Qualitative data were collected through interviews, observations, and checklists involving second grade teachers as participants. The findings indicate that while the flexibility of the Independent Curriculum is appreciated for allowing adjustments to teaching methods and materials to meet student needs, several significant challenges were identified. Key difficulties include inadequate communication from the government regarding the curriculum, insufficient teacher preparation, and an overreliance on existing textbooks and guides. The lack of a clear vision and inconsistent support from various stakeholders further complicates the implementation process. Teachers expressed the need for a more defined vision and robust support systems, including ongoing professional development and improved infrastructure. Despite resistance to change and limited understanding of the curriculum's principles, stakeholder support and teacher commitment suggest that with appropriate adjustments, the Independent Curriculum can achieve its intended outcomes.

Abstract

Keterampilan menulis yang baik memungkinkan pemikiran kritis dan komunikasi yang efektif, baik untuk tujuan akademik, profesional, maupun pribadi. Keberhasilan akademik, pemikiran kritis, dan komunikasi yang efektif bergantung pada kemampuan menulis yang baik. Namun, banyak siswa menghadapi kesulitan membuat tulisan yang mudah dipahami, ringkas, dan terorganisir. Latihan menulis tradisional tidak selalu melibatkan siswa atau menekankan keterampilan komunikasi dunia nyata. Kesenjangan ini menunjukkan bahwa pendekatan pengajaran kreatif harus digunakan untuk membantu siswa membangun keterampilan penting secara terstruktur selain membuat tulisan relevan dan menarik. Melalui penulisan yang terfokus dan berorientasi pada tujuan, pelatihan menulis berita menawarkan solusi yang ampuh untuk masalah ini. Metode yang digunakan yaitu pemaparan materi, praktik menulis berita dan Focus Group Discussion. Hasil pelatihan menunjukkan selama pelatihan menulis berita, siswa mampu mengumpulkan informasi dari sumber yang dapat diandalkan, memverifikasi kebenaran, dan mensintesis informasi dari berbagai sudut pandang. Mereka juga dapat mengevaluasi kredibilitas sumber informasi dan mempraktikkan pengumpulan informasi yang dapat dipertanggung jawabkan selama pelatihan. Tim pengabdian menyimpulkan bahwa pelaksanaan pelatihan menulis berita di SMK Laniang Makassar berjalan dengan baik dan memenuhi tujuan pengabdian.

Abstract

Constructing logical warrants to connect factual evidence with interpretive claims represents a core yet widely underemphasized writing skill among university students. This investigation examines why EFL undergraduates at an Indonesian university encounter persistent difficulties in warrant-based argumentation and how such difficulties constrain the growth of their higher-order thinking capacities. A descriptive qualitative approach guided data collection from 20 students at Universitas Islam Makassar, South Sulawesi, using three complementary instruments: a critical-thinking writing assessment, a timed argumentative composition task, and semi-structured interviews. Student outputs were coded and evaluated through the lens of Toulmin’s Argumentation Model (2021), with particular attention to the logical bridges students constructed—or failed to construct—between their evidence and their conclusions. Results expose a striking “Synthesis Crisis”: although the overwhelming majority of students (85%) showed competence in distinguishing facts from opinions at the sentence level, a mere 10% succeeded in weaving these elements into warranted arguments within extended writing. The investigation pinpoints three intertwined barriers: (1) an evidence-accumulation strategy devoid of interpretive purpose, exhibited in 35% of written outputs; (2) a pervasive equation of academic stance with subjective personal feeling, documented among 60% of respondents; and (3) a near-total failure to articulate logical warrants, observed in 80% of all essays examined. The study concludes that prevailing EFL writing pedagogy in Indonesian tertiary institutions—preoccupied with correctness and structure—falls critically short of fostering genuine argumentative competence. Curricular reform centered on warrant-explicit instruction is urgently warranted.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of the Spelling Bee method in improving English vocabulary mastery of eighth grade students at SMP Negeri 17 Marusu. This study uses a quantitative approach with a pre-experimental design, namely one-group pretest-posttest. A total of 25 students of class VIII.a were selected as research samples. Data were collected through vocabulary tests before and after treatment, and analyzed using the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test. The results of the study showed a significant increase in students' vocabulary mastery after the Spelling Bee method was implemented. The average pretest score of students was 80.80, while the average posttest score increased to 98.00. The results of the statistical analysis showed a significance value of 0.000 (p <0.05), so the null hypothesis (H?) which states that "there is no significant difference in vocabulary improvement before and after treatment" is rejected. Conversely, the alternative hypothesis (H?) which states that "there is a significant difference in vocabulary improvement before and after treatment" is accepted. In addition, this method also increases students' motivation and participation in learning English. Thus, the Spelling Bee method can be considered as an effective learning strategy to improve students' English vocabulary mastery.

Abstract

This study aimed to examine the effectiveness of using a guessing game through the Kahoot application to improve vocabulary mastery among kindergarten children. The research was conducted at TK Dharma Wanita UNHAS, involving children from group B2 as participants. The study employed a pre-experimental design using a one-group pre-test and post-test model. The vocabulary materials covered in this study focused on four main themes: colors, animals, fruits, and numbers. These topics were selected based on their relevance and familiarity to early childhood learners. The pre-test results showed that most students were in the "Not Yet Developed" (30%) and "Starting to Develop" (35%) categories. In contrast, the post-test results showed that none of the students remained in the "Not Yet Developed" category. A total of 50% of students reached the "Developed Very Well" category, indicating a significant improvement after the implementation of the guessing game with the Kahoot application. The students' average scores also increased from 47.5 to 80. In conclusion, the findings suggest that the use of Kahoot-based guessing games is an effective teaching strategy for enhancing vocabulary mastery among kindergarten children. It creates a fun, interactive, and motivating learning environment, which is essential for young learners in acquiring new improving vocabulary.

Abstract

The ability to integrate facts and opinions through logical warrants constitutes a fundamental yet frequently neglected competency in undergraduate academic writing. This study investigates the nature and causes of undergraduate EFL students' struggles with logical warrant construction and examines how these difficulties impede broader critical thinking development. Employing a descriptive qualitative design, data were collected from 20 undergraduate students enrolled at Universitas Islam Makassar, South Sulawesi, Indonesia, through three instruments: a Critical Thinking-Based Writing Test, a short essay assignment, and a focused interview protocol. Findings were analyzed using Toulmin's Argumentation Model (2021), focusing on the presence and quality of Claims, Data, and Warrants. The results reveal a profound "Synthesis Crisis": while 85% of participants demonstrated adequate declarative knowledge of the fact-opinion distinction, only 10% succeeded in constructing explicit logical warrants in their argumentative essays. Three interconnected obstacles were identified: (1) the "data-dumping" phenomenon (present in 35% of essays), wherein factual evidence is cited without interpretive purpose; (2) a persistent misconception of academic opinion as purely subjective feeling (observed in 60% of participants); and (3) the wholesale absence of logical warrant construction (documented in 80% of essays). These findings suggest that current EFL writing pedagogy in Indonesian higher education, which predominantly emphasizes structural and grammatical correctness, is insufficient for developing genuine argumentation competency. Implications for curriculum redesign and warrant-focused pedagogical intervention are discussed.

Abstract

Although writing scientific papers requires critical thinking and mastery of academic language, many students still struggle with coherence, logical structure, and proper citation. However, advances in artificial intelligence (AI), particularly prompt-based generative language models, offer new opportunities to support academic writing. The training included a presentation of the material and practical exercises, followed by questionnaires and interviews to explore students’ perceptions. The results indicated that the moderate and targeted use of AI, especially during the planning and revision stages, improved the clarity of the academic language and the cohesion between paragraphs. AI helped students overcome psychological barriers to writing, increasing their motivation without raising ethical concerns related to academic integrity and overreliance on AI-generated content. Overall, the community service team concludes that prompt-based AI can effectively enhance students’ scientific papers when used with critical reflection, guidance from lecturers, and strong ethical awareness.
