Abstract

Pronouns are words that are used to refer to another word in a text, particularly in newspapers. It can become an issue if students do not grasp how to use a pronoun to refer to a single item in a text since most students focus solely on the meaning of each pronoun that they are familiar with, ignoring the meaning of context from the text. As a result, this research examines the types of pronouns and references that are commonly employed in newspapers. This study employed descriptive quantitative because it analyzes, describes, and counts the three types of references: Anaphora, Cataphora, and Exophora, according to the Jakarta Post's business news from March 2021. There were 31 news sources in this analysis. Anaphora is the most commonly used in this publication, according to the results of the analysis. Cataphora is the second series, and Exophora is the last. As a result, this research can help people better understand the context of a text when pronouns are used as a reference.

Abstract

This study examined the effectiveness of using YouTube as a media tool in conjunction with Vlog Task-Based Language Teaching (TBLT) to improve high school students' speaking abilities. This study used a quasi-experimental desing. While the control group adhered to a traditional curriculum that excluded vlogs and digital media, the experimental group actively participated in Vlog TBLT sessions, where students produced, edited, and engaged with YouTube video content. The findings showed that students' speaking skills significantly improved after being exposed to the Vlog TBLT technique. Compared to the passive learning seen in traditional approaches, the active participation demanded by vlog-based assignments allowed for a more deep and engaged learning experience, producing better results. Additionally, the findings implied that using YouTube vlogs in language instruction not only improved speaking ability but also fostered higher levels of student interest and involvement. This study had important ramifications for teachers looking to integrate digital media into their lesson plans. This study offered a viable substitute for conventional educational approaches that might not be able to satisfy the demands of today's students by demonstrating that Vlog TBLT with YouTube could be a potent instrument in contemporary language instruction. In the end, this study promoted a change to more creative and captivating teaching methods that used technology to improve language learning results.

Abstract

In the context of senior high school education, this study examines the relative contributions of visual learning style and self-efficacy on students' reading comprehension. 120 eleventh-grade students were chosen for the study using stratified random sampling, which was framed inside a quantitative correlational research design. A standardized reading comprehension exam, a self-efficacy scale, and a validated visual learning style questionnaire were among the tools used to collect the data.Self-efficacy emerged as the stronger predictor, however both visual learning style and self-efficacy had a statistically significant impact on reading comprehension, according to multiple regression analysis. These results highlight how crucial it is to support kids' self-belief and cater to their unique learning styles in order to improve reading performance. With a focus on the incorporation of visually enhanced instructional tactics and self-efficacy-enhancing interventions into English language teaching practices, the study provides pedagogical implications for educators and curriculum developers.

Abstract

This study explores how lecturers across five departments at Narotama University—Early Childhood Education (PG PAUD), Civil Engineering, Economics and Business, Computer Science, and Law—interpret and apply andragogical principles within project-based learning (PjBL). Using a qualitative phenomenological design, data were collected through semi-structured interviews with five purposively selected lecturers who had at least two semesters of PjBL experience. Thematic analysis revealed four major themes: (1) the shifting role of lecturers from information transmitters to facilitators; (2) increased student autonomy and engagement; (3) challenges related to students’ readiness for self-directed learning; and (4) the role of reflection in lecturers’ professional growth. The findings indicate that while andragogy aligns strongly with PjBL, its implementation is highly contextual, requiring adaptations based on disciplinary demands and student characteristics. This study contributes to the discourse on contextualized andragogical practice in higher education, highlighting implications for lecturer training, curriculum design, and institutional policy.

Abstract

The rapid development of generative artificial intelligence (AI) has transformed educational practices, creating new opportunities for teachers to enhance their professional competencies, particularly in digital literacy. However, existing research has largely focused on higher education contexts, with limited attention given to early childhood education teachers. This study aims to explore how early childhood education teachers utilize generative artificial intelligence to support digital literacy in their teaching practices. This study employed a qualitative exploratory approach involving 18 early childhood education teachers with experience in using generative AI tools. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews, open-ended questionnaires, and reflective responses. The data were analyzed using inductive thematic analysis to identify patterns of use, perceived benefits, and challenges in integrating generative AI into teaching practices. The findings reveal that teachers use generative AI in multiple ways, including instructional preparation, idea generation, information search, and digital communication. These practices contribute to the development of teachers’ digital literacy, particularly in content creation, creative engagement, information evaluation, and ethical awareness. At the same time, teachers experience challenges related to the accuracy of AI-generated content, ethical considerations, and the need to maintain professional judgment. This study contributes to the growing discourse on artificial intelligence in education by highlighting the role of generative AI as a supportive tool for enhancing teachers’ digital literacy in early childhood education. The findings emphasize that digital literacy in the AI era requires not only technical skills but also reflective and critical engagement with technology.
