Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of the Guessing Game method in improving descriptive text writing among seventh-grade students at SMPN 1 Beji. A quasi-experimental design was employed, utilizing pre-test and post-test measures in both an experimental class (7H) and a control class (7i), each consisting of 34 students. The findings revealed that the implementation of the Guessing Game method significantly enhanced students' descriptive text writing skills, as demonstrated by a t-test value of 0.003, which was below the significance level of 0.05 (0.003 < 0.05). This suggests that the Guessing Game method is an effective instructional approach for teaching descriptive text writing to seventh-grade students. The advantages of using this method include its simplicity, requiring minimal steps in writing, and its facilitation of students' ability to draw upon their prior gameplay experiences. This research provides implications for educators to employ interactive and engaging approaches, such as the Guessing Game, to foster students' writing abilities effectively. Highlights: The Guessing Game method significantly improves seventh-grade students' descriptive text writing skills. The method simplifies the writing process and incorporates students' prior gameplay experiences. Interactive and engaging approaches, like the Guessing Game, enhance student engagement and learning outcomes in writing. Keywords: Guessing Game method, descriptive text writing, seventh-grade students, quasi-experimental design, writing instruction.

Abstract

Kegiatan seni pertunjukan dalam komunitas sering kali mengalami tantangan dalam hal perencanaan, penetapan tanggung jawab, dan kolaborasi, sehingga produksi sering kali berlangsung secara informal. Pengembangan kapasitas organisasi komunitas seni menjadi krusial untuk menjamin kelangsungan acara tersebut. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk memperdalam pengetahuan para pelaku seni mengenai manajemen pertunjukan melalui pelatihan yang diadakan di Dewan Kesenian Sidoarjo. Sebanyak 20 peserta yang terlibat aktif dalam penyelenggaraan pertunjukan mengikuti pelatihan ini. Pengumpulan data dilakukan melalui observasi, diskusi kelompok, dan catatan refleksi dari peserta, kemudian dianalisis dengan pendekatan tematik. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa sebelumnya, peserta mengelola kegiatan secara tidak resmi tanpa rencana yang terdokumentasi dan pembagian tugas yang jelas. Setelah mengikuti pelatihan, peserta menyadari pentingnya perencanaan produksi, struktur pembagian tanggung jawab, dan mekanisme koordinasi yang lebih teratur. Temuan ini menegaskan bahwa pelatihan manajemen pertunjukan dapat meningkatkan kapasitas organisasi komunitas seni dalam mengelola kegiatan dengan cara yang lebih terstruktur dan profesional.

Abstract

This qualitative study explores seventh-grade students' perspectives on using "The Story of Candi Pari" educational comic in English reading instruction at SMP Dharma Wanita 7 Tanggulangin, East Java. Data was collected through semi-structured interviews with 10 selected students, alongside observations and documentation, which were later analyzed through thematic analysis. Eight themes emerged in response to two research questions. Students identified four strategies that enhanced reading skills: the integration of visual and textual components aided comprehension; gaining vocabulary in context was facilitated by various hints; making comics led to increased engagement; and visual panels helped in grasping narrative structure. Four additional themes represented the students' views: increased enthusiasm and enjoyment, a preference for visual formats that reduce reading anxiety, cultural significance which contributes to a deeper understanding through familiar local material, and pride in their local identity and history. The results indicate that educational comics rooted in local narratives can serve effectively as both instructional and reading resources. They encompass multiple dimensions of reading development, such as cognitive, metacognitive, motivational, and sociocultural elements. This offers substantial proof of the effectiveness of culturally relevant multimodal approaches in secondary education in Indonesia.

Abstract

Low levels of reading interest and student engagement remain major challenges in high school English instruction. This issue is further exacerbated by the continued use of conventional teaching strategies and the limited integration of multimodal media and digital technologies. This community service program aimed to enhance teachers’ pedagogical competence in teaching reading through a multimodal approach, literacy enrichment, and the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI). The program was implemented in three stages: a workshop, the development of teaching modules, and classroom implementation, involving 52 high school English teachers from the MGMP in Sidoarjo Regency. Data were collected through pre-activity and post-activity questionnaires and analyzed descriptively. The results indicate a significant improvement in teachers’ understanding of multimodal, literacy-based, and AI-assisted reading instruction, increasing from approximately 60–70% at the initial stage to over 85% after the workshop. All participants successfully developed instructional modules, and more than 75% implemented them in their classrooms. This implementation contributed to increased student engagement, as reflected in higher levels of participation and interaction during reading activities. These findings suggest that a practice-based training approach—integrating workshops, module development, and classroom implementation—is effective in enhancing teachers’ competence and promoting more interactive and contextualized reading instruction. It is recommended that similar programs be sustained through ongoing mentoring to ensure long-term impact.

Abstract

Background: Despite the growing adoption of online learning, limited research has examined how synchronous and asynchronous modalities affect pre-service teachers’ mastery of pedagogical theories in Teaching English for Young Learners (TEYL) courses. During the COVID-19 shift to remote teaching, TEYL teacher education faced the challenge of ensuring future teachers developed adequate pedagogical content knowledge despite reduced face-to-face interaction. This study addresses this gap by investigating the relationship between students’ perceptions of synchronous (Zoom) and asynchronous (Moodle) learning and their academic performance in TEYL course.   Methodology: This quantitative ex post facto study involved 71 fifith-semester students enrolled in TEYL course, divided into a synchronous class (n=40) and an asynchronous class (n=31). Data were collected through a validated 34-item perception questionnaire (Cronbach’s α = 0.87) and midterm exam scores. While the sample size was relatively small, it provided initial evidence of how different modalities function in a teacher education context.   Findings: Regression analysis revealed a significant positive relationship between students’ perceptions and their midterm exam scores in both modalities ((R² = .309 synchronous; R² = .325 asynchronous). However, independent t-test results showed no statistically significant difference in exam performance between the two groups (t(69) = 0.165, p = 0.87).   Conclusion: These findings suggest that well-structured synchronous and asynchronoous learning can both support TEYL teacher education effectively, provided that instructional design aligns with students’ need and course objectives.   Originality: This study is original in its focus on pre-service teachers in TEYL course an underexplored participant group and highlights how modality choice interacts with students’ perceptions to shape learning outcomes. Its findings offer practical insights for teacher educators designing blended or hybrid curricula in the post-pandemic era.
