Abstract

In this qualitative study, we would like to discover the national character development and cultural education from a local wisdom. The results obtained indicate that Indonesian national education today still faces a number of significant problems. The educational outcomes have not met the expected expectations, in which the learning process in schools is still unable to form the integrity of the graduates and reflect the character and culture of the nation. The education process tends to focus on the cognitive aspects, while the affective aspects that are essential for living in society have not been optimally developed. Therefore, the development of the education of the character and culture of the nation has become a must to be done in schools. Schools as the centre of change must pursue education based on the character and culture of the nation with seriousness. The character and the culture of a nation developed in the school must be in harmony with the local, regional, and national character and cultures. To these goals, the education of character and cultural nation must be developed based on local wisdom.

Abstract

This quasi-experimental study examines the influence and significant influence of the EWA English learning application on the listening skills of tenth-grade students at SMAN 4 Metro. Two classes were designated as an experimental group (using the EWA app in learning) and a control group (using traditional instruction), and both groups underwent pre-test and post-test assessments of listening comprehension. The experimental group’s average listening score improved from 54.14 (pre-test) to 75.72 (post-test), a gain of 21.58 points, whereas the control group’s average score increased from 53.33 to 66.64. Statistical analysis confirmed that score in the experimental group was significantly greater than that of the control group, as indicated by paired-sample and independent-sample t-tests (p < 0.05). Assumption tests verified that the data were normally distributed and had homogeneous variances (Shapiro-Wilk test and Levene’s test, respectively), validating the use of parametric analysis. These findings demonstrate that integrating the EWA app into English learning can significantly influence students’ listening skills compared to conventional teaching methods.

Abstract

This study investigated the effect of Wakelet on eighth-grade students' vocabulary mastery at SMP Yos Sudarso Metro using a quasi-experimental design with a pre-test and post-test administered to experimental and control groups. The experimental group (n=30) received vocabulary instruction using Wakelet, while the control group (n=30) was taught using conventional methods. The findings from the Paired Sample T-Test indicated a significant improvement in vocabulary mastery within the experimental group (p < 0.001). However, the Independent Sample T-Test revealed no statistically significant difference in post-test scores between the experimental and control groups (p = 0.504). The study concludes that while Wakelet demonstrates a positive effect on vocabulary mastery, it does not provide significantly different results compared to traditional teaching methods. The findings suggest that combining Wakelet with traditional teaching methods can improve vocabulary learning. Future research is recommended to examine the long-term impact of using the Wakelet and the potential for developing other language skills.

Abstract

This study explores how the Medium platform contributes to the development of metacognitive awareness and reading comprehension in digital learning environments. In the era of technology-based education, learners are increasingly required to become active and independent readers who can regulate their own learning processes. Metacognition plays a significant role in helping learners monitor, evaluate, and improve their understanding while reading. At the same time, reading comprehension remains a major challenge in many educational contexts, including Indonesia. Through its long-form articles, interactive features, and diverse academic content, Medium provides learners with opportunities to engage in reflective and critical reading practices. The platform encourages users to analyze information, identify comprehension gaps, and develop critical thinking skills through continuous interaction with meaningful texts. Furthermore, Medium supports both literacy development and higher-order thinking by creating a digital space that promotes deep cognitive engagement rather than passive content consumption. Therefore, this article argues that the Medium platform serves as an effective digital tool for enhancing learners’ metacognitive awareness, reading comprehension, and critical thinking abilities in contemporary education.
