Abstract

Efforts to develop assistive devices for children with disabilities at YPAC Foundation Pangkal Pinang, a school that provides education for children with special needs. This initiative is a form of commitment from the Mechanical Engineering Study Program in covering cooperation in the field of education at the YPAC Pangkal Pinang Foundation, where in 2023 the Mechanical Engineering Study Program at Bangka Belitung University has submitted a walking aid, but there is still much that needs to be developed from the device. The focus of this collaboration is aimed at children with disabilities, who have difficulty in mobility. Based on an evaluation by the UBB team with the General Chairperson of the YPAC Foundation, it was found that the device that we had submitted still had weaknesses in supporting walking training for children with disabilities, so that they still experienced difficulty and discomfort in experiencing walking. As a follow-up, the UBB Mechanical Engineering Team succeeded in updating a flexible walking aid that can be used by children of various ages, is safe when used and is expected to improve the mobility and quality of life of children with disabilities at the YPAC Pangkal Pinang Foundation.

Abstract

Lexical variation demonstrates word variations utilized in university students’ writing. The focus of this study was to investigate the lexical variation in students’ academic writing and factors contributing to the variations in their’ writing. The data sources for this descriptive study were the introduction portions of the thesis proposals submitted by the students. To identify lexical variance in students' writing, thirty introduction portions from their thesis proposals were gathered and examined. The results showed that university students used fewer different terms in their writing and that nouns predominated in their compositions. Furthermore, the morphological knowledge gaps and vocabulary knowledge of the students were the elements impacting the lexical variations in their academic writing. This study came to the conclusion that pupils were still unable to use a variety of terms in their writing based on its findings. Therefore, it was anticipated that the students would increase their vocabulary in order to write more effectively and to generate work that was richer and better.

Abstract

The rapid development of digital technology has encouraged the integration of media and digital literacy into classroom practice so that students are able to access, analyze, evaluate, manage, and create information critically and responsibly. Responding to this need, this study aimed to examine the effectiveness of the Multiliteracy Integrative Learning (MULGRANING) model assisted by Google Classroom in improving students’ media and digital literacy within scientific text learning. This research employed a descriptive quantitative method involving 68 grade XI students from two public high schools in Padang City as participants. Data were collected using an expert-validated observation sheet that systematically assessed students’ literacy performances during the learning process, covering indicators of information access, evaluation, management, and utilization. The descriptive analysis revealed varied literacy tendencies among students, with 38.24% categorized as high, 44.12% moderate, and 17.64% low. These findings demonstrated that the implementation of the MULGRANING model effectively supported the development of media and digital literacy, particularly in indicators related to accessing, selecting, and critically evaluating digital information. However, the aspects of information management and utilization were still predominantly in the moderate category, suggesting that students require further guidance in organizing information and applying it to solve problems or produce scientific work. Overall, this study provides empirical evidence regarding the potential of technology-assisted learning models to strengthen students' media and digital literacy competencies. These findings highlight the importance of integrating digital platforms to create more innovative and relevant learning environments.
