Abstract

This study aims to explore the effectiveness of using Indonesian language learning modules in the Independent Curriculum (Curriculum Merdeka) to improve student learning outcomes. This research took place at SMP Primbana Medan, in the 2024/2025 academic year. This study used a descriptive qualitative approach with a case study design. The respondents were Indonesian language teachers and students in grades VII, VIII, and IX. Participatory observation guidelines were used to collect research data. This participatory observation technique was reinforced by other techniques, namely in-depth interviews and documentation. To ensure data validity, source triangulation and member checking techniques were conducted with the primary respondents. Effectiveness data were analyzed using a thematic approach through the stages of data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The results showed that the use of learning modules encouraged active student involvement, improved understanding of the material, and supported independent and contextual learning. Several obstacles were also found, such as students' difficulties in understanding the modules without guidance and the lack of adjustment of module content to students' learning needs. This study provides strategic recommendations to improve the effectiveness of Indonesian language learning modules in the Independent Curriculum, thereby enhancing student learning outcomes.

Abstract

This study aims to describe the grammatical errors found in explanatory texts written by eleventh-grade students of SMA Santo Petrus Medan in the 2024/2025 academic year. The research was conducted during the even semester, from January to June 2025. The population included all eleventh-grade students, with a sample of 90 texts selected from class XI using purposive sampling. Data collection instruments included written tests, documentation, and observation. The data analysis technique employed the distributional method (metode agih) by Sudaryanto, utilizing the basic technique of Immediate Constituent Analysis (BUL) along with advanced techniques such as deletion and substitution. The results show that the most dominant grammatical errors were found in the use of grammatical cohesion, particularly in reference and conjunction. Reference errors include unclear or contextually inappropriate pronouns, while conjunction errors include excessive use, improper choice, or absence of necessary connectors. Data were presented systematically with coded references to clearly identify each error and its context. These findings highlight the need for writing instruction that emphasizes discourse structure and grammatical cohesion to help students produce more coherent and effective texts.

Abstract

This study aims to describe the forms of affixation morphological errors in speech texts written by eighth-grade students of the Smart Bangsa Private Junior High School. This study uses a qualitative descriptive method. The study was conducted at the Smart Bangsa Private Junior High School in the 2024/2025 academic year. The study population was 80 eighth-grade students' speech texts. The sample consisted of 75 texts selected purposively. Data collection on the forms of affixation morphological errors in speech texts was carried out through documentation techniques based on observation guide sheets. The observation guidelines were compiled using objective and systematic steps. Data analysis of the forms of affixation morphological errors in speech texts used the distribution method supplemented by advanced techniques, including the lesap technique and the ganti technique. The results of the study, based on the analysis of 75 data points, showed that only 23 data points contained affixation errors. The types of errors that appeared included errors in the use of prefixes, errors in the use of suffixes, and errors in the use of confixes. The most dominant error was in the use of prefixes. Meanwhile, errors in the use of infixes were not found. This finding shows that students still experience difficulties in applying the rules of affixation morphology correctly, especially in formal writing contexts such as speech texts.
