Abstract

Conceptual understanding in mathematics is an essential competency that students must master to achieve learning objectives. This study aims to determine the effect of the Bridging Analogy approach on students’ conceptual understanding of mathematics in Grade VIII at a junior high school in South Jakarta during the 2025/2026 academic year. The research employed a quasi-experimental method with a randomized two group post-test only design, involving two sample groups: class VIII C ar the experimental group and class VIII B as the control group, each consisting of 33 students. The research instrument consisted of a multiple-choice test with 30 items on the topic of relations and functions. Data were analyzed using the t-test with the aid of SPSS software. The results showed that the experimental group obtained an average score of 64.34 with a variance of 201.03, while the control group achieved an average score of 52.73 with a variance of 201.01. The hypothesis testing yielded at t-value 0f 3.328, which was greater than the t-table value of 1.998 at a 5% significance level, thus the alternative hypothesis was accepted. Therefore, it can be concluded that the implementation of the Bridging Analogy approach significantly improves students’ mathematical conceptual understanding. However, despite the statistical significance, the average score has not yet reached the minimum mastery criterion, suggesting the need for further practical improvements.

Abstract

This exploratory study examined the relationships among grammar awareness, critical thinking skills, and narrative essay writing ability among Indonesian EFL vocational high school students. Using a quantitative correlational design, data were collected from 35 tenth-grade students in one intact class at a vocational high school in Tangerang, selected through purposive sampling, using a grammar awareness test, a critical thinking test, and a narrative essay writing task, all validated through expert judgment and empirical testing. Data were analyzed using Pearson Product-Moment Correlation and Multiple Linear Regression. The results indicated significant positive correlations between grammar awareness and narrative writing ability (r = .649, p < .01) and between critical thinking skills and narrative writing ability (r = .687, p < .01). Grammar awareness and critical thinking skills jointly predicted narrative essay writing ability, explaining 54% of the variance (R² = .540, Adjusted R² = .511), with critical thinking emerging as the stronger predictor (β = .458) compared to grammar awareness (β = .347). Given the limited sample drawn from a single intact class, these findings should be interpreted as exploratory evidence rather than a broad generalization. Nonetheless, the results suggest that effective narrative writing draws on both linguistic competence and higher-order thinking skills. Accordingly, EFL writing instruction at the vocational level may benefit from integrating grammar instruction with activities that foster critical thinking.

Abstract

Character education is an important component of education because students need not only academic competence but also the ability to demonstrate positive values in their daily lives. This community service program addressed the need to strengthen students’ understanding and awareness of character values at MTsN 5 Cluring Banyuwangi. The program involved 25 students representing grades VII and VIII and the Student Intra-School Organization (OSIM). The intervention was implemented through a character education seminar using a contextual mentoring approach that connected character values with situations encountered by students in their daily lives. The activities consisted of an initial assessment (pretest), interactive seminar, contextual case discussion, question-and-answer session, reflection, and final assessment (posttest). The results showed an increase in the students’ mean scores from 67.80 in the pretest to 84.20 in the posttest, with a 16.40-point increase and a normalized gain of 0.509, categorized as moderate. Observations also indicated positive student enthusiasm and active participation during the activity. These findings indicate that contextual mentoring can serve as an effective initial strategy for strengthening students’ understanding and awareness of character values. Further programs should emphasize continuous habituation, exemplary behavior, and school-based character development to achieve sustainable behavioral change.

Abstract

The study aims to analyze students’ mathematics learning styles based on the clusters formed using the K-Means Clustering algorithm and to identify differences in mathematics learning outcomes in each cluster. This study employed a quantitative method with an exploratory approach. The data used were primary data obtained through learning style questionnaires and mathematics learning outcome tests administered to 129 tenth grade students. The number of cluster was determined as three clusters based on the theory of visual (cluster 3), auditory (cluster 2), and kinesthetic (cluster 1) learning styles. The analysis of mathematics learning outcomes revealed that the highest average score was found in cluster 3 (visual), while the lowest average score was found in cluster 2 (auditory). The findings indicate that the K-Means Clustering Algorithm can be used to identify students’ dominant learning styles, allowing students to recognize, understand, and develop awareness of their learning preferences, which may support more effective learning processes.

Abstract

Although artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly used in EFL speaking instruction, little is known about its role as a pre-speaking preparation tool for genre-based monologue tasks. This study investigates the effect of AI-assisted speaking preparation on the monologue speaking performance of 9th-grade students in the context of English as a Foreign Language (EFL). Employing a mixed methods design, this study integrated a pre-experimental one-group pre-test–post-test design with qualitative content analysis of student prompts used during AI-assisted preparation. A total of 20 students from a Madrasah Tsanawiyah in Bekasi participated as the single group. Quantitative data were collected through pre-test and post-test assessments of monologue speaking performance in an animal-themed report text task. Quantitative results indicated a statistically significant improvement in speaking scores (t = -9.790, df = 19, p < .001), with an overall mean N-Gain of 0.25, categorized as low. Qualitative analysis of the prompts of three students suggested that more specific and strategic prompts were associated with greater speaking improvement, although this pattern is illustrative and needs confirmation in larger samples. Because the study used a one-group design without a control group, the results indicate that speaking scores improved after AI-assisted preparation, not that AI alone caused the improvement. The findings suggest that how students interact with AI may matter as much as having access to it, and that explicit instruction in prompt formulation may be needed.

Abstract

This study analyzes the enhancement of students' mathematical reasoning abilities in a Basic Mathematics course through the implementation of context-based learning utilizing biological contexts. A pre-experimental method with a one-group pretest-posttest design was employed. The research was conducted during the odd semester of the 2025/2026 academic year within the Tadris Biology Study Program at UIN Syarif Hidayatullah Jakarta, involving a purposive sample of 94 students. Data were collected using both test and non-test instruments. The content validity of the four-item essay test was quantitatively verified using Aiken’s V index, indicating high validity, while instrument reliability was confirmed via Cronbach's Alpha (α = 0.82). Data analysis involved descriptive statistics, paired t-tests, Normalized Gain (N-gain) scores, and Cohen’s d effect size to evaluate the magnitude of improvement. The results demonstrated a statistically significant enhancement in students' mathematical reasoning across all indicators. The mean scores (on a scale of 1–4) for constructing justification increased from 2.6 to 3.3, drawing conclusions from 2.5 to 3.2, and mathematical manipulation from 2.8 to 3.4. Conversely, the capacity to verify argument validity showed a limited gain, rising from 2.4 to 2.7. The effect size analysis revealed a robust effect, confirming that biology-contextualized mathematics learning substantially develops procedural and constructive reasoning, whereas evaluative reasoning requires more targeted pedagogical interventions

Abstract

Writing performance in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) involves both linguistic resources and learners’ beliefs about their writing ability. This study examines the relationships among vocabulary knowledge, self-efficacy, and descriptive writing performance among Indonesian EFL learners. The study used a quantitative correlational design with 20 eleventh-grade students from an Islamic boarding school in Pandeglang, Banten, selected through purposive sampling. The study collected data through a vocabulary knowledge test, a self-efficacy questionnaire, and a descriptive writing task. Descriptive statistics and Spearman’s rank-order correlation were used for data analysis. Vocabulary knowledge was strongly and positively associated with writing performance (rho = .714, p < .001). In contrast, self-efficacy showed a very weak and non-significant association with writing performance (rho = .055, p = .816). Vocabulary knowledge and self-efficacy were also not significantly related (rho = .297, p = .204). The findings indicate that vocabulary knowledge was the strongest correlate of descriptive writing performance in this sample, while the relationship involving self-efficacy was not detectable. These non-significant findings should be interpreted with caution, as the sample was small and self-efficacy scores showed limited variation. The study suggests that EFL writing instruction should give sustained attention to vocabulary development while continuing to support students in developing realistic perceptions of their writing abilities.
