Abstract

Online learning is a basic need of education in the 21st century. The benefits of online learning are felt in the continuity of education during the Covid-19 pandemic. This study aims to examine the impact of online learning on the learning motivation of Junior High School students. The results of the research discussion indicate that online learning has advantages, namely 1) as a medium to encourage independent learning; 2) as an effort to modernize the concept of education in the 21st century; 3) increasing the intensity of the interaction between teachers and students; 3) allows for an interaction that is not limited to space and time, and 4) meaningful learning. The impact of online learning on student learning motivation tends to be negative due to the unpreparedness of various parties, including teachers, parents, students, and schools. Early adolescents who need direct guidance, direction, and motivation must lose control due to reduced direct interaction with the teacher. The monotonous implementation of online learning, lack of direction and supervision, pressure for students to study from home, and low teacher innovation are the main causes of decreased learning motivation due to online learning.

Abstract

Kegiatan Program Pengabdian kepada Msayarakat ini bertujuan untuk membantu guru dalam meningkatkan peran mereka sebagai manager kelas pada proses pembelajaran daring melalui refleksi pengajaran. Hal ini didasarkan pada temuan peneliti di lapangan yang menemukan berbagai masalah dan kendala yang dihadapi guru, khususnya guru mata pelajaran Pendidikan Bahasa Indonesia dan guru mata pelajaran Bahasa Inggris SMPIT Tamaddun, Tangerang Selatan. Masalah tersebut diantaranya adalah kekurang efektifan proses KBM dikarenakan minimnya interaksi antara guru dan peserta didik, ketidakatifan peserta didik selama proses belajar, serta berbagai gangguan teknis seperti keterbatasan perangkat maupun kuota internet. Oleh sebab itu, guru yang salah satunya memegang peranan sebagai manager kelas tidak dapat secara maksimal mengelola kelas agar dapat berjalan sebagaimana mestinya. Dengan melibatkan 1 orang guru Bahasa Indonesia dan 1 orang guru Bahasa Inggris, kegiatan PKM ini ditawarkan oleh peneliti dengan tujuan agar guru dapat berperan dengan lebih maksimal sehingga proses pengajaran dapat menjadi lebih efektif. Hal ini sangat penting dikarenakan pengajaran yang efektif akan sangat membantu peserta didik dalam mencapai hasil belajar yang baik. PKM ini merupakan penelitian kualitatif deskriptif dengan menggunakan wawancara, observasi, dan dokumentasi berupa jurnal refleksi guru dalam proses pengumpulan data. Hasil wawancara menunjukkan bahwa guru merasa sangat terbantu dengan kegiatan refleksi yang mereka lakukan setiap selesai kelas dimana pada pertemuan kelas berikut mereka dapat mempertahankan apa yang telah dianggap baik dan meningkatkan hal-hal yang masih dirasa kurang pada pertemuan kelas sebelumnya. Hal ini dibuktikan juga oleh hasil observasi yang peneliti lakukan dimana setelah melakukan refleksi, guru lebih berperan dalam mengelola kelas dan proses belajar mengajar menjadi lebih aktif dan efektif.

This research is motivated by the importance of instilling awareness of the importance of protecting the environment from an early age. Strengthening character in environmental care has a positive impact on the survival of the next generation. The behaviour of not caring about the destruction of nature as a result of human actions is very dangerous if it is passed on to the younger generation, so it is necessary to strengthen the character of environmental care from an early age.  This research aims to provide the right choice of literary ecological literacy material as an effort to strengthen the character of environmental care in students in elementary schools. Imaginary characters in literary works become real examples for student character development. Strengthening the character of environmental care based on moral values in folklore needs to be conveyed so that students will have character intelligence to care for their environment. This research uses descriptive qualitative methods and literature study of story narratives, character behaviour, and dialogue and monologue sequences that illustrate the value of character education. The subject of this research is the folktale The Great Kapok Tree Tree: A Tale of The Amazon Rain Forest by Lynne Cherry. The findings show that The Great Kapok Tree folktale represents the values of environmental care in realising character strengthening including: environmental care as a system and awareness in environmental development. Thus, the folklore of The Kapok Tree contains the values of environmental care character education so that it can be an alternative solution for reading material on meaningful literary literacy.

Abstract

This study investigated the impact of the AI virtual tutor DeepSeek on students’ writing proficiency among tenth-grade students of a Madrasah Aliyah in Pamulang, Indonesia, using a quantitative pre-test–post-test design with a sample of 31 students. Students completed five essay-based writing tasks measuring content, organization, vocabulary, language use, and mechanics. Their scores were analyzed using the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test to determine the significance of improvement after four weeks of DeepSeek-assisted practice. The results showed a statistically significant increase in overall writing performance, indicating that real-time feedback from DeepSeek supported students’ self-regulation, accuracy, and clarity in writing. The novelty of this study lies in examining DeepSeek an emerging AI tutor that has received very limited empirical investigation within an authentic classroom setting, offering new evidence of its pedagogical value compared to more commonly studied tools such as ChatGPT or Quillbot. The study concludes that DeepSeek is a valuable instructional aid and recommends its integration into English writing instruction to complement traditional teaching.

Abstract

ABSTRACT Inclusive education positions learner diversity as the main strength in the learning process, encompassing students with special needs as well as differences in learning styles, cognitive abilities, socio-emotional characteristics, and cultural backgrounds. In the practice of inclusive education, a commonly encountered problem is the suboptimal process of identifying learner diversity as the basis for instructional design; therefore, this study analyzes the utilization of the identification process in designing effective and equitable inclusive learning. This study employs a literature review method with a descriptive qualitative approach through stages of searching, selection, and content analysis of national and international scholarly articles published over the past ten years. The findings indicate that the success of inclusive education is influenced by educators’ ability to understand individual learner characteristics through continuous identification processes. The challenges faced include limitations of identification instruments, diverse teacher competencies, inadequate policy support, and limited parental involvement. To address these challenges, the implementation of instructional strategies such as differentiated instruction, Universal Design for Learning (UDL), and collaborative approaches is considered effective in accommodating learner diversity. The conclusion of this study emphasizes that the identification of learner diversity is a key element in realizing humanistic, equitable, and transformative education. ABSTRAK Pendidikan inklusif menempatkan keberagaman peserta didik sebagai kekuatan utama dalam proses pembelajaran yang mencakup peserta didik berkebutuhan khusus serta perbedaan gaya belajar, kemampuan kognitif, karakter sosial-emosional, dan latar belakang budaya. Dalam praktik pendidikan inklusif, permasalahan yang sering dijumpai adalah belum optimalnya proses identifikasi keberagaman peserta didik sebagai dasar perancangan pembelajaran; oleh karena itu, kajian ini menganalisis pemanfaatan proses identifikasi tersebut dalam merancang pembelajaran inklusif yang efektif dan berkeadilan. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode studi literatur dengan pendekatan kualitatif deskriptif melalui tahapan penelusuran, seleksi, dan analisis isi terhadap artikel ilmiah nasional dan internasional dalam sepuluh tahun terakhir. Hasil kajian menunjukkan bahwa keberhasilan pendidikan inklusif dipengaruhi oleh kemampuan pendidik dalam memahami karakteristik individual peserta didik melalui proses identifikasi yang berkelanjutan. Tantangan yang dihadapi meliputi keterbatasan instrumen identifikasi, kompetensi guru yang beragam, dukungan kebijakan yang belum optimal, serta keterlibatan orang tua yang terbatas. Untuk merespons tantangan tersebut, penerapan strategi pembelajaran seperti differentiated instruction, Universal Design for Learning (UDL), dan pendekatan kolaboratif dinilai efektif dalam mengakomodasi keberagaman peserta didik. Simpulan kajian ini menegaskan bahwa identifikasi keberagaman peserta didik merupakan elemen kunci dalam mewujudkan pendidikan yang humanis, adil, dan transformatif.

Abstract

This study investigates Indonesian learners’ attitudes toward using The Sims 4 to boost English vocabulary mastery, aiming to identify learners’ vocabulary learning challenges and examining how digital simulation games influence motivation and contextual vocabulary acquisition among English as a foreign language learners aged 18–25. The study employed a mixed-method explanatory sequential design, collecting quantitative data from 99 respondents through a Likert-scale questionnaire followed by semi-structured interviews with selected participants. Descriptive statistics and thematic analysis were used to analyze learners’ perceptions, experiences, and challenges related to vocabulary learning through gameplay. The findings reveal that learners generally perceive The Sims 4 as motivating, enjoyable, and effective in supporting contextual and daily-life vocabulary learning, particularly by providing meaningful exposure through simulated real-life activities. Therefore, while The Sims 4 enhances learners’ engagement, motivation, and incidental vocabulary acquisition, it should be used as a supplementary learning tool to boost students’ vocabulary mastery. It is recommended that educators combine digital games with traditional vocabulary teaching strategies to maximize meaningful learning activities.
