Abstract

Pengabdian kepada masyarakat ini bertujuan meningkatkan kompetensi guru Bahasa Inggris SMP dalam menyusun soal Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS). Kegiatan ini dilatarbelakangi oleh rendahnya kemampuan guru dalam merancang soal yang mengukur keterampilan berpikir tingkat tinggi, sementara tuntutan kurikulum mengharuskan evaluasi berbasis analisis, evaluasi, dan kreasi. Metode pelaksanaan menggunakan pendekatan workshop, pelatihan konseptual, dan pendampingan intensif yang dilaksanakan melalui tahapan analisis kebutuhan, pelatihan, praktik penyusunan soal, dan evaluasi. Keberhasilan kegiatan diukur melalui pre-test dan post-test, penilaian kualitas soal menggunakan rubrik HOTS, serta angket respon peserta. Hasil menunjukkan adanya peningkatan rata-rata skor pemahaman guru dari kategori cukup menjadi baik, serta 78% soal yang dihasilkan telah memenuhi kriteria level kognitif C4–C6. Selain peningkatan pengetahuan dan keterampilan, kegiatan ini juga mendorong perubahan sikap profesional guru dan terbentuknya kolaborasi dalam penyusunan soal. Dengan demikian, kegiatan pengabdian ini memberikan nilai tambah secara pedagogis dan institusional serta berpotensi mendukung peningkatan kualitas evaluasi pembelajaran secara berkelanjutan.

Abstract

This study explores the pedagogical practices and support systems surrounding English language teaching for students with special needs in Sekolah Luar Biasa (SLB), with a focus on two experienced teachers in Gorontalo City. Using a qualitative descriptive design, data were collected through semi-structured interviews, capturing insights from teachers instructing students with diverse disabilities, including visual, hearing, intellectual, physical, and developmental impairments. The findings indicate that teachers adapt lesson plans, design their own modules, and employ multimodal resources such as flashcards, posters, videos, and educational applications. Instruction is personalized based on initial assessments to align with each student's abilities. However, challenges persist, notably the lack of specialized training in English teaching for students with disabilities, inconsistent parental involvement, and limited collaboration with external educational stakeholders. While institutional support—such as policy provisions and instructional materials—is evident, external partnerships remain underdeveloped. The study underscores the need for systemic interventions, including targeted professional development, strengthened home-school collaboration, and inter-agency cooperation to ensure inclusive and effective English language education for learners with special needs.

Abstract

This study aims to describe the implementation of inclusive education at the elementary school level from a teacher’s perspective, especially English language instruction. The analysis focus on four key indicators: the availability of instructional materials, the preparedness of human resources, institutional support, and parental involvement. A descriptive qualitative approach was employed, using semi-structured interviews with a second-grade English language teacher at SD Laboratorium, Universitas Negeri Gorontalo, an inclusive elementary school located in Gorontalo, Indonesia. Findings reveal that while learning materials for students with special educational needs are available, they still require further adaptation and creativity on the part of the teacher. Regarding human resources, the teacher has received basic training in inclusive education but continues to face challenges, including the limited availability of special education support staff. Institutional support is evident through training programs and inclusive policies, although budget constraints remain a significant obstacle. Parental involvement is very active, contributing positively to the continuity of learning at home. This study emphasizes the importance of collaborative efforts among teachers, schools, government, and parents in constructing an effective inclusive education environment, particularly in the context of English language learning for students with special needs.

Abstract

The focus of this study is to figure out how ready English teachers are in West Popayato Subdistrict junior high schools to adopt the newly established curriculum. The method of data collection employed was interviews, with two English teachers from SMP Negeri 2 West Popayato and SMP Negeri 3 West Popayato Satap helping as participants. The interactive analysis phases of data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing from Miles & Huberman were applied in data analysis methodologies. The findings demonstrated that English teachers were not at the point where they were ready to adopt the accelerated curriculum in their schools. The instructors brought up three points. Firstly, parents' involvement is still below the level of collaborating in tandem with teachers as resource persons. Second, to allow students to learn based on their accomplishments, teachers do not separate their classes into at least two groups that are subsequently taught by the same teacher. Third, teachers continue to employ the Ministry of Education and Culture's flow of learning objectives. Because teachers are still getting used to the accelerated curriculum, these three points are still in the early stages of implementation. Thus, according to the study's findings and the stages of the accelerated curriculum's implementation table provided by the Ministry of Education and Culture, English teachers are not yet at the point where they are prepared to implement it.

Abstract

This study employs a quantitative method with a pre-experimental design, specifically the one-group pre-test and post-test. The sample of the study consists of IX.1 class students at SMP Muhammadiyah Tilango, selected due to their low vocabulary skills based on interviews with teachers and researchers. The research aims to analyze the effect of problem-based learning on improving students' vocabulary in narrative texts. Data were collected through vocabulary tests administered before and after the intervention. In addition, observations were conducted from the first to the fourth meeting to assess the effectiveness of the method. The results show a significant improvement in the vocabulary skills of the experimental class compared to the control class, which did not receive any treatment. Data analysis using the t-test reveals that the calculated t-value of 4.108 is greater than the t-table value of 2.119, leading to the acceptance of the alternative hypothesis (Ha) and the rejection of the null hypothesis (Ho). Thus, it can be concluded that problem-based learning effectively improves students' vocabulary skills. This study implies that the problem-based learning method can be implemented as an effective approach to enhance vocabulary learning in secondary schools.

The research was conducted using a pre-experimental method with a one-group pre-test and post-test design. The population of this research consisted of all seventh-grade students, and the sample was class VII-1, comprising 20 students selected through purposive sampling. In the implementation phase, students were engaged in various vocabulary-based riddles during English lessons. These riddles were designed to stimulate students’ interest, challenge their thinking, and enhance their word retention. The pre-test was administered to assess the students’ initial vocabulary level, followed by a series of learning sessions using the Riddles Technique, and concluded with a post-test.

Furthermore, statistical analysis revealed that the significance value was 0.000, which is less than the standard alpha level of 0.05. This confirms that the alternative hypothesis (H₁) is accepted, indicating a significant effect of the Riddles Technique on vocabulary enhancement. In conclusion, the Riddles Technique proves to be an effective and engaging method for improving students’ English vocabulary. It is recommended for English language teachers as an innovative strategy to increase students’ participation and vocabulary acquisition.

Abstract

This study investigates EFL students’ perceptions of the repeated reading strategy as a method for enhancing reading fluency. Conducted within the English Language Education Study Program at Universitas Negeri Gorontalo during the 2024/2025 academic year, this research adopts a descriptive quantitative approach. A total of 60 first-year students participated in the study through an online Likert-scale questionnaire comprising 30 items categorized into knowledge, perception (absorption, understanding, evaluation), and fluency (accuracy, speed, prosody) indicators. The findings reveal that students exhibit a predominantly positive to very positive perception of the repeated reading strategy. The highest mean scores were observed in prosody (86.33), followed by understanding (82.00), evaluation (82.34), and reading speed (81.89). Although accuracy scored slightly lower (74.44), it still fell within the positive range. These results affirm that students not only understand the purpose and benefits of repeated reading but also experience improvements in expression, comprehension, and confidence when reading aloud. This study supports the integration of repeated reading as an effective and well-perceived pedagogical tool in EFL contexts. It further emphasizes the need to consider students’ perceptions as an essential component in evaluating instructional strategies for reading fluency development.

Abstract

This study aims to describe the implementation of learning contracts at Muhammadiyah 1 Limboto Elementary School and their role in improving students’ learning discipline. This study employed a qualitative descriptive approach. The research subjects consisted of the principal, fourth-, fifth-, and sixth-grade homeroom teachers, as well as students from grades IV, V, and VI of Muhammadiyah 1 Limboto Elementary School. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation. The collected data were analyzed using data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing techniques. The findings revealed that learning contracts were developed collaboratively through agreements between teachers and students at the beginning of the learning process. The contracts contained classroom rules, rights and responsibilities, as well as consequences that had to be followed during learning activities. The implementation of learning contracts provided clear expectations regarding student behavior and helped students understand their responsibilities in the learning process. Furthermore, learning contracts contributed to the improvement of students’ learning discipline, as reflected in their compliance with classroom rules, punctuality in completing assignments, increased attention during lessons, and reduced disruptive behavior. Therefore, the implementation of learning contracts can serve as an effective strategy for fostering discipline, strengthening students’ character development, and creating an orderly and conducive learning environment in elementary schools.
