Abstract

Despite all developments in educational practices, many English as a Foreign Language (EFL) students continue to face difficulties in acquiring vocabulary. In such contexts where instruction is characterized by traditional teaching approaches and low levels of student involvement, the use of gamified learning seems to be one possible way out. Gamified learning is learning that includes features typical of video games, i.e., engagement, interactivity, and motivation. It can be implemented in various ways, e.g., by means of Wordwall. The present study examined the influence of Wordwall-based gamified learning on EFL students' vocabulary acquisition. A quasi-experimental study using a non-equivalent pretest-posttest control group design was conducted with 72 eighth-graders from SMP Negeri 1 Pinggir, Indonesia. For the experimental group, the vocabulary instructions were delivered using activities based on Wordwall, whereas the control group received their vocabulary instruction using traditional methods. Vocabulary tests were utilized to collect the data for analysis using descriptive statistics and t-tests such as paired-samples and independent-samples. It was observed that there was a statistically significant improvement in the vocabulary performance of the students when vocabulary instruction was provided through Wordwall. The mean scores of the experimental group in the pretest and posttest were 63.94 and 80.33, respectively, while those of the control group were 56.64 and 71.61. An independent-samples t-test demonstrated a statistically significant difference between the groups (p < .001).

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effect of library service quality on students’ intention to visit the library at the Faculty of Islamic Studies, Universitas Islam Indragiri, and to identify other factors influencing their intention. The study employed a quantitative approach using a survey method. The population consisted of 411 active students from the 2022–2024 cohorts, while 204 respondents were selected using the Yamane formula through random sampling. Data were collected through observation, Likert-scale questionnaires, and documentation. Data analysis involved descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation, simple linear regression, the t-test, and the coefficient of determination (R²). The findings showed that library service quality was categorized as very good, with a score of 89.16%, while students’ library visit intention was also categorized as very good, reaching 91.83%. Hypothesis testing indicated that library service quality had a positive and significant effect on students’ library visit intention, with a regression coefficient of 0.857, a t-value of 39.412 > 1.972, and a significance value of 0.000 < 0.05. The R² value of 0.885 indicated that service quality explained 88.5% of the variance in students’ visit intention, while the remaining 11.5% was influenced by other factors, particularly the desire to expand knowledge and the need for academic information references.
