Abstract

This study explores the implementation of the Know-Want-Learn (K-W-L) strategy to enhance reading comprehension among eleventh-grade students at SMA Negeri 2 Kota Kupang during the 2023/2024 academic year. Employing a Classroom Action Research (CAR) methodology, the research aims to determine the extent to which the K-W-L approach improves students' reading comprehension abilities. The study was conducted in two cycles, each involving planning, action, observation, and reflection phases. Data were collected through pre-tests and post-tests, observation checklists, and student interviews. Findings indicate a significant improvement in students' reading comprehension, as evidenced by increased test scores and positive feedback during interviews. The K-W-L strategy not only engaged students by sparking their curiosity but also guided them through a structured learning process that enhanced their understanding and retention of reading materials. These results suggest that the K-W-L strategy is an effective pedagogical tool for improving reading comprehension in high school students.

Abstract

Budaya Dawan berfungsi sebagai penanda identitas dan simbol pembeda bagi kelompok etnis Dawan. Hal ini menonjolkan rasa memiliki masyarakat sekaligus membedakannya dari kelompok etnis lain. Perwujudan utama dari budaya ini terlihat dalam praktik perkawinan tradisional mereka, yang mencerminkan struktur sosial dan nilai-nilai masyarakat Dawan. Penelitian ini berfokus pada dua bentuk utama perkawinan tradisional: perkawinan endogami, khususnya perkawinan lintas sepupu dan perkawinan antar marga. Perkawinan silang sepupu, bertujuan untuk memelihara ikatan keluarga dan memastikan warisan tetap berada dalam keluarga, berupaya memulihkan hubungan yang sebelumnya terputus oleh perkawinan sebelumnya. Sebaliknya, perkawinan antar suku, yang banyak dilakukan di kalangan Dawan, menumbuhkan jaringan kekerabatan yang lebih luas dalam satu suku. Perbedaan kedua bentuk ini terletak pada proses dan mekanismenya masing-masing. Struktur perkawinan adat Dawan yang dikenal dengan nama tamam nasako atau tamam man toet bi fe mencerminkan keunikan budaya masyarakatnya. Proses perkawinan secara sistematis dibagi menjadi tiga bagian yang saling berhubungan: lamaran (perkenalan), hantaran (bagian inti), dan tahap akhir pergantian marga. Unsur-unsur tersebut tidak hanya berfungsi sebagai validasi budaya warisan Dawan, namun juga sebagai mekanisme memperkokoh ikatan sosial dan melestarikan adat istiadat leluhur. Perkawinan adat Dawan mempunyai makna yang beragam melalui simbol-simbol verbal dan nonverbal, meliputi aspek agama, sosiologis, ekonomi, politik, sejarah, dan hukum. Selain itu, mereka mewujudkan nilai-nilai inti seperti ketuhanan, kemanusiaan, persatuan, konsensus, dan keadilan. Secara keseluruhan, perkawinan adat dalam masyarakat Dawan berperan penting dalam menjaga struktur sosial, membina hubungan, dan melestarikan norma dan nilai budaya.

Abstract

This study aims to formulate learning Best Practices based on the ecological traditions and local culture of the Lambitu community by integrating the values of Tri Hita Karana (THK). Employing a qualitative descriptive approach, data were collected through participatory observation, in-depth interviews with cultural leaders, local artisans, and educators, as well as documentation of cultural artifacts and ecological practices. The findings reveal a strong alignment between Lambitu’s cultural traditions and the three dimensions of THK—Parahyangan, Pawongan, and Palemahan—providing a pedagogical foundation for contextual and character-based learning. Five Best Practices were identified: Uma Lengge–based Eco–Ethno Learning, the “Adopt a Sacred Spring” conservation program, the Tembe Nggoli Character Project, the Eco–Craft Pandan Project, and the Mbolo Weki Education Forum. The study concludes that learning rooted in local culture supports holistic education that reflects harmonious relationships between humans, nature, and spirituality as conceptualized in THK values.

Abstract

This community service activity aims to improve English language skills and instill biblical values in children and adolescents at the Imanuel Oepura Congregation in Kupang City through the integration of digital comics based on folklore. This initiative was motivated by the urgency of mastering English in the era of globalization and efforts to preserve local wisdom. The implementation method involved 49 participants, where students delivered Sunday school material using digital comics that combined folklore with biblical values, followed by a quiz to evaluate understanding. The results of the activity showed a significant increase in children's engagement and understanding of the values conveyed. The developed digital comics have undergone expert validation tests (media, language, materials) with excellent percentages (e.g., 95.13% and 98.26% of trials, 100% by media experts, and 94% by language experts), confirming their quality and suitability as effective and engaging learning media. Positive responses from participants also indicate that digital comics have successfully increased reading interest and learning motivation. It was concluded that the integration of folklore-based digital comics is an effective method to increase engagement and understanding of the material, although the success of its implementation depends on the availability of supporting infrastructure. This activity is expected to be a reference for similar programs in the future in developing innovative and relevant educational media
