Abstract

Vocabulary mastery is essential for developing English language proficiency because it supports reading comprehension and other language skills. However, junior high school students frequently encounter difficulties in understanding unfamiliar vocabulary during reading activities. This study aimed to explore the vocabulary learning strategies employed by eighth-grade students while reading English texts at SMPN 4 Koto Baru. A descriptive qualitative design was adopted involving eleven eighth-grade students and one English teacher selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected through classroom observations and semi-structured interviews and analyzed using Creswell’s qualitative data analysis procedures, including data organization, reduction, presentation, and conclusion drawing. The trustworthiness of the findings was ensured through source and technique triangulation. The findings revealed three main vocabulary learning strategies: (1) asking teachers and classmates for explanations, (2) guessing word meanings from contextual clues, and (3) using dictionaries to verify unfamiliar vocabulary. Asking teachers and classmates emerged as the dominant strategy because students perceived it as the fastest, easiest, and most reliable way to understand unfamiliar words. These findings indicate that students primarily rely on social interaction while gradually developing independent vocabulary learning through contextual guessing and dictionary use. The study recommends that English teachers foster greater learner autonomy by encouraging contextual inference and effective dictionary use alongside collaborative classroom learning.

Abstract

Based on the author's observations at SDN 15 Koto Baru, especially in class 1, the author found several factors causing students' lack of focus in learning, assumed by several factors in learning, less varied learning media, lack of interest, so that students' learning motivation to participate in the learning process is still low. and paying less attention to the material being conveyed so that students do not really understand what is being conveyed so that students do not really understand what is being conveyed by the teacher. This happens because the learning tools and media used are less attractive, only using media such as blackboards and textbooks. The aim of researchers developing flash card media is to create a learning tool that can increase student motivation through the use of visuals and interactives, facilitate understanding of complex concepts in a way that is easy to understand, and stimulate student interest and motivation in studying subject matter through a fun and interesting learning experience. It can be seen that the students' learning outcomes have reached KKM 70, namely, students' learning outcomes with an average of 80% are categorized as very effective. Meanwhile, students' incomplete learning outcomes with an average of 20% are categorized as ineffective. So that flash card learning media can be applied in the learning process. The results of the analysis included 8 students who completed and 2 who did not complete, with a total of 10 students, the number of students who completed was 8 divided by the number of 2 students multiplied by 100, the result is 80%. In the KBBI, effectiveness is defined as usability, activeness, as well as suitability and the goals to be achieved. Based on the analysis above, it can be concluded that flash card learning media is effective, meaning it can help students improve learning outcomes

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the use of the Quizizz application as a learning evaluation tool in the Pancasila Education subject for fifth-grade students at SDN 09 Sitiung. The background of this research is the need for learning innovations that align with the Merdeka Curriculum, which allows teachers the flexibility to choose evaluation tools that suit the needs and characteristics of their students. One such innovation is the use of digital-based educational applications like Quizizz. This research employs a qualitative method with a case study approach and data collection through interviews. The research subjects include the fifth-grade homeroom teacher and all fifth-grade students at SDN 09 Sitiung. The results show that the use of Quizizz is effective as a learning evaluation tool. Quizizz not only assists teachers in preparing and distributing test questions but also provides students with an enjoyable learning experience through its interactive features and real-time feedback. The application also enhances students’ learning motivation and outcomes, as reflected in their enthusiasm during its use and improved evaluation scores.

Abstract

This study aims to describe the inhibiting factors in the implementation of differentiated learning at SD Negeri 02 Tiumang. In the Independent Curriculum, there is a differentiated learning approach which provides freedom for teachers to adjust learning to the needs of students. However, in its implementation, there are quite a few obstacles that arise in the field. The method used in this study is descriptive qualitative with data collection techniques through observation, interviews, and documentation. Data analysis techniques use data reduction techniques, data presentation and drawing conclusions. The validity of the data is tested by triangulation techniques and using reference materials. Based on the results of the study, the researcher can conclude that there are several inhibiting factors in the implementation of differentiated learning, including: lack of teacher understanding of the independent curriculum itself, both in terms of structure and planning of learning devices, difficulties in implementing differentiated learning in the learning process, obstacles in implementing differentiated learning, limited facilities and infrastructure, stuttering in using technology, lack of supporting media in the learning process in the classroom, time constraints, and difficulty in finding creative idea references. These findings indicate that the implementation of differentiated learning still faces obstacles that require attention and strategic solutions so that differentiated learning can be achieved optimally.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the internal and external factors causing the low speaking ability of tenth-grade students at SMAN 5 Sumatera Barat, whores scores fell below the Minimum Mastery Criterion (KKM) of 75. This research employed a qualitative descriptive design to investigate the phenomenon deeply. Data were collected through non-participant classroom observations, open-ended questionnaires and semi-structured interviews with one English teacher and three selected students. The data were analyzed using Braun & Clarke’s thematic analysis framework systematically. The findings identified 36 conceptual codes revealing that students face linguistic deficits, namely limited vocabulary and pronunciation difficulties, which trigger psychological distress including high speaking anxiety, low self-confidence and low learning motivation. Meanwhile, the external factors showed that these individual barriers are worsened by monotonous teaching strategies, an unsupportive classroom environment dominated by a toxic roasting culture among peers, limited practice opportunities, intrusive teacher feedback and inadequate learning facilities. In conclusion, the complex interaction between these linguistic-affective barriers and a restrictive classroom ecosystem forces students to execute defensive behaviors, such as speaking in whispers, reverting to local dialects or resorting to absolute silence, which ultimately paralyzes their English communicative competence.

The aim of this research is to look at the development of interactive learning media using the Canva application for mathematics subjects for fourth grade elementary school students. This type of research is research and development (R&D) research using the ADDIE Model development model. Based on the validation results in terms of content, a score of 87.45% (very valid), language validation was 89.58% (very valid), and in the graphic aspect it was 90% (very valid). The level of practicality of interactive learning media by teachers reached an average value of 96.25% (very practical), and the level of practicality of interactive learning media by students reached an average value of 95.52% (very practical). The effectiveness value of interactive learning media with an average of 88.88% was obtained from the results of learning tests by students. Thus, it can be concluded that interactive learning media using the Canva application for mathematics subjects for fourth grade elementary school students can be declared valid, practical and effective.
