Abstract

This research examines the metaphorical use of "Magrib"—a term associated with Islamic prayer time—to describe dark skin in Indonesian culture, exploring its psychological, social, and institutional impacts. Grounded in conceptual metaphor theory (Lakoff & Johnson, 1980) and stigma frameworks (Goffman, 1963), the research employed qualitative methods, including semi-structured interviews and thematic analysis, with 30 dark-skinned university students in North Sumatra. Findings revealed that 36.67% of participants faced discrimination linked to the term, while 30% reported internalized stigma, undermining self-esteem. However, 20% reframed "Magrib" as a symbol of empowerment, demonstrating resilience. Critically, 13.33% highlighted institutional failures to address such bias, underscoring the need for policy reforms. The study situates "Magrib" within global colorism discourses (Hall, 2020) but emphasizes its unique cultural resonance in Indonesia, advocating for educational interventions, diversity training, and inclusive media representation. This research contributes to broader efforts to combat language-based stigma and promote inclusivity in multicultural societies by linking linguistic analysis to systemic inequities.

Abstract

This study investigates the perspectives of teacher educators at SMP Putri Cahaya Medan regarding the integration of evidence-based teaching (EBT) into their classroom practices. Amid growing emphasis on utilizing research to enhance education, the gap between educational theory and practical implementation remains a critical concern. Using a mixed-methods approach, including interviews, surveys, and classroom observations, this research explores teacher educators’ attitudes, challenges, and strategies related to EBT. Findings indicate that while educators generally value research-informed practices, they face significant barriers such as time constraints, limited access to research, and conflicts between personal teaching philosophies and empirical findings. However, factors such as institutional support, collaborative learning environments, and contextual adaptation of research findings were identified as key enablers. The study concludes that systemic support and professional development are essential to empower teacher educators in effectively translating research evidence into meaningful teaching practices, thereby bridging the gap between research and classroom application.

Abstract

This study aimed at analyzing the process of classroom interaction between a teacher and students at SMP Negeri 7 Medan from the perspectives of discourse analysis. It focused on how these interactions influence student engagement and learning outcomes. Using a qualitative approach, a 10-minute video recording was observed to identify key verbal and non-verbal communication patterns within the classroom. The interactions were categorized based on teacher-initiated questions, feedback, disciplinary actions, and student-initiated responses. The findings reveal that openended questions and positive reinforcement by the teacher significantly increased student participation. Conversely, disciplinary actions, though minimal, temporarily reduced engagement but improved classroom behavior. The study concludes that teacher-student communication plays a vital role in creating a productive learning environment and recommends further integration of collaborative learning strategies to enhance student involvement. This research contributes to the existing body of literature on classroom management and effective communication in Indonesian public schools.

Abstract

The validity and reliability of the test is very important before the test is used to measure student achievement. This study aims to analyze the validity and reliability of the summative English test for fifth grade public elementary schools 058238 Bukit Rata in the academic year 2019/2020, and to investigate the quality level of the summative test of English in elementary schools. This research is a quantitative descriptive study. The subjects in this study were students of grade V public elementary school 058238 Bukit Rata in the academic year 2019/2020. The data analysis technique used is quantitative analysis by testing the validity, reliability, level of difficulty, distinguishing power, and tricking effectiveness. The data obtained were analyzed using the ANATES version 4 program and manual calculations using Microsoft Excel. The results showed that, the level of validity of the English test in grade 5 elementary school before the revision based on material aspects, construct aspects and language aspects obtained a percentage of 73% with a good category. After being revised, based on material aspects, construct aspects and language aspects obtained a percentage of 90% with a good category. The reliability test was carried out twice, namely the questions before expert validation and after expert validation. The results of the reliability test on the first question were the value of -0.084 in the unreliable category because the value was ≤ 0.700. Furthermore, the second test of English test reliability was carried out. The results of the second test reliability test, namely the KR 20 formula with the help of the Excel program obtained a value of 0.413 in the sufficient category. The level of validity and reliability of the English test in grade 5 elementary schools. Before the revision, the number of valid questions was 4 valid questions or 16% of the total questions. Furthermore, the number of questions that can be accepted is 17 questions, but 13 questions are not valid. So it is necessary to improve the overall problem. After the revision was made, the number of valid questions was 16 valid questions or 64% of the total questions. Furthermore, the number of questions that can be used is 15 questions, because one significant question has a low difference power, so the question is not used. The validity and reliability of the English test in fifth grade public elementary school 058238 Bukit Rata should be revised becausereliability is used as an indicator in believing the value of a test because it has consistency. While the test must be valid because it is used as a development and evaluation of a test. In addition, validity is also needed to determine the feasibility of items.

Abstract

Program Kemitraan Masyarakat ini bertujuan meningkatkan kompetensi guru dalam menerapkan Practical English for Young Learners Based on Local Wisdom (PAsEYL BLoW) pada pembelajaran Bahasa Inggris di sekolah dasar. Pendekatan ini menekankan penggunaan permainan, lagu, gerak, serta kosakata yang dekat dengan kehidupan dan budaya lokal anak, sehingga pembelajaran menjadi lebih menyenangkan, kontekstual, dan mudah dipahami. Kegiatan pendampingan difokuskan pada pelatihan perancangan dan implementasi pembelajaran berbasis PAIKEM GEMBROT untuk mendorong kreativitas dan inovasi guru dalam memasukkan unsur kearifan lokal pada setiap aktivitas belajar. Melalui program ini, siswa juga diharapkan mengalami peningkatan kemampuan Bahasa Inggris sesuai kompetensi dasar pada jenjang sekolah dasar. Penerapan PAsEYL BLoW sekaligus mendukung pencapaian beberapa Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), khususnya SDG 4, SDG 11, SDG 16, dan SDG 17, melalui pelestarian nilai budaya serta peningkatan kualitas pembelajaran secara berkelanjutan. Dengan demikian, program ini tidak hanya memperbaiki proses pembelajaran, tetapi juga memberikan kontribusi terhadap penguatan karakter dan pelestarian kearifan lokal di lingkungan sekolah dasar.
