Abstract

Currently, the gap between the theory taught in lectures and the practical needs in Indonesian language internationalization projects hinders students' mastery of competencies in studying the Indonesian Language Development course. There is a pressing need to update the Indonesian Language Development curriculum to emphasize practical application, such as language development projects and the use of Indonesian in international contexts. Active student involvement through participatory and collaborative approaches is key to preparing students for the challenges of Indonesian language development in the era of globalization. This study aims to evaluate the Indonesian Language Development course, focusing on the internationalization of the language, and is based on participatory and collaborative learning. The method employed is the Goal-Oriented Evaluation Model, which involves identifying specific needs by analyzing issues in the Indonesian Language Development course. It identifies the objectives of the internationalization program based on clear indicators and proposes actions to improve teaching and learning. Data collection methods include classroom observations, student performance surveys, and interviews, along with a literature review to support an understanding of suitable participatory and collaborative learning methods The findings show that teaching methods incorporating technology, field practice, and interactive activities create positive and meaningful learning experiences. The evaluation, including student participation and collaboration, has yielded favorable results, with most respondents reporting that this learning is enjoyable, beneficial, and memorable. In conclusion, the study concludes that the learning approaches at University A and University B are appropriate and effective.

Abstract

This study is intended to describe the learning innovations that teachers make during and after the emergency remote teaching in Indonesia. Distance learning that was suddenly implemented due to the Covid-19 pandemic had a broad impact on all aspects of education. It is qualitative research with steps of collecting data through observation and interviews, whether structured or unstructured, documentation, and visual materials. The data were analyzed using grounded theory.  The results showed that there were innovations in methods, development of teaching materials, and teachers-parents communication. Before the pandemic, communication between teachers and parents was mostly done only once a semester, but now teachers communicate with parents more often. Learning methods also vary by integrating various media. Media is no longer just using whiteboards or projectors, but more variations of media are used by teachers. Teaching materials are no longer only from one learning source but are obtained from more varied learning sources.

Abstract

In an ideal educational setting, students actively engage with content, apply critical thinking to solve real-world problems, and consistently demonstrate improved learning outcomes. However, many educational environments lack integrated strategies that connect theoretical knowledge with practical applications, leading to passive learning and underdeveloped critical thinking skills. This study addresses these gaps by developing and implementing a novel framework—Problem-Based Learning, Teaching Modules, and Formative Assessments (PLTMFA)—designed to enhance learning outcomes and critical thinking skills, particularly in the context of Magnitudes, Units, and Measurements. Grounded in instructional design principles, the PLTMFA approach emphasizes active learning and continuous, meaningful assessments to ensure student engagement and cognitive development. Given the increasing demand for critical thinking and problem-solving skills, there is an urgent need to explore and validate such innovative teaching methods. The study’s primary objectives are to develop the PLTMFA framework, apply it in a classroom setting, and evaluate its effectiveness. Data collected through comprehension tests, questionnaires, and observations were analyzed to assess the impact on student performance. Findings indicate that PLTMFA significantly improves both learning outcomes and critical thinking skills, demonstrating its potential as an effective solution to current educational challenges.

Abstract

Vocabulary and psychomotor abilities are two important things in learning English especially for elementary school students. In mastering these two competencies we need a learning strategy that is not only able to explain but also to describe and illustrate. Snowball throwing is a learning method that uses a paper which contains a word that is shaped like a ball. This method is usually used in learning English. This research tries to find out the influence of the snowball throwing method towards students’ vocabulary mastery and psychomotor ability in learning English in the first grade of SD Islam Terpadu Sorong City. The research is quasi-experimental by using randomized pre-post control group design. The subject of this research consists of two groups; experiment and control groups have 27 students in each. There are two instruments in this research; they are the test for English vocabulary and psychomotor ability. The data are examined by using a non-parametric tests such as Mann Whitney U dan Wilcoxon signed ranks. Related to the result of the hypothesis test towards the two paired samples, we can find that the score of English vocabulary mastery (p= 0,000) and psychomotor ability (p=0,016) are significant, where the significance score of experiment group is lower than the critical limit of the research 0,05. So, we can conclude that the snowball throwing method influences significantly towards students’ vocabulary mastery and psychomotor ability at the first grade of SD Islam Terpadu Sorong City. This research shows that snowball throwing method can be used to improve students’ vocabulary mastery and psychomotoric ability in English subject.

Abstract

This study explores the development of Artificial Intelligence (AI)-enhanced teaching materials for improving university students' writing skills at Universitas Muhammadiyah Surakarta (UMS). In response to the ongoing digital transformation in higher education, AI-based tools such as Grammarly, ChatGPT, and Write & Improve have been increasingly utilized in writing instruction. The study employs a qualitative descriptive design and gathers data through classroom observations, semi-structured interviews with three English lecturers, and reflective journals from twenty students in the English Education Department. The findings reveal that AI tools significantly enhance students' engagement, critical thinking, and awareness of writing mechanics. However, several challenges remain, including over-reliance on AI, gaps in digital literacy, and insufficient teacher training. The study proposes a localized model for AI-integrated material development grounded in Tomlinson's (2011) materials development framework and the TPACK model (Mishra & Koehler, 2006). It concludes that thoughtful integration of AI can enrich the process writing approach and promote learner autonomy when pedagogical principles remain central to instructional design.

Abstract

This qualitative study explores how elementary English teachers negotiate their understanding and practice of reading pedagogy in an era where artificial intelligence tools can instantaneously summarize, analyze, and interpret complex texts. Drawing on reader-response theory and postmodern pedagogical frameworks, this research examines the tensions between traditional notions of "deep reading" and AI-mediated comprehension practices. Through semi-structured interviews with twelve English teachers from diverse school contexts, this study investigates how educators conceptualize authentic comprehension, critical literacy, and the role of intellectual struggle in reading development when students have access to AI assistance. The findings reveal significant concerns about the erosion of effortful reading practices, the shift from personal interpretation to AI verification, and the complex negotiation between accessibility and intellectual growth. Using the pedagogical narrative of Freedom Writers (2007) as a conceptual anchor, this study argues that while AI tools may democratize access to difficult texts, they simultaneously threaten the transformative, meaning-making processes that have long been central to reading education. This research contributes to ongoing debates about literacy education in digital contexts and offers implications for reimagining reading pedagogy that acknowledges both the affordances and limitations of AI technologies. This study particularly focuses on elementary school teachers in Surakarta, Indonesia, as they navigate how to integrate AI technology in early reading instruction while maintaining authentic comprehension and character-based literacy learning.
