Abstract

The integration of technology into educational practices has gained increasing attention, particularly in the realm of language learning. Podcasts, as a versatile and accessible digital tool, have emerged as a promising medium for enhancing various language skills. Employing experimental research, this investigation aims to determine whether the use of podcasts can significantly enhance students' listening abilities compared to traditional methods among eleventh-grade students at SMAN 3 Siak Hulu. Sample of 52 students was selected, divided into an experimental group (n=26) and a control group (n=26). The experimental group received treatment through audio podcasts, while the control group did not. Data were collected through pre-tests and post-tests, with essay-based assessments administered to evaluate listening comprehension. The experimental group's mean scores increased from 54.77 (pre-test) to 66.15 (post-test), while the control group's scores decreased from 64.12 (pre-test) to 53.85 (post-test). Statistical analysis using an independent sample t-test in SPSS 26 revealed a significant difference between the groups, with a t-test value of 2.741 (p = 0.008) surpassing the t-table value of 2.008. These results indicate a significant improvement in the listening comprehension of students exposed to podcasts, supporting the effectiveness of this technology in enhancing language learning outcomes. In brief, the study provides compelling evidence that incorporating podcasts into the educational curriculum significantly improves listening comprehension among students, thereby highlighting the potential of this technology to enhance language learning outcomes effectively.

Abstract

Digital learning has emerged as a transformative tool in education, offering a pathway to more inclusive and affordable learning opportunities for all students, regardless of their geographical location, socio-economic status, or background. This article explores how digital learning can address persistent challenges in traditional educational systems, such as limited access to quality education, high costs, and unequal distribution of resources. By leveraging technologies like e-learning platforms, mobile apps, and virtual classrooms, digital learning has the potential to bridge the education gap and provide flexible learning opportunities tailored to individual needs. The study reviews the benefits of digital learning, including increased accessibility, personalized learning experiences, and the democratization of education. However, the article also discusses the challenges of digital learning, such as the digital divide, lack of technological infrastructure, and the need for teacher training. Drawing on existing research and case studies, this paper examines the role of digital learning in promoting educational equity and affordability. It concludes by highlighting the importance of policy intervention and investment in technology to ensure that digital learning becomes a sustainable and effective solution for education in the 21st century.

Abstract

In spite of its emergence in 1980s, digital media has been well known to this day, yet it is still questioned whether its presence is merely a "disturbance" or a "diversion" after contradictory impacts of digital media usage have been found based on several conducted studies. Answering the question, library research was carried out by using some sources and references in getting and analyzing the data. Then, the writers integrated their ideas by synthesizing in drawing conclusion. Delving into the essence of four learning theories (behaviorism, cognitivism, constructivism, and connectivism) and their integration with technology, particular media use and their functions are recognized through a systematic procedure in certain digital learning approach as one alternative for teachers in selecting and utilizing digital media in learning process. It was found that, firstly, the comprehension basic learning philosophy serves as fundamental reasons for teachers in utilizing technology. Secondly, the learning theories play as the base for teachers to develop their teaching approaches by maximizing their digital competence through digital technology use for improving their digital literacy. Lastly, the ownership of knowledge and skill for instructional digital media use develops teachers’ digital competence by recognizing students’ need in learning. In a nutshell, the choice for digital media utilization has to be supported by understanding the intensive relation between teachers and their learners’ roles and the instructional strategies in integrating media and technology used which will awaken not only teachers’ digital literacy, but especially their digital competence as well, as displayed through their ability to be intricately connected to digital media use. Therefore, the comprehensive understanding of learning theories approach of teachers and their ways in utilizing media-based technology determines the function of the media itself whether it is distraction or diversion during teaching and learning process.
