Abstract

This study aims to analyze the potential and challenges of ethnoscience-based chemistry learning in Madrasah Aliyah. The approach used is a quantitative survey type with participants being Madrasah Aliyah chemistry teachers in Surakarta Residency who were taken randomly. The method used is descriptive-quantitative. The data collection tool used is a questionnaire containing statements related to chemistry learning and the ethnoscience approach. Based on the data analysis carried out, both survey results and interviews, that although there is high enthusiasm from chemistry teachers, namely 92.3%, to implement ethnoscience-based learning, their knowledge of ethnoscience is still limited. As many as 50% of teachers admitted to having difficulty integrating ethnoscience with chemistry material, and 57.7% of teachers had never implemented it. The main obstacles in the implementation of ethnoscience include lack of teacher understanding and limited supporting infrastructure. Nevertheless, the ethnoscience approach offers great potential to improve scientific literacy, understanding of local culture, and student learning outcomes. Policy and infrastructure support in madrasahs, including Madrasah Aliyah Negeri Wonogiri, is ready to facilitate further development of ethnoscience-based learning. With increased training and resources, ethnoscience can be effectively integrated to enhance student engagement and understanding in chemistry learning

Abstract

This study examines Warak Ngendog as a hybrid cultural symbol that reflects the negotiation of urban multicultural identity in Semarang, Indonesia. In the context of globalization and rapid urban transformation, local cultural traditions are increasingly challenged to maintain their relevance while simultaneously adapting to new social, economic, and digital environments. This research aims to analyze how Warak Ngendog embodies cultural hybridity, how it is interpreted by the community, and how it contributes to the construction of social cohesion in a multicultural urban society. A qualitative ethnographic approach was employed, involving participant observation during the Dugderan Festival, semi-structured interviews with cultural practitioners and community members, document analysis, and digital ethnography of social media representations. The data were analyzed using thematic analysis informed by cultural hybridity theory, symbolic interactionism, and urban identity studies. The findings reveal that Warak Ngendog represents a symbolic integration of Javanese, Chinese, and Arab cultural elements, functioning as a medium for expressing tolerance and intercultural harmony. The tradition has undergone transformation from a religious-cultural ritual into an urban cultural icon embedded in tourism, digital media, and commercial practices. While this transformation enhances cultural visibility and economic value, it also raises concerns regarding cultural commodification and the potential dilution of its philosophical meanings. Nevertheless, Warak Ngendog continues to play a significant role in strengthening Semarang’s urban multicultural identity and fostering collective belonging among diverse communities. This study contributes to broader discussions on cultural hybridity, urban identity, and multiculturalism by demonstrating how local cultural symbols operate as mechanisms of social integration in contemporary urban societies. It also highlights the importance of balancing cultural preservation with modernization in sustaining intangible cultural heritage.

Abstract

English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learning continues to face challenges in enhancing student engagement and developing critical thinking skills required in the 21st century. This study investigates the effect of Inquiry-Based Learning (IBL) on students’ engagement and critical thinking skills in an English as a Foreign Language (EFL) classroom. Employing a quasi-experimental design with a non-equivalent control group, the research involved 56 undergraduate students (in Universitas PGRI Semarang) divided into a control group (n = 28) and an experimental group (n = 28). The experimental group received instruction through the Inquiry-Based Learning approach for one semester, while the control group was taught using conventional teacher-centered methods. Data were collected using a Student Engagement Questionnaire measuring behavioral, emotional, and cognitive engagement, as well as a Critical Thinking Test to assess students’ higher-order thinking skills. Both groups completed pre-tests and post-tests to examine changes before and after the intervention. The data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics to determine significant differences between groups. The findings indicate that students exposed to Inquiry-Based Learning demonstrated higher levels of engagement and significantly improved critical thinking skills compared to those in the control group. These results suggest that IBL is an effective pedagogical approach for fostering active learning and higher-order thinking in EFL contexts. ABSTRAK Pembelajaran bahasa Inggris sebagai bahasa asing (EFL) masih menghadapi tantangan dalam meningkatkan keterlibatan mahasiswa dan mengembangkan keterampilan berpikir kritis yang diperlukan pada abad ke-21. Penelitian ini menyelidiki pengaruh Inquiry-Based Learning (IBL) terhadap keterlibatan siswa dan keterampilan berpikir kritis dalam kelas English as a Foreign Language (EFL). Dengan menggunakan desain kuasi-eksperimen dengan kelompok kontrol non-ekuivalen, penelitian ini melibatkan 56 mahasiswa (di Universitas PGRI Semarang) yang dibagi menjadi kelompok kontrol (n = 28) dan kelompok eksperimen (n = 28).

Abstract

This study examines the effectiveness of Quizizz, a gamified learning platform, in improving vocabulary proficiency among seventh-grade students at SMPN 14 Semarang. A quantitative experimental design was employed with 64 students, who were allocated into an experimental group instructed via Quizizz and a control group instructed using conventional techniques. Data were gathered by pre-test and post-test vocabulary evaluations, supplemented with a student questionnaire. The validity and reliability of the instrument were established (Pearson's correlation significance < 0.05; Cronbach's Alpha = 0.718). Data analysis utilizing SPSS 26 encompassed normality assessment, homogeneity evaluation, paired sample t-tests, and independent t-tests. The results indicated that both groups exhibited improvement; however, the experimental group attained more gains (mean improvement of 9.37 points) than the control group (8.12 points). Statistical analyses revealed significant differences (Sig. 0.000 < 0.05) favoring the Quizizz group. The effectiveness of Quizizz is due to its gamification features, immediate feedback, and alignment with adolescents' learning preferences. The study suggests that Quizizz is an effective and entertaining instrument for vocabulary acquisition; however, additional research with larger samples and extended duration is advised.

Abstract

This study investigated the effectiveness of ChatGPT-assisted Inquiry-Based Learning (IBL) in enhancing English as a Foreign Language (EFL) students' writing performance, reflective thinking, and motivation. A quasi-experimental pretest–posttest non-equivalent control group design was employed with 80 undergraduate EFL students assigned to either a conventional IBL group or a ChatGPT-assisted IBL group. Data were collected through IELTS-based writing assessments and validated questionnaires on reflective thinking and motivation and analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. The findings showed that students in the ChatGPT-assisted IBL group significantly outperformed those in the conventional IBL group in writing performance, reflective thinking, and motivation. Positive associations were also observed among the three learning outcomes, suggesting that integrating generative AI into inquiry-based instruction supports both cognitive and affective aspects of learning. These findings highlight the pedagogical potential of ChatGPT to enrich inquiry-based writing instruction by promoting reflective learning, increasing student motivation, and improving writing quality. Although the quasi-experimental design limits causal inference, the study provides empirical evidence supporting the integration of generative AI into EFL teaching and offers practical implications for AI-enhanced language learning in higher education.
