Abstract

The objective of this study is to develop descriptive text learning materials based on local wisdom for seventh grade students of MTs Negeri 1 Manado. To make the research more focused, the problem formulation is limited to three main issues: (1) what are the learning needs of descriptive texts in seventh grade at MTs Negeri 1 Manado; (2) what is the form and design of local wisdom–based learning materials in descriptive text learning; and (3) how effective is the implementation of local wisdom–based learning materials in descriptive text learning. This study employed a Research and Development (R&D) method using Sugiyono’s model, which consists of ten steps, ranging from identifying potentials and problems to mass production. The research subjects included material experts, media experts, and seventh grade students. Data collection instruments consisted of questionnaires, tests, observations, and interviews. The data were analyzed descriptively to determine the validity, practicality, and effectiveness of the product. The results of the study show that: (1) the developed learning materials meet the eligibility criteria in terms of content, language, presentation, and graphics, categorized as very feasible; (2) the local wisdom–based learning materials of North Sulawesi attracted students’ learning interest and facilitated their understanding of the structure and linguistic features of descriptive texts; and (3) the effectiveness test results revealed an improvement in students’ ability to write descriptive texts, with N-gain values falling into the medium to high categories. This study concludes that local wisdom–based learning materials are effective in improving students’ descriptive writing skills while simultaneously instilling the values of local wisdom in learners.

Abstract

This study employed a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental method and a Posttest Only Control Group Design. The research population consisted of all 74 tenth-grade students of UPT SMA Negeri 4 Sidrap, and the sampling technique used was total sampling, thereby including the entire population as the sample. The research instruments were a 20-item multiple-choice objective test and a questionnaire. The results showed that the average posttest score of the experimental group using the Socrative application was 84.72, while the control group using conventional tests obtained an average score of 54.72. Thus, the use of the Socrative application proved effective in improving the Indonesian language learning outcomes of the tenth-grade students at UPT SMA Negeri 4 Sidrap.

Abstract

This study examines the effectiveness of a digital learning method based on a Learning Management System (LMS) in improving Indonesian language literacy among students at SMP Muhammadiyah Rappang. The research is grounded in the increasing need for technology-enhanced learning that supports literacy development in the digital era. A quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental pretest–posttest control group design was employed. The sample consisted of two classes: an experimental group that received instruction through the LMS and a control group taught using conventional methods. Data were collected through validated reading and writing literacy tests and analyzed using a t-test to determine significant differences between groups. The findings indicate that students in the LMS-based class showed higher gains in literacy skills compared to those in the traditional class. Key LMS features—structured materials, multimedia resources, discussion forums, and automated assessment—contributed to increased motivation, independent learning, and text comprehension. These results demonstrate that LMS-based digital learning is effective in enhancing literacy competencies among junior high school students. The study recommends the continuous integration of LMS platforms and the development of more diverse digital learning content for Indonesian language instruction.

Abstract

This study explores how collaborative learning activities facilitated by university students contribute to the development of student character at SMP Muhammadiyah Pangsid. Character education has become an essential component of Indonesia’s educational goals, emphasizing values such as responsibility, cooperation, discipline, and respect. However, schools often face challenges in implementing character-building programs effectively, particularly when learning environments rely heavily on teacher-centered instruction. Using a qualitative descriptive design, this research investigates the role of university students assisting in the school’s learning process and how their involvement supports character formation among junior high school students. Data were collected through classroom observations, semi-structured interviews with teachers and university student assistants, and documentation of classroom activities. The findings show that collaborative learning strategies introduced by university students—such as group problem-solving, peer discussion, and project-based tasks—significantly encouraged students to practice teamwork, communication, empathy, and mutual respect. These interactions created a more supportive and participatory classroom environment, allowing students to engage more actively and develop positive behaviors. Teachers indicated that the presence of university students also enhanced students’ motivation and provided additional role models who reinforced character values through daily classroom engagement. Overall, the study demonstrates that collaborative learning facilitated through university–school partnerships can strengthen character formation in junior high school learners. The involvement of university students not only enriches instructional practices but also supports the school’s efforts to cultivate essential character traits. This research highlights the importance of experiential, interactive, and community-based approaches in promoting character education in Indonesian schools.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the implementation of literature learning in enhancing students’ literary appreciation at SMP Negeri 4 Panca Rijang. The research involved a sample of 30 eighth-grade students selected through purposive sampling. A descriptive qualitative design was employed to examine how literature learning strategies—such as reading activities, guided discussions, and appreciation tasks—contributed to students’ understanding and emotional engagement with literary texts. Data were collected through classroom observations, student worksheets, and interviews, then analyzed through thematic coding. The findings indicate that the use of interactive literature learning methods significantly supports students’ ability to identify intrinsic elements, interpret meanings, and express personal responses to stories and poems. Furthermore, students demonstrated increased motivation and confidence in appreciating literary works after the implementation of structured learning steps. The study concludes that literature learning, when systematically planned and delivered, can effectively improve students’ literary appreciation at the junior secondary school level
