Abstract

In the momentum of the 2035 Demographic Bonus and the vision of Golden Indonesia 2045, there are both challenges and great opportunities for Indonesia's education system, where students are required to have soft skills, character, and critical thinking abilities. To realize this, Practitioner Lectures serve as a tangible form of practice in building teaching competence by connecting theory with direct experience from the professional or working world. This article describes the implementation of a national webinar titled “Practical Lecture: Building Teaching Competence Through Real Practice,” organized by the English Education Study Program, West Sulawesi University. This Practitioner Lecture aims to train students to become class leaders and to carry out best teaching practices using the STAR Method (Situation, Task, Action, Result). The activity was held online via the Zoom Meeting platform on August 13, 2025, featuring experienced speakers in the field of education. A total of 69 participants attended and stayed until the end of the event. The event evaluation was conducted through an online form, covering satisfaction with the material, presenters’ delivery, and relevance to participants’ academic needs. Evaluation results proved that the implementation of the practitioner lecture in building teaching competence was very successful, with the majority of participants stating a combination of engaging and easy-to-understand material, good and interactive delivery, as well as opportunities to gain valuable insights and real experience for the development of teaching skills and the professional growth of future teachers. Through this training, participants will gain a deep understanding of teaching techniques that not only emphasize material delivery but also classroom management and increasing student engagement. The expected outcome is the creation of class leaders capable of managing learning more effectively and inspiringly, supporting the achievement of optimal educational goals.

This research aims to find out the improvement of the 1st-grade students’ narrative writing by using digital storytelling and how they perceive that. The researchers used a quasi-experimental design to conduct this research. The population was 93 students and the sample elected was 15 students for both experiment and control classes. Test and questionnaire were employed to address the research questions. The data analysis was conducted using SPSS 25. The findings revealed that students’ narrative writing improved after digital storytelling was integrated into the lessons. The independent sample test showed that sig. 2 tailed < 0.05. Consequently, the alternative hypothesis was accepted, indicating a significant difference in narrative writing between students taught with digital storytelling and those taught without using digital storytelling. Moreover, the n-gain score result showed that the mean score of the experiment class was 62.09 included in the effective enough category. Therefore, it can be concluded that the use of digital storytelling is effective enough in enhancing the narrative writing of the 1st-grade students of MAN 2 Polman.
