Abstract

Students often struggle to distinguish words that look or sound similar but have different meanings. They also face challenges in using these words appropriately, leading to errors in comprehension and language use. This study aims to assess students' ability to differentiate the meanings of homonyms, homophones, and homographs, as well as to identify their level of accuracy and the difficulties they encounter in understanding and using these words in context. Using a qualitative approach, the research was conducted through comprehension tests, interviews, and observations of students. The findings indicate that while students have a basic understanding of these concepts, they still struggle to interpret meanings based on context, particularly with words that share similar pronunciation or identical spelling but have different meanings. Common errors were most frequently related to homophones, suggesting that students' listening and writing skills influence their ability to distinguish these words accurately. Additionally, confidence played a role in students’ responses, as those with higher confidence tended to provide clearer and more accurate answers. Based on these findings, this study recommends strengthening teaching methods that emphasize contextual understanding, improving listening and writing skills, and fostering a more supportive learning environment to help students better differentiate word meanings.

Abstract

This research investigates the Sandobatu tradition in Compong Village, Sidenreng Rappang Regency, with a specific focus on its significance in preserving Masara culture. Utilizing a qualitative research approach, the study examines the role of traditional leaders in maintaining this cultural heritage and fostering a sense of identity among the community. The findings reveal that while traditional leaders actively promote and uphold the Masara traditions, the younger generation faces challenges in preserving them due to the growing influence of globalization and modern technology. This shift has led to a decline in cultural understanding and engagement among younger members of the community. In response, efforts have been made to educate the youth on the importance of these traditions through cultural discussions and interactive learning activities. Additionally, the study underscores the necessity of documenting and digitizing Masara rituals to ensure their longevity and accessibility for future generations. Preserving these traditions is crucial for maintaining the cultural integrity of the community and strengthening intergenerational connections.

Abstract

This research aims to conduct a critical analysis of the social and cultural dimensions of Panai money in the Bugis community. Panai money, as a traditional form of money, has a significant role in the social and cultural dynamics of the Bugis people. This research carries a qualitative method with a cultural anthropology approach to explore a deep understanding of the practice of using Panai money and its impact on social structure and cultural values within the Bugis community.Data were obtained through in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and content analysis of relevant primary and secondary sources. The results showed that Panai money was not only a medium of exchange, but also a symbol of wealth, honor, and social status in Bugis society. The existence of Panai money contributes to the formation of social hierarchies and the construction of cultural values inherent in these societies.A critical analysis of Panai money within the social and cultural context of the Bugis community can provide a better understanding of the dynamics of social relations and power structures within this community. The implications of this research are expected to contribute to a further understanding of traditional economic practices and the complexity of social structures in the context of Bugis society as well as provide a foundation for the development of better policies in preserving cultural heritage and maintaining social balance in the future

Abstract

This study compares the effectiveness of physical and digital flashcards in English vocabulary mastery at SMP Negeri 1 Baranti. The research employs a quasi-experimental method with a pre-test and post-test design to measure students' vocabulary comprehension improvement after using both types of flashcards. The sample consists of eighth-grade students divided into two groups, each using either physical or digital flashcards as learning media. The results indicate that digital flashcards are more effective in improving post-test scores compared to physical flashcards. However, based on a questionnaire given to students, most preferred physical flashcards due to their visually engaging appearance and better focus during use. On the other hand, digital flashcards provide advantages in accessibility and audio features that aid pronunciation learning. The study concludes that digital flashcards significantly enhance students' vocabulary mastery, yet student preferences still lean toward physical flashcards. The findings provide insights for educators in selecting appropriate learning media that align with students' needs and preferences to optimize English language teaching effectiveness.

Abstract

In an increasingly globalized world, English proficiency is essential for academic and professional success. However, many first-semester English Education students at Universitas Muhammadiyah Sidenreng Rappang remain at a basic proficiency level, which hinders their progression toward intermediate competence as required by the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR). This research addresses the lack of tailored instructional materials that support students’ transition from basic to intermediate proficiency. This study aims to design and develop instructional materials based on a comprehensive needs analysis. Employing a Research and Development (R&D) methodology with the ADDIE model (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation), the research engaged 30 first-semester students, three lecturers, and five alumni. Data were collected through questionnaires, interviews, diagnostic tests, pretests, posttests, and classroom observations. Quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and paired sample t-tests, while qualitative data were examined thematically. The findings revealed that students faced significant challenges in speaking fluently, comprehending oral input at natural speed, identifying main ideas in reading, and organizing ideas in writing. The developed instructional materials, which integrated task-based and skill-based approaches aligned with CEFR descriptors, demonstrated effectiveness in bridging these gaps. Posttest results showed significant improvement across all four language skills, confirming the materials’ role in supporting students’ transition toward intermediate proficiency. This research contributes to English language education by providing empirically validated instructional materials that respond to learners’ actual needs. It offers practical implications for lecturers, institutions, and future researchers in designing relevant and level-appropriate English learning resources.

Abstract

The issue of household organic waste and the high cost of fish feed remains a significant challenge in Kulo Village. Limited community knowledge and skills in managing organic waste with economic value exacerbate this situation. A training program on Black Soldier Fly (BSF) larvae cultivation using household organic waste was implemented as a solution to both the waste problem and the rising cost of fish feed in Kulo Village, Sidenreng Rappang Regency. This initiative targeted the Anugrah Fishery Group (Pokdakan), which lacks expertise in organic waste management through BSF maggot bioconversion. This community empowerment program aimed to enhance the knowledge and skills of Pokdakan Anugrah in cultivating BSF maggots by utilizing household organic waste as a waste management solution and an alternative fish feed source. The methodology consisted of three phases: (1) outreach and introductory instruction on waste management and maggot cultivation, (2) hands-on practice in constructing BSF egg-laying cages and media, and (3) evaluation through pre-test and post-test assessments. The evaluation results indicated a substantial improvement in participants’ understanding, increasing from an initial 35.92% to 93.30% across various aspects, including the role of maggots as decomposers, the use of “kasgot” as fertilizer, maggots as alternative fish feed, the BSF life cycle, and cultivation techniques. The program demonstrated the potential to reduce household organic waste volume, lower fish farming production costs, and create new economic opportunities through the sale of maggots and organic fertilizer. The training activities significantly improved participant comprehension. Post-test scores increased to 90.62%–95.25% compared to the pre-test scores of 33.50%–38.50%. Participants directly practiced the fermentation of BSF maggot substrate using 10–15 kg of organic waste, constructed multi-level bioponds, BSF fly cages, and egg-laying media. This program not only has the potential to reduce household organic waste but also enables the production of highly nutritious alternative fish feed, thus reducing aquaculture production costs by 60–70% compared to conventional feed. Additionally, new economic opportunities may emerge through the sale of fresh/dried maggots and kasgot organic fertilizer. Overall, this training successfully empowered Pokdakan Anugrah in a sustainable manner, supported environmental management efforts, and fostered the development of a waste-based creative economy.
