Reflection on learning is a vital component of the Teacher Professional Education (PPG) program, particularly in enhancing the competence of novice teachers. At Universitas Muhammadiyah Sidenreng Rappang (UMS Rappang), reflection serves as a mechanism to evaluate and improve teaching practices across pedagogical, professional, social, and personal competencies. This study examines strategies such as daily reflective journals, group discussions, observation and feedback, case studies, and the integration of technology in reflective processes. These strategies aim to develop critical thinking, self-awareness, and innovative teaching approaches among novice teachers. The findings highlight that systematic reflection significantly improves teaching effectiveness, professional development, and student learning outcomes. The structured application of reflective practices empowers novice teachers to become adaptive, professional educators prepared to address the challenges of modern education.

This study aims to investigate the effectiveness of the collaborative learning method in enhancing students' motivation to learn English, focusing on seventh-grade students at SMPN 7 SATAP MAIWA. Employing a descriptive qualitative approach, the study explores how collaborative learning techniques influence students’ motivation and evaluates their role in improving the English learning process. The findings indicate that the collaborative learning method has a significant positive impact on students’ motivation. Among the 20 students who participated, 16 (80%) reported increased confidence in using English, opportunities to assist each other in overcoming challenges, and improved problem-solving skills when completing assignments. Group interactions further encouraged students to participate actively in learning activities, making the process more engaging and enjoyable. Collaborative learning also fostered stronger peer relationships and provided a supportive environment where students felt more comfortable expressing their opinions and ideas. The study concludes that the collaborative learning method is an effective strategy for boosting students' motivation in learning English. By working together in groups, students not only gain confidence in communication but also develop essential social and cognitive skills. This method encourages students to be more responsible for their learning while promoting mutual support and cooperation. Therefore, collaborative learning can serve as an alternative approach to improving the quality of English instruction, particularly in encouraging student-centered learning and active participation in the classroom.

Speaking skills are a fundamental aspect of learning English as a foreign language, essential for academic and professional success. However, many students, especially in non-English-speaking environments, face difficulties in communication due to limited vocabulary, low confidence, and lack of practical speaking opportunities. This study explores the effectiveness of Project-Based Learning (PBL) in enhancing students’ English-speaking abilities at MTs YMPI Rappang. Using a qualitative case study approach, data were collected through classroom observations, interviews with teachers and students, and an analysis of students’ speaking performance before and after PBL implementation. The results show that PBL significantly improved students’ speaking skills in terms of fluency, pronunciation, grammar, and confidence. Students became more motivated to speak and actively participated in classroom discussions and group projects. The collaborative nature of PBL fostered peer learning and provided students with authentic speaking experiences, enabling them to practice English in real-world contexts. This study highlights the potential of PBL as an effective method for improving speaking skills and recommends its broader application in language teaching to create more engaging and meaningful learning experiences.

This study aims to analyze the influence of Mappatabe' culture on education in the Bugis region, with a particular focus on Lasiwala Village, Sidrap District, South Sulawesi. Mappatabe' is a local tradition that reflects the values of respect, politeness, and morality passed down from generation to generation in Bugis society. This study used a qualitative approach with in-depth interviews, participatory observation and document analysis to collect data from various parties, including religious leaders, educators, traditional leaders and the younger generation. The results showed that Mappatabe' culture has an important role in shaping students' character, especially in terms of respect for parents, teachers, and others. The values contained in Mappatabe' also contribute to improving discipline and order in the school environment. However, the main challenge in preserving this culture is the influence of modernization and globalization which tends to reduce traditional respectful practices. In addition, the lack of in-depth understanding of the values of Mappatabe' makes most of the younger generation only see it as a formal ritual without understanding the moral essence contained in it. To maintain the sustainability of this culture in education, this research recommends collaboration between families, schools and communities in integrating Mappatabe' values into the formal and non-formal education curriculum. Strategies that can be implemented include strengthening local culture-based character education, increasing the involvement of traditional leaders in learning, and using interactive learning methods such as traditional games and folklore. This research makes an important contribution to the development of local culture based education in Indonesia, particularly in maintaining Bugis cultural identity amidst changing times. By maintaining and adapting the Mappatabe' culture, it is hoped that the younger generation can still understand and apply the ethical and moral values that characterize Bugis society.

This study investigates the effectiveness of the Werewolf game in improving the speaking skills of second-semester English Education students at Universitas Muhammadiyah Sidenreng Rappang. Speaking is one of the most essential language skills, yet many students face difficulties in fluency, confidence, and vocabulary usage. Traditional teaching methods often fail to actively engage students in meaningful communication. Therefore, implementing game-based learning, such as the Werewolf game, offers an interactive and enjoyable approach to language learning. This research employed a one-group pre-test and post-test pre-experimental design involving seven students. Participants engaged in structured speaking activities before and after the intervention. Data were analyzed using SPSS, revealing a significant improvement in students' speaking performance. The mean score increased from 54% to 83%, with a p-value of 0.006 (< 0.05), indicating a statistically significant impact. These findings suggest that incorporating the Werewolf game into speaking lessons can effectively enhance students’ participation, motivation, and confidence in expressing their ideas in English. The Werewolf game promotes real-time interaction, critical thinking, and spontaneous speech, which are crucial for developing communicative competence. By encouraging students to articulate their thoughts, respond to others, and negotiate meaning in a dynamic setting, the game fosters a more engaging and less anxiety-inducing environment compared to conventional methods.

A qualitative approach was employed, and data were collected through structured interviews with lecturers and students. The findings show that lecturers apply several strategies, including designing inclusive learning activities, promoting student collaboration, offering technical support, and facilitating the development of digital skills. The implementation of these strategies is supported by the availability of digital platforms and institutional facilities. However, limitations in internet access, varying levels of student digital literacy, and challenges in maintaining focus during online learning continue to pose obstacles. Overall, the study highlights the importance of lecturer readiness, institutional support, and student initiative in reducing the digital divide and improving the quality of online English language learning.
