Abstract

This study investigates how English for Specific Purposes ESP learners’ view on the importance of the four macro-skills: speaking, reading, writing and listening in professional and business settings among Indonesian university learners. Despite widespread recognition of English as a key medium in global workplaces, empirical evidence regarding students’ prioritisation of these skills remains limited, particularly in Indonesia. A quantitative survey was conducted among 47 university learners enrolled in ESP programs employing a structured questionnaire with a four-point Likert scale to capture perceptions across the four skill areas. The sample was selected using purposive sampling, and the questionnaire had been reviewed through expert validation to ensure content appropriateness. Descriptive statistical analyses showed that reading had the highest mean score (3.553), followed by speaking (3.547), writing (3.542), and listening (3.516), indicating consistently high perceived importance across all four macro skills. The findings underscore the need for ESP curricula to integrate all four skills and cohesively align instructional practices with workplace expectations. This study contributes to the literature by providing a holistic view of learners' views on English macro-skill importance and offers practical implications for curriculum designers and educators seeking to enhance learners’ readiness for global professional communication.

Abstract

The rapid development of digital technology has created significant challenges and opportunities for Islamic boarding schools (pesantren) in maintaining their educational identity while adapting to the demands of the digital era. This condition necessitates innovative learning transformations that integrate Islamic values with technological advancements through sociological approaches that consider social, cultural, and educational dynamics within pesantren communities. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the application of sociological approaches in transforming pesantren learning through digital platforms and to identify their implications for students’ academic and character development. This research employs a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) to examine and synthesize relevant scholarly publications on digital learning transformation, sociological perspectives in education, and pesantren development. The collected literature was analyzed thematically to identify key patterns, challenges, and outcomes associated with the implementation of cyber-based integrative learning models. The findings reveal that integrating digital platforms into pesantren education significantly enhances students’ technological competencies, learning effectiveness, academic performance, and access to broader knowledge resources. Furthermore, students demonstrate greater openness toward contemporary scientific knowledge while maintaining strong adherence to Islamic teachings and values. The interaction among students, educators, and digital technology fosters collaborative learning environments, strengthens social awareness, improves adaptability to educational changes, and supports the development of critical thinking skills. The study implies that the transformation of pesantren education through a sociological and cyber-based integrative approach not only contributes to academic advancement but also reinforces students’ Islamic identity, character formation, and social responsibility. These findings provide strategic insights for policymakers, pesantren leaders, and educators in designing sustainable digital learning systems that are both technologically adaptive and grounded in Islamic values.

Abstract

Numeracy skills and learning motivation are important competencies that need to be developed at elementary school level. However, conventional learning methods have not fully supported the development of these competencies. This study aims to analyse the effect of integrating comic-based microlearning with student worksheets on the numeracy skills and learning motivation of elementary school students. A quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental design was used, involving a control group of 30 fourth-grade students divided into an experimental group and a control group. Data were collected through numeracy ability tests and learning motivation questionnaires. Analysis of the results showed a significant difference in numeracy ability and learning motivation between the two groups. These findings suggest that integrating Student Worksheets with comic-based microlearning effectively improves elementary school students' numeracy skills and learning motivation in a meaningful, contextual manner. Therefore, this learning model has the potential to serve as an innovative, relevant alternative learning medium for elementary school students, providing empirical contributions to the development of visual and digital learning media for numeracy learning.

Abstract

Mathematics learning in senior high schools still tends to be oriented towards memorizing routine procedures and problems, thus under-developing critical thinking skills and students' socio-affective engagement. However, limited studies have integrated Caring Community values into Problem-Based Learning (PBL) in mathematics learning contexts. This study aims to describe the implementation of Problem-Based Learning (PBL) based on Caring Community in developing Student Worksheets in mathematics at Ibrahimy 2 High School Sukorejo, a boarding school. The study used a descriptive qualitative approach involving 1 mathematics teacher and 31 grade 10 students with data collection techniques in the form of observation, interviews, and documentation. Data analysis was carried out using the interactive model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldana through the stages of collection, reduction, presentation, and drawing conclusions. The results showed that the integration of PBL with Caring Community values was able to create more contextual, collaborative, and meaningful learning. Students became more active in problem investigations, group discussions, and showed increased courage in expressing ideas and presenting work results. In addition, a supportive and emotionally safe learning environment encouraged peer scaffolding and strengthened understanding of mathematical concepts. These findings indicate that Caring Community-based PBL has the potential to be an alternative mathematics learning method that not only develops cognitive aspects, but also social and affective aspects of students, especially in the context of Islamic boarding school education. This study contributes theoretically by extending the Problem-Based Learning (PBL) framework through the integration of Caring Community values, emphasizing that socio-affective dimensions play a crucial role in supporting mathematical understanding and collaborative knowledge construction.
