Abstract

There has been a rise in the number of mental health problems that college students are suffering as a direct result of the increased levels of stress that are present in the university environment. Students can effectively communicate their emotions through writing activities such as maintaining a diary, writing poetry, or engaging in introspective writing. On the other hand, educational institutions in Indonesia continue to overlook research questions about how students can improve their mental health through the use of personal writing. The purpose of this study is to investigate how children utilize writing as a means of effectively expressing their feelings and preserving their mental health. Researchers from Universitas Muhammadiyah Semarang recruited thirty students from the second, sixth, and eighth semesters to participate in the study. A quantitative and descriptive method was utilized in the investigation. To collect the information, we conducted a survey consisting of a single question. After engaging in activities that involved personal writing, the majority of participants in the survey reported feeling more emotionally balanced and experiencing lower levels of stress. The study's findings revealed this. The act of writing helped them become more self-aware, which in turn enhanced their emotional intelligence and problem-solving abilities. The results of the study suggest that students may be able to improve their mental health via the use of personal writing rather than through the use of pharmaceutical therapies. Instruction in reflective writing should be provided to students at educational institutions to promote the mental health of children.

Abstract

This study investigates the efficacy of mobile media in enhancing students' paragraph writing skills, motivation, and behavioural involvement. This research seeks to reconcile traditional pedagogical approaches with students' digital practices amid the swift incorporation of technological devices in education. A quasi-experimental approach comprised two groups: an experimental group employing mobile-based media and a control group using conventional methods. Data were gathered via writing evaluations, motivating surveys, and classroom observations. The findings indicate that students in the experimental group exhibited considerably enhanced writing performance compared to the control group. Furthermore, their motivation and behavioural involvement are heightened owing to mobile media's interactive and accessible characteristics. The results indicate that mobile media effectively enhances student-centred learning and encourages active engagement in writing activities. This study emphasizes mobile media's capacity to revolutionize writing instruction and stimulate future pedagogical advancements.

Abstract

The research examined the perspectives of ESP learners and lecturers regarding the implementation of technology-enhanced task-based language teaching (TBLT) integrated into content language integrated learning (CLIL) in ESP instruction, and it identified key factors affecting its effective integration. A qualitative research design was employed, involving 95 nursing students and 10 ESP lecturers, who completed an open-ended questionnaire. Moreover, participants took part in focus group discussions (FGDs), including ESP students, heads of the nursing program, ESP lecturers, nursing lecturers, stakeholders, and professional nurses. Thematic data analysis of the open-ended questionnaire and FGDs results revealed that students and lecturers viewed the implementation of technology-enhanced TBLT integrated into CLIL as beneficial for integrating nursing theory with English language proficiency, thereby significantly improving content knowledge and language competence. Nonetheless, substantial obstacles arose, encompassing technology limitations, insufficient instructor preparation, and limited interdisciplinary collaboration. The results indicate that successful implementation necessitates a robust technology infrastructure, continuous professional development for educators, and enhanced collaboration between language teachers and nursing departments. The results of this study also show that technology-enhanced TBLT integrated into CLIL can relate theoretical lessons to real-world applications. These results create a complete learning environment that gives nursing students the skills they need to meet the high standards of the medical field.

Abstract

This study aims to improve the learning outcomes of 12th-grade students of SMAN 11 Semarang through the application of the Think-Pair-Share (TPS) cooperative learning model. TPS was chosen for its ability to encourage critical thinking, effective communication, collaboration, and confidence building. This classroom action research (CAR) was conducted in two cycles, each consisting of planning, implementation, observation, and reflection stages. Data collection included pretest and posttest scores, student activity observations, and documentation. The results showed significant improvements in students' learning outcomes, both cognitively and in 21st-century skills. In Cycle 1, the average pretest score was 48.19, increasing to 66.53 in the posttest, with a completion rate of 52.78%. In Cycle 2, the pretest average rose to 57.92, and the posttest average reached 78.75, with a completion rate of 66.67%. Additionally, the TPS model enhanced critical thinking, communication skills, student collaboration, and confidence. Observations indicated increased student engagement in questioning, sharing ideas, and participating in group discussions. The study concludes that the TPS model significantly improves academic learning outcomes and supports the development of essential 21st-century skills. Teachers are encouraged to adopt TPS as an alternative learning strategy in various subjects. Schools can support this model's success by providing training and resources, while universities are expected to prepare future educators to understand and implement innovative teaching strategies like TPS.
