Abstract

This study examines the impact of the Reading Eggs application on developing reading skills among young ESL (English as a Second Language) learners, focusing on age and gender differences within the Teaching at the Right Level (TaRL) framework. A quantitative pre-test/post-test design was employed to assess changes in reading skills following a two-week intervention using Reading Eggs. The participants included 28 primary school students grouped by age and gender to explore demographic effects. A two-way ANOVA was conducted to evaluate the influence of age, gender, and their interaction on reading skills. While the results showed no statistically significant effects, a large effect size for age suggests a potential influence constrained by the limited sample size. Gender and the interaction of age and gender demonstrated negligible effects. Data analysis included two-way ANOVA, hierarchical regression, and Structural Equation Modeling to uncover nuanced relationships between age, gender, and program effectiveness. The findings revealed no statistically significant effects, although a large effect size for age suggests a potential impact limited by the small sample size. Gender and the interaction of age and gender demonstrated negligible effects.

Abstract

Pembelajaran yang menyenangkan perlu diprioritaskan agar peserta didik nyaman dan termotivasi untuk belajar. Namun, banyak pendidik langsung mengajar materi tanpa menciptakan suasana belajar sesuai kurikulum merdeka. Pembelajaran tersebut akan tercapai jika pendidik memiliki kepercayaan diri melalui pendekatan efikasi diri. Efikasi diri adalah keyakinan dan penilaian individu bahwa dirinya mampu melakukan tugas sesuai dengan yang dipersyaratkan untuk mencapai tujuan. Pendekatan ini membantu pendidik percaya diri dalam mengatasi peserta didik bermasalah dan menciptakan suasana belajar yang positif sehingga berdampak pada prestasi peserta didik. Guru di KKG Dewi Sartika memiliki kompetensi baik, tetapi masih kurang percaya diri dalam menghadapi siswa bermasalah. Tujuan kegiatan PKM ini adalah untuk meningkatkan efikasi diri pendidik dalam melaksanakan tugas mengajar melalui pembelajaran yang menyenangkan. Efikasi diri yang kuat akan meningkatkan kualitas pengajaran, mencetak pendidik dan peserta didik yang berprestasi. Metode yang diterapkan adalah metode partisipatif bersama tim PKM, meliputi pemberian materi, praktik, dan pendampingan untuk refleksi para peserta setelah mengikuti pelatihan. Melalui pelatihan ini, dihasilkan pendidik yang lebih percaya diri terhadap kemampuannya berdasarkan refleksi hasil rekaman video pembelajaran, respon pendidik bahwa kegiatan sangat bermanfaat sebagai pengalaman menciptakan pembelajaran yang menyenangkan, serta manfaat itu akan dibagikan kepada pendidik yang belum sempat hadir. Joyful learning should be prioritized to ensure students feel comfortable and motivated to learn. However, many educators directly teach the material without creating a conducive learning atmosphere as required by the independent curriculum. Such learning goals can be achieved if educators possess confidence through a self-efficacy approach. Self-efficacy refers to an individual's belief and assessment of their ability to perform tasks required to achieve specific goals. This approach aids educators in building confidence to address challenging students and create a positive learning environment that has an impact on student achievement. Teachers at KKG Dewi Sartika demonstrate good competence, but lack confidence in dealing with challenging students. The purpose of this activity is to improve the self-efficacy of educators in carrying out teaching tasks through joyful learning. Strong self-efficacy enhances teaching quality, fostering both educator and student excellence. The method applied is a participatory method with the team, encompassing material provision, practical sessions, and continuous mentoring for reflection after training. Through this training, educators are produced who are more confident in their abilities based on reflections on the results of the learning video, educator responses that the activity was very useful in create enjoyable learning experiences, and these benefits would be shared with other educators who had not had the opportunity to attend.

Abstract

The study examines English Teachers’ knowledge and attitudes concerning different assessment methods in SMK Ky Ageng Giri. Understanding assessment concepts helps teachers choose and create the best methods to assess students. How much SMK instructors Ky Ageng Giri knew about writing assessment and if they had formal training before instructing are two major research topics. Three SMK Ky Ageng Giri English teachers complete open-ended surveys and classroom observations. The poll found that most individuals had some formal training, but 33.3% had none. All teachers claimed they had no formal assessment writing training. More than half complained about creating evaluation projects to evaluate their students. The open-ended questionnaire answers match class practice and evaluation background. The study aims to evaluate the implementation of current educational programs in classrooms and identify assessment writing concerns among English teachers to inspire Vocational School teachers to review their assessment processes.

Abstract

This research aims to identify the writing skills of students who completed the course without the use of YouTube Video "GIA Academy," the writing skills of students who were provided teaching with the use of YouTube Video "GIA Academy," and the significant differences in writing skills between those students who were provided teaching with YouTube Video "GIA Academy" and those who did not. In this study, quantitative methodology was employed. In a quasi-experiment, two classes were compared as the experimental and control classes consisted of two groups of samples. The findings of this investigation revealed that the experimental class had an average post-test score of 79.72 whereas the control class had an average post-test score of 64.69. The experimental class had a post-test average score of 48.47, while the control class received a score of 16.53, demonstrating a clear distinction between the two classes. The two classes that were taught in different ways have a big difference, although the approach that used YouTube videos from "GIA Academy" to improve students' writing skills worked well enough. The data provided a rather accurate comparison of the test results between the experimental and control groups. In addition to improving students' writing abilities, YouTube video “GIA Academy” to study also changes the learning environment and is regarded as an enjoyable learning approach.

Abstract

This research aimed to investigate the effectiveness of using vocabulary matching games in improving young learners’ vocabulary mastery. Conducted at SMP Negeri 1 Semarang, the study employed a quasi-experimental design involving two eighth-grade classes: one as the experimental group using vocabulary matching games, and the other as the control group using traditional methods. Pre-tests and post-tests were administered to both groups to assess vocabulary development. The findings revealed a significant improvement in the experimental group’s vocabulary mastery, with the average score increasing from 62.85 to 78.62, while the control group improved from 52.65 to 65.41. An independent samples t-test showed a p-value of 0.020, indicating a statistically significant difference between the two groups. The results support the idea that game-based learning fosters active engagement, better retention, and enhanced motivation among students. This research further aligns with previous studies that emphasize the pedagogical benefits of interactive vocabulary instruction. In conclusion, vocabulary matching games proved to be an effective instructional strategy for enhancing vocabulary acquisition and should be considered as a valuable tool in language learning classrooms.

Abstract

Teaching and learning centers play a vital role in supporting teachers who are seeking to improve their practices or find new strategies to address the challenges in their classrooms. One major dilemma teachers face is selecting the most effective teaching strategies for their specific classroom situations. This challenge is influenced by a variety of factors, including class size, subject matter, student demographics, and the teachers' own skills and teaching styles. As educators strive to meet the diverse needs of their students, finding the right approach can be overwhelming. Classroom Action Research (CAR) provides a systematic way for teachers to explore and address these challenges. Through this process, teachers engage in a cycle of inquiry—planning, acting, observing, and reflecting—allowing them to make informed decisions about their teaching practices. CAR empowers teachers to critically examine their own teaching methods, consider their personal values, and identify strategies that best align with the needs of their students. By working collaboratively, teachers can share insights and refine their practices, creating a collective, evidence-based approach to teaching. This paper discusses the interactive process of CAR, emphasizing its role in helping teachers reflect on their practices, experiment with new strategies, and develop a shared understanding of effective teaching. It highlights how CAR can lead to immediate, meaningful changes in teaching and learning.
