Abstract

This study investigates the effect of applying the Think-Pair-Share (TPS) strategy on students’ reading comprehension of descriptive texts among eighth-grade students at SMP Negeri 32 Medan. The research was motivated by observations that students struggled with reading comprehension due to monotonous teaching methods that lacked student engagement. Using an experimental design, the study involved two groups: the experimental group was taught using the TPS strategy, while the control group received conventional instruction. Both groups completed a pre-test and post-test comprising multiple-choice questions focused on descriptive texts. The results revealed a significant improvement in the reading comprehension scores of students in the experimental group. The mean score of the experimental group increased from 48.5 in the pre-test to 78.625 in the post-test, whereas the control group showed only a slight improvement, from 56.25 to 58.75. Statistical analysis using a paired sample t-test confirmed the effectiveness of the TPS strategy in enhancing students’ reading comprehension. These findings suggest that the TPS strategy is a beneficial approach for improving student engagement and comprehension in reading, particularly for descriptive texts.

Abstract

This study investigates the effectiveness of gamification, particularly using the Kahoot platform, in enhancing English vocabulary acquisition among seventh-grade students at SMPN 31 Medan during the 2024/2025 academic year. Vocabulary mastery plays a crucial role in supporting the four English language skills: listening, speaking, reading, and writing. However, traditional vocabulary instruction methods often fail to engage students and result in limited retention. This quasi-experimental study employed a pre-test and post-test design to compare learning outcomes between an experimental group exposed to gamified vocabulary instruction and a control group taught through conventional methods. The findings indicate a significant improvement in the vocabulary acquisition of students taught using gamification. The experimental group achieved a mean gain score of 68.22, notably higher than the control group’s 49.97. Statistical analysis using an independent samples t-test revealed a t-count of 4.41, exceeding the critical t-value of 2.00, confirming the significance of the results. Moreover, the experimental group demonstrated more consistent progress, as reflected in the lower variance of their gain scores.

Abstract

This study investigates the impact of Problem-Based Learning (PBL) on the speaking skills of eighth-grade students at SMP Swasta Anastasia Medan during the 2024/2025 academic year. The research is grounded in the premise that speaking is a crucial component of English language proficiency, yet remains a significant challenge for many students due to factors such as limited vocabulary, lack of confidence, and insufficient practice opportunities. A quasi-experimental design was employed involving two groups: an experimental group that received instruction using the PBL method, and a control group taught through traditional methods. Data were collected through pre-test and post-test assessments and analyzed using an independent sample t-test. The findings reveal that both groups demonstrated improvement in their speaking skills. However, the control group achieved a higher mean gain score than the experimental group. Despite this, the statistical analysis confirmed a significant difference in outcomes, with the PBL group showing more consistent progress and engagement in communicative tasks. The results indicate that while traditional methods may produce higher immediate test scores, PBL fosters deeper learning, active participation, and meaningful language use.

Abstract

The present study analyses the needs and readiness for implementing Science and Social Studies (IPAS) learning based on Project-Based Learning (PjBL) integrated with local wisdom values, particularly the Toba Nauli cultural philosophy, at the elementary school level. Motivated by the low science literacy of Indonesian students as revealed in the 2022 PISA results and the lack of contextual relevance in IPAS content, the research adopts a mixed-methods design combining qualitative and quantitative approaches. Data were collected through interviews, classroom observations, document analysis, and Likert-scale questionnaires involving 20 teachers and 40 students across four elementary schools in Medan. The research results show that teachers have a positive perception of the importance of PjBL and science literacy, as well as a high belief in the relevance of Toba Nauli values in IPAS learning (M = 4.20; SD = 0.68). However, the limitations of teaching modules, lack of training, and low use of local media have made cultural integration in learning not optimally implemented. On the other hand, students show high enthusiasm for project-based learning. However, their actual experience with learning incorporating local culture is minimal (only 15% of students reported having experienced it). These findings indicate a significant potential yet to be realised within the current IPAS learning system. Therefore, this research recommends developing a PjBL-based IPAS learning model that incorporates the Toba Nauli philosophy as a foundation for the local context to enhance students' science literacy in a meaningful, contextual, and culturally rooted manner. These findings are expected to serve as a conceptual and empirical foundation in designing transformative learning innovations in elementary schools.

Abstract

One of the common problems in teaching English Reading Comprehension at the college level is the mismatch between the teaching materials and the student’s proficiency level. This study explores students’ perceptions of the effectiveness of the teaching materials used in the English Reading Comprehension course and how they affect their learning experience. This study used a mixed methods approach, combining quantitative and qualitative methods. The subjects of the study consisted of 60 second-semester students of the English Language Education Study Program, who were selected through a total sampling technique from three different classes taught by lecturers A, B, and C. Data were collected through a Likert-scale questionnaire to assess clarity, relevance, use of multimedia, and motivational impact, and semi-structured interviews to dig deeper into the information. Quantitative data analysis was conducted descriptively, while qualitative data were analyzed using a thematic approach. The results showed that the materials from Lecturers A and B received positive assessments, while those from Lecturer C were less effective. The conclusion of this study confirms that structured, proficiency-appropriate, and multimodal teaching materials can significantly improve students’ comprehension and engagement. The implications of these findings highlight the importance of student-centered and innovative teaching approaches in higher education curriculum development.
