Abstract

The purpose of this study is to increase student interest in learning at SMK Negeri 1 Sitolu Ori by developing strategies for using the Quizizz application, developing the use of the Quizizz program, and determining how students react to its use. The need to identify practical methods for raising student enthusiasm and engagement in a classroom setting is the main emphasis of this study. This study uses Quizizz, which provides interactive tests and gamification features, to evaluate how it affects student engagement and interest. Surveys were used to collect data both before and after implementation. According to the findings, using Quizizz greatly raised students' motivation and involvement in their education. This study employed a 4D development model in conjunction with a Research and Development (R&D) methodology. The validation questionnaire validated the results, which demonstrated that the Quizizz application used in this study was highly practical and viable. With a 90% agreement level, media professionals assigned an average score of 0.9, placing it in the extremely possible category. With an agreement level of 81.66%, material experts assigned an average score of 0.81, placing them in the extremely feasible category. With a 100% agreement level, practitioner experts assigned an average score of 1, placing it in the extremely possible category.  Based on these findings, the study comes to the conclusion that using Quizizz as an educational technology tool to increase students' interest in studying at SMK Negeri 1 Sitolu Ori has been shown to be both practicable and useful. Teachers and other educators are advised to learn how to use the Quizizz app for various learning activities.

Abstract

The process of comprehending a text in which the reader, the text, and the context interact is known as reading comprehension. Reading comprehension makes it easier for someone to understand what they are reading. The purpose of this study was to determine whether using technology-based learning resources may improve the reading comprehension of tenth-grade students at SMK Negeri 1 Botomuzoi in 2023–2024. Observation sheet exercises, tests, and field notes were used to gather data for this study, which aims to determine how technology-based learning materials might be used to enhance students' reading comprehension. Classroom Action Research (CAR) was the methodology employed in this study. Based on the findings of the first cycle, which had an average of 45% of students who responded to a test question, researchers completed their study in two cycles. Because the first cycle's value fell short of the 70% Minimum Competency Criteria, the researcher proceeded to the second cycle once the first cycle was finished.  The second cycle's average score for students who responded to the test questions was 85%. in order for students' reading comprehension to be enhanced through the use of technology-based learning resource.

Abstract

This study investigates students’ perceptions of using descriptive texts to improve English vocabulary acquisition at SMP Negeri 2 Hiliduho. Motivated by students’ limited vocabulary mastery, which hinders their comprehension and writing of descriptive texts, the research employs a descriptive qualitative approach involving seventh-grade participants. Data were collected through questionnaires, interviews, and documentation. The findings reveal that descriptive texts provide meaningful context, aiding students in understanding and retaining new vocabulary. The inclusion of media such as images and videos further supports vocabulary learning by enhancing engagement and comprehension. Despite these benefits, challenges persist, including low motivation, repetitive instructional methods, and insufficient use of media, which limit students’ ability to relate new vocabulary to real-life contexts. Nevertheless, students expressed generally positive perceptions, noting that descriptive texts made learning more interactive, enjoyable, and useful for vocabulary development and writing improvement. The study recommends that teachers regularly integrate descriptive texts with visual aids and interactive strategies to foster greater student motivation and participation. These findings contribute to the advancement of more effective and engaging English language teaching practices at the junior high school level.
