Abstract

This study aims to examine the effect of using a memory game as a teaching medium on the reading comprehension skills of eighth-grade students at UPTD SMP Negeri 3 Mandrehe. A quasi-experimental, nonequivalent pretest-posttest design was implemented with 60 purposively selected students, who were divided into two groups: a control group and an experimental group. The control group received conventional teaching methods, while the experimental group was taught using a memory game from the Interacty platform. Data were collected through multiple-choice reading comprehension tests administered before and after the treatment. The results were analyzed using paired and independent sample t-tests as well as N-Gain calculations to measure the improvement in reading comprehension skills. The analysis revealed that the experimental group showed a significantly higher improvement in reading comprehension, with an N-Gain score of 0.792 (high) compared to the control group’s 0.244 (low). The findings indicate that memory games effectively enhance vocabulary retention, increase student motivation, improve focus, and create an engaging classroom atmosphere. By incorporating memory games, students became more actively involved in learning, which contributed to improved reading comprehension skills. The study concludes that memory games are a valuable tool for improving reading comprehension and fostering an enjoyable and meaningful learning experience. Therefore, it is recommended that memory games be integrated into junior high school English instruction as an innovative teaching strategy to enhance students’ reading skills. The research highlights the potential of interactive and engaging methods in facilitating language learning, thus suggesting that educators should consider adopting such approaches to improve educational outcomes in reading comprehension.

Abstract

This study explores the role of cooperative learning methods, particularly the Learning Together model, in shaping student character at UPTD SMP Negeri 2 Gunungsitoli. The research employed a qualitative approach, collecting data through classroom observation of 22 eighth-grade students and interviews with an English teacher. The focus was on how cooperative learning fosters essential values such as responsibility, tolerance, collaboration, and effective communication, which are closely aligned with the dimensions of the Pancasila Student Profile. Findings reveal that the Learning Together model effectively enhances students’ social interactions, mutual respect, and willingness to participate actively in group discussions. It also promotes a sense of accountability by encouraging students to contribute ideas, support one another, and take shared responsibility for group outcomes. Beyond academic improvement, the model cultivates positive character traits that are necessary for holistic student development. Nevertheless, several challenges emerged during implementation. Some students displayed low self-confidence, while others struggled due to limited learning time and restricted access to teaching materials or supplementary resources. These barriers highlight the need for improved classroom support, extended learning opportunities, and diversified materials to optimize the effectiveness of cooperative learning. Overall, this research demonstrates that cooperative learning, when applied to English lessons, not only strengthens language skills but also nurtures character values essential for preparing students to meet future challenges. The study offers practical implications for educators, suggesting that balanced teaching strategies integrating academic competence with character development are vital within the Merdeka Curriculum framework. By addressing both cognitive and affective dimensions, teachers can create meaningful learning experiences that encourage students to grow as capable, responsible, and socially aware individuals.

Abstract

The Teaching Campus Program is an important initiative to improve the literacy and numeracy skills of elementary school students in Indonesia. The aim of this research is to evaluate the effectiveness of these programs in achieving their goals using the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method. Of the seven articles analyzed starting from campus programs teaching classes 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6, it was found that these programs succeeded in increasing students' interest in learning, reading, writing and numeracy skills, as well as strengthening their personality and social skills. A holistic approach that includes the use of technology and community involvement has proven effective in creating a supportive learning environment. However, challenges such as program consistency and resource support must be addressed to ensure long-term sustainability. Therefore, these programs have great potential to improve the quality of basic education in Indonesia, but further efforts are needed to maximize their impact.

Abstract

This research aims to develop a Concept Mapping Strategy to enhance the background knowledge of eighth-grade students in English learning at SMP Negeri 7 Gunungsitoli. The research was motivated by the observed difficulty among students in connecting background knowledge with new English materials, which is essential for effective language learning, especially under the Kurikulum Merdeka that promotes student-centered and contextual learning. To address this issue, a strategy was developed using the ADDIE model (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation), with an emphasis on integrating visual and structured learning tools. The product was validated by three experts, material, media, and language, which were categorized as “Very Worthy”. The implementation stage was conducted through two cycles of Classroom Action Research (CAR), involving tests, classroom observations, and questionnaires. The results showed significant improvements: students’ average concept mapping scores increased, and test scores from Cycle I to Cycle II rose. Furthermore, both teacher and student responses indicated high levels of practicality. These findings demonstrate that the Concept Mapping Strategy is feasible, effective, and practical for enhancing students’ background knowledge and engagement in junior high school English classrooms.   Abstrak Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengembangkan Strategi Pemetaan Konsep untuk meningkatkan pengetahuan latar belakang peserta didik kelas delapan dalam pembelajaran Bahasa Inggris di SMP Negeri 7 Gunungsitoli.
