Abstract

Background: Regular physical activity is essential for maintaining health and well-being among older adults. However, despite policy efforts, sport participation among older adults in Aceh remains low, particularly in rural areas. This condition reflects a lack of empirical evidence on how village-level sports programmes are planned, implemented, and evaluated. Objectives: This study aims to evaluate the planning, implementation and evaluation of village-level sports programmes for older adults in Aceh. Methods: A qualitative multiple case study was conducted involving 12 village leaders selected through purposive sampling. Data was collected through semi-structured interviews, observations, and document analysis and analysed using thematic analysis procedures. Results: The findings revealed that the village-level sports programmes are not systematically planned, consistently implemented or critically evaluated. The village-level government dependency on previous programmes, socio-demographic and participant constraints, conceptual and cultural barriers, budget prioritisation bias and informal substitution to the formal planning are the reasons for the programme planning failure. It is implemented mostly event-based, and no evaluation is conducted systematically. Conclusion: The study demonstrates that village-level sports programmes for older adults in Aceh are largely unstructured and lack sustainability due to weak planning and evaluation systems. Strengthening governance and institutional support are essential to improve programme effectiveness.

Abstract

There is a possibility that the Acehnese language and other locally used languages in Aceh Province could become threatened if the locals do not make efforts to maintain them. This study aims to explore teachers perspectives on maintaining the Acehnese mother tongue in schools. Employing a mixed-methods research design, data was collected through surveys and semi-structured interviews. The survey was distributed via Google Forms to 217 schoolteachers selected through voluntary sampling in Aceh, while interviews were conducted with seven teachers who willingly participated in the study. The results indicate that most teachers agree on maintaining the use of local languages in schools. However, language maintenance may face challenges e.g., globalization, family role, and youth attitude. Hence, teachers recommend that schools should actively promote the use of local languages by designating a special day for celebrating their use and incorporating the languages into local content lessons. This study intends to provide insightful recommendations for policy development regarding the maintenance of local languages in the school setting, particularly in Aceh. It also suggests educational implications, such as integrating these languages into formal schooling and developing educational resources to enhance their use in schools. Furthermore, future research could focus on documenting and preserving local languages, as well as implementing language immersion programs aimed at preserving local languages in Aceh.

Abstract

Skor literasi Indonesia pada PISA 2022 turun 12 poin menjadi 359, menempatkan negara ini di peringkat 62 dari 72 peserta. Penurunan ini menyoroti pentingnya peningkatan keterampilan Membaca Kritis, terutama di Provinsi Aceh, di mana siswa sekolah menengah menghadapi tantangan dalam berpikir kritis akibat kesenjangan kemampuan, tingkat membaca, dan minat membaca yang rendah. Keberhasilan pengajaran diferensiasi juga bergantung pada keterlibatan siswa, sehingga diperlukan strategi inovatif untuk meningkatkan partisipasi mereka. Oleh karena itu, penelitian ini bertujuan meningkatkan keterampilan membaca kritis siswa melalui differentiated Instruction yang dikombinasikan dengan gamifikasi dalam pembelajaran bahasa Inggris. Pendekatan kuantitatif dengan eksperimen sebenarnya digunakan dalam penelitian ini. Sampel terdiri dari siswa kelas 11 dari tiga sekolah di Aceh, yang dipilih secara acak menjadi kelompok kontrol dan eksperimen. Instrumen yang digunakan meliputi tes membaca kritis berbasis SAT dan kuesioner persepsi siswa. Hasil analisis uji-t dengan SPSS menunjukkan bahwa kelompok eksperimen mengalami peningkatan keterampilan membaca yang signifikan dibandingkan kelompok kontrol. Selain itu, kuesioner menunjukkan hasil positif, seperti peningkatan keterlibatan siswa, pemahaman materi yang lebih baik, dan instruksi yang lebih jelas dari guru dengan pendekatan gamifikasi. Penelitian ini diharapkan berkontribusi pada strategi pengajaran yang lebih efektif, khususnya dalam meningkatkan keterampilan membaca kritis melalui pengajaran diferensiasi yang terintegrasi dengan gamifikasi di sekolah menengah.AbstractIndonesia’s PISA 2022 literacy score dropped by 12 points to 359, ranking 62 out of 72 countries, highlighting the need for continued focus on Critical Reading. High schools in Aceh face challenges in enhancing students’ critical thinking due to disparities in ability, reading levels, and interest. The success of differentiated instruction (DI) also depends on student engagement, making it crucial to integrate gamification to boost participation.This study aims to improve students’ critical reading skills through gamified DI in English learning. A quantitative true-experimental design was used, involving 11th-grade students from three randomly selected schools in Aceh: SMAN 1 Blangpegayon, SMAN 1 Pidie Jaya, and SMAN Kota Bahagia. Students were divided into control and experimental groups. Instruments included an SAT-based critical reading test and a questionnaire measuring student perceptions. Data analysis using t-tests and SPSS percentage analysis showed that the experimental group significantly outperformed the control group, with higher post-test scores. The questionnaire also revealed positive feedback, such as increased engagement, better comprehension, and clearer teacher instructions. This study contributes to effective high school teaching strategies by integrating gamification with DI to enhance critical reading skills, ultimately addressing literacy challenges in Aceh.

Abstract

Purpose - This study aims to explore the perceptions of English as a Foreign Language (EFL) teachers regarding the use of parliamentary debate as a classroom instruction in Aceh, a Sharia-governed province in Indonesia. It investigates whether the assumption of Islamic-based education restricts the use of debate as a tool to enhance critical thinking. This investigation aimed to fill the research gaps where exploration had not been conducted yet.Methodology - A quantitative descriptive survey design was employed to collect data from 252 EFL teachers across general and Islamic secondary schools in Aceh. A structured, closed-ended questionnaire (using a Likert scale) was administered, selected through stratified random sampling based on specific criteria. The instrument was developed to assess three matrices they are (1) the understanding, (2) acceptance, and (3) evaluation. The data was then analyzed for Mean and Standard Deviation.Findings - The findings indicated a positive attitude toward integrating debate into classroom teaching tools for either critical thinking or language proficiency development. However, aligning the debate topics with Aceh's socio-religious norms is necessary to avoid overly liberal or sensitive issues that may be perceived as offensive. Although there is a strong acceptance of debate in the classroom and an understanding of the debate's nature, the teachers' procedural understanding of the debate remains lacking.Contribution - These findings suggest that the adoption of parliamentary debate in Aceh's EFL classrooms necessitates adjustments, indicating that Western teaching models, such as debate, must be localized within Islamic educational frameworks.

Abstract

This study aims to explore English teaching strategies and the obstacles faced by teachers in rural secondary schools in Aceh Singkil Regency. The study uses a qualitative approach with a multiple case study design, involving three English teachers from three different schools as participants. Data were collected through classroom observations and in-depth interviews, then analyzed thematically. The results showed that teachers applied flexible and adaptive teaching strategies, combining teacher-centered and student-centered approaches, using various learning models such as Discovery Learning, Direct Instruction, and Cooperative Learning, as well as varied learning methods, techniques, and media. This approach helped teachers tailor learning to students' abilities and needs, as well as limited classroom conditions. However, there were several obstacles that affected the effectiveness of learning, including limited facilities, minimal learning resources, challenges in developing teacher competencies, and low student motivation and participation. These obstacles underscore the importance of institutional and government support to improve infrastructure, provide learning resources, and enhance professional training for teachers. This study makes an important contribution to understanding English language teaching practices in rural contexts and shows how teachers can adapt in limited conditions. The results of this study can also serve as a reference for educators, researchers, and policymakers in designing more effective learning strategies in rural schools.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the preferences of undergraduate English students in Aceh in utilizing social media as a secondary learning resource in English learning. The study used a descriptive quantitative approach with data collection techniques through questionnaires distributed to English students from several universities in Aceh. Data were analyzed descriptively to identify the types of platforms used, the purposes of use, and students' perceptions of the benefits of social media in language learning. The results show that social media plays a significant role as a supplementary learning resource outside of formal classroom learning. The most frequently used platforms include WhatsApp, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Facebook, Telegram, and X, which are used for vocabulary development, listening and speaking practice, reading improvement, and writing skills. Students tend to choose platforms that are easily accessible, interactive, flexible, and provide authentic English content. These findings confirm that the use of social media encourages the development of digital literacy and student learning autonomy. This study provides an empirical contribution to the development of technology-based English learning strategies and serves as a reference for educators and educational institutions in integrating social media more effectively in the learning process.
