Abstract

While existing literature highlights the affective and technical affordances of chatbots, limited attention has been given to their discursive and structural impact on classroom power relations and learner identity. To address this gap, this qualitative study draws upon four theoretical frameworks: Digital Empowerment (Passey, 2014), Communicative Competence (Hymes, 1972), Social Constructivism (Vygotsky, 1978), and Critical Discourse Analysis (van Dijk, 1998). Data were collected through semi-structured interviews with twelve EFL students who regularly engaged with AI chatbots as interactive speaking partners. Employing thematic and discourse analysis, the study identifies three significant findings. 1) Chatbots foster digital autonomy and enhance learner confidence by providing emotional safety, immediate feedback, and opportunities for self-regulated learning; 2) Students acknowledge that chatbot interactions often lack adequate sociolinguistic nuance and contextual sensitivity, limiting their effectiveness in fully authentic communication scenarios; and 3) The integration of chatbots into language practice represents a pedagogical shift that encourages active learner engagement and disrupts traditional teacher-centered classroom authority. Collectively, these findings indicate that chatbots transcend their roles as mere technological tools, actively influencing learners' sociocognitive experiences and identities. This research contributes theoretically by applying Critical Discourse Analysis to AI-mediated learning contexts and practically by guiding educators and chatbot developers toward creating inclusive, empowering, and learner-centered digital tools.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the differences in scientific literacy skills of fifth-grade students of SDN Unggulan Bontomanai Gowa who are taught using the Children Learning in Science (CLIS) model and the jigsaw cooperative model. The type of research used is a quasi-experimental with a pre-test-posttest nonequivalent control group design. The study population was all 88 fifth-grade students. Through a multistage random sampling technique, 15 students were selected in experimental class 1 taught with the CILS model, and 15 students in experimental class 2 taught with the jigsaw cooperative model. To measure students' scientific literacy skills, a multiple-choice test instrument was used. The data analysis techniques used were descriptive analysis and inferential analysis. The study result showed that the average score of the scientific literacy test results of students taught using CLIS model was 76, and the average score of the scientific literacy test results of students taught using the jigsaw cooperative model was 70. The results of the two-sample t-test showed a t value = 0.026 < 0.05. This indicates that Ha is accepted, which means there is a difference in the results of the scientific literacy test between students taught using CLIS model and the jigsaw cooperative model.

Abstract

This study aims to understand the form of father's attention, inhibiting and supporting factors, and the impact of father's awareness on children's religious development. The research method used is qualitative descriptive. Primary data was obtained from interviews with fishermen's fathers, while secondary data came from village profiles, journals, and related documents. Data analysis is carried out through data reduction, coding, presentation, and drawing conclusions. The results showed variations in the form of fatherly attention. There are fathers who pay great attention to the development of children's religion, but there are also those who leave it completely to the mother or teacher. Factors that inhibit father's consciousness include a lack of time and religious knowledge, while the supporting factors are the role of teachers and the existence of Islamic boarding schools. The impact of the father's lack of awareness is the lack of religious stimulation in the child. This study concludes the importance of education for fisherman fathers about the importance of providing religious education to early childhood. The implication of this research is the need for educational programs for educators and further research on the introduction of monotheism in early childhood. This research also provides a comprehensive overview of the situation on the ground and provides recommendations to improve the quality of religious education for children on Jinato Island
