Abstract

This research aimed to examine the significant influence of KWL (know-want-learn) strategy and students’ reading habits on the reading comprehension achievement of eighth-grade students at Salsabila Islamic School Palembang. The study adopted a quantitative approach using an experimental method with a factorial design. The population comprised 120 students from four eighth-grade classes in the academic year 2024–2025. A total of 60 students were selected as the sample through purposive sampling, divided equally into two groups: 30 students in the experimental group and 30 in the control group. Data were collected using two primary instruments: questionnaires and reading comprehension tests. The questionnaire, distributed during both pre-test and post-test phases, aimed to measure students’ reading motivation. The comprehension tests consisted of 25 multiple-choice questions with four answer options, administered before and after the treatment. The experimental group received instruction using the KWL strategy, while the control group was taught through conventional methods. The data analysis involved paired sample t-tests, independent sample t-tests, and two-way ANOVA, all processed using SPSS version 23. The results of hypothesis testing showed that all p-values were below the 0.05 significance level, indicating statistically significant differences. Consequently, all alternative hypotheses were accepted, and the null hypotheses were rejected. The findings indicate that the KWL strategy significantly enhances students’ reading comprehension. In addition to improving comprehension scores, the strategy also increased student engagement and learning motivation. These results support the integration of KWL as an effective instructional technique in English language teaching, particularly in developing reading proficiency among junior high school students.

Abstract

This article examines the integration of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) within Indonesia's education system through multiple theoretical frameworks. Despite national initiatives such as Merdeka Belajar and Digitalisasi Sekolah, the implementation of ICT continues to face systemic barriers including infrastructure inequality, teacher preparedness, and fragmented policy execution. Utilizing a qualitative, literature-based approach, the study analyzes ICT integration through the lenses of Diffusion of Innovation, TPACK, SAMR, Constructivism, and Connectivism. These frameworks illuminate the sociocultural, pedagogical, and technological factors shaping ICT adoption in Indonesia’s diverse educational landscape. The findings underscore the need for locally responsive strategies that prioritize sustainable teacher professional development, inclusive infrastructure expansion, stakeholder collaboration, and context-sensitive policy formulation. Furthermore, the article outlines key benefits of ICT—such as enhanced access to information, personalized learning, and 21st-century skill development—while critically examining barriers rooted in inequities and institutional limitations. Practical strategies are proposed to address these challenges, including digital professional learning communities, culturally relevant content development, and innovation incentives. The study concludes by identifying future research directions, including longitudinal studies, inclusive practices, and policy evaluation. By offering a multidimensional perspective, this article contributes to ongoing discourse on how to bridge the digital divide and foster more equitable, effective ICT integration in Indonesian education.

Abstract

Using multimedia and interactive tools in reading instruction has become more popular as a way to improve student engagement and understanding in an increasingly digital educational environment. The effectiveness of these digital resources which include interactive apps, educational games, and e-books in enhancing reading abilities across a range of learner profiles is investigated in this paper. This study synthesizes information from 35 peer-reviewed articles published between 2020 and 2024 using a qualitative research methodology. The review demonstrates the potential of multimedia technologies to create a more dynamic learning environment by highlighting important advantages including improved motivation, comprehension, and differentiation of instruction. The study does, however, also address some significant shortcomings, such as teacher readiness, content quality, equity concerns, cognitive overload, and reliance on technology. In order to optimize learning outcomes, these criteria highlight the need for thorough educator training and fair access to digital resources. This article offers insightful information for educators and government official who want to incorporate technology in a way that promotes reading development by outlining both its advantages and disadvantages. The results imply that although multimedia tools have the potential to revolutionize literacy instruction, their application needs to be carefully considered to guarantee the best possible learning outcomes.

Abstract

This study investigates how junior high school students can improve their command of English vocabulary by using the Duolingo program. It tackles the problem of low vocabulary retention and student involvement that is frequently present in conventional language training. The purpose of the study is to find out how students view Duolingo as a gamified learning resource and what factors affect how well it helps them learn new words. A descriptive analysis approach was used, based on the results of several recent empirical investigations. The findings demonstrate how Duolingo greatly enhances students' learner autonomy, contextual usage, and vocabulary retention. More incentive and active engagement are encouraged by its gamified features, which include level progression, point systems, and rapid feedback. Compared to traditional techniques, students said using Duolingo to learn vocabulary felt more fun and less taxing. Additionally, the multimodal information on the platform accommodates different learning styles, and its adaptability promotes self-directed learning. However, other issues were also noted, like the need for teacher direction and digital inequality. The conversation focuses on Duolingo's contribution to raising student participation in class and encouraging proactive rather than passive behavior. In conclusion, Duolingo is a useful addition to vocabulary training in junior high EFL classes. It improves language learning results and encourages self-directed learning when carefully included into a blended learning framework. Its long-term effects and uses in many educational contexts are encouraged to be investigated in future studies.

Abstract

This study was a quasi-experimental research and oriented to measure the effectiveness for student-teachers’ reading comprehension achievement. There were 80 student-teachers who joined and were grouped into experimental and control groups. They were treated for eight meetings. Both pretest and posttest instruments were integrated for collecting the data. Both paired and independent t-tests were employed to know improvement of the two groups. The findings showed that in pretest, both of groups encountered problems related to reading comprehension. However, after being treated with this Schoology learning management system (LMS) for several meetings, experimental group students gained better achievement in reading comprehension comparing to control group. Mean scores of experimental group (75.250) was bigger than control group gained (61.875). By the same token, the F-test score (0.392) with df (78) and sig. value (0.000) informed about different qualities gained by both groups, i.e., experimental and control. In a nutshell, the integration of Schoology LMS is more effective in increasing students’ reading comprehension comparing to conventional mode of learning.

Abstract

The enhancement or modification of instructional materials is essential to ensure their effectiveness as teaching aids. For the purpose of improving the quality of instructional materials and making them more appealing to educators and students alike, a comprehensive approach must be taken that considers both the content and the form of the materials. In order to make the module an attractive teaching material, it is imperative to enhance its quality. This study aimed to identify the optimal approach for developing an English grammar instructional material based on the constructivist theory and to assess its validity. The research employed a research and development method using the DDR model. The study findings reveal that the English grammar subject 1 module, containing basic and simple materials, is the most suitable form for developing an instructional material oriented to constructivism theory. Additionally, the presentation of the module is clear and well-organized, the language used is easily comprehensible, and the module's structure is user-friendly and engaging. Furthermore, the validation results demonstrate that the developed module is highly effective as an instructional material for teaching English grammar, attesting to its overall quality.
