Abstract

Authentic learning materials (ALM) are recognized for providing meaningful and engaging educational experiences. However, there is a lack of extensive research examining the relationship between authentic learning materials, students’ intrinsic motivation, and their listening skills. This study addresses this gap by employing a quantitative method through the distribution of a 35-item Likert scale questionnaire to junior high school students in Batam. The questionnaire aimed to assess students’ attitudes and perceptions regarding the use of authentic materials in their English classes. The results from 30 students indicated that authentic learning materials positively influence student engagement, intrinsic motivation, and cultural awareness. These materials were found to enhance students' interest and participation in learning activities by making the content more relatable and applicable to real-life situations. The study also highlighted some challenges, such as difficulties in comprehension and issues with classroom dynamics, which could impact the overall effectiveness of these materials. Despite these challenges, the data suggest that authentic learning materials effectively bridge the gap between classroom learning and real-world language use. This connection fosters a sense of achievement and satisfaction among students, as they can see the practical application of their language skills. Thus, incorporating authentic materials into the curriculum can provide significant benefits, enhancing the overall learning experience and motivation of students in the English classroom.

Abstract

This research revisits the washback concept in Indonesia’s education system, specifically focusing on the impact of national standardized tests on teaching and learning practices. In Indonesia, high-stakes testing, such as the national examination, has been used to assess educational quality, often influencing curriculum design, teaching methods, and student motivation. The research highlights how such examinations can narrow the curriculum, encourage teaching to the test, and place undue pressure on stakeholders, including teachers and students. Drawing from research conducted in Indonesia and globally, the research also discusses the need for further investigations to develop assessment models that promote positive washback effects. This shift opens opportunities for rethinking assessments that support holistic learning and skill development. The research concludes by emphasizing the importance of well-designed assessments in fostering positive educational outcomes and improving the quality of education in Indonesia.

Abstract

Toddlers are a group vulnerable to health problems, especially malnutrition, considering the rapid growth and development phase at this time. Malnutrition in toddlers can have a severe impact on the child's brain development and intelligence and can even result in death. An observational study in Dono Mulyo Village, Way Kanan Regency, Lampung, in May 2024 found three cases of underweight toddlers out of 95 toddlers observed. Handling this problem, including providing additional food, is essential. Community practice activities aim to overcome the problem of underweight toddlers by giving extra food, educating mothers about the importance of balanced nutrition for toddlers, and increasing mothers' knowledge about balanced nutrition for toddlers. The method used is counselling to mothers of toddlers. Activities are carried out in several stages: preparation, implementation of activities, evaluation, and preparation of reports. Knowledge assessment is carried out by giving a pretest before counselling and a posttest after counselling. Apart from that, toddler feeding patterns are measured as a result of changes in attitudes, which is done with the Child Feeding Questionnaire (CFQ). The results of community practice activities show that outreach activities can increase mothers' knowledge about the importance of balanced nutrition for toddlers and demonstrate accuracy in toddler feeding patterns.

Abstract

This study investigates the impact of Differentiated Instruction (DI) within the Merdeka Curriculum on teaching strategies and students’ learning motivation in an English classroom at a public senior high school. A qualitative descriptive case study design was employed involving two English teachers and twelve students. Data were collected through classroom observations, interviews, and documentation. The findings indicate that teachers implemented DI through four main dimensions: content, process, product, and learning environment. Various strategies such as group discussions, project-based learning, and interactive activities were applied to accommodate students’ diverse abilities. The implementation of DI enhanced students’ engagement, confidence, and participation in English learning. However, challenges such as limited time, lack of diagnostic assessment skills, and insufficient training affected the consistency of implementation. Overall, DI contributes positively to student-centered learning and increases learning motivation, although further professional development is needed for optimal implementation.
