Abstract

Feedback is necessary to measure whether students have understood well the lesson that has been delivered. Students should be given feedback to help them become autonomous learners who can regulate aspects of their thinking, motivation, and behaviour during learning. The study aimed to find out how feedback is implemented by the teacher based on Nicol’s framework and to find out students’ perceptions towards the application of formative assessment. A questionnaire was administered to get the data on how feedback that facilitates students’ self-regulation is implemented at MA Negeri 2 Kota Palu. Further, an in-depth interview was used to get students’ perception towards the implementation of feedback. The questionnaire showed that the implementation of feedback at MA Negeri 2 Kota Palu helps clarify what good performance is, facilitates the development of self-assessment in learning, delivers high quality information to students about their learning, encourages teacher and peer dialogue around learning, encourages positive motivational beliefs and self-esteem, and provides opportunities to close the gap between current and desired performance. The interview revealed that students have positive perception towards the feedback implemented by the teacher.

Abstract

This research examines how well eighth-grade students at SMP Negeri 7 Sigi improve their reading comprehension skills through Project-Based Learning (PjBL). Reading comprehension is one of the most important skills for students learning English as a foreign language (EFL). However, the lack of vocabulary, low motivation, and inefficient teaching strategies cause problems for many students. PjBL is used as a student-centered learning strategy to address this issue. This research applied a quasi-experimental approach, with a control group learning conventionally and an experimental group using PjBL. Pre-tests and post-tests were used to gather information about students' reading comprehension development. The average score of the experimental group increased from 34.37 to 49.28, showing a substantial improvement, while the control group increased from 35.82 to 46.38. A p-value of 0.001, which is less than 0.05, was obtained through statistical analysis using an independent sample T-test, indicating that the improvement in the experimental group is statistically significant. This study shows that PjBL can improve students' reading comprehension by encouraging active learning, collaboration, and critical thinking. Based on this, the researchers recommend applying PjBL in English language teaching to create a more engaging and meaningful learning experience.

Abstract

Pelaksanaan pengabdian ini didasari pada beberapa hasil penelitian sebelumnya yang mengungkapkan bahwa pembelajaran bahasa Inggris terhadap peserta didik kurang menggembirakan karena para peserta didik menganggap bahwa pelajaran bahasa Inggris itu sulit dipahami dan dimengerti. Hasil penelitian yang dilakukan oleh Tambunsaribu, G. et.al (2021) mengungkapkan bahwa faktor penyebab masalah internal peserta didik itu sendiri dimana 77 % respondent yang mengatakan bahasa Inggris itu dianggap membingungkan dan sulit dipelajari. Dua puluh dua percent (22 %) respondent mengatakan materi berbicara (speaking) sulit dipelajari. Selain dari pada temuan penelitian di atas, hasil pengamatan pengabdi sendiri pada beberapa mahasiswa pada program studi di lingkungan Fakultas Keguruan dan Ilmu Pendidikan, menemukan bahwa mahasiswa mengalami kesulitan mempelajari dan memahami bahasa Inggris, mungkin disebabkan oleh belum berkesesuaian strategi atau teknik pembelajaran bahasa Inggris yang mendorong mahasiswa untuk mengetahuinya dan merasa senang belajar. Oleh karena itu, melalui kesempatan ini, pengabdi melakukan pengabdian dalam bentuk pelatihan yaitu menawarkan suatu pendekatan atau teknik yang dapat membantu peserta didik atau mahasiswa mengurangi kebingungan dan kesulitan yang dirasakan selama ini. Pengabdi menawarkan pelatihan dengan menggunakan salah satu pembelajaran kooperatif dalam kelompok kecil, yaitu berpasang-pasangan dalam mengemukakan ide, pikiran masing-masing sesuai dengan apa yang dikehendaki oleh pasangannya. Hasil penelitian Susanti dan Linaris (2021) mengungkap bahwa siswa yang menggunakan metode diskusi kelompok kecil memiliki lebih banyak kesempatan untuk berkontribusi dalam diskusi kelas. Selanjutnya hasil penelitian mereka, juga mengungkap bahwa salah satu strategi atau teknik yang dapat membantu siswa dalam meningkatkan keterampilan berkomunikasi adalah melalui diskusi kelompok kecil. Temuan-temuan penelitian dan hasil pengamatan tersebut, membuat para pengabdi akan memperaktikkan salah satu strategi atau teknik diskusi kelompok kecil, yaitu terdiri dari 2 (dua) orang saling bercakap-cakap (berbicara) sesuai dengan tema bahasa Inggris yang diberikan. Teknik pembelajaran dalam pelatihan ini adalah ‘Information Gap Activities (IGA)’ dimana masing-masing mahasiswa mempunyai peran. Oleh karena itu, tahapan pelaksanaan dalam pelatihan ini dimulai dari pengumpulan bahan pelatihan berupa topik-topik percakapan bahasa Inggris yang sesuai dengan kebutuhan mahasiswa, kemudian mahasiswa berlatih dengan memberikan kesempatan yang sama kepada masing-masing pasangan untuk memperaktikkannya sesuai peran masing-masing, dan pada akhir pelatihan, instruktur (pengabdi) memberikan penguatan tentang kegiatan yang telah dilakukan untuk menambah wawasan tentang apa yang telah diperaktikkan. Melalui pelatihan ini diharapkan dapat meningkatkan rasa ingin tahu mahasiswa, menambah pengetahuan bahasa Inggris, sehingga dengan sadar mempraktikkan sendiri bersama temannya melalui percakapan bahasa Inggris yang sehari-hari mahasiswa gunakan dan alami.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the effectiveness of the circle game in improving the vocabulary mastery of eighth-grade students at SMP Labschool Untad Palu. The background of this study is the low mastery of English vocabulary among students, which affects their ability in four basic English skills. The researcher applied the circle game as an engaging learning strategy to overcome this issue. The research employed a pre-experimental design with one group pre-test and post-test. The sample consisted of 19 students from class VIII. The research instrument was a vocabulary test in the form of multiple-choice questions, administered before and after the treatment. The findings showed that the students’ vocabulary mastery significantly improved after the implementation of the circle game. The average score of the pre-test was 60.35, while the post-test average rose to 78.60. The gain score was 18.25. Based on the paired sample t-test result, the significance value was 0.000, which is lower than the standard alpha value of 0.05. This means that the improvement is statistically significant. These findings prove that the use of the circle game has a positive impact on students’ vocabulary acquisition. In addition to the quantitative results, qualitative observations indicated that students were more enthusiastic, confident, and active during the learning process. The atmosphere in the classroom became more dynamic and supportive, which encouraged students to participate and use English vocabulary in a fun and relaxed way.

Abstract

This research aims to investigate the effect of Augmented Reality (AR) on students’ vocabulary mastery among seventh-grade students at SMP Negeri 19 Palu. Vocabulary is a fundamental aspect of language learning, yet many students struggle to master it due to lack of motivation and conventional teaching methods. To address this problem, the researcher applied AR-based learning using the Assemble Edu application, which provides 3D visuals and interactive features to improve engagement. This study used a quasi-experimental method with two groups: an experimental class that received AR-based instruction and a control class that received traditional instruction. Both classes were given a pre-test and post-test to measure vocabulary mastery. The results showed a significant improvement in the experimental class, with an average post-test score of 82.00, compared to 59.80 in the pre-test. Meanwhile, the control class only increased from 63.00 to 72.40. Statistical analysis using SPSS showed that the difference between the two groups was significant (Sig. 2-tailed = 0.001), indicating that AR had a strong positive effect on vocabulary acquisition. These findings support previous research showing that AR enhances motivation, memory retention, and contextual understanding in language learning. The use of AR aligns with constructivist learning theory and supports the Merdeka Curriculum, which emphasizes student-centered and technology-integrated learning. In conclusion, AR-based learning can effectively improve students’ vocabulary mastery and is recommended as a modern instructional strategy in English language teaching
