Abstract

This study aims to determine the effect of flashcard media on the English vocabulary mastery of fourth-grade students at SDN Matayangan. The research employs a quantitative method with a One Group Pretest-Posttest design. A total of 24 students from class IV were selected as the research sample using total sampling technique. The research instrument consisted of 20 multiple-choice questions, which were administered both before and after the treatment to measure students’ vocabulary mastery. The treatment involved the use of flashcard media as a learning tool during English vocabulary lessons over a period of several sessions. The research findings show an improvement in the students’ vocabulary scores, with an average pretest score of 63.96 increasing to an average posttest score of 78.33. This indicates that students demonstrated better vocabulary understanding after being exposed to flashcard media. The data were analyzed using paired sample t-test through SPSS, which revealed a significance value of 0.000 (< 0.05). This result confirms that there is a statistically significant difference between the pretest and posttest scores. Therefore, it can be concluded that the use of flashcard media had a significant effect on students’ vocabulary mastery. The findings support previous research which suggests that visual media such as flashcards can enhance memory and retention, especially among young learners. The use of colorful and engaging flashcards helped students to associate words with images, making the learning process more effective and enjoyable. This study recommends that teachers incorporate flashcards into classroom instruction as an alternative strategy to improve students’ English vocabulary acquisition.

Abstract

In the context of educational reform in Indonesia, the implementation of the Merdeka Curriculum has brought significant changes over the past few decades. A crucial aspect of this transformation is the curriculum for students, aimed at equipping them with the knowledge and skills necessary to become productive members of society. Launched by the Ministry of Education in 2020, the Merdeka Curriculum emphasizes a more holistic and inclusive educational approach, focusing on student-centered learning and technology use. This study aims to analyze the alignment of the textbook "Bright An English" with the Merdeka Curriculum for second-grade junior high school students, identifying its strengths and weaknesses in supporting English language learning. A qualitative approach was employed, specifically through document analysis. This method is often used to analyze written or visual data to identify specific characteristics or materials, focusing on the English textbook "Bright An English". The analysis revealed that the textbook generally meets the English language competencies outlined in the Merdeka Curriculum. Students are able to engage with various types of texts and develop their language skills effectively. However, areas such as the integration of character values and cultural diversity in the teaching materials require improvement. The findings indicate that "Bright An English" is largely aligned with the Merdeka Curriculum, fulfilling many essential requirements. Despite some shortcomings, the textbook remains a valuable resource for teachers and students, and supplementary materials are recommended to enhance the learning experience. Overall, it provides a solid foundation for English language education at the junior high school level.
