Abstract

This study investigates the effect of using English songs on students' motivation in learning English at SMP Negeri 8 Gunungsitoli. Motivation plays an essential role in successful language learning, and integrating music as a medium is a creative strategy aligned with educational regulations to create engaging learning environments. The research employs a quantitative quasi- experimental design with a control and experimental group. Data were collected using questionnaires based on self-determination theory, focusing on students' autonomy, competence, and relatedness. Results indicate that the use of English songs significantly increases students' intrinsic motivation, enhancing their enthusiasm, confidence, and active participation in English learning activities. The results suggest that incorporating music into lessons can be an effective educational tool to foster motivation and improve language proficiency for junior high students. Relevant implications for teachers and educational institutions are discussed to optimize teaching strategies and learning outcomes.

Abstract

ABSTRACT This study aims to analyze the utilization of YouTube videos in English language learning and their impact on the development of students’ speaking skills amid the increasing use of digital media as learning resources. The integration of technology in language learning has become an important strategy to provide authentic materials and enhance students’ engagement in the learning process. This study employed a qualitative approach, with data collected through classroom observations, interviews with teachers and students, and analysis of instructional documents. The data were analyzed descriptively to obtain a comprehensive understanding of the practice of using YouTube videos in English language instruction. The findings indicate that the use of YouTube videos enhances students’ learning motivation and provides more authentic language exposure through examples of pronunciation, intonation, and expressions in real communication contexts. In addition, video-based learning creates greater opportunities for students to actively practice speaking through discussions, imitation activities, and content-based presentations. However, the study also identified several challenges, including limited internet access, variations in content quality, and potential distractions from other features on the digital platform. In synthesis, these findings confirm that YouTube videos are effective in supporting the development of speaking skills when they are integrated in a planned, selective, and pedagogically sound manner within English language teaching strategies. ABSTRAK Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis pemanfaatan video YouTube dalam pembelajaran bahasa Inggris serta dampaknya terhadap pengembangan keterampilan berbicara siswa di tengah meningkatnya penggunaan media digital sebagai sumber belajar. Integrasi teknologi dalam pembelajaran bahasa menjadi strategi penting untuk menghadirkan materi yang autentik dan meningkatkan keterlibatan siswa dalam proses belajar. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan teknik pengumpulan data melalui observasi pembelajaran, wawancara dengan guru dan siswa, serta analisis dokumen pembelajaran. Data dianalisis secara deskriptif untuk memperoleh gambaran komprehensif mengenai praktik penggunaan video YouTube dalam pembelajaran. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pemanfaatan video YouTube meningkatkan motivasi belajar serta memberikan paparan bahasa yang lebih autentik melalui contoh pelafalan, intonasi, dan ekspresi dalam konteks komunikasi nyata. Selain itu, penggunaan video membuka peluang bagi siswa untuk berlatih berbicara secara aktif melalui diskusi, imitasi, dan presentasi berbasis konten. Namun, penelitian ini juga mengidentifikasi kendala berupa keterbatasan akses internet, variasi kualitas konten, dan potensi distraksi dari fitur lain pada platform digital. Secara sintesis, temuan ini menegaskan bahwa video YouTube efektif dalam mendukung pengembangan keterampilan berbicara apabila diintegrasikan secara terencana, selektif, dan pedagogis dalam strategi pembelajaran bahasa Inggris.

Abstract

ABSTRACT This study is motivated by the low learning outcomes in Pancasila Education, which are not yet supported by optimal learning interest and the use of innovative and contextual learning media. This study aims to analyze the effect of learning interest and pop-up book media on students’ learning outcomes. The method used is quantitative with an associative approach through multiple linear regression analysis. The sample consisted of 26 students selected using total sampling technique. The research instruments included a Likert-scale questionnaire to measure learning interest and media usage, as well as multiple-choice tests to assess learning outcomes. Data analysis was conducted systematically to examine the relationships and the magnitude of influence among variables more efficiently. The results showed that learning interest and pop-up book media, both simultaneously and partially, have a significant effect on students’ learning outcomes. The contribution of these two variables to learning outcomes was 56.3%, while 43.7% was influenced by other factors outside the study. These findings indicate that optimizing learning interest supported by contextual learning media can significantly enhance learning effectiveness.

Abstract

Pembelajaran Ilmu Pengetahuan Alam (IPA) menuntut siswa tidak hanya menguasai materi, tetapi juga mampu memahami konsep secara mendalam melalui aktivitas ilmiah dan keterlibatan aktif dalam proses belajar. Namun, hasil observasi di SMP Swasta Masyarakat Damai menunjukkan bahwa pemahaman konsep IPA siswa masih rendah, ditandai dengan nilai rata-rata hasil belajar di bawah KKM, partisipasi belajar yang pasif, serta kurangnya kemampuan mengaplikasikan konsep dalam kehidupan sehari-hari. Kondisi ini disebabkan oleh penggunaan metode pembelajaran konvensional yang berpusat pada guru. Oleh karena itu, penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis efektivitas model pembelajaran kooperatif tipe Jigsaw dalam meningkatkan pemahaman konsep IPA siswa kelas VII. Penelitian menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif dengan metode pre-experimental dan desain One-Group Pretest-Posttest. Sampel penelitian adalah 32 siswa kelas VII-A yang dipilih melalui purposive sampling. Instrumen berupa tes objektif untuk mengukur pemahaman konsep IPA. Analisis data meliputi perhitungan skor pemahaman konsep dan uji N-Gain. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan adanya peningkatan signifikan pada pemahaman konsep IPA siswa. Rata-rata nilai pre-test sebesar 59,53 meningkat menjadi 75,62 pada post-test. Persentase kategori “baik” meningkat dari 40,62% menjadi 87,50% dan muncul kategori “sangat baik” sebesar 3,12%. Nilai N-Gain sebesar 0,38 termasuk dalam kategori efektivitas sedang. Selain itu, peningkatan terjadi pada semua indikator pemahaman konsep, yaitu menjelaskan, menerapkan, mengelompokkan, dan merepresentasikan konsep IPA. Temuan ini membuktikan bahwa model pembelajaran kooperatif tipe Jigsaw efektif dalam meningkatkan pemahaman konsep IPA melalui aktivitas kolaboratif, interaksi kelompok, dan tanggung jawab individu dalam menguasai materi. Dengan demikian, model Jigsaw dapat menjadi alternatif strategi pembelajaran yang relevan dan direkomendasikan untuk meningkatkan kualitas pembelajaran IPA di SMP.
