Based on the result of this program, the teachers are very satisfied with the information shared by the team. They also can use the formula well.

Abstract

Note taking is an vital academic skill. Van de Meer, (2012) points out that “Note - taking in lectures is often taken to be the distinguishing characteristic of learning at university”. Note-taking brings high effectiveness on comprehension. Kiewra, (1991) indicates that taking notes during lessons helps students understand what is taught easier and then they can reach the objectives of the course more comfortable.        The majority of  students have difficulties to follow listening activity. They felt under pressure to understand every word. It means that the students have difficulty in catching the information from the speaker S. Sumihatul,(2012) states many factors that the student feels difficult when studying listening in English, for example: material too fast to be heard to forget what they have heard listen, don't know the meaning of the spoken English word or heard because of the limited English vocabulary they have, not concentrating on the material being heard, not understanding orders explain verbally, lazy in learning or no motivation to learn, and many more factors. As a result, the students have hearing problem and most of them have low motivation to learn listening             Moreover, note-taking is also very helpful for students as a strategic way to catch the points of what they listen. The note becomes a material which they use to recall what teachers and professors have explain to them. Milligan (2014) explains note-taking as an effective way in the learning process because through note-taking students can incorporate a lot of sense. For example, students need sharp thinking and listening skills to determine important information to note.        It is known that students need something to help improve their listening skills. Therefore, this study tries to find out the students' perceptions of the use of note taking on their listening skills. It is hoped that by knowing the results of this study, it can be referred to and the information investigated in depth in the future to find some possible strategies that can be recommended to students to improve their listening.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the cognitive levels of reading test items based on the 2013 Curriculum and the Merdeka Curriculum, with a particular focus on Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS). This research employed a qualitative descriptive method with document analysis as the main approach. The data were obtained from the final semester examination of grade XII students, consisting of 47 reading test items from the 2013 Curriculum (academic year 2022/2023) and 37 reading test items from the Merdeka Curriculum (academic year 2024/2025). The analysis was conducted using the Revised Bloom’s Taxonomy framework, which classifies cognitive levels into C1–C3 (Lower Order Thinking Skills/LOTS) and C4–C6 (HOTS: analyzing, evaluating, and creating). The findings reveal that the 2013 Curriculum contains 14 HOTS items (12 analyzing and 2 evaluating), while the Merdeka Curriculum contains 13 HOTS items (10 analyzing and 3 evaluating). These results indicate that both curricula integrate HOTS in reading assessments, although with different distributions. Despite their relatively limited proportion, the presence of HOTS items reflects the curricula’s attention to developing students’ critical, analytical, and evaluative thinking skills. Therefore, it is suggested that teachers enhance both the quality and quantity of HOTS-based questions to better prepare students for the demands of 21st-century learning.

Abstract

The use of gamification in English language learning has become increasingly significant, particularly through application-based interactive media such as Kahoot! which is considered effective in fostering an enjoyable learning environment and enhancing students’ motivation and engagement. However, studies examining students’ perceptions of Kahoot! implementation at the high school level, especially in West Sumatera, remain limited. This study aims to investigate students’ perceptions of the use of Kahoot! by an English teacher at SMAN 1 Sitiung. A qualitative case study design was employed, involving five twelfth-grade students selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected through structured in-depth interviews and analyzed using an interactive qualitative analysis model focusing on effectiveness, competitiveness, and ease of use. The findings reveal that students hold positive perceptions of Kahoot! as it promotes an enjoyable learning environment, encourages healthy competition, and is easy to use and access both inside and outside the classroom. In conclusion, Kahoot! is an effective gamification tool that supports student engagement and motivation in English learning.

Abstract

The changing landscape of reading in the digital era has significantly reshaped students’ reading behaviours, making it an essential area of academic inquiry. Despite extensive research on literacy, limited studies have comprehensively examined how shifting media environments influence students’ reading preferences alongside the underlying factors driving these changes. This study aims to analyze students’ reading preferences and investigate the factors affecting their choices in academic reading practices. Employing a quantitative descriptive design for reading preferences and qualitative design for affecting factors. The data were collected through a structured questionnaire administered to 154 university students and analyzed using descriptive statistical techniques to identify patterns of reading preferences and interview to see the influencing factors. The findings reveal that students tend to prefer digital reading materials because of their accessibility, convenience, flexibility, and multimedia features. However, printed materials remain important for deep comprehension, concentration, and long-duration reading. The study also found that technological familiarity, academic workload, time efficiency, personal motivation, and accessibility significantly influence students’ reading preferences. The novelty of this study lies in its comprehensive examination of both reading format preferences and the multidimensional factors shaping students’ reading behaviour within contemporary academic contexts. The study highlights the importance of integrating digital and print resources in higher education to support diverse learning needs and promote more effective literacy development strategies.
