Abstract

This study aims to design a culturally-based English textbook for Performing Arts Education students. The research applies Culturally Relevant Pedagogy (CRP) and Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) to the ADDIE framework to improve English competence and local culture appreciation. A needs analysis of 36 students found that 82.35% have basic English skills and low speaking confidence. Multimedia elements, culturally relevant themes, and practical ways integrating English learning to artistic surroundings were popular with students. Experts validated content relevancy and linguistic accuracy but suggested simplifying idioms and adding cultural examples for accessibility. Two chapters' initial trials were moderately effective, scoring 3.39 for relevance and 3.89 for clarity. Changes improved cultural integration and interactivity. Two trials with six amended chapters showed considerable gains in clarity and relevance, scoring 4.53 and 4.17, respectively. Contextual vocabulary, realistic grammar exercises, and local-global cultural balance impressed students. The study found that CRP and CLIL in ESP materials improve English and cultural awareness. Long-term effects and digital tools for accessibility and interaction should be further explored.

Abstract

Many teachers struggle to utilize technology to create interactive, creative, and innovative learning media. They often face challenges in selecting and using the wide variety of available learning tools, which leads them to rely on traditional methods such as textbooks. Additionally, the lack of skills in using technology-based media, such as infographics, hinders their ability to enhance the quality of teaching in line with the demands of the digital era. This study aims to describe the implementation of infographic training as an alternative learning media at SMPN Satap 2 Palangka Raya. The training was designed to enhance teachers' competencies in utilizing information technology, especially within the limitations of available resources. Using the Assets-Based Community Development (ABCD) approach, the training leveraged existing facilities such as school laptops, smartphones, and premium Canva accounts. The training activities included an introduction to infographic design, hands-on practice with Canva, intensive mentoring, and an exhibition of participants' works. The results indicate that the training was conducted as planned with active teacher participation, despite technical challenges such as limited internet connectivity. This training also highlighted the importance of sustained support, such as providing adequate technological infrastructure by schools and local governments, to improve the effectiveness of similar programs in the future.

Abstract

This study explores how students perceive the implementation of the Pancasila Student Profile Strengthening (P5) program under the theme of Local Wisdom, focusing on both the positive and negative aspects experienced in classroom and project activities. The research used a descriptive qualitative approach involving 30 students from class XI SAINTEK 3 at SMAN 5 Palangka Raya. Data were obtained through questionnaires and interviews to capture a broader and more personal view of their learning experiences. Findings show that 63% of students expressed positive perceptions toward P5, while 37% viewed it less favorably. Students who responded positively described P5 as enjoyable and meaningful, particularly because they could engage directly with cultural practices and teamwork activities that reflected Pancasila values. In contrast, others noted issues such as unclear instructions, lack of organization, and additional material costs, which made the experience less engaging. These differences highlight that while the P5 program supports cultural appreciation and character development, its success depends greatly on facilitation, communication, and resource support. The study suggests that better planning, teacher guidance, and collaboration with local communities are needed to enhance the relevance and sustainability of P5 activities. Overall, the results reflect that the theme of Local Wisdom remains a strong yet challenging approach to cultivating civic and cultural values in the Merdeka Curriculum.
