Abstract

The Jigsaw II technique has been found to be effective in teaching and learning grammar based on cooperative learning. Therefore, this study was conducted to examine the effect of the use of the Jigsaw II technique on Form Four students’ attitudes and achievement in Malay grammar learning. Sixty-two students from two boarding schools in Kubang Pasu district, Kedah, Malaysia, were selected to participate in the study. They were divided into a treatment group and a control group. Thirty-one students of the treatment group used the Jigsaw II technique, while thirty-one students of the control group used the Gallery Walk technique. Both groups were given pre-test and post-test. Pre-attitude and post-attitude questionnaires were given to the treatment group only. Data was collected and analysed quantitatively using paired sample t-test, independent sample t-test, and simple linear regression test. The results showed a significant difference in achievement and attitudes for the treatment group in learning Malay grammar after using the Jigsaw II technique. The analysis also showed that the student’s attitude also influenced their achievement in learning Malay grammar based on the Jigsaw II technique. In conclusion, language teachers should choose and diversify cooperative learning techniques, such as the Jigsaw II technique, as this technique can also influence students’ achievement and attitudes in grammar learning.

Abstract

Character education has become a strategic focus in shaping the quality of young generations in Indonesia and Malaysia, particularly amid the challenges of globalization, urbanization, and Western cultural influences that erode moral values and cultural identity. This study aims to identify models and practices for integrating local wisdom into character education, as well as to analyze the similarities, differences, and contributions of these practices to the development of students’ character in both countries. The research employed a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) with a meta-synthesis approach to examine, evaluate, and synthesize qualitative research findings from accredited national and international journals (2019–2025). Fifteen articles met the final inclusion criteria (11 from Indonesia, 4 from Malaysia). The results indicate that: (1) In Indonesia, the integration of local wisdom values is implemented through curriculum, thematic learning, extracurricular activities, and habitual practices in daily life, whereas in Malaysia, integration occurs through specialized curricula, culturally-based instruction, and community education. (2) Similarities between the two countries lie in the role of local wisdom in strengthening moral, social, and religious character, while differences are found in cultural scope, curriculum focus, and language roles. (3) Integrating local wisdom significantly reinforces character education, fosters moral and social values, and preserves students’ cultural identity according to the national context of each country.
