Abstract

This study aimed to develop and validate an integrated character development model for Vocational High School (SMK) students in Banten Province, Indonesia. A sequential exploratory mixed-methods design was employed, involving 4 teachers and 22 students from four purposively selected SMKs representing different regional and program characteristics. Qualitative data were collected through semi-structured interviews, focus group discussions, classroom observations, and document analysis. Quantitative data were collected using a validated 30-item Likert-scale questionnaire administered to 22 students. The qualitative findings identified five core character values prioritized by stakeholders: discipline, responsibility, honesty, cooperation, and hard work. However, systematic character education implementation remained limited, with only 35% of classes integrating character values explicitly. The study also identified challenges such as limited instructional time, inconsistent teacher modeling, and insufficient resources. Quantitatively, student perceptions indicated strong agreement (82.07%) toward existing character initiatives, although disparities appeared across dimensions such as personal experiences, teacher–student interactions, and developmental challenges.The resulting model consists of three components: (1) curriculum-integrated character instruction, (2) enhanced extracurricular activities with defined character outcomes, and (3) personalized student mentoring supported by family–school collaboration. Pilot implementation over four months demonstrated improvements in students’ character knowledge (23.4%), attitudes (18.7%), and behavioral indicators (15.3%). The findings suggest that character development in SMK settings requires intentional, structured, and contextually relevant strategies supported by teachers, administrators, families, and industry partners.

Abstract

Vocabulary is a fundamental component of English language learning as it supports the development of other language skills. However, many students still experience difficulties in vocabulary acquisition due to monotonous teaching methods and limited use of interactive learning media. This study aims to investigate senior high school students’ perceptions of learning vocabulary through Task-Based Learning (TBL) integrated with crossword puzzles. A qualitative approach with a case study design was employed, involving eleventh-grade students from a senior high school in Karawang. Data were collected through classroom observations and semi-structured interviews and analyzed using thematic analysis. The findings revealed that the integration of crossword puzzles within the TBL framework created a more engaging, interactive, and meaningful learning environment. Students showed increased motivation, active participation, and better understanding of vocabulary across the pre-task, during-task, and post-task stages. They perceived vocabulary learning as enjoyable, less stressful, and effective in helping them remember and apply new words in context. In conclusion, the use of Task-Based Learning combined with crossword puzzle media positively influenced students’ vocabulary learning experiences, motivation, and confidence.

Abstract

Reading ability plays a pivotal role in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learning. However, many junior high school students in Indonesia continue to struggle with reading comprehension, vocabulary recognition, and pronunciation. This study explores the strategies employed by English teachers to support students with low reading ability. Conducted at a public junior high school in Majalengka, West Java, this qualitative case study involved two English teachers and used interviews, classroom observations, and document analysis to gather data. The findings revealed that teachers employed a range of strategies, including read-aloud and guided reading, vocabulary repetition, peer pairing, visual aids and the use of dictionaries. These strategies were primarily intuitive and adapted to classroom conditions rather than being formally differentiated. While the techniques proved helpful in scaffolding struggling students, the study also highlights the lack of challenge for higher-level learners. This paper recommends more systematic application of differentiated instruction to address the varied needs of learners and improve reading instruction in heterogeneous classrooms.
