Abstract

Perkembangan teknologi digital telah memberikan berbagai peluang dalam dunia pendidikan, termasuk pada jenjang pendidikan anak usia dini. Namun, pemanfaatan teknologi sebagai media pembelajaran yang mendukung perkembangan bahasa dan komunikasi anak masih belum optimal di TK Insan Cemerlang. Hasil observasi awal menunjukkan bahwa hanya 28,6% guru yang pernah menggunakan aplikasi edukasi digital dalam pembelajaran, sebanyak 32,1% anak pernah menggunakan media digital edukatif secara terarah, dan sekolah memiliki keterbatasan sarana digital berupa satu unit proyektor dan belum tersedianya perangkat pembelajaran digital di setiap kelas. Kegiatan Pengabdian kepada Masyarakat ini bertujuan mengenalkan aplikasi edukasi berbasis digital sebagai sarana penguatan kemampuan bahasa dan komunikasi anak usia dini melalui integrasi penggunaan aplikasi dan pendampingan aktif oleh guru serta orang tua. Metode pelaksanaan meliputi observasi awal, sosialisasi, demonstrasi penggunaan aplikasi Marbel Belajar Huruf dan Membaca, praktik pendampingan selama empat minggu dengan frekuensi dua kali per minggu dan durasi 30 menit setiap pertemuan, serta evaluasi program. Kegiatan melibatkan 28 orang tua dan guru serta 30 anak TK Insan Cemerlang. Hasil evaluasi menunjukkan bahwa penggunaan aplikasi edukasi berbasis digital mampu meningkatkan rata-rata kemampuan bahasa dan komunikasi anak sebesar 28%, yang ditunjukkan melalui peningkatan penguasaan kosakata, kemampuan menyimak, keberanian berkomunikasi, dan partisipasi belajar. Selain itu, tingkat kepuasan guru dan orang tua terhadap program mencapai 94%, serta terjadi peningkatan pemahaman mengenai pemanfaatan teknologi digital yang aman dan edukatif dalam proses pembelajaran anak. Kegiatan ini menunjukkan bahwa integrasi aplikasi edukasi digital dengan keterlibatan aktif orang tua dan guru dapat menjadi media pendukung pembelajaran yang efektif dalam mengembangkan kemampuan bahasa dan komunikasi anak usia dini.

Abstract

The growing demand for 21st-century skills underscores the importance of nurturing students’ creativity through educational practices that promote divergent thinking. This study investigates the impact of Project-Based Learning (PBL) on fostering divergent thinking and creative performance among high school students. The research aims to analyze how the integration of PBL facilitates idea fluency, flexibility, originality, and elaboration in learners’ creative processes. A quasi-experimental design was employed, involving two groups of students: one receiving traditional instruction and the other exposed to PBL interventions across four project cycles. Data were collected using a validated creativity assessment rubric and analyzed through descriptive and inferential statistics (ANOVA). The findings reveal a significant improvement in divergent thinking indicators among students taught through PBL, particularly in their ability to generate multiple and original ideas. Qualitative observations also highlight that collaborative project environments enhanced motivation, self-expression, and problem-solving capacities. The study concludes that PBL serves as an effective pedagogical framework for cultivating creative and divergent thinking skills essential for innovation-driven learning. Implications emphasize the need for curriculum designers and educators to embed authentic, project-based tasks within classroom instruction.

Abstract

English language acquisition is indispensable for cultivating communication competencies and fostering intercultural understanding from an early stage. However, Indonesian elementary students frequently encounter difficulties in vocabulary mastery due to repetitive instructional approaches and a deficiency of engaging, visual media tailored to young learners’ concrete learning styles. This research examines the efficacy of the gamified media, Animal Quest, in enhancing students’ English vocabulary. Employing a quantitative quasi-experimental methodology, forty first-grade students at SD Negeri 5 Pringsewu Barat were divided into an experimental group and a control group. Data were collected through pre-tests and post-tests and subsequently analyzed using SPSS 25.0 with paired and independent t-tests. The findings reveal a statistically significant improvement within the experimental group, which demonstrated a higher mean post-test score (87.05) compared to the control group (70.20). These results imply that gamification via Animal Quest effectively enhances vocabulary acquisition, engagement, and motivation among young learners. Furthermore, the study underscores that gamified storytelling media can serve as a valuable instructional innovation within primary English education, aligning with the objectives of the Merdeka Belajar curriculum and encouraging educators to adopt more interactive, student-centered pedagogical practices.

Abstract

This study aims to explore the perspectives of Sharia Economic Law students on the practice of Qur’an recitation and its English translation as a disciplinary measure for classroom tardiness. The policy, implemented by an Islamic higher education institution, adopts an educational approach grounded in religious values to instill discipline while enhancing Qur’anic literacy and students’ English proficiency. This research employed a qualitative approach with a case study design. Data were collected through in-depth interviews and observations involving students who had undergone the disciplinary action. The findings reveal that most students view the policy as a constructive form of guidance aligned with Sharia principles. They believe the practice contributes positively to improving discipline, strengthening spiritual awareness, and enhancing foreign language comprehension. However, some students expressed concerns regarding its psychological impact and questioned its effectiveness as a sanction. The study recommends periodic evaluations of the policy to ensure its implementation remains consistent with the principles of justice, Islamic values, and a humanistic educational approach.

Abstract

Academic writing is a fundamental competence for students of English Education programs, yet many EFL students continue to experience persistent difficulties in organizing ideas, maintaining coherence, revising drafts, and applying academic conventions. At the same time, the increasing use of artificial intelligence (AI) tools in writing has raised pedagogical and ethical concerns due to their largely unstructured use. This study aims to develop a pedagogically grounded framework for integrating AI into academic writing instruction in an EFL teacher education context. The study employed a Research and Development approach with a design-based research orientation. Data were collected through a needs analysis questionnaire administered to students, semi-structured interviews with lecturers, and document analysis of academic writing tasks. The proposed framework was evaluated through expert validation and a limited practicality test involving lecturers and students. The results of the needs analysis indicate that students require structured guidance across all stages of the writing process, particularly in revision and formative feedback. Expert validation results demonstrate that the developed framework is pedagogically feasible, conceptually clear, and contextually relevant to EFL academic writing instruction. In addition, the practicality test shows that the framework is perceived as applicable and supportive of both student autonomy and lecturer guidance. This study does not measure learning effectiveness but provides a validated pedagogical design for responsible AI integration. It is recommended that lecturers adopt structured AI-guided writing frameworks to support formative feedback and that future research examine the effectiveness of the framework through experimental or longitudinal studies.
