Abstract

The researcher decided to apply wordsearch games in this study. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of using hidden word games on English vocabulary skills in grade seven of Mars Pematangsiantar Private Junior High School in the 2023/2024 school year. This study used a quasi-experimental design with quantitative methods. In this study, researchers used two classes, namely the experimental class and the control class. Researchers took the population of class VII with a total of 50 students. For the sample, the number of students taken was the same in the experimental and control classes, namely 25 students. The sample for the experimental class was class VII-A and the sample for the control class was class VII-B. Students were selected using purposive sampling technique. To analyze the data, the researchers used the t-test formula to determine whether the use of wordsearch games affects the mastery of English vocabulary. After analyzing the data, the results of this study showed the average pre-test and post-test scores of the experimental class and the average pre-test and post-test scores of the control class. In the experimental class, the mean pre-test score was 55.6 and the mean post-test score was 76. In the control class, the mean value of the pre-test was 60 and the mean value of the post-test was 69.4. The standard deviation for the experimental class was 5.746 and the standard deviation for the control class was 666. After calculating the average value and standard deviation of the two classes, the researcher calculated using the t-test formula, the t-count result was greater than the t-table with a significance level of 5% (3.374> 1.677). Based on these results, the researcher concluded that the alternative hypothesis (Ha) was accepted and the null hypothesis (H0) was rejected. Therefore, it can be concluded that the use of Wordsearch puzzle game has an effect on English vocabulary acquisition, especially in grade seven.

Abstract

The development of digital technology requires teachers to be able to integrate technological, pedagogical, and content knowledge (TPACK) into the learning process. However, many teachers still struggle to understand and apply TPACK optimally, resulting in suboptimal learning quality in the digital era. This community service activity aims to improve teachers' understanding and skills in implementing TPACK through socialization and structured training. The methods used include lectures, discussions, hands-on practice in developing TPACK-based lesson plans, as well as pretest and posttest evaluations. The activity was conducted at SMP Negeri 11 Pematangsiantar in March-April 2025, involving teachers as active participants. Evaluation results showed a significant improvement in teachers' understanding of TPACK concepts and practices, reflected in an average increase in pretest scores from 27.9% to 57.37% on the posttest. Teachers also became more confident in designing technology-based learning and effectively utilizing digital media. This activity demonstrated that TPACK socialization can strengthen teachers' competencies and improve the quality of learning in the digital age. Continuous support and further training are still needed to ensure optimal implementation of TPACK.
