Abstract

Acalypha hispida Burm.f. is commonly used as an ornamental plant known for pharmacological effects. The nanoscale extract increases bioavailability and bioactivity. This research aimed to produce and characterize nanopowder extract of A. hispida leaves. Powdered leaves were macerated in 96% ethanol, then was evaporated in the spry dryer. Nanopowder extract was produced using planetary ball milling at 5000 rpm in different milling times, namely 5 minutes (nanopowder A), 10 minutes (nanopowder B), and 40 minutes (nanopowder C). The nanopowder extracts were evaluated using a particle size analyzer, scanning electron microscope, and high-performance liquid chromatography. The average particle size of A. hispida crude extract was 1271 nm, and nanopowder A, B, and C respectively were 837.1 nm, 803.8, and 512.2 nm. The polydispersity index of A. hispida crude extract, nanopowder A, B, and C were 0.754, 0.696, 0.717, dan 0.612. The milling process for 40 minutes reduced the content of 5% gallic acid and 10.3% catechin. The SEM image of nanopowder C was smaller than crude extract. The best average particle size of nanopowder C (512.2 nm) and polydispersity index (0.612) were produced using PBM for 40 minutes at 5000 rpm.

Abstract

Mastering vocabulary could be one of the keys to be successful in learning English. Teaching by using a certain game could be an interesting way to increase students’ vocabulary. The aim of this study is to create a scrabble wall to help students improve their vocabulary. This study employed the research and development method, as well as the ADDIE Model's theory, which is divided into five stages: analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation. Interviews, exams, and expert validation checklists were used as study instruments. This study used 25 students as a sample of product implementation among eleventh-grade students of SMA Putra Juang Cianjur. Data were gathered from student interviews, test results (Pre-test and Post-test), teacher replies, and expert validation results. The data analysis revealed that the product was both good and valid. The scrabble wall can be used as a means to teach English, particularly vocabulary. The scrabble wall is helpful for students as well. It may be concluded that the use of scrabble wall can enhance students’ vocabulary mastery.

Abstract

This study aimed to identify and describe the reading difficulties experienced by second-grade students of State Elementary School 3 Ciracap, the factors causing these difficulties, and the teacher’s efforts to overcome them. This study employed a qualitative approach with a descriptive research design. The research participants consisted of second-grade students of State Elementary School 3 Ciracap and the second-grade teacher as the main informant. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation. The collected data were analyzed using data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing techniques. The findings showed that several students still experienced reading difficulties, including recognizing and distinguishing similar letters, reading hesitantly, spelling letters one by one, and combining letters into syllables and words. In addition, some students had difficulty understanding simple reading texts. These difficulties were influenced by internal and external factors. Internal factors included low interest in reading, limited ability to remember letters, and low learning readiness. External factors included limited parental assistance at home, lack of reading practice, and differences in students’ educational backgrounds. To address these difficulties, the teacher implemented several strategies, such as daily reading activities, reading aloud in turns, individual guidance, and the use of Bacalah Books 1–3 during reading instruction. Based on the findings, it can be concluded that the reading difficulties experienced by second-grade students of State Elementary School 3 Ciracap were influenced by various internal and external factors. Therefore, cooperation between teachers and parents is needed to support the improvement of students’ reading skills.
