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.

Abstract

English plays a vital role as a global language and an essential skill for academic and professional success. Among the four language skills, writing is the most challenging for Indonesian EFL learners, particularly in descriptive text production, due to limited vocabulary, grammatical difficulties, and lack of exposure to authentic English use. Traditional teaching methods often fail to provide adequate engagement and creativity, resulting in students’ low writing performance. To address these issues, this study investigated the effect of applying the Cooperative Learning method of the learning together model integrated with cartoon picture media from Pinterest on students’ descriptive writing ability at SMP Negeri 1 Siantar. The research employed a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental design. The population consisted of 237 eighth-grade students, from which class VIII-4 was selected as the experimental group and class VIII-5 as the control group. Data were collected through pre-tests and post-tests, and analyzed using mean, standard deviation, normality, homogeneity, and independent sample t-test. The results revealed a significant improvement in the experimental class, with the mean post-test score increasing from 39 to 80, compared to the control class which only rose from 46 to 59.2. The t-test result (7.722) exceeded the t-table value (1.677) at the 0.05 significance level, confirming that the treatment had a positive effect. It can be concluded that the integration of Cooperative Learning with cartoon picture media from Pinterest is effective in enhancing students’ descriptive writing ability. This method not only improved writing scores but also fostered greater motivation and active participation in the classroom.

Abstract

This research aimed to find out the effect of applying the Discovery Learning method on students’ reading comprehension achievement at SMA Negeri 1 Loura in the academic year 2022/2023. The study applied a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental design. The population was all the students of class XI IPA, and the sample consisted of two classes: class XI IPA 1 as the experimental group and class XI IPA 2 as the control group. The instrument used was a reading comprehension test in the form of multiple-choice questions. Data were collected through a pre-test, treatment, and post-test. The validity and reliability of the instrument were tested before its use. Data analysis was carried out using statistical calculations, including the t-test formula, to compare the mean scores of the experimental and control groups. The results of the research showed that the mean score of the experimental group after treatment was significantly higher than that of the control group. The statistical analysis confirmed that the application of the Discovery Learning method had a positive effect on improving students’ reading comprehension achievement. In conclusion, the Discovery Learning method can be considered an effective teaching strategy in enhancing students’ reading comprehension, and it is recommended for English teachers to implement this method in the classroom.
