Abstract

English reading skills are essential for academic success, fostering comprehension, critical thinking, and motivation. Engaging reading materials, particularly those reflecting cultural relevance, like Nias local wisdom, enhance intrinsic motivation and learning achievement. This research uses a mixed-methods approach to assess textbook content with Nias-based texts to assess their motivational impact. Using a Sequential Explanatory Design, the study combines quantitative and qualitative methods for comprehensive insights. Quantitative tests measure reading comprehension and motivation, while qualitative interviews explore students' perceptions. Data integration ensures robust findings, guiding effective educational practices at SMA Negeri 1 Gunungsitoli. The research analyzed texts from the BAHASA INGGRIS textbook ("Little Red Riding Hood") and Nias local wisdom ("Warrior of Sun Hill"). Students scored higher on the Nias text (mean 83.1 vs. 81.9), indicating greater engagement. Interviews with the Nias text revealed stronger intrinsic motivation, such as curiosity, involvement, and challenge. Extrinsic factors, like grades and compliance, were less influential but still relevant. A readability analysis showed "Little Red Riding Hood" as more straightforward, making it suitable for younger readers. The study highlights that culturally relevant texts, like Nias wisdom-based materials, significantly boost students' motivation, engagement, and academic performance, underscoring the importance of incorporating intrinsic motivators into English reading curricula.

The findings reveal that the PBL model significantly enhanced collaboration among students and deepened their understanding of English learning materials. Through project activities, students learned to work together, share responsibilities, and engage in positive interactions, which facilitated the internalization of the gotong royong value. The project activities encouraged teamwork and mutual support, contributing to the development of students' social character. In conclusion, the PBL model proved effective in promoting both academic achievement and the internalization of cultural values such as gotong royong. The study highlights the potential of PBL as a tool for fostering cooperation, improving learning outcomes, and shaping students’ social character in the classroom.

Abstract

This study explores the role of cooperative learning methods, particularly the Learning Together model, in shaping student character at UPTD SMP Negeri 2 Gunungsitoli. The research employed a qualitative approach, collecting data through classroom observation of 22 eighth-grade students and interviews with an English teacher. The focus was on how cooperative learning fosters essential values such as responsibility, tolerance, collaboration, and effective communication, which are closely aligned with the dimensions of the Pancasila Student Profile. Findings reveal that the Learning Together model effectively enhances students’ social interactions, mutual respect, and willingness to participate actively in group discussions. It also promotes a sense of accountability by encouraging students to contribute ideas, support one another, and take shared responsibility for group outcomes. Beyond academic improvement, the model cultivates positive character traits that are necessary for holistic student development. Nevertheless, several challenges emerged during implementation. Some students displayed low self-confidence, while others struggled due to limited learning time and restricted access to teaching materials or supplementary resources. These barriers highlight the need for improved classroom support, extended learning opportunities, and diversified materials to optimize the effectiveness of cooperative learning. Overall, this research demonstrates that cooperative learning, when applied to English lessons, not only strengthens language skills but also nurtures character values essential for preparing students to meet future challenges. The study offers practical implications for educators, suggesting that balanced teaching strategies integrating academic competence with character development are vital within the Merdeka Curriculum framework. By addressing both cognitive and affective dimensions, teachers can create meaningful learning experiences that encourage students to grow as capable, responsible, and socially aware individuals.

Abstract

This study investigates the use of visual arts to enhance vocabulary mastery among seventh-grade students at UPTD SMP Negeri 2 Gunungsitoli Alo’oa. The problem identified is students’ limited vocabulary caused by monotonous, text-based teaching methods that reduce motivation and engagement in English learning. This Classroom Action Research (CAR) employed a qualitative approach over two cycles, each involving planning, action, observation, and reflection. Visual art media used included an animated video and a thematic image titled “Home Sweet Home,” both designed to present vocabulary contextually and engagingly. Data collection tools included observation sheets, field notes, and evaluation tests using multiple-choice questions with visual cues. The minimum passing criterion was set at 70%. Results showed improvement in students’ vocabulary mastery, with average scores increasing from 84.83 in Cycle I to 92.00 in Cycle II. Students displayed greater understanding, enthusiasm, and participation when learning with visual media. The integration of both video and image media proved more effective than using a single medium, helping students connect vocabulary to visual contexts. In conclusion, visual arts are effective tools for vocabulary instruction, enhancing comprehension, memory retention, and student motivation in English learning.

Abstract

Rendahnya minat belajar, kurangnya rasa ingin tahu, serta belum optimalnya kemampuan literasi dan numerasi siswa menjadi salah satu tantangan dalam meningkatkan kualitas pembelajaran di SMP Negeri 1 Hiliserangkai. Kondisi tersebut mendorong pelaksanaan Program Education Learning Support (ELS) sebagai program pendampingan belajar yang bertujuan membantu siswa meningkatkan pemahaman materi, menumbuhkan minat belajar, serta memperkuat kemampuan literasi dan numerasi melalui kegiatan belajar tambahan di luar jam pelajaran. Penelitian ini bertujuan mendeskripsikan implementasi Program Education Learning Support (ELS) serta menganalisis kontribusinya terhadap penguatan literasi dan numerasi siswa. Penelitian menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan jenis penelitian deskriptif. Data diperoleh melalui observasi, dokumentasi, dan catatan lapangan selama pelaksanaan program dengan melibatkan 25 siswa kelas VII dan VIII SMP Negeri 1 Hiliserangkai yang dipilih menggunakan teknik purposive sampling berdasarkan keikutsertaan aktif dalam Program Education Learning Support (ELS). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa implementasi Program Education Learning Support (ELS) mampu meningkatkan minat belajar, rasa ingin tahu, partisipasi aktif, serta kemampuan siswa dalam memahami bacaan, mengidentifikasi informasi penting, menggunakan kosakata bahasa Inggris, dan menyelesaikan permasalahan numerasi secara lebih sistematis. Pembelajaran yang memadukan diskusi kelompok, latihan kontekstual, permainan edukatif, role play, presentasi, dan pemberian umpan balik secara langsung menciptakan suasana belajar yang lebih aktif, kolaboratif, dan berpusat pada siswa. Dengan demikian, Program Education Learning Support (ELS) dapat menjadi salah satu strategi pendampingan belajar yang efektif dalam mendukung penguatan literasi dan numerasi serta meningkatkan kualitas pembelajaran di sekolah. Penelitian selanjutnya direkomendasikan untuk menguji efektivitas Program Education Learning Support (ELS) pada jumlah partisipan yang lebih besar, jenjang pendidikan yang berbeda, atau menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif maupun metode campuran (mixed methods) sehingga diperoleh bukti empiris yang lebih komprehensif mengenai dampak program terhadap peningkatan literasi dan numerasi siswa.
