Abstract

This research aims improve vocabulary mastery of class IX students through animated movies at SMP Gwamar Dobo. This research uses classroom action research (CAR) as its research methodology. This research consists of 2 cycles. The participants of this research consisted of 10 students. Data collection was carried out in the form of tests, namely pre-test and post-test, observation checklist and questionnaire. The data provided is in the form of quantitative and qualitative data. Cycle I; The researcher used a pre-test, namely; 1. Students wrote synonyms in verb form, 2. Students wrote antonyms in adjective form and, 3. Students interpreted sentences in noun form. After the researcher gave treatment to the students through an animated movie, the researcher gave training in forms, pronunciation, spelling, meaning and verbal and writing in short sentences to the students. Then the researcher gave post-test cycle I using the same test as the pre-test. From the results of this test, the results obtained turned out that there had not been a significant improvement, so the researchers decided to use cycle 2 by giving students treatment through different animated films (students watched animated movies) and the researchers also provided exercises so that they could train students' abilities. After the researchers carried out treatment on the students, the researchers gave the students a post-test cycle 2, including; 1. Verbs in infinitive form (Past tense), 2. Adjectives in opposite words (Antonym) form, 3. Write short sentences using nouns. From these two cycles there was a difference in improvement so that the researcher could conclude that there was an increase in vocabulary among students in cycle II.

Abstract

This community service program investigated the application snowball throwing as an instrument to augment English vocabulary acquisition among fifth-grade learners at SD Kristen 1 Dobo, situated in the Aru Islands. Teaching of English has some challenges, especially in primary school. The students do not speak English as their mother language; therefore, it is quite difficult for them to acquire English fluently particularly in rural areas. The program encompassed 29 participants and extended over three sessions, during which students engaged in cooperative gameplay that integrated written vocabulary, physical activity, and verbal expression. This approach facilitated students' comprehension and retention of vocabulary, provided them with lists of words, and instructed them on the accurate pronunciation of these terms through the use of engaging visuals and thematic content, while also modifying the classroom environment to enhance the learning process. The findings revealed a notable enhancement in vocabulary acquisition, heightened student motivation, and favorable teacher feedback. These results underscore the efficacy of embodied, game-based learning in fostering language development within an Indonesian primary educational context.

Abstract

This community service activity was carried out as an effort to improve the professional competence of Madrasah Ibtidaiyah (MI) teachers in developing teaching modules that are in line with the independent curriculum and student needs. The background to this activity stems from the finding that most MI teachers still experience difficulties in understanding the structure and components of teaching modules, especially in designing integrated learning objectives, learning outcomes, and assessments. The focus of this activity is to provide socialization and technical assistance in developing teaching modules based on student characteristics and the local context of the madrasah. The activity implementation method uses a participatory approach through the stages of preparation, implementation of socialization, assistance in the practice of developing teaching modules, and evaluation of the results of the activity. Participants consisted of 23 teachers from MI Rifaiyah Limpung, Limpung District, Batang Regency. The results of the activity showed an increase in teachers' understanding and skills in developing teaching modules that are more systematic and relevant to learning needs. In addition, participants demonstrated high enthusiasm in adapting the format and principles of developing teaching modules in accordance with the curriculum guidelines. Based on the evaluation results, 85% of participants were able to produce teaching module designs that met the criteria for completeness and appropriateness of content. Thus, this socialization activity has proven effective in strengthening the capacity of MI Rifaiyah Limpung teachers in designing innovative and contextual teaching tools, as well as supporting the improvement of the quality of the learning process at the madrasah.

Abstract

Perkembangan kecerdasan buatan (AI) telah membuka peluang baru dalam dunia pendidikan, khususnya dalam mendukung proses pembelajaran yang lebih efisien dan inovatif. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendeskripsikan persepsi guru terhadap pemanfaatan ChatGPT dan Gemini sebagai alat bantu pembelajaran. Metode yang digunakan adalah deskriptif kualitatif dengan pendekatan fenomenologis. Teknik pengumpulan data meliputi data wawancara mendalam dan angket terbuka terhadap 15 guru sekolah menengah di Kota Dobo Kepulauan Aru yang telah menggunakan maupun mengenal ChatGPT dan Gemini dalam proses pembelajaran. Hasil tematik mengungkap bahwa sebagian besar guru memiliki persepsi positif terhadap kedua platform AI tersebut karena dinilai membantu dalam penyusunan bahan ajar, penilaian, dan pengembangan profesionalisme. Namun, ditemukan pula kekhawatiran terhadap keaslian hasil kerja dan potensi ketergantungan terhadap teknologi. Penelitian ini menegaskan pentingnya literasi AI dan kebijakan etika dalam pendidikan agar pemanfaatan ChatGPT dan Gemini dapat diarahkan secara produktif dan bertanggung jawab.
