Abstract

Technology is a part and parcel of this information age; no sphere of learning is untouched by it. The field of ELT/EFL/ESL is no exception. The current paper is an attempt to understand how the use of technology has been received in the field of English as a second language and gather perspectives from the learners of the English language about the effect of technology in their learning. The paper explores various modes of e-learning and how the tools aid traditional ways of teaching and learning English as a second language. An attempt has been made to trace new trends in learning with the ever-evolving technology in the 21st century. This paper has reviewed a few significant researches to give a perspective on the efficacy of modern technologies in learning English for ESL students.

Abstract

Students' mathematical digital communication abilities are paramount in the current digital era, yet many continue encountering difficulties. This study focuses on using interactive e-modules as an innovative learning medium to enhance these abilities. Adopting a quantitative experimental approach, this research involved grade 8students from SMP Negeri 1 Ciwaringin during the 2022/2023 academic year, allocating them into control and experimental groups. The study aimed to evaluate student responses to the e-module, compare students' mathematical digital communication abilities before and after the module's implementation, and determine the effectiveness of the e-module. The study's results showed a significant improvement in students' abilities, with a 75.5% positive response to the e-module and an average student score increase from 36.63 (pretest) to 72.56 (posttest). An N-Gain rise of 56.62% demonstrated the effectiveness of the e-module. These findings solidify the interactive e-module as a suitable learning medium that increases student enthusiasm and participation in mathematical learning. Thus, this research significantly contributes to mathematics education, demonstrating that interactive e-modules can effectively overcome challenges in teaching mathematical digital communication.

Abstract

To find out students' mathematical creative thinking abilities, this can be done by giving students open-ended problems. The aim of this research is to describe students' mathematical creative thinking abilities in solving open-ended problems when viewed from their self-concept. This type of research is qualitative descriptive research. The subject selection technique used in this research was purposive sampling. The subjects of this research consisted of one student with a high self-concept category, one student with a medium self-concept category, and one student with a low self-concept. Data collection methods in this research include questionnaire methods and tests. And the data analysis techniques used include: analysis of mathematical self-concept questionnaires, analysis of open-ended mathematics questions. The research results show that students with a high self-concept category can fulfill all aspects of creative thinking abilities, including fluency, flexibility and originality, so that their mathematical creative thinking abilities are also high. In contrast to students with moderate self-concept, it was found that their creative thinking abilities were low and students with low self-concept actually had moderate mathematical creative thinking abilities. So it can be concluded that based on this research, it shows that students' self-concept does not always describe students' mathematical creative thinking abilities in solving open-ended problems.

Abstract

This study aims to develop a valid, practical, and effective instrument for assessing higher-order thinking skills (HOTS) in junior high school mathematics. Employing a research and development (R&D) approach, the study adapts Mardapi's (2008) development model, which includes nine stages. However, this research focuses on the first seven stages, leaving the final implementation to teachers in schools. The instrument was tested on 40 students at SMPN 2 Rajagaluh, Majalengka Regency. The validity analysis demonstrated that all V values exceeded 0.3, indicating strong content validity. Reliability testing yielded a Cronbach's Alpha score of 0.52, suggesting moderate internal consistency. The findings revealed that students' HOTS performance remains suboptimal, highlighting the need for targeted instructional strategies. Strengthening HOTS can be achieved through structured practice with complex problem-solving tasks. This study provides a robust framework for educators to assess and enhance students’ critical thinking abilities in mathematics.

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic abruptly shifted language education to online platforms, presenting challenges and opportunities for digital transformation. Over 1.5 years, digital education became essential, forcing millions of language educators and institutions to adapt to remote instruction. This article aims to understand and make known the consequences of the Post-COVID-19 pandemic specifically in digital transformation in language learning and teaching. This article examines the impact of the post-COVID-19 era on the digital transformation of language learning and teaching. The researcher systematically searched academic literature published between 2020 and 2022, using databases like Google Scholar, PubMed, and ScienceDirect, focusing on keywords related to COVID-19, language learning, teaching, and online education. By analyzing various documentary sources, the study explores how educators and learners have navigated online platforms, identifying difficulties and innovative strategies that emerged during the transition.

Abstract

This study investigates the liminal experiences of street vendors on Malioboro Street, Yogyakarta, and the street itself as dynamic entities shaped by governmental regulations and social realities. It explores the interplay between power, state governance, small and medium-sized economies, and socio-cultural phenomena, focusing on community empowerment. Employing ethnographic methods, the research provides an in-depth, qualitative understanding of the street vendors' lived experiences and the socio-economic environment of Malioboro. The findings reveal despite the government's pro-SME stance, restrictive urban policies frequently undermine the vendors' stability and economic security. This discord creates a persistent state of liminality for the street vendors, who are continuously displaced and rendered powerless to shape their lives. The study underscores the importance of inclusive and humane urban governance that balances regulatory objectives with the socio-economic realities of street vendors. It calls for involving vendors in policy development, creating flexible regulatory frameworks, and investing in supportive infrastructure. By fostering inclusive, participatory, and culturally rich urban environments, it is possible to create economically vibrant and socially equitable spaces, benefiting all city residents.

Abstract

In the post-pandemic era, a new challenge has emerged within families: the increasing tendency toward problematic smartphone use (PSU). Parents’ attention is often divided between digital interactions and their children, parents appear available but are mentally preoccupied with digital interactions, leaving them physically present but psychologically absent during shared moments—a phenomenon known as parental phubbing. This study examined how parental phubbing contributes to adolescents’ PSU and tested whether the quality of parental attachment mediates this relationship. Data were collected from 654 adolescents aged 12–18 years in Medan, Indonesia, using cluster sampling. Participants completed the Parental Phubbing Scale (PPS), the Inventory of Parent and Peer Attachment–Revised (IPPA-R), and the Smartphone Addiction Scale–Short Version (SAS-SV). Path analysis showed that parental phubbing directly predicted higher PSU levels (β = .270, p < .001) and indirectly influenced PSU through reduced parental attachment (β = .054, p < .001). The mediation model, confirmed by the Sobel test (z = 9.24, p < .001), indicated partial mediation. These findings highlight the need to foster secure parent–child relationships and promote mindful digital engagement among parents to reduce adolescents’ vulnerability to smartphone overuse in the evolving post-pandemic family environment.
