Abstract

Several challenges are faced in implementing online learning, such as being less familiar with online learning. This study aimed to analyze the challenges faced by students majoring in Non-English Education in online English learning during the Covid 19 pandemic. The research design used was descriptive and qualitative. Data were obtained from 412 students majoring in Non-English Education. Data collection techniques used are questionnaires and interviews. The questionnaire was made in a google form and filled out by respondents online, while the structured interview technique was carried out using the Zoom application. Data analysis activities include data reduction, presentation, and conclusion drawing/verification. The results showed that the biggest challenge came from students' psychological problems, such as; limited opportunities to interact with lecturers and colleagues directly, lack of feedback or clarification from lecturers or colleagues, more independent learning to solve problems, and lack of student-centered learning activities. Another big challenge is technical problems such as an unsupported internet network, limited internet access, or an unstable internet connection.

Abstract

Gender disparities in literacy and numeracy continue to challenge equitable education, especially in linguistically diverse and indigenous communities. In East Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia, the integration of mother tongue-based instructional models offers a promising approach to address these inequities. While the benefits of mother tongue education on overall academic achievement are well documented, its specific role in mitigating gender gaps remains insufficiently examined. This study aim to analyze mother tongue-based multilingual education (MTB-MLE) can be adapted to support gender-equitable learning outcomes in literacy and numeracy among elementary students. The method employed a mixed-method approach. The quantitative component involved quasi-experimental research, meanwhile the qualitative aspect included interviews. Research participants included early-grade elementary students in the Riung ethnic region, comprising a total sample of 168 students (70 male and 98 female). The quantitative data were analyzed using ANCOVA to evaluate differences in pretest and post-test results based on gender, while qualitative data underwent thematic analysis to identify facilitating factors and barriers in implementing the instructional model. Findings reveal that both male and female students benefited significantly from mother tongue-based instruction. Notably, female students showed greater improvements in literacy, while male students demonstrated slightly higher gains in numeracy. These results underscore the potential of culturally responsive, language-based instructional models to promote inclusive and equitable education. By situating learning within students’ linguistic and cultural contexts, mother tongue-based instruction not only enhances academic performance but also supports gender-sensitive pedagogy and curriculum development. This study contributes to the global discourse on language education by offering insights into how localized pedagogical strategies can be leveraged to address gender disparities.

Abstract

Students' learning outcomes on the topic of photosynthesis are still relatively low, partly due to the lack of engaging and interactive learning media. This study aims to develop interactive learning media in the form of a game puzzle based on BookWidgets to improve students' learning outcomes. This is a development research using the ADDIE model, involving 20 fifth-grade elementary school students and one classroom teacher. Data were collected through expert validation questionnaires, practicality questionnaires, and learning outcome tests (pre-test and post-test). The instruments included expert assessment sheets, response questionnaires, and multiple-choice test items. Data were analyzed quantitatively using descriptive statistics for validity and practicality, and paired sample t-tests to assess media effectiveness. The validation results indicated that the media were highly valid, with practicality rated at 100% by the teacher and 86.25% by the students. The t-test for effectiveness showed a significance value of 0.001 (p < 0.05), indicating that the media effectively improved student learning outcomes. Thus, the BookWidgets-based game puzzle media can serve as an attractive, interactive, and technology-integrated learning alternative that supports independent and sustainable learning.

Abstract

This study is inspired by the relevance of positive social attitudes in developing harmonious connections with others, including peers, family, and society. The study examines how differentiated digital media, grounded in Balinese folklore and cultural values, influence the social perspectives of elementary school students. The research method adopted is quantitative, with an experimental component. The study's findings indicate that utilizing digital media rooted in Balinese culture, particularly through folklore, significantly enhances students' social attitudes, including helping one another, empathy, tolerance, peaceful living, and social participation. These improvements are closely tied to the cultural messages embedded in the stories. The results support earlier research that folklore, as a cultural artifact with strong moral messages, can shape future behavior. This study highlights the importance of integrating cultural heritage into digital learning tools to build moral and social values. The recommended steps include producing more culturally-based educational resources, providing teacher training to apply culturally-rich materials, and conducting further studies to evaluate the long-term impact of folklore-based digital media on character education.
