Abstract

The purpose of this research is to ascertain the impact of metacognitive methods on students' reading comprehension as well as the attitudes of students about their usage. According to(Navarro, 2021), metacognition is the awareness of and control over one's own thinking and learning processes. Quantitative research is carried out using an experimental research design. Tests and questionnaires were employed by researchers as data collection tools. In this research, two classes—X.6 (Control Class) and X.7 (Experimental Class)—were chosen using cluster random sampling. According to the findings, the experimental group's average post-test score was 83.29, whereas the control group's was 78.57. The independent sample t-test was shown to have a lower (two-tailed) significance of 0.010 (0.010 0.05). Then, in the control class, 0.010 (0.010 0.05) is shown. As a result, Ho is considered unacceptable but Ha is welcomed. Conclusion: Students' reading comprehension is impacted by metacognitive tactics used in reading instruction.In addition, the researcher also got the results from the questionnaire data, the majority of experimental class students agreed and strongly agreed on the three items given on the affective, behavioral and cognitive aspects.

Abstract

This study, conducted at a private university in Kuningan, West Java, aimed to understand the comprehension of learners based on Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) in Extensive Reading classes as well as to identify the reasons why some students find it challenging to understand reading based on HOTS in these classes. The three steps of the HOTS definition by Anderson and Krathwohl (2001) were analysis (C4), evaluation (C5), and creation (C6). The research is descriptive-qualitative, and the methods for gathering data include interviewing and observation. Second-semester students at a private university in Kuningan, West Java, served as the study's subjects. The observation's findings showed that the majority of second-semester students were capable of analyzing the information (Analyzing, C4), evaluating the text's main ideas (Evaluating, C5), and coming up with new ideas to use in other situations (Creating, C6), whether outside of the classroom or on other occasions. Moreover, based on the results of interviews with 10 students in the classroom, there were 5 main factors that affect the students’ reading comprehension based on HOTS which were: lack of vocabulary, lack of focus, lack of time, not having basic knowledge and not interesting in reading

Abstract

Kemampuan berbicara (speaking) dalam bahasa Inggris merupakan salah satu kompetensi penting yang harus dimiliki guru sekolah dasar dalam menghadapi tantangan globalisasi dan penerapan kurikulum yang menekankan keterampilan berbahasa asing. Namun, fakta di lapangan menunjukkan bahwa banyak guru SD masih mengalami kesulitan dalam aspek speaking, baik dari segi penguasaan kosakata, pengucapan, maupun kepercayaan diri ketika berkomunikasi. Oleh karena itu, kegiatan pelatihan ini dilaksanakan sebagai bentuk pengabdian masyarakat untuk meningkatkan kemampuan speaking guru SD melalui metode komunikatif dan praktik langsung. Kegiatan dilaksanakan di desa Purwawinangun, Kabupaten Kuningan pada bulan Juli 2025 dengan melibatkan guru-guru dari berbagai sekolah dasar. Metode pelatihan meliputi ceramah interaktif, role play, peer teaching, dan evaluasi berbasis performa. Hasil menunjukkan adanya peningkatan kemampuan speaking guru sebesar 78% berdasarkan hasil pre-test dan post-test. Selain itu, peserta menunjukkan peningkatan motivasi dan percaya diri dalam menggunakan bahasa Inggris di kelas. Disimpulkan bahwa pelatihan ini efektif dalam meningkatkan keterampilan speaking guru SD dan direkomendasikan untuk dilaksanakan secara berkelanjutan.

Abstract

This community service program aimed to improve elementary school children’s English reading literacy through a community-based picture book approach. The program was conducted intensively for one month in Kedungarum Village and involved 25 children aged 9–12 years. The intervention applied visual literacy strategies by integrating text and illustrations through shared reading, interactive storytelling, and post-reading activities. A pre-test and post-test design was used to measure participants’ reading comprehension, focusing on vocabulary mastery, main idea identification, and literal comprehension. The results showed a significant increase in the average score from 41.6 in the pre-test to 72.4 in the post-test, indicating an improvement of 30.8 points. Observational findings also revealed increased student participation, reading confidence, and positive attitudes toward English reading activities. The small-group, community-based model enabled more intensive interaction and individualised feedback, thereby enhancing the intervention's effectiveness. Although differences in participants’ initial abilities posed minor challenges, the overall findings suggest that short-term literacy interventions using picture books can effectively enhance English reading skills among elementary school children. This model can be replicated in similar community settings to strengthen early foreign language literacy development.

Abstract

This community service program was implemented to address low digital literacy among rural youth and to provide limited access to Artificial Intelligence (AI) training. Although smartphone usage among teenagers is quite high, it remains largely focused on entertainment and social media, so the productive use of digital technology has not developed to its full potential. To address this, the activity was carried out with youth from Pajawan Kidul Village, Lebakwangi District, Kuningan Regency, aiming to improve their basic understanding of AI and digital literacy skills in rural areas. The implementation method used a participatory approach through socialization, AI practice, mentoring, project-based learning, and evaluation using pre- and posttests. During this process, participants received training on using various AI-based applications, including ChatGPT, QuillBot, Canva AI, and Tome AI. In total, 30 village youth were involved in all program activities. As a result, the activity showed an increase in participants' understanding of AI concepts and their application in daily activities. The average score of participants increased from 57.44 before the training to 82.66 after the activity ended, an increase of approximately 43.9%. Notably, there was significant growth in participants' understanding of how AI can support more productive activities. Beyond improving participants' skills, this activity led to five AI-based mini-projects and the formation of the "Youth Tech Club Pajawan Kidul" learning community to sustain digital learning in the village. In summary, AI training that emphasizes hands-on practice and a contextual approach can be an effective way to strengthen digital literacy while reducing the technology gap among rural youth.

Abstract

Reading literacy is a central challenge for students with intellectual disabilities, affecting skills such as letter recognition, vocabulary comprehension, and meaning retention. In Indonesian special schools, the problem is exacerbated by limited adaptive computer-based learning media and the lack of quantitatively evaluated digital interventions. To address this, the study designs and evaluates a computer-based digital animation video learning system developed using accessibility-focused human–computer interaction and multimedia learning theory. This system was implemented as a software-based intervention and evaluated with a pre-experimental one-group pretest–posttest design involving thirteen students with mild to moderate intellectual disabilities. Quantitative analysis included validity and reliability testing, paired samples t-test, effect size calculation, and normalized gain (N-gain) analysis. Results show significant improvement in reading literacy after the intervention. The N-gain score was high at 0.7038, and the effect size was very large, demonstrating strong educational effectiveness. These findings highlight the promise of computer-based animated video systems as effective, scalable technologies for inclusive education. The study offers a replicable framework for combining multimedia system design and quantitative evaluation in educational technology for learners with cognitive disabilities.
