Abstract

The Student Creativity Program (PKM) with the title “Improving Students' Vocabulary Mastery Through Educational Games at SD N 2 Tiakur” aims to improve the mastery of English vocabulary of grade 4 and 5 students through educational game-based learning methods. The educational games implemented, such as Word Bingo, Charades, and Memory Match, proved to be effective in helping students remember and understand new vocabulary more easily and fun. In addition, this method also increases students' learning motivation and creates an interactive learning atmosphere. Teachers and students gave positive responses to this learning method, where teachers felt helped in improving the quality of teaching, and students became more enthusiastic in learning English. The positive impact was also felt by the surrounding community, especially parents who began to more actively support their children in the learning process at home. This program not only succeeded in improving students' vocabulary mastery but also contributed to improving the quality of English education at SD N 2 Tiakur. The results of this activity show that the educational gamebased learning approach can be used as an effective alternative method in teaching English in primary schools, especially in areas with limited access to education, such as in Southwest Maluku Regency.

Abstract

This classroom action research study aimed to enhance and empower reading comprehension among tenth-grade students at SMA Negeri 14 Maluku Barat Daya through the systematic application of the paired reading method. The study sought not only to improve students’ technical reading skills but also to foster greater self-efficacy and motivation by engaging them in structured peer learning. Baseline assessments revealed that many students faced challenges when reading individually, highlighting the need for a collaborative instructional approach. In Cycle 1, the intervention was implemented with strategic pairing based on reading proficiency and enhanced teacher facilitation; the results indicated that approximately 64% (16 out of 25) of the students met the predetermined reading comprehension benchmark. Based on these findings, refinements were made for Cycle 2 including improved pairing strategies, increased scaffolding, and more rigorous data management—which culminated in all 25 students (100%) achieving the benchmark. These outcomes demonstrate that iterative application of the paired reading method can significantly elevate reading comprehension outcomes while simultaneously empowering students through collaborative learning. This study contributes to the growing body of evidence supporting classroom action research as an effective means for refining instructional practices, and its findings underscore the potential benefits of peer-assisted reading strategies in secondary education.
