Abstract

In reading, students are required to learn to comprehend the content of the text. Lexical density is one of the factors that influences students’ reading comprehension. Lexical density is a condition of words’ proportion in a text, which shows the ratio of content words (CW) and grammatical function words (GFW). This research used the “Passport to the World” English textbook for the 8th grade of junior high school to be analyzed. This study aims to find out the genres of reading materials offered by the curriculum 2013 found in the textbook and to examine the lexical density of the reading materials in the textbook. A qualitative approach was applied, while content analysis was used as the research design. Data were collected with document analysis. The findings showed that there are 3 genres of reading materials, among 5 genres offered by the curriculum 2013, included in the textbook such as descriptive, recount, and functional texts in the form of announcements. From those, it was found that two texts were categorized as low lexical density, 11 texts were categorized as medium lexical density, and four texts were labeled as high lexical density. In addition, the composition of this text did not reach the ideal ratio of 1:2:1 for index difficulty. However, this textbook can still be suggested to be used in the class with some usage modifications in the classroom.

Abstract

This research focused on evaluating the effectiveness of Problem-Based Learning (PBL) within the context of Islamic religious education at High School. A qualitative case study approach was used, with data collected from in-depth interviews with 20 participants, participatory observations, and analysis of curriculum documents. Data were collected through a series of in-depth interviews, participatory observations, and analysis of the curriculum documents used at the school. The findings indicate that PBL supports students not only in understanding theoretical religious concepts but also in applying these values practically in their daily lives. Moreover, this method has proven to enhance students' learning motivation and analytical abilities. This study offered concrete guidelines for integrating PBL into Islamic education curricula and suggests further research across different schools to assess generalizability. The implications of this study were highly relevant for the development of a more innovative and responsive curriculum to modern educational needs.
