Abstract

This research study seeks to elucidate the role of educational play in the acquisition of English-language skills among children during their early years. A comprehensive review of pertinent literature was conducted, with a focus on the integration of educational games. The study's primary focus is on early childhood education contexts. This methodology enabled the research team to gain profound insights into the effective integration of educational games in early childhood education. The findings of this study indicate that educational games have a significant positive impact on children's motivation, vocabulary development, and social skills. The researchers have demonstrated that the integration of educational games into the curriculum has resulted in meaningful improvements in the context of daily learning in educational settings. Furthermore, they highlight that these positive effects are not only temporary but also sustained over time. The incorporation of educational games into the curriculum can create a more engaging and interactive learning environment for students, leading to improved quality of learning in the classroom. This study's results lend support to the implementation of dynamic and engaging learning strategies in the early childhood education setting. It is therefore concluded that educational games play an invaluable role in supporting the development of English-speaking skills in this age group.

Abstract

The integration of digital learning modules in history education presents significant opportunities for enhancing student engagement and fostering character development through local heroic narratives. This study aimed to develop a comprehensive digital module titled "History of South Tapanuli during the Indonesian Independence Revolution" grounded in local heroic values for implementation in senior high schools across Padangsidimpuan City. Employing a qualitative research methodology, the study involved semi-structured interviews (n=24) with history teachers and educational stakeholders, focus group discussions (n=4 groups, 32 participants) with secondary school students, and document analysis of curricular materials and local historical records. Data were analyzed through thematic coding and content analysis, revealing three primary themes: integration of local heroic values in curriculum design, pedagogical effectiveness of digital modules, and barriers to implementation. Findings indicate that the digital module effectively contextualizes national independence history within local South Tapanuli narratives, particularly through the portrayal of regional heroes such as Commissioner Police Mas Kadiran and the East Sumatra Social Revolution participants. The module demonstrates significant potential in cultivating student awareness of regional contributions to national independence, enhancing critical thinking skills, and fostering nationalistic sentiment grounded in local heroic exemplars. However, implementation requires addressing infrastructure limitations, teacher digital literacy development, and curriculum alignment. This research provides empirical evidence supporting the efficacy of locally-grounded digital learning modules in enhancing history education quality while promoting character formation based on authentic regional heroic values in the Indonesian educational context.

Abstract

This qualitative research investigates the development and implementation of a digital module designed to facilitate oral history documentation regarding the Revolutionary Government of the Republic of Indonesia (PRRI) struggle within South Tapanuli communities. The study focuses on mentoring assistance provided to Madrasah Aliyah (MA) students at Pondok Pesantren Musthafawiyah Purba Baru, emphasizing the acquisition of interview techniques and narrative analysis competencies. This research employed a qualitative methodology encompassing semi-structured interviews, classroom observations, and participant documentation analysis conducted over six months with 28 MA students and 5 faculty mentors. Through iterative coding and thematic analysis, three core emergent themes were identified: (1) scaffolded skill development in oral history methodology, (2) students' evolving understanding of historical agency and community memory preservation, and (3) institutional integration challenges within pesantren educational frameworks. The digital module demonstrated significant effectiveness in enhancing students' interview competencies, with 89.3% of participants demonstrating advanced capability in conducting biographical narrative interviews by the research conclusion. Findings revealed that mentoring relationships characterized by reciprocal feedback mechanisms and culturally responsive pedagogical approaches substantially facilitated student learning engagement. This research contributes to understanding how digital learning technologies can be meaningfully integrated within Islamic boarding school contexts to foster students' historical consciousness and community documentation skills while preserving traditional pedagogical values.

Abstract

This qualitative research examines the implementation of Inquiry-Based Learning (IBL) through the ancient tombs and historical sites of the Sultan Barumun era to enhance historical thinking skills among students at Madrasah Aliyah Negeri (MAN) Barumun. Involving 50 students, 3 history teachers, 4 community guides, and 2 school administrators, the study employed mixed qualitative methods including structured observations (8 sessions), semi-structured interviews (7 participants), focus group discussions (2 sessions with 30 students), document analysis, student learning journals (weekly reflections), and site visits over a four-month period. Data were analyzed using thematic analysis with open and axial coding procedures to identify patterns in student engagement, understanding, and skill development. Results revealed significant improvements in students' historical thinking skills across six dimensions: source analysis and interpretation (7-student increase to Proficient level), historical contextualization (7-student increase), causation and chronological reasoning (16-student increase), evidence-based argumentation (Advanced category achievement), perspective recognition (38 students in Advanced category), and synthesis and conceptualization (1-student progression to Proficient level). Thematic analysis identified six primary themes: enhanced critical engagement (23 occurrences), deepened historical understanding (28 occurrences), active participation and agency (31 occurrences), emotional connection to heritage (26 occurrences), collaborative learning dynamics (29 occurrences), and implementation challenges (17 occurrences). The study demonstrates that IBL through culturally significant historical sites effectively develops students' capacity for historical thinking while fostering emotional connections to local Islamic heritage and regional identity..
