Abstract

Play-based approach, traditionally reserved for childhood education, has demonstrated substantial potential in emerging adulthood learning, aiding in the cultivation of creativity, critical thinking, and interpersonal communication. This study investigates the efficacy of play-based approach, through 3D jigsaw puzzles, in fostering social interaction and collaborative descriptive writing within andragogy setting. Grounded in experiential and student-centred learning theories, it aligns with the developmental needs of young adults, promoting engagement and holistic growth. The study aimed to explore students’ perceptions of play-based approach and identify patterns of social interaction during collaborative descriptive writing. Conducted at regional branch campus of State Polytechnic of Sriwijaya, this study utilized convenience sampling for one small class consisted with nine freshmens. A mixed-method design was employed through closed-ended questionnaire and non-participative observation to provide a comprehensive analysis. The findings demonstrated that play-based approach enhanced engagement, mitigated stress, and nurtured partnerships through peer support, role specialization, and joint problem-solving which was exerting a positive influence on descriptive writing outcomes. Ultimately, the study suggests that play-based approach can profoundly amplify emerging adulthood education, particularly in collaborative learning. Therefore, this approach could feasibly serve as a constructive foundation for the development of future andragogy curricula.

Abstract

English for Medical Purposes (EMP) focuses on teaching domain-specific vocabulary in clinical settings, including psychiatry. However, psychiatric terminology poses particular challenges for novice nursing students due to linguistic complexity and mental health stigma. To address these issues, this study incorporated the English-subtitled K-Drama “Daily Dose of Sunshine” as an edutainment tool to support vocabulary acquisition and foster more constructive perceptions of psychiatric content. A retrospective descriptive design was employed to analyse existing data from researcher’s previous EMP instructional period at a health-focused higher education institution. This approach aimed to evaluate the pedagogical impact of audiovisual integration in psychiatric English instruction and to generate evidence-based insights for English for Specific Purposes (ESP) practice in researcher’s current vocational context. Data were collected through proportionate stratified sampling of 30 nursing students. The study utilized Likert-scale questionnaire to investigate students’ perceptions of using audiovisual media, Vocabulary Recognition Task (VRT) to measure psychiatric English vocabulary acquisition, and documentation to explore potential patterns between the two datasets. The findings indicated notable vocabulary gains, particularly among students with lower initial proficiency, and improved contextual understanding. These outcomes underscore the potential of edutainment in facilitating domain-specific language learning and reducing stigma. Furthermore, it offers valuable implications for the advancement of ESP instruction in specialized educational contexts.
