Abstract

Reading comprehension is one of the essential skills in English language learning. However, many students still encounter difficulties in understanding vocabulary, identifying detailed information, and comprehending descriptive and narrative texts. This study aimed to improve students’ reading comprehension skills through the implementation of Canvas-based gamification. The study employed a Classroom Action Research (CAR) design involving 37 tenth-grade students at a public senior high school in Batam. The research was conducted in two cycles, consisting of planning, action, observation, and reflection stages. The gamification strategies implemented in Canvas included the use of points, interactive quizzes, and direct feedback to enhance students’ engagement and motivation in reading activities. Data were collected through reading comprehension tests, observation sheets, and field notes. The findings revealed a significant improvement in students’ reading comprehension skills. The mean score increased from 64.27 in Cycle I to 74.11 in Cycle II, representing a 15.31% improvement. In addition, the percentage of students categorized as Very Good increased from 8.11% to 51.35%. The observation results also indicated that students became more active, engaged, and motivated in reading activities through the integration of gamification features within the Canvas Learning Management System (LMS). Therefore, Canvas-based gamification can serve as an effective instructional strategy for improving students’ reading comprehension of descriptive and narrative texts in English language learning.

Abstract

Student Service Activities (PKM) were carried out to provide an alternative learning space for elementary school-aged children in the Tiban Palem Housing Complex, Batam City, by utilizing the Bougenville 3 Health Post as an interactive learning center. The program was designed to address the limited access to non-formal learning facilities while providing an enjoyable and meaningful experience in learning basic English. The implementation method employed a thematic, communicative, participatory, and multimodal approach, integrating songs, educational games, visual media, and creative tasks. The program participants were 37 children aged 6–14 years, divided into two groups based on grade level. The results of the activities showed that the majority of participants (70–85%) were able to master the target vocabulary and construct simple sentences in accordance with the learning objectives. Observations also revealed increased motivation, active engagement, and self-confidence among the children in their oral use of English. Additionally, parental responses were highly positive, as evidenced by high ratings of learning quality (76.2%) and material suitability (81%), and by children's enthusiasm exceeding 95%. Overall, this program has succeeded in strengthening the role of posyandu as a community-based educational space, improving basic language skills, and building close collaboration between universities and the community. For sustainability, it is recommended that volunteer training and the development of similar programs in other areas be implemented.

Abstract

Penelitian ini menganalisis efektivitas pengawasan Pemilu di Indonesia dalam mencegah dan menanggulangi kecurangan, dengan fokus pada studi kasus Pemilihan Umum di Indonesia. Menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan desain studi kasus, penelitian ini mengeksplorasi perkembangan, tantangan, dan inovasi dalam pengawasan Pemilu. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan peningkatan kapasitas deteksi pelanggaran oleh Bawaslu, namun juga mengungkapkan persistensi kecurangan yang sistematis. Tantangan utama meliputi kompleksitas geografis, perkembangan teknologi informasi dan media sosial, serta politisasi lembaga pengawas. Inovasi seperti sistem pelaporan online dan kolaborasi multi-stakeholder menunjukkan potensi untuk meningkatkan efektivitas pengawasan. Studi kasus di Surabaya membuktikan bahwa integrasi teknologi dan partisipasi masyarakat dapat secara signifikan meningkatkan efektivitas pengawasan Pemilu. Penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa meskipun ada perkembangan positif, pengawasan Pemilu di Indonesia masih memerlukan penyempurnaan berkelanjutan untuk menghadapi dinamika politik dan teknologi yang terus berubah. Rekomendasi meliputi penguatan kapasitas teknologi, optimalisasi kolaborasi multi-stakeholder, dan pengembangan strategi pengawasan berbasis konteks lokal.

Abstract

Digital learning environments have expanded how English Language Teaching students communicate, collaborate, and document their learning beyond the classroom, yet the rationale for why such practices matter for engagement is often left implicit. This study examined the relationships between students’ learning engagement and three aspects of a Discord-based e-portfolio environment—Discord within Technology-Enhanced Language Learning, collaborative learning, and e-portfolio use—among 42 English Language Education students in Batam, Indonesia. A quantitative correlational design was used, with data collected through a five-point Likert questionnaire previously validated in a pilot study. All three relationships were positive, strong, and statistically significant: Discord/TELL (r = .787), collaborative learning (r = .710), and e-portfolio use (r = .878), all p .001, with e-portfolio use showing the strongest association. These findings indicate that Discord, collaborative learning, and e-portfolio practices are each meaningfully associated with—though not shown to causally determine—students’ learning engagement in ELT.
