Abstract

This study investigates the influence of sleep habits on the cognitive functions observed in the speech of preschool children. Sleep plays a crucial role in a child’s development, affecting memory, attention, and language skills. The research aims to understand how irregular sleep patterns or insufficient sleep impact the clarity, vocabulary, and structure of preschoolers’ speech. Data were collected from 5 preschool children through parent questionnaires and speech assessments. The findings reveal that children with consistent and adequate sleep show better cognitive abilities, reflected in their ability to form coherent sentences and use varied vocabulary. Conversely, children with poor sleep habits often display difficulties in speech fluency and comprehension. This study highlights the importance of healthy sleep routines for optimal cognitive and language development in early childhood. Recommendations for parents and educators are also provided.

Abstract

Writing is one of the essential skills that students must master in learning English, as it enables them to express ideas and convey information effectively. However, many junior high school students still find it difficult to organize their thoughts and develop coherent report texts. This gap between the importance of writing and students' actual performance highlights the need for effective learning media. This study aims to improve students' writing ability in report text through the use of mind mapping media at the ninth grade of SMP Negeri 8 Pematangsiantar. The research was conducted using classroom action research (CAR) in two cycles, each consisting of planning, action, observation, and reflection. The subjects of the research were 30 students of class IX-3. The data were collected through writing tests, observation sheets, and field notes. The results of the study showed that the students' writing ability improved significantly after the implementation of mind mapping media. The improvement could be seen in the students' ability to generate ideas, organize paragraphs, and use correct grammar and vocabulary in writing report texts. The mean score of students' writing increased from 63.4 in the pre-test to 81.2 in the post-test of the second cycle. It can be concluded that mind mapping media effectively enhances students' writing ability in report text. Therefore, teachers are encouraged to use mind mapping as an alternative learning tool to make writing activities more structured, engaging, and easier for students to understand.
