Abstract

Reading comprehension is a challenge for English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learners in Indonesian Islamic junior high schools. English texts can seem unrelated to students’ lives and values. The researchers evaluated the culturally responsive instructional resource, the Islamic Life Resource Pack (ILRP), to determine if students’ reading comprehension improved following the ILRP. The researchers conducted a pre-experimental, one-group pretest–posttest study of 26 eighth-grade students in an Islamic junior high school. The researchers conducted a pretest to assess reading comprehension, followed by ILRP-based instruction, and then did a posttest. The descriptive statistics and paired-samples t-test were used to analyze the findings. The researchers found a significant increase in reading comprehension after the intervention (M gain = 19.31, SD = 6.19; t(25) = 15.89, p < .001; 95% CI [16.81, 21.81]). This means that ILRP-based, culturally responsive reading instruction may help students to develop reading in Indonesian Islamic junior high schools. The findings should be taken with caution because they were conducted in a single intact group and sample size (n = 26), which may not allow us to draw strong causal conclusions due to possible threats to internal validity (e.g., testing effects and maturation). Despite these limitations, the study provides preliminary evidence to inform future larger-scale, controlled research on culturally responsive EFL reading instruction in Indonesian Islamic school settings.

Abstract

Mastering speaking skills poses a challenge for young learners, prompting the search for innovative solutions such as using educational tools. This study explores the impact of TikTok vlogs on the speaking skills of young learners, considering its potential as an educational tool. This study was conducted at one elementary school in Indonesia where the proficiency in speaking skills remained low. Participants of the present study were taken from 54 fourth-grade elementary students and the research utilized pre-test and post-test data analyzed through SPSS 21.00 using an Independent Sample t-test and N-Gain Test. The post-test data showed a significant result since the significance value of the post-test was 0.000 less than the significance level, 0.005, and this made the null hypothesis rejected. The N-gain score further confirmed its effectiveness, with a value of 58.76, compared to the control class's 18.42. These results highlight TikTok Vlog's positive impact, showcasing its potential in modern language education and advocating for its integration into teaching practices. Such compelling outcomes underscore the promising implications of integrating TikTok vlogs in language education, signaling a need for its broader implementation to bolster young learners' speaking skills in educational settings.

Abstract

English as a Medium of Instruction (EMI) in Indonesia has reached the primary level of education, where students face challenges in mastering academic content using a language they do not fully comprehend. This study employs a descriptive qualitative method to analyse the  implementation of EMI in one of primary schools in Denpasar, Bali. Besides, this study also explores teachers’ perceptions regarding its effectiveness in the process of learning and teaching. The data of this study were obtained from semi-structured interviews with eight selected teachers which were met the criteria as participants. Non-participant observation classroom and document analysis of existing international-based curricula like Cambridge textbooks were considered as supporting data. The results show that a flexible bilingual approach (translanguaging) strategy conducted by the teachers, where Bahasa Indonesia is used as a scaffolding tool to ensure students’ comprehension of complex ideas is more effective, rather than following a rule to only use English during the learning activities. Teachers are able to overcome the gap in language barriers by using multimodal strategies, creatively adapting international materials to fit the students’ level of proficiency, and using visual aids and digital media. Moreover, teachers who have high positive perceptions toward EMI, knowing it as a tool that is beneficial for both the acquisition of language and the mastery of subjects, despite admitting the constant cognitive difficulties for students.

Abstract

This research is motivated by the low science learning outcomes of fourth-grade students on the topic of Biodiversity, which is caused by the dominance of the lecture method that makes students passive. The purpose of this research is to improve the quality of the learning process and cognitive learning outcomes thru the Make a Match learning model. This research is a type of Classroom Action Research (CAR) with the research subjects being 20 fourth-grade students. The data collection techniques included learning outcome tests and observations of student activities. The data were analyzed using qualitative and quantitative techniques. The research procedure was carried out in two cycles, which included planning, implementation, observation, and reflection. The research results show a very significant improvement at each stage. At the pre-action stage, the average student score was only 53.5 with a classical completeness of 15% and increased to 73 with 65% completeness in Cycle I. In Cycle II, the average soared to 93 with 90% completeness, which falls into the "Very Good" category. Based on these results, it is concluded that the Make a Match learning model effectively improves learning outcomes in biodiversity material thru an interactive, enjoyable, and student-centered approach.

Abstract

This study aims to improve the learning outcomes of second grade elementary school students on weight measurement material through the implementation of the Think Pair Share (TPS) learning model assisted by Polypad media. This research is a Classroom Action Research (CAR) conducted in two cycles, each consisting of planning, action, observation, and reflection stages. The subjects of this study were 28 students of class II at SD Negeri Tanjungrejo 5. Data were collected through observation and tests (pre-test and post-test), then analyzed using qualitative and quantitative descriptive techniques. The results showed that student learning outcomes improved significantly. The classical completeness increased from 10.7% in the pre-cycle to 60.71% in cycle I, and reached 85.71% in cycle II, exceeding the minimum completeness criteria (KKM) of 70. The findings indicate that the TPS model assisted by Polypad media effectively enhances student engagement, conceptual understanding, and learning outcomes in weight measurement material.
