Abstract

This research is aim to analyze the influence of various learning environments (physical, digital, and hybrid) on students' social behavior. This research aims to contribute valuable insights into the evolving educational landscape, offering practical implications for educators, school administrators, and policymakers in fostering holistic student development. This study is grounded in Vygotsky's Sociocultural Theory, which emphasizes the fundamental role of social interaction in cognitive and behavioral development.

This study demonstrates that students' social behavior is deeply influenced by the learning environment, whether traditional, digital, or hybrid. Well-structured and supportive learning environments, both physical and digital, promote positive social interactions, empathy, and teamwork among students. Future research should explore the long-term impact of different learning environments on students' social behavior, particularly in the context of evolving educational technologies.

Abstract

Generally, teaching writing is not an easy thing. This is because writing is more complex than other skills in English. This research aimed to find out the Indonesian English teachers’ problems and the strategies used in teaching and learning writing skills in the classroom. This research was conducted in MTs Al-Hidayah. The researchers occupied descriptive qualitative research as the research design. The data were collected by interviewing an English teacher and some students in the seventh grade, and by observing their classroom during teaching and learning writing skill activities. Besides, the researchers collected some documentation and video recordings to support the data and additional information. There were several results that the researchers found while conducting the research. The first result is about the problem faced by the English teacher which is related to the students’ ability. It consisted of the students' lack of vocabulary mastery, grammatical rules, low motivation, and lack of teachers’ class management. Then, the teaching strategy used by the teacher was the Grammatical Translation Method (GTM). Shortly, the problems faced by English teachers in teaching writing are mostly because of students’ lack of vocabulary and understanding of grammatical rules. To overcome those problems, the teacher applied the GTM. The function of this research is to give additional information to the teachers and readers about teachers’ problems and strategies of teaching writing.
