Abstract

This study aims to determine the influence of the culturally responsive teaching (CRT) approach on the critical thinking ability of fourth grade students in theme 8, subtheme 2, lesson 3 at MIS YMPI Tanjung Balai for the 2022/2023 academic year. This research uses a quasi experimental method, divided into an experimental group and a control group. The population and sample consist of 44 students with class IV A as the experimental class (21 students) and clas IV B as the control class (23 students). The data collection technique used is a critical thinking skills test, adapted to the students cognitive level according to Bloom’s Taxonomy (C4-C6). The data analysis technique employed is the independent sample t-test to determine whether there is an effect of using the culturally responsive teaching (CRT) approach on students critical thinking ability. Based on the research results, the average score for the experimental class was 81,13 while the control class average 65,40 as evidenced by the students post test results. Hypothesis testing showed a Sig. (2-tailed) result of 0.000 < 0.05, indicating that Ha is accepted, and H0 is rejected. This means that there is a significant influence of culturally responsive teaching (CRT) on the critical thinking ability of fourth grade students at MIS YMPI Tanjung Balai.

Abstract

The rapid development of artificial intelligence (AI) in education has not been fully matched by digital literacy and the readiness of prospective teachers to integrate it into learning. This study aims to analyze the perceptions of elementary school teacher education students regarding the use of AI in learning. A descriptive quantitative method enriched with qualitative data from semi-structured interviews was employed. The research involved 85 second- and fourth-semester students selected using incidental sampling techniques. Data were collected using a Likert-scale questionnaire for quantitative data, and interviews to deepen survey findings. Quantitative data were analyzed descriptively, while qualitative data were processed using thematic analysis techniques. The results revealed that most students had positive perceptions of AI, particularly in improving learning efficiency, facilitating access to information, and supporting content understanding. However, students also identified risks that need attention, such as the potential for plagiarism, excessive dependency, and a decline in critical thinking and social interaction skills. The study concludes that comprehensive AI literacy is essential for prospective teachers to optimize and responsibly utilize technology. The study recommends integrating AI literacy programs into teacher education curricula and conducting further research on the long-term impacts of AI implementation on learning outcomes in the digital era.

Abstract

This research explores the transformative role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in enhancing student engagement in higher education, specifically focusing on Educational Technology students at Yogyakarta State University, Indonesia. Through a descriptive quantitative approach, the study investigates how AI integration affects learning motivation, implementation patterns, and overall educational experiences in the digital era. A purposive sample of 25 fourth-semester students completed a structured questionnaire to assess their knowledge, usage patterns, and perceptions of AI in learning. Results revealed a high level of AI awareness (96%) and experience (100%) among students, though only 64% reported regular implementation in academic activities. Student perceptions were overwhelmingly positive, with 96% acknowledging AI's effective impact on learning, 92% reporting significant learning support, and 88% expressing intention to continue using AI in future studies. Despite these positive outcomes, the motivational aspect of AI received a comparatively lower rating (68%), suggesting areas for improvement. The study identifies AI's potential to create personalized, adaptive, and interactive learning environments while addressing concerns about over-reliance and ethical considerations. This research contributes to understanding how AI can be optimally integrated into higher education to enhance student engagement while maintaining fundamental educational values. The findings suggest that AI serves not as a replacement for educators but as a powerful complementary tool that transforms the educational landscape in the digital age.
