Abstract

This study investigates the role of formulaic expressions in enhancing the writing skills of Islamic elementary students through the lesson study framework. It is due to the fact that many students in Islamic Elementary School (Madrasah Ibtidaiyah) deal with some challenges in developing writing fluency, coherence, and grammatical accuracy. This study aims to explore how formulaic expressions, combined with the iterative cycles of lesson study, can improve these skills. The method of this study uses classroom observations, interviews with teachers and students, and assessments of students' writing performance across two lesson study cycles. This study resulted a significant increase in student engagement, fluency, and overall writing competence due to the structured integration of formulaic expressions with lesson study. This study also highlights the effectiveness of using formulaic language to reduce cognitive load and enhance linguistic scaffolding in writing tasks. It also implies that this approach can be applied to various educational settings to support writing development in young learners.

Abstract

The complex cultural and linguistic competencies essential for Indonesian language education highlight the need for instructional models that enhance student engagement and conceptual understanding. Conventional textbook-based instruction often fails to address these needs, particularly for at-risk learners who struggle with abstract reasoning and cultural interpretation. This study examines the effectiveness of integrating decision-aid science into game-based interactive textbooks to improve student engagement and conceptual mastery. Employing a quasi-experimental mixed-methods design, this research involved 70 high school students divided into experimental and control groups. The experimental group used an interactive digital textbook embedded with decision-oriented simulations and real-time feedback, while the control group received traditional instruction. Quantitative results show that students in the experimental group demonstrated significantly greater gains in conceptual understanding, especially among moderate- and high-risk learners (p < .001), whereas the control group exhibited negligible improvement. Qualitative findings further indicate that decision-based simulations fostered meaningful engagement, enhanced the clarity of abstract concepts, and reduced performance pressure. The novelty of this study lies in demonstrating how decision-aid science—typically applied in cognitive and behavioral research—can be operationalized within digital language learning environments to scaffold reasoning, strengthen motivation, and create low-stress learning conditions.
