Abstract

This research delves into the implementation of digital-based reading comprehension test within educational environments, highlighting both its effectiveness and the challenges it presents. As digital learning tools become increasingly woven into educational curricula, this research investigates how technology can enrich the evaluation of reading comprehension. In a comprehensive exploration of pertinent literature, researchers analyzed the benefits and challenges associated with the implementation of digital-based reading comprehension test. Our key findings indicate that digital tests provide numerous benefits, including immediate feedback, adaptability, and enhanced accessibility, all of which significantly bolster students engagement and learning outcomes. Nonetheless, this research also addresses several challenges, such as technological constraints, gaps in digital literacy, and the necessity for well-structured test frameworks. This research culminates in a series of insightful recommendations aimed at educators and policymakers, advocating for integration of digital tests to enhance the development of reading comprehension skills among students.

Abstract

Writing skill is a crucial component of English language learning; however, it remains one of the most challenging skills for many senior high school students, particularly in narrative writing. In the current classroom context, students of grade XI-3 SMA experience specific difficulties in generating ideas, developing coherent story plots, and organizing events logically. Many students struggle to construct complete narrative structures, including clear orientation, complication, and resolution, which often results in fragmented and incoherent texts. Common problems include poor event sequencing, limited vocabulary, weak paragraphs, and low cohesion. These difficulties are closely related to instructional practices that emphasize the final written product rather than the writing process. Students are frequently asked to write narrative texts without sufficient guidance on planning, organizing, and developing ideas systematically. Consequently, students feel confused, unmotivated, and anxious, which negatively affects their writing performance. This situation indicates the urgent need for an effective instructional technique. Mind Mapping was selected to address these issues because it helps students brainstorm ideas, organize story elements, and maintain narrative coherence. This Classroom Action Research involving 34 students showed improved writing achievement, with mean scores increasing from 65.21 to 82.46 and more students reaching Good and Very Good categories overall.

Abstract

Education policy has become a prominent site of public discourse in Indonesia, particularly in relation to poverty reduction and social inequality. This study investigates the discursive construction of President Prabowo Subianto’s People’s Schools (Sekolah Rakyat) policy as represented in the Compas.id news article “Prabowo Inaugurates 166 People’s Schools. How is Their Education Managed?” published in January 2026. Adopting a descriptive qualitative design within a critical paradigm, the research employs Norman Fairclough’s three-dimensional Critical Discourse Analysis framework, encompassing textual features, discursive practices, and socio-cultural contexts. The analysis reveals that the news discourse predominantly represents the state as a moral and authoritative agent committed to social justice and national development, while framing People’s Schools as a humanitarian solution to structural poverty. Linguistic choices and narrative strategies tend to legitimize government authority and foreground benevolent intentions, whereas critical issues related to legal status and institutional integration within the National Education System receive limited emphasis. This research contributes to critical media and education policy studies by highlighting the role of news discourse in shaping public understanding of state-led educational reforms in Indonesia.
