Abstract

This study examines the impact of deep learning-supported game-based learning on literacy skills in primary school students in Indonesia. A four-month intervention involving 32 fifth-grade students used adaptive educational games to target phonemic awareness, vocabulary, and reading comprehension. Utilizing a quasi-experimental design with pre-test and post-test assessments, the study found an average literacy score increase of 31.84 points post-intervention. Students from lower socioeconomic backgrounds showed the greatest improvement, indicating the potential of adaptive, technology-assisted education to reduce learning disparities. The use of deep learning models to personalize feedback and adjust content to individual needs was key to enhancing student engagement. The findings suggest that integrating deep learning with game-based learning can significantly boost literacy outcomes, especially in under-resourced settings. Further research is recommended to evaluate these interventions across broader populations and extended timelines

Abstract

Penggunaan eBook interaktif dalam proses pembelajaran di era digital saat ini dianggap mampu memberikan dukungan positif terhadap peningkatan kemampuan akademik siswa. Para akademisi berlomba-lomba mengembangkan eBook interaktif di bidangnya sebagai salah satu upaya pembaruan dan peningkatan kualitas belajar mengajar. Salah satunya adalah pengembangan buku elektronik di Unviersitas Muhammadiyah Enrekang berupa buku ajar interaktif Bahasa Inggris dasar untuk mahasiswa Non Pendidikan Bahasa Inggris. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengidentifikasi persepsi pengguna (mahasiswa) terhadap penggunaan eBook tersebut khususnya dalam meningkatkan kemampuan menyimak Bahasa Inggris. Penelitian ini menggunakan desain penelitian kuantitatif dengan metode survei. Instrumen yang digunakan untuk mengumpulkan data adalah kuesioner. Data yang dikumpulkan terdiri atas 4 kategori yakni, perasaan mahasiswa terhadap penggunaan eBook, manfaat eBook, kekurangan eBook, dan karakter SDL. Terdapat 189 siswa sebagai sampel dalam penelitian ini yang dipilih menggunakan teknik total sampling. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa para siswa senang menggunakan eBook dan oleh karena itu mereka berpikir bahwa eBook dapat membantu mereka memperluas kosakata dan pemahaman mereka. Selain itu, eBook interaktif dapat mengembangkan kemampuan belajar mandiri mereka. Namun kekurangan dari penggunaan eBook ini yaitu dapat menghabiskan kuota internet cukup banyak.

Abstract

This study aims to explore the forms and strategies of integrating Social Emotional Learning (SEL) in English learning in elementary schools, as well as identify opportunities and challenges that arise in its implementation. This study uses a qualitative approach with an exploratory study design. The research subjects consisted of six female English teachers who taught elementary school students in English course institutions. Data was collected through in-depth interviews and classroom observations, then analyzed using a thematic analysis approach. The results show that teachers have implicitly integrated SEL principles in learning practice through various strategies, such as creating a positive and inclusive learning atmosphere, using collaborative activities such as games and storytelling, and providing positive reinforcement to foster students' empathy and confidence. SEL integration has been proven to open opportunities for strengthening social relationships between students, increasing learning motivation, and developing a more balanced character between cognitive and affective aspects. However, this study also found a number of challenges, including time constraints, the dominant focus on learning aspects, and the lack of teacher training in the systematic implementation of SEL. The results of this study confirm the importance of institutional support and the development of contextual SEL-based learning models in English learning at the elementary school level.

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to examine the extent to which Case-Based Learning (CBL) plays a role in developing critical thinking skills of students of the Chinese Language Education Study Program. Critical thinking skills are seen as one of the main competencies in 21st-century higher education, especially in foreign language learning which requires students not only to master linguistic aspects, but also to understand the socio-cultural context. This study used a quasi-experimental design with a non-equivalent control group pattern involving 40 students in the odd semester of 2024/2025, consisting of 20 experimental group students taught with CBL and 20 control group students taught by conventional methods in the form of lectures and practice questions. The research instrument is in the form of a critical thinking essay test based on the California Critical Thinking Skills Test (CCTST) indicator, which is validated by experts and tested for reliability. Pretest and posttest results data were analyzed using normalized gain (N-gain) scores to assess learning effectiveness. The results showed that the experimental group obtained an average N-gain of 0.763 (high category) with a range of 0.54–1.00, while the control group only achieved an average N-gain of 0.45 (medium category) with a range of 0.23–0.80. These differences in achievement confirm that CBL is more effective than conventional methods in improving students' ability to analyze, evaluate, and interpret. Thus, it can be concluded that the application of CBL makes a significant contribution to the development of students' critical thinking skills, as it encourages them to connect theory with practice through authentic case analysis. These findings recommend that CBL be systematically integrated into the Chinese language learning curriculum to produce graduates who are critical, reflective and adaptive in the face of global challenges.

Abstract

Access to quality education in remote areas remains a global challenge, particularly in achieving Sustainable Development Goal 4 (SDG 4). This study explores the effectiveness of cooperative learning strategies in addressing educational disparities faced by students in rural communities in South Sulawesi, Indonesia. A qualitative approach was employed, involving semi-structured interviews with 12 teachers and 24 students from four public junior and senior high schools in isolated mountainous villages. Classroom observations were also conducted to triangulate the data. Thematic analysis revealed that cooperative learning enhanced studentsÔÇÖ critical thinking, encouraged active participation, and improved peer collaborationÔÇöespecially when supported by teacher facilitation, culturally relevant materials, and low-tech group projects. However, challenges such as limited access to learning materials, unstable electricity, and language diversity emerged as barriers. Students shared that working in groups helped them ÔÇ£grasp difficult topicsÔÇØ and ÔÇ£build confidence to express opinions.ÔÇØ The study underscores the potential of cooperative learning to reduce educational inequality in under served regions, while also highlighting the need for longitudinal research on the integration of emerging technologies such as AI and VR in remote settings. The findings provide practical recommendations for educators, policymakers, and stakeholders committed to inclusive and sustainable rural education aligned with SDG 4.
