Abstract

This study examines Mentimeter’s effectiveness in increasing student participation in an English as a Foreign Language (EFL) classroom. Using a qualitative case study methodology, the research was carried out in a third-year English language course at Universitas Negeri Makassar, using class observations, students’ focus group interviews, and a questionnaire as data collection techniques. The study also seeks to understand the students’ engagement, such as behavioral, emotional, and cognitive engagement, in working with Mentimeter during the lesson. The results show that Mentimeter has been beneficial for all levels of engagement. For behavioral engagement, targets increased to 85% in participation rates and 92% in attendance as learning was focused on interactive and gamified sessions. Emotional engagement was improved as 78% of students who attended the sessions enjoyed it, while 81% of students agreed that such activities enhanced their interaction with studies rather than being boring. Respondents indicated deeper critical thinking affecting cognitive engagement with 45 new ideas created in brainstorming sessions, and of the 76% engaged, they felt that they understood and remembered the material better. This research study proves that the Mentimeter is an effective instrument in instructing English language learners that utilizes a more sustained and engaged participation, invoking desired emotions and thinking more. These results support the argument that factors such as the use of Mentimeter will improve students’ learning engagement in an EFL setting.

Abstract

Islam as a religion covers various aspects of human life, but research on Islam is often limited to theological or historical perspectives. This research aims to develop a methodological framework that integrates multidisciplinary, interdisciplinary, and transdisciplinary approaches to understand Islam as a comprehensive way of life in the context of the Pancasila Student Profile Strengthening Project (P5). P5 aims to develop the character of students who are faithful and devoted to God Almighty, have a global outlook, cooperate, be self-reliant, and think critically, and creatively. To achieve this goal, a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) was conducted using methodologies and tools that support systematic thinking, identification, feasibility testing, and meta-analysis through journal articles, books, research reports, and other sources published in the last 10 years. Literature Selection and Quality Assessment consists of Inclusion Literature that discusses about Multidisciplinary approaches are used to combine perspectives from sociology, anthropology, psychology, and economics. The interdisciplinary approach integrates theories and methods from different disciplines to create a deeper understanding of how Islamic teachings can support the character development of Pancasila learners. The transdisciplinary approach involves collaboration between academics and practitioners from different fields to produce practical solutions based on academic research from Google Scholar, Semantic Scholar, Eric, Crossref, and Science Direct databases. The research findings show that Islamic teachings influence public policy and governance, and interact with local culture in daily religious practices. The integration of Islamic teachings with Pancasila values can teach students about the importance of social justice, collective responsibility, and mental health.
