Abstract

The study's background stems from the low mathematics learning outcomes and critical thinking skills of students, which are a result of limited supporting learning media. Therefore, this study intends to develop an interactive mathematics e-module aimed at improving learning outcomes and critical thinking skills of fifth-grade elementary school students on spatial geometry material. The research method used is the ADDIE (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, Evaluation) development model. We conducted this research in class V of Kyai Ibrahim Elementary School. The results of the study indicate that the interactive e-module developed is very feasible, with media expert validation of 95.3%, material expert validation of 91.7%, and learning device expert validation of 89%. The practicality of this e-module is supported by the results of teacher responses of 96% and student responses of 93%, which are categorized as very practical. The product's effectiveness is shown by the fact that 89% of students completed their learning in large classes during the implementation stage, and there was an improvement in learning results and critical thinking skills, with an N-Gain value of 0.72 (72.09%). Student activity during implementation also increased, with 89% categorized as very active. Thus, this interactive e-module has proven effective in improving learning outcomes and critical thinking skills among fifth-grade elementary school students.

Abstract

Despite years of English instruction, many Indonesian senior high school students remain hesitant to speak due to anxiety, fear of mistakes, and low self-efficacy. Speaking confidence is influenced by both internal factors, such as self-perception, motivation, and linguistic competence, and external factors, including teacher support, peer interaction, and classroom environment. This study aims to identify and analyze the internal and external determinants of students’ confidence in speaking English. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, data were collected through open-ended questionnaires distributed to 25 eleventh-grade students at MA Sirnamiskin Bandung. Responses were analyzed thematically to identify recurring themes. Findings reveal that psychological barriers—such as anxiety, low self-esteem, and fear of negative evaluation—significantly hinder students’ confidence. External elements, including supportive teacher feedback, peer encouragement, and school programs like English Day, were found to enhance confidence. Consistent practice through media exposure and real-life interactions also contributed positively. The study concludes that improving speaking confidence requires a holistic approach that addresses emotional, social, and experiential aspects of learning. These results provide practical implications for teachers and school administrators to design supportive and engaging speaking activities that foster students’ confidence in English communication.
