Abstract

The Independent Curriculum promotes varied intracurricular learning, allowing content to be delivered more effectively. This enables students to have ample opportunities to delve deeper into concepts and enhance their core competencies. At the same time, educators are given the autonomy to utilize a range of instructional strategies tailored to students’ interests and learning needs. This research investigates how teachers and students perceive the application of the Independent Curriculum in English language instruction at the junior high school level. It further explores the challenges encountered and the strategies employed to address these issues. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, data were gathered through interviews and classroom observations. Participants in this study included English language teachers, students from Grades 7 and 8, as well as the principal and vice principal of SMPN 1 Sumenep. Data analysis was conducted in three phases: reduction, display, and conclusion drawing. The findings indicate: (1) most teachers and students maintain a favourable view of the curriculum’s implementation and demonstrate comprehension aligned with its principles; (2) English language teaching is guided by structured learning modules and emphasizes the development of the Pancasila Student Profile as a key element of the curriculum. Educators primarily implement problem-based and project-based learning methods; and (3) challenges faced by educators include insufficient human resource readiness, complexities of differentiated instruction, limited digital literacy, inadequate learning materials, and student disengagement during lessons.

Abstract

This study aims to explore the impact of using Wordwall as a technology-based learning media on the Indonesian language learning outcomes of fourth-grade students at SDN Babbalan. The rapid development of educational technology provides opportunities to enhance student engagement in the classroom; however, challenges such as limited infrastructure and teachers' digital skills persist. This research uses a quantitative experimental approach with a One-Group Pretest-Posttest Design. The study was conducted with a sample of 25 students, focusing on comparing pretest and posttest results to measure improvements in Indonesian learning after the implementation of Wordwall. Data were collected through pretest and posttest scores, followed by normality testing using the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, which showed normal distribution for both pretest and posttest (Sig. > 0.05). Homogeneity testing also indicated homogeneous data (Sig. > 0.05). Paired Sample T-Test results revealed a significant difference between pretest and posttest with a Sig. value < 0.001, indicating that Wordwall had a positive impact on students' learning outcomes. The average pretest score was 56.00, while the posttest score increased to 84.00. Additionally, the N-Gain analysis showed a value of 0.64, which falls within the moderate improvement category. This study recommends improving technology infrastructure in schools and providing continuous professional development for teachers to optimize the use of technology in education.  Keywords: Wordwall, Learning Media, Learning Outcomes, Indonesian Language, Elementary School
