Abstract

Education is a very important activity in preparing children to face their future lives. In fact, the phenomenon of the educational process has existed since the beginning of human life, although its implementation was still very simple in the early stages. This study aims to determine the effect of the Talking Stick learning method on the Islamic Religious Education learning outcomes of eighth-grade students at SMPN Satap 2 Tinondo. This research employed a quantitative approach using an experimental method. The study sample consisted of 50 students selected from the entire eighth-grade population. The instrument used was a questionnaire that had undergone validity and reliability testing. Data analysis was carried out through normality, homogeneity, linearity, and t-tests. The results of this study indicate that the Talking Stick method has a significant effect on learning outcomes. However, field observations show that the success of learning is not solely determined by the method, but also by students’ readiness, activeness in discussions, and teacher support. Therefore, the Talking Stick method has a positive and significant effect, but its effectiveness can be optimized if supported by other collaborative and consistent learning strategies.

Abstract

The widespread use of social media has significantly shaped students’ communication patterns, yet its specific impact on the quality of academic writing remains underexplored, particularly among English language education students in Indonesian tertiary institutions. Addressing this gap, the present study examines how social media language influences the academic writing performance of 10 students in the English Education Department at Al Mawaddah Warrahmah Islamic Science University Kolaka. Data were collected through a questionnaire measuring students’ social media usage and perceptions, alongside an analytical writing task in the form of a short academic essay to identify the presence of informal language features. These features included abbreviations, slang, code-switching, and unconventional punctuation. The findings indicate that frequent social media engagement contributes to the unintentional transfer of informal expressions into academic writing. A total of 31 informal language instances were identified, with Pearson correlation analysis showing a moderate negative relationship (r = –0.42) between social media use and writing accuracy. Despite this, several students reported positive effects such as increased confidence, fluency, and exposure to new vocabulary. In conclusion, social media language exerts a dual influence—diminishing formality and accuracy while enhancing certain aspects of language development. These findings highlight the need for educators to incorporate digital literacy and targeted academic writing instruction to help students manage informal language interference and optimize the benefits of online language exposure.
