Abstract

This study explored the implementation of Multiple Intelligences (MI) based assessments integrated with local wisdom in the English language teaching context at SMP Muhammadiyah Tersono, under the Merdeka Curriculum. It is a qualitative phenomenological approach, data were gathered from two English teachers of grades 7 and 8 through participatory observations, in-depth interviews, and document analysis. Findings reveal that MI-based assessments enhance students' engagement and learning outcomes, particularly in logical-mathematical and interpersonal intelligences. The integration of local wisdom fosters a culturally relevant and meaningful learning experience, aligning with the curriculum's holistic education goals. However, challenges persist, including limited resources and varying teacher competencies in applying MI principles effectively. The study discovers the importance of continuous professional development for teachers to enhance their understanding and implementation of MI-based assessments. This research contributes to the body of knowledge on MI and culturally integrated education, providing practical insights for educators and policymakers. Future studies are recommended to explore broader applications and long-term impacts of MI-based assessments in diverse educational settings.

Abstract

Academic writing is a central competency in higher education, yet many students struggle to meet the demands of disciplinary courses, particularly in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) context. Collaborative learning, grounded in social constructivist theory, has emerged as a promising pedagogical approach to enhance writing development by fostering interaction, peer feedback, and shared knowledge construction. This systematic literature review synthesizes empirical studies published between 2020 and 2025 that examine the implementation of collaborative learning in higher education settings. This study aims to determine the implementation of collaborative learning in EFL writing classroom (benefits and challenges) using the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method. The SLR method is employed to rigorously identify, examine, evaluate, and interpret the body of existing research concerning a specified phenomenon, guided by clearly defined research questions. This approach enables the systemic identification of relevant scholarly works, with each phase conducted in accordance with predetermined, standardized procedures or protocols. The results indicate that collaborative learning in EFL writing instruction in higher education context boosts organization, grammar, vocabulary richness, fluency, and the ability to structure idea effectively. The students feel more motivated, confident, and less anxious, aligning with the social constructivist view that deeper language development emerges through interaction, meaning negotiation, and collaborative problem solving.
