Abstract

Village-level public services constitute a critical interface between the state and citizens and play a pivotal role in shaping the quality of local governance and community trust. This study examines the implications of public service delivery for social life and public trust in Sukamerindu Village by analyzing service quality, structural constraints, and the use of information technology in village administration. Employing a quantitative explanatory design, data were collected through a structured questionnaire administered to 114 residents who had directly accessed village public services. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and simple linear regression with the support of SPSS. The findings indicate that the overall quality of public services is perceived as high, particularly in terms of officials’ attitudes, clarity of administrative requirements, and procedural simplicity. Nevertheless, respondents also reported moderate to high structural constraints, including unclear service workflows, limited administrative staffing, and inadequate facilities. The utilization of information technology has contributed to faster and more efficient administrative processes; however, its effects remain uneven due to disparities in digital access and digital literacy among residents. Regression analysis demonstrates that public service quality has a statistically significant influence on community life and public trust, accounting for 46.5% of the observed variance. These findings underscore that village public services extend beyond administrative functions and constitute a key determinant of social experience and institutional trust at the local level.

Abstract

This study investigated the relationship between students’ self-efficacy, learning strategies, and descriptive writing performance in an English as a Foreign Language (EFL) context. Conducted with 103 third-semester accounting students at the State Polytechnic of Ambon during the 2024/2025 academic year, the research employed a quantitative correlational design using purposive sampling. Data were collected through a writing self-efficacy questionnaire, a writing learning strategies questionnaire, and a rubric-based descriptive writing test. The instruments were validated and demonstrated high reliability (α = 0.91 and α = 0.88), with writing performance assessed through inter-rater scoring (Cohen’s Kappa = 0.85). Data analysis involved descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation, and multiple regression. Results revealed that while most students reported high self-efficacy and moderate use of learning strategies, their writing performance remained basic (A2 based on CEFR proficiency levels). Significant positive correlations were found between self-efficacy, learning strategies—particularly cognitive and metacognitive—and writing performance, though the overall contribution of these variables accounted for only 6.4% of performance variance. The findings highlight the need for instructional practices that integrate self-regulated strategies and scaffold writing development to bridge the gap between confidence and competence.

Abstract

This study investigates the integration of Quizlet as a digital tool to enhance English reading comprehension and vocabulary acquisition among second-semester Applied Business Administration students at Politeknik Negeri Ambon. The study addresses the urgent need to support ESP students who often struggle with discipline-specific reading due to limited academic vocabulary and low engagement, particularly in vocational higher education contexts. Using a mixed-methods design, data were collected from 45 students through pre-tests and post-tests, classroom observations, reflective journals, interviews, and Quizlet usage logs. Over eight instructional sessions, students engaged with Business Administration reading texts supported by Quizlet activities, including flashcards, games, and cumulative quizzes. Quantitative data were analyzed using paired-samples t-tests and effect size calculations to examine learning gains, while qualitative data were analyzed thematically to explore patterns of engagement and learner perceptions. The findings revealed significant improvements in vocabulary retention (+22.5) and reading comprehension (+23.2), with strong effect sizes. Weekly accuracy rates increased from 61% to 86%, and student engagement rose markedly, with active participation improving from 55% to 91%. Reflective data indicated a positive shift in students’ attitudes toward reading, from perceiving it as monotonous to viewing it as useful and engaging. These results highlight the pedagogical significance of integrating Quizlet as a supportive tool for fostering vocabulary development, reading comprehension, and learner engagement in ESP instruction.
