Abstract

The rapid integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in education has transformed learning environments in the era of Society 5.0, particularly in English language education, where critical thinking skills are increasingly required to support learners’ academic and digital competencies. This study investigated the relationship between AI-integrated English for Academic Purposes-Based Learning (EAPBL) and students’ critical thinking performance among English Language Learners (ELLs). The study employed a mixed-method explanatory sequential design involving 64 undergraduate students enrolled in English-related courses at Universitas Muhammadiyah Tangerang, Indonesia. Data were collected through questionnaires, performance-based assessments, AI-supported learning tasks, students’ reflective responses, and semi-structured interviews. The questionnaire measured AI engagement, AI literacy, cognitive engagement, and perceived critical thinking skills using a five-point Likert scale, while rubric-based assessments evaluated students’ written academic outputs. Quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, paired sample t-tests, multiple regression analysis, and Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). In contrast, qualitative data were analyzed through thematic analysis to support the interpretation of the quantitative findings. The findings revealed a moderate but statistically significant improvement in students’ critical thinking performance, with an overall post-test score of 46%. Among the five dimensions of critical thinking, interpretation demonstrated the highest performance, followed by argumentation, while analysis, evaluation, and synthesis remained relatively underdeveloped. The PLS-SEM analysis indicated that AI engagement significantly influenced cognitive engagement, which in turn contributed to students’ critical-thinking performance. In addition, AI literacy strengthened the relationship between cognitive engagement and critical thinking outcomes. Qualitative findings further revealed that AI-supported learning helped students organize ideas, generate initial responses, and improve learning efficiency; however, several participants demonstrated dependence on AI-generated responses, limited critical evaluation of AI outputs, and difficulty synthesizing multiple perspectives. These findings suggest that AI-supported learning can foster critical thinking when accompanied by active cognitive engagement and adequate AI literacy. The study highlights the importance of integrating digital, cognitive, and ethical AI literacy into English language education in the context of Society 5.0.Keywords: Society 5.0, Artificial Intelligence, Critical Thinking, English for Academic Purposes-Based Learning, AI Literacy

Abstract

The empowerment of entrepreneurship is of paramount importance in Indonesia, especially in rural areas, as an effort to enhance the well-being of the community. The thematic village program is considered one of the effective methods to facilitate entrepreneurship empowerment in rural areas. However, the success of this program greatly depends on the right communication strategies to promote and raise awareness about entrepreneurship within the community. This research aims to identify the types of effective communication strategies in building awareness and promoting the thematic village program for entrepreneurship empowerment in Bojong Renget Village. The theoretical framework used is Dell Hymes' SPEAKING framework, which will analyze the research subject from aspects such as Setting, Participants, Ends, Acts, Key, Instrumentalities, Norms, and Genre. This research employs a qualitative method with a descriptive approach. The result of this research is that the Bojong Renget Village Government is striving to enhance the economic potential and self-reliance of the community by prioritizing entrepreneurship. They involve individuals who are unemployed in the Thematic Village Program. Nevertheless, communication barriers between the village government and the village community remain a challenge in implementing entrepreneurship empowerment and the Thematic Village Program. The novelty of this research lies in its specific focus on communication strategies in entrepreneurship empowerment through the thematic village program in Bojong Renget Village.

Penelitian menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif dengan desain survei cross-sectional. Data dikumpulkan dari 100 wisatawan yang pernah mengunjungi geopark melalui kuesioner terstruktur yang diukur menggunakan skala Likert lima poin. Responden dipilih dengan teknik purposive sampling berdasarkan kriteria yang telah ditetapkan. Analisis data dilakukan menggunakan IBM SPSS Statistics versi 25, yang meliputi statistik deskriptif, uji validitas dan reliabilitas, uji asumsi klasik, korelasi Pearson, regresi linear sederhana, koefisien determinasi, dan pengujian hipotesis. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa seluruh item pengukuran dinyatakan valid dan reliabel, dengan nilai Cronbach’s Alpha sebesar 0,905 untuk variabel destination branding dan 0,893 untuk variabel kunjungan wisatawan. Destination branding memiliki korelasi positif yang kuat dengan kunjungan wisatawan, dengan koefisien korelasi sebesar 0,758. Hasil regresi menunjukkan bahwa destination branding berpengaruh positif dan signifikan terhadap kunjungan wisatawan, dengan koefisien terstandarisasi sebesar 0,758, nilai t sebesar 11,464, dan nilai signifikansi di bawah 0,001. Koefisien determinasi menunjukkan bahwa destination branding mampu menjelaskan 57,5% variasi kunjungan wisatawan, sedangkan sisanya sebesar 42,5% dipengaruhi oleh faktor lain di luar model penelitian. Temuan ini menegaskan bahwa identitas destinasi yang khas, citra positif, komunikasi yang efektif, serta keunikan yang jelas dapat memperkuat minat wisatawan, keputusan berkunjung, niat untuk berkunjung kembali, dan kesediaan untuk merekomendasikan destinasi. Oleh karena itu, pengelola destinasi perlu mengembangkan strategi branding yang konsisten, autentik, dan terintegrasi secara digital untuk meningkatkan daya saing serta daya tarik berkelanjutan Geopark Ciletuh–Pelabuhan Ratu.
