Abstract

Student engagement has critical impacts on students to excel academically. Integrating social media in a classroom can potentially affect students engagement. The present study aims to examine student engagement in EFL writing using Double-Entry Journal (DEJ) on Instagram, to examine the correlation between cognitive engagement and achievement, and to reveal the challenges in implementing DEJ. The researchers employed a mixed-method design, involving 42 undergraduate students from the English Department of one of the state universities in Indonesia, and obtained the data through questionnaires, writing portfolios, and Instagram documentation. The close-ended and open-ended questionnaires were distributed to the students, whereas writing portfolios and Instagram documentation were observed to examine the students writing performance. The collected data were managed, classified, and analyzed. The findings reveal that the students are behaviorally, cognitively, and affectively engaged by DEJ assisted with Instagram. There was a positive correlation between cognitive engagement and writing achievement. Yet, challenges had been found, including lack of interaction, student anxiety, and insufficient knowledge during the learning process. The challenges are lessened when teachers and peers offer support with DEJ. The results provide pedagogical implications for teachers to employ instructional strategies that promote engagement in all three dimensions, behaviorally, cognitively, and affectively to attain the students outcomes.

Abstract

Writing is one of the most challenging skills for students to master in learning English. Many students face difficulties in organizing ideas coherently, developing paragraphs, and using appropriate vocabulary and grammar. The outlining technique, which involves creating a structured plan before writing, is considered an effective strategy to help students improve their writing skills. This study aims to investigate the impact of using the outlining technique on the writing ability of seventh-grade students at SMPN 1 Pakel. This study applied a pre-experimental design with a one-group pre-test and post-test model. The participants were 32 seventh-grade students of class VII-B. The instrument used was a writing test administered as a pre-test before the treatment and a post-test after the treatment. In analyzing the data, a paired-samples t-test was conducted using SPSS to determine whether there was a significant difference between the pre-test and post-test results. The findings showed that the students’ mean score improved from 55.47 in the pre-test to 74.84 in the post-test, indicating an overall increase of 19.37 points. Furthermore, the significance value of 0.00 < 0.05 confirmed that the outlining technique had a significant effect on students’ writing performance. Based on these results, it can be concluded that the outlining technique is effective in improving the writing ability of seventh-grade students at SMPN 1 Pakel

Abstract

The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies in education has gained significant momentum, particularly through AI-based writing assistants (AIbWAs), which offer considerable potential for enhancing the writing skills of EFL students. This explanatory mixed-methods study aimed to investigate EFL students' attitudes toward AIbWAs and explore their practices in academic writing classes. The participants were 83 EFL students from a private university in Indonesia. Quantitative data were collected through a closed-ended questionnaire using a 4-point Likert scale to measure cognitive, affective, and behavioral dimensions of students’ attitudes. The AIWAs examined included QuillBot, Grammarly, and ChatGPT. Based on attitude scores, students were categorized into four groups: embracing (31.3%), acceptance (38.6%), indifference (26.5%), and resistance (3.6%). The mean attitude score was 3.21, reflecting a generally favorable perception. Students in the embracing and acceptance groups reported frequent use of AIbWAs for grammar correction, paraphrasing, vocabulary enhancement, and idea development. Students in the indifference group used the tools sporadically, often citing uncertainty or lack of confidence in the AI output. The resistance group raised concerns about overreliance, academic dishonesty, and the potential loss of personal writing voice. Twelve students representing each group were selected for semi-structured interviews. Thematic analysis of interview data revealed three key themes: perceived usefulness in improving writing quality, trust and skepticism toward AIbWAs' suggestions, and the perceived need for human judgment and ethical boundaries in academic writing. The findings underscore the importance of targeted digital literacy and pedagogical guidance to support effective and ethical use of AIbWAs in EFL contexts

Abstract

Abstract: This study explores how fourth-grade students develop environmental character through the Adiwiyata Program in elementary schools. This study adopted a qualitative phenomenological approach. All fourth-grade students were observed to select information-rich participants through sampling. The final participants consisted of one Adiwiyata coordinator and three students representing different levels of environmental character. Data were collected through observation, semi-structured interviews, and documentation; interview data were analyzed using thematic analysis; The reliability of the findings was reinforced through triangulation and member checking. Students develop an environmentally conscious character through experiences and concrete actions to preserve the environment. Unlike previous research that emphasized program outcomes, this study explains how students internalize environmental values and apply them in sustainable actions through their life experiences. The findings suggest that environmental education is more effective when schools embed environmental values in daily learning experiences and provide ongoing opportunities for students to practice environmental responsibility.Abstrak: Penelitian ini mengkaji bagaimana siswa kelas empat mengembangkan karakter peduli lingkungan melalui Program Adiwiyata di sekolah dasar. Studi ini menggunakan pendekatan fenomenologi kualitatif. Seluruh siswa kelas empat diamati untuk memilih partisipan yang kaya informasi melalui proses pengambilan sampel. Partisipan akhir terdiri dari satu orang koordinator Adiwiyata dan tiga orang siswa yang mewakili tingkat karakter peduli lingkungan yang berbeda. Data dikumpulkan melalui observasi, wawancara semi-terstruktur, dan dokumentasi; data wawancara dianalisis menggunakan analisis tematik; reliabilitas temuan diperkuat melalui triangulasi dan pemeriksaan oleh partisipan. Siswa mengembangkan karakter peduli lingkungan melalui pengalaman dan tindakan nyata melestarikan lingkungan. Berbeda dengan penelitian sebelumnya yang lebih menekankan pada hasil program, penelitian ini menjelaskan bagaimana siswa menginternalisasi nilai-nilai lingkungan dan menerapkannya dalam tindakan berkelanjutan melalui pengalaman hidup mereka. Temuan penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pendidikan lingkungan lebih efektif ketika sekolah menanamkan nilai-nilai lingkungan dalam pengalaman belajar sehari-hari serta memberikan kesempatan berkelanjutan bagi siswa untuk mempraktikkan tanggung jawab terhadap lingkungan.
