Abstract

Background: Thematic learning is an effective strategy to address the demands of 21st-century education by integrating critical thinking, collaboration, and creativity through contextual learning environments.Aim: This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the thematic approach in improving students' learning outcomes, motivation, and critical thinking skills in Natural and Social Sciences (IPAS) subjects at SMKN 1 Sukadana.Method: The research employed a quasi-experimental design with a pretest-posttest control group. A total of 70 grade XI students were selected as the sample through purposive sampling, divided into experimental and control groups (35 students each). Data were collected using learning outcome tests, motivation questionnaires, and observation sheets. Descriptive and inferential statistical analyses, including t-tests, were conducted after normality and homogeneity tests.Results: The thematic approach significantly enhanced learning outcomes, motivation, and critical thinking skills. The experimental group achieved a 100 percent success rate, compared to 48.57 percent in the control group. Variance in individual responses highlighted differing adaptations to this method.Conclusion: The thematic approach is effective in improving student engagement, motivation, and interdisciplinary learning outcomes, particularly in vocational education. These findings support its implementation as a cross-disciplinary teaching method and provide insights for educational policy development.

Abstract

Purpose this study was motivated by the limitations of English learning for visually impaired students, which is still dominated by the use of conventional Braille without audio support, resulting in less optimal understanding of pronunciation, vocabulary, and language context. The study aims to describe students’ perceptions, analyze the role of an AI-based Braille–audio dictionary in understanding abstract materials, illustrate active participation, and identify learning obstacles and experiences. Methods this research employed a qualitative approach with a phenomenological method. Data were collected through participatory observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation studies conducted at SLB Negeri Mempawah and SLB Negeri Rasau Jaya. Findings the findings revealed that the integration of Braille and audio improved students’ understanding of vocabulary, pronunciation, and language context more comprehensively. The media also encouraged emotional engagement, active participation, and learning independence. Although technical obstacles and the need to adjust the audio pace were identified, the AI-based Braille–audio dictionary remained effective and relevant in supporting inclusive learning. Research Implications the study suggests that integrating AI-assisted Braille–audio learning media can enhance accessibility and learning outcomes for visually impaired students. The findings provide practical implications for educators, schools, and policymakers in developing more inclusive English language learning environments that support student participation, autonomy, and meaningful learning experiences. Originality this study offers a novel contribution by examining the use of an AI-based Braille–audio dictionary as an inclusive English learning tool for visually impaired students. Unlike conventional Braille-based learning resources, this approach combines tactile and auditory modalities, providing a more comprehensive learning experience that supports vocabulary acquisition, pronunciation development, and contextual language understanding.
