Abstract

Palembang Wayang is a local cultural heritage that is increasingly unfamiliar to younger generations. Integrating this heritage into Indonesian language instruction—especially Grade 12 historical narrative text learning—may strengthen cultural awareness while improving students’ comprehension. This study employed a qualitative descriptive design as the needs-analysis stage of an RD process. Data were collected at SMA Unggul Islam Al-Fahd, South Sumatra, through a semi-structured interview with one Indonesian language teacher and questionnaires (Likert-scale and open-ended items) completed by 57 Grade 12 students. Data were analyzed thematically to identify users’ needs, deficiencies in existing resources, and desired features for digital learning media. Most students reported difficulties in learning historical narrative texts, particularly in identifying key information and interpreting values embedded in the text. Existing learning resources (textbooks and worksheets) were perceived as insufficiently engaging and not fully effective in supporting independent learning. Both students and the teacher strongly supported the development of an innovative, interactive e-module featuring Palembang Wayang historical narratives, enriched with attractive visuals, multimedia elements, clear learning guidance, and structured assessments. The findings indicate an urgent need for culturally contextualized digital teaching materials. A flipbook-based e-module is expected to enhance engagement and comprehension while supporting local cultural preservation, providing a grounded basis for subsequent design, development, and field testing stages.

Abstract

This study examines the reading abilities of slow learner students in inclusive elementary schools, focusing on their strengths and weaknesses in accuracy, fluency, vocabulary (receptive and expressive), and comprehension (listening and reading). A quantitative descriptive approach was employed, involving 25 slow learner students (n=25) from inclusive elementary schools in Yogyakarta with IQs ranging from 70 to 88. Data were collected through adapted reading assessment instruments and IQ tests using the Binet and WISC scales. Descriptive statistics were used for analysis. The findings reveal that most slow-learner students were male and were more easily identified at higher grade levels. In lower grades (grades II and III), students demonstrated strengths in receptive vocabulary and listening comprehension but faced challenges with expressive vocabulary, reading accuracy, fluency, and text comprehension. In contrast, higher-grade students (grades IV to VI) showed improvements in receptive and expressive vocabulary and listening comprehension but continued to struggle with reading accuracy, fluency, and comprehension of complex texts. These results underscore the need for targeted interventions. For lower-grade students, enhancing reading accuracy and fluency is crucial, while for higher-grade students, the focus should shift to improving reading comprehension. Early and tailored support is essential to help slow learner students overcome reading barriers and achieve their academic potential, ensuring their inclusion in educational progress.

Abstract

Language textbooks mainly guide language learning and teaching activities. Most of the language textbooks used to comprise a range of visual texts, such as pictures, illustrations, and photos. The study adopts the Visual Grammar Theory by Kress and Leeuwen (2006) to elucidate the pedagogical functions of visual images and explore how such images can be exploited for learning tasks from a micro multimodal perspective. The data consist of 142 visual images in Indonesian senior high school EFL textbook grades ten (X) and eleven (XI). The findings pointed out that the textbook uses visual images' full potential to fulfill pedagogical aims. Many visual images or texts in language textbooks serve information and illustrations rather than as a decorative function. Visual images may assist students to engage effectively in learning tasks by emphasizing the meaning of information presented in images and text. This study suggests that learning activities should consider multimodal texts to contribute significantly. This research aims to enhance knowledge about the pedagogical function of visual images in textbooks and can be a reference for further exploration.

Abstract

The intersection of digital economy and education has gained significant academic attention over the past decade, particularly with the increasing influence of artificial intelligence, big data, and platform-based learning. However, a comprehensive understanding of the field's evolution remains limited. This study conducts a bibliometric and systematic review of 201 peer-reviewed journal articles published between 2014 and December 2024, retrieved from the Scopus database. The PRISMA framework guided the selection process. Bibliometric performance analysis and science mapping were carried out using VOSviewer, RStudio, Excel, and OpenRefine to explore publication trends, key themes, influential authors, and emerging research fronts. Findings reveal three dominant thematic clusters: technological innovation (e.g., economic growth, energy efficiency), advanced technologies (e.g., AI, big data, e-learning), and human-centered education (e.g., equity, curriculum design, sustainability). The number of publications peaked between 2020 and 2022, correlating with global shifts due to COVID-19 and increased digital adoption. Despite strong research output, underexplored areas remain, such as Industry 4.0, ethical AI use, and smart mobility in education. This study identifies critical gaps and suggests future research directions, including the need for inclusive digital infrastructure, ethical governance of educational AI, and sustainable models of digital transformation. A conceptual framework is proposed to guide interdisciplinary inquiry at the intersection of education and the digital economy.

Abstract

This research addresses the need for localized history learning resources by developing an E-catalog of Dutch Colonial Heritage in the Bekri area of Central Lampung for use in SMAN 2 Metro. The objectives are: (1) to analyze students' learning needs, (2) to design an E-catalog as a local history learning source, and (3) to assess expert and practitioner feedback on the E-catalog design. The study employs the Research and Development (RD) method. Data collection techniques include observation, interviews, questionnaires, and documentation. The validation process involves both media and material experts, followed by small group testing. The developed E-catalog showcases various Dutch colonial buildings from 1916 to 2024 in Bekri. Validation results indicate high feasibility. Material expert validation yielded an 80% score, categorized as "very good," while media expert validation scored 91%, also categorized as "very good." In small group testing involving ten students, five students rated the E-catalog as "very suitable" (100%), one student gave a "very suitable" score of 90%, one student rated it 85% ("very decent"), two students rated it 80% ("decent"), and one student rated it 60% ("quite decent"). The findings suggest that the E-catalog is a valid and effective local history learning resource. However, further large-scale testing is recommended to generalize the results. Future research may explore integrating interactive elements to enhance student engagement.

Abstract

Student exchange programs such as Merdeka Belajar Kampus Merdeka (MBKM) offer valuable opportunities for pre-service teachers to gain teaching experience, enhance language skills, and develop intercultural competence. However, limited research has explored participants’ lived experiences and perspectives within these programs. This qualitative study investigated the experiences and perspectives of five Indonesian pre-service English teachers who participated in the MBKM student exchange program for one semester. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews and a focus group discussion, then analyzed using thematic analysis to identify key themes. The findings revealed that participants experienced notable professional and personal growth. Key experiences included virtual teaching, classroom observations of diverse pedagogical methods, improved English language proficiency, and enhanced cultural adaptability. Participants also articulated their perspectives on the student exchange program across three main dimensions: the program’s definition, its academic and cultural scope, and its perceived significance. They recognized the program as a platform for cross-cultural engagement and professional development. The MBKM student exchange program positively impacted the participants by broadening their pedagogical insight, fostering language development, and strengthening their readiness to teach in diverse contexts. These findings suggest that such programs are instrumental in preparing globally competent educators. This study underscores the value of student exchange initiatives in teacher education. Institutions and policymakers are encouraged to sustain and expand such programs to maximize their benefits for future educators.

Abstract

The integration of instant messaging services into educational settings has become increasingly prevalent, providing unique opportunities for enhanced communication and learning. This study aimed to examine the viewpoints of educators and students regarding the use of instant messaging services, such as WhatsApp, in their translation education and instruction. The study employed a qualitative research approach, specifically content analysis, to examine the utterances of two translation lecturers and fifteen ESP students. The results revealed that participants unanimously agreed that instant messaging services facilitated their teaching and learning of translation by using consistent terminology and rephrasing complex tasks to provide guidance throughout the chat. This approach enriched the translation understanding of ESP students. The study suggests using one consistent term to refer to the translation process throughout the text. In conclusion, chatting applications like WhatsApp are powerful and efficient communication tools that can facilitate an engaging, authentic, and meaningful learning experience when effectively included in English for Specific Purposes (ESP) classrooms for online translation interactions.

Abstract

Mastery of mufradat (vocabulary) and qawaid (grammar) is crucial in Arabic language acquisition at all educational levels, including at Madrasah Aliah YMPI Rappang. Proficiency in these areas is strongly linked to students’ ability to produce insya' muwajjah (guided writing). This study employed an ex post facto design to examine the relationship between mufradat and qawaid mastery and Arabic writing skills. The population consisted of 113 eleventh-grade students, from which a sample of 53 was selected through proportionate stratified random sampling using the Slovin formula. Data collection involved standardized tests measuring vocabulary, grammar, and guided writing proficiency. Analysis was conducted using product-moment correlation and multiple linear regression techniques. Findings revealed that mufradat mastery (X₁) had a significant positive effect on writing skills (Y), with a correlation coefficient of 0.140. Qawaid mastery (X₂) showed a stronger impact, with a coefficient of 0.536. Combined, both variables significantly influenced writing ability, as evidenced by an F-value of 22.879. These results underscore the importance of integrating vocabulary and grammar mastery into the Arabic curriculum to enhance students’ writing competence. Targeted instructional strategies focusing on both elements can substantially support students’ language development.

Abstract

This study aims to investigate the role of Arabic language lecturers as academic advisors in the IAIN Kendari students' completion process. Using four faculties as the location for this study, snowball sampling was used to select eight students and nine Arabic lecturers for separate interviews and observations during the consultation process in the 2020/21 academic year. The data analysis phase was conducted using the Miles and Huberman method and the Academic Advisor theory. As academic advisors, the results indicate that Arabic language lecturers play three crucial roles: motivators, initiators, and problem solvers. This research has implications for academic advising policies and on-time student graduation.

Abstract

Differentiated instruction (DI) is a key component of Indonesia’s Merdeka Curriculum, aiming to address diverse student needs. However, its implementation in Islamic Religious Education (PAI) remains underexplored, particularly across different school contexts. This qualitative comparative case study examined how DI is implemented in PAI at two contrasting junior secondary schools: MTs Al-Azhar Center Baturaja (Islamic) and SMP Negeri 1 OKU (public). Fifteen Grade VIII PAI teachers were selected via purposive sampling. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews, classroom observations, and document analysis, then analyzed using the interactive model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña. Trustworthiness was ensured through triangulation and member checking. Findings show that both schools have initiated DI practices by mapping students’ learning styles and abilities, developing adaptive teaching modules, and applying varied strategies integrated with religious values. However, DI is often misinterpreted as grouping by learning styles alone, with limited application of content and product differentiation. Major challenges include partial conceptual understanding, low digital literacy, limited infrastructure, and inconsistency between planning and classroom execution. The study reveals that while teachers are beginning to adopt DI in PAI, implementation remains superficial and fragmented. Institutional support, teacher professional development, and clearer operational guidance are essential to deepen DI practices and align them with the goals of the Merdeka Curriculum.
