Abstract

One of the main drivers of human resource development is education. Particularly in coastal regions like Mantigola village, which is home to the Bajo tribe, Indonesia struggles to provide fair and high-quality education. One of the factors contributing to unequal access to education, according to the National Development Planning Agency (2014), is remote rural geographic settings. Aside from topographical issues, the primary concerns at Mantigola State Satap Middle School are inadequate infrastructure, low reading and writing literacy, and the pupils' fishing culture. The Merdeka Curriculum places a strong emphasis on creating learning experiences that are student-centered. Before establishing learning objectives, the Dick and Carey methodology provides a way to assess instructional needs using Front End Analysis (FEA). This study investigates how FEA is used at Satap Negeri Mantigola Middle School to create learning goals that are pertinent to the Merdeka Curriculum and appropriate for the students' setting. The implementation of FEA in this situation was examined using a qualitative descriptive case study methodology. The findings demonstrate how FEA aids in determining the needs, performance, and learning environments of students as well as in creating more purposeful and flexible learning objectives.

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to look into how eighth-grade students at MTs. Negeri 2 Ogan Komering Ilir's cooperative learning and learning motivation strategies affected their reading comprehension skills. The study investigated the effects of two independent variables—methods and learning motivation—using a 2x2 factorial design (with two levels: high motivation and low motivation). Four different groups were created out of the participants: class without treatment-low motivation, class without treatment-high motivation, cooperative learning-low motivation, and cooperative learning-high motivation. Tests and questionnaires were used to gather information about the participants' reading comprehension abilities. The results showed that students with varying levels of learning desire, as well as those who participated in cooperative learning and attended class without receiving any instruction, had differing reading comprehension abilities. Nevertheless, it was not discovered that there was a statistically significant interaction between cooperative learning and learning motivation. These findings imply that although learning motivation and cooperative learning both have an independent impact on reading comprehension, their combined effect could not have a substantial effect on students' performance in this specific situation. The results advance our knowledge of how technique and student motivation interact to improve reading comprehension abilities.

Abstract

English, as the lingua franca of our interconnected world, holds immense significance for contemporary students. Its status as a global language transcends borders, enabling communication across diverse cultures, industries, and regions. Proficiency in English is not merely a skill but a gateway to numerous opportunities, such as accessing international academic resources, participating in global job markets, and fostering cross-cultural understanding. This research underscores the critical role of English in modern education, highlighting its function in facilitating global collaboration and access to critical educational resources. Most scholarly literature and leading educational materials are in English, making proficiency in the language essential for keeping up with developments across various fields.This study employed a qualitative research design to explore the role of the "Work in Progress" English textbook within the learning environment at SMKN 1 Penukal Utara. The qualitative approach enabled an in-depth examination of students' perceptions of the textbook, their responses to its teaching methodology, and the contribution of the textbook to their English language proficiency. Findings from the study reveal that the textbook incorporates a significant number of Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) questions, particularly for 10th-grade students. Approximately 70% of the textbook's content focuses on enhancing students' analytical and problem-solving skills, aligning with its overarching goal of deepening students' understanding of the English language. The integration of HOTS questions in each thematic unit significantly contributes to the development of students' higher-order thinking abilities.
