Abstract

This study explored 8th-grade students' expectations regarding English speaking materials integrated with intercultural content and peace education within the Merdeka Curriculum. The research aimed to examine how these materials support both linguistic development and the promotion of tolerance, empathy, and cultural understanding. A mixed-methods approach was employed, involving 60 eighth-grade students from Jembrana, a culturally diverse area. Results indicated that students valued vocabulary, grammar, and pronunciation exercises but identified a significant gap in materials that address peace education, conflict resolution, and respect for differing perspectives. Additionally, students expressed a desire for innovative, engaging speaking activities and contextually relevant materials that reflect both local and global cultures. These findings suggest that current textbooks fall short of students’ expectations for building intercultural competence and peaceful communication skills. The study’s insights offer essential considerations for enhancing English speaking materials to better meet students’ linguistic and cultural needs, preparing them for meaningful intercultural interactions in diverse environments.

Abstract

This research aimed to analyze English teaching materials that integrated cross-cultural and peace education, with a focus on speaking skills at the junior high school level. The method used was basic qualitative with document studies to obtain the data. The objects in this research were two books each from three different curricula, namely the 2006 KTSP curriculum, the 2013 curriculum, and the Merdeka curriculum. Two books per curriculum were sufficient to reflect important elements of the research topic, allowing for in-depth analysis without requiring excessive resources and time. The research instruments consisted of an observation sheet, comprehensive notes, and the researcher as the instrument. Data was collected by carrying out thematic analysis, with Inductive Thematic Analysis used to analyze the possibility of themes emerging from the data itself, not determined by pre-existing theories or expectations. The results showed that the 2006 KTSP curriculum provided a strong foundation but required additional interactive elements to deepen cultural understanding and improve speaking skills. The 2013 curriculum offered a more engaging approach but faced challenges in terms of consistency and support. The Independent Curriculum excelled at integrating cultural context and practical application but required effective monitoring and assessment to fully realize its potential. It was concluded that each curriculum had its own advantages and limitations.

Abstract

This systematic investigation delves into the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into educational interventions with the aim of fostering lifelong learning. The study examines the efficacy of AI-driven educational interventions, addressing key challenges and ethical considerations associated with their implementation, and proposing mitigation strategies. Drawing insights from a systematic review, the research highlights the transformative potential of AI technologies in promoting lifelong learning outcomes, including increased learner engagement, enhanced knowledge retention, and improved skill acquisition. However, the investigation also uncovers challenges such as disparities in access to AI-powered learning tools, algorithmic bias and discrimination, concerns about data privacy and security, and the potential depersonalization of education. Mitigation strategies are proposed to address these challenges, including investing in infrastructure and resources for equitable access, implementing transparent data collection and reporting practices, and fostering a human-centered approach to AI in education. By prioritizing ethical principles and values, stakeholders can harness the benefits of AI-driven educational interventions while safeguarding learners' privacy, autonomy, and well-being. The findings of this investigation contribute to the ongoing discourse on the responsible integration of AI into lifelong learning frameworks, providing insights and recommendations for educators, policymakers, and technology developers striving to create inclusive and equitable learning environments in the digital age.
