Abstract

Differences in students’ readiness, interests, confidence, and ways of learning require teachers to adjust instruction without reducing shared learning goals. This study explored the experiences of Grade IV, V, and VI classroom teachers in understanding, planning, implementing, and responding to the perceived benefits, constraints, and support needs of differentiated instruction. A qualitative phenomenological design was employed at SDN 202 Suryalaya, Bandung, Indonesia, with three classroom teachers purposively selected as participants. Primary data were generated through semi-structured interviews, while classroom observations and limited document review provided supporting evidence. The data were analyzed thematically through repeated reading, initial coding, category development, cross-participant comparison, theme construction, and interpretation. The findings show that teachers understood differentiated instruction as equitable adjustment rather than separate teaching for every student. They used initial assessments and knowledge of students’ characteristics to modify materials, grouping, scaffolding, activities, and learning products. Teachers perceived that these adjustments supported participation, confidence, and the visibility of abilities that were less apparent in written tasks. Implementation was constrained by preparation time, class size, limited resources, administrative demands, and difficulties in distributing attention. Sustainable implementation requires collaborative planning, adaptable learning resources, concise progress records, and classroom-based professional development.

Abstract

This study examined whether Systematic Vocabulary Instruction (SVI) could improve first-semester university students’ reading comprehension through three instructional cycles. Systemic vocabulary development emphasizes understanding vocabulary not as isolated words, but as a network of interconnected meanings, integrated within language structures and communicative contexts. The primary objective of this study is to evaluate how systematic vocabulary instruction can improve reading comprehension skills, with a focus on first-semester university students who frequently struggle with academic texts. Using a qualitative descriptive research design through Classroom Action Research (CAR), this study has been conducted in three cycles involving planning, implementation, observation, and reflection. Data were collected through classroom observations, student reflections, pre- and post-intervention assessments, and open-question, ensuring a comprehensive analysis of pedagogical changes and student progress. This research found that Reading Comprehension can be achieved through Systematic vocabulary development by strengthening and enriching the language education literature on systems-based instruction, it leads to fostering students' independence and creativity in language exploration, equipping them to navigate complex texts more effectively. However, when this method applied into unfamiliar themes with developed complex material, it led students to an abstract domain that requires intensive scaffolding
