Abstract

This research aims to explore the integration of Lev Vygotsky's Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD) theory in the context of Islamic Religious Education (IRE) and character-building, focusing particularly on fostering student autonomy. The study addresses the need for a more holistic educational approach in IRE and character-building, which emphasizes transmitting religious knowledge and values and cultivates essential life skills like independence. This literature study employs qualitative descriptive methods, analyzes learning materials in IRE and character-building textbooks, and evaluates how these materials support students in their ZPD. Results indicate that this education is crucial in instilling honest, responsible, and independent behavior involving physical, economic, intellectual, moral decision-making, and spiritual aspects. However, several sub-indicators of independence are not yet fully integrated into the curriculum, indicating room for further development. Applying ZPD in learning depicts a dynamic and interactive approach, with teachers acting as active facilitators. This research highlights the need for IRE and character-building teachers to utilize ZPD to enhance student understanding and independence, focusing on the practical application of Islamic values in daily life. This study opens new insights in Islamic education literature, emphasizing significant and applicable learning, and supports the development of independent individuals, both in action and belief. Consequently, this education reinforces the internalization of religious and moral values, shaping competent and independent individuals in modern society.

Abstract

The globalization wave has caused Indonesians to gradually lose and forget the values of local wisdom as the nation's assets and charm. The global community recognizes Indonesia as a society characterized by positive traits such as friendliness, courtesy, industriousness, altruism, openness, courage, and others. Initial observations at the State Islamic Institute of Palopo indicate that lecturers perceive that most students have lost the original character of the Indonesian nation. Implementing character education aligned with local wisdom values can address this issue. The research employed in this study is developmental research with the four D (4 D) model. Data collection techniques used include direct observation, interviews, and questionnaires. We can overcome negative student character issues using local wisdom and religious values. Every higher education institution requires character education guidelines that lecturers can use as a reference to cultivate positive student character. Higher education institutions can conduct character education through lectures, academic guidance, and real-life community service activities.

Abstract

This study explores the impact of organizational justice and emotional intelligence on counterproductive work behaviour at SMPIT Insan Madani, aiming to identify their individual and collective influences. Utilizing a quantitative ex-post facto approach, the research encompasses all 33 educators at SMPIT Insan Madani, employing probability sampling for equitable participant selection. Data collection relied on questionnaires and documentation, analyzed using SPSS version 20 for descriptive and inferential statistics. Findings revealed a significant relationship between organizational justice and counterproductive work behaviour, highlighted by a t-value of 35.023 and a significance level below 0.025. Emotional intelligence also significantly affected counterproductive behaviours, as evidenced by a t-value of 1.896 with a significance below 0.025. Furthermore, the combined effect of organizational justice and emotional intelligence on such behaviours was statistically significant, indicated by an F-value of 125.640, exceeding the F-table value of 2.922, and a significance level above 0.05. A high coefficient of determination (94.5%) suggests these factors are pivotal in influencing counterproductive work behaviour at SMPIT Insan Madani, underscoring the importance of fostering a just organizational environment and enhancing emotional intelligence to mitigate negative workplace behaviours.

Abstract

This study explores developing and implementing integrated teaching materials using Liveworksheets and a contextual approach to enhance learning processes in fourth-grade classrooms. Acknowledging the growing influence of technology in education, this research underscores the necessity for practical teaching resources that can enhance student engagement and comprehension. Employing the ADDIE model for its systematic development process, the study conducted a comprehensive analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation of the materials. Validation by expert reviewers in language, content, and design affirmed the materials' high validity, with scores between 94% and 95%. Practicality assessments involving 18 fourth-grade students and their teacher demonstrated the materials' effectiveness, achieving an efficient rating with an average score of 94.16%. The findings suggest that Liveworksheets-assisted teaching materials, enriched with a contextual approach, significantly contribute to a more interactive and understanding-focused learning environment. This study highlights the potential of digital tools in enhancing the educational experience, offering a valuable resource for educators seeking to incorporate technology into their teaching strategies.

Abstract

This study aims to evaluate the impact of implementing a hybrid training system in language teaching at Algerian universities during the Covid-19 pandemic. This research aims to understand students' perceptions and satisfaction and the effect of distance learning on their learning process. The methodology employed in this study is a mixed-methods approach, combining qualitative and quantitative techniques. A survey was conducted with 200 third-year students majoring in French Language and Literature, using online questionnaires and interviews to collect data on their experiences with the hybrid training system. Data analysis was performed using descriptive methods and content analysis. The study results indicate that 68% of students reported satisfaction with the hybrid training system, primarily due to the flexibility and variety of learning media. However, 23% of students complained about poor internet connection quality, and another 22% faced technical limitations such as a lack of devices. Overall, students appreciated the availability of instructors to answer questions online and provide prompt feedback. The implications of this study suggest that hybrid training has great potential to enhance the quality of language teaching in the digital era, although technical challenges still need to be addressed. The findings of this research can be used to develop more effective and adaptive training programs and to improve technical infrastructure to better support hybrid training in the future.

Abstract

This research investigates the difficulties non-major students face in English listening comprehension, focusing on those who have undergone a TOEIC-oriented English module. Listening is a critical skill for effective communication, yet many learners find it challenging. The study identifies specific listening obstacles and evaluates students' performance across different listening tasks. A descriptive statistical approach was employed, with data collected via a listening test based on the TOEIC format, administered to 190 first-year students at Dong Nai Technology University. Results indicate that students perform better in tasks involving discrete statements and responses but struggle significantly with conversations and monologues, which require more complex listening skills. The analysis reveals that while students can manage straightforward, detailed information, their inferencing abilities and handling of long, complex sentences are inadequate. These findings suggest a need for targeted instructional strategies to enhance listening comprehension, particularly in making inferences and processing detailed auditory information. Improving these skills is essential for students' overall listening proficiency and success in TOEIC and real-world communication.
