Abstract

In Bangladesh, teaching English at the upper secondary level presents a serious challenge and a promising opportunity for educational advancement. The present study examines the complexities of teaching English writing beyond higher secondary education, highlighting the main barriers, and proposes practical recommendations for improvement. Data for this study were retrospectively collected from 120 teachers, students, and parents using a hard-copy survey, digital survey (Google Forms), and in-depth interviews conducted on both face-to-face and online sources. Using the Structural Equation Model (SEM) through Smart PLS 4, the study aimed to test the effectiveness of various teaching methods. The study findings highlight critical factors such as teacher training, curriculum design, and parent-student engagement, even in resource-scarce environments, that support the development of English writing skills. The study also identified the language proficiency gaps and explored how technology-enhanced and interactive teaching methods can improve writing instruction. Based on empirical evidence, this research proposes practical recommendations to overcome the current challenges and facilitate learning outcomes for both educators and students in Bangladesh.

Abstract

The use of e-comics in social studies learning is gaining popularity due to their ability to convey concepts visually. However, students still face difficulties in understanding the material, as e-comic storylines are often not contextual and do not present real-world problems. This study aims to develop KOMIK ALAM, a website-based e-comic learning media focused on natural resource utilization for Grade VIII students at MTs Negeri 2 Malang City. The research employs an R&D method utilizing the Design Thinking development model, which encompasses four stages: empathize, define, ideate, and prototype. The study focused on prototype development without proceeding to the test stage. Validation from subject and media experts, as well as a readability test with students, indicated that KOMIK ALAM is highly feasible. KOMIK ALAM is expected to serve as a visual and interactive learning media that presents contextual content and real problems to support diverse learning styles and increase student engagement. Future research should examine its effectiveness through experimental methods.

Abstract

The role of Social Studies teachers in internalising the value of Ahlussunnah wal Jamaah aims to form a religious character in students. Qualitative approach through phenomenological method by means of observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation studies. The results show that the school conducts the process of internalizing Ahlussunnah wal Jamaah values by habituating students to be moderate, tolerant, balanced, and inviting goodness while preventing evil. Social Studies teachers facilitate the internalization of Ahlussunnah wal Jamaah values through the stages of value transformation, value transactions, and value internalization. The limitations of inadequate technological facilities still hinder the Social Studies learning process. The results of this study indicate that, in the learning process, social studies teachers are not only focused on cognitive and psychomotor aspects as learning outcomes, but also should pay attention to affective aspects, which become an important factor in shaping the religious character of students.

Abstract

UIN Walisongo Semarang has implemented outreach initiatives to engage prospective students, but these endeavors often lack data-informed approaches. This research intends to analyze the potential of incoming students through K-Means and Fuzzy C-Means (FCM) clustering techniques. The dataset comprises admission information from 2022 to 2024, focusing on five key factors: gender, admission pathway, study program, school type, and geographic origin. Data preprocessing was performed before conducting the clustering analysis. The Elbow Method and Silhouette Score were utilized to identify the optimal K for K-Means, whereas the Fuzzy Partition Coefficient and Xie-Beni Index were applied for FCM. Findings indicate that K-Means generated more distinct cluster boundaries, while FCM provided adaptability with overlapping clusters. Principal Component Analysis and the Davies-Bouldin Index were employed to facilitate the assessment. The mapping results are displayed by faculty, showcasing regional patterns and student demographics. This research establishes a data-driven basis for UIN Walisongo's strategic recruitment and admissions strategies.

Abstract

Hindu Religious Education plays a strategic role in shaping the character of students based on Dharma values, especially in the era of globalization and digitalization, which is prone to moral disorientation. This study aims to examine the strengthening of Hindu religious education through curriculum innovation, the utilization of information technology, and the integration of local wisdom values in the learning process. This study employs a qualitative approach, drawing on a literature review that examines Hindu sacred texts, character education literature, and recent research findings on pedagogical challenges in the digital era. The results of the study indicate that effective Hindu religious education must be dynamic and adaptive without abandoning Hindu spiritual roots. Teachers as agents of change need to master the use of digital technology such as audiovisual media, online learning platforms, and interactive learning resources. A contextual approach, through the exploration of the Hindu Nusantara tradition, also strengthens the relevance of learning. This study highlights the importance of revitalizing holistic Hindu education by integrating philosophical, pedagogical, and technological aspects to cultivate a generation of intelligent, noble, and spiritually inclined young Hindus.

Abstract

Cross-cultural understanding is a crucial competency for students participating in international internship programs, particularly in Japan, which is known for its distinctive work norms and social values. This study aims to analyze the cultural understanding levels of students from the Japanese Language Education Program at Universitas Negeri Semarang who joined internships in Japan in 2023 and 2024. The data were collected through questionnaires distributed to 25 participating students. The results reveal that students' understanding of general culture was 24%, Japanese work culture 64%, and cultural aspects in Japanese communication 76%. The highest comprehension was in dining culture (92%), while the lowest was in workplace discipline (16%). These findings suggest a gap in students’ understanding of both general and work-specific Japanese culture. Theoretically, this study contributes to the discourse on the need to integrate Japanese work culture education into university curricula, thereby holistically preparing students for the cultural challenges they will encounter in the Japanese workplace environment.

Abstract

Differentiated learning can foster creativity, independence, and motivation to learn in students. However, misconceptions in understanding and implementing this approach produce negative outcomes. This study analyzes misconceptions in differentiated learning among Indonesian social studies teachers, examining their forms, causes, and impacts. A qualitative descriptive method was employed, utilizing structured and open-ended interviews conducted via Google Forms, with 126 randomly selected social studies teachers across Indonesia. Data were analyzed using the Miles and Huberman model. Results reveal significant misconceptions among Indonesian social studies teachers. Key findings include an overemphasis on learning styles (auditory, visual, kinesthetic) in teaching practices, uniform time allocation despite varying student abilities, and excessive reliance on group learning without considering individual student profiles, including those who prefer independent learning. These misconceptions reveal fundamental misunderstandings about the principles of differentiated instruction, underscoring the need for enhanced teacher training and professional development programs.

Abstract

This study was motivated by the low collaboration skills and learning outcomes in social studies subjects, which are attributed to monotonous learning methods and the underutilization of digital learning media. The research aims to analyze the effectiveness of the "Journey to Merdeka" educational game integrated with the Problem-Based Learning (PBL) model in enhancing students’ collaboration skills and learning outcomes. Employing a mixed-method research and development (R&D) approach, this study involved 8th-grade students from three junior high schools in Brebes Regency. Key stages included product design, validation, testing, and analysis using statistical techniques such as Wilcoxon and N-gain tests. Findings show a significant increase in collaboration skills—students categorized as "very good" rose from 10.81% to 97.30%—and improved learning outcomes, with an N-gain score of 0.6213 (moderate effectiveness). The results confirm that the educational game is valid and well-received, and effective in supporting active learning, problem-solving, and collaborative engagement in social studies.
