Abstract

Objective: This descriptive quantitative study examined the reading interest profile of fourth-grade students at SDIT Insan Rabbani, Majalengka Regency, Indonesia, as a needs analysis for developing culturally responsive digital storybooks. The study aimed to identify students' reading interest across five indicators adapted from Burns and Lowe to provide an empirical basis for literacy-oriented instructional media. Method: The study involved all 34 fourth-grade students using a total sampling technique. Data were collected through a structured questionnaire measuring five indicators of reading interest: (1) need for reading materials, (2) efforts to seek reading materials, (3) enjoyment of reading, (4) desire to read continuously, and (5) follow-up actions after reading. The questionnaire was validated through expert judgment (CVI = 0.94) and demonstrated high internal consistency (Cronbach's α = 0.89). Data were analysed using descriptive statistics by calculating the mean score for each indicator. Results: The findings revealed a moderate-to-low and uneven reading interest profile. The highest mean score was obtained for the need for reading materials (75.42), while the lowest score was found for the desire to read continuously (65.36). Lower scores were also identified for efforts to seek reading materials (68.68) and follow-up actions after reading (68.17), indicating that students recognised the importance of reading but had not yet developed consistent, autonomous, and reflective reading habits. Novelty: This study contributes by providing an empirical reading interest profile that serves as a foundation for developing culturally responsive digital storybooks incorporating local wisdom, including local folklore, Sundanese cultural values, audio narration, interactive illustrations, vocabulary support, comprehension activities, and post-reading retelling tasks to enhance literacy engagement among elementary school students.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the dynamics of students’ needs for the development of interactive hypermedia in science learning to foster creative thinking skills and science process skills among prospective elementary school teachers. This study employed a quantitative descriptive approach using a questionnaire as the primary instrument. The participants consisted of 241 students from 13 Primary School Teacher Education programs across Indonesia. Data were collected through an online survey and analyzed using an interactive analysis model involving data collection, data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings reveal a very high level of need for the development of interactive hypermedia in science courses. Most respondents indicated that interactive hypermedia should integrate project-based learning tasks, brainstorming activities, inquiry training components, gamification elements, contextual materials aligned with the elementary school curriculum, and science literacy development. The results also indicate that although students strongly believe that interactive hypermedia can enhance creativity, communication skills, motivation, and engagement, its actual implementation in science lectures remains very limited. The novelty of this study lies in providing comprehensive empirical evidence regarding the specific design requirements of interactive hypermedia that systematically integrates creative thinking, science process skills, self-regulated learning, gamification, and contextual science literacy within a unified instructional framework for science education.

Abstract

This research aims to examine the formal aspects of the Silat Pangean dance, specifically its presentation style, function, and historical context, within traditional Malay wedding ceremonies in Mak Teduh Village. A qualitative methodology was employed over two months (June–July 2023) to investigate this complex social phenomenon. Subjects included the bride and groom, Silat Pangean teachers, dancers, musicians, and traditional and village leaders from Mak Teduh. Data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and document analysis. The analysis utilised data reduction, presentation, and conclusion-drawing techniques, while data veracity was ensured through source and method triangulation. The formal presentation of the Silat Pangean dance consists of four primary elements: (1) Movement, which includes togak ali, ompat steps, conncang, tikam, popat, and simbuh; (2) Floor design, utilising both straight and curved lines; (3) Musical accompaniment, featuring two drums and one tak-tawak; and (4) Costuming, which relies on standard attire without specialised make-up or clothing. This study provides a detailed, localised documentation of the formal choreographic structures and presentation styles of the Silat Pangean dance, specifically within Mak Teduh Village, preserving and analysing a specific cultural asset that has previously lacked comprehensive formal analysis in the context of informal community education.

Abstract

This study aims to investigate secondary school students’ vocabulary learning needs in web-based English as a Foreign Language (EFL) contexts by examining their learning goals, perceived vocabulary proficiency, learning preferences, learning challenges, and the use of web-based learning platforms. This study employed a descriptive needs analysis involving 63 Grade X students at a public senior high school in Indonesia. Data were collected through questionnaires, semi-structured interviews, and classroom observations. Quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, while qualitative data were analyzed thematically to support and enrich the quantitative findings. The findings indicate that most students perceive their vocabulary proficiency to be at the beginner level and demonstrate a strong need for contextualized vocabulary learning supported by multimedia features. Students also reported, difficulties related to limited vocabulary mastery, low vocabulary retention, and insufficient exposure to English outside the classroom. Furthermore, although students viewed web-based learning platform as beneficial for enhancing engagement, they emphasized the need for clear instructional guidance to maximize their learning effectiveness. Unlike previous studies that separately examined vocabulary learning or web-based technology, this study integrates students’ vocabulary needs, perceived proficiency, learning preference, learning challenges, and web-based learning expectations into a single comprehensive needs analysis. This integrated profile provides an empirical basis for designing learner-centered web-based vocabulary materials specifically for Indonesian secondary school EFL learners.

Abstract

Objective: This study aims to explore the perceptions of students in the Education Study Program regarding the use of AI in completing coursework. The presence of Generative AI such as ChatGPT, Gemini, and various other tools has changed the way students access information, process data, and even compile coursework. The placement of AI as a learning aid needs to be strengthened so that it does not become the primary and sole source used by students. Method: The method used in this study is a quantitative descriptive method. The research data was obtained based on the results of a questionnaire with 16 questions distributed to undergraduate students in the Education Study Program for the 2024/2025 Academic Year. The analysis steps include data tabulation, frequency distribution, and data interpretation. Results: The results show that AI is recognized as massively improving the quality of assignments (83.33%) and the ability to argue logically (77.78%). However, on the other hand, the majority of students (53.71%) realize that this technology triggers laziness in critical thinking. The use of AI also has a positive impact, namely as a personal assistant (87%) which is very effective in streamlining study time (94.45%) and improving material understanding. There is concern among students about plagiarism (92.60%) and recognition that the use of AI without personal contribution is cheating. Novelty: Based on these findings, the integration of AI ethics courses into the university curriculum is necessary. In addition, official guidelines and integrated AI literacy are needed to maintain the academic integrity of prospective educators in the era of digital disruption.

Abstract

Objective: This study aims to develop and conceptualize a qualitative assessment framework for local content education by examining how community-based cultural learning practices inform the construction and evaluation of assessment processes. It addresses the limitations of conventional assessment practices that emphasize surface recognition, product-based outcomes, and cognitive recall, while overlooking interpretative and reflective dimensions of learning. Method: This study employed a qualitative case study involving senior high school students, teachers, and cultural practitioners engaged in Cirebon mask learning. Data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation, and analyzed using thematic analysis to identify patterns of learning and emerging assessment practices. Results: The findings reveal that students’ learning is characterized by engagement, interpretative dialogue, and reflective meaning-making. Assessment emerges through interaction and participation rather than functioning as a predefined measurement system, indicating a misalignment between experiential learning processes and established assessment practices. Novelty: This study proposes a qualitative assessment framework consisting of recognition, interpretation, and reflection. The framework reconceptualizes assessment as an emergent, interpretative, and context-sensitive process, while also providing a basis for evaluating existing assessment practices beyond surface-level and product-oriented approaches in culturally grounded learning environments.

Abstract

Islamic boarding schools (pesantren) play a pivotal role not only as centers of Islamic education but also as potential drivers of community economic development. However, this potential often remains underutilized due to limitations in human resources, market access, and entrepreneurial innovation. In the context of globalization and sustainable development demands, pesantren are required to adopt more adaptive and creative strategies. One such approach is the santripreneur program, which empowers students (santri) with entrepreneurial skills grounded in Islamic values. This study aims to explore strategies for strengthening the economic resilience of pesantren through sustainable santripreneur initiatives and to examine their contribution to fostering community economic independence. This research employs a qualitative case study approach, utilizing observation, interviews, documentation, and literature review. Data were analyzed using the Miles, Huberman, and Saldana model, including data condensation, display, and conclusion drawing. The findings reveal that Wali Songo Ngabar Islamic Boarding School has successfully revitalized its economic system through santripreneurship. Various student-managed business units have been developed across sectors, including Islamic finance (BMT), retail and trade (minimarket and bottled water), production and creative industries (bakery, songkok, cleaning products, perfume), agriculture and livestock (farming, goat breeding, catering), and services (laundry, hotel, and meeting hall). These integrated business units form a sustainable economic ecosystem that enhances institutional financial independence while functioning as a practical entrepreneurship laboratory. Moreover, the program cultivates students’ character by fostering independence, creativity, teamwork, and an entrepreneurial spirit rooted in Islamic values, thus contributing meaningfully to broader community empowerment and sustainable development.

Abstract

This study aims to identify and explore how pedagogical communication strategies enhance the teaching skills of teacher education students through teaching simulations. Pedagogical communication-based simulations were designed to strengthen students’ self-confidence, speaking skills, classroom management, and audience engagement. This study employed a mixed-methods approach using a sequential explanatory design, beginning with quantitative data collection through questionnaires and teaching skills tests, followed by qualitative data from semi-structured interviews and classroom observations. The findings revealed that the implementation of pedagogical communication strategies had a significant positive impact on students’ teaching skills, particularly self-confidence, which increased from a mean score of 3.4 to 4.3, along with improvements in speaking skills. Nevertheless, challenges related to audience engagement and time management remained. The novelty of this study lies in integrating pedagogical communication into teaching simulations, transforming conventional microteaching from a performance-oriented exercise into a communication-centered learning process that explicitly develops verbal, non-verbal, relational, and reflective teaching competencies. This integration provides a more comprehensive framework for preparing future teachers and offers practical implications for teacher education curricula by embedding effective communication as a core component of teaching competence.
