Abstract

This study addresses the issue of low student participation in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) classrooms, which remains a persistent challenge in Indonesian secondary education. Although cooperative learning strategies have been widely promoted, there is limited research focusing on students’ active participation in junior high school EFL contexts, particularly in eastern Indonesia. This study aims to explore how the Think-Pair-Share (TPS) strategy enhances eighth-grade students’ active participation in English learning at SMP Negeri 7 Kupang and to examine students’ responses toward its implementation. Employing a qualitative case study design, data were collected through classroom observations, interviews, and documentation. The findings indicate that TPS significantly improves students’ behavioural, cognitive, and emotional participation by fostering collaboration, confidence, and engagement. Students also demonstrated a positive perception of the strategy. Overall, Think-Pair-Share is an effective approach for promoting active participation in EFL classrooms.

Abstract

This study aims to describe the implementation process of the Montessori sensorial method for improving pre-writing skills of students with mild intellectual disabilities in Grade III at SLB Negeri Simalungun. The study used a collaborative Classroom Action Research (CAR) design conducted in two cycles, each consisting of planning, action, observation, and reflection stages. The research subjects were two students with mild intellectual disabilities. Data were collected through observation, prewriting skill tests, and documentation, and were analyzed qualitatively to describe the learning process and quantitatively to identify improvements in pre-writing skills across cycles. The findings indicate a gradual and significant improvement in students’ pre-writing skills from the initial condition to the end of Cycle II, as reflected in enhanced abilities to trace lines, thicken and imitate simple patterns, and demonstrate better fine motor coordination. In addition, students showed increased active engagement, focus, and self-confidence during the learning process. The novelty of this study lies in the specific application of the Montessori sensorial method utilizing kinetic sand as a tactile sensory medium in pre-writing instruction for students with mild intellectual disabilities in a special school context, contributing both theoretically and practically to the development of adaptive learning approaches in special education.

Abstract

The background of this research is that as Muslims, of course, we have a responsibility, namely to maintain and care for the Qur'an. One form of care is to memorize it. This study seeks to explain the implementation of learning at the Nurul Huda Islamic Boarding School with three main objectives, namely describing local content activities in the Islamic boarding school, tracing the methods used in the Tahfidz Qur'an program, and identifying factors that support and hinder the achievement of memorization of students. The approach used is qualitative so that researchers can understand the learning process more deeply through observation, interviews, and document review. The findings of the study show that local content activities are designed to form students into a generation that adheres to Islamic values based on the Qur'an and hadith. The Tahfidz Qur'an program at the Nurul Huda Islamic Boarding School applies several methods, such as the wahdah method, sima'i, repetition of each verse, and muraja'ah as a general strengthening of memorization. These methods help students strengthen memorization gradually and continuously.

Abstract

This studi aims to examine teh process of developing the characters of patience and trustworthiness through the learning theme of the Hijrah story of Prophet Muhammad among fourth-grade students at SD Negeri 22 Baubau. This study employs a qualitative approach to understand students’ character development within the context of Islamic exemplary values. The research method used is descriptive qualitative, with data collected through observation, interviews, and documentation. The findings indicate that learning activities based on the Hijrah story of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) contribute to fostering the characters of patience and trustworthiness among students, although the level of understanding and application varies among them. Some students have demonstrated patient and trustworthy behavior in their daily activities, while others still require continuous habituation and guidance. This study highlights the importance of teachers’ role modeling and habituation processes in strengthening the internalization of the values of patience and trustworthiness. Therefore, it can be concluded that exemplary story-based learning plays an important role in shaping the characters of patience and trustworthiness in elementary school students.

Abstract

School administration personnel are an integral part of the education management system whose role is to ensure that school governance runs in an orderly, effective, and sustainable manner. However, in practice, the existence of administrative personnel often receives less attention than educators and tends to be seen as limited to carrying out technical tasks. This study aims to analyze the role of administrative personnel in improving the quality of educational services at SD Negeri 004 Palembang by focusing on aspects of the implementation of duties, responsibilities, competencies, and obstacles faced. The research uses a descriptive qualitative approach with data collection techniques through observation, in-depth interviews with administrative staff, principals, and teachers, as well as documentation studies of school administrative archives. The results of the study show that although the number of administrative personnel is not ideal and the workload is relatively high, their contribution is very significant in data management, information services to school residents and parents, infrastructure management, and the preparation of institutional reports. The ability to master information technology and good internal coordination also improves service quality. Improving service quality can be done through the arrangement of task divisions, competency training, and strengthening the digital-based management system on an ongoing basis.

Abstract

Speaking skill development is a crucial goal in EFL instruction, yet many junior secondary school students remain passive due to anxiety and fear of negative evaluation. Previous studies have widely examined public video-based tasks, while the use of private vlog-making for passive learners has received limited attention. This study aims to investigate the use of private vlog-making as a pedagogical strategy to encourage passive students to speak English more confidently and actively. Employing a qualitative descriptive design, the study was conducted at a public junior secondary school in Malang involving ten ninth-grade passive students who produced two private vlogs over three weeks. Data were collected through vlog recordings, semi-structured interviews, and classroom observations, and analyzed using thematic analysis. The findings indicate that private vlog-making enhances psychological safety, supports repeated speaking practice, increases confidence, and encourages classroom participation. The study concludes that private vlog-making is an effective and supportive approach for promoting speaking development among passive EFL learners.

Abstract

Digital games are increasingly recognized as supplementary sources of language input in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) contexts because they provide interactive and context-rich language use. However, previous studies have mainly focused on game mechanics or learner motivation, while linguistic features of in-game instructional texts remain underexplored. This study examines the types and functions of imperative constructions in Genshin Impact and their potential as linguistic input for incidental EFL vocabulary acquisition. A total of 93 English instructional texts were collected from the primary quest “The Forgotten Thief” during approximately 120 minutes of gameplay. Using a descriptive qualitative design with content analysis, the data included dialogue-based instructions, tutorial prompts, and quest objectives. The findings show that simple and inclusive imperatives are most frequent, followed by compound, negative, courteous, and idiomatic forms. These imperatives provide repeated exposure to functional language, suggesting their potential to support EFL learners’ vocabulary development and pragmatic awareness.

Abstract

The development of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has driven substantial transformations in educational methodologies in higher education, particularly in Student Academic Writing. This study seeks to examine students' use of AI in academic writing assignments and to identify related opportunities and constraints. The study employed a descriptive qualitative methodology, involving five students from the English Language Education Research Program selected using a purposive sampling strategy. Data were obtained through semi-structured interviews and evaluated thematically, concentrating on two main themes: the uses and potential of AI, and concerns and barriers related to its implementation. The findings indicate that students use AI as a pedagogical aid for brainstorming ideas, understanding complex topics, and organizing academic writing, without replacing critical thinking processes. Students also believe that AI can foster a mind-safe learning environment and help people learn faster. The study also raises concerns about the authenticity of information, the possibility of plagiarism, and students' over-reliance on AI, which may undermine their ability to think independently and independently. Therefore, this study demonstrates that AI has significant potential in improving students' academic writing when used critically, ethically, and thoughtfully, complemented by digital literacy and appropriate pedagogical supervision to maintain academic integrity.

Abstract

The low reading interest of junior high school students in remote areas is a serious problem exacerbated by limited infrastructure and access to books, especially in one-roof schools such as SMP Negeri 3 Satu Atap Tabona. This study aims to identify the literacy solutions implemented and the internal and external challenges faced. Using a qualitative case study design approach, the population included the entire school community with purposive and snowball sampling until data saturation from 7 key informants (principal, teachers, students, librarian). The instruments consisted of semi-structured interview guides, participant observation, and document analysis, analyzed using the Miles and Huberman model and thematic analysis. The results showed that the 15-minute reading program and library visits were ineffective, while review competitions and assignment integration received the highest positive response (83%). The main challenges include outdated book collections, minimal infrastructure, gadget distractions, low family support, and geographic isolation. The study concluded the need for a holistic, contextual strategy that transforms a quantitative approach into a meaningful reading experience through competitive activities and community partnerships.

Abstract

The performance of elementary school teachers is the foundation of learning quality, but various competency improvement programs are often not optimal because performance issues are also influenced by organizational factors at the school level. The literature still shows a gap in explaining how school principal leadership works through daily "work channels" such as communication and collaboration, especially when comparing public and private elementary schools. This study aims to analyze the role of principal leadership styles in improving the performance of public and private elementary school teachers in Bandung Regency. The study uses a qualitative approach with semi-structured interviews with principals and teachers, analyzed through thematic coding and cross-school source triangulation. The results show that leadership patterns tend to be combinative, with democratic practices dominating in the aspect of communication, which is most strongly related to increased collaboration and consistency in teacher work, while authoritarian practices emerge in certain situations for control purposes. It is concluded that strengthening communication and collaboration are key leadership mechanisms for improving teacher performance.
