Abstract

Mental health in Indonesia has become a serious focus of attention in recent years with the highest cases of depressive disorders, namely 9,162,886 cases or 3.7% of the population. This study aims to provide insight into mental health problems faced by first and second year students, offering guidance and research to address this issue in educational settings. The study employs a longitudinal research method to evaluate the impact of mental health on new students in 2023, utilizing quantitative data analysis and statistical analysis. Students participated in a mental health survey using the WHOQOL-BREF instrument as a questionnaire. This study revealed that students initially experienced mental and physical stress due to their adaptation and response to the new system and climate, which potentially affected their performance in education. New students experienced a boost in social relationships due to numerous friends and support from both material and non-material sources. The majority of new students at Islamic Universities come from the same province, causing an increase in the adjustment of the living environment.

Abstract

The transition to technology-mediated assessment in education has reshaped testing practices globally, yet its implications for vocational students remain underexplored. This study investigates vocational learners’ perceptions of summative English testing conducted through digital platforms, focusing on the perceived benefits and drawbacks. Drawing on a mixed-methods approach, data were collected through questionnaires and interviews with students from a vocational institution. The findings reveal a complex interplay between usability, fairness, and performance impact. While some students appreciated the efficiency and immediate feedback of digital tests, many expressed concerns over interface unfamiliarity, limited digital literacy, and heightened test anxiety, which they felt adversely affected their performance. These perceptions were further influenced by socioeconomic and educational backgrounds, suggesting potential inequities in assessment outcomes. The study highlights the need for more inclusive and accessible digital assessment designs tailored to the vocational context. Implications for educators and policymakers include the integration of digital literacy support and the development of student-centered testing platforms to enhance validity and fairness in language evaluation.

Abstract

This study aims to improve students’ learning outcomes in the basic football dribbling technique through the implementation of augmented reality (AR) as an interactive learning aid. An experimental method was employed, using pre-tests and post-tests to measure students’ learning gains. The analysis revealed a significant improvement in student performance following the use of AR technology. The average post-test score (69.32) was notably higher than the pre-test score (65.13), with the difference indicating that AR implementation effectively enhanced students’ understanding and skills in dribbling. Homogeneity and normality tests confirmed that the data were normally distributed and homogeneous, thus supporting the validity of the study. Moreover, AR media was shown to foster student motivation and enhance learning interactivity, making it a compelling alternative to increase students’ interest and academic performance, particularly in physical education. Overall, AR technology not only improved learning outcomes but also fostered a more engaging and interactive classroom environment, thereby holding potential to elevate educational quality at the primary level.

Abstract

This article explores the implementation of traditional and digital teaching methods in English language instruction at Madrasah Ibtidaiyah Negeri (MIN) 1 Palembang. The school applies two classroom models—digital and non-digital—to accommodate different student needs and infrastructure availability. In traditional classes, teachers rely on textbooks, oral practice, and paper-based activities. In contrast, digital classes incorporate multimedia tools such as PowerPoint, YouTube, and interactive online platforms like Quizizz and Wordwall. Through a qualitative descriptive approach, this article highlights how both teaching methods are applied, how they are blended, and how students and teachers experience these approaches in real classroom situations. The article concludes that combining traditional and digital methods can improve student engagement, support various learning styles, and enhance the overall quality of English language learning in primary education. Recommendations are also provided to help teachers and schools make the most of available resources. Keywords: English language teaching, Traditional methods, Digital learning, Blended learning
