Abstract

This study examines the processes of derivation and inflection in Arabic from a morphological perspective. Derivation and inflection are two main mechanisms in Arabic word formation that have different but complementary functions. This study aims to describe the concept, form, and function of derivation and inflection in the Arabic morphological system. The method used is a literature study with a qualitative approach, through the analysis of national scientific articles relevant to the study of Arabic morphology. The results show that derivation in Arabic functions as a mechanism for forming new lexemes derived from word roots through certain morphological patterns, thus playing an important role in enriching vocabulary and expanding lexical meaning. Meanwhile, inflection serves to mark grammatical categories such as person, number, gender, and time without changing the lexical meaning of the root word. This study confirms that an integrated understanding of derivation and inflection is key to a comprehensive understanding of the Arabic word formation system.

Abstract

Learning evaluation is an integral part of the educational process, serving to objectively and systematically measure the achievement of learning objectives. One of the main instruments used in learning evaluation is test questions. However, in educational practice, many questions are still written without regard to good writing principles, resulting in low-quality learning evaluation results. This article aims to examine in-depth techniques for creating quality questions, including the rules for writing multiple-choice, essay, and true-false questions, question analysis and revision techniques, the preparation of question outlines, and the concepts of validity and reliability of assessment instruments. This study uses a literature study method by analyzing various relevant literature in the field of educational evaluation. The results of the study indicate that the preparation of quality questions must be based on careful planning through the preparation of question outlines, the application of writing principles according to the question format, and supported by a continuous process of analysis and revision of questions. In addition, the application of the principles of validity and reliability is a key factor in producing accurate and consistent evaluation instruments. Thus, mastery of quality question creation techniques by educators is a crucial requirement for improving the quality of learning evaluation and the quality of the learning process as a whole.

Abstract

Learning evaluation is an important part of the educational process because it serves to assess the achievement of learning objectives while evaluating the effectiveness of learning implementation. However, in practice, evaluation results are often only used as a basis for assigning grades without being analyzed and followed up optimally. This study aims to examine the concept of analyzing learning evaluation results and their use in learning follow-up. This study uses a library research method with a qualitative descriptive approach through a review of relevant textbooks and scientific journal articles. The results of the study indicate that the analysis of learning evaluation results plays a strategic role in identifying student learning outcomes, identifying obstacles in the learning process, and assessing the effectiveness of applied learning strategies. Through this analysis, evaluation results can be optimally utilized in the form of providing feedback, implementing remedial learning, enrichment, and continuous learning improvement to improve the quality of the learning process and outcomes.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the implementation of local Batak Simalungun culture at SMP Negeri 1 Raya Kahean, Simalungun Regency, through the Simalungun Language and Script subject in building student character. This study uses a qualitative descriptive approach with data collection techniques in the form of observation, interviews, and documentation. Data analysis is carried out through the stages of data reduction, data presentation, and verification. The results of the study indicate that the learning of Simalungun Language and Script in grade IX has been implemented systematically and has made a real contribution to the preservation of Batak Simalungun cultural values. Teachers consistently integrate positive cultural values ??through contextual teaching materials and learning strategies. The novelty of this study lies in the finding that the Simalungun Language and Script subject has a dual function, not only as a vehicle for preserving local culture, but also as a medium for building student character that is structured and integrated into formal learning. Different from previous studies that tend to place local content only as cultural content, this study demonstrates its role as a strategic pedagogical instrument in local wisdom-based character education at the junior high school level.

Abstract

Classroom interaction plays an important role in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) writing instruction, particularly in expository and persuasive writing, where students are required to develop arguments, organize ideas logically, and negotiate meaning through language use. This study aims to analyze speech functions employed in classroom interaction and to examine the interactional roles of lecturers and students during expository and persuasive writing instruction. The data were collected from naturally occurring classroom interaction through audio recordings of lecturers and students in writing classes. The recorded interaction was transcribed verbatim and analyzed using speech function categories derived from Systemic Functional Linguistics, including statements, questions, commands, and offers. The findings indicate that classroom interaction was predominantly lecturer-centered, with statements, questions, and commands occurring most frequently, while student participation was largely limited to brief responses. Student-initiated speech functions and offers appeared infrequently, suggesting limited opportunities for collaborative negotiation of meaning. The study concludes that although lecturer-dominated speech functions support instructional clarity in writing classes, increasing opportunities for student-initiated interaction is necessary to foster more interactive and effective expository and persuasive writing instruction.

Abstract

The Makan Bergizi Gratis (MBG) is a strategic policy of the Indonesian government launched in 2025 with the aim of improving the nutritional status and quality of students' education. Learning interest, a crucial factor in educational success, is strongly influenced by students' physiological condition, motivation, and readiness to learn, which are closely related to daily nutritional needs. Numerous studies over the past decade have shown that nutritious school meal programs positively contribute to student attendance, engagement, and academic achievement, although the magnitude of the impact varies. Furthermore, recent research confirms that food insecurity is negatively associated with children's learning motivation, suggesting that programs such as the MBG could be a solution to increase learning interest by reducing nutritional and food barriers. The MBG program has significant potential to increase student learning interest through nutrition, motivation, and socioeconomic factors. However, direct empirical evidence on learning interest remains limited. Therefore, field research that directly measures indicators of learning interest (e.g., engagement, intrinsic motivation, and enjoyment of learning) is essential to evaluate the program's effectiveness.

Abstract

This study examines the construction of postcolonial identity in contemporary English literature by employing a qualitative descriptive approach through close textual analysis. Focusing on selected literary works by postcolonial authors, the research explores how identity is represented as fluid, hybrid, and continuously negotiated within narratives shaped by migration, diaspora, and cultural displacement. Drawing on postcolonial theory, particularly the concepts of hybridity, otherness, and the “third space,” the analysis reveals that literary texts portray identity not as a fixed essence but as a dynamic process influenced by historical colonial legacies and contemporary global conditions. The findings indicate that experiences of diaspora and linguistic negotiation play a significant role in shaping postcolonial subjectivity, enabling characters to construct adaptive and plural forms of belonging. By integrating theoretical perspectives with close textual reading, this study contributes to English literary scholarship by reaffirming the relevance of postcolonial theory in interpreting contemporary literary representations of identity in a globalized world.

Abstract

This study aims to describe the principal's transformational leadership in improving teachers' professional competence at SMA Negeri 1 Sosopan, Padang Lawas Regency. This study uses a qualitative method with a case study approach. The research subjects consisted of the principal and teachers. Data collection techniques were carried out through observation, interviews, and documentation. Data analysis was carried out through the stages of data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions, while data validity was tested through source and technique triangulation. The results showed that the principal had implemented transformational leadership through four dimensions, namely idealized influence, inspirational motivation, intellectual stimulation, and individualized consideration. The principal demonstrated exemplary behavior, provided motivation, encouraged learning innovation, and provided individual attention and guidance to teachers. This leadership had a positive impact on improving teachers' professional competence, as demonstrated by improving teachers' abilities in planning learning, implementing learning, using learning media, and increasing motivation in developing professional competence. In addition, transformational leadership also created a conducive and professional work environment. Thus, the principal's transformational leadership plays an important role in improving teachers' professional competence and the quality of learning in schools.
