Digital literacy is increasingly important for prospective biology teachers because biology learning requires the use of digital scientific resources, online journal databases, multimedia representations, virtual laboratories, and digital tools for interpreting evidence and communicating scientific knowledge. Yet, empirical profiles that examine multiple dimensions of digital literacy specifically among Biology Education students remain limited. This study aimed to describe the digital literacy profile of Biology Education students, identify relative strengths and weaknesses across seven dimensions, and derive curriculum implications for teacher preparation. A quantitative descriptive survey was conducted with 45 fourth-semester Biology Education students at Universitas Islam Riau during the even semester of the 2025/2026 academic year. Participants were selected purposively. Data were collected using the final 35-item self-assessment instrument developed and psychometrically established by Kantona and Munadi (2024), which covers information literacy, digital scholarship, learning skills, ICT literacy, career and identity management, communication and collaboration, and media literacy. The original instrument development involved expert review, confirmatory factor analysis, graded response model/item response theory analysis, and reliability testing; the present study additionally obtained a sample-specific Cronbach's alpha of 0.894. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, achievement percentages, category distributions, and dimension-level comparisons. The overall achievement was 70.36% (mean = 3.52/5) and was categorized as moderate. Career and identity management was the strongest dimension (76.83%), while media literacy was the weakest (62.40%). The findings indicate a functional but uneven digital literacy foundation. Biology Education programs should therefore integrate authentic digital practices, especially scientific source evaluation, media critique, digital data interpretation, and technology-supported instructional design, across biology and pedagogical courses.

Perkembangan AI (Artificial Intelligence) memberikan kesempatan untuk mendukung pembelajaran matematika, salah satunya melalui penggunaan ChatGPT sebagai media bantu pembelajaran. Menganalisis secara kualitatif peranan ChatGPT dalam mendukung pemahaman konsep siswa pada materi koordinat Kartesius dan persamaan garis lurus, khususnya dalam menentukan titik, menggambar grafik, dan menginterpretasikan grafik adalah tujuan dari penelitian ini. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif deskriptif. Subjek penelitian adalah siswa kelas VIII SMP Negeri 6 Jember yang berjumlah 34 siswa. Pemilihan subjek dilakukan berdasarkan hasil pre-test untuk mengelompokkan siswa ke dalam kategori kemampuan tinggi, sedang, dan rendah. Selanjutnya, dipilih tiga siswa yang memenuhi kriteria purposive untuk mewakili masing-masing kategori. Data dikumpulkan melalui dokumentasi hasil pekerjaan siswa pada pre-test dan post-test, pengamatan terhadap proses interaksi siswa dengan ChatGPT selama pembelajaran, serta wawancara semi terstruktur. Data dianalisis melalui tahapan reduksi data, penyajian data, dan penarikan kesimpulan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa ChatGPT dapat mendukung proses pemahaman konsep siswa melalui interaksi yang disesuaikan dengan kebutuhan belajar siswa. Perbedaan kemampuan awal siswa tampak pada pola interaksi yang dilakukan, di mana siswa dengan kemampuan tinggi cenderung menggunakan ChatGPT untuk memperjelas langkah tertentu, sedangkan siswa dengan kemampuan sedang dan rendah membutuhkan penjelasan dan bantuan yang lebih bertahap. Dengan demikian, ChatGPT berperan sebagai media bantu pembelajaran yang mendukung pemahaman konsep matematika secara bertahap sesuai kebutuhan masing-masing siswa, dengan tetap menempatkan guru sebagai pembimbing dan pengarah dalam proses pembelajaran. Analysis Of Students' Conceptual Understanding in Creating Graphs on Cartesian Coordinates and Linear Equations Using Chat GPT Abstract The development of AI (Artificial Intelligence) provides an opportunity to support mathematics learning, one of which is through the use of ChatGPT as a learning aid. Qualitatively analyzing the role of ChatGPT in supporting students' understanding of Cartesian coordinates and linear equations, particularly in determining points, drawing graphs, and interpreting graphs, is the objective of this research. This research uses a descriptive qualitative approach. The research subjects are eighth-grade students of SMP Negeri 6 Jember, totaling 34 students. The selection of subjects was carried out by descriptively reading the results of the students' pre-test and post-test, then grouping the students into high, medium, and low categories, resulting in the selection of three students representing each category as the main subjects of the study. Data were collected through documentation of students' work results on pre-tests and post-tests, observation of the interaction process between students and ChatGPT during learning, and semi-structured interviews. Data were analyzed through the stages of data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The research results show that ChatGPT can support the process of students' conceptual understanding through interactions tailored to their learning needs. Differences in students' initial abilities are evident in the interaction patterns, where high-ability students tend to use ChatGPT to clarify specific steps, while students with medium and low abilities require more gradual explanations and assistance. Thus, ChatGPT serves as a learning aid that supports the gradual understanding of mathematical concepts according to each student's needs, while still placing the teacher as a guide and director in the learning process.

Penelitian ini dilatarbelakangi oleh urgensi kolaborasi antara pemerintah daerah dan organisasi masyarakat sipil dalam layanan perlindungan anak. Meskipun kasus yang ditangani RPSA Delima meningkat dari 31 (2023) menjadi 59 (2025), lembaga ini masih menghadapi keterbatasan legalitas, SDM, sarana, serta kurangnya pembinaan dari Dinas Sosial. Penelitian bertujuan menganalisis collaborative governance antara Dinas Sosial dan RPSA Delima. Penelitian menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif deskriptif dengan desain studi kasus. Data dikumpulkan melalui wawancara, observasi, dan dokumentasi terhadap enam informan yang dipilih secara purposive sampling. Analisis data menggunakan model interaktif Miles dan Huberman. Kerangka teori yang digunakan adalah collaborative governance Ansell dan Gash (2008) dengan lima dimensi: komunikasi, kepercayaan, komitmen, pembagian peran, dan hasil jangka menengah. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan kelima dimensi tersebut belum terpenuhi secara optimal. Komunikasi bersifat personal dan insidental, kepercayaan kelembagaan tidak terbentuk, tidak ada komitmen kerja sama formal, pembagian peran belum kolaboratif, dan hasil jangka menengah tidak lahir dari proses kolaborasi. Meskipun demikian, RPSA Delima tetap mampu menyelenggarakan layanan melalui kapasitas internal dan jejaring nonformal. Temuan ini menunjukkan bahwa keberhasilan layanan perlindungan anak tidak selalu bergantung pada collaborative governance, namun tetap memerlukan dukungan kelembagaan pemerintah agar layanan berkelanjutan dan sesuai standar. Dynamics of Government Collaboration Between the Social Service Office and the Child Social Protection Home in Child Protection Services Abstract This study is motivated by the urgent need for collaboration between local government and civil society organizations in child protection services. Although the caseload handled by RPSA Delima rose from 31 (in 2023) to 59 (in 2025), the institution still faces limitations regarding legal status, human resources, and facilities, as well as a lack of guidance from the Social Agency. The study aims to analyze the collaborative governance between the Social Agency and RPSA Delima. It employs a descriptive qualitative approach with a case study design. Data were collected through interviews, observation, and document analysis involving six informants selected via purposive sampling. Data analysis utilized the Miles and Huberman interactive model. The theoretical framework applied is Ansell and Gash’s (2008) collaborative governance model, comprising five dimensions: communication, trust, commitment, role division, and intermediate outcomes. The results indicate that these five dimensions have not been optimally fulfilled. Communication was personal and incidental, institutional trust failed to develop, there was no formal cooperation commitment, role division lacked a collaborative nature, and intermediate outcomes did not emerge from a collaborative process. Nevertheless, RPSA Delima managed to deliver services through internal capacity and informal networks. These findings demonstrate that the success of child protection services does not solely depend on collaborative governance; however, institutional support from the government remains essential to ensure service sustainability and adherence to standards.

Stres kerja menjadi salah satu permasalahan yang sering dialami pekerja akibat meningkatnya tuntutan pekerjaan dan ketidakseimbangan antara beban kerja dengan sumber daya yang tersedia di lingkungan kerja. Kondisi tersebut dapat berdampak terhadap kesehatan psikologis, kesejahteraan, dan produktivitas pekerja. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis hubungan antara beban kerja dan dukungan sosial terhadap stres kerja pada pekerja berdasarkan hasil penelitian terdahulu. Penelitian ini menggunakan jenis penelitian Systematic Literature Review (SLR) dengan pendekatan deskriptif kualitatif. Subjek peneltiian berupa artikel ilmiah yang diperoleh dari database Scopus, ScienceDirect, dan Pubmed dengan rentang bulikasi tahun 2021-2026. Teknik pengambilan sampel menggunakan purposice sampling berdasarkan kriteria inklusi dan eksklusi yang telah ditetapkan. Instrumen penelitian berupa lembar checklist ekstraksi data yang telah disusun berdasarkan aspek karakteristik artikel, metode penelitian, dan hasil penelitian, validitas instrumen dijaga melalui validitas isi, sedangkan reliabilitas dilakukan melalui pengecekan ulang terhadap hasil ekstraksi data. Analisis data dilakukan melalui reduksi data, penyajian data, dan sintesis naratif. Hasil kajian terhadap 10 artikel menunjukkan bahwa beban kerja berhubungan negatif terhadap stres kerja. Dukungan sosial berperan sebagai faktor protektif yang membantu pekerja menghadapi tuntutan pekerjaan. Dengan demikian, keseimbangan antara beban kerja dan dukungan sosial menjadi faktor penting dalam pengelolaan stres kerja pada pekerja. The Relationship Between Workload and Social Support on Work Stress Among Workers: Systematic Literature Review Abstract Work stress is a common problem experienced by workers due to increasing job demands and an imbalance between workload and available resources in the workplace. This condition may negatively affect workers’ psychological health, well-being, and productivity. This study aims to analyze the relationship between workload and social support on work stress among workers based on previous research findings. This study employed a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) with a descriptive qualitative approach. The research subjects consisted of scientific articles obtained from the Scopus, ScienceDirect, and PubMed databases published between 2020 and 2025. The sampling technique used was purposive sampling based on predetermined inclusion and exclusion criteria. The research instrument was a data extraction checklist developed to identify article characteristics, research methods, and research findings. The validity of the instrument was maintained through content validity, while reliability was ensured through repeated verification of extracted data. Data analysis was conducted through data reduction, data presentation, and narrative synthesis. The review of 10 selected articles showed that workload had a positive relationship with work stress, while social support had a negative relationship with work stress. Social support acts as a protective factor that helps workers cope with job demands. Therefore, maintaining a balance between workload and social support is an important factor in managing work stress among workers.

Faktor psikologi merupakan kondisi internal yang menentukan kesiapan siswa mengikuti pembelajaran, sedangkan hasil survei sebelumnya menunjukkan minat belajar siswa dalam pembelajaran Pendidikan Jasmani, Olahraga, dan Kesehatan (PJOK) belum merata dan kajian yang memetakan keduanya secara bersamaan pada siswa sekolah menengah pertama masih terbatas. Penelitian ini bertujuan menggambarkan profil faktor psikologi (motivasi, perhatian, sikap, dan percaya diri) serta tingkat minat belajar (rasa senang, ketertarikan, partisipasi, dan perhatian) siswa kelas VII dalam pembelajaran PJOK di SMPN 1 Kandangan. Jenis penelitian adalah kuantitatif deskriptif dengan desain survei. Subjek penelitian adalah 63 siswa kelas VII yang diambil dari populasi 169 siswa menggunakan teknik simple random sampling dengan rumus Slovin (taraf kesalahan 10%). Instrumen berupa angket skala Likert dan lembar observasi, yang telah diuji validitas dengan teknik Pearson Product Moment (seluruh 40 butir dinyatakan valid) dan diuji reliabilitas dengan Cronbach’s Alpha (0,963 untuk variabel X dan 0,898 untuk variabel Y, keduanya reliabel). Data dianalisis menggunakan statistik deskriptif berbantuan SPSS, meliputi mean, standar deviasi, dan pengkategorian tingkat. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa faktor psikologi pendidikan siswa berada pada kategori sangat tinggi (90,5%), sedangkan tingkat minat belajar siswa juga sangat tinggi (82,5% sangat tinggi dan 17,5% tinggi). Berdasarkan gambaran deskriptif penelitian ini, kondisi psikologis yang tinggi berkaitan dengan tingginya minat belajar siswa pada pembelajaran PJOK; hubungan dan pengaruh antarvariabel tidak diuji dalam penelitian ini. Profile of Psychological Factors and Students' Learning Interest in Physical Education Learning of Grade VII at SMPN 1 Kandangan Abstract Psychological factors are internal conditions that determine students' readiness to engage in learning, whereas previous surveys show that students' learning interest in Physical Education, Sport, and Health (PJOK) is uneven and studies that map both simultaneously among junior high school students remain limited. This study aimed to describe the profile of psychological factors (motivation, attention, attitude, and self-confidence) and the level of learning interest (enjoyment, attraction, participation, and attention) of seventh-grade students in PJOK learning at SMPN 1 Kandangan. This research used a quantitative descriptive survey design. The subjects were 63 seventh-grade students drawn from a population of 169 students through simple random sampling using the Slovin formula (10% margin of error). The instruments were a Likert-scale questionnaire and an observation sheet, which were tested for validity using Pearson Product Moment (all 40 items were valid) and for reliability using Cronbach’s Alpha (0.963 for variable X and 0.898 for variable Y, both reliable). Data were analyzed descriptively with SPSS, including mean, standard deviation, and level categorization. The results showed that students' educational psychological factors were in the very high category (90.5%), while their learning interest was also very high (82.5% very high and 17.5% high). Based on this descriptive picture, favorable psychological conditions were associated with high learning interest in PJOK learning; however, the relationship and effect between the variables were not tested in this study.

Kompensasi dan Ganti Rugi Bagi Pekerja Kontrak (PKWT) dalam Pengakhiran Hubungan Kerja Sebelum Berakhirnya Masa Kontrak Hariadi, Muhammad Hari; Takalapeta, Ronald; Hariadi, Sugeng; Kurniawati, Yeti; Shodri, Achmad Zacky

Pengakhiran Perjanjian Kerja Waktu Tertentu (PKWT) sebelum berakhirnya masa kontrak menimbulkan persoalan hukum mengenai pemenuhan hak pekerja, khususnya uang kompensasi dan ganti rugi. Perubahan regulasi ketenagakerjaan melalui Undang-Undang Nomor 6 Tahun 2023 dan Peraturan Pemerintah Nomor 35 Tahun 2021 memperkuat pengaturan mengenai kompensasi bagi pekerja PKWT, sementara Pasal 62 Undang-Undang Nomor 13 Tahun 2003 tetap mengatur konsekuensi ganti rugi atas pengakhiran PKWT sebelum waktunya. Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis konstruksi hukum uang kompensasi dan ganti rugi, penerapannya ketika PKWT diakhiri sebelum berakhirnya masa kontrak, serta implikasinya terhadap kepastian dan keadilan hukum. Penelitian menggunakan metode hukum normatif dengan pendekatan perundang-undangan dan konseptual. Bahan hukum dianalisis secara kualitatif melalui interpretasi sistematis terhadap peraturan perundang-undangan, putusan pengadilan, dan literatur ilmiah yang relevan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa uang kompensasi dan ganti rugi memiliki dasar, fungsi, dan basis perhitungan yang berbeda. Kompensasi berkaitan dengan masa kerja yang telah dilaksanakan, sedangkan ganti rugi berkaitan dengan konsekuensi pengakhiran kontrak sebelum jangka waktu berakhir. Ketika pengusaha mengakhiri PKWT sebelum waktunya dan persyaratan hukum terpenuhi, kedua instrumen secara normatif dapat diterapkan secara kumulatif. Temuan ini menegaskan pentingnya pembedaan fungsi kedua instrumen untuk mewujudkan perlindungan pekerja, kepastian hukum, dan keseimbangan kepentingan para pihak. Compensation and Damages for Fixed-Term Employees Following Early Termination ff Employment Before The Expiration of The Contract Term Abstract The termination of a Fixed-Term Employment Agreement (PKWT) before the expiration of its contractual period raises legal issues concerning workers’ rights, particularly compensation and damages. The development of Indonesian labor regulations through Law Number 6 of 2023 and Government Regulation Number 35 of 2021 strengthens the regulation of compensation for PKWT workers, while Article 62 of Law Number 13 of 2003 continues to regulate damages arising from premature termination of a PKWT. This study aims to analyze the legal construction of compensation and damages, their application when a PKWT is terminated before its expiration, and their implications for legal certainty and justice. This study employs normative legal research using statutory and conceptual approaches. Legal materials were analyzed qualitatively through systematic interpretation of legislation, judicial decisions, and relevant scholarly literature. The findings demonstrate that compensation and damages have different legal bases, functions, and calculation bases. Compensation is associated with the period of employment already performed, whereas damages are associated with the legal consequences of terminating the agreement before the contractual period expires. When an employer terminates a PKWT prematurely and the respective legal requirements are satisfied, the two instruments may, normatively, be applied cumulatively. These findings emphasize the importance of distinguishing the functions of compensation and damages to strengthen worker protection, legal certainty, and a balanced allocation of interests between workers and employers.

Penelitian ini bertujuan menguji dasar kenusantaraan Al-Hikmah: Tafsir Kontemporer Juz ‘Amma dan Al-Hikmah: Tafsir Kontemporer Juz 29 karya Aam Amiruddin serta merumuskan dimensi analitis untuk membacanya. Persoalan penelitian berangkat dari kecenderungan mengidentifikasi Tafsir Nusantara melalui asal geografis mufasir, bahasa, atau tempat penerbitan tanpa menjelaskan bagaimana lokalitas bekerja dalam produksi dan penyampaian makna. Penelitian ini merupakan studi kepustakaan dengan analisis isi kualitatif terhadap pengantar kedua jilid dan delapan surah yang dipilih secara purposif berdasarkan variasi medan argumentasi: al-Mulk, al-Mutaffifin, al-‘Adiyat, Quraisy, al-Nasr, al-Lahab, al-Ikhlas, dan al-Falaq. Analisis menggunakan empat dimensi analitis, yaitu ekologi produksi, orientasi pembaca, mediasi tradisi transregional dalam ekologi pembaca Indonesia, dan horizon aktualisasi. Keutuhan argumentasi keterlacakan hubungan teks, sumber, prinsip, dan aplikasi digunakan sebagai kriteria kontrol lintas-dimensi. Hasil analisis mengindikasikan bahwa kenusantaraan Al-Hikmah bersifat relasional. Lokalitas tampak melalui ekologi dakwah, pendidikan, penerbitan, dan komunitas pengetahuan Indonesia; konstruksi pembaca Muslim berbahasa Indonesia melalui bahasa komunikatif, penjelasan istilah, ilustrasi, dan orientasi pembinaan; serta cara sumber tradisional dimediasi untuk menjembatani otoritas wahyu dengan kebutuhan pembaca. Aktualisasi bergerak dari makna dasar menuju prinsip dan penerapan pada integritas, kerja, keluarga, komunikasi, tauhid, relasi sosial, dan kualitas amal. Temuan ini mengusulkan empat dimensi analitis, bukan indikator yang telah tervalidasi secara universal, dan menempatkan Al-Hikmah sebagai salah satu konfigurasi tafsir populer Nusantara kontemporer. Reflections on the Archipelagic Nature of the Al-Hikmah Exegesis: Locality, Reader Orientation, and the Actualization of the Qur’an’s Message Abstract This study aims to examine the Nusantara character of Aam Amiruddin’s Al-Hikmah: Contemporary Interpretation of Juz ‘Amma and Al-Hikmah: Contemporary Interpretation of Juz 29 and to formulate analytical dimensions for assessing it. The problem arises from the tendency to identify Nusantara Qur’anic exegesis through the interpreter’s geographical origin, language, or place of publication without explaining how locality operates in the production and communication of meaning. This library-based qualitative study applies content analysis to the introductions of both volumes and eight purposively selected surahs: al-Mulk, al-Mutaffifin, al-‘Adiyat, Quraisy, al-Nasr, al-Lahab, al-Ikhlas, and al-Falaq. The analysis uses four dimensions: production ecology, reader orientation, mediation of transregional exegetical tradition within an Indonesian reader ecology, and the horizon of actualization. Argumentative integrity the traceable relation among text, sources, principles, and applications is treated as a cross-dimensional control criterion. The findings indicate that Al-Hikmah’s Nusantara character is relational. Locality appears through Indonesian preaching, education, publishing, and knowledge networks; through the construction of Indonesian Muslim readers by communicative language, explanation, illustration, and formative orientation; and through the mediation of inherited exegetical sources for contemporary readers. Actualization moves from textual meaning to ethical principles and applications concerning integrity, work, family, communication, monotheism, social relations, and quality of action. The study therefore proposes four analytical dimensions rather than universally validated indicators and positions Al-Hikmah as one contemporary national-popular configuration of Nusantara Qur’anic exegesis.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis kesalahan siswa dalam menyelesaikan soal bilangan berpangkat setelah mengikuti pembelajaran melalui model Problem Based Learning (PBL). Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan deskriptif kualitatif. Subjek penelitian adalah 14 siswa kelas VIII A SMPK St. Dominikus Pakamadara. Teknik pengumpulan data dilakukan melalui tes uraian, wawancara, dan dokumentasi. Data dianalisis melalui tiga tahap, yaitu reduksi data, penyajian data, dan penarikan kesimpulan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kemampuan siswa dalam menyelesaikan soal bilangan berpangkat bervariasi. Sebanyak 7 siswa (50%) berada pada kategori kemampuan tinggi, 4 siswa (28,57%) berada pada kategori sedang, dan 3 siswa (21,43%) berada pada kategori rendah. Berdasarkan analisis hasil pekerjaan tertulis dan wawancara, ditemukan tiga jenis kesalahan, yaitu kesalahan konseptual, kesalahan prosedural, dan kesalahan teknis. Kesalahan konseptual ditunjukkan oleh ketidakmampuan siswa dalam memahami sifat-sifat bilangan berpangkat, seperti aturan perkalian dan pembagian bilangan berpangkat, pangkat nol, dan pangkat negatif. Kesalahan prosedural terjadi karena siswa belum mampu menerapkan langkah-langkah penyelesaian secara sistematis dan sering menghentikan proses penyelesaian sebelum memperoleh jawaban akhir yang benar. Hasil wawancara menunjukkan bahwa kesalahan tersebut dipengaruhi oleh keterbatasan pemahaman konsep, kesulitan menentukan prosedur penyelesaian yang tepat, kecenderungan menghafal rumus tanpa memahami maknanya, serta kurangnya ketelitian dalam menyelesaikan soal matematika. Kata kunci: analisis kesalahan, bilangan berpangkat, Problem Based Learning, kesalahan konseptual, kesalahan prosedural, kesalahan teknis. Analysis of Students’ Errors in Solving Exponentiation Problems through Problem-Based Learning in Grade VIII A at SMPK ST. Dominikus Pakamadara abstract This study aimed to analyze students' errors in solving exponent problems after learning through the Problem Based Learning (PBL) model. The study employed a descriptive qualitative approach. The research subjects were 14 students of Class VIII A at SMPK St. Dominikus Pakamadara. Data were collected through essay tests, interviews, and documentation. The data were analyzed using three stages: data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The results showed that the students' ability to solve exponent problems varied. Seven students (50%) were categorized as having high ability, four students (28.57%) were in the moderate category, and three students (21.43%) were in the low category. Based on the analysis of students' written answers and interview results, three types of errors were identified: conceptual errors, procedural errors, and technical errors. Conceptual errors were indicated by students' inability to understand the properties of exponents, including the rules of multiplication and division of exponents, zero exponents, and negative exponents. Procedural errors occurred because students were unable to apply systematic solution steps and often stopped the solution process before obtaining the correct final answer. The interview findings revealed that these errors were influenced by students' limited conceptual understanding, difficulties in determining appropriate solution procedures, a tendency to memorize formulas without understanding their meaning, and a lack of carefulness in solving mathematical problems.

Although artificial intelligence (AI) has increasingly been incorporated into EFL writing instruction, previous research has largely focused on overall writing performance, with less attention to changes across specific writing dimensions and students’ actual experiences of using AI during the writing process. This study examined the effect of AI-assisted instruction on EFL students’ writing performance, with particular attention to five writing dimensions—content, organization, vocabulary, language use, and mechanics and explored how students used and experienced AI during writing. Using a quasi-experimental explanatory sequential mixed-methods design, the study involved 60 English Language Education students at Universitas Panca Sakti Bekasi, equally divided into experimental and control groups. The experimental group engaged in AI-assisted writing activities integrated into regular writing tasks, while the control group received conventional instruction. Pre- and post-test writing scores were analyzed using descriptive statistics and ANCOVA, complemented by semi-structured interviews and AI Usage Logs. The experimental group demonstrated significantly greater improvement in overall writing performance than the control group (F = 381.24, p < .001, partial η² = .870), with significant differences across all five dimensions. Language use showed the largest raw gain, whereas mechanics yielded the largest effect size. AI Usage Logs further showed that students primarily used AI for language feedback, idea generation, vocabulary enrichment, and revision. The findings indicate a substantial effect within the specific instructional context and demonstrate the value of examining writing outcomes alongside students’ actual AI-use practices.
