Abstract

General background: Early childhood is a critical period for language development, and exposure to foreign languages, particularly English, provides essential foundations for future communication. Specific background: In Indonesia, English is introduced as a foreign language from an early age, yet many schools still face challenges in implementation due to varying teacher competencies and parental awareness. Knowledge gap: Limited studies comprehensively describe the structured application of English learning in early childhood within bilingual school contexts. Aims: This study examines the implementation of English learning for children aged 5–6 years at The Naff A Creative & Fun School, focusing on teaching strategies, teacher competencies, and children’s achievements. Results: Data from structured and non-participant observations as well as semi-structured interviews show that children acquire basic vocabulary (colors, numbers, fruits, animals, etc.) and develop confidence in simple communication. Teachers play a central role through consistent routines, communication books, and bilingual classroom practices. Novelty: This study highlights how structured daily habituation combined with teacher preparation effectively fosters early English exposure in a playful yet systematic manner. Implications: Findings emphasize the importance of integrating bilingual practices into early childhood curricula and strengthening teacher qualifications to support sustainable language acquisition. Highlights: English learning at early age benefits from daily habituation. Teacher competence and creativity are crucial for successful practice. Bilingual strategies strengthen children’s vocabulary and confidence. Keywords: Early Childhood, English Learning, Bilingual Education, Teacher Competence, Language

Abstract

General Background: Learning media play a critical role in enhancing the quality and engagement of science education in elementary schools. Specific Background: However, many educators still rely on conventional materials that fail to captivate students' interest, particularly in abstract topics such as the growth and development of living things. Knowledge Gap: There is limited utilization and evaluation of visually engaging media such as Big Book in this specific subject context. Aims: This study aimed to develop and evaluate a Big Book learning media to support the teaching of growth and development in living organisms for third-grade elementary students. Results: The development process employed the ADDIE model and involved 23 students at MI Muhammadiyah 02 Solokuro. Validation from experts yielded scores of 92% (content) and 95% (media design), while student and teacher responses reached 90% and 93%, respectively. Post-test scores increased significantly from 44% to 73%. Novelty: Unlike previous studies, this research applied the Big Book to a science theme rather than early reading skills, demonstrating its interdisciplinary potential. Implications: The Big Book was found to be pedagogically effective, increasing student motivation and comprehension, and is recommended for broader application in science instruction at the elementary level. Highlights: Enhances student interest and comprehension using visual and engaging media. Developed with the ADDIE model and validated by experts with high scores.

Abstract

General Background: Academic procrastination remains a prevalent issue among high school students, often leading to decreased academic performance and increased psychological distress. Specific Background: Previous studies have identified psychological factors such as learning motivation and self-regulated learning as potential contributors to procrastination. Knowledge Gap: However, limited research has examined the simultaneous influence of these two variables on academic procrastination, particularly among Indonesian high school students. Aims: This study aims to analyze the simultaneous effect of learning motivation and self-regulated learning on academic procrastination among 210 eleventh-grade students at SMA Antartika Sidoarjo. Results: Utilizing a quantitative correlational method and multiple linear regression analysis, the findings indicate a significant effect (F=16.01, p<.001), confirming that both learning motivation and self-regulated learning jointly influence academic procrastination. Notably, 31.43% of students were categorized as having high academic procrastination, while 26.19% and 24.76% showed low levels of learning motivation and self-regulated learning, respectively. Novelty: This study uniquely contributes by investigating the combined impact of these psychological factors on academic procrastination within a senior high school setting. Implications: The results underscore the importance of fostering learning motivation and self-regulation strategies to mitigate academic procrastination in educational interventions and school-based counseling programs. Highlights : Simultaneous influence of motivation and self-regulation is statistically significant. Over 30% of students experience high academic procrastination. Highlights the need for targeted educational interventions. Keywords : Academic Procrastination, Learning Motivation, Self-regulated Learning, High School Students, Psychological Factors
