Abstract

This study analyzed grammatical errors in the descriptive writing of Bachelor of Secondary Education major in English (BSEd-English) students from private higher education institutions (HEIs) in Kalinga Province using the Surface Strategy Taxonomy (SST) by Dulay, Burt, and Krashen. It aimed to identify error types, determine prevalent patterns, and examine factors contributing to learners’ writing difficulties. Guided by Error Analysis Theory, the study employed a descriptive qualitative design and collected data from second- and third-year BSEd-English students during the first semester of Academic Year 2025–2026 through purposive sampling. Findings revealed 383 grammatical errors with misformation (46.74%) and addition (40.99%) as the most frequent, while omission (9.92%) and misordering (2.35%) were less common. Misformation and addition errors—particularly in word choice, singular–plural forms, verb tenses, pronouns, and lexical devices—reflect learners’ struggles with grammar, vocabulary, and sentence construction. Influencing factors included interlingual interference, intralingual transfer, pedagogical, and psychological issues emphasizing the need for improved instruction and feedback. To address these issues, a writing instrument for pre-admission evaluation was developed to strengthen grammar and writing proficiency among incoming English majors. The results provided insights for language instruction, curriculum development, and teacher education policy supporting quality education aligned with Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 4.

Abstract

This research is prompted by junior high school pupils' low mathematical critical thinking skills in tackling non-routine situations. Students generally struggle with solution formulation and planning, indicating poor systematic and logical thinking. This study examines Junior High School 1 Bulukumba students' mathematical critical thinking skills in solving mathematical problems using Polya's Theory's four steps: Understanding the Problem, Planning a Solution, Implementing the Plan, and Looking Back. Grade VIII pupils of Junior High School 1 Bulukumba are the participants of this qualitative descriptive study. The study collects data through problem-solving tests based on non-routine issues, observation, and in-depth interviews. The results of the study indicate that most research subjects have been able to carry out Stage 1 (Understanding the Problem) well. However, significant weaknesses were identified in Stage 2 (Planning a Solution), where students have not been able to formulate appropriate and coherent strategies, and Stage 4 (Looking Back), where students tend to ignore validation and rechecking answers. A mechanistic approach without reflection still dominates students' critical mathematical thinking. This research helps teachers and schools diagnose pupils' critical thinking skills. These findings can be utilized to construct learning interventions that improve strategic planning and self-evaluation (reflection) skills in problem-solving contexts to "level up" students' mathematical thinking according to Polya's Theory.

Abstract

The low learning outcomes of students in social sciences, especially in the material of cultural traditions in Indonesia, are often caused using learning models that do not encourage students' independence in exploring the material. This study aims to examine the effect of the self-directed learning model on the learning outcomes of fourth-grade students at Elementary School 2 Latihan SPG Ambon in the social studies subject of cultural traditions in Indonesia. Method: This study uses a quantitative approach with an experimental method. Data collection techniques include written tests, observation, and documentation. Data analysis is carried out through instrument validity and reliability tests, as well as prerequisite tests that include normality and homogeneity tests. Hypothesis testing is conducted to ascertain the significant impact among variables. The results of the study indicate that the self-directed learning model has a significant effect on improving student learning outcomes. This improvement is evidenced by the rejection of H0 and acceptance of Ha through the acquisition of a significance value of 0.000, which is smaller than the significance level of 0.05 (0.000 < 0.05). Descriptive analysis strengthens the finding that the application of this model effectively encourages better academic achievement. This research contributes to teachers' selection of innovative, student-centered learning models to improve the quality of social studies instruction in elementary schools. Furthermore, these results serve as a reference for schools in their efforts to increase the effectiveness of their independent learning-based curriculum.

Abstract

Smashing skills are a crucial element in achieving success in sepak takraw. However, many student-athletes at the regional level, particularly in Maros Regency, have not mastered this technique optimally due to repetitive and less varied training methods. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the drill training method in improving smash skills among high school sepak takraw athletes. This research employed a quasi-experimental approach with a pretest–posttest control group design. A sample of 20 high school athletes was selected using purposive sampling and divided into an intervention group (n=10) and a control group (n=10). The instrument used was a standardized smash skills test. After a 4-week training program, paired sample t-tests were used to look at changes within groups and independent t-tests were used to look at differences between groups. The findings revealed a significant improvement in the intervention group’s performance. The average score increased from 21.30 in the pretest to 33.60 in the posttest (a gain of 12.30 points). Statistical analysis yielded a p-value (Sig. 2-tailed) of 0.000 < 0.05, confirming that the drill method is highly effective. The drill training method significantly enhances the smash skills of high school sepak takraw athletes. This study suggests that coaches should implement structured drill programs to optimize technical performance in school-based sports development.

Abstract

Many eighth-grade students at Junior High School 37 Makassar face obstacles in mastering volleyball skills and have low learning motivation during physical education lessons. Conventional learning approaches are considered less able to create active participation and enthusiasm in practicing basic volleyball techniques. This study aims to improve volleyball skills and student learning motivation through the implementation of the Team Games Tournament (TGT) learning model. This study uses the Classroom Action Research method, which is implemented in three stages, namely pre-cycle, Cycle I, and Cycle II. The subjects of the study were eighth-grade students of Junior High School 37 Makassar. Data was collected through observation sheets, volleyball skills tests, motivation observation sheets, and documentation. Data analysis was carried out descriptively by combining quantitative and qualitative approaches. The research findings show a consistent increase in each cycle. In the pre-cycle stage, students' skills and motivation were in the moderate category. After the implementation of the TGT model, the results in Cycle I began to show improvements and reached a peak in Cycle II, where volleyball skills and students' learning motivation increased significantly. This study shows that the TGT model is effective as a learning strategy to improve both physical performance and psychological aspects of students. These results can be a reference for physical education teachers in implementing a competitive but fun cooperative learning model to achieve curriculum targets.

Abstract

The abstract nature of trigonometric functions often presents a cognitive barrier for high school students, necessitating visual media capable of representing these concepts with mathematical precision. This study aims to evaluate high school students' perceptions of the effectiveness of Python-based mathematical animations as an interactive learning medium for trigonometric functions. A quantitative descriptive design was employed involving 91 students. The research instrument was a Likert-scale questionnaire measuring four dimensions: understanding, engagement, interest, and motivation. To ensure analytical accuracy, ordinal data were transformed into interval data using a z-distribution weighting procedure (Method of Successive Interval). The findings indicate that the media is highly effective across all dimensions. Specifically, the animation significantly clarified the connection between the unit circle and function graphs (understanding score: 3.5064), maintained high student focus through precise transitions (engagement score: 3.4888), and increased learning enthusiasm (motivation score: 3.4904) by making abstract content more captivating (interest score: 3.2339). The integration of programming-based visualization, with an overall effectiveness score of 3.4299, has proven to enhance students' cognitive and affective experiences. This study provides an empirical basis for using mathematically accurate animations as an innovative instrument to bridge abstraction and improve the quality of trigonometry education at the high school level.
