This study explores the effectiveness of an offline English verb application in enhancing the English proficiency. Utilizing a quantitative approach, the research involved administering a written test consisting of 25 multiple-choice questions both before (pre-test) and after (post-test) the intervention. The test questions were of equal difficulty to ensure consistency. A purposive sampling technique was employed to select a single class of 23 students from rural backgrounds as the sample. The findings indicate that the English verb application significantly improved students' vocabulary, as evidenced by notable differences in pre-test and post-test scores. This study highlights the potential of offline educational tools to bridge learning gaps and empower students in underserved areas.

In preparing a history learning assessment, the teacher first determines the skills/strands and learning objectives, then decides on the form and technique of the relevant instruments.

Abstract

Basic education serves as a crucial foundation in individual and societal development. Within the context of the independent curriculum, literacy and numeracy emerge as primary focuses. Enhancing literacy and numeracy stands as a key to providing a sturdy groundwork for individual development. However, results from PISA indicate that literacy and numeracy achievements in Indonesia still require improvement. Differentiated learning emerges as an effective strategy in enhancing students' literacy and numeracy skills by considering the needs and diversity of learners. Research findings demonstrate that differentiated learning can enhance student activity, learning outcomes, motivation, and inclusivity within the classroom. Statistical analyses further corroborate the effectiveness of differentiated learning in enhancing student capabilities. Therefore, differentiated learning warrants implementation as part of efforts to enhance educational quality at the primary school level.
