Abstract

The Student-Centered Approach is one of the effective approaches in modern learning, because learning is a process of comprehensive change in the individual, including cognitive, psychomotor, and affective aspects obtained through information, knowledge, and daily experiences. An effective learning process must be designed to be interactive, inspiring, challenging, fun, and able to motivate students to be active. This is in line with the goal of National Education in the National Education System Law No. 20 of 2003, which is to develop the potential of students to become human beings of faith, piety, noble character, creativity, and independence. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of the Student-Centered Approach in improving student learning outcomes, explore the challenges and opportunities for its implementation, and provide recommendations for the development of this approach-based learning. The research method used is descriptive with a qualitative approach based on literature review. Data was obtained through analysis of relevant literature, such as books, journals, and academic articles that discuss the implementation and effectiveness of the Student-Centered Approach. The data was analyzed through the stages of data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawn. The results of the study show that this approach can improve student engagement, critical thinking skills, and creativity. This approach can be optimized through methods such as Project-Based Learning, Problem-Based Learning, and Discovery Learning. With the right implementation, the Student-Centered Approach has the potential to support learning success in various modern educational contexts.

Abstract

This study aims to identify dysfunctions experienced by school principals who hold additional roles in schools located in suburban areas, using a qualitative case study approach. Data were collected through observations and interviews with the principal and students to understand the impact of holding multiple positions on leadership and school management. The findings reveal that the principal faces significant challenges in time management, which affects the effectiveness of performing key tasks such as interacting with students and managing school administration. Contributing factors include a shortage of teaching staff and the assignment of additional roles to the principal that require more attention. Although the principal gains managerial experience from holding multiple positions, this negatively impacts optimal relationships with students and reduces overall leadership effectiveness. Based on the study’s findings, it is recommended to ensure a more equitable distribution of teaching staff, provide training in time management, and review policies regarding the limitation of holding multiple roles to enhance the quality of education in suburban schools.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the concepts, principles, benefits, and challenges of implementing holistic education as a learning approach to shape students with strong character. Holistic education is considered highly relevant in addressing the challenges of globalization, as it not only emphasizes academic achievement but also fosters emotional, social, physical, and spiritual development. The research employed a literature review method by examining various studies and practices of holistic education, including nature-based schools, the Montessori method, and project-based learning. The findings indicate that holistic education can cultivate balanced, creative, and adaptive learners equipped with essential life skills such as empathy, collaboration, and environmental awareness. Nevertheless, several challenges remain, including limited teacher training, unequal access to educational infrastructure in remote areas, and parental mindsets that prioritize academic rankings over character building. To overcome these issues, proposed solutions include teacher training in holistic pedagogy, collaboration with NGOs in school development, and parental awareness programs highlighting the importance of academic and non-academic balance. With strong commitment from government, schools, and communities, holistic education can serve as a transformative strategy to prepare competent and character-driven future generations.

Abstract

This study examines the presence and types of slang in the animated film Encanto, with the aim of identifying the categories of slang expressions and determining the most frequently used type. While previous research has often focused on slang in youth subcultures, music, or everyday interaction, less attention has been given to how slang is embedded in family-oriented animated films that reach global audiences. Using a descriptive qualitative method, the data were gathered through repeated viewings of the film and analyzed with Allan and Burridge’s (2006) framework, which classifies slang into five types: fresh and creative, flippant, imaginative rhyming, acronymic, and clipping. The analysis revealed 125 slang expressions, distributed as follows: 8% fresh and creative slang, 6% clipping slang, 27% imaginative rhyming slang, and 59% flippant slang, with flippant slang emerging as the most dominant. These findings highlight how Encanto relies on informal, humorous, and playful language to engage younger audiences. Beyond entertainment, this study contributes to sociolinguistic discussions of language variation in media and provides insights for educators into how popular films mirror and influence children’s exposure to informal language.

Abstract

Our nation is facing a gambling emergency. The rampant phenomenon of gambling, both online and offline, has affected all aspects of life. The impact of gambling not only damages social relationships, economic needs, and mental health, but the loss of life is something precious that must be addressed. The massive impact is felt by many gamblers, especially online gamblers, who experience stress and mental disorders. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to examine and further explain the psychological aspects of gambling. The method used is qualitative, with a netnographic study approach, which refers to the theory of consciousness transformation introduced by Reza Antonius Wattimena. In consciousness transformation, we can see that the main key to releasing attachment and dependence on gambling is to bring full awareness into human life. The results of the study show that with the existing level of awareness, we can have a good understanding that the phenomenon of gambling is a form of shared problem that we must pay attention to consciously and responsibly. This can be a way for humans to develop well and wisely in addressing every issue, especially those related to gambling.

Abstract

Exploring students’ errors can reveal the students’ knowledge about the target language, and the teacher then can focus on the students’ learning problems. Speaking is considered the most like to contain errors among the four language skills. This study aimed at investigate pronunciation and grammatical errors committed by EFL learners in speaking skills. It focuses on classifying pronunciation and grammatical errors using the Target Modification Taxonomy proposed by Carl James. The method used in this study was a case study. In a total, 20 students in an International Tourism College in Aceh were involved as participants. The data were collected by recording the students’ utterances in a speaking test. Findings indicate that there were four types of pronunciation errors and five types of grammatical errors. In pronunciation errors, the learners committed errors in omission, overinclusion, misordering, and misselection. In terms of grammatical errors, the students made mistakes in omission, overinclusion, misordering, misselection, and blends. These findings highlight the influence of students’ first language (Indonesian) and insufficient exposure to English input. Pedagogically, the results suggest that teachers should integrate minimal pair drills to address common pronunciation problems and provide explicit instruction on subject-verb agreement through focused practice activities

Abstract

Based on preliminary observations conducted by the researchers on second-grade students at Labuy State Elementary School, it was found that the students' reading skills were still suboptimal. This was evidenced by frequent errors made during reading activities in Indonesian language lessons, preventing many students from meeting the expected reading fluency standards. Out of 24 students, only 10 met the minimum competency criteria, while the remaining 14 did not. To address this issue, a reverberating reading strategy supported by leveled books was implemented to enhance reading fluency. The aim of this study was to improve students’ reading fluency through the use of a reverberating reading strategy assisted by leveled books. The research employed a Classroom Action Research (CAR) approach involving 24 second-grade students. Data were collected through observations and tests. The data analysis revealed that teacher activity improved from 76.04% in Cycle I to 92.7% in Cycle II, while student activity increased from 72.91% to 95.83% over the same period. Similarly, students' reading fluency improved from 62.50% in Cycle I to 87.50% in Cycle II. The results of the study indicate that the echo reading strategy has a positive effect on students’ reading fluency. By imitating the way the teacher reads, including pronunciation, intonation, and pauses, students are able to pronounce words more accurately, read more smoothly, and develop proper intonation. The echo reading strategy has been proven effective in improving students’ reading fluency, especially for lower-grade students who still require direct guidance. By imitating the teacher’s reading, students gain concrete examples of correct reading, and their oral reading skills develop gradually. Teachers are encouraged to apply the echo reading strategy regularly and provide continuous guidance to ensure that students’ reading fluency can improve optimally.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the effect of using digital audiovisual media on the literacy skills and early reading abilities of second-grade students at MIN 6 Aceh Utara. This study uses a quantitative approach with a pre-experimental design involving one experimental class. The research instrument is an oral test administered in the form of a pre-test and post-test. The total sampling for this study was 10 second-grade students at MIN 6 Aceh Utara. Data analysis in this study used a parametric test, namely a dependent difference test (t-test). The results showed a significant effect from the dependent t-test results, namely 7.927, which was greater than 1.883 in the students' early reading skills. The average pre-test score was 57, which is categorized as very low. After being given treatment with digital audiovisual media, the average post-test score increased to 89.5, which is categorized as very high. This increase proves that the use of audiovisual media can effectively improve students' early reading literacy skills.

Abstract

This study explores the dynamics of interpersonal conflict between parents and students in career decision-making at SMA Negeri 2 Kupang Timur, a context characterized by strong cultural values and limited access to career information. Using a qualitative phenomenological approach, the research examines forms of conflict, contributing factors, and the emotional and academic impacts on students. Findings reveal that conflicts commonly arise from mismatched expectations, with parents prioritizing stability and social status while students seek careers aligned with personal interests and talents. These conflicts often lead to stress, decreased motivation, and strained family relationships. The study highlights the significant role of Guidance and Counseling (BK) teachers as mediators who facilitate constructive communication. Additionally, the Interest and Talent Assessment (ABM) serves as an effective tool to bridge perception gaps by providing objective data. The research concludes that reconciliation is achievable through open dialogue, data-based understanding, and collaborative decision-making involving both parents and students.
