Abstract

The ability to accurately name organic compounds according to IUPAC rules is fundamental in chemistry education. Nevertheless, recent studies indicate students’ misconceptions in this regard. A qualitative research design involving 56 respondents was employed. The instruments for the study are the Students’ Perception Scale in IUPAC Nomenclature (r = 0.80) and the IUPAC Nomenclature Diagnostic Test (r = 0.71). The result showed mixed perceptions of students in this regard. Among the identified students' misconceptions in naming organic compounds are poor knowledge of the parent chain, inability to make sense of substituents, functional groups, isomerism, alkyl groups, etc. Students’ misconceptions in this regard could have a negative implication on their achievement. The teacher could identify and address those misconceptions through innovative strategies and regular feedback. Diagnosing such difficulties would help educators and policymakers work together to develop targeted support systems, improve teaching methods, and promote student success in chemistry.

Abstract

This paper investigates the impact of family dialect on the English pronunciation and intonation of Chinese learners by focusing on dialect differences in the process of language acquisition. The method applied was qualitative, involving interviewing ten Chinese translation major university students about their experiences concerning dialect use, parental support, and self-directed learning strategies. Through thematic analysis, four key themes were identified: (1) Dialect Usage and Influence on Pronunciation, where most participants reported phonological transfer effects leading to a “Chinglish” accent; (2) Parental Support, highlighting variations in family involvement in English learning; (3) Learning Strategies, with learners utilizing self-monitoring, media exposure, and shadowing techniques to improve pronunciation; and (4) Challenges and Solutions, where participants expressed difficulties due to a lack of native English-speaking environments but developed compensatory strategies. It supports the theoretical implications of Bronfenbrenner, stressing the role of family in linguistic development. Recommendations are made for dialect-sensitive teaching strategies using emerging education technologies to assist learners, educators, and families in improving English pronunciation and intonation acquisition.

Abstract

This study explores AI-powered pedagogy for teaching argumentative essays in tertiary English Language Teaching (ELT) through focus group discussions with six experienced ELT lecturers. The research addresses two key questions: how to develop AI-powered lesson plans for argumentative essay writing systematically, and what EFL students' perceptions of AI-powered tools' impact on specific dimensions of argumentative writing are. Using Framework Analysis of qualitative data, the study identifies four areas where AI enhances instruction: scaffolding argument development, providing real-time feedback, improving peer review, and fostering reflective revision. These insights informed the development of a structured 110-minute lesson plan integrating AI tools throughout the writing process. Student questionnaires revealed overwhelmingly positive attitudes (82-90%) toward AI-powered tools, with benefits perceived in generating better arguments, improving writing skills, structuring essays, and identifying flaws in reasoning. The findings suggest that AI, when thoughtfully integrated, can address persistent challenges in argumentative writing instruction by providing personalised support while maintaining a balance between technological assistance and learner autonomy. This research contributes to the growing discourse on AI integration in language education.

Abstract

Visualization in various aspects requires students to understand the meaning clearly, particularly through the skill of visual perception. This article examines how students' visual perception skills are applied in interpreting advertisements. The research method employed is a descriptive qualitative approach with multimodal analysis (linguistics, visual, audio, gestural, and spatial) to uncover the meanings behind advertisements. The respondents involved in this study are students from two universities in Indonesia. The results indicate that students tend to engage more with digital-based advertisements than non-digital ones, with a clear preference for video ads over static images. Additionally, Indonesian students successfully applied multimodal analyses to various types of advertisements. These findings have practical implications for educational practices, especially in enhancing visual literacy and developing critical skills for understanding and creating media. The significance of visual literacy in global educational contexts is highlighted, providing insight into its potential applications in curriculum development and advertising literacy.

Abstract

A three-week cross-sectional online survey of 2,199 Cambodian K–12 teachers used descriptive statistics and cross-tabulations, complemented by chi-square tests, to pinpoint (a) pressing classroom challenges, (b) preferred professional-development formats, and (c) needs for instructional guides. Results showed that 59.8% of teachers wanted support for slow learners, 55.8% for classroom management, and 39.2% for low-tech digital integration; an overwhelming 93.3% favoured short workshops (1–2 days) or medium-length hybrid courses (1–3 months) with follow-up coaching via Telegram; and 60.6 % requested step-by-step lesson guides aligned with national textbooks, ideally as portable booklets and mobile-friendly PDFs. Chi-square tests confirmed that the pattern of classroom challenges varied significantly by grade level (χ²(36, n = 2,199) = 108.34, p < 0.001), whereas demand for ready-made guides was statistically uniform across school types (χ²(16, n = 2,199) = 18.01, p = 0.323). The findings support a compact yet sustained professional development model that begins with practice-focused workshops, embeds ongoing online mentoring, and equips teachers with bilingual visual guides—offering a realistic pathway for translating Cambodia’s ambitious education reforms into daily classroom gains.

Abstract

This research aims to determine the effect of the Independent Curriculum on critical thinking skills and creativity in elementary school students. This research uses a survey method and collects data with valid and reliable questionnaires. Data analysis includes descriptive analysis, ANOVA analysis, and determination test. Data analysis is the score of the implementation of the Independent Curriculum of 90.15 with a very good classification, a critical thinking score of 37.89, and a creativity score of 50.85 with a less classification, the implementation of the independent curriculum has a positive effect on critical thinking and student creativity, and the magnitude of the influence is 67.4% on critical thinking and 49.4% on student creativity. Although the implementation of the Independent Curriculum is classified as very good, the increase in critical thinking and creativity of students is still classified as less. For this reason, teachers must improve their skills in implementing learning to stimulate critical thinking and student creativity, educational institutions must synergize with stakeholders to improve teacher capacity with sustainable programs, and provide facilities that support the implementation of the independent curriculum in the Loura District

Abstract

Students' learning activities require comprehensive teaching materials to achieve optimal learning outcomes. Teachers and students often need supplementary resources to deepen their understanding of poetic elements in poetry learning. This study aims to describe the core elements of poetry—imagery, diction, and figure of speech—found in Emha Ainun Nadjib’s anthology 99 Untuk Tuhanku, and their utilization in developing digital teaching materials for eighth-grade junior high school students. This research adopts a qualitative descriptive approach involving stages of data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. Expert lecturers, IT specialists, and Indonesian language teachers validated the developed materials. The validation results indicate a high feasibility level, with an average score of 96.66%. The digital materials were then implemented in classroom learning, and the results showed a significant improvement in students’ understanding of imagery (88%), diction (89%), and figures of speech (91.5%). These findings demonstrate the effectiveness of integrating literary analysis with digital teaching innovations to enhance students’ literary comprehension. The study enriches digital-based literary instruction and offers a model for future teaching material development in language education.

Abstract

This study explored the reading difficulties of Grade 10 students with the objectives of describing their reading profiles, identifying factors affecting their reading profile, and proposing a relevant output based on the results of the study. The research addressed the problem of persistent reading challenges among secondary learners despite prior literacy instruction. A qualitative case study method was employed. Data were collected using the Rapid Literacy Assessment, unstructured interviews, and classroom observations from five purposefully selected student participants. Results showed that substitution errors were the most frequent reading miscues. These were followed by omission, repetition, and reversion. The analysis further identified key factors affecting the participants' reading profiles. These include socio-economic constraints, minimal parental involvement, psychological barriers, observed reading behaviors, and delayed literacy development. In response, a tailored reading workbook was developed to address the student’s specific decoding and fluency needs. The study emphasized the importance of focused interventions that target both technical and affective aspects of reading. It is recommended that schools enhance parental engagement and increase access to reading materials. The developed workbook is suggested as supplementary material to support struggling readers and improve literacy instruction in similar contexts.
