Abstract

This study aims to examine the effectiveness of Cognitive Defusion group counselling services in reducing students' levels of insecurity. The study employed a Guidance and Counselling Action (PTBK) design, which was conducted in two cycles with eight eighth-grade students serving as research subjects, selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected through questionnaires and interviews, and then analysed both descriptively and quantitatively. The results showed a significant decrease in insecurity levels, from 77.12% (high category) in the pre-cycle to 61% (medium category) in cycle I, and further decreased to 55.5% (low category) in cycle II. These findings suggest that the Cognitive Defusion technique is effective in helping students release negative thoughts, boost self-confidence, and enhance self-acceptance.

Abstract

This study aimed to ascertain whether the use of the TikTok app as a digital learning tool could enhance vocabulary acquisition among grade 11 students at MAN 2 Palu. The study was motivated by the observation that many students demonstrated low vocabulary mastery, with limited lexical resources that hindered their ability to use vocabulary effectively in productive language tasks. The researchers employed a quasi-experimental design, assigning students to two groups: an experimental class that utilised TikTok-based learning and a control class that received conventional instruction. A total of 64 students were selected through random sampling and divided equally into two groups. Both groups were given a pre-test and a post-test to measure vocabulary improvement. The collected data were analysed using descriptive statistics and an independent-samples t-test at a significance level of 0.05. The findings revealed a significant difference between the post-test mean scores of the experimental group (86.13) and the control group (68.84). A paired-samples t-test confirmed that the difference was statistically significant, lending support to the idea. These findings suggest that the TikTok app has a positive impact, enhancing students' vocabulary mastery. Therefore, TikTok can be considered an effective and engaging digital media platform that supports English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learning, particularly in improving students' vocabulary mastery.

Abstract

English vocabulary serves as an essential basis for enhancing students’ communicative competence. However, numerous EFL learners still struggle to master this component, and there is a limited amount of research exploring the use of the Taboo Game as a vocabulary enhancement tool in junior high school settings. Therefore, this research seeks to investigate how the Taboo Game can enhance the vocabulary mastery of seventh-grade students at SMP Negeri Model Terpadu Madani. This research employed a quasi-experimental approach, involving two classes: VII Lamalonda, the experimental group, and VII Erwin Sumampau, the control group, which were selected through purposive sampling. The study utilised pre-tests and post-tests as instruments to assess students’ vocabulary performance. The findings showed that the experimental group’s post-test mean score (88) exceeded that of the control group (61). The analysis using SPSS 27 showed that the significance value (Asymp. Sig. 2-tailed) of 0.000 was below the 0.05 threshold, indicating that the alternative hypothesis (Ha) was accepted. These findings suggest that the Taboo Game is an effective tool for enhancing students’ vocabulary mastery in English language instruction. This highlights that the implementation of the Taboo Game can foster active participation, motivation, and retention of vocabulary.

Abstract

This study aimed to investigate whether the Vocabulary Self-Collection Strategy (VSS) could improve the vocabulary mastery of the eighth-grade students at SMP Negeri 4 Palu. A quasi-experimental design involving pre-test and post-test control groups was employed. The population consisted of all eighth-grade students, with two classes selected through purposive sampling: class VIII APEL, serving as the experimental group, was taught using VSS (n = 32), and class VIII RAMBUTAN, serving as the control group, employed the conventional method (n = 30). The study focused on students’ understanding of word meanings and their use of two high-frequency lexical categories: common nouns and action verbs. The data collected were analysed using descriptive statistics and an independent sample t-test, employing a 0.05 significance level. The results showed an improvement in the experimental group, whose mean score increased from 51.8 in the pre-test to 80 in the post-test, while the control group improved only from 54.8 to 63.3. The t-test result, t-count (9.81), exceeded the t-table (1.671), indicating a significant difference between the two groups. These results demonstrate that VSS, when applied to specific vocabulary categories and competency levels, could improve students’ vocabulary mastery. Overall, integrating VSS effectively improved students’ vocabulary mastery by encouraging active participation and recommending its integration into instruction.

Abstract

The phenomenon of online game addiction among youth has emerged as a critical concern in today’s digital society, significantly influencing social interaction and educational outcomes. This study aims to examine the psychological and sociological effects of excessive online gaming through a systematic literature review. Data were collected from 32 scholarly articles and undergraduate theses published between 2013 and 2025, and analyzed to identify recurring behavioral and academic patterns. The findings indicate that approximately 70% of the reviewed studies reported a decline in face-to-face communication, emotional sensitivity, and empathy among young gamers. Moreover, 65% of the sources highlighted academic disengagement, decreased motivation to learn, and lower performance levels. Prolonged gaming also correlates with heightened stress, anxiety, and irregular sleep cycles, demonstrating the multifaceted nature of this behavioral issue. These impacts extend beyond the individual, disrupting family relations and school environments. The study recommends integrated interventions involving parental monitoring, educator participation, and balanced digital policy implementation to foster responsible gaming habits. This research contributes to a deeper understanding of online game addiction by integrating perspectives from social learning and behavioral addiction theories, providing a conceptual framework for future studies on youth digital behavior.

Abstract

This study investigates the impact of interactive teaching methods on student engagement in English classes at Preah Sihamoniraja Buddhist University (PSBU) in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. This research aims to investigate how the use of more student-centred and interactive teaching methods can encourage students to become more involved and active in class, even when the class is perceived as boring, as traditional lecture-centred methods often are. The study used a quantitative method and collected data through structured questionnaires. Likert-scale questions were used to assess their thoughts and level of involvement in class; 63 students responded. Using the mean score and standard deviation, it was found which part of this interaction had the greatest effect on student involvement. The data clearly showed that this interactive teaching method enhances both student engagement and enthusiasm for learning new subject matter. The number of students who engaged in critical thinking was still insufficient in this experiment, a finding that suggests a need for more exercises that require them to solve problems or think more critically, though interactive teaching is effective.

Abstract

This study explores the legal and managerial implications of the absence of a Student Executive Board (Badan Eksekutif Mahasiswa/BEM) at Universitas Pamulang. Law No. 12 of 2012 on Higher Education recognizes students’ rights to form intra-campus organizations as part of their academic and civic development. Nevertheless, Universitas Pamulang operates only through faculty-based associations (HIMA), without a university-level BEM. Using a normative juridical approach and descriptive qualitative analysis, this research reveals that the absence of BEM restricts student representation, weakens interfaculty coordination, and limits participatory decision-making. From a legal perspective, this condition indicates partial non-compliance with statutory obligations regarding organizational rights. From a managerial perspective, it reflects a governance gap that undermines accountability and inclusivity. The findings highlight the need for universities to align legal compliance with participatory management practices to enhance institutional legitimacy and educational quality. The study recommends that higher education institutions establish representative student bodies to foster democratic engagement and fulfill the mandates of national law.

Abstract

External representation is essential in mathematics learning because it enables students to express and operationalize abstract ideas. However, many junior high school students still struggle to coordinate visual, mathematical, and verbal representations when solving solid geometry problems. This study aims to explore how students demonstrate external representations in solving solid geometry tasks by analyzing their pretest responses. A descriptive qualitative method was used involving nine students who completed a pretest, from which three were purposively selected to represent high, medium, and low levels of external representation ability. Data were collected using a test instrument based on indicators of visual, mathematical, and verbal representations. The results show that high-performing students can consistently produce accurate visualizations, mathematical expressions, and written explanations, while medium-performing students demonstrate inconsistent and partial representations. Low-performing students encounter major difficulties in generating meaningful representations. The findings suggest that teachers should strengthen geometry instruction by promoting the balanced use of visual, mathematical, and verbal representations to support students’ conceptual understanding.

Abstract

The limited availability of valid and reliable numeracy literacy test instruments, particularly in the algebra domain, for junior high school students in preparation for the Minimum Competency Assessment exam makes this research important to conduct. This study aims to describe the quality of a numeracy literacy test instrument in the algebra domain for junior high school students. It is a quantitative study with a descriptive approach. This method is used to describe the quality of the numeracy literacy test instrument in the algebra domain, which was developed based on Rasch modeling. The research procedure comprises three main phases: item development, limited trial testing with 8th-grade students, and item quality analysis using the Rasch model analysis with the Winsteps software. The developed numeracy literacy test instrument consists of 12 essay questions. The instrument was then used to collect quantitative data from 34 8th-grade students selected as research respondents through purposive sampling. The results indicate that one item is categorized as invalid (requiring revision), while the remaining items are deemed valid. The reliability index is 0.80, which falls into the ideal category. The analysis of item difficulty levels reveals that one item is categorized as difficult, nine items as moderate, and two items as easy. Overall, the developed algebra numeracy literacy instrument meets the criteria of Rasch modelling, although one item requires revision. Teachers can use this instrument as an assessment tool to evaluate students' algebraic numeracy literacy skills in junior high school. This instrument can also serve as a model for developing numeracy literacy test instruments in other domains.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the development of publications on mathematical connections in Indonesia from 2020 to 2025. A total of 91 articles were analyzed using a bibliometric approach based on metadata obtained from Google Scholar, SINTA, and national journal databases. The analysis focused on annual publication trends, productive journals and their indexation status, research methods, educational levels examined, and dominant keywords. The findings show an increase in publications over the last five years, especially in 2023–2024. Most articles were published in national journals indexed by SINTA, while publications in international indexed journals remain limited. The dominant research method was qualitative-descriptive (52 articles), followed by quantitative (22 articles), mixed methods (5 articles), R&D (5 articles), and literature review (7 articles). Junior high school/MTs was the most researched education level, with 47 articles, followed by high school with 34, while research at the elementary and higher education levels was still limited. The most dominant keywords used were mathematical connections and mathematical connection ability, along with problem-solving and contextual learning. This study highlights mathematical connections as an important focus in mathematics education research in Indonesia and suggests further exploration across varied education levels and methodologies.
