Abstract

This study aims to measure junior high school students' knowledge at Labschool UNTAD Palu regarding the health benefits of exercise. This quantitative descriptive study uses a questionnaire comprising 25 statements across five dimensions of knowledge: Basic Knowledge, Physical Benefits, Mental and Social Benefits, Exercise Habits and Frequency, and Healthy Lifestyle. The questionnaire uses a 5-point Likert scale with the following anchors: Strongly Agree (SA), Agree (A), Neutral (N), Disagree (D), and Strongly Disagree (SD). The determination of knowledge level categories is based on a maximum total score range of 125, where the High category is set at a score range of 100–125 (80–100%), Medium at 75–99 (60–79%), and Low at a score of <75 (<60%). The results showed that the majority of students had a knowledge level in the High category (75% of students). In general, the average total score was 102.5 out of 125, indicating a good understanding of the benefits of exercise across physical, mental, and social perspectives. However, item-by-item analysis found that consistency of behaviour, particularly in the exercise frequency indicator, had the lowest average score (3.75) among all items. The practical implication is that physical education programs need to strengthen the integration between cognitive awareness and behavioural habits, particularly by improving motivational strategies so that students can apply consistency and frequency in exercising regularly.

Abstract

This research investigates the effectiveness of the story-mapping technique in improving the speaking skills of tenth-grade students at SMA Negeri 1 Sindue. The study was conducted because many students faced challenges in speaking English, such as limited vocabulary, pronunciation difficulties, low confidence, and fear of making mistakes. A quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental pre-test and post-test control group design was employed. The sample consisted of two classes: the experimental group (n = 34), which was taught using story mapping, and the control group (n = 36), which received the oral presentation method, in which students practised speaking by presenting material orally in front of the class. Students’ speaking skills were assessed for fluency and comprehensibility by two trained raters specialising in speaking with, and the scores maintained scoring reliability. The descriptive statistics showed that the experimental group achieved a notable improvement, with the mean score increasing from 42.06 in the pre-test to 52.35 in the post-test, whereas the control group showed no meaningful change. The Mann-Whitney U Test further confirmed a significant difference between the groups, indicated by an Asymp. Sig. value of 0.004, supported by a medium effect size (r = 0.34). These findings demonstrate that story mapping helps students organise ideas more effectively, speak more fluently, and express thoughts more clearly. Therefore, story mapping is considered an effective technique for enhancing speaking skills and is recommended for use in an English-speaking classroom.

Abstract

This research was conducted to address the persistent issue of limited vocabulary mastery among eleventh-grade students at SMA Negeri 1 Palasa. Vocabulary is a key component of language proficiency, and effective strategies such as peer feedback are increasingly emphasized to support students’ independent learning. The study aimed to determine whether implementing Peer Feedback could effectively improve their vocabulary achievement. To investigate this objective, the study employed a quasi-experimental design involving two groups: an experimental group of 20 students who received instruction through Peer Feedback and a control group of 22 students who were taught using conventional methods. This study focused on action verbs and common nouns. A vocabulary test was administered as both a pre-test and post-test, and the collected data were analyzed statistically to identify differences in students’ performance before and after the treatment. The findings show that the experimental group improved from a mean pre-test score of 44.83 to a post-test score of 66.15, whereas the control group improved from 48.94 to 58.31. Furthermore, the t-test result (t = 5.17; p = 0.05) indicates that Peer Feedback use had a significant positive effect on students’ vocabulary mastery. Based on the results, the study concludes that Peer Feedback is an effective instructional strategy for enhancing vocabulary mastery among EFL learners at the senior high level, and integrating it into classroom activities can further support active learning and strengthen students’ vocabulary development.

Abstract

In the learning process, students’ beliefs in their own abilities do not form spontaneously; instead, they develop through experiences shaped by classroom dynamics and the quality of pedagogical interaction. Low self-efficacy is often a major obstacle to economic learning, especially when students encounter material that requires conceptual analysis and numerical skills. To understand how such self-beliefs are constructed in real classroom contexts, this study explores students’ subjective experiences of interpreting an autonomy-supportive learning climate and how this climate strengthens their self-efficacy. The research employed a qualitative approach using an Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) design and involved six grade XI social science students selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, classroom observations, and documentation, and were analyzed following IPA procedures. The findings generated four key themes: (1) teacher-provided autonomy that fosters confidence through opportunities for student choice; (2) verbal encouragement that helps students interpret their abilities positively; (3) small mastery experiences that serve as internal validation of competence; and (4) a positive classroom atmosphere that provides psychological safety for active participation and exploration. These results emphasize that self-efficacy development is a socio-psychological process influenced by emotional states, interpersonal support, and meaningful learning experiences. The study highlights the importance of creating a learning climate responsive to students’ psychological needs as an effective pedagogical strategy for enhancing self-efficacy in economics learning.

Abstract

This study aims to describe students' critical thinking skills in solving mathematical problems, particularly in geometry. The indicators used refer to Facione’s framework, which includes interpreting, analyzing, applying, evaluating, and concluding. This research employs a qualitative descriptive method with ninth-grade students as the research subjects. Data were obtained from students’ written test results and supported by interviews to explore their reasoning processes. The findings reveal that students’ critical thinking skills remain relatively low, especially in evaluation and conclusion. Most students can interpret and apply concepts but have difficulty analyzing problems deeply or verifying their solutions. These results indicate the need to develop innovative teaching materials and learning strategies to enhance students’ critical thinking skills.

Abstract

This study examined the mathematical reasoning abilities of elementary students at MI Salamah, in Jambi City, on the topics of patterns and geometric figures. The research was motivated by the limited number of studies that explore students’ real-time reasoning processes in elementary geometry contexts. The study aimed to describe how students with different ability levels demonstrate mathematical reasoning when solving pattern and geometry problems. A descriptive qualitative method was applied, involving three purposively selected fifth-grade students representing high, medium, and low ability levels. Data were collected through two open-ended reasoning tasks developed based on four indicators: making conjectures, performing mathematical manipulations, providing justification, and drawing conclusions. The findings revealed clear variations in students’ reasoning abilities: high-ability students demonstrated logical reasoning but had difficulty generalizing patterns; medium-ability students showed partial conceptual understanding with inconsistent justifications; and low-ability students relied on guessing without coherent reasoning. These results indicate that students tended to depend on procedural thinking rather than conceptual reasoning. The study contributes to understanding the developmental shift from procedural to conceptual reasoning and offers implications for designing instructional activities that strengthen reasoning in elementary mathematics learning.

Abstract

Mastery of the concept of surface area in solid figures remains a challenge for junior high school students, particularly in linking three-dimensional representations with their corresponding nets. This study aimed to examine the effectiveness of transparent solid figures as concrete learning media in improving students’ understanding of surface area concepts. Conducted at SMPIT Al Mubarok, Serang City, during the 2025/2026 academic year, the study employed a quantitative method using a one-group pretest–posttest experimental design. Thirty ninth-grade students were selected through accidental sampling based on accessibility and availability. A concept comprehension test was administered before and after the treatment, and data were analyzed descriptively and inferentially. Results indicated that students’ surface-area comprehension improved significantly following the use of transparent concrete instructional media. The mean pretest score of 81.43 increased to 100 on the posttest. The Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test revealed a significance value of 0.000 (<0.05), and the N-Gain score of 1.00 was categorized as high, confirming that transparent solid media were highly effective in enhancing students’ conceptual understanding of surface area.

Abstract

This study aims to examine whether the Riddle Game can increase the vocabulary of eighth-grade students at SMP Negeri 19 Palu. This research was conducted because it was discovered that students fear making mistakes and have difficulty understanding meaning, using words, and spelling them. Students feel bored when learning from textbooks and only listening to the teacher's explanations. The research used a quasi-experimental design with two groups. The population was 103 students from 4 classes at SMP Negeri 19 Palu. The sample comprised two classes: class VIII A as the experimental group and class VIII B as the control group. Vocabulary tests consisting of multiple-choice, categorization, spelling words, and sentence correction items were used as instruments for both pre-test and post-test. Data analysis used the Mann-Whitney U test to test differences between groups and the Wilcoxon Signed-Rank test to determine changes within each group. The results show that the experimental group achieved a higher post-test mean score, from (32.72) to (72.76), compared to the control group with a score from (36.42) to (47.38), with a significant difference between both groups (p < 0.05). These findings indicate that the Riddle Game significantly increases eighth-grade students' vocabulary at SMP Negeri 19 Palu.

Abstract

The role of Organisational Citizenship Behaviour (OCB) as a mediator of employee performance remains inconsistent, and research in the Indonesian public sector, particularly in West Kalimantan PDAM, remains limited. This study examines the role of Organisational Citizenship Behaviour (OCB) as a mediator in the relationships among motivation, discipline, organisational culture, and employee performance at Regional Water Companies (PDAMs) in West Kalimantan, Indonesia. Using Structural Equation Modelling-Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS) with a sample of 110 employees from PDAM Tirta Pancur Aji, one of 13 PDAMs in West Kalimantan, this research addresses the research gap regarding the mediating role of OCB in public sector organisations. Results indicate that motivation, discipline, and organisational culture significantly influence both OCB and employee performance, with organisational culture exerting the strongest effect, followed by work motivation and work discipline. Furthermore, OCB partially mediates the relationships between these HR factors and employee performance. Research findings also show that OCB has the strongest direct impact on PDAM employee performance. These findings contribute to organisational behaviour theory in the public sector and offer practical implications for PDAM management to enhance service delivery and achieve the Sustainable Development Goals, particularly SDG 6 on clean water and sanitation.
