Abstract

Reading comprehension remains a major challenge in EFL classrooms due to passive teaching methods and low student engagement. This study investigated whether the use of short stories significantly improved the reading comprehension of eleventh-grade students at SMA Negeri 2 Palu. A quasi-experimental design was employed involving two classes: XI E as the experimental group and XI D as the control group. Data were collected through pre- and post-tests. The experimental group showed an increase in the mean score from 83.13 to 92.53, while the control group improved from 74.27 to 81.13. However, the independent t-test indicated that the difference was not statistically significant (t = 0.21, p > 0.05). These findings may be attributed to the relatively short treatment duration and the high initial reading ability of the experimental group, which limited the observable statistical effect. Nevertheless, the N-Gain analysis showed greater learning improvement in the experimental group (0.55) than in the control group (0.27). These findings suggest that short stories have pedagogical potential to support students' reading comprehension despite the absence of statistically significant differences.

Abstract

This study examined the direct and indirect effects of the principal’s transformational leadership and the work environment on teacher performance through organizational commitment among public junior high school teachers in North Banjarmasin District. A quantitative survey design with path analysis was employed. The population comprised 236 teachers, and 148 respondents were selected using proportional random sampling. Data were collected through valid and reliable Likert-scale questionnaires and analyzed using descriptive statistics, multiple linear regression, path analysis, and the Sobel test. The findings revealed that transformational leadership had a positive and significant effect on organizational commitment and teacher performance. The work environment significantly influenced organizational commitment but had no direct significant effect on teacher performance. Organizational commitment positively affected teacher performance and mediated the relationships between transformational leadership, the work environment, and teacher performance. These findings suggest that strengthening transformational leadership, creating a supportive work environment, and enhancing organizational commitment are essential strategies for improving teacher performance and overall school effectiveness.

Abstract

Mathematics learning in elementary schools is essential for developing students’ numeracy skills and foundational mathematical understanding. This study aimed to examine the effects of learning motivation and Visual–Auditory–Kinesthetic (VAK) learning styles on mathematics achievement among second-grade students at SD Angkasa Lanud Silas Papare. A quantitative ex post facto design with a correlational approach was employed. The participants consisted of 70 students selected through saturated sampling. Data on learning motivation and VAK learning styles were collected using validated and reliable questionnaires, while mathematics achievement data were obtained from test scores on addition and subtraction topics. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, classical assumption tests, and multiple linear regression. The results showed that learning motivation had a positive and significant effect on mathematics achievement (β = 1.328, p < .001), whereas visual, auditory, and kinesthetic learning styles did not have significant effects when analyzed simultaneously. The regression model explained 52.02% of the variance in mathematics achievement (R² = .5202). These findings indicate that learning motivation is a stronger predictor of mathematics achievement than VAK learning styles. Therefore, strengthening students’ motivation should be prioritized to improve mathematics learning outcomes in elementary schools.

Abstract

This study was motivated by the increasing use of social media platforms as informal learning resources for English vocabulary acquisition among EFL students. Although social media is widely used for educational purposes, students' perspectives, learning experiences, and the features supporting vocabulary acquisition require further exploration. Therefore, this study investigated EFL senior high school students' perspectives, challenges, and perceived beneficial features of using social media platforms for English vocabulary acquisition outside the classroom. This study employed a qualitative case study design involving approximately 300 eleventh-grade students at SMAN 1 Banjaran, West Java, Indonesia. Data were collected through a screening questionnaire completed by 80 students, a main questionnaire administered to 25 purposively selected participants, and semi-structured interviews with five participants selected through maximum variation sampling. The findings revealed that students generally perceived TikTok and YouTube as engaging, accessible, and contextual platforms for vocabulary acquisition. Features such as subtitles, translation tools, audiovisual content, and example sentences facilitated vocabulary learning, whereas distractions, fast-paced content, limited feedback, and inconsistent content quality remained major challenges.

Abstract

The high rate of internet penetration in Indonesia among adolescents (78.19%) has not been matched by adequate digital security awareness, while existing learning media remain passive and unable to simulate digital threats contextually. This study aims to develop DigiWise, an interactive story game based learning medium using Unity 2D to enhance digital security literacy among Junior High School students. The method employed is Research and Development with the ADDIE development model (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, Evaluation). The novelty of this research lies in the integration of the Danger Level mechanism within the Choice Based Narrative system, which provides  educational feedback based on risk levels in real time. Product feasibility was assessed by two expert validators using a Likert scale 1–5 questionnaire. The media expert assigned 76.7% (Feasible) and the content expert assigned 93.3% (Highly Feasible), yielding a combined average of 85% (Highly Feasible). These results confirm that DigiWise is feasible as a digital security learning medium for junior high school students. However, this study is limited to expert validation and has not yet examined the effectiveness of DigiWise on students digital security literacy.

Abstract

One of the major challenges in elementary science education is students’ difficulty in comprehending abstract concepts due to the underutilization of interactive visual media. This issue is particularly evident in teaching the human respiratory system, which requires three-dimensional visualization to facilitate conceptual understanding and promote scientific literacy. Therefore, this study aims to examine the influence of Augmented Reality (AR) applications on elementary school students’ scientific literacy within this topic. Adhering to PRISMA guidelines, this Systematic Literature Review (SLR) retrieved literature from Publish or Perish, Open Knowledge Maps, and Google Scholar. From an initial pool of 600 publications, a rigorous screening and critical appraisal process yielded 34 eligible articles, with 15 selected for in-depth synthesis. The findings indicate that AR applications consistently enhance students’ scientific literacy by improving conceptual understanding, visualizing abstract science concepts through interactive 3D representations, increasing learning motivation, and supporting meaningful learning experiences. In conclusion, AR represents a promising instructional innovation that provides substantial potential to strengthen scientific literacy and support digital technology integration in 21st-century elementary science education.
