Abstract

Mobile game-based learning presents a potential avenue for vocabulary acquisition in English language learning, yet research on students’ perceptions of specific platforms is limited. This study focuses on investigating Grade 9 students’ perceptions of using Alef Education, an AI-based digital platform, for English vocabulary learning in North Sumatra, Indonesia. The purpose is to explore how gamification and multimodal approaches affect learning motivation and vocabulary retention. Using a descriptive qualitative method with a phenomenological perspective, data were collected through participatory observation and semi-structured interviews with ten students aged 14–15. Findings reveal that gamified features significantly enhance motivation, and the multimodal approach combining text, audio, and visuals improves vocabulary retention and application. However, technical issues and limited teacher interaction hinder effectiveness. This study highlights the importance of addressing both motivational and practical barriers in digital platforms. These insights inform strategies to optimize game-based learning for vocabulary acquisition in EFL contexts.

Abstract

is known about how these barriers are experienced within Islamic university contexts. This study investigates such barriers among pre-service chemistry teachers in an Islamic university background. Employing a qualitative case study design, 53 participants were purposively selected and provided data through open-ended questionnaires and in-depth interviews. Data were analyzed using Braun and Clarke’s thematic analysis with NVivo 12 support. The results indicated that organic chemistry was the course most frequently perceived as difficult according to Pre-Service Chemistry teachers (PCTs) in an Islamic University. Building on this finding, thematic analysis identified four main themes as underlying barriers to learning organic chemistry: (a) intrinsic content challenges, (b) high cognitive demands, (c) motivational barriers, and (d) lack of supportive learning tools and approaches. These results indicate that pre-service chemistry teachers’ barriers in learning chemistry are multifaceted, extending beyond content knowledge to include cognitive and affective dimensions as well as contextual limitations in Islamic higher education. The results provide insights for designing pedagogical strategies that infusing Islamic values in science leaning to lead inner motivation, and offer accessible learning tools such as tangible 3D molecular models and digital simulations to support deeper engagement for complex concepts like organic chemistry courses.

Abstract

Social studies learning in elementary schools is often considered boring because the delivery of material tends to be conventional, focusing on lectures and memorization methods. This study aims to analyze the need for social studies learning media for the economic activities of fifth-grade students at SDN Simomulyo I Surabaya. This study used a qualitative descriptive approach with a needs analysis type. The research subjects consisted of fifth-grade teachers and fifth-grade students. Data collection techniques included observation, interviews, and questionnaires. The results showed that social studies learning is still conventional and teacher-centered. The media used has not been able to attract student interest, resulting in low learning motivation. Based on the results of the needs analysis, it was found that students need interactive, contextual, and educational game-based learning media. The economic monopoly game media is considered to have the most potential for development because it can simulate real economic activities, foster cooperation, and increase learning motivation.
