Abstract

This research was motivated by the low level of student motivation in story writing activities at SD Negeri 096 Manyabar, Mandailing Natal Regency. Observational data revealed that teachers still tend to use conventional methods and have not yet optimally utilized interactive learning media. As a result, the learning process becomes less engaging and students show passive behavior, particularly in writing stories with the theme “My Experience.” Writing is a productive skill in Indonesian language learning that requires motivational stimuli so students can creatively express their ideas and personal experiences. This study aims to examine the influence of interactive learning media on student motivation in writing “My Experience” stories. The research employed a quantitative approach using a quasi-experimental method. The sample consisted of 30 sixth-grade students at SD Negeri 096 Manyabar in the 2025/2026 academic year. Data were collected through observation, a motivation questionnaire, and documentation of students’ written work. The instruments were tested for validity and reliability before use. The results showed that the use of interactive learning media had a positive effect on students’ learning motivation. The average motivation score increased to 67.23 after the implementation of the media. A total of 86.7% of the students fell into the high motivation category. Furthermore, students' perceptions of the media averaged 59.27, indicating that they felt motivated and supported during the learning process. The increase in motivation was also reflected in students’ active participation in composing, writing, and presenting their personal experience stories. It can be concluded that interactive learning media not only assist teachers in delivering material but also serve as a motivational tool that enhances the attractiveness of the learning process and stimulates students’ creativity in writing

Abstract

In the digital era, the use of technology in education is an urgent need, especially in improving the quality of Indonesian language learning. This study aims to analyze the effect of the use of technology-based learning media on the learning understanding of class VI students of SDN 089 Panyabungan. The research method used is an associative quantitative approach with a simple linear regression design. Data were collected through distributing questionnaires and comprehension tests to 25 students, then analyzed using SPSS software version 24. The results showed that the use of technology-based learning media was in the good category with an achievement of 78.4%. The media used included learning videos, interactive presentations, and educational applications. The level of student understanding of the Indonesian language subject matter was also in the good category, with a percentage of 76.8%. Inferential analysis showed a t-count value of 5.987 which was greater than the t-table of 2.064 at a significance level of 5% (df = 23), so the alternative hypothesis was accepted and the null hypothesis was rejected. This indicates a significant influence between the use of technology media and student learning comprehension. The regression equation obtained was Y = 12.74 + 0.625X, with a coefficient of determination (R²) value of 0.527. This means that 52.7% of students' learning comprehension variables are influenced by technology-based learning media, while the remaining 47.3% are influenced by other factors such as learning motivation, family background, and learning environment. This finding shows that learning media is not just a visual aid, but plays an important role in clarifying concepts, increasing student engagement, and making the learning process more enjoyable.

Abstract

Bali Oka Wedding Organizer integrates traditional Balinese wedding ceremonies with modern service standards, positioning itself not only as a wedding service provider but also as a cultural attraction that contributes to incentive tourism and event tourism. The research employs a descriptive qualitative approach combined with SWOT analysis, using online questionnaires distributed to clients, vendors, internal crews, and both domestic and international tourists. Findings reveal that the main strengths of Bali Oka lie in operational stability, service digitalization, and strong support from local communities and artists. Weaknesses include limited cultural-based certification, vendor coordination issues, and inconsistent global branding. External factors present significant opportunities through destination wedding trends, government support, and multi-stakeholder collaboration, while threats arise from competition with international wedding organizers and limited digital promotion. The identification highlights Bali Oka Wedding Organizer’s strategic role as a supporting product for MICE Tourism in Bali, with recommendations to strengthen branding, enhance human resource competencies, and optimize digitalization to remain competitive in the global wedding tourism market.

Abstract

The development of automatic translation (machine translation/MT) technologies, such as Google Translate and DeepL, as well as applications based on generative artificial intelligence (AI), has brought significant changes to translation practice. While TM facilitates access to cross-language texts, it also presents new challenges in teaching translation. This article aims to examine the challenges and strategies for teaching translation in the era of automation through a literature review. The method used is a literature review of journal articles, books, and conference proceedings published between 2015 and 2025 that are relevant to translation pedagogy, student perceptions, and the ethical implications of using TM. The review identifies seven key challenges: declining student motivation to learn manual translation, the changing role of lecturers to evaluators and post-editors, difficulties in assessing the authenticity of student work, issues of ethics and academic integrity, the need for curriculum adaptation, differences in the quality of TM across languages, and resistance to and over-reliance on TM. Strategies proposed include integrating post-editing into the curriculum, process-based assessment, ethical education in the use of TM, critical learning by comparing human and machine translation results, and translation training for low-resource languages. This article concludes that lecturers play a role not only as teachers of translation techniques but also as facilitators of digital literacy and academic ethics. Recommendations are provided for further empirical research to validate this strategy in the local context of higher education.

Abstract

This study examines the effectiveness of a Project-Based Learning (PjBL) model in improving digital citizenship literacy among Indonesian senior high school students. Grounded in the integration of Pancasila and Civic Education (PPKn) with digital citizenship competencies, the research responds to evidence that students’ digital skills are uneven, with strengths in safety and etiquette but weaknesses in content creation and critical participation. A quasi-experimental quantitative design with a nonequivalent control group was employed, involving Grade XI students from two public senior high schools in Jakarta. The experimental group received PjBL-based instruction on digital citizenship issues, while the control group was taught using conventional expository methods. Digital citizenship literacy covering digital access, communication, etiquette, and rights and responsibilities was measured using a validated Likert-scale test administered as pretest and posttest. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, normalized gain scores, and independent samples t-tests. The findings (illustrative) indicate that PjBL yields higher gains in digital citizenship literacy than traditional instruction, particularly in digital communication and etiquette, which are widely recognized as core dimensions of digital citizenship in contemporary civics education. The study discusses pedagogical implications for integrating PjBL into PPKn and other related subjects to prepare students as ethical, critical, and participatory digital citizens

Abstract

This study aims to determine the effect of the storytelling method on improving students’ speaking skills in Indonesian language learning. The research subjects were 36 fifth-grade students at SD S 117 Islam Terpadu Adnani, Mandailing Natal Regency, in the 2025/2026 academic year. The research employed a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental design using a one-group pretest-posttest model. The instrument used was a speaking skills test covering aspects such as speaking confidence, fluency in storytelling, story structure, and the ability to convey moral messages. The results showed that the average pretest score for students' speaking skills before the application of the storytelling method was 65, categorized as moderate. After several learning sessions using the storytelling method, the posttest average score increased to 82, indicating a significant improvement in students' speaking skills. Inferential statistical analysis using a ttest showed that tcalculated > ttable, with a tcalculated value of 13.92 and a ttable value of 2.030 at a significance level of 0.05 with 35 degrees of freedom. Therefore, H₀ is rejected and H₁ is accepted, indicating a significant effect of the storytelling method on improving students’ speaking skills. More specifically, improvements were observed in several aspects: speaking confidence increased from 58% to 86%, fluency from 62% to 88%, story structure from 61% to 85%, and the ability to deliver moral messages from 59% to 84%. These findings demonstrate that storytelling as a learning method creates an active and enjoyable classroom atmosphere and encourages students to participate actively in developing comprehensive speaking skills. It can be concluded that the storytelling method is effectively used in Indonesian language learning to enhance the speaking skills of elementary school students

Abstract

This research was prompted by the less than optimal short story listening comprehension skills of third-grade students at SD Negeri 105 Adian Jior, Mandailing Natal Regency. This research employed a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental design, specifically the Pretest-Posttest Control Group Design. The study sample consisted of two groups: an experimental class (Class III B) and a control class (Class III A), each comprising 25 students. Data collection was conducted through written tests (pre-test and post-test) consisting of 5 multiple-choice questions designed to measure short story listening comprehension. The test instrument was piloted and met validity criteria (all items rcount > rtable = 0.396) and reliability (Cronbach's Alpha = 0.720 > 0.600), and demonstrated good difficulty levels, discriminative power, and effective distractor functions. Data analysis used the Independent Samples T-Test after fulfilling the normality and homogeneity assumptions. The results showed a significant improvement in short story listening comprehension in the experimental class compared to the control class. In the experimental class, which used audio media, the average post-test score for short story listening comprehension reached 80.8 (pre-test score 62.4), with a highest score of 96 and a lowest score of 64. Meanwhile, in the control class, which used conventional methods, the average post-test score was 65.6 (pre-test score 60.8), with a highest score of 76 and a lowest score of 48. The Independent Samples T-Test results showed a significance value (2-tailed) of 0.000. Since the Sig. (2-tailed) value was < 0.05, the Null Hypothesis (H0) was rejected and the Alternative Hypothesis (H1) was accepted. This research concludes that the use of audio media has a significant effect on improving short story listening comprehension in third-grade students of SD Negeri 105 Adian Jior, Mandailing Natal Regency, during the 2025-2026 Academic Year

Abstract

This classroom action research aimed to examine the implementation of project-based learning with a communicative approach and the improvement of communication skills among eighth-grade students at MTs Pancasila Tanjung Beringin. The study was motivated by students' low communication abilities, characterized by difficulties in expressing ideas systematically, lack of self-confidence, and the dominance of conventional teaching methods that provided limited opportunities for communication practice. The research was conducted in two cycles, with each cycle consisting of planning, action, observation, and reflection stages. The subjects were 35 eighth-grade students at MTs Pancasila Tanjung Beringin in the 2025-2026 academic year. Data collection techniques included observation, interviews, pre-test and post-test assessments, and documentation. Data analysis employed quantitative and qualitative descriptive techniques with t-tests to measure the improvement in students' communication skills. The results demonstrated that implementing project-based learning with a communicative approach significantly enhanced students' communication abilities. The class average score increased from 62.43 in the pre-cycle to 72.57 in Cycle I and 81.29 in Cycle II, representing a total improvement of 18.86 points (30.21%). Classical mastery learning increased dramatically from 11.43% (4 students) in the pre-cycle to 34.29% (12 students) in Cycle I and 80.00% (28 students) in Cycle II. All aspects of communication skills showed significant improvement, with self-confidence experiencing the highest increase of 35.70%, followed by idea coherence (33.36%), audience interaction (32.78%), clarity of delivery (28.69%), and language use (28.52%). Active student participation increased from 20% to 97.1%, and students' responses to learning were highly positive with a score of 4.43 on a scale of 5. The study concluded that project-based learning with a communicative approach successfully created a collaborative, communicative, and meaningful learning environment. This model provided extensive opportunities for students to practice communication in authentic contexts, enhanced self-confidence, developed skills in organizing ideas, and facilitated dynamic interactions.

Abstract

Speaking ability is one of the essential skills in learning the Indonesian language, particularly at the elementary school level. However, observations at SD Negeri 083 Pidoli revealed that sixth-grade students still have low self-efficacy in speaking. They tend to be passive, hesitant to express their opinions. This condition is exacerbated by the continued use of conventional teaching methods. Therefore, an instructional model that promotes active student participation and boosts their speaking confidence is necessary. One model considered effective in this context is Project Based Learning (PjBL). This study aims to examine the influence of the PjBL model on students’ speaking self-efficacy in the Indonesian language subject for sixth-grade students at SD Negeri 083 Pidoli, Mandailing Natal Regency, during the 2025–2026 academic year. The study employed a quantitative approach using a one-group pretest-posttest design. The research subjects consisted of 20 students. Instruments used included a self-efficacy questionnaire, observation sheets for student and teacher activities, and a speaking skills test. The results indicated a significant improvement in students’ self-efficacy after the implementation of the PjBL model. The average pretest score of 67.4 increased to 89.8 in the posttest. The percentage of students achieving mastery learning rose from 50% to 100%. The self-efficacy category also shifted, with 50% of students initially in the "Needs Guidance" category changing to 60% in the “Good” category and 40% in the “Excellent” category. Students’ learning activity was highly positive, with an average percentage of 85.5%. Teacher activity was also categorized as highly active, with an average of 88%, increasing from 70.6% in the first session to 97% in the third. The t-test results confirmed a significant effect of the PjBL model on enhancing students' speaking self-efficacy. Thus, the Project Based Learning model has been proven effective in significantly improving students' confidence and speaking ability.

Abstract

This research was motivated by the low level of interest in learning Indonesian among first-grade students at SD Negeri 087 Panyabungan. Students tended to be passive, lacked enthusiasm, and were easily distracted during lessons. The conventional teaching methods used by the teacher did not align with the learning characteristics of young children, who typically enjoy play-based activities. Therefore, this study aimed to enhance students’ interest in learning Indonesian through the implementation of language game strategies. This research employed a qualitative approach in the form of Classroom Action Research (CAR) conducted in two cycles. The research subjects were 19 first-grade students at SD Negeri 087 Panyabungan. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation, and then analyzed using both qualitative and quantitative techniques. The results showed a significant increase in students’ learning interest. Before the intervention, only 35.98% of students demonstrated learning interest, with an average score of 1.84. After implementing language games in Cycle I, this figure increased to 49.2% with an average score of 2.53. A further improvement was recorded in Cycle II, reaching 75.97% with an average score of 3.37. The percentage of students showing a positive learning attitude also rose from 52.63% (pre-action) to 84.21% in Cycle II. In addition, the learning success rate improved from 30% (pre-action) to 78.94% in Cycle II. Games such as “Name Hunt” and activities using modeling clay (plastisin) proved effective in enhancing student engagement, creativity, and self-expression. This strategy fostered a joyful and participatory learning atmosphere, well-suited to the imaginative and motor-active nature of early childhood learners. It can be concluded that the use of language games is an effective strategy for increasing interest in learning Indonesian among first-grade elementary students.
