Abstract

Achievement motivation can be formed, developed and improved through learning. The aim of this research is to reveal the influence and contribution of the independent variable to the dependent variable using associative quantitative methods. The research population was all students of the Indonesian language and literature education study program FKIP Nias University and the sample was drawn by purposive sampling as many as 44 people in semester IV. The data collection instrument was a closed questionnaire and analyzed using inferential statistics using multiple linear regression techniques. The research results reveal that: (1) there is a partially significant influence of two-dimensional learning media (X1) on increasing achievement motivation in learning (Y) and every increase in X1 of 1.00% will be followed by an increase in Y of 0.728%; (2) there is a partially significant influence on interest in learning (X2) on increasing Y and every increase in X2 of 1.00% will be followed by an increase in Y of 0.329; (3) there is a partially significant influence of the hard work character value (X3) on the increase in Y and every increase in X3 of 1.00% will be followed by an increase in Y of 0.627; and (4) there is a significant influence together of the variables X1, X2, and X3 on Y and every increase in X1, X2, and X3 of 1.00% will be followed by an increase in Y of 1,684%. It is recommended for lecturers to use this two-dimensional learning media in organizing learning, arousing and developing interest in learning, and increasing the value of students' hard work character in order to achieve achievement motivation in learning.

Abstract

Understanding mathematical and mathematical concepts is one of my fundamental abilities. Therefore, it is necessary to teach mathematics by emphasizing concept understanding so that students are trained to solve problems with the concepts they understand appropriately. This study aims to analyze the knowledge of mathematical concepts of students at junior high school level grade VIII on linear function material. This research is qualitative research with a descriptive method. The research subjects were VIII grade students, as many as 33 students. Data collection through two description questions was then analyzed according to the ability of high, medium, and low student categories. Furthermore, direct interviews were conducted to obtain more in-depth information about students' understanding of mathematical concepts. The results showed that 39.39% of students had high-category mathematical concept understanding ability (ST), 6.06% of students in the medium category (SS), and 54.55% of students in the low category (SR). ST fulfills all indicators with the correct answer, and SS fulfills all indicators, but the answers produced could be more precise. SR cannot apply concepts, so it only fulfills some indicators, which results in errors in solving problems.

Abstract

The research explores the implementation of collaborative learning in teaching English at a Junior Secondary School in Soppeng. This research was conducted at SMP Neg. 1 Watansoppeng, focusing on the teacher's methods, challenges, and teacher’s perceptions of collaborative learning. It uses qualitative research to examine the teacher's strategies, challenges, and experiences in teaching English using this method. Interviews and observations were used to gain the data. The result of the data analysis showed that the teacher uses collaborative writing, peer tutoring, and consensus groups, allowing students to work together. However, challenges include time constraints, language proficiency issues, and managing group dynamics. The teacher views collaborative learning as an engaging approach that fosters creativity, independence, and problem-solving skills. The study suggests that teachers should monitor group dynamics and implement diverse strategies to improve English language instruction.

Abstract

Character education should be prioritized in education not only for students of higher education but for all, including elementary school students. One of the ways is integrating it in subject materials, including English teaching materials. The current study contends that literature can be used as a medium to build students' characteristics by undertaking a comprehensive review of relevant sources. This study used library research where the data sources are credible authorized national periodicals. This study shows that there are some points should be considered in developing English teaching materials, such as: a) teachers need to consider the students’ needs; b) teachers need to make it integrated with character education as demand and needs; c) teachers need to involve planning, developing, evaluating, and revising the product made in the form of teaching materials

Abstract

The important of education today is in line with the explosions of technology used by the students. A lot of students now days using web browser such as: Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Opera Mini, Internet explorer, and others. Cannot deny that those web browser is concern to have data that cannot be responsibility. Thus, make a student have bad behavior which is they did not really understand about the material then just copied into the assignments which can make student lost their characteristic in education. There are 18 characteristics of education mold in the role of Ministry of Education and culture like: religiosity, honesty, tolerance, discipline, hard work, creativity, independence, democracy, curiosity, sense of nationalism, patriotism, achievement orientation, communicative, love and peace, the foundation of reading, environmental awareness, social care, and responsibility. Those character education should be owned by the students while the learning process occur (with using English book to deliver the materials) as their advantages in the future called personality. With the strong character/personality, students are able to catch their dream easily. English textbook plays an important role in building students character education in learning process because it provides relevant materials in each chapter. Farther, the researcher decided to have a study to analyze the existing of English textbook entitled “Bahasa Inggris” for 10th grade of Senior High School in learning process as the implementation of those 18 characters of education in Indonesia.

Abstract

Learner autonomy is not a new concept in education as it is one of the important goals set for students in any language curriculum, especially when most universities in Vietnam employ a credit-based system that requires students to take more responsibility for their learning. The ability to learn autonomously is considered to be an indispensable and important attribute of a successful language learner. This mixed-method study, hence, aimed to explore English-majored students' perceptions of their responsibilities and identify the key factors influencing their autonomy in English learning. The analysis of the quantitative data revealed that the majority of students perceive themselves as autonomous learners, demonstrating a willingness to take responsibility for their English language learning both inside and outside of the classroom. Besides, the findings reveal that various factors influence autonomous English learning, including a lack of motivation, a lack of learning strategies, and laziness. Some possible solutions suggested through the semi-structured interview involve improving self-regulating skills, strengthening student-student and student-teacher interactions, and getting more support from university officials and others in society. Finally, there were pedagogical implications for developing learner autonomy during the process of English teaching and learning.

Abstract

The aim of this research is to understand junior high school students' mathematical critical thinking abilities when facing SPLDV problems. The approach applied is a qualitative approach in the descriptive method. Subjects were selected using a purposive sampling technique and then 3 students were selected from 31 students in class VIII-5 of SMP N 1 Tualang. The test instrument used consists of three questions. Then students' responses were categorized into high, medium and low categories and analyzed these responses using indicators of critical thinking skills in the context of mathematics. Research findings show that students in class VIII-5 at SMP N 1 Tualang have critical mathematical thinking skills and are categorized as sufficient. This can be seen in the answers to test questions which do not cover several aspects of mathematical critical thinking skills. Mathematical critical thinking abilities were measured in three categories, high (9.68%), medium category (70.98%), and low category (19.36%).
