Abstract

This study aims to explore the relevance and pedagogical implications of Suryawinata and Hariyanto’s translation theory in Indonesian senior high school contexts. Translation is recognized not only as a linguistic skill but also as a tool to develop students’ cultural understanding and critical thinking in English language education. Employing a qualitative descriptive design in the form of a literature review, the study analyzed 46 sources, including books, journal articles, and conference proceedings, published between 2009 and 2025 in both Indonesian and English. These sources were selected based on their relevance to translation pedagogy, strategies, and classroom practices. The findings indicate that the structured stages of the Suryawinata and Hariyanto model (analysis, transfer, restructuring, and evaluation) align well with the needs of Indonesian high school students and can support curriculum goals by promoting linguistic accuracy and cultural sensitivity. Despite challenges such as limited class time, varying student proficiency levels, and lack of specialized teaching materials, the model offers opportunities for integration into project-based learning, formative assessment, and cross-curricular instruction. The novelty of this study lies in its systematic synthesis of translation theory and its practical connection to secondary education, an area that has been underexplored in previous research. This review provides a foundation for future instructional innovation and material development, particularly for teachers, curriculum designers, and educational researchers seeking to enhance English language learning through translation.

Abstract

Purpose - This study aimed to determine the effect of the Think Pair Share (TPS) cooperative learning model using Index Card Match on the mathematics learning outcomes of class X students of SMAN 1 Pekaitan on the material of three-variable linear equation systems. Methodology - The research method applied is a quasi-experiment with a Nonequivalent Control Group Design. The sample in this study consisted of 2 groups, namely the experimental group and the control group. Class X3 as the experimental group, consisting of 30 students and class X1 as the control group, consisting of 26 students. The instrument in this study was a post-test of mathematics learning outcomes, which was analysed using the Independent Sample Test with the help of the SPSS 25 application program. Findings - The results of the study showed a value of 0.004, meaning that the value was significant because the value was <0.005. From the test results, there was a difference between the experimental class group and the control class group. Novelty - This research is important to do because mathematics is still often considered difficult. The use of the Think Pair Share (TPS) cooperative learning model using Index Card Match is very necessary because it can improve student activity, conceptual understanding, and student learning outcomes. Significance - Therefore, this research helps teachers choose new ways to achieve learning objectives. It can be concluded that the use of the Think Pair Share (TPS) cooperative learning model using Index Card Match has an effect on the mathematics learning outcomes of class X students at SMAN 1 Pekaitan.

Abstract

Purpose – This study aims to investigate the impact of the Project-Based Learning (PjBL) model on students' learning outcomes in the science subject (IPAS) based on Marharoan Bolon for Grade IV students at UPTD SD Negeri 122345 Pematangsiantar. The study is designed to assess the effect of this teaching model on student performance. Methodology – A pre-experimental research design using the One-Group Pretest-Posttest Design was employed. The sample consisted of 26 fourth-grade students from UPTD SD Negeri 122345 Pematangsiantar. The study utilised various instrument tests, including validity, reliability, difficulty level, and discrimination index tests. Data were collected through tests and documentation. Data analysis involved normality testing, t-test, and N-Gain to determine the effect of the PjBL model on learning outcomes. Findings – The study found a significant positive effect of the PjBL model on students' science learning outcomes, with a significance value of 0.00 (p < 0.05) and a t-value of 16.11, exceeding the critical t-value of 1.70. These results indicate that the PjBL model improves students’ academic performance in IPAS. Novelty – This research contributes to the field by exploring the application of the PjBL model in teaching science (IPAS) based on Marharoan Bolon, offering a culturally relevant approach for students in Pematangsiantar. Significance – The findings benefit educators and curriculum developers, especially in primary education, by providing evidence of effective teaching methods that enhance student learning outcomes in science.

Abstract

Purpose – This study investigates the effectiveness of combining Suggestopedia and Total Physical Response (TPR) methods to enhance English vocabulary acquisition in elementary learners using a Pocket English Dictionary. The research aims to address the limited vocabulary proficiency among young learners by integrating psycholinguistic and kinesthetic approaches in a tangible format. Methodology – The research utilized a modified Borg and Gall development design with the ADDIE model (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, Evaluation). A purposive sampling method selected 25 sixth-grade students from State Elementary School 091550 in Rajamaligas. Data were collected through observations, interviews, questionnaires, and pre- and post-tests, analyzed using descriptive statistics and paired sample t-tests. Findings – The study found a significant improvement in vocabulary achievement, with average student scores increasing from 44 (pre-test) to 92 (post-test) (p < 0.05, d = 1.56). The validation of media and materials received high scores (92% and 87%), with 94% positive feedback from teachers. The hybrid method of auditory and physical engagement facilitated better retention in a relaxed learning environment. Novelty – This research contributes by integrating psycholinguistic and kinesthetic methods with a tangible dictionary medium, an approach not explored in previous studies. Significance – The findings benefit elementary educators, curriculum developers, and educational media designers seeking effective tools for enhancing vocabulary acquisition in young learners.

Abstract

Purpose – This study aimed to explore the implementation of the GASING KABATAKU (Gampang, Asyik, Menyenangkan) method as an innovative approach to improve students' arithmetic skills and motivation in mathematics at MTs Negeri 14 East Jakarta. The study addresses the persistent issues of low numeracy and math anxiety among junior high school students in Indonesia. Methodology – An action research design was employed, involving 17 sessions split into two stages: teacher training and student implementation. Participants included mathematics and general subject teachers, along with seventh-grade students. The GASING KABATAKU intervention involved kinesthetic and visual learning activities, such as movement, songs, and manipulatives. Data were collected through pre- and post-tests, classroom observations, and teacher reflections. Quantitative data were analyzed descriptively, while qualitative data explored student engagement and motivation. Findings – The study found significant improvement in arithmetic achievement, with mean scores increasing from 60 to 85, and mastery levels rising from 55% to 90%. Qualitative observations indicated higher student motivation, reduced math anxiety, and increased classroom participation. The GASING KABATAKU method effectively enhanced both conceptual understanding and enthusiasm for learning. Novelty – This research integrates kinesthetic and rhythmic strategies into mathematics instruction, offering a replicable model for teacher professional development. Significance – The findings benefit mathematics educators, curriculum developers, and policymakers aiming to improve numeracy skills and foster student motivation in mathematics.
