Abstract

This study aims to identify student's perception about independent learning and activities and also how their teachers encourage independent learning during English class. The research used qualitative method to obtain student's perception. The source of data is 20 students from SMA Brigjend Katamso 1 Medan which Student's perception and experience are the data. Open and close ended questionnaire are used as instruments to collect the data. The close-ended responses are analyzed using simple descriptive statistics (such as percentages), whereas the open-ended responses are categorized into themes to capture the underlying meanings and insights. The results indicate that while students actively engage in independent learning activities, teacher support and encouragement for such independent learning in the classroom is still limited

Abstract

This study aims to explore how the implementation of Problem-Based Learning (PBL) supports independent learning among Grade 8 students at SMP PAB 8 Sampali. A descriptive qualitative approach was employed, with data collected through questionnaires distributed to 11 students using a Likert scale. The findings reveal that most PBL components were effectively implemented, including the use of real-world problems, the teacher's role as a facilitator, interdisciplinary learning, critical thinking, reflection, and the development of lifelong learning skills. However, elements that require greater student participation such as active problem-solving and choosing how to learn were found to be less developed. PBL was shown to enhance students' time management, responsibility, self-assessment, and curiosity. Despite this progress, some students still heavily relied on teacher guidance, indicating a gap in their ability to learn on their own. Therefore, it is recommended that teachers provide additional support to build students’ confidence and thinking skills, helping them become more independent in their learning. Overall, PBL is proven to be an effective strategy for promoting independent learning, although its success depends on how ready students are to take charge of their own learning.

Abstract

This study aims to investigate the strategies used by seventh-grade students at SMP Negeri 12 Binjai in conducting independent learning in English. This study uses a qualitative research design, data collected through a questionnaire consisting of open-ended questions. The instrument, a carefully structured questionnaire, was administered to the students, whose responses served as the primary data source. The data were analyzed using a descriptive qualitative approach through data reduction, categorization, and conclusion drawing, following Miles and Huberman’s (1994) framework. The findings reveal that students applied various strategies aligned with Zimmerman’s (2000) three-phase model of self-regulated learning: forethought, performance, and self-reflection. In the forethought phase, students engaged in goal-setting and planning; during the performance phase, they managed time and minimized distractions; and in the self-reflection phase, they evaluated their learning progress. The study concludes that while students demonstrate foundational self-regulated learning behaviors, there remains a need for more structured guidance to deepen their metacognitive skills and enhance their overall learning autonomy.

Abstract

This descriptive qualitative study investigates the translation performance of two prominent machine translation (MT) tools—DeepL and Google Translate—in the context of high school-level social texts in Indonesia. Five Indonesian texts covering topics such as environment, culture, education, and digital behavior were translated into English using both tools. The translations were assessed by human evaluators based on three key criteria: accuracy, fluency, and contextual appropriateness. The study also incorporates theoretical perspectives on neural machine translation and its role in education to frame the analysis. Findings indicate that DeepL consistently outperforms Google Translate, especially in fluency and contextual sensitivity, although both tools have strengths and limitations. This research contributes practical implications for language educators and students in using MT critically and effectively in learning environments.
