Abstract

This research aimed to improve the vocabulary mastery of first-grade students at SMP Negeri 3 Kolaka through the Eye Spy Game. The problem addressed was how the Eye Spy Game could improve students' vocabulary mastery. This study used a Classroom Action Research (CAR) design following Kemmis and McTaggart's model, comprising two cycles of planning, implementing, observing, and reflecting, and was conducted collaboratively with an English teacher. The subjects were 18 students of class VII.B. Data were collected through student and teacher observation sheets and a 20-item multiple-choice vocabulary test administered at the end of each cycle, then analyzed by calculating the percentage of students meeting the minimum mastery criterion (KKM = 75). The results showed that student completeness rose from 56% in Cycle I (11 of 18 students passing) to 83% in Cycle II (15 of 18 students passing), meeting the predetermined success criterion of 80%. Observed student and teacher activity likewise improved from the “poor” category in the first meeting of Cycle I to the “very good” category by the final meeting of Cycle II. It is concluded that the Eye Spy Game is an effective strategy to improve junior high school students' vocabulary mastery and can be recommended as an alternative technique for English vocabulary instruction.

Abstract

This research aimed to improve students' vocabulary mastery through the Pictionary board game at the second grade of SMPN 2 Baula. The problem addressed was how the Pictionary board game strategy could improve students' vocabulary mastery. This study used a Classroom Action Research (CAR) design following Kemmis and Taggart's model, comprising two cycles of planning, implementing, observing, and reflecting, and was conducted collaboratively with an English teacher. The subjects were 20 students of class VIII.A. Data were collected through a 30-item multiple-choice vocabulary test and observation sheets covering both student and teacher activity, then analyzed by calculating the mean score and the percentage of students meeting the minimum mastery criterion (KKM = 70). The results showed that students' mean vocabulary score increased from 46.16 in Cycle I, with only 4 students (20%) passing, to 81.81 in Cycle II, with 16 students (80%) passing, thereby meeting the predetermined success criterion. Observed student and teacher activity likewise improved from the “enough” category in Cycle I to the “very good” category in Cycle II. It is concluded that the Pictionary board game is an effective strategy to improve junior high school students' vocabulary mastery and can be recommended as an alternative technique for English vocabulary instruction.

Abstract

This research aimed to obtain empirical evidence about the effect of the shadowing technique on students' listening ability in word recognition at the second grade of SMP Negeri 1 Wundulako. A quasi-experimental, control-group design was used, involving two intact classes selected through purposive sampling: an experimental class (VIII.3, n = 26) taught using the shadowing technique across four treatment meetings, and a control class (VIII.2, n = 25) taught using a conventional method. Both classes were given a pre-test and post-test using a 25-item fill-in-the-blank listening test. Results showed the experimental class's mean score rose from 71.00 (pre-test) to 80.77 (post-test), while the control class's mean score rose from 73.32 to 78.62. Paired-sample t-tests showed both improvements were statistically significant: t = 10.519 (df = 25) for the experimental class and t = 8.527 (df = 24) for the control class, both exceeding their respective t-table values at the 5% significance level, leading to rejection of the null hypothesis. The experimental class's post-test mean was higher than the control class's, and its pre-to-post gain was also larger. It is concluded that the shadowing technique had a positive effect on students' listening ability in word recognition and can be recommended as an alternative technique for teaching listening.

Abstract

This research investigated the effect of the Memrise application on the listening skills of second-grade students at SMK Negeri 03 Bombana. A quasi-experimental design with a non-equivalent control group was employed. The experimental class (TKJ A, n=20) received instruction using the Memrise application, while the control class (TKJ B, n=18) was taught through conventional methods. Data were collected through pre-test and post-test instruments consisting of 15 multiple-choice listening questions. Results showed a significant improvement in the experimental class, with the post-test mean (84.35) substantially higher than the pre-test mean (52.65). The control class improved from 55.72 to 67.39. The normalized gain for the experimental class was 0.67 (medium criteria), compared to 0.26 (low criteria) for the control class. The independent sample t-test revealed a significance value (2-tailed) of 0.044 0.05, indicating a significant difference. The normality test (Kolmogorov-Smirnov) confirmed normal data distribution for all groups (sig. 0.05). The homogeneity test confirmed that both classes were homogeneous. Therefore, the alternative hypothesis (H1) is accepted: the Memrise application has a significant positive effect on the listening skills of second-grade students at SMK Negeri 03 Bombana.

Abstract

This research aimed to obtain empirical evidence about the effect of the Word Chain Game on students' vocabulary mastery at SMPN 2 Baula. A quasi-experimental design was used, involving two intact eighth-grade classes: an experimental class (VIII.A, n = 17) taught using the Word Chain Game, and a control class (VIII.B, n = 17) taught using a conventional strategy, selected through purposive sampling based on the English teacher's judgment of comparable ability. Both classes received a pre-test and, after four treatment sessions for the experimental class, a post-test using a 20-item multiple-choice vocabulary test focused on nouns. Data were analyzed using normality (Shapiro-Wilk) and homogeneity (ANOVA) tests followed by a t-test. Results showed the experimental class had a lower pre-test mean (60.2) than the control class (64.7), but a higher post-test mean (82.6 versus 73.8) and a substantially higher mean gain score (22.9 versus 10.0). The t-test produced to = 3.25, greater than tt = 2.00 at a 5% significance level with 32 degrees of freedom, leading to the acceptance of the alternative hypothesis. Cohen's d was 1.15, indicating a strong effect. It is concluded that the Word Chain Game has a significant, strong positive effect on junior high school students' vocabulary mastery and can be recommended as an alternative vocabulary teaching strategy.

Abstract

This study aimed to determine the effect of implementing the Project-Based Learning (PjBL) model based on Focus Group Discussion (FGD) on the critical thinking skills and activeness of Grade X students in Geography, particularly on remote sensing material, at SMA Negeri 1 Samaturu. This study employed a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental method. The research subjects were students who participated in Geography learning through the implementation of PjBL based on FGD. Data were collected through observations of student activeness and essay tests to measure critical thinking skills based on five indicators: providing simple explanations, building basic skills, making inferences, providing further explanations, and regulating strategies and tactics. The results showed that the implementation of PjBL based on FGD was able to increase student activeness in asking questions, answering questions, responding to opinions, and presenting project results. In addition, students' critical thinking skills also improved, particularly in the indicators of simple explanations, basic skills, and concept analysis. Thus, the PjBL model based on FGD can be used as an alternative learning strategy to improve student activeness and critical thinking skills in Geography learning.

Abstract

The implementation of environmental education programme within North West Province has a history of over a decade. It is at the backdrop of accountability that a systematic and sound, programme evaluation was initiated through the current study. Hence, the current study primary research problem is to investigate the impact of the environmental education (EE) on attitude towards the environment of youth participating within EE. The qualitative search methodology approach was used with the use of standardised questionnaires.  The sampling was done through same focus group using local vernaculars applicable within North West Province. Independent t-test and one way ANOVA was computed. The findings revealed a comparatively high mean score (M = 49.93, SD = 6.98) attitude towards the environment of youth. The overall mean attitude (M = 2.83, and SD = 0.36) towards the environment was slightly lower compared to post-exposure results from other studies. No significant difference in mean attitude toward the environment as a result of gender and age groups was found. However, a statistical significant difference was found as a result of residential district municipality, with youth from Dr Ruth Segomotsi Mompati District Municipality (M = 3.02, SD = 0.41) having a much higher attitude towards the environment than that of Bojanala Platinum District Municipality (M =2.80, SD = 0.34). No significant different between Dr Kenneth Kaunda District Municipality (M = 2.83, SD = 0.38) and Ngaka Modiri Molema District Municipality (M = 2.79, SD = 0.34) and Bojanala Platinum District Municipality (M =2.80, SD = 0.34). In conclusion the current finds were comparable with post exposure mean scores attitude toward the environment studies, which suggest EE programme impact in attitude towards the environment on youth. It is therefore recommend that a pre- and post- exposure studies be conducted in order to credit impact from the EE programme.

Abstract

This research aimed to explore students' perceptions of Google Translate as a translation media and to examine how they evaluate the accuracy of its translation results in academic contexts. The study focused on two objectives: identifying students' perception of Google Translate as a translation tool in academic settings, and determining the perceived accuracy of the translation results it produces. A qualitative case study design was employed, involving students from the English Education Study Program at Universitas Sembilanbelas November Kolaka who had experience using Google Translate for academic tasks. Data were collected through questionnaires and semi-structured interviews, and analyzed using thematic analysis. The findings revealed that students generally perceive Google Translate as practical, easy to access, and helpful for understanding academic texts more quickly. Students often use it to translate long passages, academic articles, and assignments. However, despite its usefulness, concerns were raised about the accuracy of vocabulary, grammar, and contextual meaning. Many students still feel the need to cross-check the results using dictionaries, other sources, or by asking lecturers. The study concludes that while students view Google Translate as a valuable aid for academic translation, they remain cautious about its limitations and continue to apply critical thinking when using it.

Abstract

This research investigates the impact of the Kahoot Application on students' vocabulary mastery at the first grade of SMP Negeri 1 Wundulako. The study employed a quasi-experimental design with a non-equivalent control group. The experimental class (VII.4, n=29) was taught using the Kahoot Application across three treatment meetings, while the control class (VII.5, n=30) received conventional teaching methods covering identical vocabulary material: things in the classroom, living room, bedroom, kitchen, and dining room. Research instruments consisted of pre-test and post-test vocabulary tests of 20 multiple-choice items each. Data were analyzed using SPSS, including Kolmogorov-Smirnov normality test, Levene homogeneity test, and paired samples t-test. The experimental class post-test mean (62.24) was substantially higher than the pre-test mean (45.86), an improvement of 16.38 points. The control class improved minimally from 35.67 to 42.50. The paired samples t-test for the experimental class yielded Sig. (2-tailed) = 0.000 0.05, confirming a statistically significant difference. The alternative hypothesis (H1) is accepted and the null hypothesis (H0) is rejected, establishing that the Kahoot Application has a significant positive impact on students' vocabulary mastery.
