Abstract

Penelitian ini menyelidiki hubungan antara regulasi diri akademik dan kelelahan akademik di antara siswa sekolah menengah kejuruan yang terlibat dalam pembelajaran online. Dengan menggunakan pendekatan korelasional kuantitatif, data dikumpulkan dari sampel 331 siswa kelas X, XI, dan XII. Hasil analisis menunjukkan adanya korelasi negatif yang signifikan (r = -0,125, p <0,05) antara regulasi diri akademik dan kelelahan akademik. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa 39,6% siswa menunjukkan regulasi diri yang sedang, sementara 40,8% mengalami tingkat kelelahan yang sedang. Temuan ini menggarisbawahi peran penting pengaturan diri dalam mengurangi kelelahan akademik, dengan hubungan yang menyumbang 1,6% dari varians tingkat kelelahan. Wawasan ini menyoroti pentingnya mengembangkan keterampilan pengaturan diri untuk meningkatkan kesejahteraan dan kinerja akademik mahasiswa.

Abstract

This study investigates the impact of Quizizz media on the ability to write descriptive texts in class VIIIB at MTs. Al-Musthofa. Utilizing a pre-experimental design with one group pretest and posttest, 30 students from a total population of 126 were selected as the sample. Data were collected through written tests to assess students' writing skills. The analysis revealed a significant improvement in students' writing abilities when taught using Quizizz, with a sig (2-tailed) value greater than 0.05, indicating that the null hypothesis was accepted. Additionally, a positive influence of Quizizz on writing skills was observed, supported by a homogeneity value of 972. This study underscores the importance of integrating technology-based media like Quizizz to enhance creativity and foster an engaging learning environment, particularly for millennial students. The findings suggest that teachers should incorporate varied, technology-supported teaching methods to create a stimulating educational experience.

Abstract

adolescence is a transition period from childhood to adulthood, marked by significant physical, psychological, cultural, and psychosocial changes. This research investigates the impact of gadget addiction on a sixth-grade child (S) who uses gadgets for more than 2 hours daily. The study found that while gadgets can positively facilitate learning and communication with peers, they negatively affect psychological development, particularly emotional growth and moral development. Children using gadgets excessively become irritable and display reduced discipline, often neglecting studies in favor of watching TikTok and YouTube. The study highlights the critical role of parents in mitigating these negative effects by engaging children in activities aligned with their interests, thereby effectively reducing gadget usage.

Abstract

This study investigates the implementation of the English Competency Improvement (ECI) program to enhance students' English speaking skills at MA Bilingual Muslimat NU. Utilizing Classroom Action Research (CAR) with a descriptive phenomenological approach, data was collected through direct observation, interviews, and documentation. Results indicate that the ECI program effectively improves students' speaking skills, fostering enjoyment, discussion, and collaboration among students. The program involves two stages: preparation and process, allowing students to express opinions and ideas. Implications suggest that the ECI program positively contributes to enhancing students' speaking skills, advocating for the use of specific English-speaking teaching methods and encouraging active student participation.

Abstract

This study addresses the issue of low learning outcomes and student disengagement in fourth-grade social studies, where traditional teaching methods fail to capture student interest, resulting in passive participation. The aim was to assess the impact of video learning media on students' cognitive learning outcomes. Employing a quantitative experimental approach with a one-group pretest-posttest design and saturated sampling, data were collected via pretests and posttests. Findings indicated a significant improvement in cognitive learning outcomes post-intervention with video media. The study concludes that video-based learning media, incorporating local wisdom, effectively enhances cognitive learning outcomes in fourth-grade social studies students.

Abstract

This study addresses the psychological and social challenges faced by Mrs. A, a 17-year-old Indonesian teenager, following an early marriage precipitated by an out-of-wedlock pregnancy. With high rates of teenage pregnancies being a significant issue in Indonesia, this case underscores the urgent need for comprehensive support from governments, institutions, and parents. Mrs. A's psychological distress, compounded by insufficient support from her husband and his family, highlights a critical knowledge gap in addressing young mothers' mental health needs. The research aims to evaluate the effectiveness of counseling and personal approaches, including teaching acupressure massage at Li4 and LR3 points to reduce anxiety. Results indicate that targeted psychological interventions and holistic support systems are crucial for optimizing midwifery care and improving outcomes for teenage mothers. These findings suggest that a multi-faceted support approach is essential for addressing the complex needs of young mothers in similar contexts.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the integration of Facione's Critical Thinking Framework in the textbook "English for Change" for grade XI of senior high school (SMA/MA). Using a qualitative descriptive content analysis approach, this study examines the frequency and distribution of six critical thinking aspects of Interpretation (INT), Analysis (ANL), Evaluation (EVA), Inference (INF), Explanation (EXP), and Self-Regulation (SRG) in learning materials and learning activities in five textbook units. Data were collected through systematic document analysis guided by Facione's (2015) operational indicators and validated by an expert in the field of English language teaching and critical thinking. The results showed that in Learning Materials, there were 145 occurrences with ANL dominating (44.8%), while EXP and SRG were almost absent (1.4 each), indicating significant imbalance. In Learning Activities, there were 334 occurrences with a much more even distribution across all aspects. These findings indicate that the “English for Change” textbook integrates critical thinking more comprehensively through activities than the learning materials, and the integration of CT in the Explanation and Self-Regulation dimensions in the materials still needs to be strengthened.

Abstract

Although Artificial Intelligence (AI) has been increasingly adopted in English language learning, limited studies have specifically investigated junior high school students’ perceptions of AI use in supporting English reading skills in the Indonesia context. This study investigated junior high school students’ perceptions of AI use in supporting English reading skills. A quantitative survey design was employed involving 100 junior high school students from several schools in Indonesia who had experience using AI tools for learning English. Data were collected through an online questionnaire adapted from the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) and Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT), covering five dimensions: Perceived Usefulness, Perceived Ease of Use, Attitude Toward AI, Challenges of AI Use, and Behavioral Intention. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics. The findings revealed that students generally held positive perceptions of AI in supporting English reading, with an overall mean score of 3.61, indicating a high level of acceptance. Perceived Usefulness obtained the highest mean score (M = 3.75), followed by Perceived Ease of Use (M = 3.69). although students recognized challenges related to overreliance on AI-generated responses and the need to verify information critically, they also demonstrated positive attitudes and intentions toward future AI use. These findings suggest that AI has considerable potential to complement English reading instruction when integrated responsibly. Therefore, teachers should guide students in using AI critically and ethically to maximize its educational benefits while maintaining students’ independent reading and critical thinking skills.
