Abstract

Community empowerment is a strategic effort to improve economic welfare, especially for the Family Welfare Empowerment (PKK) women group. This research examines the implementation of the Pentahelix model in training on processing seafood into dim sum made from mackerel in Malabero Village, Bengkulu City. The Pentahelix model approach involves synergy between government, academics, communities, business people, and the media in supporting sustainable community empowerment. The method used in this research is descriptive qualitative with observation, interview, and documentation techniques. The research results show that this training increases the skills and insight of PKK women in processing marine products into products of high economic value. In addition, the Pentahelix model has proven effective in strengthening collaboration between stakeholders, supporting product marketing via social media, and opening up culinary-based business opportunities. Through training programs, people not only gain new skills but also have the opportunity to improve their welfare through creative food-based businesses. However, program sustainability is still a challenge that requires long-term strengthening and mentoring strategies. This research recommends the need for more adaptive policies and sustainable support so that empowerment based on local potential can provide a more significant economic impact.

Abstract

The competency outcomes of Indonesian secondary school students, as measured by the Minimum Competency Assessment (AKM) over the past three years, remain suboptimal, particularly in mathematical proficiency. National data from 2023 indicate that less than 50% of students have achieved mastery in mathematical literacy, highlighting the need for improvements in classroom teaching and learning. A key factor in enhancing AKM implementation is the provision of practice test items, which necessitates that teachers develop the ability to design AKM-style questions to familiarise students with problem-solving strategies. This study aims to develop valid and reliable AKM-Numeracy reasoning test items, contextualised to Bengkulu for senior high school students, and to assess their impact on learning outcomes. Employing a development research approach, the study utilised the two-stage Tessmer model, comprising a preliminary stage and a formative evaluation stage that included self-evaluation, prototyping (expert reviews), and a field test. The large-scale trial involved students from three Senior High Schools or Madrasah Aliyah in Bengkulu City. Findings indicate that the contextualized AKM-Numeracy test items meet validity criteria based on expert evaluations and have the potential to enhance students' mathematical literacy skills. Student responses were highly favourable, suggesting that the incorporation of local contexts contributes to improved engagement with the test items contextualized.

Abstract

This study investigates Taiwanese undergraduate students' perceptions of writing anxiety in academic English writing. The goal of the study was to examine anxiety levels and identify the methods students use to cope with them. A mixed-methods approach was employed, using both qualitative interviews and a Writing Anxiety Perception Questionnaire. The questionnaire assessed three forms of anxiety: avoidance behavior, physical anxiety, and cognitive anxiety. The findings revealed that writing anxiety ranged from mild to severe, with physical and cognitive anxiety being the most prevalent. Students reported that the primary causes of their anxiety were physical symptoms such as nervousness and the fear of receiving poor grades. Qualitative interviews identified several coping strategies, including clarifying assignment criteria, breaking tasks into smaller goals, and drawing on prior experiences. Additionally, structured writing techniques such as brainstorming and outlining, along with feedback from peers and teachers, were found to help reduce anxiety and improve writing outcomes. The results emphasize the importance of addressing writing anxiety in educational settings for students to succeed. Educators can support students by teaching effective writing techniques, creating a positive learning environment, and providing regular feedback. Specialized interventions for both local and international students are recommended to further reduce anxiety and improve writing proficiency, ultimately enhancing academic performance.

Abstract

This qualitative study investigated the rhetorical structure of discussion sections in undergraduate theses, addressing a notable gap in research concerning specific institutional contexts and the need to examine the source of guidance and references utilized. The objectives of this study were to identify the rhetorical moves and steps employed by students, to explore how these patterns evolved across academic years (2020-2024), and to analyze the sources of guidance and references used. A corpus of 35 undergraduate theses from IAIN Curup's English Tadris study program was subjected to manual text analysis using the Loan & Pramoolsook (2015) framework. Further insights were gathered through semi-structured interviews with seven students who have graduated, with data analyzed using thematic analysis. The findings revealed that fundamental rhetorical moves, such as Move 2 (Reporting Results), were consistently obligatory. However, significant absence and trend to be optional were observed in higher-order analytical and evaluative moves, with crucial steps within Move 4 (Commenting on Results) often being optional, and Move 5 (Summarizing the Study), Move 6 (Evaluating the Study), and Move 7 (Deductions from the Study) rarely incorporated. Furthermore, the study identified that students primarily relied on previous theses and supervisor feedback for guidance. Formal institutional resources, such as the guideline book and academic writing classes, were underutilized. This suggests a need for more targeted pedagogical interventions to encourage advanced rhetorical competence in undergraduate thesis writing among students in the English Tadris study program at IAIN Curup.

Abstract

Integrating CTL and OBE in teaching English as a foreign language is possible to apply in the university context since both approaches are based on a student-centered approach and focus on outcomes as authentic assessment. This research was conducted to find out the implementation of integrating CTL and OBE in the English Morphology class. The students of the 3rd semester acted as the subject of the research. The implementation of CTL in the teaching and learning process included the components of constructivism, inquiry, asking, learning community, reflection, and authentic assessment. The OBE result was based on students' projects, which were measured by observing students' knowledge and performance through presentation. The result revealed that integrating CTL and OBE in English Morphology class consequently eases the students to comprehend the concept of morphology as realized from the student project. It can be concluded that integrating CTL and OBE in teaching theoretical subjects in a higher education EFL context affects the students positively. Further research with different approaches to the research is suggested to be conducted. Keywords: CTL, OBE, Integrating, English Morphology Course

Abstract

Mathematical problem-solving ability is a fundamental competency in mathematics education that must be developed from the primary education level. This study aims to describe the mathematical problem-solving abilities of fifth-grade elementary school students in Bengkulu City. The research instruments included a mathematics problem-solving test based on number material and interview guidelines. The results of the study showed that most students were in the fair (29.4%) and low (26.5%) categories in their problem-solving abilities (14.7) in the very low category, while for the very high category (8.8%) and high category (20.6%). The main difficulties faced by students were in the planning phase of the solution and the final verification of answers. The differences in student performance between schools indicate the influence of pedagogical and environmental factors. Teacher interviews revealed that the dominant teaching approach was conventional, lacking emphasis on reasoning and higher-order thinking skills. The findings recommend implementing problem-based learning strategies and providing professional development for teachers to design instruction that promotes critical and creative thinking skills.
