Abstract

This research is motivated by the low learning outcomes of students in the Natural and Social Sciences learning in class IV MIN 21 Aceh Besar due to the lack of active student involvement in the learning process. The low interaction, participation, and response of students have an impact on less than optimal understanding of concepts. This study aims to: (1) describe teacher activities in implementing the Talking Stick type cooperative learning model assisted by Mystery Box media; (2) describe student activities during learning; and (3) determine the improvement in student learning outcomes after the implementation of the model. The method used is Classroom Action Research which is carried out in two cycles, each including the planning, implementation, observation, and reflection stages. Data were collected through observations of teacher and student activities as well as learning outcome tests. Data analysis was carried out using a percentage formula. The results of the study showed a significant increase, namely teacher activity increased from 71.15% to 92.30%, student activity from 69.23% to 88.46%, and student learning outcome completion from 57.14% in cycle I to 90.47% in cycle II. Thus, the Talking Stick type cooperative learning model assisted by Mystery Box media has proven effective in increasing student activity and learning outcomes in the science subject.

Abstract

This study is entitled “The Use of Formal Language Variety in Narrative Writing of Students at SMP Negeri 1 Samudera” and was conducted in the even semester of the 2024/2025 academic year. The study aims to identify errors in the use of formal language variety in narrative texts written by eighth-grade students during the even semester of the 2024/2025 academic year. The research was carried out at SMP Negeri 1 Samudera in April 2025. A qualitative descriptive method was employed in this study. The data source consisted of narrative texts written by eighth-grade students of SMP Negeri 1 Samudera in the 2024/2025 academic year. The most common errors found in students’ narrative writing were the use of informal words resulting from spelling deviations, particularly in the use of the preposition di-. These errors were predominantly committed by students of class 8.3. Students in class 8.4 also made similar errors, mainly due to the use of non-standard spellings. These mistakes occurred because students paid insufficient attention to, and in some cases underestimated, formal writing conventions. Informality caused by vowel and consonant omission or substitution occurred less frequently; however, errors involving consonant substitution were highly prevalent, especially in the word “poto” instead of “foto.” This phenomenon is attributed to students’ habitual pronunciation of “foto” as “poto,” which subsequently influenced their written production. The factors contributing to informal language use in students’ narrative writing include: (1) vowel substitution, (2) vowel omission, (3) consonant substitution, (4) consonant omission, and (5) spelling-related distinctions.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the systemic differences between Japanese beauty adjectives (utsukushii, kirei, suteki) and Indonesian ones (indah, cantik, bagus) and to formulate strategies for developing teaching materials based on contrastive findings. The research employs a qualitative descriptive approach with syntactic and semantic contrastive analysis techniques. Data were drawn from Haruki Murakami's novel Noruwei no Mori and contemporary Indonesian novels. The results show three main findings: (1) there are significant differences in contextual meaning distribution, although syntactic functions are relatively similar; (2) kirei has semantic ambiguity (clean vs. beautiful) not found in cantik; (3) suteki is more subjective and evaluative compared to bagus. Based on these findings, this study proposes a contrastive-based framework for teaching material development focusing on addressing specific difficulties of Indonesian students. The pedagogical implications can serve as a reference for Japanese language teachers in developing more effective and contextual learning materials.

Abstract

Effective teachers’ service delivery is critical for achieving quality education, yet many public secondary schools in Anambra State face challenges of low teacher motivation, limited innovation, and poor instructional outcomes. These issues may be influenced by the prevailing organizational culture within schools. The study adopted a correlational research design to examine relationships among school administrative practices, organizational culture, and teachers’ service delivery in public secondary schools in Anambra State. The population comprised 6,598 teachers, from which 660 were sampled using multistage sampling. Data were collected using three validated and reliable questionnaires. A total of 618 questionnaires were returned. Pearson Product Moment Correlation, analyzed with SPSS, was used to test hypotheses at the 0.05 significance level. The results indicate a very strong positive correlation between adhocracy culture and teachers’ service delivery in public secondary schools in Anambra State. Analysis of data from a sample of teachers (N = 618) revealed a high correlation coefficient (r = 0.868), showing that increases in adhocracy culture are strongly associated with improved teachers’ service delivery. Further hypothesis testing confirmed the statistical significance of this relationship, with a p-value (0.000) lower than the accepted significance level (0.05). Consequently, the null hypothesis was rejected, establishing that adhocracy culture significantly influences teachers’ service delivery in public secondary schools in Anambra State. The study concludes that fostering adhocracy culture in public secondary schools is essential for improving teachers’ service delivery, instructional quality, and student learning outcomes in Anambra State.

Abstract

This study examined the effect of sit-at-home on the business survival of foam manufacturing firms in Anambra State, Nigeria. The sit-at-home directive, predominantly observed in Southeast Nigeria, has disrupted economic activities, particularly in the manufacturing sector. The study focused on three core variables movement restriction, fear of violence, and loss of production time, and how they influence business survival. A descriptive survey design was adopted, and data were collected from 150 top-level management staff drawn from 12 foam manufacturing firms across the three senatorial zones of the state. A stratified random sampling technique was used, and data analysis was conducted using linear regression in SPSS. The findings revealed that all three independent variables had significant negative effects on business survival. Movement restriction was found to have a t-value of 10.606, standardized beta (β) = 0.631, and p-value = 0.000, indicating a moderately strong effect. Fear of violence had a t-value of 12.002, β = 0.674, and p = 0.000, suggesting a stronger relationship between security concerns and reduced business sustainability. The most influential factor, loss of production time, recorded a t-value of 13.043, β = 0.702, and p = 0.000, showing that operational downtime has the most critical impact on business survival. The study concludes that sit-at-home orders pose a serious threat to foam manufacturing firms in Anambra State. It recommends enhanced mobility for essential workers, community-based security systems, and flexible production scheduling to mitigate the adverse effects of sit-at-home directives on business survival.

Abstract

This study aims to (1) describe teacher activities, (2) describe student activities, and (3) analyze student learning outcomes through the implementation of an environment-based Discovery Learning model. This research is a Classroom Action Research (CAR) conducted in two cycles, involving 34 fifth-grade students as research subjects. Data collection techniques included observation and tests, with instruments in the form of observation sheets for teacher and student activities and learning outcome evaluation questions. The results showed an increase in teacher activity from 76.56% (good category) in Cycle I to 91.40% (very good category) in Cycle II. Student activity also increased from 75.78% (good category) in Cycle I to 90.62% (very good category) in Cycle II. In addition, student learning outcomes improved from 58.82% (not yet complete) in Cycle I to 91.17% (complete) in Cycle II. Thus, the implementation of the environment-based Discovery Learning model was able to create an active, enjoyable, and meaningful learning atmosphere. It can be concluded that the environment-based Discovery Learning model is effective in improving student activities and learning outcomes of fifth-grade students in the IPAS subject at MIN 31 Aceh Utara.

Abstract

This study aims to improve students’ learning outcomes in Islamic Education through the implementation of the Discovery Learning model at SMA Negeri 1 Kluet Tengah. The research employed Classroom Action Research (CAR) consisting of two cycles, with each cycle including planning, action, observation, and reflection stages. The participants were 32 eleventh-grade students. Data were collected through achievement tests, observation sheets, and documentation. Quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive statistics to measure the improvement of students’ cognitive learning outcomes, while qualitative data were analyzed to examine changes in student engagement and participation during the learning process. The findings indicate a significant improvement in students’ learning outcomes after the implementation of the Discovery Learning model. In the pre-cycle stage, only 46.88% of students achieved the minimum mastery criterion (MMC) with a mean score of 68.75. In Cycle I, mastery increased to 71.88% with a mean score of 76.34. The improvement became more substantial in Cycle II, where 90.63% of students met the MMC with a mean score of 84.21. Observational data also showed enhanced student engagement, critical thinking, and collaborative participation during learning activities. The results demonstrate that the Discovery Learning model effectively fosters active learning, conceptual understanding, and higher-order thinking skills in Islamic Education. This study contributes empirically to the growing body of research supporting student-centered pedagogical approaches in Islamic Education at the secondary school level. It is recommended that Islamic Education teachers integrate Discovery Learning strategies systematically to enhance both cognitive achievement and student engagement.

Abstract

This classroom action research was prompted by the low writing proficiency of Grade I-A students at MIN 11 Pidie, attributed to the prevalence of conventional lecture and assignment methods. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the Mind Mapping model in improving student engagement and learning outcomes within the "Aku Istimewa" sub-theme. The methodology followed the Kemmis & McTaggart design, conducted in two cycles consisting of planning, action, observation, and reflection. Data were gathered through student behavior observation instruments, teacher performance rubrics, and learning achievement tests. The results demonstrated a significant increase in student active participation, reaching 100% by the end of Cycle II. Improvements in instructional quality were also observed across preparation (87.50%), presentation (85%), method application (80%), and teacher characteristics (91.67%). These findings confirm that idea visualization through Mind Mapping effectively bridges cognitive barriers in early writing, suggesting its viability as a pedagogical alternative in primary education.

Abstract

Sustainable economic growth is among the top macroeconomic goals of Nigeria; however, the nation has been witnessing erratic growth rates, low capital formation, and the infrastructural deficits. At the same time, the amount of investment by the private is below the level that can be widely regarded as sufficient to facilitate long-term development. This research utilized systematic review design to analyze empirical evidence of tax revenue, investment and economic growth in Nigeria. Academic databases were searched using predefined keywords to obtain relevant peer-reviewed articles and institutional reports. The inclusion criteria used to select studies focused on the empirical method and relevance to Nigeria. Data extracted underwent a narrative and comparative synthesis to determine patterns, gaps in the methodology and the moderating effects of public and private investment in tax-growth relationship. The systematic review shows that tax revenue by itself does not ensure economic growth, but its success depends mostly on its interaction with the dynamics of public and private investment. In order to attain sustainable economic growth, Nigeria should embark on balanced tax reform, enhance governance in the area of public expenditure and develop enabling environment to spur private investment. A combined fiscal-investment policy is thus needed in long-run development.
