Abstract

This study investigates the impact of using image media on the mathematical ability of third-grade students in solving fractional story problems at SDN Palatiga. Using a quantitative experimental design, the study involved 30 students from class III (A) and 30 from class III (B). Descriptive tests and observation sheets, validated by experts and pre-tested, were used as research instruments. The findings reveal that while the post-test scores for the class using image media showed an average of 74.33 (with a highest score of 85 and a lowest of 65), the t-test result (sig. = 0.105) indicated no statistically significant difference between pre- and post-test scores. Despite the statistical insignificance, practical improvements in students' understanding were observed. These results suggest that image media has the potential to enhance student engagement and comprehension in solving fractional problems. However, further research with larger samples and extended interventions is recommended to validate these findings and explore broader applications of image media in mathematics education.

Abstract

This study investigates the principles and applications of generative and cognitive grammar, focusing on their influence on language acquisition, literacy development, and second language learning. Spanning from 2020 to 2024, Databases such as Google Scholar and Crossref were used for the initial search, utilizing tools like Zotero and Publish or Perish. Keywords such as "generative grammar," "cognitive grammar," "applications," and "principles" An initial 1,200 articles were identified across Crossref and Google Scholar were employed. After applying rigorous inclusion and exclusion criteria, including the removal of duplicates and non-English articles, 35 articles were selected for in-depth analysis. Key findings highlight the positive impact of generative and cognitive grammar principles on engagement and outcomes in language learning, particularly for young and second language learners. Systematic and explicit instruction in these grammatical frameworks significantly improves syntactic and semantic skills. However, the review underscores the need for more empirical studies to establish standardized methodologies and assess long-term effects. The implications for practice, particularly in curriculum design and educational policy, are significant. Educators should integrate systematic instruction in generative and cognitive grammar into language learning programs, especially for young and second language learners. While grammatical skills are crucial for language development, instructional methods must be standardized to achieve lasting improvements. Additionally, the research indicates that early grammatical processing is a significant predictor of later language proficiency, emphasizing the need for early intervention and consistent instructional methods. Future research should continue exploring the most effective methods for teaching generative and cognitive grammar in diverse linguistic contexts, ensuring that all learners have the opportunity to develop strong language skills. This comprehensive understanding will aid in crafting educational policies and curricula that support robust language development across various learning environments.

Abstract

This study examines how continuous exposure to global, mainly Western, digital content shapes the cultural identity and worldview of Algerian Generation Z and Generation Alpha. Drawing on Malek Bennabi’s concept of colonisabilité, it introduces the notion of digital colonisabilité to describe the growing susceptibility of individuals to cultural and ideological influences transmitted through global digital platforms. Postcolonial insights from Frantz Fanon, Gayatri Spivak, and Edward Said are also applied to analyze identity formation, representation, and symbolic dependency in digital environments. A mixed-methods approach was used, combining questionnaires, focus group discussions, and participant observation involving 65 Generation Z students (aged 20–24) from Abdelhamid Ibn Badis University and 30 Generation Alpha pupils (aged 10–14) from schools in Oran. Quantitative data were analyzed descriptively, while qualitative data were examined thematically. Findings show that both groups demonstrate strong digital literacy and linguistic adaptability. However, Generation Z displays hybrid identity negotiation, whereas Generation Alpha shows early signs of cultural assimilation. The study highlights the need to promote critical digital literacy and cultural autonomy among Algerian youth to navigate globalization with awareness and confidence.

Abstract

This study investigates vocational students’ perceptions of the opportunities offered by digital platforms in English language learning. The research responds to the increasing role of educational technology in the post-pandemic era and the need to evaluate its pedagogical impact on vocational education contexts. A quantitative descriptive design was employed, involving 61 students from the Broadcasting and Culinary programs at SMK Negeri 3 Pekanbaru, Indonesia. Data were collected through a 21-item Likert-scale questionnaire (Cronbach’s α = 0.825). The results show that students hold a moderately positive perception of the opportunities provided by digital platforms (M = 3.27, SD = 0.684). The highest mean scores were recorded in listening (M = 3.49), grammar (M = 3.46), and writing (M = 3.39), indicating that digital tools effectively enhance these language competencies. The findings highlight the potential of digital platforms to support flexible, autonomous, and interactive English learning. However, their full potential is yet to be realized due to limited teacher facilitation and technological barriers. The study recommends strengthening digital pedagogy training for vocational teachers and integrating digital literacy into English curricula to optimize the benefits of technology in language education.

Abstract

This study investigates grammatical and lexical cohesion in Indonesian EFL undergraduates’ argumentative essays and examines how cohesion relates to writing quality. A small learner corpus of 15 timed essays was manually coded for reference, articles, conjunctions, and lexical reiteration following Halliday and Hasan’s framework, and rated with an analytic rubric. Descriptive statistics and Spearman correlations were complemented by qualitative analysis of higher- and lower-rated texts. Quantitative results show frequent use of articles, basic conjunctions, and lexical repetition, but cohesion indices display weak, sometimes negative, associations with overall and coherence scores. Qualitative findings reveal that stronger essays are characterised by stable reference chains, a wider range of logical connectives, and purposeful lexical reiteration, whereas weaker texts rely on broken chains and mechanical repetition. The study argues that cohesion quality, rather than quantity, is more salient for raters and discusses implications for genre-based EFL writing instruction.
