Abstract

The rapid advancement of technology in the globalization era has transformed education, emphasizing the integration of innovative tools to enhance learning quality. This study investigates the influence of interactive learning media using a digital storytelling approach on student learning outcomes in Informatics at SMPN 5 Padang Panjang. It combines narratives with multimedia elements like images, audio, video, and animations to make learning more engaging and meaningful. Employing a quantitative quasi-experimental design, this research involved 62 grade VIII students: 31 in the experimental group (using interactive digital storytelling media) and 31 in the control group (conventional methods). Data were collected via pre- and post-tests, analyzed using Shapiro-Wilk for normality (Sig. > 0.05, confirming normal distribution), Levene's test for homogeneity (Sig. = 0.103 > 0.05, indicating equal variances), and independent sample t-test for hypothesis testing. Results revealed a significant difference in post-test scores: the experimental group's mean was 87.94 (SD = 7.711), compared to the control group's 82.29 (SD = 10.706). The t-test yielded t_count = 2.38 > t_table = 1.671 (df = 60, α = 0.05, Sig. = 0.020), rejecting the null hypothesis and confirming a positive, significant effect. Students in the experimental group showed high enthusiasm and active participation, particularly in understanding Computer Systems material.

Abstract

This research aims to determine the effect of using Wordwall-based educational games in Problem-Based Learning (PBL) on the learning outcomes of Informatics subject at SMP Negeri 1 Angkola Barat. The research method used is a quasi-experimental design with a non-equivalent control group design approach. The research sample consists of two classes: the experimental class using Wordwall educational games in PBL-based learning and the control class using conventional methods. Data collection was carried out through pretest and posttest to measure students' learning outcomes. The analysis results show that the data are normally distributed and homogeneous, so an independent t-test was conducted. The calculated t-value of 3.04 is greater than the t-table value of 2.002 with a significance of 0.004 (<0.05), indicating a significant difference between the two groups. The posttest mean score for the experimental class was 87.83, while for the control class it was 80.63, demonstrating a significant improvement in students' learning outcomes through the use of educational games. The results of this research affirm that integrating interactive learning media such as Wordwall in PBL can enhance students' motivation, engagement, and understanding of Informatics material, serving as an effective alternative in 21st-century learning.

Abstract

Job hopping is a phenomenon of frequent job changes that has become increasingly prevalent among Generation Z, who are young workers. Generation Z tends to switch jobs in order to meet their expectations related to satisfaction and work-life balance. This study aims to examine the relationship between job satisfaction and work-life balance with job hopping behavior among Generation Z. The subjects of this study were Generation Z employees currently working at PT. X Surabaya, with a population size of 130 individuals. The sampling technique used was probability sampling with the random sampling method, resulting in a sample of 108 respondents. Multiple regression analysis was employed as the data analysis technique. The results of the analysis show that job satisfaction and work-life balance have a simultaneous and significant relationship with job hopping. Both job satisfaction and work-life balance were found to have a negative association with job hopping, with job satisfaction having a stronger influence compared to work-life balance.

Abstract

Predicting carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions from vehicles is a crucial effort in mitigating the environmental impact of the transportation sector. This study compares the performance of two boosting models, XGBoost and Gradient Boosting, in predicting vehicle CO₂ emissions. The dataset includes various technical features of vehicles such as engine size, fuel consumption, and transmission type. Data preprocessing steps involved normalizing and encoding categorical features to ensure data readiness. XGBoost and Gradient Boosting models were implemented with an 80:20 data split for training and testing. Model performance was evaluated using metrics such as Mean Absolute Error (MAE), Mean Squared Error (MSE), Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE), and R-squared (R²). The results indicate that Gradient Boosting slightly outperformed XGBoost with MAE of 2.092, MSE of 14.414, RMSE of 3.796, and R² of 0.9958, compared to XGBoost which achieved MAE of 2.098, MSE of 14.697, RMSE of 3.833, and R² of 0.9957. Both models demonstrated excellent performance, with Gradient Boosting being more accurate in predicting CO₂ emissions. These findings provide significant insights for the development of environmental policies and the design of more eco-friendly vehicles.

Abstract

This research investigates how effective the Problem Based Learning (PBL) method is at improving students’ understanding of reading through narrative texts in SMP GKPS 13 Sibarou. The study was motivated by the finding that numerous eighth-grade students struggled with grasping text organization and main concepts in their reading materials. To tackle this challenge, the teacher adopted PBL techniques by offering students real-world problems related to narrative text analysis, which they addressed collectively through reading aloud, discussions, and presentations. The research included 14 students who were paired up, and it utilized worksheets, observation forms, reading comprehension assessments, and documentation as tools. Activities were crafted to encourage students to recognize the organization of narrative texts, apply past tense verbs, and derive meaning through guided inquiry. The reading aloud method aided learners in enhancing their pronunciation, fluency, and understanding of the texts. The findings indicated a significant improvement in students' narrative text comprehension, along with heightened confidence, involvement, and critical thinking skills. The incorporation of PBL encouraged teamwork and a more profound engagement with the content. This method is advantageous for English educators looking to develop meaningful, student-focused learning experiences.

Abstract

This study aims to observe the process and outcomes of writing skill assessment among fourth-grade students at SD Swasta Latihan 1 YP HKBP PEMATANG SIANTAR. The background of this observation is the students’ limited ability to construct grammatically correct and structured English sentences. The teaching method used was sentence building, a technique where students are guided to form complete sentences from scrambled words provided by the teacher. This method was chosen as it is suitable for elementary-level students who are still developing basic sentence construction skills in English. The participants of this observation were all fourth-grade students. Data were collected through classroom observation, student worksheets, and reflective teacher notes. The teaching activity was conducted in stages, starting from the introduction of simple sentence patterns (Subject + Verb + Object), continued with guided sentence construction exercises, and concluded with individual writing tasks as evaluation. The observation results showed that most students demonstrated noticeable improvement in understanding sentence structure and exhibited greater confidence in writing short English sentences. Although minor errors in grammar and spelling were still present, the sentence building method proved to be effective in supporting students’ writing development. Therefore, it is recommended that this method be applied consistently in elementary-level writing instruction, especially in the context of sentence construction activities.

Abstract

This community service program aimed to improve listening comprehension among fourth-grade students at SD Negeri 124385 Pematangsiantar through the integration of BBC Learning English audio and the Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) approach. The problem addressed was the limited use of authentic listening activities in classrooms. The program involved 19 students and was carried out in three phases: preparation, implementation, and evaluation. During the implementation, students participated in contextual listening tasks, vocabulary repetition, group analysis, and interactive question sessions. Rather than using formal tests, the evaluation focused on student engagement and response accuracy through observation. Results showed that 78.95% of students achieved strong listening performance. The findings suggest that integrating Communicative Language Teaching with accessible audio materials supports effective and affordable listening skill development in elementary classrooms.
