Abstract

Algorithmic journalism has transformed the Indonesian digital media landscape, creating a paradox between the democratization of information and the restriction of freedom. This study analyzes the phenomenon through the lens of Michel Foucault's theory of power, using a qualitative research method with a critical constructionism paradigm. The study of platforms such as Detik.com, TikTok, and Facebook reveals that algorithms operate as a “digital panopticon,” monitoring and disciplining user behavior through biopower technology. Filter bubbles and algorithmic bias create a “regime of truth” that shapes digital subjectivity and controls the distribution of information. However, Foucault's concept of parrhesia offers strategies of resistance through digital literacy and self-management practices. This research contributes to understanding algorithms not as neutral technical instruments but as power mechanisms that shape digital social reality. The practical implications include developing algorithmic transparency regulations and strengthening public participation in technology oversight.

Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of utilizing English songs to enhance pronunciation skills and to examine students interest in learning pronunciation through English songs. The research was conducted using a mixed methods approach at SMPN 1 Panca Rijang in the academic year 2024/2025. A total of 22 ninth-grade students participated in the study. The quantitative data were obtained through pre-test and post-test pronunciation assessments, while the qualitative data were collected from interviews with five students who achieved the highest post-test scores.The quantitative analysis was conducted using descriptive statistics and a paired sample t-test. The result revealed a significant enhancement in students pronunciation scores, with the mean score increasing from 8.18 in the pre-test to 12.91 in the post-test. The mean difference was 4.727, and the t-test analysis produced a t-value of 18.44 and a p-value of 1.89 × 10⁻¹⁴. Since the p-value was far below the significance level of 0.05, the null hypothesis was rejected and the alternative hypothesis was accepted, confirming that the use of English songs significantly enhanced students pronounciation performance. The qualitative findings indicated that showed strong interest and positive responses toward learning pronunciation through songs. They expressed that songs made learning more enjoyable, easier to follow, and more motivating. Some students also mentioned that the rhythm and repetition in songs helped them imitate native like pronunciation more confidently.the findings demonstrate that using English songs in the classroom can both enhance pronunciation skills and foster student interest in pronunciation learning. This suggests that songs can serve as an effective and engaging medium in EFL instruction.

Abstract

Early Childhood Education is a crucial foundation for a child's holistic development. This sector faces various challenges, including diverse individual needs, limited resources, and teacher qualifications. With the rapid advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AI), the question arises whether this technology can be an effective solution to overcome these obstacles. This journal explores the potential of AI in addressing ECE challenges, analysing both the opportunities and risks involved. We discuss how AI can support personalized learning, enhance accessibility, and alleviate the workload of educators. However, we also emphasize the importance of maintaining human interaction, data ethics, and mitigating bias. This journal concludes that while AI holds significant promise as a supportive tool, its implementation must be carried out carefully, integrated thoughtfully, and always prioritize the holistic development of the child.

Abstract

This study aims to Exploring the effectiveness of the Personal Vocabulary Note (PVN) technique in enhancing the English vocabulary mastery of seventhgrade students at SMPN 1 Baranti. A quantitative method with a quasi-experimental design was employed, involving two groups: an experimental group taught using the PVN technique and a control group taught using conventional methods. The research instrument was a multiple-choice vocabulary test administered before (pre-test) and after (post-test) the treatment. The results showed an increase in the average score from 54.69 in the pretest to 81.88 in the post-test. Data analysis using the Independent Samples t-Test revealed a significance value of less than 0.001, indicating a statistically significant difference between the two groups. Thus, the PVN technique proved effective in improving students' vocabulary mastery. Additionally, it encouraged students to study independently and actively develop their English language skills. Therefore, the PVN technique can be considered an alternative teaching strategy recommended for vocabulary instruction at the junior high school level.

Abstract

The development of information and communication technology has triggered a significant transformation in the way individuals and societies communicate. Digital media has not only become a channel for message delivery but also shapes the way people think, interact, and construct social meaning. In this context, digital literacy should not be understood merely as the technical ability to use digital devices, but also as a communicative competence that involves critical understanding of content, context, and the impact of digital communication. This article aims to fundamentally examine the role of digital media in shaping communicative digital literacy and how this concept becomes an essential part of contemporary communication studies. Through a qualitative-descriptive approach and literature review, this study maps the conceptual framework of digital media from a communication science perspective, including the shift from one-way communication to interactive and participatory communication models. The article also discusses the role of digital media in mediating social relationships, meaning-making processes, and identity formation in digital spaces. Communicative digital literacy is emphasized as the ability not only to access and disseminate information but also to understand the dynamics of digital communication ethically, critically, and reflectively. The findings show that understanding the fundamentals of digital media—including the characteristics of digital mediation, algorithms, and patterns of virtual interaction—is an essential component in developing communicative digital literacy. The main contribution of this article is to provide a theoretical foundation for designing adaptive, critical, and inclusive communication strategies in the digital era. Thus, strengthening digital literacy from a communication science perspective becomes a strategic step in addressing the increasingly complex communication challenges of the digital society.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the effect of the storytelling method and scaffolding learning on elementary students' speaking skills. The research problems are formulated to describe: (1) the effect of the storytelling method on the speaking skills of fifth-grade students at SD Negeri 53 Malalin, (2) the effect of scaffolding learning on their speaking skills, and (3) the combined effect of the storytelling method and scaffolding learning on the speaking skills of the same students. This study was motivated by the low speaking ability among fifth-grade students at SD Negeri 53 Malalin. The research employed a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental design, specifically a posttest-only control group design. The independent variables were the storytelling method (X₁) and scaffolding learning (X₂), while the dependent variable was speaking ability (Y). The sample consisted of 32 students, divided equally into experimental and control groups. Data were collected through posttests and documentation, and analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics, including mean, standard deviation, and the independent samples t-test. The average posttest score in the experimental group was 81.5625, while the control group scored 68.4375, with standard deviations of 6.25000 and 4.36606, respectively. The calculated t-value (7.11) exceeded the t-table value (±2.042), indicating a significant effect of the storytelling method. For scaffolding learning, the experimental group scored an average of 85.9375, compared to 68.4375 in the control group, with standard deviations of 4.5527 and 4.36693. The t-value (11.09791) again exceeded the critical value, confirming a significant effect. Finally, the combined application of both methods yielded an experimental group average of 89.3750, with a t-value of 14.92213 and standard deviations of 3.67394 and 4.18027, indicating a significant influence on students’ speaking skills. These findings demonstrate that the use of storytelling and scaffolding methods significantly enhances the speaking abilities of fifth-grade students at SD Negeri 53 Malalin.
