Abstract

This study aims to describe the influence of the Student Teams-Achievement Divisions (STAD) cooperative learning model on the mathematical problem-solving abilities of Grade VIII A students at SMP Taman Siswa Pematangsiantar, specifically on the subject of Linear Inequalities in One Variable. A quantitative approach was employed using a quasi-experimental one-group pretest-posttest design involving 30 students selected through total sampling. Data were collected via essay-based problem-solving tests, covering indicators of understanding the problem, devising a plan, carrying out the plan, and looking back to interpret the solution. The data were subsequently analyzed using descriptive statistics, paired t-tests, and normalized N-Gain calculations. The results demonstrate a significant increase in posttest scores compared to pretest scores, with the percentage of learning mastery rising from approximately 30% to 80%. The N-Gain value fell within the moderate category, with the most prominent improvements observed in the indicators of understanding the problem and devising a plan. The paired t-test yielded a significance value of < 0,05, indicating a statistically significant difference in problem-solving abilities before and after the implementation of STAD. Furthermore, observations revealed an enhancement in student activity, social interaction, and learning responsibility within group work. It is concluded that the STAD cooperative learning model contributes positively to improving students' mathematical problem-solving skills in linear inequalities and serves as a viable alternative for mathematics instruction in junior high schools.

Abstract

Discourse Analysis (DA) has emerged as a critical instrument in social sciences to uncover power dynamics and social realities, particularly within the context of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). However, researchers often encounter methodological ambiguity when selecting the most appropriate framework among diverse linguistic traditions. This study conducts a critical comparative analysis of three dominant paradigms: M.A.K. Halliday’s Systemic Functional Linguistics, Teun A. van Dijk’s Socio-Cognitive Approach, and Norman Fairclough’s Critical Discourse Analysis (as discussed in O'Regan, 2021). Using a qualitative library research method, this study deconstructs the epistemological foundations and analytical tools of each approach. The findings indicate that Halliday’s framework offers a microscopic lens on textual texture and register, van Dijk’s approach bridges text and society through cognitive mental models, while Fairclough’s model examines the dialectical relationship between language and institutional power. The study concludes with a comparative matrix, providing a methodological roadmap for researchers to align these frameworks with specific social inquiries, such as education, inequality, or policy analysis.

Abstract

This research aims to improve the listening ability of grade IX-4 students at SMP Negeri 5 Pematangsiantar, specifically in identifying regular past tense verb endings (-ed). The background of this study is the students' difficulty in distinguishing /t/, /d/, and /ɪd/ sounds. This study utilized Classroom Action Research (CAR) conducted in two cycles. The subjects were 32 students. Data were collected through listening tests and observations. The results showed a significant improvement. The mean score increased from 47.43 in the pre-test to 80.96 in the post-test of Cycle II. Furthermore, the students' passing rate improved from 16.67% to 74.07%. It is concluded that the Auditory, Intellectually, and Repetition (AIR) model is effective in enhancing students' listening skills and engagement.

Abstract

This research examines the process of internalizing Pancasila values through Civics Education (PKn) as an instrument for cultivating students' leadership habitus at SMA Negeri 1 Siantar. The primary focus of this study is to explore how ideological values are transformed into daily behavior through pedagogical structures and school policies. Employing a descriptive-analytical qualitative approach, data were gathered through participatory observation, in-depth interviews with the principal, teachers, and students, as well as documentation studies. Data analysis was conducted circularly to capture the underlying meanings within instructional and organizational practices. The research findings indicate that the internalization of Pancasila values at this school transcends mere cognitive transmission; rather, it is achieved through the implementation of deep learning strategies in Civics Education, which are integrated into the practical actions of the Kurikulum Merdeka (Independent Curriculum). This process is reinforced by the principal's transformative leadership, which creates an ecosystem of value discipline through routine flag ceremonies and extracurricular activities (Paskibra, Scouts, Rohis, and KSK). These activities are proven to construct norms of mutual cooperation (gotong royong) and tolerance as a collective identity for the students. This study concludes that the formation of a Pancasila-based leadership habitus is highly dependent on the consistency between exemplary school leadership and the availability of spaces for students' self-actualization in negotiating diversity.

Abstract

Reading comprehension is a crucial skill in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learning, particularly for students at the secondary school level. However, many students still experience difficulties in understanding narrative texts due to limited vocabulary, low motivation, and monotonous teaching media. This study aims to improve students’ reading comprehension of narrative texts through the use of Picture Series as an instructional medium. The research employed Classroom Action Research (CAR) with a quantitative approach and was conducted with tenth-grade students of a vocational high school. The research was implemented in two cycles, each consisting of planning, action, observation, and reflection stages. The data were collected through reading comprehension tests and classroom observations. The quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive statistics to determine the mean score and the percentage of students achieving the Minimum Mastery Criteria (KKM ≥ 75). The results showed that students’ reading comprehension improved significantly. In Cycle I, the mean score was 53 with only 6.67% of students achieving the KKM. After improvements were made in Cycle II through more systematic use of Picture Series, the mean score increased to 82, and 83.33% of students achieved the KKM. These findings indicate that Picture Series effectively support students in understanding narrative text structures and sequences of events. Therefore, Picture Series can be recommended as an effective instructional medium for teaching reading comprehension of narrative texts.

Abstract

This study explores the dialectic between the basic literacy crisis and the pedagogical challenges faced by pre-service teachers during the Teaching Practicum Program (PPL) in a rural junior high school setting. Utilizing a narrative-reflective approach, the research reveals a profound disconnection between formal curricular demands and the cognitive realities of seventh-grade students experiencing absolute literacy barriers. This phenomenon is not merely a technical failure in reading but a manifestation of the deficit of cultural capital within the domestic sphere, compounded by the dominance of instructional methods that are non-adaptive to student characteristics. The findings indicate that while students face severe textual literacy obstacles, they possess significant agency and holistic potential in kinetic-organizational activities. Interventions through direct practice-based multisensory strategies proved capable of reconstructing student responsiveness and comprehension, while renegotiating the role of novice teachers amidst structural constraints. This study recommends a reorientation of the PPL curriculum to be more sensitive to rural sociological contexts and emphasizes the strengthening of collaboration between educational institutions and the social environment to break the cycle of functional illiteracy in secondary education.

Abstract

Most research on directive speech acts and power relations focuses on institutional hierarchies, such as teacher–student or employer–employee interactions. However, attention to how power is constructed in the context of informational asymmetry—specifically where no legitimate social authority exists—remains relatively limited. This study fills this gap by analyzing the film Sore: Istri dari Masa Depan (2025), which presents a unique pragmatic situation where a stranger establishes dominance based solely on future knowledge. Using a descriptive qualitative design, this research integrates Searle Speech Act Theory and Fairclough Critical Discourse Analysis. The findings indicate that directive speech acts are the most dominant linguistic feature, used to regulate the interlocutor's bodily habits. The analysis demonstrates that the protagonist applies specific constraints on content to negate or override the interlocutor's agency. The study concludes that, in the absence of formal social status, authority is discursively constructed through epistemic advantage (knowledge superiority), where linguistic coercion gains legitimacy through the urgency of survival. Thus, this research contributes to the pragmatic understanding of power dynamics in high-stakes, non-institutional conflicts.

Abstract

This study aims to provide an in-depth understanding of the experiences of students from the Program at HKBP Nommensen University Pematangsiantar during their Field Teaching Practice (PPL) at Taman Madya (Private) Tamansiswa Senior High School in the 2025 academic year. Over fourteen weeks (August 20–December 10, 2025), the students engaged in teaching activities, lesson plan development, and non-instructional programs within the framework of the Merdeka Curriculum (Independent Curriculum). Employing a narrative study approach, this research positions student experiences as the primary data source to explore reflective learning processes and the formation of professional teacher identity. The findings reveal that PPL serves as a dialectical space where pedagogical theories learned at the university intersect with the dynamic social realities of the school environment. Three key findings emerged: first, the consistency between theory and practice is expressed through the students’ reflective capacity to interpret and adapt theoretical knowledge to contextual realities; second, the mentoring relationship between student teachers and supervising teachers demonstrates a shift from hierarchical supervision toward collaborative partnership that fosters mutual learning; and third, student teachers’ responses to contemporary educational issues—particularly digitalization and the Merdeka Curriculum—encourage the development of technology-based learning innovations and critical literacy practices. The study concludes that PPL not only equips student teachers with instructional competencies but also cultivates professional awareness, pedagogical autonomy, and social sensitivity—qualities that form the foundation of effective and human-centered teachers in an era of educational transformation.

Abstract

Amidst the shifting paradigm of the global industry, creativity has mutated from a mere supplementary skill into a primary modality for Vocational High School (SMK) graduates to navigate the uncertainties of the labor market. However, a sociological gap persists between the idealism of industrial demands and the reality of vocational learning, which is often ensnared in rigid skill mechanization. This study aims to analyze the implementation of the Kurikulum Merdeka (Independent Curriculum) through the Project-Based Learning (PjBL) model as an instrument to reconstruct student creativity. Utilizing a mixed-methods approach, this study evaluates the interaction dynamics between curricular autonomy, the teacher's role as a facilitator, and student engagement in contextual projects. The findings indicate that although the Kurikulum Merdeka provides extensive space for flexibility, the enhancement of student creativity does not occur automatically; rather, it relies heavily on the ability of educational actors to engage in "creative negotiation" amidst infrastructural constraints and the barriers of a passive learning culture. Theoretically, this study asserts that creativity in vocational schools is a result of the dialectic between open curriculum design and a learning ecosystem that supports risk-taking. These results contribute to the development of vocational learning models that are not merely oriented toward administrative compliance but toward strengthening the transformative inventive power of graduates.

Abstract

The Indonesian digital communication landscape is characterized by massive code-mixing (CM) phenomena reflecting Gen Z's hybrid identity. This study aims to synthesize CM semantic trends on digital platforms (TikTok , Instagram, WhatsApp) for the 2015-2025 period using Geoffrey Leech's seven types of meaning framework. Employing a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) based on PRISMA 2020 protocols, 25 high-quality articles (average MMAT score of 82%) were thematically analyzed. Findings indicate that CM is not a language deficit but a Society 5.0 adaptive strategy dominated by connotative (38%) and affective (28%) meanings to build cyber solidarity. Despite its prevalence, a pedagogical gap was identified where 68% of studies ignore social-reflective dimensions and the national curriculum remains laggard in responding to these dynamics. This study recommends a reorientation of digital literacy through contextual semantic modules to bridge language competence disparities in the global era.
