Abstract

This research aims to develop and evaluate the practicality of interactive Electronic Student Worksheet (E-LKPD) to support increasing students' reasoning competence toward reading literacy in a tourism context via the Blogspot platform. This research is development research that combines qualitative and quantitative approaches. The method used is the Jolly and Bolitho development method. Steps taken include the following: (1) identifying material needs, (2) exploring needs, (3) contextual realization, (4) pedagogical realization, (5) material products, and (6) evaluating material according to objectives. This research involved Indonesian language teachers and 62 seventh-grade students at SMPN 20 Palembang as the research subjects. Data collection methods use interviews, questionnaires, and tests. Qualitative data analysis uses a descriptive approach, while qualitative data is analyzed using Likert scale calculations. The results of distributing the needs analysis questionnaire to students indicated that 60.32% strongly agreed, while 33.44% agreed to develop E-LKPD. Product validation was carried out by three validators, namely content validators, content suitability, and language, with a total validation value of 86.67% (very valid). The product feasibility test scored 89.16% (very practical) in the small group test. The effectiveness test for E-LKPD relied on pretest results, which averaged 61.42, and posttest results, averaging 74.85. There was a significant increase in the 2-tailed results (0.000<0.5). The results indicate that the developed E-LKPD can enhance students' reading literacy skills.

Abstract

The post-pandemic situation has triggered a seismic shift in the education landscape, forcing educational institutions worldwide to transition to online learning platforms. Understanding students' perspectives towards this abrupt transformation is crucial for improving the quality of online education. This study employs sentiment analysis techniques, specifically Word Frequency Analysis, to gain insights into students' sentiments and opinions concerning online learning. Using a dataset of student responses collected through surveys and open-ended questions, the researchers conducted a comprehensive analysis of the words and phrases frequently used by students when describing their experiences with online learning. Through the systematic identification of prominent words and their frequencies, this research provides a valuable overview of the prevailing sentiments, concerns, and areas of satisfaction among students. The findings reveal a nuanced picture of students' attitudes. While positive sentiments such as “nyaman”, “baik”, and “responsif" are prevalent, there are also concerns and challenges highlighted, including 'isolation,' 'technical issues,' and 'communication difficulties.' Furthermore, the analysis uncovers variations in sentiment based on demographic factors, course types, and prior experience with online education. This research contributes to a deeper understanding of students' sentiments towards online learning, offering educators and policymakers valuable insights for enhancing the online learning experience. The Word Frequency Analysis methodology employed in this study proves to be a powerful tool for efficiently distilling the sentiments expressed in large datasets of qualitative responses, providing a foundation for further qualitative and quantitative investigations in the field of online education.

In order to do this study, the researchers applied qualitative method, the population was  academic writings texts that were written by students in 2021. Purposive random sampling strategy were applied to get the 12 samples of theses writing specified only texts related to teaching and learning English. Data gained were identified and classified based on the view of resources of cohesion realization and then be analyzed and interpreted to get its result about the text texture. Based on the analysis it was found out that the realization of cohesion as resources of text texture were in reference that covered to personal, demonstrative and comparative references; conjunctions, ellipsis, substitution and lexical organization It was found out that cohesion resources were realized in reference, conjunction and repetition were mostly used. This fact might because of text types and students’ limitation of using varieties realization of substitution, ellipsis and other lexical cohesion. It is hoped that the result of this study can give contribution to the English lecturers, especially to the lecturers of writing and  grammar.

Abstract

The goal of this study is to improve EFL students' exposure to English language acquisition while preventing boredom. In order to get insight into the teaching-learning environment of the classroom and the speaking abilities of EFL students, the researcher used classroom action research. She conducted interviews with the English teacher and students as well as performed observations and administered assessments. With deliberate sampling, this method enables the collection of both qualitative and quantitative data. The pre-test, cycle 1 post-test, and cycle 2 post-test results all showed that EFL students' comprehension of idiomatic speech had significantly increased after using role-playing techniques, as recommended by the study. EFL students performed poorly in the first cycle, as evidenced by their average theoretical score of 62.57 and their 28.57% success rate on the practical test. The EFL mean score on the theoretical test increased to 80.00 in the second cycle with modifications, while the practical test success rate increased to 85.71%. This illustrates how the role-playing technique affects idiomatic speech in EFL. The study also discovered that learners prioritize specific word meanings over metaphorical interpretations, in contrast to native speakers. In the end, the study emphasizes how important it is to take perceptions into account while assessing idiom learning and processing.

Abstract

Higher-Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) are considered as one of the 21st-century skills in education. One of the most efficient strategies to promote HOTS is through assessment. This study aims to find out the percentage of Higher-Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) used in English teachers’ summative assessment in an Islamic junior high school in Banda Aceh. In this qualitative study, Anderson's (2001) taxonomy, which divided thinking skills into two categories: lower-order thinking skills (remembering, understanding, and applying) and higher-order thinking skills (analyzing, evaluating, creating) were applied. The object of this study was three documents of English teachers’ summative assessments containing 150 test items with 145 questions in multiple-choice form and 15 questions in essay form. The questions were listed on a checklist table and calculated into percentages that corresponded to each cognitive level. The result showed that HOTS obtained a lower distribution than LOTS in the English teachers’ summative assessments. Specifically, the percentage of HOTS was only 4.6% (7 questions) from 150 questions analyzed. In conclusion, most questions of English teachers’ summative assessment in the Islamic junior high school can be categorized mostly into Lower-Order Thinking Skills (LOTS). The findings suggest that teachers should be more conscious of HOTS implementation while creating questions. Ultimately, this will improve students’ critical and creative thinking as well as problem-solving.

Abstract

Technological developments play an important role in education. To find out about these developments, it is necessary to conduct an analysis. One analysis that can be done to find out the development of technology is through bibliometric analysis. Bibliometric analysis is an analysis that explains the mapping process based on research trends that utilize analysis of metadata processing. Metadata is the main source for research results that researchers take from Scopus as a primary database. Researchers used quantitative and qualitative analysis methods. The purpose of this study is to analyze and determine the development trend of research related to the integration of technology in teaching grammar as a foreign language from 2013-2023. Data search and database analysis using Scopus software, Ms. Excel and supported by VOSviewer. The results of the research analysis show that in the last ten years from 2013-2023, the research trend on technology integration in teaching grammar as a foreign language is still relatively new and began to develop rapidly in 2022. The core topics that are still very new are in the time span between 2020-2022 which discuss multimedia systems, multimedia technology, educational computing. Meanwhile, the topic that is often discussed is multimedia technology which is then concluded to be the latest research map in the future.
