This study examines how Junior High School Samarinda uses Kahoot! in flipped classrooms, with an emphasis on how it affects student motivation, engagement, and academic performance when learning English. Data was gathered via surveys, interviews, and observations using a qualitative case study approach with students in first-grade students. The results showed that Kahoot! greatly raises student achievement and motivation, and average scores show a strong desire to use it.

Abstract

The development of psychosexual stages in children significantly influences their behavior. There are five stages: oral, anal, phallic, latent, and genital. Disruptions or fixations during any stage can impact societal conduct and relationships. In Kafka on the Shore, parental abandonment causes fixation in one of these stages, as seen in the main character, Kafka Tamura. This disrupted bond leads to repressed emotions and unfulfilled desires manifesting as sexual deviance. Therefore, this study aims to describe the development of sexual deviance due to traumatic parental abandonment in Haruki Murakami’s Kafka on the Shore, using a descriptive qualitative method and analyzed through Sigmund Freud’s psychoanalytic theory. It affirms that neglectful parental figures can significantly impact a child's psychological development.

Abstract

Reflective teaching is vital for improving teaching performance. Self-reflection has been expected to bring a positive impact on reflective teaching. Hence, this study explores the significance of reflective teaching with two research questions: 1) How is reflective teaching through self-reflection seen? 2) What are the best strategies for implementingreflective teaching? The study was conducted with a qualitative approach through systematic review by analyzing some studies related to the research variables. Previous studies on the research questions were formulated, followed by analyzing and synthesizing the data. The result of the study indicates that the importance of journaling or keeping a diary for teachers as a means of self-reflection is still relevant today and still plays a role in teaching reflection. However, teaching reflection alone does not completely assist teachers in receiving thorough and beneficial reflection to enhance their teaching performance. Other important strategies such as peer observation, reflection training, peer observation, and the use of students such as students' assessment and results also carry out important parts in reflective teaching.

Abstract

This article investigates into Kaiser Haq’s poetic masterpiece, “Ode on the Lungi”, exploring its theoretical underpinnings and critical insights. The study employs a multidimensional approach, integrating postcolonial theories, literary analysis, and socio-cultural inquiry to unravel the symbolic significance of the lungi as a representation of subaltern voices. Haq strategically uses the lungi to challenge power imbalances, resist sartorial hegemony, and advocate for sartorial equality in the face of globalization. The research method includes qualitative analysis, theoretical engagement, and empirical evidence, aligning with postcolonial scholars such as Gramsci and Guha. The article underscores the poem’s role in breaking down divisive dichotomies and promoting democratic ideals. Through theoretical insights and close textual analysis, the study explores how the lungi, as a symbol of the underclass, resists aggressive modernism, demanding equal standing in the postcolonial and globalized reality. The poet’s call for “sartorial equality” transcends fashion, becoming a rallying cry for broader societal equality and recognition of marginalized voices. The research concludes by positioning Haq’s “Ode on the Lungi” as a powerful articulation of the subaltern voice within the complexities of postcolonial discourse.
