Abstract

This study investigates the implementation of Liveworksheets as a digital learning medium in the Natural and Social Sciences (IPAS) subject for third-grade students at Elementary School, focusing on both literacy and critical thinking skills. Using a qualitative descriptive design, the participants consisted of the school principal, two classroom teachers, and 25 students. Data were collected through classroom observations, semi-structured interviews, and documentation. The findings reveal that Liveworksheets significantly enhanced students’ literacy and motivation; 76% of students showed higher engagement and improved ability to interpret texts and images. Indicators of critical thinking also emerged, such as rechecking answers, comparing information, and discussing with peers before asking for help. Teachers reported that Liveworksheets supported the delivery of diverse tasks and instant feedback, though challenges remained, including limited device availability, unstable internet, and students’ difficulty with lengthy analytical questions. These findings suggest that while Liveworksheets can serve as an innovative learning tool, successful implementation requires adequate infrastructure, teacher training, and adaptation of tasks to students’ developmental levels. The study recommends that educators integrate Liveworksheets with traditional approaches to strengthen both literacy and higher-order thinking from the early grades.

This study employed a research and development (R&D) design using the Borg and Gall model consists of: research and information gathering, planning, initial product development, initial field testing, product revision, main field testing, main product revision, operational field testing, final product revision, and dissemination and implementation. The product development process included expert validation (media, culture, and language), practicality testing by students, and effectiveness testing using a one-group pre-test and post-test design. The results showed that the product improved substantially after expert revisions, with validation scores increasing from below 60% to above 87%. The practicality test involving 25 students yielded an average practicality score of 82%, categorized as “good.” Effectiveness testing revealed a statistically significant improvement in students' learning independence, with a mean difference of 22.7 points (t = 9.85, p = 0.000) between pre-test and post-test scores.

Abstract

This research is motivated by the low learning motivation of students in the learning process which is still dominated by conventional methods, making students quickly bored, less enthusiastic, and less active. To overcome this problem, innovative, interesting learning media are needed, and are able to increase student motivation. This study aims to determine the differences in learning motivation of fourth-grade students of State Elementary School 1 Arjawinangun using digital gamification-based learning media Blooket and question card media. This study uses a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental design of the Nonequivalent Control Group Design type, involving 70 fourth-grade students (35 per group). Data were collected through questionnaires, observations, and documentation, where student learning motivation was measured using a validated 24-item Likert scale questionnaire. Data analysis was carried out by testing validity, reliability, normality, homogeneity, t-test, and N-Gain test using SPSS version 27. The results showed that there were significant differences between the experimental group using Blooket media and the control group using conventional question card media. The t-test results showed a significant difference (p < 0.001, t = 3.793), where the experimental class with Blooket media obtained a higher increase in learning motivation compared to the control class. Thus, it can be concluded that the use of digital gamification-based learning media, especially Blooket, is more effective than question card media in increasing the learning motivation of fourth-grade students at State Elementary School 1 Arjawinangun. This finding provides practical implications that educators should prioritize the use of digital gamification learning tools as a strategy to increase student learning motivation, especially in the context of social studies learning in elementary schools.

Abstract

This study scrutinizes the quality of translation for students who use translation assistance. A new text translated by students is then studied to see how successful students are at translating the text. First, the quality of the translation was analyzed using a scoring rubric in the form of the first, which deals with the perception of the source text message related to the accuracy of the translation, including the translation which has an inaccurate effect on understanding the source text and classified into eight categories: faux sens, nonsense, additions, omissions, unresolved extralinguistic references, loss of meaning, inappropriate linguistic variations (registers, styles, dialects). Second, nonconforming renderings that affect target language (TL) expressions are divided into five categories: spelling, grammar, lexical items, text, and style. Finally, preliminary presentation affects the delivery of the source text's primary or secondary function. The research uses content analysis design and descriptive qualitative methods as the umbrella. The study's results found that there were few grammatical omissions because the target language had absorption from the source language. In table 1, the translator does not make mistakes regarding style and text because, in principle, the language in the news is the standard language. Linguistic problems include grammatical differences, lexical ambiguity, and meaning ambiguity. At the same time, cultural issues refer to different situational features. This classification coincides with, for example, regional languages such as Sundanese, Malay, or Arabic

Abstract

Advertising serves as a communication medium through which brands promote their products and construct persuasive messages for consumers. Baby product advertisements, such as those for Mamypoko Pants diapers, not only promote but also create myths that shape parents’ perceptions. This study aims to analyze the myths represented in Mamypoko Pants baby diaper advertisements using Roland Barthes’ semiotic theory. The research employed a descriptive qualitative method, with the main data source takenfrom the official Mamypoko Pants YouTube channel. Verbal and nonverbal elements in the advertisements were examined to identify meanings at both denotative and connotative levels, leading to the discovery of underlying myths. The first level (denotative meaning) reveals the product’s identity and the advantages emphasized in the advertisements. Meanwhile, the second level (mythic meaning) shows how culturalvalues are embedded within the ads. The study found that the myths constructed in theMamypoko Pants advertisements include comfort, freedom, excellence, and happiness, all of which work together to persuade consumers. This study contributes to the understanding of how semiotic analysis can uncover socio-cultural meanings in contemporary advertising, particularly within Indonesia’s consumer culture.
