Pengembangan Model Pembelajaran Cerita Wayang Berbasis Permainan
This study aims to develop a learning model for wayang stories based on card games and wayang puzzles that is feasible, practical, and effective for implementation at the junior high school level. The background of this research is based on the condition that wayang story learning is still predominantly conventional, teacher-centered, and lacks student engagement. In addition, previous studies have mostly focused on developing instructional media without being supported by a systematic learning model framework, which has resulted in less effective learning outcomes. This research employs the Research and Development (R&D) method using the 3D development model, which consists of the define, design, and develop stages. The research procedures include needs analysis, learning model design, product development in the form of wayang card games and puzzles, and expert validation involving subject matter experts and instructional design experts. The research subjects consist of junior high school students who study wayang story materials. Data collection techniques involve questionnaire surveys to assess the feasibility and effectiveness of the developed learning model. The results indicate that the game-based wayang story learning model developed in this study is suitable and appropriate for classroom implementation. The model demonstrates unique characteristics by actively engaging both teachers and students, enhancing interaction, and creating an enjoyable learning environment. Therefore, this learning model is expected to serve as an innovative alternative for improving the teaching and learning of wayang stories at the junior high school level.

Perceptions of Teachers Using AI-Based Tools in English Language Teaching at Elementary Schools
This qualitative case study investigates elementary school English teachers’ perceptions of and challenges in integrating Artificial Intelligence (AI)-based tools into English language teaching. Although the rapid development of AI technologies offers new opportunities for enhancing language learning, limited research has focused on how elementary school teachers perceive and experience the use of these tools in classroom practice. Therefore, this study aims to explore teachers’ attitudes toward AI-based tools and to identify the challenges they encounter during implementation. Data were collected from six elementary school English teachers through semi-structured interviews, classroom observations, and document analysis. The data were analyzed using thematic analysis to identify recurring patterns and key themes related to AI integration in English language teaching. The findings indicate that teachers generally perceive AI-based tools as beneficial for increasing student engagement, supporting individualized learning, and improving teaching efficiency. AI tools such as ChatGPT, Google Translate, Canva, and Quizizz were commonly used to assist lesson planning, material development, and interactive learning activities. However, several challenges were also identified, including limited technological infrastructure, insufficient teacher training, students’ over-reliance on AI tools, and concerns related to data privacy and content accuracy. In conclusion, the study highlights that the effective integration of AI in elementary English language teaching requires not only access to technology but also continuous professional development and institutional support. The findings provide practical implications for teachers, school administrators, and policymakers in developing balanced and responsible strategies for AI adoption in primary English language education.

Thai EFL Students' Responses to Teacher's Scaffolding Using Bamboozle in English Speaking Activities: A Case Study
This study explores Thai EFL students' responses to teacher scaffolding implemented through Bamboozle-based speaking activities. Speaking remains one of the most challenging skills for EFL learners in Thailand due to limited exposure to English, high speaking anxiety, and teacher-centered instructional practices. To address these issues, teachers increasingly integrate gamified platforms with instructional scaffolding to support students' oral participation. This research employed a mixed-method case study design involving 22 Grade 8 students at a junior high school in Satun, Thailand. Data were collected through classroom observations, semi-structured interviews, questionnaires, and documentation. The findings reveal that teacher scaffolding during Bamboozle activities elicited positive linguistic, cognitive, and affective student responses. Linguistically, students demonstrated increased verbal participation, modified output, and self-repair. Cognitively, scaffolding helped students understand task demands and generate ideas more effectively. Affectively, students showed increased confidence, reduced anxiety, and greater willingness to communicate in English. The integration of instructional scaffolding with gamified speaking activities created a supportive learning environment that encouraged active participation and meaningful oral interaction. These findings provide practical implications for EFL teachers, suggesting that combining scaffolding strategies with game-based platforms such as Bamboozle can be an effective pedagogical approach to enhance students' speaking engagement and performance in secondary school contexts.

Students Perception of Project-Based Vlogging Through Descriptive Text in Developing Speaking Skill in Thai Secondary School
This study explores Thai secondary school students’ perceptions of project-based vlogging through descriptive text in developing English speaking skills. Speaking is widely regarded as one of the most challenging skills for English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learners due to affective factors such as anxiety, limited exposure to English, and low confidence in oral communication. To address these challenges, this study integrates project-based learning with digital vlogging activities supported by descriptive text as a planning scaffold for speaking. The study employs a mixed-method case study design with a qualitative-dominant orientation involving 25 Grade 11 students at a Thai secondary school. Data are collected through classroom observation, semi-structured interviews, documentation, and a Likert-scale questionnaire. Students’ perceptions are examined across four dimensions: selective perception, subjective evaluation, external social factors, and responses and intentions. Qualitative data are analyzed thematically to capture students’ experiences and interpretations, while quantitative data are analyzed descriptively to identify general perceptual trends. The findings are expected to provide insights into how students experience, evaluate, and respond to project-based vlogging activities through descriptive text as part of EFL speaking instruction. This study contributes to a deeper understanding of learners’ subjective experiences and social influences in technology-integrated speaking activities within secondary school EFL contexts.

Thai Students’ Experiences of Learning English With a Non-Thai Teacher: a Phenomenological Study
This study looks into Thai students’ experiences of learning English with non-Thai teachers in primary and secondary schools in Thailand. Using a qualitative phenomenological research design, the study seeks to understand how students perceive, feel, and interpret their English learning experiences in communication-focused classrooms led by non-Thai teachers. The primary data source consisted of five interview participants aged 9-17, while a preliminary questionnaire administered to 21 students was used solely for contextual and screening. Data were gathered through semi-structured interviews conducted in English, each lasting around ten minutes. This was supported by a preliminary questionnaire given to a larger group of students for additional context. The researchers analyzed the data manually, following the steps set by Moustakas, which include bracketing, horizonalization, thematic clustering, and essence synthesis, while also drawing on van Manen’s interpretations. The findings highlight key themes regarding students’ emotional experiences, including enjoyment, excitement, fear of making mistakes, and shyness during speaking activities. While students typically reported feeling more motivated and comfortable when learning with non-Thai teachers, they also faced significant challenges, like anxiety and fear of judgment from their peers in speaking-centered classrooms This study adds to the limited research on primary and secondary EFL learners’ experiences with non-Thai teachers in Thailand and emphasizes the significance of emotional factors in English language teaching settings.

Pragmatism in Learning Negotiation Texts: A Philosophical Analysis of Indonesian Language Teaching Modules for TJKT Vocational High School Students
The teaching of negotiation texts in Indonesian language learning at Vocational High Schools plays a crucial role in developing students’ communicative competence for the workplace; however, classroom practices tend to remain academically oriented and emphasize textual structure rather than functional and contextual language use. This study aims to analyze the Indonesian language negotiation text teaching module for Grade X students of the Computer and Telecommunications Network Engineering program from a pragmatist perspective, particularly in relation to principles of experiential learning, action-based learning, and problem-solving. This research employed a qualitative descriptive approach, with data collected through document analysis of the teaching module, interviews with Indonesian language teachers, and classroom observations of module implementation. The analysis focused on four main components of the module: learning objectives, learning materials, learning activities, and learning assessment. The findings indicate that the negotiation text module has not consistently reflected pragmatist principles. The learning objectives remain oriented toward normative academic achievement, the learning materials are general and insufficiently contextualized to the workplace environment, learning activities are dominated by writing tasks with limited opportunities for authentic communicative action, and assessment practices primarily focus on written products rather than the negotiation process and communicative strategies. These results suggest that negotiation text learning risks losing its meaningfulness for vocational students, highlighting the need for the development of teaching modules that are more contextual, functional, and aligned with real-world vocational communication demands.

Analisis Menurunnya Apresiasi Generasi Z Terhadap Kesenian Wayang di Desa Mangunsari Sebagai Sumber Pembelajaran IPS
Wayang art is one of the local cultural heritages that embodies noble values and has the potential to serve as a learning resource in Social Studies education. As a traditional performing art, wayang does not only function as entertainment but also conveys moral messages, social norms, and philosophical teachings that reflect the cultural identity of Indonesian society. However, amid the currents of globalization, appreciation for wayang art has tended to decline, particularly among generation Z. This study aims to analyze the factors contributing to the decreasing appreciation of generation Z toward wayang art in Mangunsari Village and to examine its relevance to Social Studies learning. This research employs a descriptive qualitative method, with data collected through observation, interviews, and documentation involving generation Z, community leaders, and wayang art enthusiasts. The findings indicate that the decline in generation Z appreciation is influenced by several factors, including differences in entertainment preferences, the lack of encouragement or invitation from the surrounding environment to watch wayang performances, and the limited relevance of wayang stories to the lifestyles of today’s youth. These conditions lead many young people to prefer modern digital entertainment rather than traditional cultural performances. Nevertheless, wayang art remains relevant to Social Studies learning competencies because it contains social, cultural, moral, and religious values that can support character education and cultural awarness. Therefore, wayang art can be integrated into Social Studies learning as an effort to preserve local culture while strengthening students understanding of social and cultural values in society.

Systematic Literature Review: Transformasi Model Pembelajaran IPS SD Berorientasi SDGs untuk Menumbuhkan Kemampuan Berpikir Kritis di Era Global
Perkembangan globalisasi abad ke-21 menuntut dunia pendidikan untuk tidak hanya berfokus pada penguasaan pengetahuan, tetapi juga pada pengembangan kemampuan berpikir kritis sebagai bagian dari keterampilan berpikir tingkat tinggi. Namun, kemampuan berpikir kritis siswa sekolah dasar di Indonesia masih tergolong rendah akibat dominasi pembelajaran yang berpusat pada guru dan kurangnya variasi model pembelajaran. Selain itu, integrasi nilai-nilai Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) dalam pembelajaran IPS juga belum optimal, sehingga pembelajaran belum sepenuhnya kontekstual dan relevan dengan kehidupan nyata siswa. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji secara sistematis kondisi kemampuan berpikir kritis siswa, mengidentifikasi model pembelajaran IPS yang efektif, serta menganalisis integrasi SDGs dalam pembelajaran. Metode yang digunakan adalah pendekatan kualitatif melalui studi kepustakaan dengan teknik analisis isi terhadap berbagai sumber literatur dari jurnal terakreditasi. Hasil kajian menunjukkan bahwa penerapan model pembelajaran inovatif seperti Problem Based Learning, Project Based Learning, dan Inquiry Learning yang diintegrasikan dengan nilai-nilai SDGs efektif dalam meningkatkan kemampuan berpikir kritis siswa, menciptakan pembelajaran yang lebih kontekstual, serta menumbuhkan kesadaran global dan kepedulian sosial. Dengan demikian, transformasi pembelajaran IPS berbasis SDGs menjadi langkah strategis dalam meningkatkan kualitas pendidikan dasar di era global.

Sketchup E-Module as an Innovative Competency-Based Learning Media in the Building Engineering Education Study Program
This study aims to develop a SketchUp E-Module as an innovative competency-based learning medium for the Planning Drawing course in the Building Engineering Education Study Program at Universitas Negeri Padang. This research is motivated by the absence of structured module-based teaching materials, as well as learning processes that are still dominated by demonstration methods, videos, and PowerPoint. The research method used is Research and Development (R&D) with the DDD-E development model, which includes the stages of Decide, Design, Develop, and Evaluate. The research subjects consisted of lecturers and students from the Building Engineering Education Study Program. The instruments used were validation questionnaires by material experts and media experts, as well as practicality questionnaires completed by students. Data analysis techniques employed Aiken’s V formula for validity and percentage analysis for practicality. The results of the study indicate that the developed E-Module has a high level of validity, with media expert validation reaching 91.5% (very feasible) and material expert validation reaching 80% (feasible). In addition, the practicality test results from students showed an average score of 96.67%, categorized as very practical. This demonstrates that the developed SketchUp E-Module is easy to use, engaging, and effective in helping students understand the material and improve their 3D building design skills. Thus, it can be concluded that the competency-based SketchUp E-Module developed in this study is both feasible and highly practical to be used as an innovative learning medium in the Planning Drawing course.

Penerapan Teknik Problem Based Learning dalam Bimbingan Kelompok Terhadap Regulasi Emosi Siswa SMA
Kemampuan mengendalikan emosi merupakan kompetensi yang dihargai pada masa remaja yang seharusnya dimiliki seorang anak untuk menghadapi konteks pendidikan dan sosial yang sulit. Pengendalian emosi siswa SMA dapat menyebabkan sejumlah masalah psikologis, berkurangnya interaksi sosial adaptif, dan terganggunya interaksi pembelajaran. Penelitian ini akan dilakukan untuk menetapkan tingkat keberhasilan penggunaan teknik pembelajaran berbasis masalah (PBL) dalam layanan bimbingan kelompok dengan tujuan meningkatkan keterampilan regulasi emosi pada siswa SMA. Metodologi penelitian kuantitatif dirumuskan pada penelitian pra-eksperimental yang terdiri dari satu kelompok pretest-posttest. Responden adalah delapan siswa SMAN 3 Sidoarjo kelas XI-F2/XI-F12 yang dipilih menggunakan metode purposive sampling. Instrumen penelitian berupa kuesioner regulasi emosi yang validitas dan reliabilitasnya telah ditentukan sebelumnya. Uji t sampel berpasangan digunakan sebagai analisis data. Menurut hasil penelitian, skor regulasi emosi siswa yang telah diberikan layanan bimbingan kelompok berbasis masalah meningkat secara signifikan. Nilai rata-rata pretest 33,4 meningkat menjadi posttest 67,375 dengan nilai signifikansi p = 0,05. Temuan menunjukkan bahwa layanan instruksi kelompok berbasis metode pembelajaran berbasis masalah dapat diterapkan secara sukses untuk meningkatkan keterampilan pengaturan emosi siswa, terutama penerimaan emosi, pengendalian respons emosi, dan penerapan strategi pengaturan emosi. Oleh karena itu, pembelajaran berbasis masalah selama bimbingan kelompok dapat menjadi intervensi alternatif yang bermanfaat untuk membantu kelompok siswa sekolah menengah dalam perkembangan sosial-emosional mereka.

Supervisi yang Mensejahterakan: Strategi Kepala Sekolah dalam Mengintegrasikan Dimensi Well-Being dalam Supervisi Akademik untuk Meningkatkan Kompetensi dan Kepuasan Kerja Guru
Supervisi akademik yang selama ini cenderung bersifat administratif dan hierarkis kurang optimal dalam meningkatkan kompetensi guru serta berkontribusi terhadap stres kerja dan rendahnya kepuasan kerja. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengusulkan strategi kepala sekolah dalam mengintegrasikan dimensi well being ke dalam supervisi akademik serta mengembangkan model konseptual supervisi yang mensejahterakan untuk meningkatkan kompetensi dan kepuasan kerja guru. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan library research dengan menganalisis secara tematik literatur ilmiah berupa artikel jurnal terindeks SINTA 2, 3 dan Scopus Q1 Q4, buku teks, serta dokumen kebijakan periode 2015 2025. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa strategi integrasi well being dalam supervisi akademik mencakup lima komponen utama: (1) perencanaan partisipatif berbasis identifikasi kebutuhan profesional dan psikologis guru, (2) pelaksanaan supervisi melalui pendekatan coaching, observasi non judgmental, dan dialog reflektif, (3) komunikasi empatik serta umpan balik konstruktif untuk membangun kepercayaan, (4) tindak lanjut berkelanjutan melalui komunitas praktik dan pendampingan kolaboratif, serta (5) integrasi simultan dimensi psikologis, sosial, profesional, dan spiritual. Supervisi yang mensejahterakan terbukti berdampak positif terhadap peningkatan kompetensi pedagogik, profesional, sosial, dan personal guru, peningkatan kepuasan kerja, motivasi, dan komitmen, serta penurunan stres dan burnout. Model konseptual yang dikembangkan dengan kerangka Input Proses Output Outcome menegaskan bahwa supervisi harus berfungsi sebagai sistem pendukung (support system) bukan sistem kontrol. Kesimpulannya, supervisi yang mensejahterakan merupakan paradigma baru yang humanis dan memberdayakan serta menjadi keniscayaan dalam mewujudkan pendidikan bermutu.
