Tengku Abdani Murazanty Tengku — 2025-05-29

This study aims to determine the effect of self-regulated learning on academic procrastination in mathematics of public junior high school students in Pekanbaru City. This study is a quantitative study with a causal associative research type. The population in this study were all public junior high school students in Pekanbaru City, while the sample in this study amounted to 329 students consisting of 3 public junior high schools in Pekanbaru City, namely Junior High School 10 Pekanbaru, Junior High School 18 Pekanbaru, and Junior High School 33 Pekanbaru with a sampling technique of proportionate stratified random sampling. Data were collected using a questionnaire and analyzed using a simple linear regression analysis technique with the help of the IBM SPSS Statistics 26 program. The results showed a Sig. value of 0,000 (0,000 < 0,05) and t_count > t_table (–) (24,272 > 1,967) with a negative influence direction which means that the higher the self-regulated learning, the lower the academic procrastination and vice versa. Self-regulated learning has an R Square value of 0,643 which means that the contribution of self-regulated learning to academic procrastination is 64,3% and the remaining 35,7% is influenced by other factors. Thus it can be concluded that the effect of self-regulated learning on academic procrastination in mathematics of public junior high school students in Pekanbaru City.

English Day Program and Its Impact on Students' Speaking Proficiency A Socio-linguistic Exploration

Lilian Ramadani — 2025-05-29

This study explores the sociolinguistic dimensions of the English Day program and its impact on students' speaking proficiency at SMA Global Madani. By examining how language practices like English Day influence students' confidence, fluency, and language identity, this research highlights the importance of authentic communication environments in language learning. The study employed qualitative methods, including observations and interviews with 15 purposively selected students. The findings indicate that while the English Day program significantly improved students' speaking proficiency, it also presented sociolinguistic challenges such as anxiety and self-consciousness. Nonetheless, consistent exposure to English and supportive social environments helped foster students' confidence and communicative skills. This study emphasizes the importance of contextual and sociolinguistic factors in shaping effective language acquisition practices.

The Effect of Problem-Based Learning Model on Students' Mathematical Problem-Solving Ability SMP Negeri 2 Bandar Petalangan

Edwin Amanu Parindang — 2025-05-29

This study aims to determine the effect of the Problem-Based Learning model on the mathematical problem-solving ability. This study is a quantitative study with a quasi-experimental research type and a non-equivalent control group design. The population in this study was all students of class VIII of SMP Negeri 2 Bandar Petalangan, while the sample in this study amounted to 40 students, consisting of 2 classes, with a saturated sampling technique, meaning that all members of the population were used as samples. Data were collected using test sheets by conducting pretests and posttests, then analyzed using descriptive statistical analysis techniques and inferential statistical analysis with the SPSS program. The results showed that the Problem-Based Learning model had a significant effect on students' mathematical problem-solving abilities, with a Sig. value of 0,014 (0,014 <0,05). So it can be concluded that there is a significant influence of the Problem-Based Learning model on the Mathematical Problem-Solving Ability.

Curriculum of Love and Religious Moderation in Madrasah Learning: Strategy for Building a Generation with Humanistic and Tolerant Character

Aslinda Aslinda — 2025-05-29

This study aims to explore the implementation of the curriculum of love and religious moderation in madrasah learning and assess its impact on the learning climate and students’ character development. Using a descriptive qualitative approach and a case study method, the research was conducted at MTsN 2 Tanah Datar, involving teachers, school principals, and students as subjects. Data collection techniques included in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and document analysis of teaching tools. Data analysis followed the interactive model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña, employing techniques and source triangulation to ensure validity. A hermeneutic approach was applied to capture the deeper meaning of participants' experiences in implementing values of love and moderation. The findings indicate that this curriculum fosters a more harmonious classroom climate, increases student engagement, and cultivates discipline and responsibility. In conclusion, the curriculum of love and religious moderation proves effective in shaping a conducive learning environment and developing students’ humanistic and tolerant character. It is recommended for broader implementation in madrasahs, accompanied by teacher training and value-based curriculum evaluation to ensure sustainability and relevance.

Development of Mathematics Teaching Materials on Statistics with A Problem-Solving Approach

Indah Indar Wulan — 2025-05-29

This study aims to develop mathematics teaching materials on statistics material that is practical, effective, and valid, and suitable as a student learning module. The type of research used is Research and Development (R&D), which involves developing teaching materials in the form of modules on the subject of statistics. The model used in this teaching material research is the 4-D development model (four D models). This research model has four stages of research, namely 4-D development (four D Models), including define, design, develop, and disseminate. Based on this study, it was found that the Module with a problem-solving approach to statistics material developed by researchers with the 4D model modified into 3D was declared valid by material experts, and media experts with Very Good criteria, and based on the assessment of education experts, namely teachers and students. A module with a problem-solving approach to statistics material, developed by researchers, was declared practical. This means that the Module developed by researchers makes it easier for students to learn and can increase students' interest and motivation in learning mathematics, especially statistics material.

Too Early for Foreign Languages! A Critical Review of Young Children’s Internal Readiness for Language Learning

Lailatul Fitriyah — 2025-05-29

This study aims to explore the internal mechanisms, aptitude, intelligence, motivation, and cognitive style that influence second language (L2) acquisition among early childhood learners. Grounded in psycholinguistic and developmental perspectives, this research addresses the lack of contextualized strategies for foreign language instruction at the early childhood education (ECE) level in Indonesia. This qualitative study employed a library research design, using thematic analysis of selected scholarly works from 1959 to 2025. Sources were classified into three thematic clusters: (1) internal processing mechanisms (e.g., phonological memory, LAD function), (2) aptitude and intelligence (e.g., MLAT, linguistic universals), and (3) motivation and cognitive style (e.g., intrinsic-affective-social motivation, field-dependence). Data synthesis was conducted to classify key constructs and pedagogical implications. The results revealed that young learners acquire L2 more effectively through emotionally engaging, context-rich, and multisensory exposure rather than formal grammatical instruction. Children benefit from environments that support referential learning, phonological sensitivity, and social-linguistic modeling. Formal instruction was found to be less effective due to developmental mismatches. A classification model was constructed to visually present the findings. This study offers a comprehensive synthesis that bridges second language acquisition theories with early childhood development. It presents an original classification framework linking cognitive-affective variables with instructional strategies suitable for L2 exposure in early childhood. This research provides critical insights for curriculum developers, early childhood educators, and policymakers aiming to implement developmentally appropriate foreign language instruction. The findings support the need for translanguaging, play-based, and emotionally supportive environments for optimal early language acquisition.
