The Use of Dyadic Essay Technique to Increase Speaking Skills in Senior High School Surakarta
No full textThe research investigates the implementation of Dyadic Essay Technique (DET) as an instructional strategy to improve speaking skills among senior high students in Surakarta. While DET is primarily used to improve writing skills, this study explores its adaption for speaking activities through collaborative questions generation and peer discussions. A Classroom Action Research (CAR) design was used involving 30 of the eleventh-grade students in one private senior high school in Surakarta. Data collection method was observation, oral performance assessments, student’s journal, and interviews. The findings reveal that Dyadic Essay Technique fosters better engagement, confidence, and speaking fluency by promoting meaningful dialogue and peer feedback. Moreover, students reported increased motivation and engagement due to the interactive and peer-supported nature of the technique. The researcher suggests that incorporating DET into speaking instruction can effectively support language development in communicative contexts. Further researchers may also consider using DET in improving another English language skill like reading and writing prior to see its broader applicability
Peningkatan Kemampuan Berpikir Kritis dan Self Efficacy Peserta Didik Melalui Model Problem Based Learning Berbantuan Scratch Pada Materi Gerak Parabola

PROKRASTINASI AKADEMIK DAN PEMBELAJARAN IPS PADA JENJANG SMP
No full textAcademic procrastination is a psychological phenomenon that frequently occurs in educational settings, including Social Studies learning at the junior high school level. This study aims to analyze the relationship between academic procrastination and Social Studies learning, as well as the factors influencing students' tendency to delay academic tasks. The research employs a literature review method with a thematic synthesis approach, examining previous studies on academic procrastination, Social Studies education, and effective learning strategies. The findings indicate that internal factors such as low motivation, poor self-regulation skills, and academic anxiety significantly contribute to procrastination. Additionally, external factors such as non-interactive teaching methods, lack of environmental support, and mismatches between learning strategies and students' learning styles also exacerbate procrastination levels. The implications of this study highlight the need for more innovative and interactive learning strategies, such as discussion-based approaches, case studies, problem-based projects, and the integration of technology to enhance student engagement and reduce procrastination tendencies.Prokrastinasi akademik merupakan fenomena psikologis yang sering terjadi di lingkungan pendidikan, termasuk pembelajaran Ilmu Pengetahuan Sosial (IPS) di tingkat Sekolah Menengah Pertama (SMP). Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis hubungan antara prokrastinasi akademik dengan pembelajaran IPS, serta faktor-faktor yang mempengaruhi kecenderungan siswa dalam menunda tugas-tugas akademik. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode tinjauan literatur dengan pendekatan sintesis tematik, dengan mengkaji penelitian-penelitian terdahulu mengenai prokrastinasi akademik, pendidikan Ilmu Pengetahuan Sosial, dan strategi pembelajaran yang efektif. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa faktor internal seperti motivasi yang rendah, kemampuan pengaturan diri yang buruk, dan kecemasan akademik berkontribusi secara signifikan terhadap penundaan. Selain itu, faktor eksternal seperti metode pengajaran yang tidak interaktif, kurangnya dukungan lingkungan, dan ketidaksesuaian antara strategi pembelajaran dengan gaya belajar siswa juga memperburuk tingkat penundaan. Implikasi dari penelitian ini menyoroti perlunya strategi pembelajaran yang lebih inovatif dan interaktif, seperti pendekatan berbasis diskusi, studi kasus, proyek berbasis masalah, dan integrasi teknologi untuk meningkatkan keterlibatan siswa dan mengurangi kecenderungan menunda-nunda
