A STUDY ON THE ABILITY OF THE SIXTH-SEMESTER STUDENTS OF THE ENGLISH STUDY PROGRAM AT FKIP UNIVERSITAS RIAU IN ANALYZING SHORT STORIES
No full textThis study aimed to investigate the ability of sixth-semester students of the English Study Program at FKIP Universitas Riau in analyzing the intrinsic elements of short stories. This research employed a descriptive quantitative method. The sample consisted of 37 students from one class (6A) , selected through cluster random sampling. The instrument used was a semi-essay test where students were asked to analyze the elements of one chosen short story from three options. The analysis focused on five intrinsic elements: setting, character, point of view, plot, and theme. The findings revealed that the students' overall ability was in the "average to good" category, with a total average score of 77.2. Students performed best in analyzing Point of View (average score 78.7) and Character (78.0). Conversely, students faced the most difficulty with the more abstract elements of Theme (76.1) and Plot (77.3). The study concludes that while students possess a solid ability to analyze concrete literary elements, there is a need for improvement in analyzing abstract components like plot and theme

Shaping Communicative Identity Through Group- Discovery Learning Model: Enhancing 21st Century Skills in Language Education
No full textThis study investigates the impact of the Group-Discovery Learning Model on students’ communicative identity and the development of essential 21st-century skills, including critical thinking, creativity, collaboration, and communication. This model is rooted in constructivist principles and encourages active learning through peer interaction, problem-solving tasks, and self-directed inquiry. Employing a quasi-experimental design, data were collected from 104 high school students across two schools in Padang who participated in either experimental or control classes. A validated performance-based assessment instrument was used to measure student outcomes across multiple dimensions of skill development. The results revealed significant improvements in 21st-century skills among students in the experimental group, with average post-treatment scores of 84.3 and 84.8, indicating a positive effect of the model. The normalized gain (N-Gain) scores showed medium effects (0.51 and 0.45), demonstrating measurable progress over four sessions. No significant interaction was found between the school category and the model's effectiveness, suggesting its potential adaptability across diverse educational settings. These findings support the Group-Discovery Learning Model as an effective approach for enhancing both cognitive and social competencies essential for modern learners. Despite these positive outcomes, challenges remain, particularly in developing higher-order critical thinking skills such as evaluating peer arguments and synthesizing complex ideas. This suggests that while the model fosters collaborative learning and engagement, additional scaffolding may be required to strengthen analytical reasoning. The study recommends integrating digital tools into the model to enrich collaborative learning experiences and reinforce students’ evolving communicative identities in contemporary language education
PENERAPAN TEKNIK DATA SCRAPING` UNTUK PENENTUAN KESESUAIAN LOKASI MINIMARKET BERDASARKAN ATURAN NIAGA DI JAWA BARAT
No full textIndonesian people are already familiar with retail MSMEs such as grocery stores/stalls/taverns. Currently, the choice of places to shop is increasingly diverse, including minimarkets. The results of research in Bogor City in 2022 show that 64% of minimarkets in Bogor City have a distance between minimarkets of less than 250 meters, which means they do not comply with commercial regulations in Bogor City. Other cities in West Java Province also have regulations regarding distance between minimarkets. Analysis of the distance between minimarkets can be carried out in a shorter time if data on the distribution of minimarkets has been obtained. Data on the distribution of hundreds of minimarkets can be mapped using data scraping techniques. The result is an excel file containing several pieces of information, including the minimarket address. Next, geocoding is carried out based on the address information. Then the distribution of minimarkets can be displayed via mapping software. The buffer method is used to analyze the distance between minimarkets according to the regulations applicable in a particular city. This research aims to produce a comparison of the suitability of minimarket locations based on the regulations that apply in the cities of West Java Province. The minimarkets referred to in this research are shops managed by business entities such as Alfamart, Alfamidi, Circle K, Indomaret, and Prima Freshmart. After going through the validation and distance analysis stages between minimarkets, the city of Bandung became the city with the highest number of minimarkets that did not comply with commercial regulations
