Boosting students’ self-directed english learning through social media engagement

Ade Ismail Ramadhan Hamid — 2026-07-02

This study investigates how social media platforms can be leveraged to enhance self-directed English language learning among Muhammadiyah students. Utilizing a quantitative approach, data were collected from 72 students via a structured questionnaire measuring both social media use for English learning and self-directed learning (SDL) behaviors. Descriptive statistics revealed high engagement with social media for English learning (mean = 4.07) and robust self-directed learning tendencies (mean = 3.77), with no significant gender differences. Correlation analysis demonstrated a strong, statistically significant positive relationship between social media use and SDL (Pearson r = 0.793, p < 0.001). These findings suggest that social media is not only widely used and effective for English language learning but also a powerful enabler of self-directed learning in this context. The study highlights the potential of social media to bridge gaps in English education in geographically isolated regions and provides actionable insights for educators and policymakers seeking to foster autonomous, motivated language learners in Muhammadiyah institutions

Jumiati Jumiati — 2026-07-11

This study aims to analyze teachers' perceptions and identify challenges faced in integrating Islamic values (Islamic Integration) into Natural and Social Sciences (IPAS) learning at MI Plus Al Falah Banjarmasin. The integration of Islamic values in IPAS learning is a crucial issue in the implementation of the Independent Curriculum because it is not only oriented towards mastery of knowledge, but also towards character building and spiritual strengthening of students. This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach with data collection techniques in the form of interviews, open-ended surveys, and literature studies. Research informants were selected through purposive sampling, namely teachers involved in IPAS learning and the implementation of the Independent Curriculum and the school principal. Data analysis was carried out through the stages of data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The results of the study indicate that teachers have a very positive perception of the implementation of Islamic Integration in science and science learning. Teachers believe that the integration of Islamic values can improve students' understanding of the relationship between science and Islamic teachings, while strengthening their religious character. The implementation of integration is carried out by linking science and science material with relevant verses of the Quran and hadith, especially on material related to living things and natural phenomena. However, the study also found several major challenges, namely teachers' limited knowledge of the concept of science and Islam integration, difficulty in finding appropriate evidence for science and science material, and the unavailability of teaching modules and learning tools based on Islamic Integration. On the other hand, the support of madrasah principals and the flexibility of the Independent Curriculum are supporting factors that strengthen the implementation of this integration. This study concludes that the successful implementation of Islamic Integration in science and education learning is influenced not only by positive teacher perceptions, but also by the availability of learning tools, professional training, and ongoing institutional support. Therefore, programs to strengthen teacher competency, develop integrated teaching modules, and develop more systematic madrasah policies to support Islamic values-based science and education learning are needed.

The integration of Ki Hajar Dewantara's character education values into islamic education within the merdeka curriculum

Nanang Romadi — 2026-07-24

Research on integrating Ki Hajar Dewantara’s character education values with Islamic education in the implementation of the Merdeka Curriculum remains limited. Character education is one of the primary focuses in the implementation of the Merdeka Curriculum as an effort to develop learners who are not only academically competent but also possess strong character aligned with the values of Pancasila. In this context, the educational philosophy of Ki Hajar Dewantara remains highly relevant, as it places character formation as the central objective of education. Likewise, Islamic education emphasizes the development of noble character (akhlaq) through the internalization of religious values in students’ daily lives. This study aims to analyze the integration of Ki Hajar Dewantara’s character education values into Islamic education within the Merdeka Curriculum and to identify their contribution to strengthening the Pancasila Student Profile. The study employed a qualitative approach using library research as its research design. Data were collected from various books, scholarly journal articles, policy documents, and relevant studies concerning character education, Islamic education, Ki Hajar Dewantara’s educational thought, and the Merdeka Curriculum. Data were analyzed using thematic analysis through the processes of identification, classification, interpretation, and synthesis of relevant literature. The findings indicate that Ki Hajar Dewantara’s character education values, including exemplary conduct, independence, mutual cooperation, wisdom, creativity, and respect for others, are strongly aligned with the values of Islamic education as well as the dimensions of the Pancasila Student Profile. The integration of these values can be implemented through classroom instruction, habituation practices, teacher role modeling, school culture, and collaboration among families, schools, and communities. The findings also reveal that integrating Ki Hajar Dewantara’s character education values into Islamic education can strengthen the implementation of the Merdeka Curriculum in fostering students who are faithful, morally upright, independent, creative, critical thinkers, and capable of living harmoniously in a diverse society. Therefore, the integration of Ki Hajar Dewantara’s character education values and Islamic education may serve as a relevant conceptual model for strengthening students’ character development in the contemporary educational era.

Semantic shift of crisis neologisms in digital media: a sociolinguistic study

Mella Narolita — 2026-07-23

This study provides a sociolinguistic analysis of how crisis neologisms reconfigure their meanings in response to structural societal stress. Utilizing a descriptive qualitative method and Geoffrey Leech’s framework of seven types of meaning, this research investigates five prominent terms: burnout, quiet quitting, job hugging, hustle culture, and underconsumption. By analyzing linguistic data extracted from the News on the Web (NOW) Corpus, this study offers empirical evidence of significant semantic migration across the entire sample set. The findings reveal that these neologisms do not remain static; rather, they shift beyond their original conceptual definitions into affective, collocative, and connotative realms to reflect modern pressures such as labor instability, mental health crises, and changing consumption patterns. This research contributes a novel framework for digital lexicography, offering practical applications for media analysts and communication experts to better identify, decode, and interpret the linguistic indicators of emergent societal tensions.
