Linguistic Error Analysis (Syntax and Semantics) in the Writing Skills of Arabic Language Education Students at STIT Bustanul Ulum Lampung Tengah

Kholida Nur — 2026-08-20

Writing skills (mahārah al-kitābah) are among the productive skills in Arabic language learning that require mastery of vocabulary, grammar, sentence structure, and accurate meaning construction. In practice, Arabic Language Education students still encounter various difficulties in producing written texts that conform to Arabic linguistic rules. This study aims to analyze syntactic and semantic errors in students’ Arabic writing and to identify the factors underlying these errors. This study employed a descriptive qualitative approach using the error analysis method. The participants were 30 fourth-semester students of the Arabic Language Education Study Program at STIT Bustanul Ulum Lampung Tengah who were enrolled in the Insya’ II course. The data consisted of students’ Arabic compositions on the theme Al-Lughah al-‘Arabiyyah fī ‘Aṣr al-Thawrah al-Raqmiyyah and were collected through documentation, observation, and interviews with 10 students and the course lecturer. Data were analyzed through the stages of error identification, classification, description, and interpretation. Data validity was established through methodological triangulation and expert judgment. The findings revealed 142 linguistic errors, consisting of 88 syntactic errors (61.9%) and 54 semantic errors (38.1%). The syntactic errors mainly involved violations of na‘at-man‘ut and gender agreement, inaccurate application of i‘rāb, inappropriate use of ḥurūf al-jarr, and errors in iḍāfah constructions. Meanwhile, semantic errors included Indonesian language interference through literal translation, inaccurate word choice, and the use of expressions that were inappropriate to the context. The factors underlying these errors included interlingual transfer, intralingual transfer and overgeneralization, as well as limited exposure to authentic Arabic texts. These findings highlight the need for Arabic writing instruction that integrates error analysis, contextualized grammar instruction, and the enrichment of Arabic vocabulary and collocations to improve students’ syntactic and semantic accuracy.

A Case Study on Low Learning Motivation Among 10th-Grade Culinary Students at SMK Z Surabaya

Kurnia Sintia Dewi — 2026-09-06

This study aimed to examine the psychological dynamics underlying low learning motivation in a 16-year-old female student, identified by the initials VPM, who was enrolled in Grade 10 Culinary 2 at SMK Z Surabaya, and to evaluate the outcome of an individual counseling intervention. This study employed a qualitative case study approach. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews, classroom observation, psychological assessment, a learning motivation scale, and academic documentation. The psychological assessment included the Intelligence Structure Test (IST), Sixteen Personality Factors (16PF), Family Sentence Completion Test (FSCT), Draw-A-Person (DAP), Baum Test, and House-Tree-Person (HTP). The findings indicated that VPM’s low learning motivation was characterized by avoidance of difficult subjects, inconsistent learning effort, low persistence, distractibility, limited classroom participation, and unstructured independent study habits. Although her learning motivation scale score was classified as moderate, behavioral observations indicated that motivation was not consistently translated into academic engagement. VPM’s intellectual functioning was within the normal range, with relatively stronger memory and visuospatial abilities but comparatively lower verbal and numerical abilities. The case formulation indicated that low learning motivation resulted from the interaction of cognitive vulnerabilities, self-doubt, anxiety, unpleasant learning experiences, avoidance behaviors, and environmental factors. Individual counseling using a Cognitive Behavioral Counseling (CBC) approach and cognitive restructuring was implemented in five sessions. The intervention resulted in improvements across all assessed dimensions of learning motivation, with task choice increasing from 6 to 8, effort from 13 to 18, and persistence from 17 to 22. Behavioral improvements were also observed in study regularity, task completion, willingness to face difficult subjects, and development of a structured study plan. These findings suggest that cognitive restructuring-based individual counseling may be a useful approach for strengthening learning motivation and promoting more adaptive academic behaviors among vocational students.

Javanese Cultural Acculturation in the Kenduri Tradition: An Islamic Education Perspective at Purwosari Metro Utara

Ulil Hidayah — 2026-09-06

This study employed a descriptive qualitative approach using field research conducted in RT 005/RW 003, Purwosari Subdistrict, Metro Utara District, Metro City. Research participants were selected purposively and included religious leaders, community elders, and residents actively involved in kenduri activities. Data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation and were analyzed using an interactive model consisting of data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The findings indicate that the kenduri tradition embodies four major dimensions of Islamic educational values: faith (aqidah), worship (ibadah), social values, and morality (akhlak). These values are reflected in collective prayers and dhikr, Yasin recitation and tahlil, mutual cooperation (gotong royong), as well as attitudes of mutual respect and social concern. Thus, the kenduri tradition functions not merely as a cultural practice but also as a relevant and sustainable medium for Islamic education rooted in local wisdom. It provides a culturally contextualized approach to transmitting Islamic values while simultaneously strengthening social cohesion and religious character within the community.

The Effect of Joyful Learning on Students’ Perceptions of Mistakes: A Study of Second-Grade Students at SD Islam Assalam Bandar Lampung

Wartini Wartini — 2026-09-15

Mistakes are an inherent part of the learning process; however, many elementary school students still perceive mistakes as something that should be avoided. Such perceptions may discourage students from taking risks, asking questions, and expressing their opinions during classroom activities. This study aims to examine the effect of the Joyful Learning method on students’ perceptions of mistakes among second-grade students at SD Islam Assalam Bandar Lampung. A quantitative approach was employed using a quasi-experimental method with a Nonequivalent Control Group Design. The participants consisted of an experimental group that received instruction through the Joyful Learning method and a control group that received conventional instruction. Data were collected using a self-perception-of-mistakes questionnaire that had been tested for validity and reliability. Data analysis included normality and homogeneity tests, followed by an Independent Samples t-Test using SPSS. The findings are expected to provide insights into the effectiveness of the Joyful Learning method in fostering more positive perceptions of mistakes among students, thereby encouraging greater confidence, willingness to take risks, and active participation in the learning process.

Ratika Novianti — 2026-09-16

This study aims to analyze the strengthening of scientific literacy through environmental phenomenon-based science learning based on a literature review. This research uses a qualitative approach with a library research method. The research data were obtained from various national and international scientific articles, academic books, and educational policy documents relevant to scientific literacy and environment-based science learning. Data analysis was conducted using content analysis and thematic analysis techniques through the stages of source identification, theme grouping, interpretation, and synthesis compilation of study results. The research results indicate that environmental phenomenon-based science learning is able to strengthen students' scientific literacy through contextual, investigative, and problem-solving-oriented learning processes. The use of real phenomena such as environmental pollution, climate change, waste management, and ecosystem destruction provides opportunities for students to develop the ability to explain phenomena scientifically, evaluate evidence-based information, conduct investigations, and devise solutions to environmental problems. In addition to improving cognitive aspects, this approach also contributes to the development of critical thinking skills, science process skills, collaboration, and awareness of environmental sustainability. The implications of this study indicate that science teachers need to develop learning that utilizes the environment as a learning resource and integrates real-life phenomena into the learning process. Theoretically, this study strengthens the view that scientific literacy can be optimally developed through learning that connects science concepts with social and environmental contexts. Practically, the results of this research can serve as a reference for educators and curriculum developers in designing more meaningful, contextual science learning in accordance with the demands of 21st-century competencies.

This study aims to determine the effect of wall pass and push and run training methods on passing accuracy in football for the PS Banteng Olaya Team and to identify the difference in the effect of both training methods on improving players' passing accuracy. This study uses an experimental method with a pretest-posttest research design. The subjects in this study were players of the PS Banteng Olaya Team who participated in the research process. Data collection techniques were carried out through passing accuracy tests before and after being given treatment in the form of wall pass and push and run training. Data analysis was conducted using the t-test to determine the effect of each training method on passing accuracy as well as the percentage increase to compare the effectiveness of the two training methods. The results showed that the wall pass training method had a significant effect on passing accuracy. This is indicated by an increase in the average score from 7.2 in the pretest to 9.6 in the posttest, with an increase percentage of 33.33%. The t-test results obtained a t-count value of 21.81 which is greater than the t-table of 2.262. The push and run training method also affects passing accuracy, which is indicated by an increase in the average score from 7.8 in the pretest to 9.8 in the posttest, with an increase percentage of 25.64%. The t-test results obtained a t-count value of 10 which is greater than the t table of 2.262. Based on these results, it can be concluded that both training methods, namely wall pass and push and run, have an effect on improving the passing accuracy of the PS Banteng Olaya Team players. However, the wall pass training method provides a greater percentage increase compared to the push and run method, making the wall pass method more effective in improving passing accuracy in this study.

Evaluation of The Effectiveness of The Roller Skiing Achievement Development Program in Palu City

Atasya Nurul Syafira — 2026-09-20

This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the roller skating performance development program in Palu City, identify supporting and inhibiting factors, and formulate concrete strategies to improve the effectiveness of the development. The research approach used is descriptive qualitative with a saturated sampling technique on 7 key informants (1 administrator, 1 coach, and 5 athletes of the Palu Skating Club). Data were collected through in-depth observation, structured interviews, and documentation, then analyzed using the interactive model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña. This study found a Research Gap in the form of the absence of comprehensive evaluation research on the sport of roller skating in the post-disaster area of Central Sulawesi. The novelty of the study lies in the synthesis of the triangulation of the perspectives of the three main pillars (administrators, coaches, athletes) in identifying the 'achievement paradox'—namely the success of winning a silver medal at the 21st National Sports Week (PON) in Aceh-North Sumatra in 2024 amidst the absence of national standard venues/tracks and limited structured curriculum. The evaluation results show that the program is quite effective in terms of motivation, coach qualifications, and athlete participation, but is severely hampered by training infrastructure and independent funding. Optimization strategies are recommended through the development of a curriculum based on training periodization and collaborative infrastructure advocacy with local governments.

The Value of Character Education in the Culture of Greeting Students of the Faculty of Medicine, Universitas Muslim Indonesia

Nurhidayat Syukur — 2026-09-20

This study aims to determine the implementation of the culture of greeting students of the Faculty of Medicine, Universitas Muslim Indonesia. This study uses a qualitative approach with the type of case study research. Data was obtained through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation. The research informants consisted of students, lecturers, and leaders of the Faculty of Medicine, Universitas Muslim Indonesia. Data analysis was carried out through the stages of data condensation, data presentation, and conclusion and verification using the interactive model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldana. The validity of the data was strengthened through triangulation of sources, techniques, and time. The results of the study showed that the implementation of the culture of saying greetings has been systematically pursued through the process of habituation and reinforcement in academic life. This habituation is introduced through student adoption, strengthened through the example of lecturers and leaders, applied in the learning process and organizational activities, and supported by various reminder media. In some students, this habit has developed into behavior that is carried out spontaneously. Greetings are not only interpreted as an obligation, but also as a prayer, a form of politeness, respect, friendliness, a means of building closeness, and the opening of communication. However, the implementation of greeting culture has not been completely uniform, especially in interactions between peers. Some of the obstacles found include awkwardness, worries about not getting a response, lecturer busyness, students in a hurry, differences in awareness levels, and digital communication challenges. Thus, the culture of saying greetings at the Faculty of Medicine, Universitas Muslim Indoensia is not only a religious practice, but also a form of habituation of manners that contributes to the formation of students' character and supports their readiness as prospective doctors with the character and identity of Doctor Muhsin.

Development of a Table Tennis Learning Model for Children With Intellectual Disabilities

Fajar Shiddiq — 2026-09-20

This study was conducted based on the condition of table tennis learning at SLB Bhakti Putra Palu, which showed that students with intellectual disabilities (tunagrahita) still experience various difficulties in participating in table tennis lessons. These difficulties are caused by limitations in intellectual capacity, motor coordination, concentration, and the ability to understand instructions given by the teacher. These conditions result in students lacking selfconfidence, being less active, and showing little interest in table tennis learning. This study employed the Research and Development (R&D) method referring to the Borg and Gall development model, which includes the stages of identifying potentials and problems, information gathering, product design, expert validation, product revision, smallgroup trials, product revision, largegroup trials, final revision, and final product. Research data were obtained through observation, questionnaires, documentation, and expert validation, then analyzed using descriptive percentage analysis. The results showed that the developed learning model obtained a validation score of 75% from learning experts and 83.33% from table tennis experts, both falling into the "Feasible to Use" category. In the smallgroup trial, a percentage of 89.28% was obtained, while in the largegroup trial, it increased to 94.40%, indicating that the learning model is highly feasible for use in table tennis learning for children with intellectual disabilities. Based on these research results, it can be concluded that the table tennis learning model utilizing equipment modifications such as lighter paddles, lighter balls, adjusted table sizes, and progressive exercises like shadow strokes—is effective in helping students with intellectual disabilities learn basic table tennis techniques, improving motor coordination, selfconfidence, and participation in the learning process. Thus, the resulting product is expected to serve as a reference for physical education teachers in developing table tennis learning that is more effective, adaptive, and tailored to the needs of students with special needs, particularly those with intellectual disabilities
