    Authors: Juanda, Ridwin Purba, Muhammad Wahyu Setiyadi, Daniel Frengki Kamengko, Herman, Kasih Lestari Zega, Rakhmat Wahyudin Sagala, Nanda Saputra

    DOI: 10.5430/jct.v14n2p195

    Abstract

    This study investigates the correlation between teachers’ word choices and student learning outcomes in an English as a Foreign Language (EFL) classroom. This study highlights the importance of teacher word choice in language acquisition, noting the gap between theoretical understanding and practical application. The study employs qualitative research methods, including classroom observations, interviews with teachers and students, and data analysis techniques, to explore the impact of teacher word choice on student comprehension. The findings revealed that teachers’ word choices can significantly affect classroom interaction and student understanding. Inappropriate word choices, such as the use of overly complex vocabulary or unclear explanations, can lead to misunderstandings and hinder student learning. Conversely, the use of simple, clear, and contextually relevant languages can facilitate students’ comprehension and improve learning outcomes. The study concludes by emphasizing the importance of teacher training in effective language use and selection of appropriate vocabulary to enhance student learning in EFL classrooms. These findings underscore the critical role of teachers’ language awareness in creating an effective learning environment. Teachers should be encouraged to reflect on their word choices and adapt their language to match their proficiency levels and learning needs. Incorporating explicit vocabulary instruction and providing opportunities for students to engage with new words in meaningful contexts can enhance their overall language acquisition and academic performance. © 2025 Sciedu Press.

    Authors: Mia Nurkanti, Maesaroh Lubis, Cartono, Atok Miftachul Hudha, Ahmad Adnan Mohd Shukri, Yasundari

    DOI: 10.22521/edupij.2025.18.463

    Abstract

    Background/purpose. Higher-Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) development represents a critical challenge in biology higher education. While Project-Based Learning (PjBL) shows promise, empirical evidence remains fragmented across individual studies. This meta-analysis systematically synthesized evidence on PjBL effectiveness in developing HOTS among biology students and explored moderating factors influencing outcomes. Materials/methods. A comprehensive literature search across five databases following PRISMA guidelines yielded 2,847 records. Rigorous screening identified 42 high-quality experimental studies encompassing 5,247 undergraduate biology students across 18 countries. Meta-analytic procedures included standardized mean differences calculation, heterogeneity assessment, moderator analyses, and publication bias evaluation. Results. Meta-analytic synthesis revealed a large overall effect size (d = 0.847, 95% CI: 0.692-1.002, p < 0.001) favoring PjBL interventions over traditional instruction methods. Domain-specific analyses demonstrated consistently large effects across cognitive (d = 0.923), psychomotor (d = 0.862), and affective (d = 0.756) dimensions of HOTS development. Moderate heterogeneity (I2 = 68.4%) reflected meaningful variation in implementation approaches while maintaining coherence sufficient for pooled estimation. Sensitivity analyses confirmed robustness of findings across different study characteristics, with no evidence of significant publication bias detected through funnel plot analysis and statistical testing. Conclusion. This meta-analysis provides compelling evidence that Project-Based Learning represents a highly effective pedagogical intervention for developing Higher-Order Thinking Skills in biology higher education contexts. The large, consistent, and robust effects observed across multiple domains and diverse implementation contexts support widespread adoption of well-designed PjBL interventions as a transformative strategy for preparing biology students to meet contemporary scientific challenges and collaborative problem-solving requirements. © The Author(s), 2025.

  • Sexual Grooming of Children Mode through Live Streaming: Legal Gaps in the Face of Anonymity of Online Transactions

    Sexual Grooming of Children Mode through Live Streaming: Legal Gaps in the Face of Anonymity of Online Transactions

    Authors: L. Alfies Sihombing, Yeni Nuraeni, Wahyudi, Loso Judijanto, Abidah Abdul Ghafar

    DOI: 10.15294/lslr.v9i2.28259

    Abstract

    The rapid development of digital technology has enabled new forms of child sexual exploitation, including sexual grooming conducted through live-streaming platforms. This phenomenon demonstrates not only the heightened vulnerability of children in cyberspace but also the limitations of national legal frameworks in addressing crime patterns characterized by anonymity and online financial transactions. This study employs a combined normative and empirical juridical approach to provide a comprehensive understanding of online grooming cases in Indonesia. The normative component analyzes statutory provisions, child protection laws, and digital platform regulations to identify the intended legal protections for children. The empirical component complements this by collecting first-hand insights through semi-structured interviews with law enforcement officers, representatives of the Indonesian Child Protection Commission (KPAI), digital platform operators, and victim support companions. The integration of these approaches reveals gaps between legal norms and enforcement practices, particularly regarding institutional constraints, reporting mechanisms, and socio-technical challenges faced in case handling. The findings show that grooming through live streaming involves complex psychological manipulation facilitated by platform features that allow perpetrators to maintain anonymity. Current regulations do not explicitly recognize online grooming as a distinct criminal offense, nor do they adequately address anonymous electronic transactions commonly used in this crime. Court decisions also illustrate inconsistencies in legal application due to the absence of specific norms governing technology-based grooming. These findings highlight the urgency of reformulating national legal policies by introducing explicit criminal norms on digital grooming, strengthening penalties for online media-based sexual crimes, and regulating anonymous online transactions. The study further recommends enhancing the role of digital financial institutions and technology platforms in prevention, monitoring, and reporting mechanisms. In addition, community-based education and preventive interventions are essential to complement law enforcement efforts and create a safer digital environment for children. © 2024 Authors.

  • Entrepreneurial Technology Resilience Mediates Entrepreneurial Marketing on Business Performance in Batik MSMEs

    Entrepreneurial Technology Resilience Mediates Entrepreneurial Marketing on Business Performance in Batik MSMEs

    Authors: Rahma Wahdiniwaty, Sudadi Pranata, Nandang Komara

    DOI: 10.34306/att.v7i3.469

    Abstract

    In the digital transformation era, technological resilience has become essential for Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs), including Indonesia’s Batik industry, which must integrate technology to maintain competitiveness. However, many Batik MSMEs still face limited adoption of digital tools, resulting in declining performance and market reach. This study aims to analyze how entrepreneurial technology resilience mediates the relationship between entrepreneurial marketing and business performance in Batik MSMEs. A quantitative approach was used by distributing structured questionnaires to 383 Batik MSME owners in Indonesia. The study employed Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) to evaluate measurement validity and test hypotheses among three constructs, entrepreneurial marketing, entrepreneurial technology resilience, and business performance. Findings reveal that entrepreneurial marketing significantly influences both entrepreneurial technology resilience and business performance. Furthermore, entrepreneurial technology resilience also positively affects business performance and partially mediates the relationship between entrepreneurial marketing and business performance, explaining 80.2% of the variance in the model. The results confirm that technological resilience is a crucial mechanism that strengthens the effectiveness of entrepreneurial marketing strategies. Strengthening digital capabilities and adaptive innovation allows Batik MSMEs to enhance operational efficiency, market expansion, and overall performance. Therefore, improving technological resilience should be prioritized as a strategic policy for sustaining the Batik industry’s competitiveness. © Authors retain all copyrights.

    DOI: 10.34306/att.v7i3.699

    Abstract

    This study aims to empirically examine and analyze the effect of Price and Service Quality on Revisit Intention, with Customer Satisfaction acting as a mediating variable. The research focuses on customers of Tham-Tham Garage, a car modification workshop in Cirebon, Indonesia. A quantitative approach was used, employing a survey method via a questionnaire distributed to 140 customers who had visited the workshop at least five months prior. The data analysis utilized Partial Least Squares (PLS) with SmartPLS 3.2.8 software. The results indicate that Price has a positive and significant effect on Customer Satisfaction (β = 0.178, p = 0.045), and Service Quality also has a positive and highly significant effect on Customer Satisfaction (β = 0.715, p = 0.000). Furthermore, Customer Satisfaction significantly influences Revisit Intention. Customer Satisfaction successfully mediates the relationship between Price and Revisit Intention (β Indirect = 0.151, p = 0.046), and the relationship between Service Quality and Revisit Intention (β Indirect = 0.605, p = 0.000). The findings confirm that Customer Satisfaction is a crucial factor in driving the intention to return to the car modification service, where affordable pricing and high-quality service significantly contribute to this satisfaction. © Authors retain all copyrights.
