An Action Research at SDN Paji: Improving Students' Vocabulary Mastery through the Word Wall Strategy

Learning English as a Foreign Language (EFL) requires vocabulary mastery, especially for elementary school students. This occurs due to limited teaching time, traditional teaching approaches, and low exposure to English. The descriptive qualitative method was used in this action research at SDN Paji, Lamongan. The purpose of this research is to determine how effective the Word Wall strategy is in improving the vocabulary of fifth-grade students. For six weeks, visuals, definitions, and example sentences were used to display thirty target words related to everyday themes. By reading aloud, using relevant words, and adding new vocabulary, students engaged with the Word Wall. Post-test results showed better recognition and usage of words in both speaking and writing, indicating a significant improvement in vocabulary mastery. Interviews confirmed that this method makes vocabulary learning more enjoyable and easier to remember, and observations showed an increase in students' confidence, participation, and ability to learn independently. According to self-determination theory, word boards also encourage intrinsic motivation. In addition, word boards support various different learning styles. By collaborating between teachers and students and incorporating additional preparation time into lesson plans, such issues can be addressed. Overall, the Word Wall strategy is student-centered and creates an interactive and cost-effective learning environment. This helps students learn vocabulary in an EFL environment with limited resources. Future research should investigate the long-term impact of digital adaptation at various grade levels

Development of Bamboozle Interactive Learning Media on Office Technology Equipment and Application Elements

This study aims to develop Bamboozle-based interactive learning media for the subject of Information Technology, specifically Office Technology Equipment and Applications, in class X MPLB 3 at SMKN 10 Surabaya. The background of this study is based on the low utilization of learning media, which is still limited due to the dominant use of whiteboards with markers, as well as the fact that student learning outcomes have not yet reached the minimum competency standard (KKM). The method used was research and development (R&D) with a modified ADDIE model, which included the stages of analyze, design, development, and implementation. The resulting media product was an interactive quiz with features such as material, instructions for use, and practice questions based on the Bamboozle application. The results of validation by subject matter experts obtained a percentage of 96% to 98% in the “very feasible” category. Limited trials were conducted on 20 students in terms of response, reaction, and confidence, with a percentage score above 98% with the criteria “very feasible”. Students rated this media as visually appealing, relevant to learning needs, and capable of increasing motivation and learning engagement. Thus, the Bamboozle interactive learning media is suitable for use as a learning support tool to improve material comprehension, learning enthusiasm, and create a more active and enjoyable classroom atmosphere
