Adopting a qualitative approach, semi-structured interviews were conducted via Zoom with a sample of 10 male and female senior university students from 5 Palestinian universities located in the Gaza Strip. The qualitative thematic analysis which was applied with the support of NVivo software identified four key themes, namely: patterns of ChatGPT use, perceived benefits, perceived drawbacks and ethical implications. The data revealed that students mainly use ChatGPT for generating and organizing ideas, checking grammar, structuring arguments, paraphrasing and drafting content. Many students view ChatGPT as a valuable AI tool that enhances efficiency, clarity and coherence. However, a substantial number of the participants reported concerns about reduced creativity and critical thinking, increased overreliance, and, most notably, the weakening of writing autonomy. Other participants also voiced issues related to ethical implications, particularly plagiarism and academic integrity. The results suggest that while ChatGPT could be beneficial when utilized responsibly, it could also represent challenges which may hinder the development of academic writing skills. It was recommended that in order to promote balanced and informed engagement with ChatGPT, the higher educational institutions should establish clear guidelines and integrate digital literacy and ethical AI use into their academic programs.</p> Ali Abedelqader Ali Zendah Copyright (c) 2025 Ali Abedelqader Ali Zendah https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0 https://www.pusdikra-publishing.com/index.php/jsr/article/view/2494 Sat, 14 Jun 2025 00:00:00 -0700 Efektivitas off the Job Training Dalam Meningkatkan Kompetensi Guru di Sekolah https://www.pusdikra-publishing.com/index.php/jsr/article/view/2613 <p>Education in Indonesia faces challenges in producing human resources that are competitive in the era of globalization.

However, even though physical and curricular access is expanding, the emotional voice of children with special needs (CWSN) is still often ignored in the empirical discourse of education. This qualitative research aims to explore and elevate the emotional narrative of CWSN in the context of an adaptive inclusive class. Using a phenomenological approach, data were collected through non-invasive observational techniques combined with journals of teacher reflection and children's creative expression (such as free images and stories) from 12 children aged 7–11 years in three inclusive primary schools. The results show that although adaptive classes have provided structural accommodation, the response to the emotional needs of CWSN is still inadequate. Some of the key themes that emerge in children's narratives include feelings of silence, fragile attachment, and the occasional happiness—suggesting that true inclusion cannot be achieved through physical adjustment alone, but rather requires deeper affective and relational engagement. This research makes an important contribution to the inclusive education literature by emphasizing the importance of emotional literacy, recognition of children's voices, and affectively responsive pedagogy as an integral part of inclusive classroom design. The implications of this study confirm the need for teacher training that places the emotional aspect at the center of a participatory culture and inclusive learning for all learners.</p> Maisura Maisura, Muakhir Syah Putra Copyright (c) 2025 Maisura Maisura, Muakhir Syah Putra https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0 https://www.pusdikra-publishing.com/index.php/jsr/article/view/2602 Mon, 23 Jun 2025 00:00:00 -0700 Pengaruh Model Pembelajaran Problem Based Learning Terhadap Kemampuan Pemecahan Masalah Siswa SMK Negeri 1 Waibakul https://www.pusdikra-publishing.com/index.php/jsr/article/view/2398 <p>Tujuan dari penelitian untuk mengetahui pengaruh model pembelajaran problem based learning(PBL) terhadap kemampuan pemecahan masalah matematika siswa di kelas XI TKJ SMK Negeri 1 Waibakul.

This competence is seen as a fundamental aspect in building effective cross-cultural communication, especially in the context of foreign language learning. The research utilized mixed methods, involving 30 second semester students from Universitas Mercu Buana Yogyakarta who were enrolled in Speaking course. Data collection was conducted through an intercultural competence questionnaire, semi-structured interviews in Focus Group Discussions, direct classroom observations, as well as open-ended questions.From the quantitative results, it was found that students have a high level of cultural awareness and openness, but their cultural knowledge and cross-cultural communication skills are still classified as moderate to low. Meanwhile, qualitative data analysis showed that students understood the importance of cultural insights to support speaking skills, but they felt that the learning process had not fully supported the development of intercultural competence optimally.Based on these findings, this study recommends that cultural elements be integrated more deeply in the teaching of speaking, so that students can be better prepared to face the challenges of global communication. The findings of this study are expected to be a reference in the development of intercultural competence-based English language learning curriculum in higher education.</p> Maria Kristina Mite, Heribertus Binawan Copyright (c) 2025 Maria Kristina Mite, Heribertus Binawan https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0 https://www.pusdikra-publishing.com/index.php/jsr/article/view/2641 Thu, 26 Jun 2025 00:00:00 -0700 The Use of Tag Question in a Fairy Tale https://www.pusdikra-publishing.com/index.php/jsr/article/view/2685 <p>This study examines the use of tag questions in fairy tale dialogues, specifically in the story <em>Why Doesn’t the Rabbit Have a Long Tail?</em>, motivated by the limited research on this linguistic phenomenon in contemporary children’s literature. The objectives are to identify the forms of tag questions, analyze their communicative functions in character interactions, and explore their impact on meaning conveyance, character development, and narrative dynamics. Employing a qualitative descriptive method with a library research approach, data were collected from the fairy tale text and supported by relevant academic sources, then analyzed pragmatically and syntactically to gain a comprehensive understanding of tag question usage. Based on the analysis of the fairy tale, it was found that the explicit use of formal tag questions is very limited, appearing only around four to five times. However, reflective questions functioning similarly are more prevalent and play a crucial role in expressing the protagonist’s inner conflict, fostering emotional engagement with readers, and reinforcing the moral message of the story. Therefore, tag questions and reflective interrogatives serve as effective linguistic strategies that enrich dialogue, enliven characters, and make the narrative more interactive and meaningful. This provides important contributions to linguistic studies in literature and benefits writers and educators in children’s literature.</p> Beby Ariani Harahap, Serli Br Padang, Dian Rizka Aulia, Yani Lubis Copyright (c) 2025 Beby Ariani Harahap, Serli Br Padang, Dian Rizka Aulia, Yani Lubis https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0 https://www.pusdikra-publishing.com/index.php/jsr/article/view/2685 Thu, 26 Jun 2025 00:00:00 -0700 Penyusunan Rencana Kegiatan Bercerita pada Anak Usia Dini https://www.pusdikra-publishing.com/index.php/jsr/article/view/2625 <p>Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis dalam penyusunan rencana kegiatan bercerita pada anak usia dini.
