Critical thinking skills are crucial for the development of students' cognitive abilities and influence academic achievement, particularly in social studies, which requires reasoning and appropriate solutions. This study aims to describe the profile of fourth-grade students' critical thinking skills at Loceret II Elementary School in social studies. The study used a qualitative approach using observation, interviews, and documentation techniques. The results indicate that students have varying abilities in each critical thinking indicator. For the "ability to identify and understand problems" indicator, most students were able to grasp the core of the problem, although they had difficulty with more complex questions. For the "evaluating evidence and arguments" indicator, some students still struggled to distinguish between fact and opinion. The "making logical inferences" and "monitoring and reflecting on thought processes" abilities also showed progress but required further guidance. The conclusion of this study is that although students' critical thinking skills have begun to develop, a more structured and sustainable approach is still needed to improve their critical thinking abilities in social studies

THE DIFFICULTIES OF SEVENTH GRADE STUDENTS IN WRITING DESCRIPTIVE TEXT AT SMP NEGERI 2 PEMATANGSIANTAR

2025-10-17T17:32:19+00:00

This study investigates the difficulties faced by seventh-grade students in writing descriptive texts at SMP Negeri 2 Pematangsiantar. Writing, as a productive language skill, requires mastery of various components including content development, organization, vocabulary, language use, and mechanics. However, many students still struggle to express ideas effectively in written English. Employing a descriptive qualitative research design, this study focused on analyzing students’ writing performance using Jacobs et al.’s (1981) analytical scoring rubric. Data were collected through a descriptive writing test given to 90 students from three different academic ability levels. Each writing sample was assessed based on five writing components. The findings revealed that the most frequent difficulties occurred in mechanics, with 511 total cases, followed by language use with 238 difficulties. Errors in vocabulary (53), organization (41), and content (1) were considerably fewer, indicating that while students generally understood the descriptive writing format, their ability to apply proper grammar and writing conventions remained limited. The results suggest that the students’ struggles were not primarily due to a lack of ideas, but rather insufficient control over the technical aspects of writing. This study highlights the importance of targeted instructional strategies in grammar and mechanics to support students’ writing development. Teachers are encouraged to incorporate explicit writing practice and feedback into the classroom to improve students’ overall proficiency in descriptive text writing.

FROM MATERIAL TO RELATIONAL: WHAT MOOD AND TRANSITIVITY REVEAL ABOUT EFL STUDENTS’ RECOUNT AND REPORT WRITING

2025-11-28T01:45:04+00:00

This study explores the realization of mood and transitivity systems in Indonesian EFL students’ recount and report writings using the framework of Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL). The study aims to describe the grammatical patterns that characterize each genre and to identify how students use language to construct meaning. The data were obtained from ten texts written by five eleventh-grade students of a vocational high school in Bandung, consisting of five recounts and five reports. Each text was analyzed clause by clause to identify mood types, process types, and thematic structures. The findings reveal that declarative clauses dominate both genres, showing that students primarily use language to provide information. In recount texts, material processes are most frequent, representing sequences of actions and events, whereas report texts are dominated by relational processes, expressing classification and description. Thematic analysis also shows that topical themes are frequently used to maintain coherence. These results indicate that students’ grammatical choices are consistent with genre purposes, yet their variation in clause construction remains limited. The study suggests that explicit teaching of SFL-based writing can enhance learners’ awareness of how language functions to convey meaning in different text types.
