Abstract

The complexities of academic writing need the efficient use of ICT tools to assist English students in writing. The current study focused on the above discussion. The purpose of this study was to investigate the usage of ICT tools for English academic writing, as well as their usefulness. 50 students from IAIN Curup's English department were recruited to participate. This study's data were gathered using an explanatory sequential mixed-method design via questionnaires, interviews, and student artifacts. Data were examined using both quantitative and qualitative criteria. In terms of ICT tools, this study discovered that students used a variety of online resources to improve the quality of their academic writing, including citation tools, search engines, editing tools, translation tools, monolingual and bilingual dictionaries, and a bilingual concordancer. In terms of the usefulness of ICT tools, this study discovered that online resources benefited students in a variety of ways when conducting their English academic writing assignments. As a result, using editing software, students were able to maintain proper grammar and sentence flow. The translation tool was another great resource that enabled students to broaden their vocabulary in order to speak successfully in a range of situations and registers. Students can learn more by utilizing search engines on their own. They could uncover statistics to back up their writing. In a nutshell, the use of digital tools improved the quality of students' English academic writing.

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to describe the ability to solve learning problems in the Islamic education learning system planning course (PSPP) through Polya's steps (understand the problem, devise a plan, carry out the plan, and looking back), using a quantitative descriptive approach. The results showed that the use of Polya's steps was quite effective in solving learning problems in PSPP subjects. From the skill test, 4 categories of scores were obtained, namely students who obtained a score of 100 and a score scale of A amounted to 6 people with a percentage of 13.04%. While students who obtained a score of 95 with a value scale of A were 13 people with a percentage of 28.26%. Students who scored 90 with a grade scale B were 20 people with a percentage of 43.48%. While students who scored 75 with a grade scale C were 7 people with a percentage of 15.22%.
