Improving The Learning of Vocabulary Using ICT in The Primary School

This study aimed to enhance primary school students’ engagement and vocabulary achievement by integrating ICT into learning using the Genre-Based Approach. Conducted as Classroom Action Research (CAR) over two cycles, each with three meetings, the study involved fifth-grade students in a primary school in Sumenep, with data collected through tests, observations, questionnaires, and field notes. Findings showed a significant increase in student engagement (from 68% to 85%) and vocabulary achievement (from 62.8 in the pre-test to 84.6 in the second cycle’s post-test). The results highlight the effectiveness of ICT in fostering engagement and improving learning outcomes, emphasizing the role of the TPACK framework in designing successful vocabulary instruction.
