2026-04-15T16:59:50+07:00

Periode 2023 hingga 2025 menandai titik balik kritis dalam ekosistem pendidikan tinggi, di mana kecerdasan buatan (AI) bertransformasi dari sekadar objek kajian akademik menjadi infrastruktur pembelajaran yang melekat dalam keseharian sivitas akademika. Studi ini menyajikan tinjauan sistematis berprotokol PRISMA yang mensintesis 47 sumber primer, mencakup survei UNESCO, meta-analisis jurnal terindeks Scopus dan Web of Science, serta data empiris dari perguruan tinggi Indonesia. Tujuan utamanya adalah mendekonstruksi realitas adopsi AI melampaui statistik permukaan, menuju pemahaman mendalam tentang dinamika pedagogis dan tata kelola institusi. Temuan mengonfirmasi lonjakan adopsi AI di kalangan mahasiswa dari 27% (2023) menjadi 92% (2025), dengan dampak positif terukur pada capaian kognitif (effect size d=0,94). Namun, terdapat paradoks kebijakan yang mengkhawatirkan: hanya 19% institusi secara global dan sekitar 20% dari 15 universitas terkemuka di Indonesia yang memiliki regulasi AI formal. Situasi ini semakin kompleks akibat persaingan intensif antara model LLM open source dan closed source yang mereduksi relevansi regulasi berbasis nama alat. Merespons kesenjangan tersebut, penelitian ini mengartikulasikan Kerangka PAIR (Policy–Access–Integrity–Readiness) sebagai panduan strategis untuk mewujudkan adopsi AI yang bertanggung jawab dan kontekstual dalam pendidikan tinggi Indonesia.

Abstract

This research was conducted to examine the effectiveness of QR Code-based daily vocabulary learning in enhancing students' speaking abilities at SMAN 1 Polewali. A quantitative experimental approach was employed, utilizing a single-group pre-test and post-test design. A total of 34 eleventh-grade students participated in this study. Speaking proficiency was evaluated through an analytic speaking rubric encompassing five components: pronunciation, vocabulary, grammar, fluency, and comprehension. Data analysis was performed using descriptive statistics and the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test. The results demonstrated that students' speaking abilities improved markedly after the application of QR Code-based learning. The mean score obtained in the pre-test was 61.21, indicating relatively low initial speaking proficiency, which subsequently increased to 82.14 in the post-test following the treatment. Additionally, the percentage of students achieving the minimum speaking proficiency criterion (≥80) rose dramatically from 20% during the pre-test to roughly 90% during the post-test. A statistically significant difference was found between pre-test and post-test scores based on the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test analysis (p < 0.05). These results demonstrate that QR Code-based daily vocabulary learning is effective in developing students' speaking skills and can be regarded as a practical teaching method in EFL classrooms.
