2025-03-13T09:30:22+08:00

This study aims to formulate efforts to revitalize the cultural heritage of the Dayak Ngaju through the development of the traditional Mandau weapon design incorporating the Djata motif. The Mandau weapon is an essential part of the cultural identity of the Dayak people, passed down from generation to generation.

This research examines the historical and aesthetic aspects of the Mandau, integrating the Djata motif as a symbol of protection and strength. The method includes an interview with a Mandau weapon craftsman, documentation, and a visual analysis of traditional Dayak motifs. The results indicate that the Djata motif in the Mandau design can strengthen cultural values and enrich the traditional art repertoire of Dayak Ngaju.

2025-03-25T10:06:30+08:00

This study aims to analyse the effectiveness of the BIPA teaching material "Fluent Reading of Letter Combinations" in improving the reading skills of elementary-level students at Islam Wittaya School. The research employs a quantitative method with a quasi-experimental approach using a one-group pretest-posttest design. The sample consists of 10 students from class 3/1 Mattayom at Islam Wittaya School, selected through simple random sampling. Data were collected through reading proficiency tests and analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. The prerequisite tests included normality and homogeneity tests, while the hypothesis test was conducted using a paired sample t-test. The results indicate a significant improvement in students' reading skills after using the teaching material. The posttest mean score was higher than the pretest score, and the number of students who achieved the Proficient category increased. The normality and homogeneity tests confirmed the validity of the data distribution, while the t-test results showed a significant difference between the pretest and posttest scores. In conclusion, the BIPA teaching material "Fluent Reading of Letter Combinations" is effective in improving the reading skills of elementary-level BIPA students

Generation Z faces increasing challenges in forming their sense of self. This study explores how traditional arts, particularly Jaipong dance, can serve as a medium for personal branding through informal learning. A qualitative case study approach was employed, with data collected via observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation of active members of Sanggar Seni Cahaya Kancana in Garut, West Java. The findings suggest that the studio serves as a social and cultural ecosystem where participants internalise cultural values, boost their self-confidence, and develop personal branding both offline and online. Specifically, participants demonstrated significant character development, gained community recognition, and used social media to amplify their cultural identities. The results support the integration of traditional art into youth identity formation by combining local heritage with digital expression. This study contributes to the understanding of informal learning spaces as strategic environments for shaping competitive and culturally grounded identities in the digital age

Beyond Numbers: Realistic Mathematics Education in Mathematics in Action to Enhance Students' Problem-Solving Skills

2025-06-26T04:23:25+08:00

This research aims to improve the mathematical problem-solving abilities of class XII Langsa State High School students through the application of the Principles of Realistic Mathematics (PMR). The research method used is Classroom Action Research (PTK) with three cycles. The research subjects were 28 students. Data was obtained through problem-solving ability tests, observation of teacher activities, and student activities in learning. The research results show that the application of PMR is effective in improving students' problem-solving abilities. In cycle I, the students' average score reached 65.43 with classical completeness of 53.57%. This value increased to 72.86 in cycle II with classical completeness of 75.00%, and in cycle III it increased again to 80.23 with classical completeness of 89.28%. Apart from that, teacher activity in learning with PMR also increased from cycle to cycle, with the average value of teachers' ability to manage learning increasing from 3.00 in cycle I, to 3.25 in cycle II, and 3.45 in cycle III. Student learning activities also show an increase. In cycle I, the percentage of student activity was 62.50% (sufficient category), increased to 70.83% in cycle II (good category), and reached 78.57% in cycle III (active category). Students are more active in understanding contextual problems, discussing to find solutions, and summarising learning results. With these results, it can be concluded that the PMR approach can improve students' mathematical problem solving, student learning activities, and the effectiveness of teacher learning management. Therefore, PMR is recommended as a learning strategy that can be applied in mathematics learning at the high school level.
