Abstract

Cases of students having premarital sex often occur in various places in Indonesia and the world. This has a bad impact on mental health, especially for students. One of the factors that causes the high percentage of premarital sex among students is the lack of parental supervision. This study aims to analyze the relationship between patterns attachment parents on premarital sexual behavior of students in Asia, Africa, and Australia. The variables used in this study are patterns attachment parents and the tendency of premarital sex in students in Asia Africa, and Australia. Respondents consisted of 200 students who were then selected based on the researcher's criteria so that the sampling technique used was purposive sampling. The analysis was carried out using the Pearson Correlations value, the Pearson Correlation value was obtained at -0.713 with a significant value of 0.008, which indicates a negative and significant relationship so that the relationship between the pattern attachment parents towards the tendency of premarital sexual behavior to be accepted. This means that the higher the tendency of the pattern attachment parents, the tendency for premarital sexual behavior to be lower.

Abstract

Geometric optics remains conceptually demanding because students must coordinate ray diagrams, image location, observer position, and everyday optical phenomena within a coherent explanatory framework. This study examined the effectiveness of a Moodle-assisted recitation program designed around contrasting cases to improve senior high school students' conceptual mastery of geometric optics. An embedded experimental design was implemented with 28 Grade XI-MIA students at SMA Annur, Malang Regency. The intervention consisted of four video packages and seven sets of reasoned conceptual exercises delivered through Moodle outside regular class hours. Data were collected using a 19-item reasoned multiple-choice test administered as pretest and posttest, a response questionnaire, observation notes, and students' written reasons. Quantitative analysis included descriptive statistics, the Wilcoxon signed-rank test, normalized gain, effect size, and correlation analysis, while qualitative evidence was used to interpret shifts in reasoning. The mean score increased from 10.61 to 16.64 out of 19, the Wilcoxon test indicated a significant pretest-posttest difference (p < 0.001), the normalized gain reached 0.703, and the effect size was very high (d = 3.28). Most high-gain items were related to reflection, plane mirrors, concave mirrors, and refraction. Students also reported that the program was easy to use and that feedback helped them correct conceptual errors. These findings indicate that Moodle-assisted contrasting cases recitation can substantially strengthen conceptual mastery when digital learning, feedback, and structured comparison are integrated coherently.
