Abstract

The aim of this research is to analyze self-determination and educational ideals in "Pursuit of Happyness" by Gabriel Muccino. The research adopts a qualitative approach, employing a descriptive qualitative method to analyze data from the movie. The technique involves examining the story, and dialogue that contains self-determination and moral values. Deci and Ryan's theory (2012) is utilized for examining self-determination, while Morska's theory (2018) is applied to educational values. The data analysis in "Pursuit of Happyness" reveals a total of 15 dialogues describing self-determination. Autonomy comprises the highest percentage with 6 dialogues (40,0%), followed by relatedness with 5 dialogues (33,3%), and competence with 4 dialogues (26,7%). Additionally, the analysis of dialogues identifies a total of 18 dialogues related to educational ideals in the movie. Focus values have the highest percentage, encompassing 10 dialogues (55,6%), followed by aspirational values with 5 dialogues (27,8%), and foundation values with 3 dialogues (16,7%).

Abstract

This research examines the cultural categories and gender representation in the English textbook "English Starter" for seventh-grade junior high school students. The study uses Chao's cultural type theory (2011) and Susanto's gender theory (2021). The results show that 61% of the pictures are Universality across Culture, 28% Source Culture, 4% International Culture, 7% intercultural Interaction, and 0% Target Culture. In terms of gender representation, male gender names are represented 49% and female 51%, while female gender is represented 51% and female 52% in address terms, identity markers, adjectives, and nouns. This uneven presentation of cultural categories highlights the need for a more comprehensive approach to curriculum development. The book also demonstrates gender equality, with female gender being more dominant than male, avoiding bias and boosting women's confidence.

Abstract

The phenomenon of bullying is widespread in society and involves a group of people or individuals which is often triggered by pressure from both social norms and class levels in society, making someone a perpetrator or passive observer of bullying behavior. This research is a qualitative study that observes the role of parents in dealing with bullying, and the representation of bullying that occurs in the drama "The Glory" by Kim Eun Sook and "Pyramid Game" by Choi So-i using Roland Barthes' semiotic analysis by explaining the meaning of connotation, denotation and myth. Based on the research results, the role of parents in acts of bullying in the form of negative responses is represented more in the drama "The Glory" by Kim Eun Sook with 71% of views, while the representation of acts of bullying from both dramas shows verbal bullying as much as 44% in the drama "Pyramid Game" by Choi So-I.
