Abstract

The accounting system for sales and cash receipts operated at PT Indomarco Prismatama is used to improve internal control over revenue at PT Indomarco Prismatama in Sidoarjo branch offices. This accounting system is carried out to minimize errors and fraud in the process of selling and receiving cash, because there are executors in the field who deliberately cheat in carrying out their duties, but there are also executors who make mistakes but they do not intentionally or have no intention. The error is due to a procedure that was not executed. Therefore, the existence of an accounting system will be able to support the performance of employees in carrying out their duties properly.

Abstract

This study examines the effectiveness of experience-based learning in strengthening sustainable character education in high schools. Using a mixed methods design combining a quasi-experimental pretest–posttest and qualitative case study, 200 students from two Indonesian schools were divided into experimental and control groups. Quantitative data were analyzed using mean difference tests and ANCOVA, while qualitative insights were obtained through interviews, observations, and reflections. The results show a significant improvement in discipline, responsibility, empathy, and cooperation among students in the experimental group. The study concludes that direct learning experiences, supported by reflection and social engagement, effectively foster long-term character values and contribute conceptually to sustainability-oriented education strategies, offering practical guidance for schools in designing experiential curricula.

Abstract

This qualitative study explores indigenous communities’ perceptions of integrating traditional herbal medicines into modern pharmaceutical services. Through semi-structured interviews with 15 herbal users, traditional practitioners, and pharmacists in Medan, the findings reveal that indigenous communities view integration as a means to enhance legitimacy and access, though concerns persist regarding authenticity, safety, and commercialization. Pharmacists generally support integration but face regulatory and standardization challenges, while traditional practitioners stress the preservation of cultural values. The study concludes that successful integration requires cultural sensitivity, regulatory alignment, and collaboration between pharmacists and traditional healers to support a more inclusive health system.

Abstract

This study investigates the implementation of Morning Circle as a strategic approach to enhance English vocabulary and pronunciation among kindergarten students. Grounded in Lev Vygotsky’s Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD) and the concept of scaffolding, this study explores how teacher–student interactions within this activity support early language acquisition. A descriptive qualitative method was employed through classroom observations conducted over six weeks in a kindergarten that routinely integrates Morning Circle into its English language learning practices. Data were collected through non-participant observations involving 23 students and one teacher, focusing on four main components: greetings, singing, counting, and material delivery. The data were analyzed thematically by identifying recurring patterns of teacher support and students’ language responses in relation to the ZPD framework. The findings reveal that each component of Morning Circle contributes significantly to language development. Greeting sessions provide structured exposure to basic English expressions with bilingual support. Singing integrates vocabulary with rhythm and movement, facilitating pronunciation practice. Counting activities reinforce number vocabulary while encouraging peer interaction. Material delivery emphasizes thematic vocabulary supported by modeling, gestures, and simplified explanations. Consistent use of scaffolding strategies, including modeling, repetition, bilingual cues, and physical demonstrations, plays a crucial role in guiding student engagement and linguistic progress. These findings suggest that Morning Circle, when purposefully designed, serves as an effective and developmentally appropriate framework for introducing foundational English skills. Beyond a daily routine, it functions as an interactive and intentional learning opportunity that supports vocabulary acquisition and pronunciation development

Abstract

This qualitative study explores seventh-grade students' perspectives on using "The Story of Candi Pari" educational comic in English reading instruction at SMP Dharma Wanita 7 Tanggulangin, East Java. Data was collected through semi-structured interviews with 10 selected students, alongside observations and documentation, which were later analyzed through thematic analysis. Eight themes emerged in response to two research questions. Students identified four strategies that enhanced reading skills: the integration of visual and textual components aided comprehension; gaining vocabulary in context was facilitated by various hints; making comics led to increased engagement; and visual panels helped in grasping narrative structure. Four additional themes represented the students' views: increased enthusiasm and enjoyment, a preference for visual formats that reduce reading anxiety, cultural significance which contributes to a deeper understanding through familiar local material, and pride in their local identity and history. The results indicate that educational comics rooted in local narratives can serve effectively as both instructional and reading resources. They encompass multiple dimensions of reading development, such as cognitive, metacognitive, motivational, and sociocultural elements. This offers substantial proof of the effectiveness of culturally relevant multimodal approaches in secondary education in Indonesia.

Abstract

Science process skills (SPS) are central to scientific inquiry, yet instruments designed to assess SPS-related constructs require empirical evidence that their measurement structure corresponds to their intended interpretation. In Indonesia, SPS instruments have often emphasized expert-based content validation, while evidence concerning the latent structure of self-reported SPS-related behaviors remains limited. This study developed and psychometrically evaluated a two-dimensional self-report instrument assessing senior high school students’ reported engagement in behaviors associated with Basic Science Process Skills (BSPS) and Integrated Science Process Skills (ISPS). A total of 830 tenth-grade students from East Java, Indonesia, were allocated to three independent samples: preliminary analysis (n = 166), exploratory factor analysis (EFA; n = 339), and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA; n = 325). The EFA data were suitable for factor analysis (KMO = 0.964; Bartlett’s χ²(595) = 7,345.301, p < .001). Parallel analysis, eigenvalue examination, scree-plot inspection, and theoretical interpretability supported a two-factor solution. Seven items were removed, yielding a 28-item instrument that explained 49.8% of the total variance. Because Mardia’s tests indicated multivariate nonnormality, CFA was estimated using robust maximum likelihood. The correlated two-factor model demonstrated acceptable fit, χ²(349) = 768.321, p < .001, CFI = 0.925, TLI = 0.919, RMSEA = 0.061, 90% CI [0.055, 0.067], and SRMR = 0.045. AVE values were 0.510 for BSPS and 0.540 for ISPS, while HTMT was 0.805. Cronbach’s alpha and McDonald’s omega ranged from 0.928 to 0.962, with composite reliability ranging from 0.979 to 0.993. The findings support two closely related yet empirically distinguishable dimensions of self-reported SPS-related behavior. The instrument should therefore be interpreted as assessing reported behavioral engagement rather than demonstrated SPS competence. Generalization beyond comparable student populations should remain cautious because participants were recruited purposively from East Java.
