Abstract

Background. Language plays a fundamental role in shaping and reflecting identity, particularly in multicultural societies where diverse linguistic and cultural backgrounds intersect. The relationship between language, identity, and ideology is complex, as discourse both constructs and reflects social realities, power dynamics, and cultural values. Understanding how language operates in such contexts is crucial for exploring how ideologies are communicated and contested. Purpose. This study aims to examine the interplay between language, identity, and ideology in multicultural societies through a sociolinguistic analysis of discourse. It seeks to understand how language is used to construct social identities, negotiate cultural differences, and reinforce or challenge dominant ideologies within diverse communities. Method. A qualitative sociolinguistic approach is employed, using discourse analysis to examine a range of spoken and written texts from multicultural settings. Data sources include media, political speeches, and everyday conversations. The analysis focuses on how linguistic choices reflect identity construction and ideological positioning. Results. The findings reveal that language is a powerful tool for constructing social identities, with speakers strategically using linguistic features to align themselves with particular cultural or political groups. Ideological discourses are often reinforced through language, but also provide spaces for resistance and the negotiation of power relations. Conclusion. This study demonstrates the significant role of language in shaping identity and ideology in multicultural societies, highlighting the need for continued research into how language practices contribute to social dynamics and political discourse.

Abstract

Background. Language plays a pivotal role in shaping political power and influencing public opinion. Through syntax, rhetorical strategies, and discourse structures, political and media discourses manipulate language to persuade, construct ideologies, and reinforce power dynamics. Understanding the linguistic strategies used in these contexts is essential for analyzing how political narratives are constructed and how media discourse frames societal issues. Purpose. This study aims to explore the syntactic and linguistic strategies employed in political and media discourse, focusing on how these strategies serve to exert power, persuade audiences, and reinforce ideological structures. The research seeks to identify common patterns of persuasion and power dynamics within language use and to evaluate their impact on public perception. Method. A qualitative approach is used, with a combination of discourse analysis and syntactic analysis to examine political speeches, media articles, and televised debates. Data is collected from a range of political figures, media outlets, and speeches within the last decade to assess the contemporary use of language as a tool for persuasion and ideological influence. Results. The findings indicate that political and media discourses employ complex syntactic structures, including parallelism, modality, and presupposition, to assert authority and influence audience beliefs. These strategies are closely tied to ideological positioning, with frequent use of inclusive language to consolidate power and exclusive language to marginalize opposition. Conclusion. This research highlights the role of syntax in shaping political and media narratives. Understanding these linguistic strategies allows for a deeper analysis of how power and persuasion function within public discourse, contributing to the manipulation of public opinion and the reinforcement of social and political hierarchies.

Abstract

This study examined the effectiveness of technology application in science learning at SDN 1 E'erinere. The research addressed the problem of low student engagement and difficulty in understanding abstract science concepts under conventional teaching methods dominated by lectures and textbooks. The study aimed to determine the effect of technology-based learning on student learning outcomes and learning motivation. A quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental design was employed, using a nonequivalent control group design. Forty fifth-grade students participated, divided into an experimental group of 20 students who received technology-based instruction and a control group of 20 students taught through conventional methods. Data were collected using multiple-choice tests for pretest and posttest, a Likert-scale questionnaire measuring motivation, and classroom observation. Instruments were validated through expert judgment and tested for reliability before use. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and an independent samples t-test, preceded by normality and homogeneity tests. Results showed that the experimental group's posttest scores rose from an average of 60 to 85, compared with an increase from 58 to 75 in the control group, with a significance value of 0.01. The experimental group also recorded a higher average motivation score of 4.21 against 3.48 in the control group. These findings indicate that technology-based learning significantly improves both learning outcomes and motivation among elementary school students. Technology application therefore offers a viable strategy for elementary science education, provided it is supported by teacher readiness and adequate facilities.

Abstract

The imperative for digital transformation within primary education has highlighted the strategic role of educational leadership in driving technological integration and cultivating student competencies. However, empirical understanding of how technology-focused principal management directly fosters foundational digital literacy among elementary students in resource-constrained contexts remains limited. This study examined the operationalization of technology-based principal leadership management and evaluated its direct role in strengthening student digital literacy at SDN Lalosabila. Utilizing a qualitative single-case study design, empirical data were gathered through semi-structured interviews, non-participant classroom observations, and institutional document analysis involving the school principal, instructional staff, and elementary students. Data was processed iteratively using thematic analysis coupled with method and source triangulation to ensure analytical rigor. The findings demonstrate that technology-driven principal leadership operates across five core operational dimensions: strategic planning, pedagogical oversight through e-supervision, administrative evaluation, human capital development, and culture creation. Furthermore, principal-led initiatives catalyzed a transition from passive technology consumption to active engagement, enhancing student digital literacy across technical, cognitive, and ethical domains. Nevertheless, systemic barriers, including internet bandwidth fluctuations and device shortages, continue to constrain optimal implementation. This study concludes that transformational, adaptive digital leadership is essential for bridging digital divides in primary education. Practically, the results offer actionable frameworks for educational administrators seeking to optimize digital infrastructure, design continuous teacher mentoring programs, and build resilient, ethically grounded digital learning cultures in emerging educational environments.

Abstract

The global expansion of educational technology has highlighted a stark disparity in digital transformation between urban and rural schooling systems. In marginalized primary schools, severe infrastructure deficits and limited teacher digital literacy frequently impede meaningful EdTech integration. This qualitative single-case study investigated how a primary school principal conceptualized and enacted innovative leadership strategies to optimize technology-assisted learning within a resource-constrained rural context (SDN Satap 12 Konawe Selatan, Indonesia). Data was collected over an eight-week field engagement through semi-structured interviews, direct classroom observations, and documentary analysis involving the school principal, teaching staff, elementary students, and administrative personnel. Utilizing an interactive thematic analysis framework, the study revealed that principal leadership innovation operated across four interconnected dimensions: localized peer-mentoring circles, adaptive rotational hardware management, offline content pre-loading, and administrative tool modeling. Despite severe hardware shortages and unstable internet connectivity, these frugal leadership practices successfully enhanced teacher digital self-efficacy, expanded pedagogical diversity, and elevated student learning engagement. The study contributes a grounded model of "frugal digital leadership" to educational management literature, demonstrating that administrative vision and cultural empowerment can effectively offset material scarcity. These findings imply that educational policymakers should prioritize contextualized leadership capacity building and offline EdTech management strategies over top-heavy hardware distribution alone when driving digital equity in rural schools.
