Abstract

This study aims to determine and analyze the role of interpersonal communication between teachers and students in fostering awareness of gadget use at SD Negeri 2 Perumnas Way Kandis. Interpersonal communication is considered a key factor in shaping student behavior, particularly regarding the wise use of technology in the school environment. Teachers, as key figures in the school environment, have a significant responsibility in conveying values ​​and information regarding the positive and negative impacts of gadget use. The method used was a qualitative approach with a case study design. Data collection techniques included observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation. The informants in this study consisted of 15 individuals, including teachers, sixth-grade students, and parents, selected using purposive sampling and snowball sampling techniques. Data validity was tested through source triangulation to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the information. The results showed that teachers' interpersonal communication, which encompasses openness, empathy, support, equality, and a positive attitude, proved effective in raising students' awareness regarding gadget use. Teachers who are able to create two-way communication, provide open dialogue, and demonstrate empathy, are able to foster students' understanding and wise attitudes regarding gadget use. Furthermore, collaboration between teachers and parents also strengthens the implementation of gadget use rules both at school and at home. Consistent and educational communication makes students more aware of the time, content, and purpose of gadget use. This research confirms that good interpersonal communication between teachers and students is a crucial foundation for character education and digital literacy from an early age.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the phenomenon of oligarchy in Indonesian politics, focusing on how political power is concentrated in the hands of economic elites and the resulting implications for democratic governance. It specifically explores the role of political parties and government policy under President Jokowi in reinforcing oligarchic structures. A descriptive qualitative method with a literature review approach is employed in this study. Data is gathered from academic publications, news reports, books, and legal documents to critically assess the patterns and impact of oligarchic dominance in Indonesia’s political system. Political parties in Indonesia often operate as tools for oligarchs to maintain their power and influence. Although President Joko Widodo was initially viewed as a reformist leader, his administration has become increasingly aligned with oligarchic interests. Legislative changes, including the revision of the Corruption Eradication Commission Law (KPK Law), the enactment of the Omnibus Law on Job Creation, and the amendments to the Criminal Code (KUHP), have provided legal protection and advantages to political and economic elites. To reduce the influence of oligarchy in politics and ensure that power genuinely lies with the people, Indonesia must adopt several reform strategies. These include strengthening democratic institutions, enhancing transparency in political financing, promoting accountability in governance, and increasing meaningful public participation. The future of democracy in Indonesia will depend on the country’s ability to restrain oligarchic power and uphold democratic values rooted in public accountability and civic engagement.
