Abstract

This article examines the historical traces and epistemological relevance of Francis Bacon’s foundational concept, “knowledge is power”, to the development of Social Sciences. This study adresses need to understand the philosophical roots of modern social inquiry and its implications for contemporary educational practice. This research uses a qualitative approach with a historical and philosophical literature study method. The data sources consist of Francis Bacon's major works, including The Advancement of Learning, Novum Organum, and The New Atlantis. Data analysis was utilized using content analysis techniques with stages of data reduction, concept grouping, and theoretical synthesis. The results demonstrate that Bacon’s thought about knowledge established a critical framework emphasizing empiricism, inductive reasoning, and the systematic deconstruction of cognitive biases. which significantly contributed to the formation of social studies methodology through the use of empirical data and a problem-solving orientation. Ultimately, these findings confirm that Bacon’s epistemology remains highly relevant in the 21st century, particularly in fostering inquiry-based learning, problem-based learning, and critical literacy to develop students who are analytical, reflective, and capable of navigating complex social dynamics.

Abstract

Museums, as a medium of public history, play an important role in shaping public understanding of historical figures through the collections, spatial arrangements, and narratives presented to visitors. However, historical representations displayed in museums are not always neutral, as they result from the selection and interpretation of particular aspects of the past. Although Tjong A Fie has been widely studied from economic, philanthropic, and architectural perspectives, studies examining the historical representation of Tjong A Fie through museum collections from a public history perspective remain limited. This study aims to analyze the historical representation of Tjong A Fie constructed through the collections displayed at the Tjong A Fie Mansion Museum. The research employs the historical method, consisting of heuristics, source criticism, interpretation, and historiography. Data were collected through observation, interviews, documentation, and literature review. The findings show that the representation of Tjong A Fie is constructed through collections displayed within public, private, domestic, and symbolic-religious spaces. Through these collections and spatial arrangements, the museum represents Tjong A Fie as a successful entrepreneur, a leader of the Chinese community, a philanthropist, and a figure who maintained close relationships with various social groups in colonial Medan. The study concludes that the museum functions not only as a repository of historical collections but also as a public history medium that shapes public understanding of Tjong A Fie's life and contributions to the history of Medan.

Abstract

This study examines the of the development of Nasi Sek as a traditional culinary specialty of the coastal communities of Pariaman between 1980 and 2019. The study aims to explain the background to the emergence of Nasi Sek, its development as a regional culinary specialty, and the factors that led to its decline by the end of the study period. The study employed a historical method with a descriptive-analytical approach, encompassing heuristics, source criticism, interpretation, and historiography. Data were obtained through field observations and interviews with Nasi Sek vendors, fishermen, coastal communities, and tourists, supported by documentation and various relevant literature sources.The results indicate that Nasi Sek began to develop in the coastal communities of Pariaman around the 1980s as a food suitable for fishermen due to its accessibility, convenience, and affordability. Along with the development of the tourism sector, particularly in the Gandoriah Beach area, Nasi Sek experienced significant growth between 1990 and 2009. This development was evident in the increasing number of vendors, the increasing variety of chili sauces and side dishes, and the increasing recognition of Nasi Sek among tourists as a Pariaman culinary specialty. However, between 2017 and 2019, Nasi Sek's presence showed a downward trend, marked by a decrease in the number of stalls and declining consumer interest. This situation was influenced by competition from modern culinary delights, changes in consumer consumption patterns, rising raw material prices, and a pricing system influenced by the Bangkuang culture. Despite facing various challenges, Nasi Sek continues to maintain its presence as a culinary heritage with economic, social, and cultural value for the coastal communities of Pariaman.
