Abstract

This study delves into the users’ state of mind with regard to the use of online platforms for educational purposes, specifically in the context of higher education. The purpose of this study, which employs a survey method, is to investigate how students perceive online teaching and learning in higher education and contribute to the growing collaboration between higher education researchers studying 21st-century learning concepts and Indonesian universities, which are increasingly implementing online teaching and learning. This study analyses various significant problems, including the process of online teaching and learning at universities, the difficulties of its implementation, and the users’ perceptions and attitudes towards the implementation of online teaching and learning. Overall, it is found that both students and lecturers prefer offline, face-to-face interaction in class rather than the online system. It is possible to state that both the lecturers and the students who have been attached to the conventional method of instruction and learning process are not prepared for the shift from offline to online learning. Even though online learning has been implemented, there is still a lack of consensus on the best practices for an effective online classroom. In addition to this, the fact that the institution does impose any fixed regulation also plays an important role in this. Keywords: State of Mind, Online Teaching and Learning, Higher Education

Abstract

This study aims to describe the use of ego defense mechanisms by characters in three short stories by Stephen King in the book “Bazaar of Bad Dreams”, namely Premium Harmony, A Death, and Bad Little Kid, using Sigmund Freud’s psychoanalytic theory that focuses on ego defense mechanisms. The study uses a qualitative descriptive method with a psychoanalytic approach. Data were collected through short story selection, reading and recording, and coding, then were analyzed through data classification, data analysis, description of analysis results, conclusions of analysis results, and reporting of research results. The results show that the characters in the three short stories display various ego defense mechanisms in dealing with conflict and stress, including denial, reaction formation, projection, displacement, rationalization, and repression. The analysis reveals the complex psychological dynamics of each character and how internal and external factors influence their ego defense mechanisms. It also compares their applications in the context of Indonesian society. Ego dominance is seen in the character’s attempts to balance id drives, superego demands, and reality through different ego defense mechanisms.

Abstract

This study uses the theory of personality structure by Sigmund Freud and a psychoanalytic/psychological approach. Due to the death of her brother, Cassandra feels lost, guilty, traumatized, and upset, so she withdraws more from her friends. The results of the study concluded that three types of bullying in the novel The Nerd Can Fight, namely verbal bullying, physical bullying, and mental or psychological bullying experienced by the main character, Cassandra; she can defend herself against it by avoiding conflict, not responding to the bullying, not caring, and being indifferent.This attitude arises because she has a role model, namely her brother, and the presence of her best friend, Adam, makes the main character, Cassandra, able to defend herself from bullying.

Abstract

This study examines the implied meaning of love in Robert Burns’ A Red, Red Rose through a structural approach, integrating Cognitive Poetics, Conceptual Metaphor Theory, and structuralist perspectives. Using qualitative analysis, each stanza is explored to identify figurative devices such as similes, hyperboles, symbolism, repetition, rhyme, and meter, and to interpret how these elements convey nuanced emotional meanings. The findings reveal that stanza 1 presents love as fresh and harmonious; stanza 2 emphasizes its enduring nature across time; stanza 3 expresses a cosmic and temporal climax; and stanza 4 depicts a dignified farewell, highlighting constancy, hope, and devotion. Overall, Burns’ integration of figurative language and structural patterns demonstrates love as eternal, resilient, and harmoniously balanced. Suggestions for future research include applying cognitive and cross-cultural approaches to poetry, while educators and students are encouraged to analyze the interplay of form and figurative devices to deepen understanding of implied meaning.

Abstract

This study analyzes the cultural stereotypes presented in Disney’s Aladdin (1992), focusing on how the film represents Middle Eastern culture through characters, plot, setting, and themes. Using the theoretical framework of Stuart Hall’s representation theory, Richard Dyer’s concept of stereotypes, and Edward Said’s Orientalism, this research applies a qualitative descriptive method through film text analysis. The findings reveal that Aladdin contains strong elements of Orientalism, depicting Arab culture as exotic, irrational, and inferior compared to Western civilization. Characters such as Jafar, the Sultan, and even Aladdin himself are shaped through stereotypical lenses that reinforce Western cultural dominance. The film’s narrative and visual elements, from costume design, language, and setting to the theme of freedom versus control, perpetuate Western superiority while diminishing the cultural complexity of the Middle East. This study concludes that Aladdin not only entertains but also functions as a vehicle of cultural misrepresentation, shaping global perceptions of Arab identity.
