The aim of the study is to explore the protagonist's effort in fulfilling her love and belonging needs as viewed from Abraham Maslow's theory. There are four different levels of Maslow’s hierarchy of needs discussed: security and safety needs, social needs, and esteem needs. Maslow's hierarchy of needs is often displayed as a pyramid. The lowest levels of the pyramid of needs are made up of the most basic needs, while the most complex needs are at the top. Once lower-level needs have been met, people can move on to the next level of needs. The researchers identify the characteristics of Reysa as the protagonist in Seribu Musim Merinduimu and analyze her fulfillment of love and belonging needs.

Abstract

The research is concerned with women's movements portrayed in Mommy Asf’s novel Layangan Putus. It objectively finds and discusses a mother's individual movements through transcendence to upholster her existence, particularly in an attempt to overcome and improve herself even without a husband's support, as shown by Kinan, the main female character in the novel. The fact that a woman is always marginalized based on social reality, especially a woman,  becomes the background of the study. The research is conducted using the descriptive-qualitative method proposed by Creswell. The theory applied in this research is the sexist feminist theory proposed by Simone de Beauvoir. The finding concerns the woman's movements described in the novel using Beauvoir's existentialist feminism. The results show that Kinan,  as the main female character,  can overcome and improve herself in life, as evidenced by the four transcendences of Beauvoir's theory to uphold her existence as a manifestation of Owen's movements: Kinan is able to work, become intellectual, achieve social transformation, and refuse the role of otherness

Abstract

This independent curriculum introduces a new framework for students centered on Merdeka learning models, with the goal of fostering their self-assurance and ingenuity. School educators design English teaching plans while guiding students through project-based learning initiatives until they achieve proficiency and commendable performance by the end of the semester. Considering that English stands as a global language, students must attain mastery to prevent lagging behind other nations in the era of globalization. This research aims to analyze the application of the Merdeka Curriculum in improving the quality of learning, especially English, and whether this approach can strengthen creativity and English language proficiency among educators and students. By employing a qualitative methodology utilizing content analysis, the study relies on data derived from questionnaires distributed to 158 English teachers and interviews conducted with educators situated. The examination of the findings reveals that 77.2% of English teachers acknowledge the presence of an independent curriculum, and 76.6% of students have experienced improvements in skills and creativity. For the continuous implementation of the Merdeka curriculum, educators should further enhance their knowledge, take a proactive role in encouraging and assisting students both within and beyond the classroom settings, and design English learning projects that foster the development of students aligned with the Pancasila principles, capable of thriving in the future competitive landscape.
