Abstract

The purpose of this research is to find out 1) whether there is a significant increase in students' ability to write texts with clustering techniques, and 2) any difficulties that are associated with students in using clustering techniques. The test used is a test writing descriptive text and questionnaires. The method in this research is Post-Test Pre-Test Unit Design. The research design uses one class as an experimental class which gets two consultations using the Clustering technique. The sample used was 20 students in class VIII SMP N 5 Ranoyapo. Research data were collected through pre-test, post-test and questionnaire. The results showed a difference between pre-test and post-test statistics after the application of clustering techniques with significance values. Furthermore, most students find it difficult to use adjectives and develop main topics when using grouping techniques to write descriptive paragraphs. This shows the grouping technique makes it easy for students to improve their writing skills

Abstract

Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools are increasingly integrated into education, offering innovative solutions to enhance learning, particularly in language acquisition. In grammar instruction, tools like Grammarly and ChatGPT provide real-time feedback, error correction, and personalized learning experiences. This study investigates the impact of these AI-assisted learning tools on grammar proficiency among students from diverse academic programs in two higher education institutions in Indonesia. A quasi-experimental design was employed, comparing pre-test and post-test grammar scores to evaluate the effectiveness of these tools. A total of 150 students participated, representing programs such as Nursing, Pharmacy, Health Administration, Economics Education, and English Education. The findings revealed significant improvements in grammar scores, particularly among students in non-language-focused programs, with an average increase of 15%. Students in the English Education program showed smaller gains (5%), attributed to their higher baseline proficiency. While the results demonstrate the potential of AI tools in enhancing grammar accuracy, concerns were raised about over-reliance on technology and the need for transparent integration in educational contexts. The absence of qualitative insights and long-term retention data are acknowledged as limitations. This study highlights the importance of using AI as a supplementary resource to support meaningful grammar learning, especially for students with limited exposure to formal language instruction.

Abstract

Pragmatic competence—the ability to use language appropriately in social contexts—is essential for effective EFL communication but often underemphasized in teacher education. This study examines the impact of speech act-based instruction on developing pre-service English teachers’ pragmatic competence. Participants included 20 second-year students enrolled in the English Education program at Universitas Kristen Indonesia Tomohon. Over four weeks, they attended two 90-minute instructional sessions per week, integrating explicit instruction, role-plays, discourse analysis, and reflective discussions. Multiple instruments were employed: a 30-item pragmatic competence test (combining situational multiple-choice and open-ended tasks), classroom observations, and post-instruction interviews. Quantitative results revealed statistically significant improvements across all levels of speech acts: locutionary (M = 0.437 to 0.5665, p < .001), illocutionary (M = 0.535 to 0.6105, p < .001), and perlocutionary (M = 0.5295 to 0.5565, p < .001). Qualitative findings highlighted increased pragmatic awareness, communicative confidence, and in-class adaptability. However, participants still faced challenges in transferring theoretical knowledge into spontaneous speech, suggesting the need for extended, contextualized instruction. These findings affirm the value of structured pragmatic instruction in EFL teacher training, equipping future educators to model and foster linguistic accuracy and sociocultural fluency in global communication.

Abstract

PMO addiction (Pornography, Masturbation, and Orgasm) is a serious issue that negatively impacts mental, physical, and spiritual health, particularly for the youth in the GMIM Tasik Wangurer congregation in the Bitung VIII region. This study aims to examine the issue of PMO addiction from a Christian ethical perspective and provide appropriate treatment recommendations. The urgency of this research lies in the widespread impact of PMO addiction on individual and church community life, as well as the need for a holistic approach that aligns with Christian values for addressing this issue. The research method includes literature review, in-depth interviews with involved youth, and consultations with theologians and mental health experts. The results of the study indicate that PMO addiction contradicts Christian ethical principles such as holiness, self-control, love, and the calling to live a holy life. The implementation of the research findings includes faith-building through pastoral counseling services, Bible study and prayer, and mentoring programs; education and awareness through seminars, training, and support groups; as well as positive direction through talent development and character building. By applying these measures, it is hoped that youth experiencing PMO addiction can recover and lead lives that align with their calling as holy and pleasing children of God

Abstract

This study examines the economic welfare of fishermen in Gemeh District, Talaud Islands Regency, with a focus on the financial structure based on fishing yields. The study aims to understand how financial support from fish buyers affects the income and overall economic well-being of fishermen. The financial assistance typically includes capital for fuel, basic family needs, and emergency expenses. A case study approach was used to gather in-depth data on the fishermen's economic conditions. The population consists of fishermen in Gemeh District, while the sample includes those who have adopted a catch-based financial system. Data collection involved interviews and Focus Group Discussions (FGD) with fishermen, government representatives, and community members. The data was analyzed using regression analysis to evaluate the relationship between fishing yields (independent variable) and fishermen’s income (dependent variable), alongside other factors like operational costs and financial aid. The regression analysis revealed a significant positive relationship between fishing yields and fishermen's income. Higher fishing yields were correlated with increased income, although high operational expenses often hindered optimal economic welfare. Fishermen who received capital from local fish buyers experienced moderate levels of economic welfare, while those who accessed financial institutions, such as banks, reported better financial stability. Furthermore, the fishermen's reliance on buyers for financial assistance sometimes resulted in increased debt and limited economic mobility. The findings suggest that while fishing yields directly impact fishermen’s income, their overall economic welfare is also influenced by operational expenses and the financial system in place. Fishermen with access to larger capital sources, such as banks, tend to have better financial outcomes than those reliant on local fish buyers. The results underscore the need for policies that reduce operational costs and improve access to fair financial resources, thereby enhancing fishermen's economic independence and well-being. This study concludes that improving the financial structure and providing more equitable access to capital will significantly impact the economic welfare of fishermen. Policies aimed at modernizing fishing tools, reducing operational costs, and offering broader financial options are critical to achieving sustainable economic welfare for fishermen in Gemeh District.

Abstract

This study aims to provide an overview of the professionalism of elementary school teachers, the relationship between economic burdens and the level of teacher professionalism, and what economic burdens are wrapped around and most wrapped around teachers in rural areas located in the Modoinding sub-district, South Minahasa district, North Sulawesi, Indonesia. This research uses a descriptive qualitative method. A total of 92 teachers were selected as the sample of this study varying between levels D-II, D-III, and D-IV/S1. In-depth interviews were conducted in this study, and the identification results found that 30 teachers belonged to class IIIa with working periods varying between 10 to 16 years and a salary range between IDR.3,252,900 to IDR.3,570,100. The research results found several types of financial burdens experienced by teachers, and the most wrapped around them are limited salaries, incentives, and debt. It showed that instructors deal with a variety of financial difficulties, the most common being inadequate pay, little incentives, and excessive debt. Their inability to pay for necessities is hampered by these financial difficulties, which also have a negative effect on their concentration and commitment to their work-related obligations. Particularly when it comes to debt, teachers are frequently compelled to look for other means of money, which takes them away from their core responsibility as educators. As a result, these financial constraints may have a negative impact on the standard of instruction underscoring the need for more focused interventions to address these problems.

Abstract

This article aims to examine in depth how Christian values ​​can be integrated into nursing ethics in professional practice. In the world of nursing that continues to develop and faces various moral dilemmas, the role of spiritual and religious values ​​is becoming increasingly important, especially values ​​derived from Christian teachings. Values ​​such as love, humility, justice, respect for human dignity, and selfless service are integral parts of Christianity that are in line with ethical principles in nursing. With a qualitative approach through a literature review from various reliable sources, this article identifies a strong relationship between the moral principles of Christianity and the principles of professional nursing ethics. The results of the study indicate that nurses who internalize and apply Christian values ​​in their practice will have higher ethical sensitivity, deep moral reflection skills, and more compassionate and holistic services. These findings underline the importance of faith-based continuing education and development for nursing staff, so that they can provide health services that are not only professional, but also spiritually meaningful

Abstract

Integrating sustainable education into English as a Foreign Language (EFL) has become increasingly important in response to global environmental challenges. This study evaluates the effectiveness of a localised Green ELT curriculum developed and implemented at a private Christian university in Tomohon, Indonesia. Guided by a Design-Based Research (DBR) methodology, the curriculum was designed to integrate ecological content with Christian values and English language learning objectives. The study involved 50 purposively selected EFL students and was conducted over three months (March–May 2025) through three phases: curriculum design, classroom implementation, and evaluation. Data were collected using pre- and post-questionnaires, classroom observations, and Focus Group Discussions (FGDs). Quantitative data were analysed with paired t-tests, while qualitative data were thematically analysed. The findings revealed statistically significant improvements in both environmental awareness (t = -13.62, p < 0.001) and motivation to learn English (t = -6.60, p < 0.001). Qualitative insights further confirmed that faith-based discussions and contextualised activities deepened student engagement, linking language learning to sustainability issues. These results demonstrate that Green ELT can foster linguistic skills while enhancing students’ sense of environmental responsibility when localised and aligned with cultural and religious values. The study highlights the potential of Green ELT in faith-based contexts and recommends further adaptation across diverse educational settings to promote sustainable language education.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the economic losses suffered by online motorcycle taxi drivers in Tomohon City due to account cloning, a growing form of digital exploitation in Indonesia’s gig economy. The research examines financial, operational, and psychological impacts, evaluates platform security measures, and assesses the erosion of consumer trust. A mixed-methods approach was employed, combining quantitative surveys with 50 drivers and qualitative in-depth interviews with drivers, customers, and platform representatives. Data were collected through structured questionnaires, participatory observation, and thematic analysis. Quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive statistics to measure income decline and additional costs, while qualitative data were interpreted through thematic content analysis to understand lived experiences and systemic vulnerabilities.Findings reveal that 44% of income reduction is directly linked to account-related disruptions, with affected drivers losing between IDR 500,000 and 1,000,000. Additional recovery costs further strain their financial stability. Psychologically, 76% reported moderate to high anxiety, and 64% stated that the threat of cloning negatively affects work motivation. Consumer trust is compromised, as 80% of drivers acknowledge reputational damage due to service inconsistencies caused by cloned accounts. Despite high awareness of cloning (82%), only 40% implement preventive measures, and 70% perceive platform responses as inadequate. The discussion highlights that account cloning is a systemic issue rooted in weak platform governance and low digital literacy. The absence of compensation mechanisms exacerbates worker vulnerability. This study recommends mandatory implementation of advanced security protocols, integrated digital literacy programs, and a formal gig worker protection framework including rapid reporting and financial compensation. These measures are essential for building a fairer and more sustainable digital transportation ecosystem.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the income and welfare of anchovy pond farmers in Desa Kumu and Rap-Rap, Minahasa, within the framework of blue economy sustainability.. A quantitative approach with an explanatory descriptive design was employed, combining structured interviews, a validated questionnaire, and direct field observations. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and multiple linear regression, with classical assumption tests (normality, multicollinearity, heteroscedasticity) conducted to ensure model validity. The results show that the average net daily income for pond farmers ranges from IDR 100,000 to IDR 135,000, which is sufficient for household needs but subject to fluctuations due to market prices and environmental conditions. The regression model (R² = 0.76, F = 18.24, p < 0.01) reveals that direct market access (β = 0.55, p = 0.000) and working capital (β = 0.42, p = 0.002) have a significant positive impact on income, while operational costs have a significant negative effect (β = -0.38, p = 0.005). In contrast, the use of environmentally friendly technology does not show a significant influence (p = 0.162), primarily due to limited adoption. Most farmers rely on personal savings for capital and sell their produce through local collectors at non-negotiable prices. Although 80% have heard of the blue economy, practical understanding and implementation remain low, hindered by high equipment costs and lack of training. The discussion highlights that economic empowerment, particularly through improved market access and financial support, is more critical for immediate welfare improvement than environmental technology adoption. The findings extend previous research by integrating socio-economic and sustainability factors into a single analytical model. Based on these results, it is recommended that local authorities facilitate the establishment of marketing cooperatives, provide microfinance programs, and deliver targeted training on eco-friendly aquaculture practices to enhance both income and environmental sustainability.
