Abstract

Ethnic and cultural diversity is a fundamental characteristic of the Indonesian nation, comprised of various tribes, regional languages, traditions, and local wisdom values. This study aims to analyze how this diversity functions as social capital in Indonesian national development. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, this study explores the role of social values such as mutual cooperation (gotong royong), tolerance, solidarity, and social cohesion, which are formed through interactions between ethnic and cultural groups. The results indicate that ethnic and cultural diversity in Indonesia is an important social capital in national development, as values such as mutual cooperation (gotong royong), deliberation (deliberation), tolerance, and solidarity strengthen social cohesion, build social networks, and encourage community participation. This diversity enables cross-group cooperation that supports social, economic, and governance development. However, its utilization faces several obstacles, including horizontal conflict, a lack of multicultural education, the influence of globalization and modernization, and socio-economic disparities between groups. Therefore, managing diversity through multicultural education, intercultural dialogue, revitalizing local values, and inclusive policies is key to transforming ethnic and cultural diversity into a strategic asset in strengthening solidarity, building national character, and promoting sustainable national development.

Abstract

This research aims to analyze the dynamics of national identity in the digital era and explore the challenges and opportunities for strengthening national solidarity. Developments in information and communication technology have transformed the way people interact, form opinions, and express their identities, giving rise to new challenges related to social cohesion and national awareness. This research method uses a qualitative approach with literature review techniques. The results indicate that the digital era brings challenges and opportunities for strengthening national identity and social solidarity. The main challenges include the influx of foreign cultures, hoaxes and information polarization, individualistic attitudes, and the dominance of foreign languages, which have the potential to weaken traditional values and social cohesion. On the other hand, digital media opens up opportunities for cultural promotion, character education, creative expression, social mobilization, digital literacy, and campaigns to promote local products, which can strengthen national awareness and emotional attachment to national identity. Strategies for strengthening identity and solidarity require the wise use of digital media, cross-sector collaboration, and adaptive education that instills the values of Pancasila and the Indonesian archipelago perspective, so that the younger generation can internalize national values creatively and participatoryly.

Abstract

Matematika sering dianggap sebagai mata pelajaran yang abstrak dan sulit oleh siswa. Guru-guru telah berusaha dengan menggunakan MS word tetapi presisinya sangat terbatas, sehingga visualisasi grafis belum tersaji dengan akurat.  Untuk itu, Tim Pengabdian kepada Masyarakat (PkM) dari Program Studi Pendidikan Matematika FKIP Universitas Samudra menyelenggarakan workshop tentang pemanfaatan aplikasi Desmos. Kegiatan ini bertujuan untuk meningkatkan kompetensi guru dalam merancang visualisasi grafis matematis sebagai alat bantu mengajar. Workshop dilaksanakan selama dua hari di MTsN 8 Aceh Timur dan diikuti oleh 25 guru yang tergabung dalam Musyawarah Guru Mata Pelajaran (MGMP) Matematika MTsN se-Kabupaten Aceh Timur. Metode pelaksanaan kegiatan meliputi ceramah, demonstrasi, praktik langsung, dan diskusi. Hasil kegiatan menunjukkan antusiasme yang tinggi dari para peserta. Di akhir sesi, seluruh peserta berhasil merancang setidaknya satu visualisasi grafis interaktif menggunakan Desmos, seperti grafik fungsi linear, kuadrat, dan trigonometri dengan slider dinamis. Berdasarkan evaluasi, kegiatan ini efektif dalam meningkatkan keterampilan teknologi dan kreativitas guru dalam menyajikan materi matematika yang lebih menarik dan mudah dipahami. Diharapkan penerapan Desmos dapat secara berkelanjutan meningkatkan kualitas pembelajaran matematika di lingkungan MTsN Aceh Timur.
