The data were in the form of dialogues and monologues collected by watching the movie, reading the script, identifying the data based on the research problem, and classifying the data.. Based on the findings, there are three negative effects of ethnocentrism shown by ethnocentric people. First, ethnocentrism builds a strong belief that their culture is superior to others. Second, ethnocentric people will perform high level of egocentrism. Third, ethnocentrism will affect inter-cultural communication in negative way. These three negative effects happen because ethnocentric people tend to focus only in group and evaluate other cultures based on their standards.

Abstract

Pendidikan karakter seyogyanya diberikan kepada siswa sejak dini karena pendidikan karakter mempengaruhi karakter masyarakat di masa depan. Permasalahan yang terjadi adalah tidak semua sekolah mampu memberikan penanaman karakter sejak dini yang dikarenakan minimnya sarana dan prasarana yang dimiliki. PAUD Tunas Bangsa 2 merupakan salah satu PAUD swasta yang terletak di daerah Sendangguwo Semarang. Mayoritas siswa PAUD Tunas Bangsa berasal dari masyarakat sekitar kelurahan dengan tingkat ekonomi menegah ke bawah. Dengan pemasukan dana yang sangat terbatas, banyak sekali sarana dan prasarana sekolah PAUD ini yang perlu dibenahi, salah satunya dari sisi bahan bacaan untuk proses pembelajarannya. Kurangnya bahan bacaan membuat proses pembelajaran tidak berjalan dengan maksimal. Berdasarkan analisis kebutuhan mitra di atas, maka dapat disimpulkan bahwa PAUD Tunas Bangsa 2 tersebut memerlukan peningkatan pada beberapa aspek, diantaranya adalah bantuan sarana dan prasarana dalam proses belajar mengajar. Dengan demikian, pengabdian masyarakat ini berfokus pada pemberian bantuan sarana pembelajaran yang dalam hal ini berupa buku-buku cerita anak dan beberapa alat peraga serta peningkatan kompetensi guru yang dalam hal ini melalui pendampingan kegiatan bercerita. Materi diisi dengan sosialisasi terkait manfaat kegiatan bercerita, pemaparan teknik bercerita, dan pendampingan penyiapan kegiatan bercerita. Hasil pengabdian menunjukkan bahwa baik guru maupun kepala sekolah antusias mengikuti serta berlatih mengaplikasikan teknik bercerita, sedangkan siswa PAUD antusias mendengarkan cerita yang disampaikan oleh guru dan terlihat aktif menjawab pertanyaan diberikan oleh guru terkait dengan tema pendidikan karakter yang dipilih.

Abstract

This study analyzes gender representation in Wonder Woman (2017) and Black Widow (2021), two important works that introduce female characters as main protagonists in the superhero genre. Although both feature strong, independent, and agency-filled female characters, this analysis shows that both films are still influenced by patriarchal elements that objectify women through the representation of the bodies and visual appearance of the main female characters. Using the male gaze theory introduced by Laura Mulvey (1975) and the perspective of gender analysis in media, this study aims to reveal how, despite efforts to empower women, visual depictions still highlight the sexual dimension of the female characters' bodies, reminiscent of visual structures that tend to focus on male fantasy. This study also discusses how these depictions remain trapped in a socio-cultural framework that perceives women in terms of physical beauty and sexual attractiveness. Using a qualitative approach, this study uses content analysis of key scenes in both films to trace gender representation and explore the narratives and characters that develop throughout the story. The results show that although there is room for empowerment and change in the superhero genre, women's bodies are still unavoidably objectified in these films. This research is expected to contribute to developing gender representation theory in film and offer further insight into the transformation of women's roles in Hollywood film narratives.

Abstract

Although language assessment literacy (LAL) has received increasing attention globally, studies on pre-service teachers’ initial awareness in the Indonesian context are still relatively limited. This study examines the perceptions of fourth-semester pre-service English teachers toward language assessment, focusing on three main aspects: their views on the initial introduction of assessment theory, their understanding of assessment practices, and the importance of assessment. Using a qualitative descriptive design, the data were collected from 58 participants through questionnaires and semi-structured interviews with 15 participants. The results showed that the participants found the initial introduction to assessment theory to be very beneficial because it increased their self-confidence and provided a structured direction in planning their future teaching. Most participants initially viewed assessment as a tool to assess students. However, after gaining an understanding of assessment principles such as validity, reliability, practicality, and washback, their perceptions changed. They began to see assessment as an important part of the teaching process. These findings underscore the importance of incorporating language assessment literacy early in the teacher education curriculum to develop reflective and assessment-literate educators. The study recommends that language assessment instruction should not only be delivered comprehensively but also contextualized in practical teaching experiences.
