Abstract

This study evaluates the effectiveness of the "Merdeka Belajar" program launched by the Indonesian Ministry of Education and Culture in improving students' literacy and numeracy. A quantitative method with a quasi-experimental design was used to compare literacy and numeracy scores before and after program implementation in 10 senior high schools in East Java Province, with a total of 100 students as samples. The results showed significant improvements in literacy scores from 62.5 to 75.3 and numeracy scores from 58.7 to 72.1, with a p-value <0.01. Success factors included teachers' freedom in choosing teaching methods, principals' support and parents' involvement. However, challenges such as resource inequality between urban and rural schools and resistance to change remain. Recommendations for education policy include improving access and quality of education resources as well as continuous training for teachers and principals to ensure the sustainability and success of this program

Abstract

Posters remain a strategic medium in visual communication due to their ability to attract attention quickly and convey information efficiently in public spaces. Beyond graphic design elements such as layout, typography, and imagery, surface finishing plays a critical role in shaping visual perception, readability, and audience response. Among the most widely used finishing techniques, glossy and matte (doff) lamination exhibit distinct optical, psychological, and functional characteristics that directly influence communication effectiveness. This study aims to comparatively review glossy and matte lamination applied to posters through a narrative literature review approach. Peer-reviewed journal articles, conference proceedings, and authoritative books indexed in reputable databases including Scopus, Web of Science, IEEE Xplore, ScienceDirect, SpringerLink, and Google Scholar were systematically collected. A total of 42 relevant publications published between 2013 and 2023 were selected and thematically synthesized. The review reveals that glossy lamination enhances color vibrancy and contrast through specular reflection, thereby increasing immediate visual attraction, but often introduces glare that compromises readability and visual comfort. In contrast, matte lamination provides superior readability and reduced visual fatigue under diverse lighting conditions, conveying a professional and elegant impression, although with slightly reduced color saturation. The findings highlight that lamination selection is not absolute but context-dependent, influenced by message objectives, target audience characteristics, and installation environment. This review also identifies significant research gaps, particularly in neuro-cognitive audience response measurement, long-term durability under tropical environmental conditions, and cross-cultural perception of surface finishes. Based on these gaps, a structured research roadmap is proposed. The study contributes an evidence-based framework to support designers, printing practitioners, and visual communication scholars in making informed finishing decisions.
