Abstract

This research investigates the local wisdom embedded in the naming of traditional herbal plants in the Nias language through a semantic analysis. The study addresses the gap in literature concerning the cultural and linguistic aspects of medicinal plant nomenclature in Nias, Indonesia. Utilizing a qualitative methodology, semi-structured interviews and documentation were conducted with five Nias individuals to gather insights on traditional herbal plants. Thirty traditional plant names were identified and analyzed for their semantic attributes. Findings reveal that the names often reflect physical characteristics, medicinal properties, or cultural significance, showcasing the rich botanical knowledge and cultural heritage of the Nias people. This study not only documents these unique plant names but also underscores the influence of local wisdom on the linguistic practices of the Nias community, highlighting the interplay between language, culture, and natural environment.

Abstract

This study aims to explore students' perceptions of the effectiveness of Project-Based Learning (PjBL) in the English Education Study Program at Nias University. Using a qualitative approach with a case study design, data were collected from 30 fourth-semester students through questionnaires and interviews. The findings reveal that the majority of students have a positive perception of PjBL's effectiveness in enhancing learning outcomes, developing 21st century skills, and increasing motivation and engagement in the learning process. Notably, 96.67% of participants acknowledged that the skills gained through PjBL are beneficial for their teaching practice, emphasizing the method's relevance in connecting theoretical knowledge with practical application.However, challenges such as uneven task distribution within groups and insufficient guidance from instructors were identified as areas needing improvement. The study highlights the importance of instructor involvement in facilitating the PjBL process, where effective guidance and support from educators are crucial for success. Students expressed appreciation for the hands-on experience provided by PjBL but noted feelings of being overwhelmed by group work demands, particularly when responsibilities were not evenly shared.The findings suggest that educators should adopt innovative teaching methods that engage students and prepare them for professional demands. Future research is recommended to expand the participant scope and utilize a mixed-methods approach to gain a more comprehensive understanding of PjBL's impact across various educational contexts. By addressing the identified challenges and leveraging PjBL's strengths, educators can create more effective learning environments that meet students' needs.
