Abstract

Menstruation is a critical aspect of puberty for adolescent girls, and effective Menstrual Hygiene Management (MHM) is vital for their health and well-being. In many schools in Indonesia, however, limited access to Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH) facilities creates significant barriers to proper MHM. This study aims to explore the challenges faced by adolescent girls in managing menstrual hygiene in schools with inadequate sanitation. A Participatory Action Research (PAR) approach was employed using the photovoice method, allowing 20 female students from SMPN 3 Selemadeg Timur, a school in Bali, to document their experiences with MHM. Data were collectedthrough interviews, Focus Group Discussions, and thematic analysis of the photographs. The findings revealed that inadequate toilets, lack of privacy, poor water supply, and ineffective waste management systems significantly hindered students' ability to manage menstrual hygiene at school. As a result, many students adopted the practice of taking home used menstrual pads due to the absence of proper disposal facilities. Cultural taboos and fear of bullying further complicated the issue, preventing students from reporting sanitation problems. Barriers to improving these conditions included limited funds, low awareness of cleanliness, and low prioritization of sanitation within the school. These factors led students to normalize taking used pads home or leaving school to change pads as an adaptation to the unsatisfactory sanitation conditions. The study highlights the need for improved sanitation infrastructure, better waste management, and a more supportive school environment for managing menstrual hygiene.

Abstract

The concept of constructivism has emerged as a key pedagogical approach that highlights the active role of students in constructing knowledge. This theory emphasizes learning through social interaction, experimentation, and self directed discovery, with notable contributions from theorists such as Piaget, Vygotsky, Montessori, and Bruner. This study aims to explore the application of constructivism in teaching physics, specifically focusing on the innovation and effectiveness of this approach in improving learning outcomes. A literature study approach was employed to gather and analyze data from academic journals, textbooks, and previous research articles. The study explored various teaching methods influenced by constructivism, including inquiry-based learning, experiments, demonstrations, and problem-solving activities. Data was collected from a range of academic sources that address the integration of constructivist principles into physics education. The analysis involved reviewing the effectiveness of these approaches in enhancing critical thinking, conceptual understanding, and student engagement in learning. The research found that constructivist teaching methods in physics effectively improve critical thinking, student participation, and understanding of key concepts. Innovative teaching strategies based on constructivism, such as interactive and hands-on learning activities, demonstrated significant improvements in student learning outcomes. This study concludes that the principles of constructivism are highly relevant for physics education, with innovative, constructivist-based teaching strategies proving to be interactive, effective, and impactful in enhancing student learning outcomes.
