Abstract

This study explores the language functions of the linguistic landscape at the Medan train station, focusing on its symbolic and informational roles. Using a qualitative descriptive approach through observation, interviews, and documentation techniques, the research highlights the distinct characteristics of the linguistic landscape in this location. The findings reveal a dominance of monolingual Indonesian, which facilitates easy comprehension of billboards and signage for the majority of the population. Informational functions are well-developed, effectively serving to guide and assist users in navigating the station. Additionally, the inclusion of logos, such as the PT KAI logo, emphasizes the credibility and official nature of the messages conveyed. However, the research also identifies a significant underutilization of the symbolic function in the linguistic landscape, with limited representation of local cultural or linguistic elements. This gap is influenced by the public's mindset and a lack of attention to the potential of linguistic landscapes as tools for cultural preservation and identity expression. The study contributes to a deeper understanding of language usage patterns in public spaces and underscores the need for greater integration of symbolic elements, such as traditional scripts and multilingual signage, to enrich the cultural representation and literacy of the community. These findings hold implications for improving the design and functionality of billboards at the Medan train station, ensuring they serve both practical and cultural purposes for diverse users.

Abstract

Education plays a crucial role in the development of a nation, with teachers as agents of change. Mastery of teacher pedagogical competence is the key to designing effective learning. However, the low achievement of student learning outcomes and teacher competence in Indonesia is still a problem. This research uses the literature study method to explore the importance of mastering teachers' pedagogical competencies in improving the quality of education. The results show that teachers' mastery of pedagogical competence plays a significant role in successful learning. Factors such as lack of education and training, as well as limited teaching experience, affect teachers' abilities. Specific strategies need to be implemented in accordance with the Teacher Pedagogical Competency Standards to improve the quality of education. Ten pedagogical competencies, including mastery of student characters and the use of technology as a learning medium, guide the improvement of education quality. Through the literature study method, this research concludes that teachers' mastery of pedagogical competencies plays a central role in improving the quality of education in Indonesia. Special attention to teacher training and development is needed to ensure they can meet professional standards and bring about positive changes in education.
