Abstract

Digital fiction is a collection of art texts in the form of short stories and novels that combine technology, virtual space, media elements, and provide access to readers or netizens to carry out certain activities in it. Narratology of Characterization is the initial foundation in research in the field of literary studies. Narratology is a field of study that explains narratives and narrative structures in a discourse context. Narratology of characterization talks about the position or scheme of characters in the story. The position of the character talks about the role and impact of the role of the character. The character gives birth to characterization. Characterization gives birth to implications. Implications provides birth to messages and perspectives that will be captured by the reader. Narratology research in digital fiction is research that aims to explain the position, role, and function of the character and characterization itself. This study found that in digital fiction, characters are dominated by women. Female characters in digital fiction hold various roles and impacts on the roles they play. Not only that, this study also found that all works included in the digital fiction category are works that are ready to be owned by many people. Digital fiction does not only belong to the author but also to the reader who acts as a ghost writer who has the right to make decisions or provide suggestions and criticisms of the contents of the story. The author is still recognized as the creator of the story and netizens still take their position as figures who assess the work subjectively and objectively, subjective because there are thoughts, ideas, personal points of view in assessing a fiction, objective in providing assessments, input, suggestions, and criticisms for the maturity or goodness of the story.

Abstract

Background: One of the media that can be used in project-based learning involving several fields of study or interdisciplinary is short films. Among such strategies, project-based learning (PBL) has gained prominence for its ability to integrate knowledge across disciplines while cultivating critical life skills. This study explores the effectiveness and impact of incorporating short film media into interdisciplinary PBL to enhance students' social skills and character development.Aims: This study aims to explain the effectiveness of short film media as one of the means and infrastructure in learning. The existence of a project carried out by all class members with the theme of Indonesian culture gave birth to several extraordinary works.Methods: This research is a qualitative phenomenological type. Data collection techniques used are observation and interviews. The data analysis technique used is narrative. The data of this study are sentences, paragraphs, and data sources are words poured out by students during the observation process.Result: The results reveal that students engaged in short film-based PBL demonstrated significant improvement in teamwork, empathy, and moral reasoning, compared to those in conventional PBL settings. Furthermore, qualitative findings highlight increased student engagement and reflective thinking throughout the project.Conclusion: The study concludes that the integration of short films within interdisciplinary PBL serves as a powerful pedagogical tool to nurture socially responsible and emotionally intelligent learners.

Abstract

Background: Fine motor skills are fundamental to a child's early development, influencing their ability to perform daily academic and self-care tasks. However, traditional methods for developing these skills in kindergartens often lack creative andengaging approaches. Kirigami, the Japanese art of cutting and folding paper, has the potential to serve as an interactive learning medium that promotes fine motor skill development through artistic expression and hand coordination.Aims: This paper aims to examine the effectiveness of integrating kirigami as a learning medium to enhance fine motor skills in kindergarten children. The scope includes evaluating improvements in muscle control, hand-eye coordination, and paper manipulation abilities through structured kirigami activities.Methods: The study employed a quasi-experimental design involving 30 children aged 4–6 years, divided equally into an experimental group and a control group. The experimental group received four weeks of kirigami-integrated sessions, while the control group followed conventional fine motor activities. Pre-test and post-test assessments were conducted using a standardized fine motor rubric. Data were analyzed using paired and independent t-tests.Results: The results showed a statistically significant improvement in fine motor skills in the experimental group compared to the control group. Notable gains were observed in scissor control, grip strength, and spatial accuracy. Additionally, qualitative observations indicated increased engagement and enjoyment during kirigami activities.Conclusion: Integrating kirigami into early childhood education serves as an effective, low-cost learning media to enhance fine motor development. It not only supports motor coordination but also fosters creativity and concentration. The study recommends adopting kirigami as a regular component of kindergarten curricula.
