Abstract

The Friday Pahing tradition is one of the local wisdoms that is still preserved by the people of Purworejo Village, Suruh District, Semarang Regency. This tradition not only has spiritual value, but also plays a role in strengthening the social and cultural identity of the local community. This study aims to analyze the meaning of the Friday Pahing tradition and explore the cultural management model applied in its preservation. A qualitative approach with an ethnographic study method is used to understand the dynamics of this tradition from the perspective of the local community. The results of the study show that the Friday Pahing tradition has three main dimensions, namely religious, social, and economic values. In terms of management, the preservation of this tradition involves the role of traditional leaders, religious figures, and the community through a pattern of cultural transmission that is hereditary. The cultural management model applied is adaptive, where this tradition continues to exist despite facing the challenges of modernization. This study confirms that the sustainability of local traditions is highly dependent on the active participation of the community and support from various parties in efforts to preserve it.

Abstract

Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) based education serves as effective teaching method for developing students' critical thinking, creative, and problem-solving skills. However, implementing STEM learning in various parts of Indonesia, including at primary and secondary level at Karimun Regency, remains challenging. Pre-training observational data revealed that none of the 135 surveyed elementary and middle school teachers in Karimun Regency had received training in applying STEM-based learning to their teaching practices. In fact, teachers do not know and understand learning with STEM approach at primary and secondary levels. This international community service initiative offers training on applying STEM-based learning to elementary and middle school teachers in Karimun Regency, Province of Riau Kepulauan, Indonesia. This program conducted during the 2024-2025 academic year, involved 150 teachers. The training measurement outcomes show that: 1) The training program for creating STEM-based lesson plans was successful. 2) Teachers understand STEM-based learning concepts and can develop lesson plans that meet STEM-based learning criteria. This training program enables to incorporate STEM-based learning in their schools, thereby enhancing students' critical thinking, creativity, and problem-solving abilities. The results of this program contribute to teachers, school management, and the government to prioritize sustainability training to increase the effectiveness of STEM implementation.

Abstract

Abstract This study investigates speaking challenges among students and evaluates the effectiveness of Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) in addressing these issues. Conducted at Andalusia Islamic School, the study involved 20 junior high school students. Employing a quantitative approach, data were collected through direct observation and analyzed using SPSS version 20. The research identified key problems, including insufficient vocabulary, low self-confidence, and inadequate practice. Following the application of CLT, there was a notable improvement in students' speaking abilities, with average scores rising from 63 to 70. Significant enhancements were observed in pronunciation, vocabulary, and fluency. This study highlights the effectiveness of CLT in improving speaking skills and offers recommendations for additional support to further enhance student performance.
