Abstract

This article discusses structural and semantic properties of possessive constructions in Yaben, a Papuan language of Trans New Guinea spoken in the South of Bird’s Head of New Guinea along the Kaibus River, South Sorong Regency. The purpose of the study is to explore alienable-inalienable possessive distinction in structural and semantic expressions in Yaben. In doing this research, the descriptive method was used, and the data were taken with an elicitation technique. The typological approach is also used as a comparative analysis between Yaben and other Papuan and Austronesian languages in the area. The finding of the study shows that the distinction between alienable and inalienable possessions is obvious at the structural and semantic levels. Two grammatical properties are used to indicate alienable and inalienable possessions, which are morphological and syntactic (phrasal) constructions. The morphological construction and noun-noun juxtaposition are used to mark inalienable nouns: kinship terms, body parts, common nouns, and associative nouns; while the possessive marker migine ‘POSS’ linking the possessor and the possessed noun functions to indicate the alienable noun: whole part relational nouns. Yaben shows a prototypical alienable-inalienable possessive distinction, as do other Papuan and Austronesian languages of Papua.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the key factors influencing the implementation of GASING mathematics, particularly teachers’ perception, attitude, competence, and school support, in a rural educational context. The study addresses the limited integration of these variables within a single analytical framework, especially in remote areas such as Kaimana. A mixed-methods approach was employed involving 14 teachers who have experience in implementing the GASING method. Quantitative data were collected using structured questionnaires and analyzed using descriptive statistics and Spearman correlation, while qualitative data were obtained through open-ended responses and analyzed using thematic analysis. The results indicate that all variables are categorized as high to very high, reflecting positive responses toward the GASING method. Correlation analysis shows that teacher competence has the strongest relationship with implementation (r = 0.62), followed by school support (r = 0.52), perception (r = 0.43), and attitude (r = 0.35). These findings highlight the central role of teacher competence in ensuring effective implementation. Qualitative findings further reveal that despite positive perceptions and attitudes, teachers still encounter challenges related to limited practical skills and inconsistent institutional support. This study offers a novel contribution by integrating multiple teacher-related and institutional factors within a mixed-methods framework in a remote context. The findings imply that strengthening teacher competence through continuous professional development, supported by consistent school policies and resources, is essential for optimizing the implementation of innovative mathematics learning approaches such as GASING.
