Abstract

Pantun is a traditional form of Malay oral literature widely used in rituals and social events, functioning as a medium for expressing cultural values. In Jambi, Indonesia, pantun is integral to the community’s cultural and linguistic identity. This study aims to explore the cultural values embedded in the Malay pantun of Jambi and examine its role in preserving local heritage.This research employed a qualitative descriptive design using a content analysis approach. A corpus of pantun was collected through oral traditions, archival materials, and interviews with cultural practitioners in Jambi. The analysis focused on interpreting the meaning, cultural symbolism, and values conveyed through the pantun.The analysis revealed that Jambi’s Malay pantun reflects the community’s worldview and social norms, functioning as a vehicle for transmitting cultural identity. The pantun emphasizes values such as respect, harmony, and wisdom, and demonstrates the community’s linguistic richness. It also plays a significant role in maintaining and promoting the Jambi Malay language.The findings highlight the pantun's function not only as literary expression but also as a cultural archive that strengthens communal identity and intergenerational continuity. Revitalizing the pantun tradition is essential for preserving the cultural heritage and language of the Jambi Malay community.

Abstract

Project-Based Learning (PjBL) and Problem-Based Learning (PBL) have emerged as the leading teaching methods of this century. Thus, this study investigates the students preferences and experiences with PjBL and PBL in the development of writing skills at an Islamic university in Indonesia. Utilizing the qualitative analysis framework proposed by Miles and Huberman (1994), this research provides an in-depth examination of the students experiences, preferences, and the pedagogical efficacy of these two approaches. The data were collected through semi-structured interviews with the students who participated in writing courses that incorporated both PjBL and PBL strategies, allowing for a comprehensive comparison of their impacts on writing skills. The findings reveal that PjBL was particularly effective in enhancing the students writing abilities by nurturing sustained engagement, enabling thorough content exploration, and supporting iterative refinement through extended project work that integrates research, critical thinking, and feedback. In contrast, PBL proved valuable in promoting critical thinking and concise writing by utilizing structured problem-solving tasks. Overall, the study contributes to the discourse on effective writing instruction in higher education by suggesting that, while PjBL offered a more comprehensive framework for writing development, PBL served as a practical complementary method. The combined use of these strategies could, therefore, provide a balanced framework for enhancing the students academic writing proficiency.
