Abstract

Budi Darma's short story collection, Orang-Orang Bloomington, contains stories set in American culture while still addressing common human anxieties. Budi Darma's writing style, which tends toward the absurd and reflective, creates a complex narrative experience. The objectives of this study include analyzing representation and uncovering the meaning of symbols and icons in Orang-Orang Bloomington. The research data consist of narrative excerpts, dialogue, and descriptions containing symbols and icons. Supporting instruments, such as data tables, were used to facilitate the classification and analysis of signs. The data collection process involved several stages: reading all short stories in their entirety, identifying sections of the text containing semiotic signs, noting relevant quotations, grouping data based on sign types according to Peirce's classification (icons and symbols), and compiling selected quotations for further analysis. The results show that symbols depict alienation, inner emptiness, and the characters' identity crises, and form deeper meanings within the narrative structure. This finding confirms that the use of semiotic signs in short stories not only enriches the narrative, but also reflects existential themes such as social alienation and the search for the meaning of life

Abstract

This study aims to develop and evaluate the effectiveness of the TGTW (Team Game Tournament Writing) method in enhancing vocational high school students' ability to write editorial texts. It adopts a Research and Development (R&D) design based on the ADDIE model, followed by an effectiveness evaluation using a one-group pretest–posttest design involving 40 twelfth-grade vocational students. The data were analyzed using the Shapiro–Wilk test for normality, a paired-samples t-test, N-Gain analysis, and effect size calculation (Cohen's d). The validation results indicated a very high level of feasibility, with an average score of 94.66%. The effectiveness test revealed a statistically significant improvement between pretest (M = 61) and posttest (M = 85) scores (p < 0.05). The N-Gain value of 0.62 was categorized as moderate to high, while the effect size exceeded 2.0, indicating a very large impact. Beyond the statistical findings, the implementation of TGTW reflects key principles of the social constructivist paradigm, particularly through collaborative role distribution and the integration of prewriting and drafting processes within a structured group dynamic. Compared to prior studies on cooperative learning which typically report moderate effect sizes—this study demonstrates a notably stronger impact. Overall, these findings contribute to the advancement of collaborative, argument-based literacy models in vocational education. Future research is recommended to extend this work by employing more rigorous experimental designs, such as control-group comparisons, to further validate and generalize the results.
