Abstract

This study aims to analyze the thinking skills of students in solving Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) standardized problems based on the Structure of Observed Learning Outcomes (SOLO) taxonomy in economics subjects at the senior high school level. The research was conducted at SMA Negeri 1 Sangasanga with a qualitative descriptive approach. Participants were 31 students from class XI.3 who selected economics as their specialized subject. Data were collected using written test instruments that consisted of HOTS-oriented economic problems and were analyzed through stages of data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing or verification. The findings revealed that students’ thinking abilities were varied and aligned with multiple levels of the SOLO taxonomy. None of the students were categorized at the Pre-structural level. A total of 8 students (26%) were at the Uni-structural level, indicating the ability to recall and identify basic concepts. Nineteen students (61%) achieved the Multi-structural level, demonstrating the ability to process multiple aspects independently. Meanwhile, 6 students (13%) reached the Relational level, showing the capacity to integrate and apply concepts holistically. These results suggest that while most students have developed foundational analytical skills, there remains a need for learning strategies that enhance deeper, integrative thinking to advance toward higher SOLO levels such as Extended Abstract.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the influence of peer conformity and pocket money on university students' lifestyles. Today's students often feel compelled to follow current lifestyle trends, influenced by factors such as peer pressure and the availability of pocket money. This study examines whether peer conformity and pocket money, either partially or simultaneously, affect students' lifestyles. The study adopts a quantitative approach with a saturated sampling technique involving 70 respondents. Data were collected using questionnaires and analyzed through multiple linear regression using SPSS version 26. Hypothesis testing was conducted using t-tests, F-tests, and the coefficient of determination (R²). The findings indicate that peer conformity and pocket money each have a positive and significant partial influence on students' lifestyles. Simultaneously, these two factors also positively and significantly influence lifestyle choices. The coefficient of determination (R²) reveals that 72.2% of students' lifestyle variance can be explained by peer conformity and pocket money, while the remaining 27.8% is influenced by other factors not examined in this study. This research highlights the important role of peer interactions and financial resources in shaping students' lifestyle choices, offering valuable insights for educational institutions and parents in guiding students toward balanced and sustainable lifestyle decisions.

Abstract

This study explores the dynamics of achievement motivation among scholarship recipients in a higher education context. Although scholarships are generally expected to enhance academic motivation and support students’ needs, many recipients perceive that financial assistance alone does not directly strengthen their motivation to achieve. Using a qualitative descriptive design, data were collected through in-depth interviews with five scholarship beneficiaries. The data were analyzed using a systematic process of reduction, presentation, and conclusion drawing. The findings reveal that, in terms of choice, scholarships function not only as financial support but also as catalysts that strengthen students’ motivation, sense of responsibility, and academic focus. Persistence is shaped by internal factors such as personal aspirations, family values, and responsibility, as well as external factors including financial stability, routine mentoring, and performance expectations. In the dimension of effort, scholarship recipients demonstrate structured learning strategies, consistent study habits, and increased engagement in academic improvement activities. Overall, the study highlights that scholarships play a multidimensional role extending beyond financial assistance by fostering responsibility, perseverance, and disciplined learning behavior. These insights contribute to a deeper understanding of motivational mechanisms among students receiving financial aid and underline the importance of integrated academic and mentoring support within scholarship programs.

Abstract

This study analyzes the performance and financial feasibility of a micro-enterprise laundry business operating in the service sector. Using a descriptive quantitative approach, primary data were collected through structured interviews with the business owner and employees to capture detailed information on operational and financial conditions. Financial performance was evaluated by analyzing revenue, operating costs, net income, and the Benefit Cost ratio as an indicator of business feasibility. The results indicate that the laundry enterprise achieved an average Benefit Cost ratio of 2.02 during the observation period, demonstrating strong financial feasibility and efficient resource utilization. This finding suggests that the business is capable of generating returns that significantly exceed its operational costs. Furthermore, the analysis reveals that effective cost control, accurate financial recordkeeping, and stable service demand play a crucial role in sustaining profitability. The study highlights that micro-enterprise laundry businesses have considerable potential for long-term sustainability when supported by sound financial management practices. Strengthening systematic cost monitoring, improving financial planning, and maintaining service quality are recommended to enhance operational efficiency and ensure continuous business growth. The findings provide practical insights for micro-entrepreneurs and policymakers seeking to support the development and resilience of small-scale service businesses.
