Abstract

The city of Banjarmasin has a long history, reflected in the place names (toponyms) scattered across its territory. Toponyms not only indicate locations but also encapsulate historical, cultural, and local wisdom values of the wetland communities. Unfortunately, the use of toponyms as a source for learning local history remains limited, particularly within the educational context. This research aims to identify and describe the toponyms in Banjarmasin, along with their origins and meanings. It also analyzes the connection between toponyms and local history as well as the wisdom of the wetland communities. Furthermore, it seeks to develop a model or teaching material for local history based on toponyms as a contextual learning resource for junior and senior high schools. The research employs historical methods, including heuristics (source collection), criticism (external and internal), interpretation (analysis), and historiography (writing). The study’s findings suggest that Banjarmasin’s toponyms can be integrated into local history education. Through toponyms, students can learn about the relationship between humans and their environment, the dynamics of settlement, the city’s development over time, and support a contextual learning approach.

Abstract

Local Wisdom becomes an icon of an area whose existence must be preserved. Banten province has many local wisdoms that must be maintained. One of them is traditional food, which is now being replaced by modern food. The younger generation is now starting to leave the traditional culture, and their ignorance is becoming a problem. The presence of the Interactive Cooking Game, named “Papasakan Interactive Cooking Game,” is expected to be an innovation that increases the knowledge and interest of the younger generation towards traditional Banten food. The research method used is the ADDIE method (analyze, design, development, implementation, evaluation). The respondents of this study included 76 students from the 10th and 11th grades of Senior High School. Various pieces of information about traditional food are obtained through observation and interviews. The results of this research led to the creation of Papasakan: Interactive Cooking Game, an innovative educational game to learn about Banten traditional food. This game contains five traditional foods, including Sate Bandeng from Serang, Rabeg from Cilegon, Mie Laksa from Tangerang, Kue Balok from Pandeglang, and Leumang from Lebak. This game includes the history, uniqueness, and the process of making traditional Banten food. Based on the implementation, the younger generation gave a positive response to the presence of this game. In addition, this game is also considered as an interesting media to introduce knowledge about traditional food to the younger generation.

Abstract

This article analyses Indonesia’s diplomacy at the United Nations (UN) in support of Tunisia’s decolonization from French colonial rule between 1951 and 1956. As a newly independent state and a recent member of the UN in the early 1950s, Indonesia strategically utilized the organization as a multilateral platform to articulate anti-colonial norms and to advocate the right to self-determination for colonized peoples. This study adopts historical methodology comprising heuristics, source criticism, interpretation, and historiographical reconstruction, drawing upon primary sources from UN archival documents and secondary sources from internationally indexed scholarly publications. The findings reveal that Indonesia acted as an active diplomatic advocate of Tunisian independence by consistently raising the issue within the UN and by forging strategic cooperation with Asian states. Indonesia’s diplomatic support for Tunisia constitutes a significant illustration of how a postcolonial state mobilised international legitimacy and multilateral pressure to challenge colonial domination. Furthermore, this engagement reflects the normative foundations of Indonesia’s ‘independent and active’ foreign policy and underscores the enduring significance of Asian solidarity rooted in shared experiences of colonial subjugation.

Abstract

This article examines Franz Wilhelm Junghuhn’s important contribution to the development of cinchona cultivation in the Dutch East Indies, now Indonesia. Junghuhn’s extensive expeditions in Java and Sumatra supported the successful adaptation and cultivation of cinchona, an important antimalarial plant, in the region. This article highlights his innovative methods and analyzes the economic, social, and political impacts of cinchona cultivation on the Dutch East Indies government and local communities. It concludes that Junghuhn’s work not only advanced botanical knowledge but also played a significant role in combating malaria and strengthening the colonial economy through cinchona exports.

Abstract

This study examines the philosophy underlying the Minangkabau matrilineal kinship system as a cultural heritage rich in meaning and social values. Using a qualitative descriptive approach and library research, the study finds that this system is not merely a social structure but also reflects gender balance, collective family responsibility, and a close relationship between custom and religion through the principle of adat basandi syarak, syarak basandi Kitabullah. Amid globalization and modernization, this philosophy remains relevant for strengthening cultural identity and shaping social character. The study therefore argues that understanding and preserving the philosophical foundations of the Minangkabau matrilineal kinship system is essential for sustaining the noble values of Indonesia’s cultural heritage.

Abstract

This study examines the implementation of spice-route history material in history learning in Grade X at SMK Negeri 1 Samarinda. It aims to describe how the material is implemented within the Merdeka Curriculum, including the teaching strategies used and students’ responses to the integration of spice-route material in history learning. This study uses a descriptive qualitative method, with data collected through observation, interviews, and documentation. The findings show that spice-route material is presented in Chapter 2 and functions as introductory material before broader topics, such as Hindu-Buddhist influence in Indonesia, are discussed. In the planning stage, teachers prepare Learning Outcomes (CP), Learning Objective Flow (ATP), and Teaching Modules. The learning resources used by teachers and students include school textbooks, articles, and other internet sources. The main obstacles faced by teachers and students are the limited availability of learning resources and restricted time allocation.

Abstract

This research aims to analyze the background behind the emergence of advertisements related to the processing of plantation commodities in newspapers, using Van Dijk's theoretical approach. The data sources for this study are the newspapers Pewarta Deli, Suara Dairi, and Surya Sibolga. The method used in this research is the historical method, which is examined through four stages, heuristics (source collection), data verification (validating sources), interpretation (analysis); and historiography. Data analysis is conducted using Van Dijk’s theory. The results of this research indicate that there is a connection between the advertisements for processed plantation commodities in the newspapers Pewarta Deli, Suara Dairi, and Surya Sibolga, and the implementation of the 1870 Agrarian Law by the Dutch East Indies government. These newspapers served as a platform to market or sell the abundant outputs of the plantation industry, which significantly increased due to the application of the 1870 Agrarian Law.

Abstract

This study examines the values of struggle in Galih Pranata’s novel Bunga di Hari Lalu through a sociological approach to literature. The novel not only presents the love story of Soediro and Prillie, but also portrays the social realities experienced by indigenous people in the Dutch East Indies in the early twentieth century. Soediro is depicted as an intellectual who struggles through education, literacy, and social awareness. The findings show values of resistance to discrimination, perseverance, nationalism, education as a means of struggle, and morality. These values remain relevant beyond the colonial context and may inspire the present generation in facing social and educational challenges. Bunga di Hari Lalu therefore functions not only as a literary work, but also as a historical reflection and a source of inspiration for intellectual struggle.
