<![CDATA[Mathematics constitutes a vital foundation in maritime education, serving as an essential tool for ensuring safety, operational efficiency, and sustainability in the shipping industry. Its applications extend to critical areas such as route optimization, cost reduction, and environmental protection. Nevertheless, applied mathematics is often perceived as one of the most challenging subjects for nautical students, largely because of the difficulty in linking abstract concepts to practical, real-world maritime problems. This learning gap highlights the need for pedagogical strategies that can transform theoretical knowledge into tangible applications relevant to the maritime field. Project-Based Learning (PBL) has emerged as an effective instructional approach to address these challenges by promoting active learning, enhancing problem-solving abilities, and fostering both creativity and critical thinking. In maritime education, PBL can be particularly impactful in teaching complex topics such as ship stability, where mathematical principles play a central role. Ship stability, especially in relation to intact conditions, is crucial in vessel design and operation, as it determines a ship’s capacity to resist external forces and recover equilibrium. A key mathematical component of this process is the calculation of a vessel’s center of mass, which integrates mass distribution across structural components and loading conditions. By constructing ship models and applying coordinate-based methods, students can connect theoretical mathematics with practical stability analysis. This experiential approach not only deepens conceptual understanding but also equips future maritime professionals with the analytical competencies essential for safe and efficient operations in the global shipping environment.]]>

<![CDATA[This study was motivated by the low motivation and learning outcomes of elementary school students in mathematics, particularly in social arithmetic, as well as the limited integration of digital technology in classroom instruction. The research aimed to develop interactive mobile learning (ML) media that is engaging, user-friendly, and aligned with the curriculum to enhance students’ motivation and achievement. The study employed a research and development (R&D) method using the ADDIE model through the stages of analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation. Validation by media and content experts ensured technical quality and content accuracy. A quasi-experimental design with a pretest–posttest control group was implemented. The results revealed a significant improvement in the experimental group, with the mean posttest score rising from 40.97 to 72.47, while the control group increased by only 4.99 points. Paired t-test and ANCOVA confirmed these differences, and the motivation questionnaire demonstrated high reliability (Cronbach’s Alpha >0.88). Observations and interviews supported the quantitative findings, showing increased engagement, independence, and teacher–student interaction. The interactive ML media proved effective, feasible, and ready for broader implementation as a digital learning innovation supporting 21st-century educational transformation]]>

<![CDATA[Maritime English is essential for safe and effective communication in the global shipping industry, particularly in multilingual crew environments. Despite its significance, many cadets struggle to master technical maritime vocabulary due to traditional teaching approaches that prioritize grammar and general conversation. This study investigates the effectiveness of Project-Based Learning (PBL) in enhancing cadets’ mastery of maritime English technical vocabulary at Sorong Merchant Marine Polytechnic. Using a pre-test and post-test design, 20 cadets participated in simulation-based projects involving navigation planning, safety procedures, and maritime reporting. The results revealed a significant improvement in vocabulary acquisition, with average scores rising from 50.2% in the pre-test to 78.0% in the post-test. Statistical analysis using a paired-sample t-test confirmed the significance of this increase (p < 0.05). The findings suggest that PBL not only improves technical vocabulary comprehension but also supports the development of practical communication skills, critical thinking, and teamwork key competencies in maritime professions. This study recommends the integration of PBL into Maritime English curricula to better prepare cadets for real-world operational demands.]]>

<![CDATA[The process of completing an undergraduate thesis remains a significant challenge for students, particularly in translating research data into a coherent scientific paper. Difficulties often arise in managing data obtained from questionnaires, interviews, and documentation, leading to uncertainty about the initial and subsequent steps in academic writing. This study aims to explore the challenges students face in thesis writing and the role of academic supervisors in supporting the process. Employing a descriptive qualitative approach, the research was conducted at the Institute of Teacher Training and Technology (Institut Keguruan dan Teknologi) Larantuka, East Flores Regency, involving eighth-semester students and academic supervisors selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation, and analyzed using Miles and Huberman’s interactive model. The findings indicate that students’ difficulties are influenced by internal factors including challenges in topic selection, limited references, time management, lack of research experience, and psychological barriers and external factors, such as inadequate supervision, unsupportive environments, and insufficient faculty-level management. The study concludes that thesis completion is shaped by both individual capabilities and external support systems. Strengthening academic writing practices, improving supervision strategies, and providing institutional support through workshops and structured guidance are crucial for facilitating effective and timely thesis completion. The implications of this study emphasize the importance of collaborative efforts among students, supervisors, and higher education institutions to enhance the quality and efficiency of undergraduate thesis writing.]]>

<![CDATA[Literary works are a depiction of human life through the outpouring of expression and thought. The ideology of heroism is one ideology that can be found in every Indonesian novel. However, there is a phenomenon of the interpretation of the ideology of heroism by teachers that is still confusing. Based on this problem, teachers are needed to be open in interpreting the ideology of heroism. The right solution is through the reception of the ideology of heroism in the novel Orang Miskin Dilarang Sekolah (Poor People Are Forbidden to Go to School). The approach of this research is the sociology of literature by adopting the research design of Moser (1989:1799-1825). The results of the reception of the ideology of heroism of SMK teachers in Tegal Regency towards the novel Orang Miskin Dilarang Sekolah by Eko Prasetyo based on gender classification show several differences. According to male teachers, heroism is interpreted in the form of love for the country, upholding unity, expertise in using knowledge as a weapon, and loyalty to principles. Meanwhile, according to female teachers, heroism appears in the form of prioritizing common interests, willingness to sacrifice, and sincerity. However, both agree that heroism also involves fighting for the rights of others and having a fighting spirit.]]>

<![CDATA[This study explores the development of intercultural competence (ICC) among Indonesian exchange students in South Korea and the United States, focusing on their experiences of cultural adaptation and the development of key intercultural skills. Employing a qualitative research design, the study utilized semi-structured interviews with 20 Indonesian students to investigate how they navigated cultural differences and adapted to new environments. The results identify three key dimensions of ICC: emotional sensitivity, cultural awareness, and intercultural adaptability. Emotional sensitivity was crucial for managing culture shock and emotional adaptation to the host culture. Cultural awareness, which involved recognizing and understanding cultural differences, enabled students to adjust their perceptions and behaviors. Intercultural adaptability, the ability to modify communication styles and social practices, was essential for effective engagement in both academic and social settings. The study contributes to the existing body of literature on international student experiences by providing insights into the specific challenges faced by Indonesian students and offering practical recommendations for improving support systems to foster intercultural competence. The findings highlight the dynamic nature of ICC as a process that evolves through emotional, cognitive, and behavioral adjustments. Future research should focus on the long-term impacts of intercultural experiences on students' personal and professional lives, as well as the role of cultural contexts in shaping ICC development.]]>
