Abstract

The Baliem Valley in Papua, Indonesia, presents unique socio-cultural and educational challenges. Predominantly influenced by its diverse ethnic compositions and traditional practices, the region faces significant educational disparities, especially between its rural and urban areas. This study aims to develop an integrated educational model that respects and incorporates local cultural values, thereby enhancing the educational framework and outcomes for the Baliem Valley's populace. Methodologically, this research employs a literature review and content analysis approach, analyzing existing studies and data regarding socio-cultural dynamics and educational challenges in the region. The sources span scholarly articles, government reports, and credible online databases, ensuring a comprehensive understanding of the context. The findings reveal a critical gap in educational resources, with rural areas particularly disadvantaged regarding infrastructure, teacher availability, and access to educational materials. Economically, a high percentage of families below the poverty line further exacerbates educational access and quality, resulting in high dropout rates. Additionally, the study highlights the importance of cultural relevance in education, suggesting that integrating indigenous languages and local knowledge into the curriculum significantly enhances student engagement and learning outcomes. Based on these insights, the study recommends several strategies to improve education in the Baliem Valley: (1) developing curricula that reflect local cultures and languages, (2) enhancing teacher training to foster an understanding and appreciation of local traditions, and (3) increasing community involvement in the educational process to ensure that educational reforms are culturally congruent and locally supported. Conclusively, this research emphasizes the necessity of a culturally integrated educational model that not only addresses infrastructural and economic challenges but also respects and preserves the rich cultural heritage of the Baliem Valley. Implementing such a model could substantially improve educational outcomes and support sustainable development in the region.

Abstract

This study aims to explore how social media affects the pragmatic comprehension of students at the University of Muhammadiyah Tangerang (UMT). Specifically, it investigates how platforms like Instagram, WhatsApp, Telegram, and TikTok influence students' ability to use language proficiently in diverse social contexts. The research employed qualitative methods, including in-depth interviews and questionnaires administered to 17 students in the English education program at UMT. The study found that 47.1% of respondents strongly agreed that social media positively impacts their pragmatic knowledge, while 41.2% agreed, indicating a general consensus on its benefits. Additionally, 76% of students reported that engaging in social media interactions heightened their awareness of socio-pragmatic norms, and 72% found their language learning experiences more interactive and engaging due to social media. These findings suggest that social media platforms can enhance pragmatic skills through informal and diverse language interactions. The study concludes by advocating for the incorporation of social media into language education to bridge the gap between formal education and real-world communication, thereby improving overall learning and pragmatic competence

Abstract

The objective of this study was to evaluate the influence of behavioristic counseling on students' toxic relationships. A quantitative research design with a One Group Pre-test Post-test approach was employed to measure the effect of the counseling intervention on eighth-grade students at SMPN 4 Mataram. The population consisted of 378 students, with a sample of 96 selected based on high levels of toxic relationship behaviors. Data collection involved a validated questionnaire, observations, interviews, and documentation reviews. The intervention included three sessions of behavioristic counseling focusing on modeling techniques. Data analysis was performed using a t-test to compare pre-test and post-test scores. Results indicated significant improvements in students' behaviors post-intervention, with a majority showing reduced levels of toxic relationship behaviors. The t-test analysis confirmed the intervention's effectiveness, with a t-value of 7.459, surpassing the critical value of 2.262. The study recommends implementing behavioristic counseling in schools to address toxic relationships, emphasizing the need for personalized approaches to cater to individual student needs. These findings highlight the potential of behavioral counseling to improve students' social interactions and overall well-being, suggesting further research to refine and expand this intervention method.

Abstract

The misuse of borax in food is a critical issue due to its significant health risks. This research aimed to develop guided inquiry-based student worksheets (LKS) on the concept of borax to enhance students' knowledge and skills in food safety. The study employed the 4-D development model, which includes defining, designing, developing, and disseminating stages. Conducted with 30 eighth-grade students at SMPI Sabilal Muhtadin NW Lopok, the research utilized validation sheets, questionnaires, knowledge tests, observation sheets, and documentation for data collection. Validation results indicated that the developed LKS is highly feasible with a 92.5% feasibility score. Teachers and students provided positive feedback, rating the LKS as highly feasible in material quality, presentation, and attractiveness. The knowledge test scores averaged 81.97, indicating a significant improvement in students' understanding of food safety. Additionally, the skills assessment showed an average score of 85.2, categorizing students as highly skilled in food safety practices. The findings demonstrate that the guided inquiry-based LKS effectively enhances students' food safety knowledge and skills. However, the study highlights the need for individualized learning approaches to address varying student abilities. The research concludes that innovative teaching tools like guided inquiry-based LKS are effective in improving educational outcomes. Recommendations include further development and use of such LKS in other subjects to provide meaningful and engaging learning experiences. Future research should consider broader participant demographics to enhance generalizability.
