Abstract

This study analyzes the representation of intersectional identity in the character Ember Lumen from Pixar’s film Elemental (2023), which expresses the complexity of race, gender, and social class dimensions in the life of a minority girl within an immigrant family. The background of this research highlights the significance of children’s films as a narrative arena capable of illustrating and reproducing the dynamics of social patriarchy and structural discrimination that restrict the freedom and self-identity construction of young women. The objective of this study is to describe how Ember’s character embodies acts of resistance against social and cultural pressures through the lens of Kimberlé Crenshaw’s intersectionality theory. A qualitative descriptive approach is employed using the critical film study method to analyze symbols, characters, and narrative elements in the film, focusing on their interactions within socio-cultural contexts. The findings reveal that Ember Lumen successfully resists familial patriarchy and socio-economic constraints to create personal agency and achieve identity transformation. This transformative process signifies a struggle for liberation from traditional norms and socially constructed gender roles within both family and society. The conclusion emphasizes that children’s films can function as a space for social critique and as a medium for gender emancipation among minority women. The implications of this research open new opportunities for developing studies on gender representation and intersectionality in popular media while enriching contemporary literary and children’s film theory.

Abstract

Political cartoons play a significant role in shaping public meaning because they can convery social criticism and ideology through brief yet powerful visual symbols. As a form of visual discourse, cartoons challenge dominant media narratives and open spaces for interpretation of political events. This study examines how Osama Hajjaj’s cartoons represent the Israel-Palestine conflict, focusing on the myth of Israel domination and oppression. Altough this conflict receives extensive coverage in international media, there remains a gap in understanding the contribution of visual media particularly political cartoons in shaping public perception and ideology. This research employs Roland Barthes’ semiotic theory to analyze Osama Hajjaj’s cartoons on the Israel-Palestine conflict, uploaded on Instagram between July 2024 and February 2025, with reports from The Guardian used a contextual data to interpret visual responses to ongoing discourse. The purpose of this study is to analyze Hajjaj’s cartoons using Barthes’ semiotics to uncover layers of denotative, connotative, and mythological meaning. The findings indicate consistent visual patterns at the denotative, connotative, and myth levels, revealing how the cartoons to empirical media coverage. In doing so, the cartoons are understood not only as symbolic representations but also as critical responses to international media narratives. The study concludes that Hajjaj’s  cartoons fuction as a form of visual resistance to media hegemony and hold educational potential in enhancing visual media literacy and critical awareness of the ideologies embedded in digital political representation.

Abstract

This study aims to develop and test the effectiveness of Augmented Reality (AR) flashcards to improve English vocabulary mastery for 25 students in the fifth-grade primary school. The research method used is Research and Development (R&D) with the ADDIE development model that includes the stages of Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation. Data collection was carried out through questionnaires, and vocabulary tests before and after treatment. The results of the study indicate that AR flashcards are very effective in supporting vocabulary learning. Validation by material experts showed a feasibility level of 93%, indicating that the content in this media is accurate, relevant, organized coherently, and appropriate to the level of cognitive development of students. Media experts also assessed AR flashcards as valid in terms of visual appearance and functionality. Teachers gave very positive responses, especially in aspects of media use and management in the classroom. Students showed high engagement, enjoyment, and increased learning motivation during learning with this media, although some experienced difficulties in understanding the language used. The test results showed a significant increase in vocabulary mastery, from 40% in the pre-cycle to 92% in the third cycle. These findings demonstrate that AR flashcards are effective and technologically innovative. The implications of this study suggest that AR flashcards can be an alternative contextual and student-centered learning medium in accordance with the Independent Curriculum. However, limitations include the limited number of subjects and the need for simplified language. Further research is recommended for broader coverage and long-term evaluation.

Abstract

Rapid advances in artificial intelligence (AI) have reshaped language education and raised new questions about how AI interacts with digital literacy and critical thinking development. This study presents a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) following PRISMA 2020, examining Scopus-indexed articles published between 2015–2025. A total of 58 records were identified, 44 were screened, and 14 full-text studies were included for qualitative thematic synthesis. The findings reveal that AI literacy, digital literacy, and critical thinking operate as an interdependent cognitive ecosystem in language learning: AI functions as a cognitive mediator that can stimulate analytical reasoning; digital literacy equips learners to navigate and evaluate multimodal information; and critical thinking serves as an epistemic and ethical filter for responsible meaning-making. Effective pedagogical strategies identified include AI-supported inquiry, reflective scaffolding, and project-based digital literacy tasks, with teachers and virtual communities of practice serving as ethical mediators and collaborative support structures. Key challenges—cognitive offloading, algorithmic bias, and digital divides—pose risks to learner autonomy and equitable learning outcomes. To bridge these issues, this review proposes the AI-Enhanced Critical Literacy Pedagogy (AICLP) model, offering an integrative framework that connects cognitive, reflective, and ethical dimensions for strengthening critical thinking in AI-mediated language education. The model provides theoretical grounding and practical guidance for curriculum design, teacher development, and education policy in the digital era.

Abstract

This research is motivated by the importance of associative meaning in poetry as a formative element of imaginative power, emotion, and linguistic creativity. However, there has been limited research systematizing associative meaning techniques as a model for poetry writing instruction. This study aims to analyze associative meaning techniques in Chairil Anwar's poems and formulate their implications for poetry writing instruction. This research employs a qualitative descriptive design with semantic analysis of eight selected poems from the collection Aku Ini Binatang Jalang (I Am a Wild Animal). Data were collected through repeated reading and note-taking techniques, while data analysis was conducted through componential analysis, referential analysis, and meaning verification using KBBI (the Indonesian Dictionary). The research findings indicate that there are three dominant techniques in the development of associative meaning in Chairil Anwar's poetry: meaning components, rewriting, and synonymy. The synonymy technique is the most frequently used, followed by rewriting and meaning components. These findings demonstrate that associative meaning plays a crucial role in strengthening the expressive power and semantic depth of poetry. These findings have implications for poetry writing instruction, namely the need for explicit teaching of associative techniques to help students enrich their diction choices and expand semantic creativity in their poetic works.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the character education discourse reflected through the main character, Enong, in the novel Padang Bulan by Andrea Hirata using F.W. Foerster's character education theory. The methodological approach employed is discourse analysis with descriptive qualitative methods. The research data consist of narrative excerpts and dialogues reflecting the character values of Enong, which are then classified based on Foerster's four main principles: orderliness (discipline), adherence to values (obedience to values), loyalty, and integrity of life (unity of life). The research findings indicate that the character education discourse in this novel is manifested through two main aspects: learning motivation and hard work. Learning motivation is reflected in Enong's enthusiasm for continuously pursuing knowledge, diligence in self-directed learning, and loyalty to her aspirations despite living in economic and social limitations. Meanwhile, the value of hard work is evident in Enong's persistence in bearing the family's economic burden, courage in taking on the role of a tin prospector, and resilience in facing failure without giving up. All four of Foerster's principles are consistently present in Enong's actions and words, demonstrating the integration of moral, intellectual, and social values. This study concludes that Andrea Hirata successfully constructs a humanistic character education discourse through the figure of Enong as a representation of a resilient, independent, and educated woman. These findings are relevant for use as literary teaching materials in character education learning in schools because they contain universal values such as discipline, responsibility, determination, and loyalty to one's aspirations.

Abstract

The phenomenon of the representation of local beliefs in modern Indonesian films shows a tendency to combine traditional elements with contemporary storytelling styles, but studies that specifically examine this combination through the perspective of magical realism are still limited. This study aims to reveal how the film Sumala  (2024) represents Javanese beliefs through three main elements of magical realism according to Wendy B. Faris, namely the irreducible element, merging realms, and disruptions of time, space, and identity. The study uses a qualitative descriptive method with data sources in the form of scenes, Dialogues, and visual symbols in the film. Data are analyzed through a process of reduction, classification, interpretation, and drawing conclusions based on the theory of magical realism and the concept of Javanese beliefs. The results show that Sumala presents magical objects, spiritual rituals, and human interactions with spirits as magical elements that are naturally accepted in the story world. This representation illustrates the Javanese view of life that emphasizes the balance between the rough universe and the subtle universe as an important part of the cosmological order. This study concludes that the magical elements in Sumala not only function as narrative aesthetics but also play an important role in preserving Javanese spiritual and cultural values. This finding has implications for strengthening film and cultural studies, particularly regarding the representation of local wisdom in modern Indonesian cinema.

Abstract

The use of E-Modules is not new for educators; however, there remains a limited number of studies that specifically develop Flipbook-based interactive modules integrating local cultural values to enhance elementary students’ fiction writing skills. This study aims to evaluate the feasibility of the interactive E-Module “Andum Alpukat” as a learning medium, employing a research and development (R&D) design that combines qualitative and quantitative approaches. The development process involved validation by material experts, module design experts, peer reviewers, and trials conducted individually, in small groups, and in large groups with fifth-grade students at SD Negeri Pulosari 1 Bareng Jombang. The findings reveal that the module received a feasibility score of 75% from material experts, 93.75% from design experts, 97.5% from peer reviewers, and 89.99% based on student responses. These results indicate that the “Andum Alpukat” interactive E-Module is both feasible and effective in improving students’ fiction writing skills. The study concludes that a modified Flipbook aligned with students’ learning needs can produce a high-quality and engaging instructional medium. The implications of this study suggest that similar modules have strong potential for broader implementation within Merdeka Curriculum–oriented classrooms and for fostering culturally grounded creativity in fiction writing to strengthen meaningful learning experiences.

Abstract

This study explores the impact of social media on the gender identity development of Generation Z, focusing on the opportunities and challenges these platforms present in shaping young people's understanding of gender. Generation Z, born between 1997 and 2012, is the first generation to grow up in an era of pervasive digital connectivity, where social media platforms offer unprecedented spaces for self-expression and identity exploration. These platforms enable young people to engage with diverse gender identities, including non-binary and gender-fluid expressions, which are often marginalized in offline spaces. However, while social media provides opportunities for authentic self-expression, it also amplifies societal pressures to conform to idealized gender norms. The tension between digital empowerment and offline societal expectations creates a complex environment for Generation Z, where they must navigate conflicting gender narratives. This study employs a descriptive qualitative approach, utilizing documentary analysis of social media content and academic literature to identify key themes related to gender identity formation, societal pressures, and the intersectionality of gender with cultural, social, and psychological factors. The findings suggest that, while social media plays a critical role in empowering young people to explore diverse gender expressions, it also exposes them to identity conflicts and psychological challenges, particularly when offline societal norms resist these new identities. The study calls for greater support systems, both online and offline, to help young people navigate these complexities and embrace their gender identities freely and authentically.
