Abstract

Education must integrate local wisdom to prevent cultural values ​​from fading in the era of globalization. The Merdeka Curriculum supports this with the flexibility to emphasize character education and independence. Digital teaching materials based on local wisdom, such as short story texts, can improve students' reading, writing and cultural understanding skills. The aim of this research is to develop and test digital teaching materials for short story texts based on local wisdom for junior high school students. This research used the ADDIE method with the help of 2 media and language validators as well as 6 students and 3 teachers in testing teaching materials. Data collection techniques were carried out using questionnaires, interviews and documentation. The teaching material design process begins with an analysis of student needs and the curriculum, followed by creating a storyboard and validation by two validators who state that the teaching material is very worthy of being tested. The implementation of local wisdom-based teaching materials shows high effectiveness, with student responses reaching 90% and teacher responses 87%, both in the very good category.

Abstract

The counseling process has been significantly changed by advances in information and communication technology. The digital era has paved the way for virtual counseling services, which allow wider, more flexible, and anonymous access for those who need it, especially students. One of the important services provided to students to support their emotional, social, and academic growth is counseling. Counseling in higher education is increasingly being done virtually due to the rapid development of information technology. The purpose of this study is to investigate the dynamics of interpersonal relationships in virtual counseling, find problems, and find opportunities and intervention strategies that may be used in this situation. It is important to understand these challenges and create useful solutions for them. Some of the main problems that are often faced include difficulties in building strong emotional relationships, limitations in non-verbal interactions, and technical problems that can interfere with communication. The research method is a qualitative descriptive method by taking data from several libraries that are used as consideration. After reviewing the literature from various related research sources, this article concludes that although virtual counseling services present some technical problems and limitations in non-verbal interactions, they also offer greater opportunities. Appropriate intervention strategies include technology skills training, use of safe platforms, and approaches that rely more on effective communication skills.

Abstract

Corruption is a reality of human conduct in social interactions, considered to be deviating and endangering society and the state. The research conducted is normative-legal, that is, research that uses law as a basis for solving the problems posed, and empirical-legal research through the conduct of interviews. The data used is secondary data and the data collection methods used in this study are library surveys and field surveys. The analysis of data used is qualitative data. Based on the findings, it is believed that the Anti-Corruption Commission can only investigate cases of corruption offenses that have affected state apparatus and have resulted in state financial losses of at least billion rupiah, for this reason the role of prosecutors as investigators in criminal cases is required. Corruption that does not meet the requirements for investigation by the Anti-Corruption Commission. Legal and Non-Judicial Constraints Are Limiting Factors in Corruption Crimes Investigations

Abstract

Social skills are very important for the development of elementary school children. Traditional play therapy offers an alternative method for education that has the potential to improve social skills through group interactions and real-life experiences. This is different from the conventional approach which often centers on academic aspects. The aim of this study was to evaluate how effective traditional play therapy is in improving the social skills of children in elementary school and compare it with more conventional methods. This is the experimental design used for this study with a control group. Children in elementary school are divided into two groups. The experimental group received traditional play therapy, while the control group carried out routine activities. Data was collected through teacher observations, assessments, and social skills questionnaires before and after six weeks of intervention. The results of the analysis showed that, compared with the control group, the experimental group showed significant improvements in social skills. Communication, cooperation and conflict resolution show improvement. These results indicate that traditional play therapy is effective in improving the social skills of elementary school children. According to this research, traditional play therapy can be included in the school curriculum as a tool to improve social skills in a comprehensive and enjoyable way.

Abstract

Educational innovation continues to develop with advances in digital technology, including the use of Augmented Reality (AR) in learning. This research aims to measure the effectiveness of AR-based mathematics books (MathAR Book) on students' mathematical understanding. MathAR Book integrates traditional learning content with AR elements such as 3D visualization and interactive animations to increase student interest and engagement in learning mathematics. This research methodology uses a quasi-experimental approach with a pretest-posttest design. The sample consisted of class XII students who were randomly selected and divided into an experimental group that used the MathAR Book and a control group that used conventional textbooks. The instruments used include tests of understanding mathematical concepts, learning motivation questionnaires, and in-depth interviews. The results showed a significant increase in students' mathematical understanding in the experimental group compared to the control group. MathAR Book students also showed increased learning motivation and concept visualization abilities. Student feedback indicates that AR creates a more engaging and effective learning environment. In conclusion, the MathAR Book effectively improves students' mathematical understanding.
