Abstract

This study examines the moral messages embedded in the Indonesian film Ngeri-Ngeri Sedap through the lens of Roland Barthes’ semiotic theory. As a culturally significant cinematic work, the film reflects the familial tensions and sociocultural dynamics of the Batak community. The research addresses the central question: how are moral values constructed and communicated via signs, codes, and myths within the film’s narrative and visual elements? Employing qualitative content analysis and Barthes’ two-level signification model—denotation and connotation—the study analyzes selected scenes, dialogues, and character interactions. The findings indicate that moral themes such as parental expectations, communication gaps, cultural identity, and reconciliation are conveyed through symbolic representations, traditional practices, and dramatic conflicts. These semiotic expressions function within a broader ideological discourse, reinforcing the importance of empathy, mutual respect, and intergenerational understanding. The study concludes that Ngeri-Ngeri Sedap utilizes a multilayered semiotic structure to deliver implicit moral commentary, offering critical insights into Indonesian familial and cultural narratives. This research contributes to the field of media studies by demonstrating the efficacy of semiotic analysis in uncovering deeper ideological meanings in contemporary film.

Abstract

Teaching is a dynamic and creative process, requiring educators to plan and deliver instruction that not only avoids monotony but also actively engages students in learning. In the context of science education for prospective elementary school teachers, varied instructional approaches—particularly the process skills approach—are essential. This study aims to examine the ability of Primary School Teacher Education (PGSD) students to implement the process skills approach during classroom teaching simulations in science subjects. Employing a descriptive qualitative method, data were obtained through assessments of students’ lesson plans and their simulation performances. The subject matter focused on energy topics for fourth-grade elementary students. The findings reveal that 70% of the lesson plans met the 'good' criteria and 30% were rated 'sufficient', with an average score of 80.40. In terms of simulation performance, 39% of students demonstrated an 'excellent' application of the process skills approach, 31% were categorized as 'good', 23% as 'sufficient', and 8% as 'poor', yielding an overall average score of 80.71. These results indicate a generally strong ability among PGSD students to design and simulate science instruction using the process skills approach, though a small proportion still requires significant improvement.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the enhancement of student skills in science learning through the application of the Student Facilitator and Explaining model in elementary education. Employing a classroom action research approach, the study was conducted in two cycles, each comprising stages of planning, implementation, observation, and reflection. If the targeted learning outcomes in the first cycle were not achieved, adjustments were made and continued into the second cycle. The results indicate that the implementation of this interactive learning model significantly improved students’ abilities, particularly in constructing diagrams or concept maps related to the photosynthesis process. Prior to the intervention, only 30% of students demonstrated sufficient competency. Following the first cycle, the average student performance increased to 80%, and in the second cycle, it further improved to 80.95%, reaching the "skilled" category. These findings suggest that the Student Facilitator and Explaining model effectively enhances student engagement and conceptual understanding in science education at the elementary level. Consequently, this approach can be considered a viable strategy for improving learning outcomes and fostering active participation among young learners.
