Abstract

This study aims to analyze the interest and perceptions of teacher welfare among 52 respondents. Quantitative analysis revealed that 69.2% of respondents are highly interested in becoming teachers, while 30.8% are moderately interested. These findings reflect a strong commitment from the younger generation toward the teaching profession, despite significant concerns about financial welfare. Qualitative analysis identified two main themes: financial welfare and personal motivation. Many respondents felt that the salary they receive is not proportional to the responsibilities they bear, while intrinsic motivation, such as a desire to contribute to education, serves as a major driving factor in choosing this career. This study aligns with previous findings emphasizing the importance of financial welfare in job satisfaction for teachers but also offers new insights by highlighting personal motivation as a decisive factor. The conclusion of this research suggests that greater attention to teachers' financial welfare is necessary to attract high-quality individuals to the teaching profession and to create a better learning environment. Recommendations for policymakers include increasing compensation and support for teachers while considering their intrinsic motivations.

Abstract

This study was conducted with a qualitative approach aimed at understanding individual perspectives, identifying and describing processes, and exploring limited research topics or backgrounds with detailed information. The background of this topic selection is to measure the level of sexual knowledge of adolescents in Medan and Tantang, analyze their behavior patterns, and analyze the relationship of sexual behavior with the level of sexual knowledge of adolescents. This study used a type of qualitative research that was descriptive. The study subjects used in this study were all adolescents in Tungan Medan. Researchers choose purposive sampling methods when selecting research subjects. The data collection techniques used in this study were the spread of questionnaires and the data collection tools used were questionnaires or questions. Research results show that some teens are already pregnant with sexual knowledge, but some teens lack sufficient knowledge. The consequence of this is that adolescents can commit reckless sexual behavior, such as premarital sex with their spouses. Therefore, it is important to provide comprehensive sex education to adolescents, covering aspects such as body anatomy, reproductive health, and sexual knowledge. In addition, adolescents have access to accurate and reliable information about sex through school education, access to reliable information sources, and open communication between adolescents and their parents.

Abstract

This study aims to implement game-based learning in the equivalency program at PKBM Al-Ikhram, focusing on the use of Wordwall game media. The research method used is descriptive qualitative through observation and interviews. The results of the study indicate that game-based learning is effective in increasing students' motivation, enthusiasm, and understanding of the material. Learning using Wordwall games not only makes the learning process more interactive and enjoyable, but also helps students improve their numeracy and literacy skills. This positive impact is seen in the increase in student learning outcomes in formative and summative tests. However, this implementation faces challenges such as limited access to technology and the need for training for students and teachers. Overall, game-based learning is a relevant and effective alternative in improving the quality of non-formal education in equivalency programs in the digital era.

Abstract

This study explores the readiness of preservice teacher students to integrate local wisdom into mathematics instruction. With the growing emphasis on culturally relevant pedagogy, this research seeks to understand how PGSD students at Universitas Negeri Medan perceive the role of local wisdom in teaching mathematics. The study specifically examines students’ awareness of local cultural practices, their perceptions of the relevance of integrating these practices into math instruction, and their self-assessed confidence in applying such knowledge. A stratified random sampling technique was employed to select second- and third-year students enrolled in mathematics education courses. Data was collected through a structured Likert-scale questionnaire. The findings reveal that while students generally show high awareness and positive perceptions of local wisdom, some aspects, particularly those related to its practical application in mathematics, still require further development. Furthermore, students’ confidence in integrating local wisdom into their teaching practice varied, with some expressing uncertainty. The study concludes that although preservice teachers acknowledge the value of local wisdom, their readiness to implement it in the classroom requires more targeted training and exposure.

Abstract

This qualitative study explores the influence of digital literacy on microtransaction decision-making among university students engaged in online gaming. This demographic is significant as they exhibit varying levels of digital literacy and are key consumers in the gaming market. Through in-depth interviews with three purposively selected participants who have been active gamers for over five years, we analyze how digital literacy impacts behaviors related to virtual items. The findings indicate that students with higher digital literacy are better equipped to make informed purchasing decisions. In contrast, those with lower digital literacy struggle to discern reliable information, leading to impulsive buying behaviors and financial regret. The study highlights the important role of social influences and emotional engagement in spending decisions. Peer pressure and the desire for social acceptance often drive participants to make purchases that align with their friends’ behaviors, while emotional connections to games increase susceptibility to impulse buying. In conclusion, this research emphasizes the need to enhance digital literacy among gamers to empower informed financial decisions. By promoting digital skills, stakeholders can foster a healthier gaming environment that encourages responsible spending practices. Targeted educational initiatives are recommended to equip players with the tools necessary to navigate the complexities of microtransactions effectively, ultimately fostering more sustainable gaming habits
