Abstract

Feminist literary criticism provides a framework to explore how women’s experiences, agency, and constraints are represented in literature, particularly in contexts where patriarchal values remain dominant. This study aimed to analyze the representation of feminism and gender stereotypes in Nadzira Shafa’s novel 172 Days, Aku Ikhlas Tapi Aku Rindu, a contemporary Indonesian popular literary work inspired by autobiographical experiences. A qualitative descriptive method with content analysis was employed, using the novel as the primary data source, supported by secondary literature on feminism and gender studies. Data were collected through systematic reading, annotation, and categorization of textual excerpts, which were then analyzed using feminist literary theory to identify recurring themes of women’s agency and stereotype reproduction. The findings revealed that the novel reflects feminist values through portrayals of independence, resilience, and women’s rights to education and self-expression, yet simultaneously reinforces traditional stereotypes of subordination, dependency, and negative labeling. This duality illustrates the coexistence of progressive and patriarchal discourses within contemporary Indonesian literature. The novelty of this research lies in its focus on a modern, widely read, autobiographical-inspired novel, which has received little scholarly attention in feminist criticism compared to canonical works. The results imply that popular literature can serve as a powerful medium for negotiating cultural understandings of gender, and that educators, researchers, and policymakers should pay closer attention to such texts as instruments for raising awareness of gender equality and challenging stereotypes in society.

Abstract

This study reconstructs the planning, enactment, and immediate consequences of scorched-earth (bumi hangus) operations in Bengkulu during Indonesia’s Revolutionary War (1945–1949), situating Colonel Barlian’s leadership within the intertwined logics of coercion and protection under severe resource constraints. Using a qualitative, microhistorical case design, we compiled multi-source evidence archival dispatches and administrative minutes, wartime press and photographs, memoirs, local chronicles, and a small set of oral-history interviews screened by provenance and subjected to systematic source criticism. Analysis combined event chronology, inductive coding, and process tracing to link command intent, inter-organizational coordination, engineering practice, and short-term outcomes, with cross-source triangulation and retention of negative cases to test rival explanations. Results indicate that denial measures were calibrated rather than ad hoc: targeted bridge demolitions, controlled destruction of administrative assets, and route obstruction were synchronized with civilian movement to slow mechanized advance, deny administrative utility, and signal non-cooperation; learning effects were evident in the shift from earlier demolition failures to engineer-guided weak-point targeting, and intermediary civic organizations proved crucial for logistics, reception, and communication. We conclude that Bengkulu’s bumi hangus constituted a bounded defensive repertoire embedded in local geography, logistics, and institutional capacity, and that representational scarcity (thin visual archives) has contributed to its underrepresentation relative to Java-centric narratives. Limitations include single-site scope, fragmentary and sometimes propagandistic sources, and the absence of systematic engineering logs despite mitigation via triangulation and weighting by credibility. Implications: decolonization historiography should systematically incorporate defensive signaling and infrastructure denial alongside offensive episodes; archival recovery should prioritize provincial visual/technical records; and future research should extend comparative testing across coastal Sumatra, integrate Dutch–Indonesian technical logs to estimate delay effects, and develop geospatial reconstructions linking demolition sequencing, route interdictions, and civilian protection at scale.

Abstract

Writing is a fundamental language skill that plays a critical role in shaping students’ ability to communicate ideas effectively, yet many junior high school students struggle with descriptive writing due to limited vocabulary, lack of imagination, and monotonous teaching methods. This study aimed to examine the effect of integrating Bengkulu cultural portraits as visual media on the descriptive writing ability of seventh-grade students at MTs Ja-Alhaq Bengkulu. A quasi-experimental design was employed with two groups: the experimental group (n = 25) was taught using Bengkulu cultural portraits, while the control group (n = 25) received instruction through conventional methods. Data were collected through pretests and posttests and analyzed using normality, homogeneity, paired-sample t-tests, independent-sample t-tests, and N-Gain scores with the aid of SPSS 25.0. The results demonstrated that the experimental group achieved a higher posttest mean score (M = 76.84) compared to the control group (M = 60.68), with an N-Gain of 0.4656 (47%), indicating a moderate level of effectiveness. Statistical analysis confirmed a significant difference (p = 0.001 < 0.05), showing that the use of Bengkulu cultural portraits substantially improved students’ descriptive writing performance. These findings suggest that integrating local cultural media not only enhances students’ cognitive outcomes in writing but also fosters engagement and cultural awareness. The novelty of this research lies in its focus on Bengkulu cultural artifacts as a contextualized teaching medium, which has been underexplored in previous studies. The implications highlight the importance for educators and policymakers to incorporate local cultural resources into language learning curricula as a strategy to improve academic achievement while simultaneously preserving cultural heritage.

Abstract

Spoken language competence is essential for students to adapt to different social and academic contexts, yet many learners face challenges in shifting between formal and non-formal communication registers. This study aimed to analyze differences in spoken language use between formal and non-formal communication contexts among eighth-grade students at MTsN 1 Mukomuko. Using a quantitative ex post facto design, data were collected from 62 students, consisting of 17 in formal situations and 45 in non-formal situations, through questionnaires, observations, documentation, and interviews. The instruments were validated through Pearson’s Product-Moment correlation and achieved strong reliability with a Cronbach’s Alpha coefficient of 0.848. Data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics, including tests of normality, homogeneity, and independent-sample t-tests with a significance threshold of p < 0.05. The results revealed a significant difference in students’ spoken language performance between the two contexts, with higher mean scores observed in non-formal situations (M = 31.46) compared to formal situations (M = 28.70), and the t-test result (t = -2.226, p = 0.030) confirmed the hypothesis. These findings indicate that students display more flexible, expressive, and spontaneous linguistic patterns in non-formal communication, whereas formal contexts require structured and rule-based expression. The novelty of this study lies in its systematic comparison of formal and non-formal spoken language within the same population, offering insights rarely addressed in Indonesian educational research. The implications suggest that educators should design balanced pedagogical strategies that foster both formal accuracy and non-formal fluency to strengthen students’ overall oral communication skills.

Abstract

Cooperative learning models have been widely recognized as effective strategies to enhance student achievement, yet their application in Indonesian language instruction at the junior secondary level remains limited. This study aimed to examine the effect of the Student Teams Achievement Division (STAD) cooperative learning model on the learning outcomes of eighth-grade students at MTs Negeri 2 Kepahiang. Employing a quasi-experimental design with a non-equivalent control group, the study involved two classes, with one serving as the experimental group taught using STAD (n = 30) and the other as the control group taught using conventional methods (n = 26). Data were collected through pretests and posttests consisting of 15 multiple-choice items aligned with the curriculum, validated through Pearson’s Product-Moment correlation, and tested for reliability using Cronbach’s Alpha. Statistical analysis using IBM SPSS version 25 included normality and homogeneity tests, paired-sample t-tests, independent-sample t-tests, and N-Gain analysis at a significance level of p < 0.05. The results showed that the experimental group achieved a significantly higher posttest mean score (M = 12.80) compared to the control group (M = 7.34), with the independent-sample t-test confirming a significant difference (p = 0.000). These findings indicate that the STAD model effectively improves student achievement by fostering peer collaboration, active engagement, and collective responsibility for learning outcomes. The novelty of this research lies in its application of STAD in Indonesian language learning at the junior secondary level, providing new insights into cooperative learning beyond science and mathematics, where it has been predominantly studied. The implications suggest that educators and policymakers should integrate cooperative learning models such as STAD into instructional practices to enhance academic performance and social competencies essential for 21st-century learning.

Abstract

Oral traditions constitute an important element of intangible cultural heritage, serving as a medium of cultural transmission, identity formation, and moral education, yet many of these traditions remain underexplored in academic scholarship. This study aimed to analyze the forms and meanings of the Sekujang oral tradition practiced by the Serawai community in Selingsingan and Simpang Villages, North Seluma District, Bengkulu Province. A qualitative descriptive design was employed, using documentation, observation, and in-depth interviews with cultural practitioners and community elders as data collection techniques. The collected pantun texts were transcribed, coded, and thematically analyzed to identify structural features and cultural values embedded in the tradition. The findings revealed that Sekujang is performed through pantun recitations that encompass themes of gratitude, respect, and communal harmony, while also functioning as a vehicle for intergenerational knowledge transfer and social cohesion. The analysis further demonstrated that Sekujang reflects the Serawai people’s worldview and ethical norms, particularly concerning respect for nature, kinship, and spirituality. The novelty of this research lies in its systematic documentation and interpretive analysis of Sekujang, a tradition that has received limited scholarly attention compared to other Indonesian oral performances. These results imply that Sekujang should be integrated into cultural preservation programs and educational initiatives to strengthen cultural identity, promote local wisdom, and support heritage policies at the regional and national levels.

Abstract

Figurative language plays a crucial role in enriching poetic expression and developing students’ literary competence, yet its systematic use among junior secondary school students in Indonesia has not been widely documented. This study aimed to analyze the types and functions of figurative language found in a collection of poems written by eighth-grade students at MTs Ja-Alhaq, Bengkulu City. Employing a qualitative descriptive design, the data were collected through documentation of student-written poems and analyzed using semantic and stylistic approaches to identify and classify figurative devices. The analysis revealed frequent use of simile, hyperbole, personification, and repetition, which functioned to emphasize emotional intensity, convey abstract ideas, and enhance the aesthetic quality of the texts, while other devices such as metaphor, allegory, and ellipsis appeared less frequently. These findings suggest that students at the junior secondary level are capable of applying diverse figurative forms, reflecting both creativity and emerging literary awareness. The novelty of this research lies in its empirical focus on adolescent poetry within an Indonesian educational context, an area rarely explored in previous studies. The results imply that integrating figurative language instruction into the language learning curriculum can enhance students’ creativity, critical thinking, and appreciation of literature, while also contributing to the broader development of literacy and character education.

Abstract

Language development in children represents a critical foundation for cognitive, social, and academic growth, yet it is highly influenced by biological, environmental, and socio-cultural factors that can either support or hinder progress. This study aimed to analyze theories, stages, and determinants of children’s language development and to identify potential barriers that may impede optimal growth. Using a qualitative descriptive design based on a systematic literature review, data were collected from books, journal articles, and credible reports, which were then synthesized through thematic analysis to capture key concepts and patterns. The results reveal that language development progresses through identifiable stages—from babbling and single words to complex sentences—and is strongly shaped by interaction with caregivers, enriched literacy environments, and exposure to social communication. At the same time, obstacles such as limited parental engagement, socioeconomic disparities, and neurodevelopmental risks were found to negatively affect linguistic competence. The discussion emphasizes that language development is not only a linguistic and cognitive process but also a socio-cultural phenomenon requiring integrative support from families, educators, and policymakers. The implication of this research is that holistic strategies combining play-based learning, dialogic reading, parental involvement, and inclusive early education policies are essential for fostering equitable and sustainable language growth among children.

Abstract

Folklore functions as a vital medium for preserving cultural identity and transmitting moral values, yet Bengkulu folktales remain underexplored in academic research compared to other regional traditions in Indonesia. This study aimed to analyze the cultural values contained in Cerita Rakyat dari Bengkulu 2 by Naim Emel Prahana to classify and interpret the moral and social wisdom embedded within the narratives. A qualitative descriptive method was employed, with data collected through documentation of selected folktales and analyzed using content analysis to identify recurring themes. The analysis focused on four relational domains: human–God, human–nature, human–human, and human–self. The findings revealed that the folktales convey religious devotion, ecological awareness, social solidarity, and personal integrity, demonstrating that local wisdom is deeply interwoven into narrative structures. These results indicate that folklore in Bengkulu not only entertains but also educates and preserves community identity by transmitting values across generations. The novelty of this research lies in its systematic categorization of cultural values within Bengkulu folktales, an area seldom addressed in prior literature. The implications suggest that integrating regional folklore into educational curricula can enhance cultural literacy, strengthen character education, and support the safeguarding of Indonesia’s intangible cultural heritage, while future studies should adopt broader ethnographic approaches to capture folklore in its living context.

Abstract

Language style is one of the essential elements in literature, as it not only enhances the aesthetic quality of a text but also conveys the author’s intentions, emotions, and cultural context. This study aimed to analyze the use of language styles in Nadzira Shafa’s novel 172 Days to identify the forms and functions of stylistic devices within a contemporary Indonesian popular literary work. The research employed a qualitative descriptive approach, with data collected through repeated and comprehensive readings of the text, followed by classification and interpretation of stylistic features, including comparison, contradiction, linkage, and repetition. The results reveal a wide range of rhetorical devices, such as simile, metaphor, personification, symbolism, allegory, hyperbole, paradox, parallelism, and tautology, each contributing to the narrative’s emotional depth, thematic reinforcement, and cultural resonance. The discussion indicates that these stylistic elements not only shape character development and narrative flow but also highlight the richness of Indonesian literary expression in modern popular novels. The implication of this study is that stylistic analysis provides both theoretical insights into the development of Indonesian literature and practical applications in literary pedagogy, offering a bridge between classical stylistics and contemporary texts that are more relatable to younger readers.
