Abstract

This study aims to describe speech acts in the novel Rantau Satu Muara by Ahmad Fuadi through a pragmatic approach and to explain their relevance to Indonesian language learning at SMP Muhammadiyah Bulukumba. This research employed a qualitative descriptive method with content analysis as the main approach. The data were taken from dialogues and utterances in the novel that contain locutionary, illocutionary, and perlocutionary acts. Data collection was conducted through reading and note-taking techniques, while data analysis was carried out by identifying, classifying, interpreting, and describing the forms and functions of speech acts found in the novel. The findings show that the novel contains various forms of speech acts, including locutionary acts, illocutionary acts, and perlocutionary acts, which reflect communication intentions, social interaction, and character responses. These speech acts also contain educational values that can support students’ language awareness, character formation, and understanding of literary texts. The study concludes that Rantau Satu Muara is relevant as an alternative teaching material in Indonesian language learning, especially in learning activities related to analyzing language use, dialogue, character values, and literary meaning in junior high school. This relevance can help students improve pragmatic competence and appreciate literary works more critically and contextually.

Abstract

The rapid advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) has revolutionized digital healthcare services, particularly through AI-powered health applications such as Aicare. This study examines the impact of AI on user comfort and explores the challenges associated with its implementation. Adopting a qualitative approach, the research involved in-depth interviews with three Aicare users from diverse backgrounds. The study is grounded in the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) and the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) to analyze the key factors influencing user acceptance of AI-driven healthcare solutions. The findings reveal that efficiency and flexibility are the primary drivers of AI adoption in healthcare applications. However, several challenges persist, including limitations in service personalization, the absence of non-verbal communication, and a lower level of trust in AI compared to traditional face-to-face medical consultations. Furthermore, social and cultural factors significantly influence technology acceptance, with users possessing higher digital literacy demonstrating greater openness to AI-based healthcare services. To enhance user comfort and trust, application developers are encouraged to improve interface design for greater intuitiveness, develop AI systems with enhanced personalization and adaptability, and integrate human-centered interaction features, such as video consultations with healthcare professionals. Additionally, strengthening data security and promoting digital literacy on the benefits of AI in healthcare are crucial for fostering user confidence. With continuous innovation, AI-powered healthcare applications have the potential to become more inclusive and effective solutions for supporting Indonesia’s healthcare system.

Abstract

The world of education is currently increasingly prioritizing technology in facilitating and developing the teaching and learning process, such as the Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) at Sirajul Falah Parung Bogor Vocational School which utilizes technology and computer networks to facilitate the responsibilities and duties of staff, teachers and school principals . Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) is a computer network that is connected using conducting media (non-cable) using frequencies and standards according to wireless network standards. This research uses observation research methods, interviews and literature studies with the aim of finding out the working system of the Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) at Sirajul Falah Vocational School Parung Bogor and overcoming the deficiencies found such as poor security systems and user management which often results in a large number of users who illegally used the Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) at Sirajul Falah Vocational School Parung Bogor which also caused other connection problems. One solution that can be taken to overcome the problems found is to carry out management on the Wireless network, namely activating a different username and password feature for each user who is allowed to access the Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) network at SMK Sirajul Falah Parung Bogor.

Abstract

This research discusses the implications of various types of rewards for students’ intrinsic and extrinsic motivation in English as a foreign language (EFL) classrooms. This research employed a qualitative descriptive design through classroom observation, interviews, and documentations at SMP Negeri 3 Watampone. The subjects of the research were an English teacher and students from class VIII C and IX B. The data were analyzed through data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The result found that reward verbal and non-verbal such as praise, gesture, proximity and fun activity, strengthened students’ intrinsic motivation by improving their confidence reducing their anxiety, and encouraging long-term engagement in learning. Meanwhile, non-verbal rewards, such as objects and symbols were effective in stimulating extrinsic motivation by encouraging students’ participation and task completion. However, excessive dependence on rewards may shift students’ focus from the learning process to obtaining rewards. This research concludes that non-verbal rewards such as physical objects and symbols are effective primarily as short-term motivation triggers. In contrast, verbal and non-verbal rewards like praise, gestures, and proximity play a more significant role in maintaining students' intrinsic motivation and long-term engagement in EFL learning.

Abstract

This study analyzed the effects of School Operational Assistance (BOS) and school facilities and infrastructure on educational quality in public elementary schools in Tungkal Ilir District, Banyuasin Regency. A quantitative ex post facto design was employed. The population consisted of 193 teachers, and 130 respondents were selected using the Slovin formula at a 5% margin of error. Data were collected through Likert-scale questionnaires and documentation. The instruments were valid and highly reliable, with Cronbach's alpha coefficients of 0.920 for BOS, 0.906 for facilities and infrastructure, and 0.907 for educational quality. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, prerequisite tests, simple linear regression, and multiple linear regression with SPSS version 26. BOS had a positive and significant effect on educational quality (B = 0.386; t = 7.491; p < 0.001; R² = 13.6%). Facilities and infrastructure also had a positive and significant effect (B = 0.566; t = 8.183; p < 0.001; R² = 34.3%). Simultaneously, both variables significantly predicted educational quality (F = 42.105; p < 0.001; R² = 39.9%), with the regression equation Y = 0.723 + 0.253X₁ + 0.510X₂.. The findings indicate that educational quality requires accountable and instruction-oriented BOS management together with adequate, accessible, and well-maintained school facilities.

Abstract

This study described and analyzed the principal's strategies, constraints, and solutions in optimizing the School Activity and Budget Plan Application (ARKAS) and the School Procurement Information System (SIPLah) to improve the accountability of School Operational Assistance (BOSP) funds at SDN 6 Suak Tapeh. A descriptive qualitative approach was employed. Informants were purposively selected and comprised a school supervisor, the principal, a classroom teacher, the school operator, and a school committee representative. Data were collected through interviews, observation, and document analysis. Trustworthiness was strengthened through source and method triangulation, and the data were analyzed using the Miles and Huberman model of data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings showed that the principal optimized both applications through needs-based planning in ARKAS, teacher participation in identifying instructional priorities, clear role allocation, technical direction for the operator, continuous coordination with internal and external stakeholders, verification of ARKAS entries, need-oriented procurement through SIPLah, disciplined administration, physical and digital document archiving, and information disclosure to teachers and the school committee. Constraints included uneven technical understanding, dependence on the operator, unstable internet access, incomplete data and supporting documents, application updates, limited procurement options, competing school priorities, time constraints, and reporting demands. These constraints were addressed through coordination, technical assistance, task distribution, data verification, systematic archiving, consultation with relevant agencies, and continuous supervision. The study demonstrates that digital applications strengthen BOSP accountability only when supported by managerial, participatory, technical, and administrative leadership.
