<![CDATA[Mathematics is an essential subject for students because it develops logical and analytical thinking skills, which form the foundation for understanding other concepts in mathematics as well as other scientific disciplines. One of the important topics in mathematics is exponents, which serve as a prerequisite for understanding other advanced topics. As prerequisite material, students are still frequently found to make errors in solving exponent problems. Therefore, this study aims to analyze students' errors in solving a number of exponent problems using the Kastolan procedure. This study uses a qualitative descriptive method with the research subjects consisting of 10 tenth-grade students from a Madrasah Aliyah (MA) in Siak Regency. The research instrument consists of 5 descriptive questions on exponent material. The data analysis techniques applied include data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. Based on the research findings, it is concluded that students made the following errors: conceptual errors, which involve students' inability to apply the correct properties of exponents; procedural errors, where students are unable to complete the steps needed to arrive at a final solution; and technical errors, which occur due to miscalculations that result in incorrect answers]]>

<![CDATA[Football is one of Indonesia’s most popular sports, particularly among generation Z (gen Z), who actively engage with the national team through social media. However, the termination of Shin Tae-Yong’s contract has significantly impacted their enthusiasm. This study examines how his dismissal influences gen Z’s engagement by analyzing changes in their digital interactions and its implications for the football ecosystem. Using a qualitative phenomenological approach and social attachment theory, this study examines online discussions on Twitter, Instagram, and TikTok. The findings reveal a decline in gen Z’s engagement, reflected in reduced social media interactions and the emergence of boycott campaigns against national football. This disengagement may disrupt Indonesia’s football ecosystem, particularly by reducing match attendance, viewership, and sponsorship interest. Therefore, football stakeholders must adopt inclusive digital strategies to rebuild gen Z’s loyalty and sustain long-term fan engagement.]]>

<![CDATA[The topic of luminosity in the solar system is inherently abstract, as it can only be visualized through illustrations or images. Understanding the solar system, with the sun as its center, is crucial for developing students’ scientific reasoning. Like all celestial bodies, the sun will eventually cease to exist, yet no technology currently allows for precise calculation of its remaining lifespan. This study investigates the remaining lifetime of the sun using Einstein’s mass-energy equivalence. This research aims to enhance the comprehension of high school students (SMA/MA) regarding the solar system’s mechanisms and to refine their ability to apply derived formulas, particularly in mass-energy equivalence. A descriptive method is used, drawing data from credible scientific journals. The current age of the sun is estimated at 4.5 billion years, determined by comparing the ages of the oldest terrestrial rocks and meteorites. The sun’s remaining lifetime is calculated using Einstein’s mass-energy equivalence equation, yielding 1.47 × 10¹³ years until it exhausts its mass through nuclear reactions.]]>

<![CDATA[The TikTok dance phenomenon has become a widespread trend among the younger generation, including school students. This trend has the potential to influence students' interest in traditional dance, both as a form of appreciation and as an innovation in cultural preservation. This study aims to analyze how TikTok can enhance students' interest in traditional creative dance and the challenges in preserving cultural heritage in the digital era. This research employs a qualitative-descriptive approach with data collection techniques including interviews, observations, and literature studies. The findings indicate that TikTok can serve as an effective medium to introduce traditional dance to the younger generation through creative and interactive content. Data show an increase in students' interest in traditional dance from 35% before using TikTok to 65% after being exposed to traditional dance content on the platform. However, challenges arise in maintaining the cultural essence due to modifications and adaptations that align with social media formats. The study implies that social media can be leveraged as an educational tool for cultural preservation if managed properly. Therefore, active involvement from educators, art communities, and educational policies is necessary to ensure that TikTok’s role in traditional dance is not merely a passing trend but contributes to sustainable cultural preservation.]]>

<![CDATA[The integration of interactive digital platforms in educational settings has become increasingly crucial for enhancing academic outcomes, yet significant challenges remain in educator technology adaptation. This study examines the effectiveness of interactive digital platforms such as Kahoot and Padlet in improving student academic performance through comprehensive literature analysis. The research identifies critical gaps in previous studies that primarily focused on platform features rather than actual learning outcomes and educator adaptation processes. Using systematic literature review methodology, this study analyzes 45 peer-reviewed articles published between 2019-2024, examining the relationship between platform interactivity, educator technology mastery, and measurable academic improvements. Data analysis employed thematic coding to identify patterns in successful digital learning implementation. Key findings reveal that interactive platforms can increase academic performance by 15-25% when educators demonstrate adequate technology proficiency, but success rates drop significantly when proper training is absent. The study proposes a comprehensive framework integrating platform effectiveness metrics with educator development strategies. Recommendations include structured technology training programs for educators and standardized assessment protocols for measuring digital learning effectiveness.]]>
