Abstract

Women's dual roles balancing household duties with professional work remain a major issue in today's discussions about education and socioeconomics. Even though more women are working outside the home, they are still often expected to take on traditional caregiving roles. This makes it hard for them to manage overlapping responsibilities. This study looks at how women handle both home and work roles, assesses the economic contributions they make to their families' well-being, and examines the link between dual roles and household stability in Indonesia. The research uses a quantitative explanatory design, selecting 20 women aged 20 to 39 who are married or divorced, have children, and work in professional, agricultural, or entrepreneurial fields. Data was collected through structured Likert scale questionnaires, validated by experts, and tested for reliability using Cronbach’s Alpha (>0.70). Statistical analysis was done with SPSS, including normality tests and regression. The results show that while women's economic contributions are important for family well-being, they do not significantly predict the intensity of dual roles (p = 0.682). Instead, factors like partner support, number of children, job demands, and cultural expectations have a greater impact. The study concludes that women's dual roles are shaped by the interaction of economic, social, psychological, and cultural factors. Policy implications stress the need for supportive family systems, flexible work arrangements, affordable child care, and cultural change to reduce the burden of dual roles and promote gender equality.

Abstract

Academic procrastination is a problem that many students experience and has an impact on declining learning quality, increased stress, and low academic achievement. One of the internal factors that is strongly suspected to influence this behavior is self-efficacy anxiety, which is a condition when students doubt their ability to complete assignments, thus encouraging procrastination behavior. This study aims to analyze the effect of self-efficacy anxiety on academic procrastination behavior in students. The research method uses a quantitative approach with a survey design of 34 students selected through purposive sampling techniques. Data were collected using two Likert scales, namely the Anxiety Scale for Self-Disability and the Academic Procrastination Scale, and then analyzed through normality, correlation, and regression tests. The results showed that the data were normally distributed and there was a strong relationship between the two variables (R = 0.746). In addition, a significance value of 0.000 and a calculated t value greater than the t table showed that self-efficacy anxiety had a significant effect on academic procrastination behavior. This means that the higher the student's anxiety about their abilities, the higher their tendency to postpone academic assignments. This study concludes that anxiety about self-incompetence is an important psychological factor that needs to be considered in efforts to develop intervention programs to reduce academic procrastination in students.

Abstract

The rapid growth of digital media, particularly short-video platforms such as TikTok, has significantly influenced early childhood music consumption patterns and has the potential to shape children’s musical interests and preferences. This study aims to examine the effect of exposure to digital short songs on TikTok on early childhood interest in traditional children’s songs. A quantitative approach with an explanatory research design was employed. The study involved 25 children aged 4-6 years who were enrolled in Early Childhood Education (PAUD) institutions and selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using structured questionnaires completed by parents and teachers, measuring the level of exposure to digital short songs and children’s interest in traditional children’s songs. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and simple linear regression analysis. The findings reveal that exposure to digital short songs via TikTok has a statistically significant effect on early childhood interest in traditional children’s songs, as indicated by a significance value of 0.046 (p < 0.05). These results suggest that digital media functions as an informal learning environment that can influence children’s musical preferences. However, the impact of digital media exposure largely depends on the quality of content and the presence of appropriate guidance from adults. Therefore, the purposeful and educational use of TikTok may serve as an adaptive strategy to revitalize traditional children’s songs, ensuring their relevance for young learners in the digital era while preserving local cultural values.

Abstract

Comfort in the learning process plays an important role in supporting optimal learning outcomes among university students. However, certain aspects of the learning environment that may influence this comfort are often overlooked, including the presence of body odor. Unpleasant body odor can disrupt students’ concentration, reduce psychological comfort, and negatively affect social interactions during academic activities. This study aims to examine the relationship between body odor and students’ learning comfort in higher education settings. A quantitative approach with a survey method was employed, using questionnaires as the primary instrument for data collection. The research involved 36 students selected through purposive sampling based on criteria relevant to the study objectives. The collected data were analyzed using correlation analysis to determine the strength and direction of the relationship between body odor and learning comfort. The results indicate a significant relationship between body odor and students’ learning comfort, particularly affecting concentration, academic focus, and the overall classroom atmosphere. These findings highlight that personal hygiene, especially body odor management, is an important factor in creating a healthy, comfortable, and supportive learning environment in higher education institutions.
