Abstract

This article explores how Facebook functions as a communication medium in today’s digital life, with special focus on usage patterns, communicative motives, and the platform’s bearing on users’ social relationships. A qualitative research method grounded in library research and semi-structured interviews of three purposively selected informants was employed to produce contextually rich data. The results of the research confirm that Facebook as a social media platform is still the dominant social network, and that it will continue to be a dominant channel by which people in various socio-demographic groups communicate and maintain social ties. Beyond mere interpersonal interaction, the platform serves an economic and community function as well as many other social and socializing functions, consolidating its role as a multifunctional communication infrastructure. Further analysis of interview data confirms that people interacting with Facebook are doing so as a conscious way of maintaining relational bonds amid geographical barriers; they are not just interested in receiving information. The authors find that as technology moves forward into 2026, Facebook becomes further intertwined with everyday communicative life and this has consequences for the ways in which digital sociality is theorized and studied.

Abstract

Today, Instagram is one of the most popular social media platforms among individuals in this digital era. However, although Instagram can be seen as an entertainment source for some people, it is also used as a source for sharing, gaining knowledge, and personal development. As such, this essay shall highlight how Instagram can be used as a platform for sharing and growing together. Instagram provides many functions ranging from posting, stories, and reels whereby people can express themselves and share information with other people (Instagram, 2023). Moreover, Instagram also gives its users access to a number of resources related to education. Thus, individuals get to learn in different areas of knowledge such as languages, studies, and personal development (UNESCO, 2022). Additionally, Instagram contributes to personal development by stimulating creativity, increasing self-confidence, and offering opportunities to build a personal brand and grow a business (Harvard Business Review, 2021). In spite of all its advantages, there are certain problems like misuse, spread of false information, and social comparison which pose problems that need to be taken into account (Pew Research Center, 2024). Hence, one should use this social media network wisely. In general, Instagram can be an extremely useful means of communication.

Abstract

Rapid technological developments and changing student characteristics require innovation in the learning process. One popular approach is Game-Based Learning (GBL), a learning model that integrates game elements to increase student engagement, motivation, and understanding of the material. This research employed a literature review method, examining various sources, including 10 books and 5 scientific journals, related to the application of Game-Based Learning in education. The study results indicate that this model can strengthen interactions between teachers and students, encourage student engagement, and help them better understand learning concepts. Furthermore, the use of games in learning activities has been shown to increase enthusiasm for learning and create a more engaging and engaging classroom atmosphere. However, implementing Game-Based Learning requires sound planning and teacher skills in managing game-based activities to ensure effective and optimal learning objectives are achieved.

Abstract

Learning media play an important role in improving the quality of the teaching and learning process because they help teachers deliver learning materials more clearly and effectively. One of the media that can be utilized in learning is audio media, which delivers information through sound elements. This study aims to analyze the use of audio media in improving the quality of learning through a literature review approach. The method used in this study is a literature study by examining various scientific sources such as journals, books, and previous research related to audio media in learning. The results of the review indicate that audio media have several advantages, including improving students’ listening skills, increasing learning motivation, and providing flexibility because they can be accessed through various technological devices. In addition, audio media have relatively low production costs and are easy to distribute. However, audio media also have limitations because they rely only on the sense of hearing and are less effective for materials that require visual explanations. Therefore, the use of audio media should be adjusted to learning objectives and material characteristics to optimize the quality of learning.   Keywords: audio media, learning media, learning quality, literature review

Abstract

Critical thinking skills are one of the essential competencies that students must master in facing the challenges of the 21st century. However, various assessment results both national and international show that the critical thinking skills of students in Indonesia are still relatively low. This review article aims to analyze the effectiveness of the Problem Based Learning (PBL) model in improving students' critical thinking skills based on the synthesis of empirical research results published between 2020 and 2025. The method used was a systematic literature review (SLR) of 15 articles from SINTA-accredited national journals and reputable international journals Scopus and Web of Science. Inclusion criteria include: (1) experimental or quasi-experimental research, (2) using PBL as an independent variable, (3) critical thinking as a bound variable, and (4) research subjects are elementary to high school/vocational students. The results of the study show that PBL has consistently been proven to be effective in improving students' critical thinking skills at various levels of education and subjects. The average increase in critical thinking N-gain in PBL classes ranged from 0.40 to 0.72 (medium to high category). The success factors of PBL include the quality of authentic problem design, teacher facilitation ability, availability of learning resources, and student motivation. The implications of this study provide practical recommendations for teachers in implementing PBL effectively as well as for researchers to explore moderator variables that affect the effectiveness of PBL.
