Abstract

This study aims to analyze the management of non-academic formative assessment by volunteer teachers in supporting the development of students’ self-confidence and collaboration at the English Club of the HKBP Padang Bulan Sunday School. The background of this study stems from the importance of managing non-academic formative assessment in non-formal education, particularly in supporting the development of students’ character and social skills. Although the English Club has served as a platform for nurturing children through language activities and social interaction, the implementation of student progress assessment still faces challenges in the form of limited assessment tools, a lack of a progress tracking system, and instructors’ limited technical understanding of managing formative assessment. This study employs a qualitative approach using a case study design. The research was conducted at the HKBP Padang Bulan Sunday School English Club. The research data sources consisted of the English Club coordinator and three volunteer teachers as the main informants, while the students served as subjects of observation to track the development of their self-confidence and collaboration during the activities. Data collection techniques included in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation. Data analysis was conducted through the stages of data condensation, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The research results indicate that the management of non-academic formative assessment was carried out through a process of planning the developmental aspects to be observed, conducting observations during the activities, providing feedback, and following up with student guidance. The assessment results were utilized by the teachers as a basis for understanding the students’ needs and determining appropriate coaching strategies. The study also identified several obstacles, namely the diversity of student characteristics, teachers’ time constraints, and the lack of standardized assessment instruments. To overcome these obstacles, teachers implemented adaptive strategies through a personalized approach, providing motivation, creating a safe learning environment, and coordinating among volunteers. This study concludes that the management of non-academic formative assessment in English Club activities serves not only as an evaluation process but also as part of students’ character development by supporting the growth of self-confidence and collaboration skills within a non-formal, church-based educational setting

Abstract

Changes in staple food prices are one factor that can influence consumption patterns and public demand. This study aims to analyze the relationship between price changes and demand for staple foods, identify previous research findings, and formulate applicable solutions to address the impact of price changes. The study used a descriptive method with a literature review approach, focusing on relevant previous research published between 2021 and 2026. Data were analyzed descriptively and comparatively, taking into account the concept of price elasticity of demand. The study results indicate that price changes are related to changes in demand for staple foods, but the level of response varies across commodities and household conditions. Several studies have shown that food demand tends to be inelastic, so people continue to purchase even when prices increase. In addition to price, income, population, consumption patterns, and the availability of substitute goods also influence demand. Price fluctuations in several commodities, such as chilies, shallots, and cooking oil, are one of the obstacles to maintaining the affordability of staple foods. Based on these findings, the solutions formulated include monitoring price fluctuations, implementing policies based on commodity elasticity characteristics, protecting household purchasing power, planning supply based on population size and consumption patterns, educating consumers about substitute goods, and strengthening price and consumption databases. This study is expected to serve as a reference in understanding the public's demand response to changes in staple food prices

Abstract

The era of Society 5.0, which integrates the physical and digital worlds, has given rise to new challenges to Indonesia's national identity. The rise of hoaxes, social polarization, and the erosion of Pancasila values among the younger generation are indications of an identity crisis that requires a swift and strategic response. This scientific article aims to analyze the urgency of the role of students and to propose a model for patriotic digital collaboration in maintaining national identity. Using a literature study method and a thematic synthesis analysis approach, this scientific article was compiled by reviewing various relevant primary and secondary sources. Data analysis was carried out using reduction, presentation, and conclusion drawing techniques. The results of the study in this scientific article indicate that students have a strategic position as a link between the digital world and national values. The results of the research through this scientific article are a proposed idea in the form of "Digital-Patriotic Collaboration" which consists of five main pillars, namely: Critical Digital Literacy, Creators of Cultural Content and Values, Digital Social Activists, Guardians of Digital Ethics and Morals; and Public Policy Innovators. These five pillars demonstrate that students are not only required to be technologically proficient but also to become " Cultural Digital Intermediaries " who actively translate Pancasila values into relevant and contemporary digital forms. Thus, students' role is not merely defensive (fighting hoaxes) but also proactive (building a digital national identity)

Abstract

This study was conducted to analyze the syntactic functions found in the text of the Indonesian Declaration of Independence. The analysis was carried out by identifying the syntactic elements that make up each sentence and explaining the function of each element in constructing the overall meaning of the text. This study employs a qualitative descriptive method. The qualitative descriptive method was chosen because the study aims to describe and analyze the syntactic functions found in the text of the Indonesian Declaration of Independence without using statistical calculations. The results of the analysis show that in the Text of the Indonesian Declaration of Independence, there are syntactic functions in the form of subject (S), predicate (P), object (O), and adverbial (KET), while the complement (PEL) function was not found. In the first sentence, the pattern S + Adverbial + P + O was found, namely “We, the Indonesian people” as the subject, “hereby” as the adverbial, “declare” as the predicate, and “the independence of Indonesia” as the object. This sentence serves as the Indonesian nation’s official declaration of its independence. The conclusion of this study is that the text of the Proclamation has a simple, effective, and communicative syntactic structure. Although it consists of only two main sentences, the text is able to convey the message of independence clearly, firmly, and with profound meaning. Overall, the syntactic functions found in the text of the Proclamation indicate that each element of the sentence plays a mutually supportive role in constructing meaning

Abstract

Increasingly intense business competition requires companies not only to survive but also to grow sustainably amid a dynamic external environment. One determining factor in a company's success in facing this competition is the implementation of appropriate managerial strategies. This study aims to examine various forms of managerial strategy that companies can apply to improve their competitiveness, including strategic planning, human resource development, innovation and digitalization, operational efficiency, market orientation, and leadership and organizational culture. The method used is a literature study, analyzing relevant management concepts and theories. The findings indicate that company competitiveness is not determined by a single factor, but by a combination of complementary managerial strategies applied consistently by management. Companies that successfully integrate strategic planning with human resource management, continuous innovation, and customer orientation tend to possess more durable competitive advantages. This study is expected to serve as a reference for practitioners and academics in formulating managerial policies oriented toward improving company competitiveness.
