Indonesian, as the official and academic language in Indonesia, has linguistic standards outlined in the Kamus Besar Bahasa Indonesia (KBBI). However, in practice, the use of vocabulary that aligns with KBBI is still not a common habit among university students. This study aims to review students' awareness of using vocabulary that conforms to KBBI and the factors influencing it. The method used in this research is a literature review, analyzing various sources, including academic journals, books, and relevant articles. The findings indicate that students' awareness of using standard language remains low due to social environment influences, social media exposure, and a lack of emphasis on formal language use in academic learning. Additionally, the habit of using informal language in daily communication, particularly on digital platforms, is one of the primary reasons for the decline in formal language quality among students.

This research was conducted to find out the extent of students' thinking skills using a realistic mathematical approach or the realistic mathematic education (RME) approach. This approach uses a qualitative method with a descriptive qualitative approach. The tenic used is observation and wawwancara. This research was conducted by us Mataram State Islamic University students. This study is located in MIN LLL Mataram City precisely in class V teachers. The researcher also analyzes with qualitative data analysis, based on the results obtained from observations and interviews, it shows that students' creative thinking skills use realistic mathematical approaches are still less, because teachers need a long time To be able to make students understand related to learning mathematics using PMR, and students assume that learning mathematics is very difficult.

Real Work Lecture (KKN) is a form of community service activity by students with a cross-scientific and sectoral approach at a certain time and area. The implementation of KKN activities usually lasts between one to two months and takes place in villagelevel areas.

The results showed that the level of self-esteem in students who work part-time is very high at 55%. The results of this study also show that there are 2 items with moderate score achievements on the self-esteem scale, so there are 2 proposed topics regarding time management and priorities and planning and priorities, which can be used as material for lecturer discussions with students.

This study aims to find out the difference in self-acceptance rates between students and 7th grade students at SMP Negeri 1 Yogyakarta during puberty. This study also aims to find out the level of self-acceptance in students and students separately. This study uses a comparative quantitative method with 60 students out of a total of 192 students. Data was collected through a Google Form questionnaire containing 47 items based on aspects of self-acceptance according to Hurlock (2004). The reliability of the instrument was tested using Alpha Cronbach with a coefficient of 0.917. The results showed that there was a significant difference in the level of self-acceptance between students and students. Based on data analysis, 20.7% of students are in the medium category, 65.5% in the low category, and 13.8% in the very low category. For female students, 6.5% were in the very high category, 3.2% in the high category, 61.3% in the medium category, 22.6% in the low category, and 6.5% in the very low category. These results are used as the basis for the preparation of social personal guidance topics in the Guidance and Counseling Study Program, Sanata Dharma University, Yogyakarta.

Problem solving ability is one of the problems still faced in mathematics learning. Problem solving abilities function as a learning method to train and support problem solving abilities in mathematics problems. The aim of this research is to describe the level of students’ problem solving abilities based on the polya procedure. Judging from the stages of understanding the problem, planning, implementing planning, and looking back. This type of research is descriptive research with a qualitative approach. Data collection using problem solving ability tests and interviews. The research was conducted on third semester Informatics engineering students at Stella Maris University, Sumba. The result of the research results of the problem solving ability test were included in the quite good category. There are several factors that become obstacles for students, namely (1) the process of solving questions is not coherent and does not match the steps for solving the problem, (2) some students are confused about identifying elements that are known and asked about and, (3) in learning students tend to remain silent when found difficulty in solving the questions given..

Students' lack of understanding of a concept is usually called a misconception.

This research aims to describe the results of ethnomathematics exploration of the Rejang Lebong community using exploratory research and an ethnographic approach. The research results show that without studying mathematical concepts, the Rejang Lebong people have applied these concepts in their daily lives using ethnomathematics. It is proven that there are mathematical concepts contained in traditional house buildings, decorative geometric shapes in rejang weaving, as well as traditional dances of the Rejang Lebong people. The researcher suggests the results of this research to: (a) be used as an alternative idea for learning mathematics outside the classroom, (b) be introduced to formal mathematics learning as initial capital for teaching mathematical concepts to Pat Petulai University coffee science study program students, (c) be used as reference material for compiling contextual mathematics problem solving questions.
