The ability to understand denotative and connotative meanings is important in supporting the development of students' literacy and critical thinking skills in elementary schools. However, in practice, students still have difficulty in distinguishing the two types of meanings, especially in the context of connotative sentences that are figurative and require contextual interpretation. This study aims to analyze the ability of sixth grade elementary school students to identify and understand denotative and connotative meanings through various forms of questions, namely multiple choice, fill-in-the-blank, and descriptive, with a qualitative approach using the case study method. The steps of the case study include determining the focus of the study, literature review, case selection, data collection, data processing, data analysis, negotiation of results, and conclusions. The subjects of the study consisted of five sixth grade elementary school students who were analyzed based on their answers to the instruments that had been prepared. The results of the study showed that students had a good basic understanding of denotative and connotative meanings in explicit form. However, they still had difficulty in interpreting connotative meanings contextually and figuratively. The novelty of this study lies in the use of a contextual learning approach that is relevant to students' social and cultural lives, which has been proven to improve students' ability to understand meaning reflectively and critically.  

Eradication of corruption in Indonesia has been made maximum efforts, but the reality shows that the number of corruption cases continues to increase. This situation is caused by the obstacles encountered in efforts to prevent and eradicate corruption. In its development, corruption in Indonesia is no longer a monopoly of bureaucrats but has also involved actors in the private sector. For example, corruption can be committed by corporations, either directly or through the actions of people acting on behalf of or for the interests of the corporation. The method used is the normative juridical method, a legal research method that relies on the study of primary legal materials, such as laws, legal theories, and legal concepts. This method is analytical and examines the legal norms applicable in laws and regulations. Enforcement of criminal law against corporations in corruption cases is an important aspect in efforts to eradicate corruption in Indonesia. Corporations are responsible for actions taken in their interests. Sanctions imposed on corporations, either in the form of fines or administrative sanctions, are expected to provide a deterrent effect and prevent the recurrence of corruption. Criminal law enforcement against corporations in corruption cases faces various complex and diverse obstacles. These obstacles include the complexity of the corporate organizational structure, difficulty in providing evidence, transfer of responsibility, lack of clear regulations, minimal sanctions imposed.

In the learning process, students often encounter various obstacles. One common challenge is their difficulty in understanding the material presented by teachers, especially when the explanations are too abstract. To address this issue, appropriate instructional media are needed to help achieve learning objectives. The use of such media can support teachers in delivering content more effectively. As science and technology continue to evolve, instructional media must also adapt to create a learning environment that aligns with current developments. One form of media that can be utilized is educational video. This study aims to explore the use of video media in delivering instructional content. The method used is a literature review of previous research findings. The results indicate that video-based learning media can serve as an effective tool for teachers to present learning materials in a more engaging and comprehensible way.

In everyday life, the practice of making agreements is often done simply without written form, especially in social interactions and informal economic activities. This raises legal questions about whether agreements made orally have valid legal force. This study aims to understand the legal position of oral agreements from the perspective of Indonesian civil law, especially regarding the requirements for the validity of an agreement based on the provisions of Article 1320 of the Civil Code (KUHPerdata). This study uses a normative juridical method, with an approach to laws and legal doctrine. The results of the study show that even though they are not made in writing, oral agreements are still valid as long as they meet the applicable legal requirements. However, the problem that often arises lies in the difficulty of proof when peace occurs. Therefore, it is important for parties to consider written records as a form of legal protection.
