This experimental study investigated the effectiveness of Process Oriented Guided Inquiry Learning (POGIL) based Student Worksheets in enhancing metacognitive skills among eleventh grade students learning Chemical Equilibrium. Utilizing a one group pretest posttest design with 36 participants, the intervention implemented specially designed worksheets integrating POGIL's inquiry cycle with explicit metacognitive scaffolding. Metacognitive skills comprising planning, monitoring, and evaluating components were measured through validated essay instruments before and after four instructional sessions. Statistical analysis using the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test revealed a significant improvement in overall metacognitive skills (Z = -5.197, p < 0.001, large effect size d = 2.47). Notably, 94.44% of students demonstrated measurable progress, with normalized gain scores indicating high improvement in planning (g = 0.82), moderate improvement in evaluating (g = 0.51), and moderate improvement in monitoring (g = 0.48). These findings substantiate that POGIL based worksheets, when designed with intentional metacognitive prompts, effectively foster the development of higher order regulatory skills essential for mastering complex chemical concepts. The study contributes to science education literature by demonstrating how inquiry based pedagogies can be optimized for metacognitive skill development.

The Taman Candi is included in the category of active green open space (GOS). Based on this, it is necessary to carry out good maintenance aimed at maintaining the quality of facilities, both softscape and hardscape in the park. Maintenance in Taman Candi Ngawi Regency refers to the park maintenance standards by Arifin and Arifin (2005). Data processing was carried out using a quantitative method, namely using a work capacity calculation formula, aimed at measuring the suitability of work and worker effectiveness from the maintenance of the Taman Candi Ngawi Regency. The management of the Taman Candi in Ngawi Regency does not have a written maintenance schedule, so maintenance activities are carried out flexibly or according to the conditions in the field, and there are several activities that have not been carried out, the results show that there is still work that is not ideal from the work capacity and exceeds the ideal value in accordance with the standard of maintenance work capacity of Arifin and Arifin (2005). This is due to the lack of knowledge of workers about good and correct maintenance activities, the absence of a written schedule from the manager, and the lack of availability of tools.

This papper reviews a range of studies that examine the influence of cultural and religious differences on the effectiveness of the counselor–client relationship. The main focus is on how cultural identity and religious beliefs shape the way individuals understand problems, interpret personal experiences, and respond to the counseling process. The literature shows that differences in values, communication styles, and spiritual orientations can affect the quality of the relationship, especially during the stages of building trust and setting counseling goals. At the same time, counselors who possess multicultural competence and sensitivity toward religious diversity are better able to adapt their approaches so clients feel respected and emotionally secure. This review also highlights the importance of counselor self-reflection to avoid personal bias in sessions, particularly when working with clients from backgrounds that differ greatly from their own. By examining various academic sources, this article argues that an effective counseling relationship depends not only on technique but also on the counselor’s ability to understand the client’s life context. The findings of this literature review contribute to the development of more inclusive and culturally responsive counseling practices.

Vocational education requires a practice-based learning process supported by complete facilities so that students can master work competencies optimally. However, the condition of the Motorcycle Engineering workshop at Noemuti State Vocational High School shows that the completeness of the disc brake system practice facilities does not meet the ideal ratio standards, which affects the effectiveness of learning. This incompleteness has an impact on the low achievement of students' practical learning outcomes that have not reached the KKM. This study aims to describe the level of completeness of workshop facilities and the results of the disc brake system practice learning, and to determine whether there is a relationship between the two. The research approach uses a quantitative correlational method with a total sampling of 26 students. Data were obtained through observation, questionnaires, and documentation, then analyzed using descriptive statistics, normality tests, linearity tests, Pearson correlations, and coefficients of determination using SPSS 27. The results showed that the average completeness of workshop facilities was 42.27 and the results of practical learning were 42.81, both of which were in the good category. The Pearson correlation test produced a value of r = 0.960 with a significance of 0.000 (<0.05), indicating a very strong and significant relationship. The coefficient of determination (R² = 0.92) shows that 92% of the variation in practical learning outcomes is influenced by the completeness of workshop facilities. The more complete the workshop facilities, the higher the students' practical learning outcomes.

This study examines the implementation of digital health services via the Mobile JKN application at the Payung Sekaki Community Health Center in Pekanbaru City and explores factors affecting service effectiveness, especially complaints about long waiting times. Using a descriptive qualitative approach based on the Mobile Health Acceptance Model by Handayani et al. (2021), the study focuses on five constructs: ease of use, system availability, system responsiveness, health workers’ digital skills, and user trust. The results show that Mobile JKN has significantly simplified administrative processes, accelerated registration, and improved service efficiency at the health center. Effectiveness is supported by factors such as the application’s general ease of use, faster queue data processing, and adequate digital skills among staff. Users also show a high level of trust, though queue time estimation still needs improvement. Despite these benefits, complaints about long waits persist due to patients who register online but still queue manually and misunderstandings between Mobile JKN and e-Puskesmas queue numbers. Late patient arrivals also contribute to delays. Overall, Mobile JKN proves effective in enhancing digital health services, but further optimization is needed through better socialization of service procedures, accurate queue information, and improved system integration to maximize the advantages of digitalization.

The weak mechanism for royalty payments to songwriters in Indonesia, despite Law No. 28 of 2014 on Copyright clearly regulating moral rights and economic rights. In practice, there are still various violations in the form of unauthorized use of songs, low compliance with royalty payments, and suboptimal performance of Collective Management Organizations (CMOs) and National Collective Management Organizations (NCMOs). This study aims to analyze the concept of songwriters' economic rights, the mechanism for managing royalties, and the effectiveness of legal protection in its implementation. The research method uses a normative juridical approach by examining laws and regulations as well as conceptual data related to copyright management. The results show that although regulations have provided a strong legal basis, the implementation of royalty payment mechanisms still faces structural and technical obstacles, including the transparency of CMOs, the legal awareness of users of works, and weak law enforcement against violations. This study emphasizes the importance of improving the mechanisms for collecting and distributing royalties so that the protection of the economic rights of creators can be carried out effectively and fairly.

This study aims to improve the effectiveness of facility arrangement at Pabrik Oncom Bu Nana by analyzing interactions among production activities and designing spatial layouts based on their priority levels. The current layout presents several critical issues, particularly because the equipment sanitation area is combined with the toilet, creating a significant risk of contamination and reducing hygiene during production. In addition, irregular material flow and excessive worker movement lead to inefficient work processes and may affect the quality of the final product. To address these issues, this study employs the Activity Relationship Chart (ARC) to evaluate the functional closeness among production areas, as well as the Total Closeness Rating (TCR) to determine facility placement priorities based on the intensity of inter-stage relationships. The results of the ARC analysis indicate that the fermentation room has the strongest link to the main stages of oncom production, requiring its placement to be closer to the preparation and molding areas. Findings from the TCR further emphasize that fermentation should become the primary focus in the layout redesign. Based on both methods, a more organized layout design is proposed by relocating the fermentation room to the beginning of the production flow, separating the toilet and sanitation room into two distinct areas, and restructuring the storage, molding, and drying spaces. This redesigned layout is expected to enhance cleanliness, improve material flow, and strengthen the operational effectiveness of Pabrik Oncom Bu Nana.
