The peer tutoring method enhanced collaborative learning and social interaction, while direct instruction effectively supported the mastery of procedural and psychomotor skills. The study also highlights that traditional arts learning serves a meaningful experiential medium for Generation Alpha, integrating biological potential with cultural and aesthetic experience. The results suggest that strengthening traditional music and dance education at the junior high school level plays a strategic role in preserving local wisdom, reinforcing cultural identity, and ensuring the continuity of Acehnese traditional arts in the digital era.

In the increasingly developing digital era, the role of influencers on social media has become increasingly significant in influencing consumer behavior and their purchasing intentions. This study aims to quantitatively analyze the relationship between the presence of influencers on social media and consumer purchasing intentions. This research aims to determine how influencers and social media (TikTok) influence the purchasing intentions of Wardah products among female students of STBM Dua Sudara Bitung. This research uses a descriptive quantitative research design. The sample in this study was 77 respondents with a purposive sampling method. In addition, multiple linear regression analysis shows that factors such as age and gender can moderate the relationship between the presence of influencers on social media and purchasing intentions. For example, the millennial generation may be more likely to be influenced by influencers in their purchasing decisions compared to older generations. The data of this study were analyzed using the SPSS program. After the data was tested using a correlation test, the findings in this study obtained a value of 0.717. Then the value in the determination test was 0.000>0.05, which means there is a significant relationship. Furthermore, the results of the simple linear regression test showed that the calculated t-value was greater than the table t-value, indicating significant significance. This means that influencers and social media (TikTok) have a strong influence on Wardah product purchase intention among female students at STBM Dua Sudara Bitung.

Menarche is the first transitional period marked in women, known as the first menstruation (menarche). During menarche, physical and psychological changes occur, such as anxiety and sadness, due to the physical changes in this period. The changes usually include pubic hair, armpit hair, and breast development. This often happens among elementary school students, including those in SDN Lampeuneurut. This study aims to determine the relationship between parental support and the level of anxiety in girls facing menarche in SDN Lampeuneurut. This research employed a quantitative method with a cross-sectional design. The population consisted of 120 female students in grades 5 and 6 at SDN Lampeueneurut who had not yet experienced menarche. The sample was selected using purposive sampling, resulting in 55 respondents who met the inclusion criteria. This research was conducted from June 18th to 20th, 2025. The instruments used were a parental support questionnaire and the STAI (State Trait Anxiety Inventory) of anxiety questionnaire. The data were analyzed using a bivariate statistical test, the Chi-Square test. The research findings indicated a significant relationship between parental support and the anxiety levels of female students in facing menarche, with a p-value of 0.011 (p-value < 0.05). This study concludes that parental support is related to a decrease in the anxiety levels of girls facing menarche. This study recommends that schools provide basic reproductive health education from an early age, especially regarding menarche, and that parents understand the importance of providing emotional, informational, instrumental, and appreciative support.

Adolescence is a transitional period marked by rapid physical, psychological, and social changes. During this time, hormonal growth occurs as a sign of puberty and the activation of reproductive organs, one of which is breast development. However, these changes can sometimes lead to breast abnormalities such as lumps, pain, or changes in shape that may indicate early signs of health problems. One of the most effective early detection efforts for breast abnormalities is Breast Self-Examination (BSE). This examination is important to be done regularly so that each individual, especially adolescent girls, can recognize the condition of their breasts early on. Unfortunately, many adolescent girls still do not know what BSE is or how to perform it correctly. This study aimed to determine the relationship between the level of knowledge and breast self-examination (BSE) behavior among female students at SMA Negeri 1 Krueng Barona Jaya, Aceh Besar District. This research was a quantitative study using an analytic cross-sectional design. Data collection was carried out on May 27, 2025, with a population of 30 female students from grades X and XI, selected using accidental sampling techniques. Data analysis using the Chi-Square test showed that there was no relationship between knowledge level and BSE behavior, with a p-value of 0.384 (p > 0.05). It is expected that parents and schools can improve adolescent girls’ knowledge about BSE as an effort for prevention and early detection of possible breast abnormalities.  

in private junior high schools throughout Sempu District, female students follow Physical Education, Sports, and Health (PJOK) learning with feelings of boredom, doubt, and difficulty. However, it is not yet known what level of motivation female students have in following Physical Education, Sports, and Health (PJOK).  This study aims to analyze the motivation level of female students in participating in Physical Education, Sports, and Health (PJOK) learning at private junior high schools in Sempu District, Banyuwangi Regency. The research employs a survey method with a descriptive quantitative approach. Data were collected through questionnaires distributed to 62 respondents and analyzed using descriptive statistics with the assistance of SPSS software. The findings indicate that students' motivation in PJOK learning is generally high, with an actual score of 4,637 out of an ideal score of 6,200. The obtained mean score is 3.738, with a Respondent Achievement Level (TCR) of 74.79. Although most indicators reflect a high level of motivation, certain aspects remain in the moderate category, such as indicators X11, X16, X18, and X20. Factors contributing to lower motivation in these aspects may include a lack of variation in teaching methods, limited sports facilities, and insufficient external support. Therefore, efforts to enhance motivation should include more interactive teaching methods, improved sports facilities, and stronger environmental support to further increase students' enthusiasm for PJOK learning.

Anemia is a global health problem that frequently affects adolescent girls, particularly in developing countries such as Indonesia. Adolescent girls are at a higher risk of anemia due to menstrual blood loss and inadequate nutritional intake. This study aims to describe the level of knowledge about anemia among female students in Islamic boarding schools in Tarakan City. The research employed a quantitative approach with a descriptive method. The sample consisted of 124 adolescent girls selected using a total sampling technique. Data were collected using a questionnaire adapted from the Guidelines for Assessing Nutrition-related Knowledge, Attitudes, and Practices (FAO) and De et al., comprising 11 statement items. The results showed that 39.5% of respondents had good knowledge, 34.7% had moderate knowledge, and 25.8% had poor knowledge, with a mean score of 70.24, standard deviation of 19.10, minimum score of 18.18, and maximum score of 100.00. The study concludes that most adolescent girls in Islamic boarding schools in Tarakan City have good knowledge about anemia, although continuous nutrition education remains necessary.

This study aims to describe the effectiveness of introducing sign language for the hijaiyah letters in the learning process for deaf children at the Dharma Wanita Special Needs School in Situbondo based on the experiences of female PPL students. This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach with data collection techniques through in-depth interviews. The subjects of the study were 5 female PPL students who directly taught the hijaiyah letters using sign language and 1 supervising teacher at the PPL location, namely at the Dharma Wanita Special Needs School in Situbondo. The results of the study indicate that the use of sign language for the hijaiyah letters is effective in helping deaf children recognize and understand Arabic letters, especially through a visual approach and consistent hand movements. Teachers also expressed that learning became more interesting and participatory. However, there are several challenges such as limited media and the need for longer time in delivering the material. This study concludes that sign language for the hijaiyah letters is a potential alternative learning strategy for deaf children.

Sharing love is a form of caring for others, especially for orphans in orphanages. On Friday 20 September 2024, we held a love sharing event by distributing green bean porridge to orphans at the Puteri Melati `Aisyiyah Orphanage in Sebengkok, Tarakan. This event aims to provide simple happiness and strengthen ties between the community and children in orphanages. Social activities such as sharing food are often considered trivial. In fact, for those living in orphanages, healthy and nutritious food is an important need that is sometimes difficult to meet regularly. By distributing green bean porridge, we not only provide nutritional intake that is beneficial for the body, but also provide happiness and new enthusiasm for the children there. This activity is a form of love that they can feel directly, both through the taste of the food they enjoy and through our presence who provides attention and care. Apart from that, green bean porridge has its own meaning in the tradition of sharing in Indonesian society. As a food that is often associated with moments of togetherness and mutual cooperation, green bean porridge is a symbol of simplicity and sincere love. When this porridge is distributed in orphanages, it is not just food, but becomes a symbol of concern from those who care about the welfare of the children there.  Social concern is an attitude of connection with humanity in general, an empathy for every member of the human community, for example female students. Community service is one of the media to hone student awareness in carrying out community service.

Tuberculosis (TB) remains a major health problem in Indonesia, particularly in Islamic boarding schools (pesantren) where overcrowding and low awareness increase transmission risks. This community engagement aimed to improve knowledge, early detection, and reduce TB stigma at SMA Dar El Iman Islamic Boarding School, Padang. A participatory approach was conducted from July to September 2025 involving 34 female students. Activities included health education, student cadre formation through the Red Cross Youth (PMR), TB symptom screening, and anti-stigma campaigns. Results showed students’ knowledge improved from 45% to 90%, five student cadres were established as peer educators, and three suspected TB cases were referred to health facilities. Evaluation indicated increased awareness of dormitory hygiene, ventilation, and peer support. This program highlights pesantren as a strategic platform for TB prevention and early detection. In conclusion, school-based TB education and screening effectively enhance students’ capacity and support the national TB elimination target by 2030.

The internship program is designed to introduce students to the practical application of the theories and knowledge they have acquired during their studies in a real work environment. This activity was conducted at SMP Swasta Galih Agung, an educational institution under the Darularafah Raya Islamic Boarding School Foundation, which aims to develop pious, skilled, and technologically literate students with strong physical and intellectual abilities. At the beginning of the odd semester of the 2023–2024 academic year, the number of female students enrolled was 470, but by the end of the semester, it had decreased to 455, representing a 0.96% decline. The purpose of this study is to perform a ranking analysis for selecting the best teacher based on expertise and teaching performance. The research employs the SMARTER (Simple Multi-Attribute Rating Technique Exploiting Ranks) method, combined with ROC (Rank Order Centroid) weighting and sensitivity analysis to measure the accuracy of ranking results. The findings show that the teacher with code T10 achieved the highest score of 0.521, followed by T7, T1, T2, T5, T11, T12, T8, T4, T9, T6, and T3, with the lowest score being 0.310. The lowest sensitivity value of 0 indicates the most optimal weighting result. The decision support system designed using questionnaires and Excel simplifies data input and assists the principal in making objective and efficient decisions.

The purpose of this study was to explore differences in students creative thinking abilities based on gender and domicile. The research method used was descriptive quantitative. Sampling used proportional random sampling technique at Public Junior High Schools in South Konawe Regency. The research instrument used a creative thinking test as primary data. The data analysis technique used the winsteps program with scalogram analysis. The results showed that female students tended to be superior in fluency, originality, and elaboration, both at very high and low levels of creative thinking ability, while male students showed superiority in flexibility. This difference can be influenced by biological, psychological, and social factors that play a role in cognitive development and creativity. In addition, differences in creative thinking abilities were also found based on domicile. Urban students are superior in several indicators at very high levels of creative thinking ability, but are more susceptible to decreased creativity at very low levels compared to rural students. Environmental factors such as access to educational resources, intellectual stimulation, and higher social support in urban areas play a role in this difference. Overall, these findings confirm that gender and domicile significantly influence students creative thinking abilities.

Background: Anemia is one of the public health problems commonly found among adolescent girls, especially in developing countries like Indonesia. This condition affects concentration, academic performance, and productivity, making early detection an essential step to prevent long-term complications. Objective: This study aims to determine the results of early detection of anemia based on clinical symptoms and hemoglobin (Hb) levels among adolescent girls at SMPN 18 Palembang. Methods: This research used a descriptive design with a cross-sectional approach. A total of 132 seventh-grade female students were selected randomly. Data were collected through an anemia symptom questionnaire and hemoglobin level measurement using a hemoglobinometer. Results: The study found that 23.5% of respondents were anemic (Hb < 12 g/dL), and 48.5% showed symptoms of anemia. However, the sensitivity of symptoms in detecting anemia was only 39%, specificity was 19%, with a positive predictive value (PPV) of 60.93% and a negative predictive value (NPV) of 8.82%. Conclusion: Based on the findings, symptom-based detection alone is not sufficiently accurate to diagnose anemia. Hemoglobin level examination is still required as a more valid and objective screening method for the early detection of anemia in adolescent girls In addition to medical intervention, the study advocates for increased awareness and education about anemia, its causes, and prevention methods among students, parents, and educators. Addressing nutritional deficiencies, especially iron intake, through dietary improvements and supplementation is essential in combating anemia in adolescent girls.

This research was conducted on fourth-grade students of SD Negeri 01 Karang with the aim of analyzing the effect of the implementation of the Javanese culture-based Project Based Learning (PjBL) model on students' communication skills in the 2025/2026 academic year. The research subjects were 25 students, consisting of 12 male students and 13 female students. This type of research is quantitative with a One Group Pre-Test Post-Test Design. The research procedure began with the administration of a pre-research questionnaire to determine the level of instrument validity, and the results of the validity test showed that there were 10 questionnaire items that met the valid criteria for use in data collection. Data analysis was carried out through a normality test using the One-Sample Shapiro-Wilk formula and a hypothesis test using the Paired Sample T-Test formula. The results of the analysis showed a significance value <0.000 with a probability <0.05, so it can be concluded that the research hypothesis is proven, namely there is a significant effect of the implementation of the Javanese culture-based PjBL model on improving the communication skills of fourth-grade students. These findings confirm that project-based learning linked to local cultural contexts not only improves communication skills but also helps students better understand and appreciate their local cultural values. Thus, cultural integration in the PjBL model is an effective strategy for improving the quality of learning, both academically and strengthening students' cultural identities.

Anemia is a medical condition characterized by a lower-than-normal number of red blood cells or hemoglobin levels in the blood. This results in a reduced ability of the blood to carry oxygen throughout the body. Consequently, individuals with anemia may experience various symptoms such as fatigue, dizziness, and shortness of breath. The main causes of anemia are generally due to a lack of knowledge about this condition and deficiencies in nutrients such as iron.The purpose of this study is to determine the level of knowledge among ninth-grade female students regarding the prevention of anemia and their ability to prevent it. This study uses a descriptive research method, focusing on describing the level of knowledge of ninth-grade female students about the prevention of anemia.The study uses the Total Sampling method as the sampling technique, which means that all members of the population are included as respondents. Therefore, the number of respondents in this study is equal to the total population of female students, which are 54 individuals. Data collection is conducted using a closed-ended questionnaire consisting of 20 items covering indicators such as the definition of anemia, its etiology, signs and symptoms, treatment, and prevention.The results of the study show that knowledge regarding the definition of anemia is in the good category for 35 respondents (64.8%), knowledge about etiology is in the fair category for 35 respondents (64.8%), knowledge of signs and symptoms was in the fair category for 45 respondents (83.3%), knowledge about treatment is in the good category for 33 respondents (61.1%), and knowledge of prevention is in the fair category for 32 respondents (59.3%).It is hoped that by increasing the knowledge of ninth-grade female students about the prevention of anemia, schools and health workers can work together to carry out regular health education.

Dysmenorrhea is a painful cramping or aching sensation in the lower abdomen, often radiating to the lower back, hips, and thighs. This condition significantly affects daily activities, limiting women’s physical and academic performance, particularly among female students who frequently experience dysmenorrhea during menstruation. Various interventions can help prevent or reduce the prevalence and severity of dysmenorrhea, including specific physical exercises such as McKenzie exercises and Kegel exercises. McKenzie exercises focus on strengthening and mobilizing the lower back and abdominal muscles, whereas Kegel exercises target the pelvic floor muscles to enhance circulation and reduce uterine tension. The purpose of this study was to determine the difference in effectiveness between Kegel exercises and McKenzie exercises in alleviating dysmenorrhea pain among adolescents aged 12–15 years at SMP Negeri 28 Semarang. The study employed an experimental two-group pre-posttest design with a total sample of 22 female students who met the inclusion criteria. The Randomized Controlled Trial (RCT) technique was used to assign participants to the intervention groups. Pain intensity was measured using the Quadruple Visual Analog Scale (QVAS) both before and after the interventions, which were administered three times per week over a three-week period. The results showed a statistically significant reduction in pain for both groups, with a p-value of 0.001 (p < 0.05), indicating that both McKenzie and Kegel exercises effectively decreased dysmenorrhea pain. The study concluded that there is a measurable difference in the effectiveness of these two exercise interventions, emphasizing the importance of selecting appropriate physical exercises tailored to adolescent students for dysmenorrhea management. These findings provide evidence-based guidance for educators, healthcare providers, and adolescents seeking non-pharmacological strategies to reduce menstrual pain and improve quality of life.

Vaginal discharge is a reproductive health problem that commonly occurs in adolescent women and can be influenced by the individual’s level of knowledge and attitude towards intimate organ hygiene. Lack of understanding can increase the risk of pathological vaginal discharge. This study aims to determine the relationship between knowledge and attitudes towards the incidence of vaginal discharge in adolescent women. Based on data obtained from a research study conducted at SMPN 5 Pangkalpinang class VIII in February 2025, 7 out of 10 female students have experienced vaginal discharge. This means that most of the eighth grade female students who have experienced puberty experience whiteness in their lives. This research uses a quantitative design with a cross-sectional approach. The sample consisted of 68 respondents selected using purposive sampling technique. Data was collected through a structured questionnaire which had been tested for validity and reliability. Data analysis was carried out using the Chi-Square test. The research results showed that 57 (83.8%) respondents had experienced vaginal discharge, while the other 11 respondents (16.2%) had never experienced vaginal discharge. In the knowledge variable, 51 (75%) respondents had low knowledge, 13 (19.1%) had sufficient knowledge and the remaining 4 (5.9%) had high knowledge, while for the attitude variable 55 (80.9%) had a negative attitude, 13 (19.1%) other respondents had a positive attitude towards the incidence of vaginal discharge at SMPN 5 Pangkalpinang. The results of this study indicate that there is a significant relationship between knowledge and attitudes towards vaginal discharge with a Sig value of p = .000 < 0.05.It is recommended that the SMPN 5 Pangkalpinang school provide education, promotion or health education about the incidence of vaginal discharge, so that it can improve the health status of teenagers. And for educational institutions to further deepen students’ knowledge of health by increasing knowledge about the incidence of vaginal discharge, especially in adolescents.

This study aims to determine the level of body dissatisfaction among individuals experiencing food addiction. Food addiction is characterized by impulsive and uncontrolled eating behavior, particularly toward high-fat and high-sugar foods, accompanied by physical and psychological dependence. This condition increases the risk of weight gain and negatively impacts body image, especially among female college students who are vulnerable to social pressure and ideal beauty standards. The research employed a descriptive quantitative approach with incidental sampling techniques. Participants consisted of six female students from the Psychology and Primary School Teacher Education (PGSD) programs at Universitas Negeri Padang, selected based on the food addiction criteria outlined in the DSM-5. The Body Shape Questionnaire (BSQ-16A) was used to measure body dissatisfaction levels. Data were analyzed using percentage distribution to provide a general overview of body dissatisfaction among the research subjects. The results showed that 66.66% of participants experienced high to very high levels of body dissatisfaction. This indicates a positive relationship between food addiction and body dissatisfaction. Students with food addiction tend to have negative perceptions of their body shape, influenced by social pressures, media exposure, and prevailing beauty ideals in society. These findings highlight the need for appropriate psychological interventions and education about healthy eating habits and self-acceptance in university environments. Through a comprehensive approach, it is hoped that students can develop a more positive body image and avoid eating disorders that may harm their physical and mental health. Additionally, this study can serve as a basis for developing mental health promotion programs and eating disorder prevention efforts among university students.
