This study aims to determine the influence of the Time Token Learning Type learning model combined with science literacy on communication skills and cognitive learning outcomes of SMPN XYZ students. The background of this research is low communication skills and student learning outcomes that are still substandard, so an innovative learning approach is needed that can improve both aspects. The research method used was quasi experimental with a Pretest-Posttest Control Group Design. The research subjects involved one experimental class given Time Token Learning type learning with science literacy content and one control class that used conventional learning. The research instrument consisted of a reasoned multiple-choice test to measure cognitive learning outcomes and an observation sheet to assess communication skills. The results of the study show that the application of the Time Token Learning model with science literacy has a significant influence on improving students' cognitive learning outcomes. The average pretest score of 40 increased to 75 in the posttest with an N-Gain value of 45.5% which was in the medium category. These findings prove that the learning model is effective in improving students' understanding of concepts and cognitive thinking skills. However, the results of the analysis of communication skills did not show a significant improvement. In addition, the correlation between communication skills and learning outcomes was also insignificant with a significance value of 0.826 > 0.05. In conclusion, the Time Token Learning model with science literacy has proven to be effective in improving students' cognitive learning outcomes, but has not been able to optimally develop communication skills. Therefore, it is necessary to develop additional strategies or a combination of other learning models so that communication skills can develop in line with improving cognitive learning outcomes.

Wayfinding adalah proses mencari dan menentukan arah untuk mencapai tujuan dalam suatu lingkungan. Menurut Passini (1984), proses wayfinding meliputi tiga tahap utama: pengambilan keputusan, pelaksanaan keputusan, dan pemrosesan informasi. Proses ini melibatkan berbagai perilaku dan strategi navigasi yang berbeda tergantung perbedaan individual dan keadaan lingkungan. Studi ini mengkaji strategi navigasi berdasarkan klasifikasi perilaku wayfinding Barker (2019), yang mengelompokkan perilaku ke dalam tiga kategori utama: sosial, semantik, dan spasial. Berdasarkan Barker (2019) dan Dalton dkk. (2019) perilaku sosial melibatkan penggunaan informasi dari interaksi atau tindakan orang lain. Perilaku semantik menggunakan simbol dan petunjuk. Sedangkan perilaku spasial bergantung pada elemen fisik dan model kognitif di lingkungan. Melalui pencarian di berbagai database ilmiah, ditemukan 40 artikel yang diterbitkan antara tahun 1980 hingga 2025, dengan persentase penelitian terbaru dalam 10 tahun terakhir sekitar 60% yang dianalisis dalam kajian ini. Hasil dari tinjauan literatur ini menemukan bahwa individu dari berbagai kondisi dan latar belakang memiliki strategi navigasi yang berbeda, ada yang menggunakan perilaku sosial, perilaku semantik, atau perilaku spasial, bahkan ditemukan pula perilaku kombinasi. Pemahaman yang mendalam terhadap variasi perilaku ini memberikan implikasi penting dalam perancangan elemen arsitektur interior maupun sistem navigasi yang inklusif dan responsif terhadap kebutuhan seluruh pengguna.

This article aims to theoretically examine the relationship between unhealthy personality, cognitive distortion, and the application of Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) in counseling practice. This study uses a literature study method with a conceptual approach, namely analyzing relevant literature without collecting field data. The results of the study indicate that unhealthy personality is often influenced by cognitive distortions that cause individuals to view themselves and their environment negatively and irrationally. CBT is an effective counseling approach to help individuals recognize and reconstruct negative thought patterns to be more realistic and adaptive. In conclusion, CBT can be used as a psychological intervention strategy in dealing with unhealthy personality problems, especially in students who experience academic pressure and impostor syndrome.  

Drug abuse and trafficking are transnational issues that require serious attention from various countries. Indonesia and the Philippines, two countries in Southeast Asia, have developed different institutional approaches in combating drugs through the Badan Narkotika Naional (BNN) and the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA). This study aims to compare both institutions from the cultural-cognitive pillar based on William Richard Scott’s institutional theory. The method used is descriptive qualitative research with a literature study approach. The results show that BNN prioritizes rehabilitative and educational approaches that are increasingly accepted as a reasonable treatment pattern in Indonesia. Meanwhile, PDEA implements a repressive approach that is supported by most of the Filipino society, despite being accompanied by human rights violations. These findings indicate that collective thinking frameworks and public legitimacy play a crucial role in shaping institutional strategies and impacts in each country. This study provides significant implications regarding how societal mindsets influence the effectiveness of drug eradication efforts.
