Online media play a significant role in shaping public perception through framing processes, particularly on sensitive social issues such as protests. This study aims to analyze and compare how two Indonesian online news platforms, Kompas.com and Indozone.id, framed the student protest at Dongduk Women’s University in South Korea. This research employs a qualitative descriptive approach using Robert N. Entman’s framing model, which includes four elements: defining problems, diagnosing causes, making moral judgments, and suggesting remedies. The data were derived from two news articles published in November 2024. The findings reveal that Kompas.com applied a more critical and comprehensive framing approach, emphasizing social context, historical cases of sexual harassment, and the importance of safe spaces for women. In contrast, Indozone.id focused on the virality aspect, providing minimal analysis and omitting moral and solution-oriented framing. These differences reflect the editorial orientation of each platform and highlight the need for media literacy in an era dominated by algorithm-driven journalism. The study underscores how media framing influences public understanding of gender justice and women's education issues.

A comfortable classroom environment plays a crucial role in supporting effective learning processes at the elementary school level. This comfort includes physical aspects such as lighting, ventilation, cleanliness, and room arrangement, as well as psychological aspects such as peer relationships, teacher approach, and emotional atmosphere in the classroom. When students feel physically and emotionally comfortable, they tend to be more focused, calm, and ready to absorb learning material. A pleasant environment can create a positive learning experience and foster enthusiasm for school activities. This study aims to examine the influence of classroom environmental comfort on elementary school students’ learning motivation. Using a descriptive approach, data were collected through observations and questionnaires that explored students’ perceptions of their classroom conditions. The results show that the more comfortable students feel in their classroom, the greater their motivation to actively engage in learning activities. A supportive classroom atmosphere is proven to enhance learning spirit, participation, and curiosity. Based on these findings, it is recommended that schools pay closer attention to classroom comfort as part of a broader strategy to improve the quality of education at the elementary level.

The Enterprise University Website is an academic platform for internship students and employees at PT Petrokimia Gresik. This study aims to measure user satisfaction with the Enterprise University website and identify priority improvements using the e-Servqual and IPA methods. The e-Servqual method is applied through seven dimensions: Efficiency, System Availability, Fulfillment, Privacy, Responsiveness, Compensation, and Contact. Based on these, service indicators that should be the main focus for improvement are determined using the Importance-Performance Analysis (IPA) method. This research is a quantitative study. The sample consists of 49 Merdeka internship students at PT Petrokimia Gresik who are also users of the Enterprise University website. The results show that based on e-Servqual calculations, the overall average gap between user perceptions and expectations is (-0.61). This indicates that the service quality of the Enterprise University website is still lacking and does not provide user satisfaction. Furthermore, data analysis using the IPA method, as shown in the Cartesian diagram, reveals that the top improvement priorities lie in three indicators located in Quadrant I. The findings of this study can serve as a basis for strategic decision-making by platform managers to optimize services and enhance user satisfaction in the academic processes at PT Petrokimia Gresik.

This study explores senior high school students’ experiences and perceptions of using Wordwall, a gamified learning platform, in writing descriptive texts in an Indonesian EFL classroom.

This study aims to analyze student acceptance of the use of mobile-based learning media and augmented reality (AR) in the Electrical Circuit course at the Electrical Engineering Study Program at Padang State University. Using a mixed method approach, this research combines quantitative techniques through the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) and qualitative approaches to explore student experiences through interviews. The results show that students' perceptions of ease of use (PEOU) have a significant effect on perceived usefulness (PU), which then affects attitudes towards use (ATU) and acceptance (ACC) of AR learning media. However, the relationship between PEOU and ATU, as well as PU and ATU, is not significant, indicating that affective aspects still need attention to increase positive attitudes towards the technology. Based on these findings, it is recommended that learning media developers pay attention to the user experience dimension and involve social factors and support in learning so that technology acceptance can be optimized. In conclusion, the successful integration of AR technology in education depends not only on convenience and usability, but also on emotional and social experiences that can support a more thorough learning process.

The findings reveal that young people still hold potential interest in this vocation when supported by strong theological narratives, integrated mentoring strategies, and 21st-century skills. This research recommends the revitalization of holistic and contextual Christian education systems to address contemporary challenges and rekindle youth interest in pursuing a career as CRE teachers.

This community service activity aims to increase the motivation, confidence, and love of male students for traditional Acehnese art, particularly the Likok Pulo dance. This dance is characterized by its energetic and rhythmic nature, making it suitable as a dance teaching material for male students who have previously shown little interest in participating in dance activities.

Background: Smoking among adolescents in Pidie, Aceh, is a growing public health concern, marked by increasing prevalence and significant household expenditure despite known health risks. This behavior persists due to cultural and social influences and a lack of motivation to quit, with adolescents' perceptions of risk, though crucial, not fully understood. Method : This analytical cross-sectional survey of 303 male high school students in Pidie used Partial Least Squares (PLS) to examine the relationship between Health Belief Model (HBM) factors and smoking cessation efforts. Result : The findings revealed that perceived barriers (t-statistic = 4.284 > t-table = 1.96), perceived susceptibility (t-statistic = 2.050 > t-table = 1.96), and perceived benefits (t-statistic = 4.082 > t-table = 1.96) had a direct significant relationship with cessation attempts, while perceived severity did not. Conclution: This study concluded that perceived barriers actually motivate quitting, with negative experiences like health problems for themselves or family acting as triggers. Therefore, understanding both the benefits and barriers is key to increasing smoking cessation motivation among adolescent males.
