The data were analyzed using the Miles and Huberman interactive model, which consists of data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing and verification. The findings reveal that parental support positively influences students' learning abilities by increasing motivation, fostering positive learning habits, encouraging active participation in school activities, and strengthening communication between home and school. Students whose parents consistently provided emotional, motivational, and academic support demonstrated better learning outcomes and greater engagement in classroom activities. The study concludes that parental support plays a crucial role in enhancing elementary students' learning abilities and emphasizes the importance of strong collaboration between parents and schools to create an effective and supportive learning environment.

This study aims to examine the physical representation of women based on gynocritical theory, as constructed through diction and figures of speech via stylistic analysis. This is a qualitative study employing a descriptive method. The data source for this study is the poetry anthology “Catatan-Catatan dari Bulan” by Rieke Saraswati, while the research data consists of quotations (containing diction and figures of speech) that represent the physical aspects of women. The data collection techniques used are documentation and note-taking. The documentation technique was used to identify primary data, namely the poetry anthology “Catatan-Catatan dari Bulan” by Rieke Saraswati, while the read-and-note technique was used to identify the diction and figures of speech that represent the physical aspects of women. The data analysis technique in this study is textual analysis through two approaches: stylistic analysis to dissect vocabulary and figures of speech, and gynocritical analysis to examine the physical representation of women. The findings reveal that the physical representation of women is constructed through vocabulary and figures of speech, including bodily anatomy, physiological conditions, and biological experiences. These findings confirm that female poets incorporate their unique experiences into the creation of literary works, which aligns with a central theory in gynocriticism, the physical experience of women.

This study aims to analyze the influence of self-efficacy on the motivation of the characters Desi and Aini in Andrea Hirata's novel Guru Aini based on Albert Bandura's Social Cognitive Theory. This research employed a qualitative descriptive method with a literary psychology approach. The research data consisted of textual excerpts illustrating the characters' behaviors, thoughts, and attitudes, which were collected through literature review using reading, observation, and note-taking techniques. Data were analyzed based on the four sources of self-efficacy, namely mastery experiences, vicarious experiences, verbal persuasion, and physiological and emotional states. The findings reveal that the motivation of both Desi and Aini is shaped by the interaction of these four sources of self-efficacy. Desi's self-efficacy is reflected in her perseverance, idealism, self-evaluation, and commitment as an educator despite encountering various teaching challenges. Meanwhile, Aini's self-efficacy develops through her learning experiences, Guru Desi's exemplary role, verbal encouragement from her social environment, and a strong emotional drive to fulfill her aspiration of becoming a doctor in order to treat her father. Overall, this study demonstrates that self-efficacy plays a crucial role in developing and sustaining the motivation of both characters, while also contributing to the advancement of literary psychology studies by providing a deeper understanding of the psychological dynamics of literary characters.

Social media has become a primary platform for information dissemination and public opinion formation, making language use a crucial factor in shaping audience perceptions. One phenomenon that attracted widespread public attention was the viral blocking and subsequent restoration of Vilmei's TikTok account, which generated various forms of communication directed toward her followers. The uploaded content served not only as a means of communication but also demonstrated the use of figurative language capable of evoking emotions, fostering empathy, and encouraging audience engagement. This study aims to describe the types of figurative language employed in Vilmei's TikTok content and explain their functions in constructing meaning and influencing public responses. The study adopted a descriptive qualitative approach using stylistic analysis. The data consisted of utterances and textual content found in Vilmei's TikTok videos uploaded during the account blocking and restoration period. Data were collected through documentation, observation, and note-taking techniques, while data analysis followed the Miles and Huberman model. The findings reveal that the dominant language styles include metaphor, repetition, hyperbole, and emotive diction, which function to strengthen emotional expression, build emotional closeness with followers, enhance audience engagement, shape the creator's self-image, and influence public responses. This study demonstrates that language style plays an essential role in creating effective communication on social media and can serve as a reference for language studies and digital literacy.

The news of the death of Affan Kurniawan, an online motorcycle taxi driver who lost his life in clashes during demonstrations in Jakarta, sparked an extraordinary public reaction and gave rise to the narrative of "Justice for Affan." This information not only conveyed facts but also shaped the construction of justice and social emotions through media rhetorical techniques. This study aims to analyze how the narrative of justice and social emotions was formed in the reporting of Affan's death, using the perspective of Aristotle's rhetoric, which consists of Ethos, Pathos, and Logos. The method applied was descriptive qualitative analysis, focusing on news texts from the international news portal The Straits Times. The results of the analysis indicate that Ethos was constructed through the selection of sources deemed credible, such as the victim's family and official statements from authorities; Pathos was reflected in the use of emotional language, depictions of grief, and representations of public anger; while Logos was demonstrated through the presentation of the sequence of events and supporting evidence. These findings indicate that reporting is not merely neutral but uses rhetorical strategies to create empathy, solidarity, and demands for justice among the audience. Thus, this analysis underscores the importance of rhetoric in mass media in influencing public perceptions and social reactions to tragic events.

This study aims to describe language variation and language functions in beauty product advertising slogans on TikTok during 2025–2026. A descriptive qualitative method with a sociolinguistic approach was employed. The data consist of words, phrases, and sentences found in beauty product advertising slogans posted on TikTok accounts of skincare brands, cosmetics brands, and beauty influencers. Data were collected through observation and note-taking techniques, while data analysis followed the stages of data reduction, classification, interpretation, and drawing conclusions. The findings reveal that TikTok beauty advertising slogans are predominantly characterized by code-mixing (Indoglish) and slang varieties. These language forms are used to create a modern, trendy, and engaging impression that aligns with digital communication culture. In addition, the dominant language functions identified are informative and persuasive (conative) functions. The informative function is used to deliver product information, while the persuasive function aims to influence consumers’ purchasing decisions. Overall, the use of language variation in TikTok beauty advertising slogans indicates that language in digital media functions not only as a means of communication but also as a marketing strategy and a representation of contemporary lifestyle, particularly among Generation Z users.

This study aims to describe the form and sociolinguistic function of Generation Z language representation used by content creator Fujianti Utami Putri on social media. A descriptive qualitative approach with content analysis method was applied to dissect this linguistic phenomenon deeply. The data source consists of an audio-visual document from a single video titled "Mau ketemu bayiiiii" (2026), lasting 1 minute and 53 seconds, downloaded from the official TikTok account @fujiiian. The research data includes words, phrases, and sentences in oral utterances as well as on-screen text that contain the linguistic characteristics of the younger generation. Data collection used the observation method through the Uninvolved Conversation Observation Technique (SBLC) and note-taking technique. Data analysis was completed through data reduction, data display in matrix tables, contextual interpretation, and conclusion drawing. The results show 12 data units classified into four main categories: first, English code-switching (stress relief, glowing, glass skin), second, regional dialects adapted into national slang (sat-set and ruwet), third, creative affixation neologisms (ngonten), and fourth, hyperbolic dictions (mantul). Functionally, this hybrid language variety acts as a strategic sociolinguistic instrument to strengthen the collective identity among Generation Z while breaking down formality barriers between a public figure and the audience to build emotional intimacy. This phenomenon proves that the Indonesian language is a living entity that continues to evolve creatively amidst digital technology disruption.  

This study aims to examine the construction of critical discourse against elitism and materialism in the lyrics of Iwan Fals' song "Bento" using Teun A. Van Dijk's Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) approach. The CDA approach considers discourse as a social practice that demonstrates the relationship between ideology and power in society. This research was conducted using a qualitative descriptive method with text analysis of micro, macro, and superstructure. The results show that the lyrics of the song "Bento" demonstrate a critique of elitism by depicting the character "Bento" as a symbol of an arrogant, exclusive, and alienated elite class. On the other hand, the lexical choices that emphasize material possession as a means of legitimizing social status and power are translated as materialism. The song "Bento" functions not only as a work of art but also as a tool for social criticism that encourages discussion about resistance to materialism and elitism in society

Digital transformation has introduced the TikTok addiction phenomenon into elementary schools, triggering behavioral and cognitive disruptions among students. The urgency of this study is based on findings of internal noise and intrusive behaviors that hinder the knowledge transfer process in the classroom. This study aims to analyze the manifestations of TikTok addiction and its impact on students' learning habits. This qualitative research employed a case study design. Data were collected through passive participant observation, in-depth interviews with 2 teachers and 5 students, and documentation studies. Data analysis followed the Miles and Huberman model, including data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. Findings indicate that TikTok addiction manifests as: (1) Concentration disorders due to the dominance of viral content such as "Tabola Bale" songs and "velocity" movements in students' minds; (2) Physical fatigue and acute procrastination leading to the loss of study time at home; and (3) Early social imitation through symbols like "black bracelets" indicating age-inappropriate adult behavior. The root cause was identified as personal gadget access starting from preschool age (Kindergarten). TikTok addiction fundamentally undermines students' learning habituation. The implication is that a collaborative strategy between schools and parents is necessary to strengthen digital literacy from an early age to mitigate the negative impacts of technology.

This research is motivated by the low literacy skills of students in Indonesia and the less than optimal reading culture at the UPT SDN Talang Tangah. The purpose of this study is to analyze teachers' efforts in improving students' reading literacy skills at the school. This study uses a qualitative approach with a case study research type. Researchers collected data through in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation with purposive sampling techniques. Data analysis using the Miles and Huberment model consisting of data reduction, data display and conclusions. carried out through the stages of data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The results show that teachers implemented various creative strategies, including reading habits at the beginning of learning, retelling activities, word play methods (learning through play), and the use of concrete media such as cards and letter boards. This strategy has proven effective in creating a fun learning atmosphere while increasing student understanding and involvement in literacy activities in elementary schools.

This study examines the ideological construction of meaning in Kompas TV news reporting on the Prabowo-Gibran cabinet's budget efficiency policy. The news article, published on February 19, 2025, juxtaposes public sector cuts with substantial official uniform allocations, suggesting inherent bias. While previous research has analyzed this text using Peirce's semiotics alone, this paper adopts a multi-theoretical framework incorporating Ferdinand de Saussure, Charles Sanders Peirce, Roland Barthes, and Umberto Eco to achieve a more comprehensive critical analysis. Through qualitative semiotic analysis, the study reveals that linguistic choices such as "was-was" and "fantastis" strategically shape ideological narratives at syntagmatic and paradigmatic levels. Peirce's triadic model identifies the official uniform as an icon of bureaucratic excess, budget figures as causal indexes, and efficiency terminology as contested symbols undergoing unlimited semiosis. Barthes' denotation-connotation-myth framework exposes a hidden myth portraying officials enjoying luxury while citizens endure austerity. Eco's perspective demonstrates that the news functions as a closed text, channeling readers toward a dominant interpretation by exploiting Indonesian cultural units and collective distrust in bureaucracy. These findings affirm that news texts are not neutral but active sites of ideological meaning construction, underscoring the necessity of critical media literacy.

Critical literacy is an essential competency that needs to be developed in Indonesian language learning to meet the demands of twenty-first-century education. Students are expected not only to understand information literally but also to analyze, evaluate, and reflect on various forms of information critically. This study aims to analyze the critical literacy content embedded in the Grade VII Indonesian language textbook used in junior high schools. The research employed a qualitative descriptive approach using content analysis as the primary method. The data source was the revised edition of the Grade VII Indonesian language textbook published by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Research, and Technology of Indonesia. Data were collected through documentation techniques and analyzed based on critical literacy indicators, including comprehension, analysis, evaluation, and reflection. The findings reveal that critical literacy content has been integrated into various learning activities, such as comparing information from multiple sources, identifying fake news (hoaxes), analyzing multimodal texts including posters and infographics, and engaging in reflection and discussion activities. These findings indicate that the textbook supports the development of critical thinking skills and Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS). However, the exploration of ideological perspectives, power relations, and sociocultural contexts within texts remains limited and requires further enhancement. Therefore, future textbook development should incorporate deeper dimensions of critical literacy to foster students who are critical, reflective, and responsive to social issues in contemporary society.

This study aims to analyze the pragmatic aspects found in the short story Warisan untuk Doni by Putu Ayub through the examination of locutionary, illocutionary, and perlocutionary speech acts. As a literary work, a short story functions not only as a medium of entertainment but also as a means of conveying values and life lessons to readers. Therefore, a pragmatic approach is employed to reveal the meanings, intentions, and effects of utterances expressed by the characters in the story. This research uses a qualitative descriptive method. The data source is the short story Warisan untuk Doni, which is included in the short story collection Aku, Dia, Mereka by Putu Ayub. Data were collected through reading and note-taking techniques and analyzed by identifying and classifying utterances based on the categories of locutionary, illocutionary, and perlocutionary speech acts. The findings indicate that the short story contains various forms of speech acts that function to convey information, intentions, expectations, advice, and influence the actions and responses of other characters. Locutionary acts are reflected in utterances that provide direct information, illocutionary acts appear in utterances containing specific intentions such as advising and directing, while perlocutionary acts are evident in utterances that produce effects or behavioral changes in interlocutors. The study concludes that pragmatic elements play a significant role in constructing the storyline and conveying moral values related to responsibility, hard work, and wisdom in managing life.

Evaluation is an important component in the Arabic language learning process because it functions to determine the level of students' achievement in reaching learning objectives. In educational practice, the terms measurement, assessment, and evaluation are often used interchangeably, even though they have different meanings in terms of concept, function, and scope. This article aims to analyze the fundamental differences between measurement, assessment, and evaluation and to examine the urgency of their application in Arabic language learning. The method used in this study is a literature study by reviewing various books and scientific journals related to educational evaluation. The results of the study show that measurement focuses on collecting data in the form of numerical scores, assessment is the process of interpreting the results of measurement, while evaluation is a broader process used to determine the effectiveness of a learning program. The application of these three concepts can be found in the four Arabic language skills: listening (istima’), speaking (kalam), reading (qira’ah), and writing (kitabah). In addition, a good evaluation system should consider the principles of objectivity, validity, reliability, and fairness so that the results can accurately reflect students' abilities. Therefore, a proper understanding of measurement, assessment, and evaluation is essential for developing an effective and quality evaluation system in Arabic language learning.

Elementary school science and social studies (IPAS) learning is currently still dominated by conventional, rote-oriented methods (teacher-centered), resulting in shallow conceptual understanding and relatively low student learning outcomes. This study aims to describe the integration of the deep learning approach in IPAS learning at elementary schools and to comprehensively analyze its impact on student learning outcomes. The research method used is a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) applying the PRISMA protocol through the Sinta-accredited national journal database within the last five years of publication. Based on the synthesis of the included articles, it was found that the integration of deep and interactive learning approaches significantly exerts a multidimensional positive impact on students' learning profiles. This innovative instructional tactic is proven to boost classical completeness in the cognitive domain through long-term conceptual retention, optimize affective responses in the form of motivation and curiosity through a joyful learning environment, and sharpen process skills in children's psychomotor domain collaboratively. The implication of this study demands a reform of educators' instructional designs to shift toward interactive media and contextual problem-solving models to support the success of the Merdeka Curriculum.

The findings indicate that the poem portrays themes of individualism, freedom, struggle, and resilience through expressive diction and strong imagery. The objective analysis reveals that the poem is structured by various literary elements that strengthen its aesthetic quality and meaning. Meanwhile, the pragmatic analysis shows that the poem encourages readers to reflect on human existence, independence, courage, and the search for meaning in life. The study implies that literary appreciation through objective and pragmatic approaches can enrich readers’ understanding of literary works and foster critical interpretation skills in literature learning.

This study aims to identify errors in the formulation of Classroom Action Research (CAR) titles, analyze the patterns of errors that emerge, and explain their impact on the direction of the research. The study employed a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method, with data sources obtained from the Google Scholar and Scopus databases. The selection process involved the stages of identification, screening, eligibility assessment, and inclusion, resulting in 11 relevant articles. Data analysis was conducted qualitatively through data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The results indicate that errors in formulating CLR titles can be classified into three categories: structural, substantive, and linguistic errors. The most frequently identified errors include unclear actions in the title, the use of overly general variables, and the use of ineffective language. These errors result in inaccuracies in the research direction, such as inconsistencies between the title and the research problem, objectives, and methods. Therefore, the formulation of PTK titles must be done carefully, clearly, and specifically to accurately reflect the research content and support the coherence among research components.

These strategies indicate a tendency to provide greater visibility and narrative space to university students as the primary critics of government policies. The study implies that social actor representation in news media is not entirely neutral but is shaped by linguistic choices and discursive strategies that influence how social realities are constructed and interpreted by readers.

Walisongo are known as prominent figures in the spread of Islam in Java, popular in both oral traditions and classical manuscripts such as Babad Tanah Jawi and Babad Gresik I, while studies on their relevance to the genealogy of local religious figures such as KH Raden Wangsadirana remain limited. This study aims to describe the discourse on the genealogy of Walisongo based on a comparative analysis of the Ahla al-Musamarah and Tarikh al-Auliya' books, to analyze the figures of Walisongo in Babad Tanah Jawi and Babad Gresik I, as well as to trace and reconstruct the genealogy of KH Raden Wangsadirana and its relevance to the history of Walisongo. This research employs a qualitative approach using content analysis methods. The primary data sources are Babad Gresik I (Codex LOr No. 6780), Babad Tanah Jawi, as well as the Ahla al-Musamarah and Tarikh al-Auliya' books. Data collection was conducted through bibliographic studies, while data analysis used an integrative and conceptual approach to identify latent messages. The study finds that Walisongo in Babad Tanah Jawi not only served as disseminators of Islam but also as agents of political and cultural change during the transition from Majapahit to Demak. Genealogically, there are similarities and differences between the Ahla al-Musamarah and Tarikh al-Auliya' books regarding lineage order, names of figures, and the origin of Raden Patah's mother (Chinese vs. Campa). Nevertheless, both books agree that the walis are descendants of the Prophet Muhammad SAW. The genealogy of KH Raden Wangsadirana traces back to Sultan Hadiwijaya (Jaka Tingkir), Walisongo, and Prophet Muhammad SAW through the lineage of Syekh Jumadil Kubro. This research reinforces the understanding that the local history and genealogy.

The integration of artificial intelligence, particularly ChatGPT, has become an increasingly common phenomenon among university students in supporting various academic activities, such as searching for information, generating ideas, and completing assignments. On the other hand, in multilingual societies such as Indonesia, code-mixing is a natural, dynamic, and unavoidable linguistic practice in everyday communication, including interactions with artificial intelligence-based technologies. This study aims to analyze how ChatGPT responds to user prompts written using code-mixing, namely a combination of Indonesian with English or local languages. The study employed a qualitative descriptive method using sociolinguistic and human–computer interaction approaches. The research data were obtained by testing a series of simulated prompt texts containing various forms of code-mixing and analyzing the responses generated by ChatGPT. The findings indicate that ChatGPT is capable of understanding instructions expressed in mixed languages, adapting its response style to the communication context, and maintaining semantic accuracy in most cases. However, the study also reveals that the intensity and variation of code-mixing in user prompts significantly influence the accuracy of interpretation, the consistency of language style, and the formal structure of the generated output. Therefore, although ChatGPT demonstrates strong linguistic adaptability, the effectiveness of its responses remains influenced by the characteristics of code-mixing employed in user prompts.
