This research was motivated by the rising number of adolescent girls experiencing body shaming, which can lead to negative consequences, particularly affecting their self-confidence. The aim of this study is to explore the impacts felt by female junior high school students after experiencing body shaming. A descriptive method was employed, using questionnaires, interviews, and documentation as data collection techniques. The population of this study consisted of 144 eighth-grade female students at SMP Negeri 213 Jakarta in the 2024/2025 academic year. The sample was selected through purposive sampling, with a total of 50 participants. The data were analyzed using descriptive analysis techniques. The results of the study show that: 1) Body shaming has a significant impact on the four analyzed aspects: global subjective satisfaction, affective distress regarding appearance, cognitive aspects of body image, and behavioral aspects of body shaming. Each aspect shows a negative influence, although the intensity varies. 2) In this study, the cognitive aspect was identified as the most dominant impact, with 38% of respondents categorized as experiencing a high level.
 

This study aims to improve students' learning outcomes in Social Sciences (IPS) through the implementation of the Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) learning model. The background of this study is based on the low learning outcomes of IPS in class VII of SMP Negeri 3 Jakarta, as well as the lack of variations in innovative learning models. The study used the Classroom Action Research (CAR) method of the Kemmis and McTaggart model which was carried out in two cycles. Each cycle includes the stages of planning, implementation, observation, and reflection. The subjects of the study were 36 class VII-B students. Data collection techniques used learning outcome tests, observations, interviews, and documentation. The results of the study showed a significant increase in student learning outcomes. In the first cycle, the percentage of students who achieved the Minimum Completion Criteria (KKM) was 77.77%, increasing to 91.6% in the second cycle. In addition, student activity in learning activities also increased. These results prove that the Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) learning model is able to integrate social studies concepts with real situations, thus facilitating students' understanding and improving the quality of learning.
 
 

The phenomenon of online loans has emerged as a financial innovation that transforms the pattern of access to funds within urban communities. The convenience of obtaining loans without complex requirements has contributed to the rise of a consumerist lifestyle, especially among the younger generation. This study aims to analyze the correlation between the use of online loans and the dynamics of consumerist lifestyles in urban society. By employing a literature review and descriptive-qualitative analysis methods, the research reveals that low financial literacy, social pressure, and the influence of social media intensify the tendency toward instant loan-based consumerist behavior. Psychological factors such as FOMO (Fear of Missing Out) and the philosophy of YOLO (You Only Live Once) further reinforce this consumerist behavioral pattern. The results of the study show that the phenomenon of online loans not only impacts financial issues but also causes psychological stress and shapes compulsive consumption patterns.
 

The shift from a high school environment to a college environment brings greater demands. This condition can cause the emergence of the culture shock phenomenon. This phenomenon underscores the importance of students having the ability to adapt to all demands that arise during lectures. Lecture adaptation refers to student interaction with the lecture environment. Considering the fact that lecture adaptation is complex, the forms of lecture adaptation are divided into 4 including academic adaptation, social adaptation, emotional adaptation, and adaptation to the institution. The purpose of this study is to find out more deeply about the adaptation carried out by students who experience culture shock in lectures. This research uses a qualitative method, to find out more about the adaptation carried out by students. The results of the study found that 1 in 4 students had not reached the adjusment stage, due to the complexity of adaptation to lectures. The three students who succeeded in adapting were none other than their efforts by being open to change, learning to develop themselves, and social support from dominant friends to help students adapt.

Learning organisation strategies or Learning Strategies refer to the ways used by educators or instructors to organise and structure the learning process to be effective and efficient. Where there are 3 indicators, namely modification of time allocation, modification of content or material and modification of the teaching-learning process. Sekolah Menengah Pertama Negeri 40 Jakarta opens a pathway for students with special needs or often called people with disabilities. This study aims to describe the modification of time allocation for children with special needs (ABK) in the Merdeka Curriculum of SMPN 40 Jakarta. The type of research used in this study is a descriptive method with a quantitative approach. Social Studies Learning Strategy for children with special needs is included in the good categorisation with a percentage of data accumulation results of 68%. This means that the modification of time allocation for children with disabilities at SMPN 40 Jakarta has been done well.

Utilization of Augmented Reality (AR) in learning Social Sciences (IPS) with a focus on presenting historical information. Augmented Reality is a technology that allows users to see the real world with the addition of digital elements, such as images, text, or 3D objects inserted in the physical environment. This research illustrates how AR can be used in social studies learning to improve students' understanding of history. By integrating AR into the learning experience, students can access additional information visually and interactively. For example, they can "see" historical figures or historical events through 3D projections that appear on top of textbooks or other learning materials. The results of this research show that the use of AR in social studies learning can increase student engagement, increase their understanding of historical material, and make learning more interesting. Apart from that, the use of AR also allows personalized learning and is tailored to students' abilities and interests. Thus, the use of AR in social studies learning, especially in the context of presenting historical information, can be an effective tool for creating a deeper and more interesting learning experience for students. Further research and development of more sophisticated AR applications in this area could be the next step in utilizing this technology in education.
