The increasing number of elderly people living in nursing homes is an important concern, given that their psychosocial and spiritual needs are often not optimally met. This study aims to analyze the life satisfaction of elderly people living in Omega Nursing Home in Semarang City. The main reason for this research is to understand in depth how the elderly make meaning of their lives and the satisfaction of life that has passed before, in situations that are often far from family and meaningful activities. This study used a qualitative method with a phenomenological approach, and involved 5 elderly participants selected through purposive sampling technique. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, then analyzed descriptively through the process of data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The results showed that the level of life satisfaction of the elderly varied greatly and was influenced by past experiences, acceptance of current conditions, expectations for the future, and the views of others. Some seniors showed resignation, regret and loneliness, while others felt comfortable, grateful and retained a zest for life. The main findings suggest that social relationships, spirituality, and communication with family are key determinants in shaping older adults' life satisfaction. This study emphasizes the important role of the nursing home in facilitating activities that build the social and spiritual relationships of the elderly, as well as the need to improve communication between the elderly and their families. The study suggests that elderly services should not only focus on physical needs, but also on psychosocial dimensions and self-actualization, to support the overall well-being of the elderly.

The rapid development of the times has brought significant changes that should be preserved as heritage rather than ignored. Traditional games, rich in cultural and ethnic values and beneficial for children's development, are increasingly being replaced by modern games considered more realistic and personal. However, modern games should still pay attention to children's motor and cognitive aspects. This study utilizes Herbert Spencer's cultural theory, which states that society and culture evolve from simpler forms to more complex ones. Additionally, Jean Piaget's theory of child motor development is used, which argues that games significantly enhance children's cognitive abilities. This research aims to examine how traditional games influence children's development in the modern era. A qualitative method is employed to understand how children adapt traditional games into more modern forms to support their motor and cognitive development. The results show that traditional games can significantly contribute to developing children's abilities and character. The role of parents and teachers is crucial in preserving these traditional games, which are rich in meaning and cultural values. The study concludes that traditional games like gobag sodor contain cultural values embedded within their activities. Furthermore, these games include physical components such as agility, speed, coordination, strength, and balance, which are relevant in educational settings, both in schools and higher education institutions.

Mass media serves as a vital communication medium that delivers crucial information to the public. In the digital era, technological advancements have facilitated easier access to news for audiences. This study aims to analyze the framing of the 2024 National Teacher’s Day coverage on the online media platforms sokoguru.id and mediaindonesia.com. Using a qualitative approach guided by Zhongdang Pan and Gerald M. Kosicki’s framing analysis model, this research uncovers how each outlet portrays the theme “Great Teachers, Strong Indonesia.” The findings reveal differing approaches: sokoguru.id focuses on tangible issues like teacher welfare and technological training, while mediaindonesia.com emphasizes symbolic tributes to teachers through celebratory narratives. Both platforms employed the inverted pyramid style in organizing their news and adhered to the 5W+1H elements. However, differences emerged in their thematic and rhetorical structures. This study highlights how media framing influences public perception of educational issues and underscores the importance of teacher welfare in building a high-quality education system.
