Ghost stories are part of the culture that plays a role in shaping adolescents' understanding and perception of the immaterial world. However, culture and the role of digital media can also influence adolescents' understanding and perception. This study aims to determine the perception of ghosts in adolescents and understand the subjective experiences of late adolescents (aged 17–19 years) in forming these perceptions. This study employed a qualitative approach with a phenomenological method with Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis data analysis. Subjects were selected purposively. The data collection process involved in-depth interviews. The results of the study show that adolescents' perceptions of ghosts are complex and influenced by several factors, namely culture, social media, religion, social narratives, and individual experiences. These results indicate that understanding the dynamics of the formation of adolescents' perceptions of metaphysical phenomena in the digital era is very important. This has an impact on developmental and educational psychology, especially in helping adolescents understand and manage their emotions, imagination, and the way they think about supernatural stories.

Culture and social life are one particle that becomes a binding unity, culture faithfully escorts the development of human civilization from pre-Islamic times to the perfect Islamic era as a teaching from ancient Greece to modern times like today. From this long process, culture basically has values that can traditionally be passed on to the next generations. Indonesia is a country that has a lot of culture, which consists of a collection of cultures that exist throughout the Indonesian homeland in the form of local culture. Foreign cultures continue to enter unstoppably into Indonesia which can erode or dilute the local culture owned by the Indonesian people. This problem lies in the need for the government's role in protecting Indonesian culture in the era of globalisation, such as in preserving local culture, the government must facilitate all forms of artistic activities held by the community, besides that the government also has a role to provide support in activities related to culture and open as much as possible the participation of young people or adolescents in maintaining its preservation. The research method used is descriptive method, the foundation of the research method is the philosophy of postpositivism. It aims to be able to determine whether the social and cultural life movement will succeed in having a broad impact and provide changes in living standards as expected.

Folklore as a literary work reflects the lives of people, including the origins of a particular place.

. ChatGPT is one of the growing innovations in artificial intelligence (AI) technology in the field of education, aiming to assist humans in finding information and completing work efficiently. However, students' lack of understanding of the positive uses and benefits of ChatGPT as a self-learning medium results in low adoption rates and underutilized learning potential. Therefore, this study aims to understand the level of acceptance and the impact that influences students in adopting ChatGPT technology so that it can provide direction and recommendations for schools to increase their self-learning awareness through the utilization of AI. The study used a quantitative approach and interviews with public high school students with the construction of the UTAUT 2 model as a framework. The population of public high school students was 3,405, probability sampling was used as the sampling method then the data was processed using SEM analysis using SmartPLS 3.2.9 software.

Indonesian language learning is a national language learning that is closely related to national values. Until now, learning Indonesian is used as a main subject in an educational institution. The role of Indonesian in learning at the junior high school level is expected to be able to realize the profile of Pancasila students who are instilled through national values in learning Indonesian. Therefore, the research conducted included an educational institution, namely a junior high school with an area coverage in Surakarta. This article aims to focus on the integration of national values in Indonesian language learning to realize the Pancasila Student Profile at the junior high school level in the Surakarta region. This article uses a qualitative method using field note data that has been made. The data source for this article is field note data from the results of the implementation of junior high school students in the city of Surakarta.

The development of AI is having a significant impact on education. AI applications are designed to improve student understanding, but their implementation faces challenges that affect user acceptance. Initial research with the UTAUT2 model in public high schools showed that only hedonic motivation, habit, facilitating conditions, and behavioral intention had a significant influence on application acceptance and use. Therefore, this study will use a simplification model that focuses on significant variables, namely hedonic motivation (HM) and habit (H) on behavioral intention (BI), as well as facilitating conditions (FC), habit (H), and behavioral intention (BI) on use behavior (UB). This study is expected to provide in-depth insight into the important factors that influence the acceptance and use of AI applications in learning, as well as provide practical contributions to improve the implementation of learning technology in high schools.

With the rapid development of technology, its use has expanded to all sectors, including education. Artificial Intelligence (AI) plays an important role in providing innovative solutions, mimicking human intelligence, and potentially replacing human roles in several functions. In education, AI has proven to enhance learning motivation and active student participation. YouChat, an AI chatbot based on GPT-3.5, is used as a learning assistant offering features such as answering questions and providing idea suggestions. Observations and literature studies show that this application has great potential to improve students' learning experiences. This thesis aims to evaluate the acceptance of the YouChat application on students' learning experiences in public higher education institutions in Surabaya using the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM). Data were collected from 399 students and processed using the SEM-PLS technique with SmartPLS 3.2.9 software, including outer model, inner model, and hypothesis testing. The thesis results show that perceived enjoyment and perceived informativeness significantly affect attitude, which in turn affects the intention to use. The variable trust also moderates the effect of perceived informativeness on attitude. This thesis provides insights into students' acceptance of the YouChat application in their learning process as an evaluation for improvement, development, and enhancement for both YouChat and educational institutions.
