This study aims to study the results of the application of digital media in overcoming the lack of concentration of students' interest in learning Social Sciences (IPS) in Elementary Schools. In IPS lessons there are various sciences about social and society, of course it is important to learn. The method used is a case study with a qualitative approach involving homeroom teachers and students. The results of the data obtained were taken by interviewing teachers and students involved in SDN 02 Situjuah Ladang Laweh, then data through direct observation results in the field along with documentation of teacher teaching to students. The results of this study have a fairly good impact on students, because teachers can combine learning with digital media that are currently developing. For example, such as showing interactive animated videos that can help students to concentrate on learning compared to previous teaching methods, interactive quizzes as evaluation results that can help improve students' understanding in understanding the material. Thus, the use of digital media has a good influence on the concentration of students' interest in learning IPS which can make students actively contribute to learning.

This study explores the role of pambiwara, traditional masters of ceremony, in preserving Javanese cultural heritage in Surakarta, Indonesia. Using a qualitative approach with purposive sampling, in-depth interviews were conducted with 15 informants, including students, teachers, and members of pambiwara courses from September 2 to 15, 2024. The findings shown that pambiwara hold significant cultural authority, which emphasized by the symbolic power which symbolized by the certificate awarded upon course completion. This credential not only affirms mastery of ceremonial practices but elevates its holder’s status, allowing them to conduct important ceremonies like mitoni and weddings. Furthermore, based on Bourdieu theory of symbolism, the study reveals that the certificate confers legitimacy and social prestige, positioning pambiwara as custodians of Javanese cultural traditions. However, as younger generations show increasing interest, challenges in maintaining this exclusivity emerge, underscoring the need for adaptive training methods and formal recognition to ensure the longevity of this cultural practice.

Children of growing age are susceptible to various diseases because their immune systems are still developing. In many rural areas in Indonesia, including Colo Village, Mount Muria, people still use traditional medicine to treat diseases in children. This study documents the knowledge and conservation efforts of the Colo Village community regarding medicinal plants used to treat children's diseases. Data were collected qualitatively through semi-structured interviews with forty residents from four hamlets. The findings showed that the community used fifty-six plant species to treat various children's diseases. The results showed that the Colo Village community used 56 plant species to treat diseases in children, such as the Zingiberaceae family, such as turmeric (Curcuma domestica Val.), black ginger (Curcuma aeruginoasa Robx), ginger (Zingiber officinale Rosc.), and others. Diseases that can be treated are: cough, fever, worms, colds, mumps, diarrhea, mouth ulcers, loss of appetite, mouth ulcers, convulsions, and wounds. Plant organs utilized include leaves (45%), rhizomes (18%), fruits (14%), tubers (9%), seeds (7%), stems (3%), and flowers (4%). Drug processing is done by pounding (56%), boiling (11%), grating (24%), slicing (7%), and brewing (2%). Most plants are obtained through cultivation (55%), followed by obtaining from nature (29%) and purchasing at the market (16%). The Colo Village community preserves medicinal plants by cultivating them in their yards and gardens and utilizing other traditional methods. Strengthening ethnobotanical knowledge, especially among the younger generation, is key to maintaining local wisdom and biodiversity in this village.

 

Japanese language learners whose native writing systems do not include kanji often encounter difficulties in using kanji effectively in complex discourse, remembering onyomi and kunyomi readings, and understanding their meanings. This study explores the effectiveness of kanji mapping as a strategy to enhance kanji comprehension and memorization among second-year students in the Japanese language Education Program at Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia (UPI). The research focuses on the Chukyu Hyouki course, which covers 220 N3 level kanji from the Kanji Master N3 textbook. Using a quasi-experimental one-group pre-test and post-test design, the study was conducted over three sessions involving 23 fourth-semester students. Data were collected through pre-tests, post-tests, and questionnaires. The findings indicate a significant improvement in kanji mastery, with average test scores increasing from 66.6 to 88.1. Questionnaire responses further suggest that students found kani mapping helpful in organizing and internalizing onyomi, kunyomi, and bushu (radicals). This structured visual approach supported accurate contextual application and contributed to long-term retention. Overall, the results support the integration of kanji mapping into kanji instruction to improve learner outcomes.

This study aims to explain the distribution network of cow’s milk and its impact on farmers’ income on the slopes of Merapi. The research uses a qualitative approach. The research is located in Wukirsari Village, Cangkringan District, Sleman Regency, Yogyakarta. The subject of this research is the farmer-herder community in the Cangkringan District. The informants consisted of 7 farmers, eight distributors, and three koperasi employees, and the study was conducted for 2 months. The data collection techniques were interviews, observations, and documentation. The validity of the data is tested through source and method triangulation techniques. Data is analyzed qualitatively, including data collection, condensation, presentation, and conclusion. Farmers are assisted by cooperatives in the milk production process, from cow care to milking. The co-operative is a means of supporting the income of dairy farmers. Milk distribution in Wukirsari is carried out by cooperatives to milk agents, milk processing industries, culinary milk, and directly to consumers. Farmers’ income in Wukirsari depends on the daily milk farmers’ deposit or value. However, the income is still insufficient to meet the needs because the cost of cow care and cow feed cuts it. Therefore, farmers make up for the lack of needs with part-time jobs such as collecting wood, selling calves, and selling grass.

This research aims to improve students' learning outcomes on biodiversity materials by applying inquiry learning strategies in class X-A SMA Negeri 2 Tondano. This research was carried out in two cycles, each with three meetings. In the first cycle, the student's learning outcomes showed classical completeness only reached 50%, with an average score of 75.6. This is due to students' lack of active participation in passive learning. Based on the reflection results, improvements were made in the second cycle by emphasizing increasing students' activeness in asking, answering, and discussing. The results in the second cycle showed a significant improvement, with an average score of 86.6 and classical completeness reaching 90%. This improvement shows that inquiry learning strategies effectively improve student learning outcomes. Although two students had not achieved completeness, the remedial provided succeeded in helping them achieve results on par with other students. This research proves that inquiry-based learning can increase students' involvement in learning and improve their learning outcomes. Therefore, it is recommended that inquiry learning strategies be applied more widely in other classes to improve the quality of education.
 

This study examines the influence of leadership style, organizational culture, and work environment on employee work discipline at the Population Control, Family Planning, Women's Empowerment, and Child Protection Agency of Sukoharjo Regency. The research employs a quantitative approach, utilizing primary data collected through questionnaires. The study's population consists of 37 employees, and due to the limited number of respondents (less than 100), a saturated sampling technique was applied, ensuring the inclusion of all members in the study.The research utilizes multiple linear regression analysis, t-test, F-test, and the coefficient of determination (R²) as statistical analysis techniques. The t-test results reveal that leadership style (X1) does not have a significant effect on employee work discipline, whereas organizational culture (X2) and work environment (X3) have a significant positive influence. The F-test results confirm that the regression model used in this study is appropriate for explaining the relationship between independent and dependent variables. Additionally, the R² test results indicate the proportion of variance in employee work discipline that can be explained by the independent variables.The findings suggest that fostering a strong organizational culture and improving the work environment can enhance employee work discipline. Meanwhile, leadership style alone does not significantly impact discipline levels. The study recommends that organizations prioritize developing a supportive work culture and conducive work environment while reassessing leadership strategies to align with employee needs. These insights provide valuable implications for policymakers and organizational leaders aiming to improve workforce discipline and productivity.

This study examines the relationship between corporate financial disclosure and investment decisions by shareholders and investors in capital markets. Using a comprehensive dataset of 486 publicly listed companies from multiple stock exchanges over a five-year period (2018-2022), we investigate how the quality, scope, and timing of financial disclosures influence investment behaviors, pricing efficiency, and capital allocation. Through multiple regression analysis, structural equation modeling, and panel data techniques, we find that higher disclosure quality is significantly associated with increased trading volumes (?=0.42, p<0.01), lower bid-ask spreads (?=-0.38, p<0.01), and reduced stock price volatility (?=-0.31, p<0.01). Our analysis reveals that voluntary disclosures beyond regulatory requirements have a stronger impact on institutional investor decisions compared to retail investors. Additionally, the study documents that forward-looking financial information and segment reporting have particularly strong effects on investment decisions during periods of market uncertainty. The findings contribute to disclosure theory and provide empirical evidence for regulators considering disclosure policy reforms, corporate executives formulating communication strategies, and investors developing investment frameworks that incorporate disclosure quality assessment. The study addresses the causality challenge through instrumental variable estimation and difference-in-differences analysis of regulatory changes, enhancing the robustness of the identified relationships.

This study discusses children's language acquisition from a psycholinguistic perspective with a focus on Meanlength of Utterance (MLU), word categories, and sentence patterns. Using a qualitative descriptive approach and case study, data were collected through participant observation, audio recording, speech transcription, and social context recording. The research sample consisted of three children aged 39, 47, and 50 months with Indonesian as their first language. The results showed that MLU values ??increased with age, in accordance with Brown's theory, although there was individual variation. Analysis of word types showed that older children had a more diverse vocabulary, including nouns, verbs, adjectives, pronouns, and numerals. In addition, the sentence patterns used by children developed from simple structures such as SP to more complex structures such as SPOK. This study confirms that MLU can be an indicator of children's syntactic development and helps in language identification delays. The results of this study are expected to contribute to psycholinguistic studies and become a reference in the field of child language education and intervention
