Effectiveness of the hypnoteaching learning model in Javanese language learning

2024-11-15T13:56:23+00:00

Education aims to create a learning process that allows students to be active in developing their potential. However, many schools still use conventional learning models such as the lecture method, which often makes students passive and afraid to ask questions, thereby reducing their learning outcomes. In the modern era, hypnoteaching has emerged as an innovative approach that is believed to be more effective. This research explores the effectiveness of hypnoteaching in learning Javanese at the junior high school level. The type of research used was an experiment with a posttest-only control group design. The research subjects were class IX students at SMP Negeri 10 Salatiga, where class IX G was the experimental group that applied hypnoteaching, while class IX E was the control group using the conventional model. The results showed that the average post-test score for the experimental group was 81.29, while the control group was only 58.06. Analysis using the T-test shows a significant value of p = 0.000 (α < 0.05), which shows that hypnoteaching is more effective in improving student learning achievement compared to conventional models. However, it's important to note that this study has some limitations, such as the small sample size and the specific context of Javanese language learning, which may affect the generalizability of the results.

Driving development

2025-02-04T19:18:10+00:00

This study examines the historical development and implications of Japanese Indonesian cooperation in the automotive sector. While bilateral relations between these nations encompass multiple industries, the automotive sector, particularly passenger vehicles, represents a critical engagement area. The research employs a qualitative, descriptive methodology to analyze this economic relationship. Despite Indonesia's diverse industrial landscape—spanning manufacturing, fisheries, maritime resources, forestry, automotive production, and mining—the automotive sector has emerged as one of the country's top ten export commodities. Japan, a global leader in automotive manufacturing, has actively pursued bilateral cooperation in this sector. However, Indonesia's challenges in meeting established targets have hindered the full realization of planned initiatives. The study reveals an asymmetric relationship characterized by Indonesia's growing dependence on Japan's automotive industry. This dependency is evidenced by several key indicators: escalating imports from Japan, relatively low Indonesian export values, substantial Japanese investment flows, and the dominant market presence of Japanese manufacturers like Toyota and Nissan. As a result, Indonesia has primarily evolved into a significant consumer market for Japanese automotive products rather than developing as an independent manufacturer. Critically, this study finds how bilateral cooperation between Japan and Indonesia, while offering certain benefits, has simultaneously strengthened patterns of economic dependency in the Indonesian automotive sector.

Names of buildings and places in the Alun-Alun Lor and Sasana Suméwa Complex of Surakarta Hadiningrat Sunanate Palace

2024-10-18T15:04:24+00:00

Naming is the process of naming or identifying something, be it an item, person, place, or concept. It is an essential part of human language and communication as it allows us to convey information, distinguish people from one another, and refer to things in writing or conversation. However, naming can become more complex and varied as culture and language evolve. In Keraton Kasunanan Surakarta Hadiningrat, names that reflect Javanese culture are used to name places and buildings. In the naming process, factors such as language, culture, and history should be considered. This research aims to describe the naming process and explain the morphological process that occurs in the names of buildings and places in the Alun-Alun Lor and Sasana Suméwa complexes. The source of data and data in this study are the names of buildings and places in the Alun-Alun Lor and Sasana Suméwa complexes of Surakarta Hadiningrat Sunanate Palace. The data were collected using observation methods with note and listening techniques, interview methods, and document analysis. The results showed 22 names of buildings and places in Alun-Alun Lor and Sasana Suméwa complexes, consisting of 14 names in Alun-Alun Lor complex and 8 names in Sasana Suméwa complex

Zoo-semiotics in the short story Animals as a medium for criticism and reflection

2025-02-05T17:39:13+00:00

This research analyzes the short story “Sesat Pikir Para Binatang” by Triyanto Triwikromo using a zoo-semiotic approach from Thomas Albert Sebeok, who studies the role of animals as signs in human symbolic communication. The animals in this short story not only function as characters in the story, but also as a reflection of human identity to convey criticism of anthropocentrism and a reflection of human morality. By using zoo-semiotic theory, this research reveals that e zoo narrative in the short story is an allegory of human life, which is full of hierarchy, contradiction, and manipulation. Animal characteristics are seen as ethograms that can be interpreted symbolically. The symbolism of animals, such as elephants, worms, and other creatures, reflects the weaknesses of humans who often project their nature and internal conflicts onto animals. This research contributes to the study of contemporary Indonesian literature and expands the application of zoo-semiotics in literary studies, especially in exploring the relationship between humans and animals.

Questioning power and identity

2025-01-29T06:47:37+00:00

This study examines the discourse of identity politics, focusing on race and class, in local literary texts, specifically in the novel Tambora 1815 by Paox Iben Mudhaffar. Through a cultural studies perspective, the research explores how racial and class identities are represented, constructed, and sustained in local literature, as well as their impact on political and social discourse in Indonesia, particularly in Bima. A qualitative method using literature review and textual interpretation techniques, including repeated reading, data classification, and symbol analysis, was employed, with triangulation for validation. The findings reveal that identity politics in local literary texts can serve as both a tool of resistance against marginalization and a potential source of essentialism and further oppression. The novel reflects and challenges power hierarchies related to race and class, showcasing social inequality and the influence of dominant powers over marginalized groups. This research contributes by providing new insights into the dynamics of power and identity in Indonesian society, offering a critical analysis that encourages further exploration of identity politics in other local literary works

A framing analysis of William A. Gamson on the news “The death of Yahya Sinwar” in France24 and Al-Hurroh

2025-02-01T21:11:50+00:00

This study aims to determine the framing patterns used by international media, especially France24 and Al-Hurroh, in reporting the conflict related to the death of one of Hamas' main leaders, Yahya Sinwar, due to Israeli airstrikes in Gaza. This research used a qualitative content analysis approach based on the framing theory developed by William A Gamson. The data were obtained from news articles that discussed the Sinwar death incident and Hamas' response to the event. The results of the analysis show that the framing devices in the reporting of Yahya Sinwar's death in both France24 and Al-Hurroh media consist of metaphors, catchphrases, examples, depictions, and visual images. In contrast, the reasoning device consists of a root, appeal to principle and consequences. The use of these framing and reasoning devices shows that in the reporting of Yahya Sinwar's death, there are differences in framing patterns that affect how information is conveyed and perceived. France24 frames events in a strategic and political context, while Al-Hurroh builds more fact-based narratives. The findings underscore the different framing approaches by the two media outlets that can influence readers' perceptions of the Hamas-Israel conflict and potentially shape public opinion and global policy on Middle East issues.

Ambivalent sexism experienced by the female characters in Cho Nam Joo’s Saha

2025-02-01T20:25:54+00:00

This study examines the two subcategories of ambivalent sexism, hostile and benevolent. As they are experienced by the female characters in Cho Nam Joo's Saha. The study investigates how sexism is portrayed in character conversation, actions, and narrative descriptions using a qualitative text analysis method. The ambivalent sexism theory, which was created by Susan Fiske and Peter Glick, was used to analyze the data. Results show that benevolent sexism takes the form of overly protective attitudes and exaggerated praise, while hostile sexism in the book takes the form of verbal and physical abuse. Both of these behaviors reinforce social inequalities and gender stereotypes. The research concludes that Saha effectively portrays the complex dynamics of sexism in a patriarchal society, providing insight into how such themes contribute to discussions on gender studies and literature.

Violence and collective trauma through ‘Night’ in contemporary Acehnese novels

2025-02-09T16:43:30+00:00

The long-lasting conflict between the Indonesian administration and GAM ended in 2004. Yet, while the fighting came to an end, the residue and fragments of the conflict remained. The attempt to reconcile with violence and trauma is best captured through the works of contemporary Acehnese writers. Among other works of fiction, the novel writers try to express what the conflict meant for the Acehnese people. To this end, the current article is aimed at exploring Acehnese representations of violence and trauma through the metaphorical and symbolic meaning of ‘night’ in five contemporary Acehnese novels. This paper demonstrates the way the Acehnese contemporary writers represent the violence and trauma through the metaphor of ‘night’. Qualitative content analysis was used to reduce, narrow, and categorize the words, phrases, or paragraphs extracted from the novels. The data was analyzed by a post-conflict approach. The novels reveal kinds of violence and trauma through the imagery of ‘night’ highlighting multi-layered experiences during the conflict and bring the concept of postcoloniality through their writing. The five novels have tried to bring into play the ‘unfinished business’ of post-conflict Aceh. The novels also highlight the role of contemporary Acehnese novels in post-conflict societies. The disappeared left buried or unburied, the violence, the unresolved trauma, the continuing inequalities and injustices, and the struggle during the conflict means that the Aceh of the past haunts and disturbs the Aceh of the present.

From TOLERANCE IS BUSINESS to TOLERANCE IS CLOTHING

2025-01-30T20:49:47+00:00

So far, religious tolerance in the mass media has never been studied using metaphors in a cognitive linguistic approach. In fact, through conceptual metaphors, the framing of the mass media will emerge on the issue of religious tolerance. This qualitative descriptive research collects data on news and articles about religious tolerance in online Islamic mass media during the period 2018–2023. Data were analyzed using metaphor identification procedure, conceptual metaphor theory, and mixed metaphor. The results of the study show that there are 9 source domains, namely 1) TOLERANCE IS CLOTHES, (2) TOLERANCE IS SPACES/BUILDINGS, (3) TOLERANCE IS HUMANS, (4) TOLERANCE IS THE BODY, (5) TOLERANCE IS PLANTS, and (6) TOLERANCE IS ARE THINGS, (7) TOLERANCE IS A BUSINESS COMMODITY, (8) TOLERANCE IS WAR, and (9) TOLERANCE IS A VEHICLE. In general, the metaphor of tolerance in online Islamic mass media is classified into three tones, that is positive tones, negative tones, and neutral tones. Online Islamic mass media that have a positive tone are NU Online and Alif.id, mass media with a mixed tone (positive-neutral) is Suara Muhammadiyah and (positive-neutral-negative) is Hidayatullah.com, and mass media with a positive tone negative are Portal Islam, Suara Islam, VOA Islam, and Era Muslim.

Balancing fidelity, acceptability, and readability in children’s story translation

2025-03-11T05:48:47+00:00

Children’s literature is crucial for the cognitive, emotional, and social development of young readers. In line with the Agency for Language Development and Cultivation’s initiatives to translate children’s books, this study aims to identify which aspects of translation quality are most effectively maintained and how they impact target readers, particularly regarding engagement across various reading levels. This descriptive qualitative study employed a product-oriented approach with a multiple-case study design to evaluate different reading levels on the Penjaring website. A purposive sampling technique was utilized to select data sources relevant to the study’s objectives. Primary data, the original texts and their translations, were sourced from the StoryWeaver website and the Penjaring website respectively. Informants, including raters and children of various ages, assessed translation quality. The study followed four analytical stages: domain analysis, taxonomy analysis, componential analysis, and cultural-theme analysis. Results indicate that the translation attempts to maintain the three aspects. However, while translations emphasize accuracy and acceptability, readability is often compromised due to complex sentence structures and unfamiliar vocabulary. Although readability scores are generally high, young readers frequently struggle with comprehension. This underscores the need to achieve a better balance between fidelity to the source text and accessibility for young audiences.

Local ecological knowledge in toponyms in the Waduk Jatigede area

2025-02-11T20:55:47+00:00

Toponyms or place names are important linguistic facts. Toponyms can record people's spatial awareness of the surrounding environment. This article explores local ecological knowledge in toponyms in the Waduk Jatigede area. In this area, there are 28 villages from 5 sub-districts affected by the construction of Waduk Jatigede. Data collection in this study used participant observation and interview methods. The data analysis procedure includes four stages: (1) transcription of recorded data; (2) categorizing data from the transcription of recordings or notes based on the classification of toponymy aspects; (3) interpretation of local knowledge about ecology in toponymy; (4) concluding. The results show that polymorphemic toponyms dominate toponyms in the Jatigede Reservoir area. In addition, toponyms in the Waduk Jatigede area are also dominated by toponyms with physical aspects, including hydrological, geomorphological, and biological-ecological characteristics. This finding shows that Sundanese people have a close relationship with the surrounding nature. This local ecological knowledge contains Sundanese people's ecological awareness about the Waduk Jatigede area's ecological characteristics, including water, soil, flora and fauna. This local ecological knowledge is useful as a policy recommendation for natural and ecological disaster mitigation in environmental development, which is essential for achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
