arriage experiences in this context. The study employs the theories of reality construction, family communication, intrapersonal and interpersonal communication, reasoned action, social judgment, trauma, marriage, divorce, and early adulthood. Using a constructivist paradigm and qualitative descriptive method, the study involved five informants: two aged 24, two aged 25, and one aged 19. The results reveal that four informants construct marriage as complex, burdensome, and not a life goal, while one informant shifted from subjective to objective reality, viewing marriage as a source of happiness and a life goal. Three informants experienced complex marriage trauma, while two experienced simple trauma. Interestingly, not all informants with negative marriage constructions experienced complex trauma. Specifically, informants NA, AAP, and AN had negative constructions with complex trauma; informant VWY had negative constructions with simple trauma; and informant HS had a positive construction with simple trauma. This study highlights the diverse ways early adults in Medan City construct and experience the reality of marriage after parental divorce.
Abstract:This paper examines the exchange of power dynamics between Russia and Ukraine within the context of the Russo-Ukraine conflict through a constructivist lens. Qualitative research methods are employed, including in-depth…
interviews with experts and policymakers, analysis of scholarly articles and reports, and document analysis. Thematic analysis is utilized to identify recurring patterns and themes related to power dynamics and conflict settlement possibilities. The analysis reveals that norms and shared identities play a significant role in shaping power relations between Russia and Ukraine, and contestation and reinterpretation of norms influence the exchange of power. Discourses and narratives surrounding the conflict contribute to power dynamics and shape conflict settlement possibilities. Socialization processes, including interactions between actors and institutional dynamics, influence power relations and its effect to conflict settlement attempts. This study contributes to the field of international relations by highlighting the relevance of constructivism in analyzing conflicts and generating insights for conflict resolution efforts.

tic problem solving. This analysis includes the definition, main characteristics, theoretical basis, implementation steps, teacher roles, advantages, challenges, and strategies to overcome challenges in PBL. Assessment in PBL is also discussed, including formative, summative, rubric, and self- and peer assessment. The results of the analysis indicate that PBL has the potential to improve students' motivation, engagement, 21st century skills, and conceptual understanding. However, the implementation of PBL requires careful planning, high teacher skills, and adequate resources. With the right strategy, PBL can be an effective learning approach to prepare students for real-world challenges.
Abstract:This study aims to analyze the communication strategy employed by the NEI-DT Foundation in building community trust through a community-based healthcare service program in Tritunggal Hamlet, Banyuasin Regency, South Sumatra,…
tra, Indonesia. The study is motivated by the importance of organizational communication strategies in enhancing public participation and program legitimacy within rural communities characterized by limited access to information, geographical constraints, and community-oriented social structures. Adopting a constructivist paradigm, this research employs a qualitative approach using an intrinsic case study design. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, non-participant observation, and document analysis involving seven informants, including foundation representatives, community leaders, and program beneficiaries. Data were analyzed using the interactive model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña, encompassing data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings reveal that the foundation’s communication strategy involves identifying community characteristics, developing simple and contextually relevant messages, utilizing a combination of digital and traditional communication channels, and engaging local leaders as communication intermediaries. Program information is disseminated through village heads, neighborhood leaders, women’s community groups (PKK), social media platforms such as WhatsApp and Facebook, and mosque loudspeaker announcements. The study further demonstrates that the communication pattern reflects the Two-Step Flow of Communication model, in which community leaders function as opinion leaders who mediate organizational messages before they reach the wider community. Community trust is cultivated through the social legitimacy of local leaders, interpersonal communication, direct experiences with program benefits, and the consistency of services provided by the foundation. The study concludes that the effectiveness of community-based organizational communication strategies in rural settings is determined not only by message content and media utilization but also by the organization’s ability to establish interpersonal relationships, adapt communication practices to local cultural contexts, and actively involve community leaders within the communication network. This research contributes to the advancement of community-based organizational communication studies by providing empirical insights into trust-building processes in rural community development programs

ource of religious information, which has the potential both to strengthen and to undermine the values of religious moderation. The study employed a qualitative approach with a Research and Development (R&D) design. The subjects were university students who actively use digital media. Data collection techniques included interviews, observations, questionnaires, and documentation, while data analysis followed the Miles and Huberman model. The results indicate that students’ understanding of religious moderation remains largely normative and is not yet accompanied by adequate digital literacy skills. The development of the Dick and Carey-based learning model produced interactive digital media, including educational videos, digital modules, and social media content. Implementation of the model demonstrated a significant improvement in students’ comprehension, tolerance, and critical thinking regarding religious content in digital media. Furthermore, the study found that integrating constructivist approaches, social learning, and digital literacy into the learning design effectively reinforced the internalization of religious moderation values. The developed learning model proved effective in enhancing student engagement and fostering inclusive and tolerant attitudes.In conclusion, promoting religious moderation in digital media requires a systematic, technology-based learning approach. This study provides both theoretical and practical contributions to the development of a learning model for religious moderation in the digital era.

students are engaged and their learning outcomes. Constructivism emphasizes the importance of a learning environment that can support students in developing their own perspectives. Through qualitative research methods with the type of library research, this research focuses on how to implement social studies learning using a constructivist approach because the challenges and teaching of social studies are often associated with still using traditional learning which tends to be monotonous and does not encourage student involvement. The research results show that the constructivist approach can actually provide social studies teachers with access to choose appropriate learning rules, provide opportunities to make their own assessments and of course can reduce the teacher's burden because the teacher only acts as a facilitator.
