rutama bagi remaja yang dibesarkan di tengah kemajuan teknologi yang cepat. Namun, tidak semua remaja beradaptasi dengan cara yang sama terhadap teknologi ini. Remaja yang masih asing dengan media sosial mungkin mengalami tantangan tersendiri saat menjelajahi dunia digital. Di sisi positif, media sosial dapat berfungsi sebagai alat untuk memperluas jaringan sosial, mendorong pembelajaran, dan membantu dalam pengembangan jati diri. Mereka dapat menemukan komunitas yang memiliki minat serupa, bertukar informasi, dan mengekspresikan kreativitas mereka. Namun, ada juga sisi negatif yang signifikan. Terpapar konten yang tidak pantas, mengalami cyberbullying, membandingkan diri secara sosial yang merugikan, dan risiko kecanduan bisa berdampak buruk pada kesehatan mental dan perilaku remaja. Penelitian ini mengadopsi pendekatan kualitatif melalui wawancara mendalam dan observasi terhadap sekelompok remaja yang diidentifikasi kurang akrab dengan media sosial. Temuan studi ini menunjukkan bahwa remaja dalam kelompok ini lebih rentan terhadap dampak negatif dari media sosial, seperti kecemasan sosial dan penurunan rasa percaya diri, disebabkan oleh kurangnya keterampilan digital dan strategi menghadapinya yang efektif. Di sisi lain, beberapa remaja berhasil memanfaatkan media sosial secara positif untuk keperluan pendidikan atau pengembangan keterampilan, meskipun dengan pengawasan yang lebih ketat. Implikasi dari penelitian ini menekankan pentingnya pendidikan literasi digital yang menyeluruh dan dukungan psikososial bagi remaja, terutama bagi mereka yang kurang familiar dengan teknologi, untuk memaksimalkan keuntungan dan meminimalkan risiko dari penggunaan media sosial.

ini melibatkan 97 responden yang dipilih melalui sampling purposive, yakni mereka yang aktif di media sosial dan familiar dengan produk fashion lokal. Data dikumpulkan lewat kuesioner skala Likert yang sudah divalidasi dan diuji reliabilitasnya, lalu diolah menggunakan analisis regresi linear berganda, uji t, uji F, serta koefisien determinasi. Temuan menunjukkan bahwa influencer memiliki efek positif dan bermakna pada keputusan beli, di mana konten, kepercayaan, dan cara berkomunikasi mereka dapat memicu ketertarikan serta kepercayaan konsumen untuk memilih produk fashion lokal. Citra merek juga terbukti memberikan dampak positif dan signifikan, sehingga reputasi merek yang solid dan stabil bisa meningkatkan pandangan tentang kualitas serta membangun kepercayaan konsumen terhadap produk tersebut. Secara bersama-sama, kedua faktor ini secara signifikan memengaruhi keputusan pembelian dengan kontribusi 66,4%, sementara sisanya dipengaruhi oleh faktor eksternal di luar penelitian. Hasil ini menyoroti perlunya taktik pemasaran yang melibatkan influencer, didukung oleh citra merek yang baik, agar pengusaha fashion lokal bisa meningkatkan persaingan dan memperkuat minat beli konsumen di zaman pemasaran digital.

This study aims to determine the effect of acupressure therapy on the intensity of menstrual pain among female students at SMA Negeri 5 Banda Aceh. The research employed a quantitative design with a one-group pretest and posttest quasi-experimental design. The population consisted of 153 girls, and 20 of them were selected as the sample using a purposive sampling technique. The data were collected using a Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) questionnaire from May 7th to 17th, 2025. Then, the data was analyzed using the Wilcoxon Test, which obtained a p-value of 0.000 <0.05. This result indicated there was an acupressure effect on menstrual pain. Therefore, this finding proved that the use of acupressure influenced menstrual pain among female students at SMA Negeri 5 Banda Aceh.

Abstract:This community service program aimed to enhance the English language skills of elementary school students on Tegal Island, Lampung Province, through the implementation of a Contextual Teaching and Learning (CTL) approach.…
. Limited English proficiency among local children has long hindered effective communication with foreign visitors and restricted opportunities for community-based tourism development. To address this challenge, the program incorporated basic English vocabulary related to the beach environment into interactive activities, such as songs, games, visual aids, and direct exploration of local surroundings. These methods were designed to provide authentic, engaging, and memorable language learning experiences tailored to the learners’ environment. A pre-test and post-test design was employed to evaluate the program’s effectiveness. The results demonstrated a substantial improvement in students’ vocabulary mastery, with mean scores rising from 61.36 on the pre-test to 89.73 on the post-test. Statistical analysis using a paired sample t-test revealed a significance value of 0.000 (p < 0.05), confirming that CTL significantly enhanced vocabulary acquisition. The normalized gain (N-Gain) indicated a high level of progress among participants, showing consistent improvement across all learners. Beyond cognitive gains, qualitative observations indicated that students exhibited greater confidence, motivation, and environmental awareness as they linked English lessons to familiar contexts. This program illustrates that CTL offers a practical, low-cost, and highly effective strategy for empowering youth in remote island communities. By contextualizing English instruction in real-life settings, CTL not only fosters academic achievement but also supports community engagement, cultural pride, and sustainable human resource development in rural tourism areas.
Abstract:The relationship between linguistics and language education is particularly interesting to follow. In language education, especially English, linguistics provides information on language rules and structure knowledge. However,…
wever, due to the notion that teaching English language must be taught in a multilingual environment and intercultural approach, linguistics must also provide a complete description of language. To describe language in use, discourse is the key. To linguistic students, discourse is a familiar term, while to some language education students, the term may be unfamiliar. This raises many issues, including what is discourse. Is it important to learn? Is it relatable to language education, particularly English? To answer these questions, we need to take a glimpse of discourse analysis.

amiliarizes children with geometric shapes, numerical concepts, and trains their thinking and memory skills. This study aims to implement color block media as an innovative learning method to effectively improve early childhood abilities in color recognition. Early childhood is a stage of exploration, where the learning process must be concrete, engaging, and enjoyable. Color block media combines visual and manipulative approaches that can foster curiosity and active involvement in the learning process. This learning-through-play activity encourages children to naturally identify, differentiate, and name colors. The study used a quantitative method with a pretest-posttest design to determine the effectiveness of the media. The research was conducted at KB Adduriyah 3 on October 29, 2024, and data analysis was performed using a t-test through SPSS 18 for Windows. The results showed a significance value (2-tailed) of 0.00. Since this value is smaller than the significance level (α = 0.05), the null hypothesis is rejected, and the alternative hypothesis is accepted. The results of the study demonstrate that color block media has a significant impact on improving children's color recognition skills. Additionally, the media also enhances children's active participation in learning activities. Therefore, color block media is highly recommended as a creative and effective learning strategy for educators and parents in supporting the cognitive development of early childhood.
