Evaluasi Program Teaching Factory terhadap Kompetensi Pedagogik Guru Mata Pelajaran Produktif SMKN 1 Tanjung Menggunakan Model Kirkpatrick

Thu, 02 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0700

This study aims to evaluate the implementation of the Teaching Factory (TeFa) program in relation to the pedagogical competence of productive subject teachers at SMKN 1 Tanjung using the Kirkpatrick evaluation model. This study employed a qualitative approach through observation, interviews, and documentation. The results indicate that the teaching factory program encourages changes in learning practices toward a more contextual, authentic, and experience-based approach. However, these changes have not been consistently implemented due to limitations at the individual teacher level and institutional support. Evaluation based on the Kirkpatrick model indicates that the program's impact is strongest at the level of reactions and learning, but not yet optimal at the level of behavior and outcomes. These findings confirm that the implementation of the teaching factory has not been fully internalized in daily learning practices. This study concludes that the success of the teaching factory program is not solely determined by the program design but is highly dependent on teachers' reflective ability to continuously reconstruct their pedagogical practices.

Analisis FoMO di Kalangan Gen Z terhadap Konten Edukasi Makeup oleh Beauty Content Creator

Thu, 02 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0700

The Fear of Missing Out (FoMO) phenomenon among Generation Z is increasing due to the increased use of social media as a source of information and informal learning, particularly in the beauty and makeup industry. Content delivered by influencers on TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube serves not only as a visual learning medium but also influences trend-based digital consumption behavior.

These findings emphasize that digital literacy and critical thinking skills are necessary for Generation Z to utilize social media as a learning tool without falling into consumer behavior due to FoMO.

Tren Makeup “Mangklingi” dan Krisis Identitas dalam Industri Makeup Artist Indonesia

Thu, 02 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0700

The "mangklingi" makeup trend is gaining popularity in the Indonesian Makeup Artist (MUA) industry, especially since the rise of makeup promotions on social media. The term "mangklingi" refers to a drastic change in facial appearance that significantly differs from one's natural appearance. This trend not only symbolizes a MUA's technical expertise but also establishes new standards for assessing beauty. This study aims to examine how the "mangklingi" makeup trend influences perceptions of beauty and triggers an identity crisis within the Indonesian MUA industry. The method used is a descriptive qualitative approach through literature review, observation of social media content, and interviews with several MUAs and makeup service users. The results indicate that the "mangklingi" trend encourages extreme transformation practices that often ignore clients' natural facial characteristics. This situation has the potential to cause social pressure, reduce self-confidence without makeup, and trigger unhealthy competition among industry players. This study provides a more critical understanding of the dynamics of beauty trends and encourages makeup practices that respect individual identity and uniqueness.

Penerapan Fungsi Manajemen dalam Pengelolaan Kostum di Sanggar Tari

Sun, 05 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0700

Costume management is a crucial aspect of ensuring the quality of dance performances, as it plays a vital role in establishing character, aesthetics, and cultural identity. This study aims to analyze the application of management functions in costume management within a dance studio. A qualitative approach utilizing a case study method was employed. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation, and subsequently analyzed using the interactive analysis model developed by Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña, which encompasses data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. Data validity was verified through source and technique triangulation.

Planning involves costume procurement and usage scheduling; organizing entails task allocation and the provision of supporting facilities; implementation involves the use of operational resources and coordination among members; and supervision involves monitoring costume usage and condition. However, the application of these functions is not yet optimal due to resource limitations, unsystematic inventory record-keeping, and a lack of structured documentation for supervision mechanisms. The findings suggest that while facility availability and resource support contribute to the smooth operation of costume management, achieving true effectiveness requires a more organized management system. Therefore, strengthening administration, standardizing procedures, and enhancing supervision systems are essential to ensure the sustainability of costume management in the dance studio.

Analisis Semiotika Komunikasi terhadap Interpretasi Pesan Motivasi dan Resiliensi dalam Lirik Lagu “Tapi” Band Perunggu

Nada Salsabila Setiawan, Amiruddin Saleh, Harvia Atika Zahira — Tue, 07 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0700

Song lyrics as part of popular culture not only serve as entertainment, but also serve as a medium for conveying social, psychological, and life values. One of the themes that often emerge in contemporary music is the experience of migration and resilience in facing the pressures of urban life. This study aims to uncover the construction of the meaning of motivation and resilience in the lyrics of the song "Tapi" by Perunggu through Roland Barthes's semiotic approach. The study uses a descriptive qualitative method with Barthes's two-stage semiotic analysis that includes denotation, connotation, and myth. Primary data is in the form of song lyrics, while supporting data is obtained through interviews with listeners to strengthen the interpretation of the resulting meaning. The results show that at the denotative level, the lyrics represent the concrete experience of a migrant who leaves his hometown and faces the demands of adaptation in a new environment. At the connotative level, the experience is interpreted as an emotional journey supported by the symbol of a mother's prayer as a representation of protection, moral support, and a source of resilience. Meanwhile, at the mythical level, the lyrics naturalize the cultural ideology of fortitude, hard work, and responsibility as ideal values inherent in the identity of migrants in Indonesian society. These findings indicate that the song "Tapi" not only reflects personal experiences but also reproduces social values that shape people's perspectives on life's struggles. This research contributes to the development of the semiotics of popular music, particularly in understanding the relationship between spiritual symbols, resilience, and the construction of cultural meaning in song lyrics.

This study aims to analyze the perceptions held by students of the Digital Communication and Media Study Program at the Vocational School, IPB University, regarding cafes as alternative study spaces. The phenomenon of cafes shifting from recreational venues to academic spaces is growing alongside students' increasing need for study environments that are flexible, comfortable, and supported by digital technology.

The findings also reveal that students view cafes not merely as places to study, but as spaces that support a balance between academic and social needs. This study concludes that cafes have transformed into a "third place" that accommodates both study activities and social interaction for students in the digital era. The research contributes to a deeper understanding of changing patterns in student study space usage within the context of digital culture and urban life.

Optimalisasi Budaya Sekolah melalui Strategi Integratif Pembelajaran PAI Berbasis Karakter

Sat, 11 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0700

Optimizing school culture is a crucial strategy for creating a learning environment conducive to students' character formation and moral development. This study aims to analyze integrative strategies for character-based Islamic Religious Education (PAI) in optimizing school culture, as well as to identify the supporting factors and challenges associated with their implementation. A qualitative approach utilizing library research methods was employed. Data were gathered from various relevant scholarly sources and analyzed using content analysis techniques, involving processes of data reduction, categorization, and conclusion drawing. The study reveals three primary implementation strategies: 1) integrating Islamic character values into instructional materials, such as syllabi and lesson plans; 2) internalizing these values through educators serving as role models and the habitual practice of religious activities within the school environment; and 3) fostering a religious school culture through policies and support from the school principal. Supporting factors include the commitment of the entire school community and the availability of facilities for religious observance, while the primary challenge lies in the lack of alignment between the values implemented at school and those found in the students' family and community environments. Based on the analysis of the literature, integrating PAI instruction with school culture has the potential to enhance students' discipline, integrity, and religiosity. Therefore, more intensive partnerships between schools and parents are required to ensure that character cultivation continues sustainably in both the school and home environments.

Faaizah Syafara Zuhrah, Amiruddin Saleh, Harvia Atika Zahira — Thu, 16 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0700

Instagram has become a widely used social media platform for Gen Z to cultivate a self-image and gain social recognition. However, the pressure to portray an ideal life often leads to digital social pressure. This has prompted the use of "second accounts" as alternative spaces that are more private and authentic. This study aims to analyze the role of Instagram second accounts in alleviating the pressure Gen Z faces to conform to social media standards. Employing a descriptive qualitative method, data were collected through in-depth interviews with Gen Z individuals who are active Instagram users and possess a second account. The findings indicate that second accounts serve as a more comfortable and secure space for users to express themselves freely and authentically, without the fear of negative judgment from others. Furthermore, second accounts help users reduce social pressure and maintain a balance between their public and personal identities on social media. Thus, a second account functions not merely as an additional account but also as a digital communication strategy for Gen Z in navigating social pressures within the digital realm.

Challenges such as information overload and varying donor personalities are mitigated through routine evaluations and a humanistic approach. In conclusion, consistent information transparency and warm personal interactions are the key factors in maintaining the loyalty of regular donors.

Analisis Penggunaan TikTok terhadap Pola Pencarian Informasi Digital pada Mahasiswa Sekolah Vokasi

Fatih Syahira Nugrainti, Amiruddin Saleh, Harvia Atika Zahira — Thu, 16 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0700

The evolution of digital technology has transformed how university students access information; the internet has become a dynamic visual ecosystem with penetration projected to reach 80% by 2025. This phenomenon has driven the transformation of social media platforms like TikTok into primary search engines for Generation Z, a demographic that prioritizes instant gratification and visual formats. This study aims to analyze the shift in digital information-seeking patterns among students at the IPB Vocational School regarding TikTok, as well as to explore the information verification strategies they employ. A descriptive qualitative approach was utilized, with data collected through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and document analysis involving active IPB Vocational School students. Drawing on Niche Theory, the results indicate that TikTok has established dominance over conventional search engines in the category of technical tutorial searches, primarily due to its efficiency and speed. Scientific findings suggest that short-video formats satisfy cognitive needs through media richness (audio-visual content), which helps reduce ambiguity when understanding precise practical procedures. Furthermore, the "For Your Page" (FYP) feature shifts behavior from active searching to the passive reception of information automatically curated by algorithms. Regarding validity, students employ "social proof" mechanisms via comment sections and practice source triangulation cross-checking information against Google or scholarly articles to avoid misinformation. The study concludes that while TikTok has evolved into a crucial information-seeking tool for vocational students, strong digital literacy awareness remains essential to ensure the accuracy of the information consumed and to effectively support the development of their practical competencies.

This study aims to analyze the use of microlearning in supporting students' independent learning through the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) approach. The study process was carried out by referring to the guidelines of Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) 2020 through the stages of identification, screening, feasibility evaluation, and article synthesis. The literature was obtained from various scientific databases with article criteria that discussed the implementation of microlearning in the context of higher education and its relevance to aspects of independent learning. A total of 30 articles published in the period 2016–2025 were analyzed using a thematic synthesis approach. The results of the study show that microlearning contributes positively to increasing learning motivation, self-regulated learning, student engagement, knowledge retention, learning outcomes, and students' ability to manage learning time. The implementation of microlearning generally uses media in the form of short videos, infographics, interactive quizzes, podcasts, and digital modules that are integrated with online learning platforms. However, the success of its implementation is influenced by the quality of instructional design, the digital competence of lecturers, the readiness of technological infrastructure, and integration with broader learning strategies. This study confirms that microlearning has the potential as an effective digital learning strategy to strengthen students' independent learning in higher education.

Sat, 18 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0700

The mouse (Mus musculus) is a widely used animal model in neuroscience research due to the structural and functional similarities of its nervous system to that of humans. However, information regarding the structure and function of the mouse central nervous system remains scattered across various publications, necessitating a synthesis to provide a comprehensive overview. This study aims to synthesize research findings on the anatomical structure and function of the mouse brain's central nervous system based on a literature review. The review covered scientific articles published between 2019 and 2024, retrieved via Google Scholar and Publish or Perish. Articles were selected based on inclusion criteria specifically, research addressing the anatomy, neuroanatomy, physiology, or function of the central nervous system in Mus musculus while irrelevant or duplicate articles, as well as those unavailable in full-text format, were excluded from the analysis. All articles meeting the criteria underwent a descriptive-comparative analysis to identify similarities, differences, and trends in findings. The synthesis reveals a consistent consensus that the cerebrum, cerebellum, brainstem, and limbic system are the primary components of the central nervous system, integrating to regulate sensory, motor, cognitive, and behavioral functions. The six-layered cerebral cortex plays a dominant role in information processing, whereas the hippocampus is the structure most frequently associated with mechanisms of memory formation, learning, and stress responses. Glutamate and GABA were identified as key neurotransmitters maintaining the balance between excitatory and inhibitory activity, while dopamine and serotonin contribute to the regulation of behavior, motivation, and emotional function. This synthesis demonstrates that the integration of neuroanatomical structures with neurotransmission mechanisms forms the fundamental basis of central nervous system function in mice, thereby serving as a conceptual framework for selecting animal models in neurological research and the development of studies on neurodegenerative diseases.
