2025-04-22T08:40:01+07:00

One of the innovations arising from technological developments is using hypermedia in learning. Therefore, this study aims to identify learning needs in the development of hypermedia-based Proyek IPAS learning materials in Class X vocational schools. The research method used is Research and Development (R&D), the development model used in this study combines the Dick and Carey and Lee & Owens models, which focus on the development of hypermedia-based Proyek IPAS learning materials, both of which were chosen because they complement each other in the development of technology-based learning materials, especially in multimedia learning such as hypermedia. Data collection techniques used observation, questionnaire interviews, and learning outcomes tests. The results showed that students aged 15-16 can use technological devices such as laptops, tablets, and smartphones, but are more often used for entertainment than learning. Observations revealed the limitations of available learning materials, so interactive and appropriate hypermedia-based Proyek IPAS learning materials are needed. This research provides a basis for developing innovative and relevant hypermedia-based Proyek IPAS learning materials to support project-based learning in vocational high schools.

Discovery Learning and High-Level Thinking Skills in Student Explanatory Text Writing

2025-05-08T17:48:13+07:00

This study aims to describe the role of students' high-level thinking skills through the Discovery Learning learning model in improving explanatory text writing skills. Explanatory texts, which serve to explain phenomena logically and systematically, contribute to the development of students' critical and analytical mindsets. Through the Discovery Learning approach, students are directed to find cause-and-effect relationships independently, thereby increasing their cognitive involvement in understanding and writing explanatory texts. The study also highlights the importance of explicit learning strategies such as scaffolding, the use of text models, and reflective exercises to support writing skills. However, there are various challenges such as limited ability to organize ideas, lack of understanding of academic language, and low intrinsic motivation of students. The results of the study show that the implementation of the Discovery Learning learning model has proven to be effective in improving skills in explanatory text writing because it encourages students to discover important concepts on their own through the process of active exploration. This study recommends the consistent integration of explanatory text-based approaches and Discovery Learning in educational practices to comprehensively improve students' academic literacy.

Additionally, the findings underscore the growing importance of emerging themes such as sustainability, digital governance, and AI-driven fiscal management, which remain underexplored. Geographical imbalances in research output further highlight the need for greater representation from underrepresented regions, including Africa, South America, and parts of Asia. Policymakers and practitioners who want to keep up with the most recent advancements and industry best practices in local government finance will also benefit from it.

Legal Education for Property Consumers: Risk Analysis of the Pre-Project Selling System in the Case of Developer Adhiland

2025-05-29T16:27:13+07:00

This research analyzes the legal implications and consumer protection in the purchase of boarding houses with Pre Project Selling (PPS) system by Developer Adhiland in Malang. The juridical-sociological empirical method reveals discrepancies between Adhiland's practices and the Consumer Protection Law and PUPR Regulation, which require developers to fulfill requirements such as IMB, land ownership, and a minimum development progress of 20%. The findings show that Adhiland often violates these provisions, such as the absence of IMB and the unclear schedule of the sale deed, which creates legal uncertainty and the risk of default. Consumers have the right to seek redress through BPSK (mediation/arbitration) or litigation, although the court route is rarely chosen due to its complexity and high cost. The research concluded three critical points: 1) Adhiland is operating PPS in a non-compliant manner, 2) Violations are potentially subject to administrative/criminal sanctions, and 3) Buyers can file a lawsuit despite facing procedural obstacles. Recommendations The research emphasizes two aspects: first, stricter government oversight of PPS practices, including verification of permits and development progress. Second, educating buyers about their legal rights to prevent losses. These findings are relevant as material for evaluating property consumer protection policies.
