The integration of multimedia elements in learning processes has been widely recognized for its potential to enhance student engagement and comprehension. This study investigates the effect of interactive multimedia on students’ learning outcomes related to the impact of geosphere phenomena on life. The research employed a quantitative approach using a one-group pre-test and post-test design. A total of 32 students participated in the study, and data were collected through objective tests administered before and after the use of interactive multimedia. The collected data were analyzed using simple linear regression to determine the effectiveness of the intervention. The results revealed a notable improvement in students’ scores, with the average pre-test score of 50.69 increasing to 83.75 in the post-test. Pre-test scores ranged from 25 to 70, while post-test scores ranged from 70 to 95. Statistical analysis showed a significant difference between pre- and post-test results, and the regression analysis yielded a significance value of 0.000 (p < 0.05), indicating a meaningful effect of the treatment. The R Square value of 0.462 suggests that 46.2% of the variation in student learning outcomes can be attributed to the use of interactive multimedia. These findings confirm that interactive multimedia significantly enhances students’ understanding of geosphere-related concepts in science education.

Exploring Gender-Based Violence through Critical Discourse Analysis in Drama for Enhancing Literary-Based Learning Perspectives

2025-07-25T12:50:05+00:00

This study explores gender-based violence through critical discourse analysis of dramatic texts, aiming to enhance literary-based learning. By examining how language constructs and perpetuates GBV within dramatic narratives, the research seeks to deepen understanding of power dynamics, social norms, and the impact of gender-based violence on individuals and society. This study employs a descriptive qualitative method. This study aims to identify the forms of violence experienced by the main female characters in the play A Streetcar Named Desire, as well as the factors behind them. The research data consists of dialogues between characters that reflect the objectives of the study. Data analysis in this research involves three stages: data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The findings reveal show that there are three forms of violence depicted by the author in the drama Streetcar Named Desire: physical violence, verbal violence, and sexual violence. All forms of violence are fundamentally rooted in the patriarchal culture that is deeply ingrained in American society, which has shaped social cognition with the view that women are inferior to men. The practical implication exploring gender-based violence through critical discourse analysis in drama can significantly enhance literary-based learning by fostering critical thinking, promoting awareness of social inequalities, and empowering students to challenge harmful norms.

Inclusive Political Rhetoric and Identity Construction: An Aristotelian Analysis of Ganjar Pranowo’s Speech in the Context of Indonesian Electoral Discourse

2025-07-24T04:35:26+00:00

Amid the growing polarization of identity politics ahead of Indonesia’s general election, political communication plays a central role in shaping public opinion and constructing collective identity. While much of contemporary political practice tends to exploit exclusive symbols based on ethnicity, religion, and social class, alternative approaches through inclusive rhetoric remain underexplored. This study aims to analyze how Ganjar Pranowo, through his political speech, constructs an inclusive narrative in response to the discourse of identity politics. The study employs Aristotelian rhetorical theory (logos, ethos, and pathos) as the primary framework to examine the persuasive strategies embedded in the speech. A qualitative approach with rhetorical discourse analysis is used. Data were drawn from transcripts of Ganjar Pranowo’s public speeches delivered during the national political campaign. The research instruments included a classification of rhetorical categories and thematic content analysis to interpret the strategic function of each rhetorical element. The findings reveal that Ganjar’s speech integrates rational argumentation, moral credibility, and emotional resonance in a balanced manner. He deploys narratives of social justice, equitable access, and recognition of marginalized groups as strategies to frame national identity inclusively. These results confirm that political rhetoric functions not only as a tool of electoral persuasion but also as a constitutive medium that reconstructs collective identity and challenges political exclusivism.

The research employed Classroom Action Research using the Kemmis and McTaggart model, conducted in two cycles involving students of class X.G at State Senior High School 2 Malang. Each cycle comprised four stages: planning, implementation, observation, and reflection. Data were collected through learning outcome tests, student response questionnaires, and engagement observation sheets, and analyzed descriptively, both quantitatively and qualitatively. The findings indicate that Quizizz was more effective than Google Form in improving both learning outcomes and engagement. The average student score increased from 72.5 in the first cycle to 82.1 in the second cycle, while the number of students achieving mastery rose from 18 to 26. Furthermore, student engagement improved significantly, as reflected in positive responses toward Quizizz’s gamification features such as leaderboards, instant feedback, and interactive quiz formats. Despite these positive outcomes, the study is limited to one class and two research cycles; therefore, future studies with a broader scope are recommended to validate the consistency and generalizability of the findings.
