This study aims to examine the influence of legal awareness and the social/digital environment on students’ bullying behavior. A quantitative approach with a survey design was employed. The participants consisted of 30 senior high school and vocational high school students in Pamulang District, selected through random sampling. Data were collected using a Likert-scale questionnaire measuring three variables: legal awareness, social/digital environment, and bullying behavior. The data were analyzed using validity and reliability tests, classical assumption tests, and multiple linear regression with the assistance of IBM SPSS Statistics. The findings reveal that legal awareness has a significant effect on students’ bullying behavior, with a regression coefficient of 0.754 and a significance value of 0.000. In contrast, the social/digital environment does not have a significant partial effect, with a significance value of 0.434. Simultaneously, legal awareness and the social/digital environment significantly influence bullying behavior, as indicated by an F-value of 613.115 and a significance value of 0.000. The coefficient of determination shows an R Square value of 0.978, meaning that 97.8% of the variance in bullying behavior can be explained by the two independent variables. These findings imply that strengthening students’ legal awareness through civic education, legal literacy, digital ethics, and character education is essential for preventing bullying in schools. The study contributes to the development of school-based anti-bullying strategies by emphasizing the internalization of legal values, social responsibility, and ethical digital citizenship among students.</p> Susi Susi, Sunarso Sunarso, Suharno Suharno, Suwandi Suwandi, Sri Rahayu Pudjiastuti Copyright (c) 2026 JHSS (JOURNAL OF HUMANITIES AND SOCIAL STUDIES) https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0 https://jhss-lppm.unpak.ac.id/index.php/JHSS/article/view/203 Sun, 17 May 2026 00:00:00 +0000 Neutrality Of The Acting Governor In The 2024 Presidential Election: Case Study Central Java https://jhss-lppm.unpak.ac.id/index.php/JHSS/article/view/200 <p>This study aims to analyze the neutrality of the Acting Governor of Central Java, Nana Sudjana, in the 2024 Presidential Election by highlighting the relationship between bureaucracy and electoral political interests. The study employs a qualitative method using a case study approach through interviews, documentation, and literature review. The results indicate that, normatively, there was no violation of neutrality, as evidenced by the absence of findings or official rulings from election oversight bodies. However, empirically, there were indications of implicit non-neutrality, such as bureaucratic mobilization, patronage relationships, and the use of state resources that could potentially influence public political preferences. Furthermore, interview results indicate that the appointment of the Acting Governor, although legally valid, was not free from considerations of loyalty and the central government’s political agenda. The limitations of oversight institutions in addressing latent political practices further exacerbate the gap between norms and reality.</p> Jingga Savana Soeherman, Abdul Ghofur Copyright (c) 2026 JHSS (JOURNAL OF HUMANITIES AND SOCIAL STUDIES) https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0 https://jhss-lppm.unpak.ac.id/index.php/JHSS/article/view/200 Thu, 21 May 2026 00:00:00 +0000 The Impact Of Online Loans On Husbands' Financial Behavior From The Perspective Of Hifz Al-Nafs And Hifz Al- ’Aql https://jhss-lppm.unpak.ac.id/index.php/JHSS/article/view/211 <p>The development of online lending services has provided easy access to financing for the public, but on the other hand, it has also created social, economic, and psychological problems in family life. In the household context, the husband's involvement in online lending can affect financial behavior, decision-making patterns, income stability, and relationships with family members. This phenomenon is important to study from the perspective of maqāṣid al-syarī‘ah, especially the aspects of hifz al-nafs (protection of the soul) and hifz al-‘aql (protection of the mind) because uncontrolled online lending practices can cause mental stress, anxiety, family conflict, and irrational financial decisions. This study uses a qualitative approach with a descriptive study design. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation of informants who have direct experience or are relevant to the use of online loans in household life. The informant selection technique was carried out purposively by considering the husband's involvement in online lending and its impact on family financial behavior. The data were analyzed through the stages of data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing, then interpreted using the hifz al-nafs and hifz al-‘aql perspectives. The results of the study indicate that online loans have an impact on changes in husbands' financial behavior, such as increased consumer tendencies, weak financial planning, dependence on short-term debt, and reduced openness in family financial management. In addition, pressure due to debt collection, high interest rates, and the inability to pay installments cause psychological disorders, household conflicts, and a decrease in the quality of decision-making. From the hifz al-nafs perspective, these impacts indicate a threat to peace of mind, emotional security, and the sustainability of family life. Meanwhile, from the hifz al-‘aql perspective, unwise use of online loans can weaken the husband's rationality, prudence, and ability to make beneficial financial decisions.</p> Tomi Apra Santosa, Wisnarni Wisnarni, Widiya Yul, Y.

Sundanese language and culture learning in Primary School Teacher Education programs still faces challenges related to students’ limited understanding of cultural materials and the continued use of conventional learning media. This study aimed to develop and examine the feasibility of a Sundanese educational podcast as an alternative medium for learning Sundanese language and culture in the Primary School Teacher Education Program. This study employed a research and development design using the ADDIE model, which consists of analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation stages. The participants involved 25 PGSD students, material experts, and media experts. Data were collected through needs analysis questionnaires, expert validation sheets, student response questionnaires, limited interviews, and documentation. The data were analyzed using descriptive quantitative and qualitative techniques. The results showed that students had a strong need for audio-based digital learning media, with 85% indicating the need for digital audio media and 88% expressing interest in using podcasts for learning. The material expert validation obtained an average score of 92%, while the media expert validation reached 89%, both categorized as very feasible. The limited trial also showed a highly positive student response, with an average score of 90.25%. In addition, students’ understanding increased by 16 points after using the podcast. These findings indicate that the Sundanese educational podcast is feasible, engaging, and relevant for supporting flexible and culturally grounded learning. The implication of this study is that podcast-based learning can serve as an innovative digital medium for strengthening local language learning, student engagement, independent learning, and cultural literacy among prospective primary school teachers.</p> Rini Sri Indriani, Yudhie Suchyadi, Fitri Anjaswuri, Dilla Eka Aprilia Copyright (c) 2026 JHSS (JOURNAL OF HUMANITIES AND SOCIAL STUDIES) https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0 https://jhss-lppm.unpak.ac.id/index.php/JHSS/article/view/221 Thu, 11 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0000 The Empathize Approach In Visual Communication Design: A Case Study Of The Poznan Company × Real Madrid Community Apparel Campaign https://jhss-lppm.unpak.ac.id/index.php/JHSS/article/view/212 <p>The visual identity of football fan communities constitutes a collective symbol system that, to date, has received limited scholarly attention within the field of visual communication design (VCD), particularly from an empathize-based perspective. This study aims to describe how the empathize stage was operationalized in the VCD process of the Poznan Company × Seputar Real Madrid apparel campaign, to examine how the identity and emotions of Real Madrid fans were translated into visual elements, and to assess audience response indicators as markers of visual resonance—rather than as causal evidence of marketing success. A descriptive-qualitative case study approach was employed, drawing on digital observation of the Seputar Real Madrid community, documentation of campaign visual assets, and engagement and sales conversion data as supporting evidence. Findings reveal that the empathize approach produced three identity-driven visual pillars: the Cibeles Monument and UEFA Champions League (UCL) trophy as iconic symbols, Spanish-language typography anchored by the slogan "SOMOS LOS REYES DE EUROPA", and a black-gold-white color palette. These visual elements appear to have resonated emotionally with the audience, as reflected in a cumulative reach of 288,000 impressions and an increase in orders from 15 units (conventional method) to 152 units in Batch 1 (10.05% conversion rate) and 297 units in Batch 2 (19.33%), noting that UGC and fanpage support also contributed to the Batch 2 increase. Taken together, these findings suggest that an empathize-based VCD approach correlates with the formation of a visual system that resonates with fandom identity.</p> M Akhdan Al Ghifari, Ipung Kurniawan Yunianto Copyright (c) 2026 JHSS (JOURNAL OF HUMANITIES AND SOCIAL STUDIES) https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0 https://jhss-lppm.unpak.ac.id/index.php/JHSS/article/view/212 Sat, 13 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0000 Documentary Films As An Educational Medium On The Gaming World And Teenagers' Emotions https://jhss-lppm.unpak.ac.id/index.php/JHSS/article/view/202 <p>This study aims to produce a documentary film as an educational medium to explore the impact of gaming on adolescents’ emotional development. The research applies a practice-based approach using both qualitative and quantitative methods. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and questionnaires involving adolescents, parents, and experts. The findings indicate that most adolescents engage in gaming daily with durations exceeding three hours. This activity generates various emotional responses, including enjoyment, satisfaction, frustration, and anger. Gaming provides positive impacts such as entertainment, cognitive skill development, and social interaction, but also presents negative effects, including addiction, emotional instability, and reduced direct social engagement. The documentary film is designed using an expository approach to present balanced and reflective perspectives. The results suggest that documentary film is an effective educational medium to raise awareness among adolescents and parents regarding balanced game use in daily life</p> I Putu Huwa Bagus Utama, I Wayan Suardana, I Nengah Wirakesuma Copyright (c) 2026 JHSS (JOURNAL OF HUMANITIES AND SOCIAL STUDIES) https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0 https://jhss-lppm.unpak.ac.id/index.php/JHSS/article/view/202 Tue, 23 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0000 The Application Of Deep Learning In Islamic Religious Education In The Digital Age In The 10th Grade At Jumapolo State High School https://jhss-lppm.unpak.ac.id/index.php/JHSS/article/view/252 <p>The digital age has brought significant transformation to education, requiring learning in Islamic Religious Education to move beyond rote memorization toward deeper understanding and active participation. This study analyzes the implementation of a deep learning approach in Islamic Religious Education among 10th-grade students at Jumapolo State High School in the digital age. A qualitative descriptive method was employed, involving Islamic Religious Education teachers as interview informants and 10th-grade students as questionnaire respondents. Data were collected through in-depth interviews and Google Forms-based questionnaires. The data analysis process included data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The findings revealed that Problem-Based Learning (PBL) and Project-Based Learning (PjBL) models were applied to facilitate deep learning in Islamic Religious Education. These models encourage students to engage with learning materials and connect them to real-life situations, resulting in positive learning experiences characterized by interest and self-directed learning. The learning process contributes to students’ cognitive, affective, and psychomotor development. While the use of digital technology, including artificial intelligence (AI), helps students access various information sources, it also presents challenges, as students tend to rely on AI without always verifying the accuracy of the information. Therefore, teacher guidance and strengthened digital literacy are essential. Overall, the implementation of deep learning in the digital era offers opportunities to improve the quality of Islamic religious education.</p> Asma Nurul Azizah, Dartim Dartim Copyright (c) 2026 JHSS (JOURNAL OF HUMANITIES AND SOCIAL STUDIES) https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0 https://jhss-lppm.unpak.ac.id/index.php/JHSS/article/view/252 Mon, 29 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0000 The Influence Of The Technology Acceptance Model On Digital Marketing Adoption Among Micro, Small, And Medium Enterprises (Msmes): The Moderating Role Of Digital Marketing Training https://jhss-lppm.unpak.ac.id/index.php/JHSS/article/view/254 <p>This study aims to analyze the influence of the Technology Acceptance Model on the adoption of digital marketing among MSMEs, with digital marketing training as a moderating variable. The focus of this study is on MSME participants who attended a <em>digital marketing </em>training program organized by the Medan City Department of Cooperatives, MSMEs, Industry, and Trade in collaboration with Lazada Indonesia. This study employs a quantitative approach, using a questionnaire distributed to 100 SME participants who attended the <em>digital marketing </em>training as the data collection method. The data were analyzed using <em>Structural Equation Modeling </em>(SEM) based on <em>Partial Least Squares </em>(SmartPLS). The results show that the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), with its two main components—<em>Perceived Usefulness </em>(PU) and <em>Perceived Ease of Use </em>(PEOU)—has a positive and significant influence on the adoption <em>of digital marketing.</em> Furthermore, the <em>digital marketing </em>training was also found to have a positive and significant influence on the adoption <em>of digital marketing.</em> Furthermore, <em>digital marketing </em>training was found to moderate the effects of <em>Perceived Usefulness </em>(PU) and <em>Perceived Ease of Use </em>(PEOU) on <em>digital marketing </em>adoption<em>. </em>These findings suggest that SME operators who participate in <em>digital marketing </em>training will enhance their understanding of <em>digital marketing</em>, thereby encouraging them to utilize <em>digital </em>marketing optimally. Furthermore, understanding <em>digital marketing </em>concepts will certainly make it easier for SME owners to adopt <em>digital marketing</em>, as digital skills can expand their market reach—especially given that consumer behavior is increasingly reliant on digital platforms.</p> Ali Amzah, Marliyah Marliyah, Nurbaiti Nurbaiti Copyright (c) 2026 JHSS (JOURNAL OF HUMANITIES AND SOCIAL STUDIES) https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0 https://jhss-lppm.unpak.ac.id/index.php/JHSS/article/view/254 Wed, 22 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0000 Utaut Effects On Online Food Ordering Platform Use And Culinary Sme Performance In Medan https://jhss-lppm.unpak.ac.id/index.php/JHSS/article/view/255 <p>This study aims to analyze the influence of the <em>Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology </em>(UTAUT) model on the use of the GoFood online food ordering platform and its impact on the performance of culinary Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in Medan City. This study employs a quantitative approach using the <em>Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling </em>(PLS-SEM) method. The study sample consisted of 210 culinary MSME operators in Medan City, selected using <em>probability</em> <em>sampling</em>. Primary data were collected through the distribution of structured questionnaires and analyzed using SmartPLS 3 software. The results indicate that <em>Performance Expectancy</em>, <em>Effort Expectancy</em>, <em>Social Influence</em>, and <em>Facilitating Conditions </em>have a positive and significant effect on <em>Behavioral Intention</em>. Furthermore, <em>Behavioral Intention </em>and <em>Facilitating Conditions </em>have a positive and significant effect on <em>Use Behavior</em>, while <em>Use Behavior </em>has a positive and significant effect on SME performance. In addition, <em>Facilitating Conditions </em>also have a direct positive effect on SME performance. These findings indicate that the successful adoption of the GoFood platform by culinary MSMEs is influenced not only by perceived benefits, ease of use, and social influence but also by the availability of technological infrastructure and adequate facility support, which can enhance business performance. This study provides empirical evidence regarding the relevance of the UTAUT model in explaining the adoption of digital technology among culinary MSMEs amid the digital transformation.</p> Ayu Annisa Fikra, Muhammad Irwan Padli Nasution, Rahmi Syahriza Copyright (c) 2026 JHSS (JOURNAL OF HUMANITIES AND SOCIAL STUDIES) https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0 https://jhss-lppm.unpak.ac.id/index.php/JHSS/article/view/255 Wed, 22 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0000 Legal Protection For Child Victims Of Sexual Abuse In Palu City: A Maqashid Sharia Perspective https://jhss-lppm.unpak.ac.id/index.php/JHSS/article/view/193 <p>This study examines the implementation of legal protection for child victims of sexual abuse in Palu City from a Maqashid Sharia perspective. The research utilizes an empirical juridical design with a qualitative case approach, collecting data through interviews, observations, and documentation from the Palu City Resort Police, the Women's Empowerment and Child Protection Office (DP3A), and the Palu District Court. The findings reveal that legal protection is implemented through the PPA Unit at the police level, comprehensive assistance by DP3A including legal and psychological aid, and child-friendly judicial proceedings at the District Court. However, significant obstacles remain, including limited professional human resources, budget constraints, and persistent social stigma against victims. From the Maqashid Sharia perspective, the protection efforts in Palu City reflect the core values of <em>hifz al-nafs</em> (protection of life), <em>hifz al-‘ird</em> (protection of honor), and <em>hifz al-nasl</em> (protection of lineage). These measures serve as an implementation of <em>maslahah</em> (public interest) aimed at preventing further harm to children. Nevertheless, the realization of full benefit is still hindered by gaps in victim recovery and restitution mechanisms. The study concludes that greater institutional synergy and community education are essential to eliminate stigma and fulfill children's rights effectively according to sharia principles.</p> Adinda Octaviana, Hamiyuddin, Wahyuni Copyright (c) 2026 JHSS (JOURNAL OF HUMANITIES AND SOCIAL STUDIES) https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0 https://jhss-lppm.unpak.ac.id/index.php/JHSS/article/view/193 Sat, 04 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0000 Semi-Netnography Analysis Of Forced Marriage In The Film Hati Suhita: Islamic Family Law Perspective https://jhss-lppm.unpak.ac.id/index.php/JHSS/article/view/256 <p>Forced marriage is a marriage that is performed due to pressure or coercion from other parties, such as parents, family, or the social environment. This study aims to analyze the cultural phenomenon of forced marriage in the film <em>Hati Suhita</em> based on the perspective of Islamic Family Law. This research focuses on the practice of forced marriage represented in the film <em>Hati Suhita</em> through dialogue, scenes, and storylines. The method used in this study is qualitative-descriptive with a literature study approach and semi-netnography analysis to understand the phenomenon of forced marriage practices. The results of the study show that the marriage between Gus Birru and Alina Suhita is a form of forced arranged marriage due to family pressure and the authority of his father as a kiai. This condition leads to emotional conflict, rejection, and lack of communication, as well as disharmony in their household. From the perspective of Islamic Family Law, the practice of forced marriage in the film<em> Hati-Suhita</em> occurs because of<em> ijbar </em>rights<em>,</em> which are the reason for coercion in marriage, the legitimacy of the family, and the cultural authority of the Islamic boarding school. The preventive solution is to provide premarital guidance to both parties to minimize conflicts in the household. Although the concept of arranged marriage in Islam is allowed, its implementation must be based on the agreement and willingness of both parties so that the goals of marriage such as the creation of a harmonious, just, and peaceful family, can be realized.</p> Aldi Fauzan, Muhammad Taufan Badolahi , Yuni Amelia Copyright (c) 2026 JHSS (JOURNAL OF HUMANITIES AND SOCIAL STUDIES) https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0 https://jhss-lppm.unpak.ac.id/index.php/JHSS/article/view/256 Mon, 29 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0000 Escalation Of Divorce By Wife At The Class 1a Religious Court Of Palu In The Perspective Of Feminist Legal Theory https://jhss-lppm.unpak.ac.id/index.php/JHSS/article/view/257 <p>Divorce by wife has emerged as a dominant structural phenomenon in Indonesia’s religious courts, reflecting shifting power dynamics and increasing legal awareness among women. This research examines the escalation of <em>cerai gugat</em> at the Class 1A Religious Court of Palu, focusing on its causal factors and socio-legal implications through the lens of feminist legal theory. Using a qualitative case study approach, data were gathered from semi-structured interviews with judges, court officials, and litigants, alongside a thematic analysis of court decisions. Findings indicate that <em>cerai gugat</em> accounts for approximately 70% of divorce cases in Palu, driven primarily by chronic gender imbalances, economic instability, and domestic violence. Despite the high volume of cases filed by women, the transition from legal object to active subject has not fully translated into substantive justice. Post-divorce, women remain trapped in cycles of social stigma and economic vulnerability due to inconsistent <em>ex officio</em> maintenance orders and weak execution mechanisms. The study concludes that the religious judicial system remains largely formalistic, necessitating a shift toward gender-responsive practices and the integration of Islamic feminist principles to ensure the effective protection of women’s rights.</p> Fira Farisda, Nasaruddin Nasaruddin, Suhari Hanafi Copyright (c) 2026 JHSS (JOURNAL OF HUMANITIES AND SOCIAL STUDIES) https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0 https://jhss-lppm.unpak.ac.id/index.php/JHSS/article/view/257 Sat, 04 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0000 The Implications Of Customary Law Norms In National Criminal Law On Values Of Criminal Justice By Indigenous Peoples https://jhss-lppm.unpak.ac.id/index.php/JHSS/article/view/258 <p>The reform of criminal law through Law Number 1 of 2023 concerning the Criminal Code is an important step in the decolonization of law in Indonesia while also providing recognition of the laws that exist within society. This recognition is reinforced through Government Regulation Number 55 of 2025 concerning Procedures and Criteria for Determining Laws that Exist within Society. This study aims to analyze and critically examine the normativization of customary law in national criminal law and assess its implications for the values underlying the handling of criminal acts in indigenous communities. This study is a normative legal study using secondary data consisting of primary and secondary legal materials and employing a regulatory and sociological approach to law. The results of the study show that the recognition of living law or customary law in the National Criminal Code reflects efforts to harmonize national law and customary law. However, through Government Regulation No. 55 of 2025, living law or customary law must go through a formalization process, starting from the administrative recognition of customary law communities, the formation of regional regulations, to verification by the central government. This mechanism places the state as the party that determines the validity of customary norms as customary criminal acts. As a result, customary law, which was previously based on material legality, has shifted towards formal legality that depends on state legitimacy. In addition, restrictions on customary criminal acts so as not to conflict with the Criminal Code and the standardization of fines have the potential to reduce the flexibility and character of customary law and open up the possibility of overlapping authority between customary institutions and state law enforcement agencies.</p> Yohanes Leonardus Ngompat, Dwityas Witarti Rabawati, Finsensius Samara Copyright (c) 2026 JHSS (JOURNAL OF HUMANITIES AND SOCIAL STUDIES) https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0 https://jhss-lppm.unpak.ac.id/index.php/JHSS/article/view/258 Wed, 01 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0000 The Influence of Price Perception and Electronic Word of Mouth on Fashion Product Purchase Decisions through Customer Value in Generation Z of Tiktokshop Users in Surabaya https://jhss-lppm.unpak.ac.id/index.php/JHSS/article/view/261 <p>This study aims to analyze the influence of price perception and <em>Electronic word of mouth </em>(e-WOM) on the product purchase decision <em>fashion</em> on TikTok Shop with <em>Customer Value</em> as an intervening variable in Generation Z in Surabaya. A quantitative approach was used by collecting data through questionnaires to 157 respondents and analyzed using SEM-PLS with the help of SmartPLS 4. The results of the study show that price perception and e-WOM have a positive and significant effect on purchasing decisions and <em>Customer Value</em>, and <em>Customer Value</em> have a positive and significant effect on purchasing decisions. In addition, <em>Customer Value</em> proven to mediate the influence of price perception and e-WOM on purchase decisions, so that purchase decisions are not only directly determined by these two variables, but also through the value perceived by consumers.</p> Fannyza Aliefvia Azzahra, Maharani Ikaningtyas Copyright (c) 2026 JHSS (JOURNAL OF HUMANITIES AND SOCIAL STUDIES) https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0 https://jhss-lppm.unpak.ac.id/index.php/JHSS/article/view/261 Sat, 04 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0000 The Influence Of Transformational Leadership, Digital Competence, And Employee Engagement On The Performance Of Government Employees At The Panai Tengah \Subdistrict Office https://jhss-lppm.unpak.ac.id/index.php/JHSS/article/view/262 <p><strong>. </strong>Employee performance in public sector organizations is increasingly influenced by leadership practices, digital capabilities, and employee involvement, particularly in the context of rapid digital transformation. Subdistrict offices, as the frontline of public services, are required to adapt to technological changes while maintaining effective organizational management. This study aims to examine the effect of transformational leadership, digital competence, and employee engagement on employee performance at the Panai Tengah Subdistrict Office. A quantitative research approach was employed using a survey method. Data were collected through structured questionnaires distributed to employees of the Panai Tengah Subdistrict Office, with a total of 80 respondents involved in this study. The collected data were analyzed using multiple linear regression analysis, including partial tests, simultaneous tests, and coefficient of determination analysis. The results of the study reveal that, partially, transformational leadership does not have a significant effect on employee performance, indicating that leadership practices implemented in the organization have not yet directly influenced individual performance outcomes. Employee engagement, which was measured through internal communication, also does not show a significant effect on employee performance, suggesting that existing communication patterns have not fully encouraged active participation and commitment among employees. In contrast, digital competence has a positive and significant effect on employee performance, demonstrating that employees’ ability to utilize digital technology, manage information, and operate digital tools effectively plays a crucial role in enhancing work productivity and performance quality. Simultaneously, transformational leadership, digital competence, and employee engagement have a significant effect on employee performance. The coefficient of determination indicates that a large proportion of employee performance variation can be explained by the independent variables examined in this study. These findings imply that strengthening digital competence, supported by effective leadership and improved employee engagement, is essential for improving employee performance in public sector organizations.</p> Firmansyahputra Harahap, Muhammad Irwansyah Hasibuan, Mhd.

The research employed a quantitative approach using a survey method. Data were collected through questionnaires distributed to salted fish MSME owners and analyzed using multiple linear regression analysis. The analysis included partial tests, simultaneous tests, and coefficient of determination testing. The results of the study indicate that product innovation has a positive and significant effect on sales growth, suggesting that improvements in product quality, variety, and packaging can enhance consumer interest and increase sales performance. Marketing strategy does not have a significant effect on sales growth, indicating that the marketing practices implemented by MSMEs have not yet been effective in driving higher sales, possibly due to limited creativity, low utilization of digital marketing channels, and conventional promotional approaches. In contrast, perceived value has a positive and significant effect on sales growth, demonstrating that consumers’ perceptions of product benefits, price fairness, and overall satisfaction play an important role in influencing purchasing decisions. Simultaneously, product innovation, marketing strategy, and perceived value have a significant effect on increasing sales. The coefficient of determination shows that a substantial proportion of sales growth variation can be explained by these variables. The findings imply that improving sales performance among salted fish MSMEs in Sei Berombang requires an integrated approach that prioritizes continuous product innovation, strengthens perceived value, and enhances marketing strategies to better align with market conditions and consumer preferences.</p> Muhammad Fauzi Ritonga, Muhammad Irwansyah Hasibuan, Mhd.

Using a quantitative quasi-experimental design, the study involved 30 undergraduate students who completed pre-test and post-test assessments as well as a Likert-scale questionnaire measuring SCT-related constructs, including self-efficacy, observational learning, self-regulated learning, and motivation and engagement. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, paired-sample t-tests, and Pearson correlation analysis in SPSS to evaluate learning gains and relationships among psychological learning variables. The results indicate a significant improvement in students’ English performance following the instructional intervention, demonstrating the effectiveness of SCT-based pedagogy in strengthening office-related English skills. Questionnaire findings reveal high levels of self-efficacy, observational learning, and self-regulated learning, along with moderate to high motivation and engagement, suggesting enhanced confidence, autonomy, and classroom participation. Correlation analysis shows that self-efficacy, observational learning, and motivation and engagement were significantly and positively associated with students’ final English scores, while self-regulated learning displayed a positive but non-significant relationship, indicating a more gradual impact on performance. Additionally, the strategic use of code-mixing, particularly Bahasa Indonesia, contributed to reducing learner anxiety, improving comprehension, and increasing confidence in professional English communication. Overall, the findings provide empirical evidence that integrating SCT-based instructional strategies with principled code-mixing effectively enhances English proficiency, learner motivation, and workplace communication competence, offering valuable implications for ESP instruction and higher education language teaching</em></p> Bhagaskoro Kurniawan, Basyiruddin Basyiruddin , Riesca Anindya Septantina Copyright (c) 2026 JHSS (JOURNAL OF HUMANITIES AND SOCIAL STUDIES) https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0 https://jhss-lppm.unpak.ac.id/index.php/JHSS/article/view/226 Fri, 24 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0000 Implementation of Tolerance Values in Islamic Religious Education at MTs Negeri 5 Sragen https://jhss-lppm.unpak.ac.id/index.php/JHSS/article/view/273 <p>The purpose of this study is to examine how tolerance values are applied in Islamic Religious Education (PAI) at MTs Negeri 5 Sragen. The study was inspired by the growing phenomenon of intolerance in educational environments that may threaten social harmony and weaken diversity values among students. This research utilized a descriptive qualitative method using a field research design. An Aqidah Akhlak teacher was the main informant for the data collection, which was done through observations, interviews, and recording. Data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing were used to analyze the data. The findings indicate that the implementation of tolerance values was carried out through the integration of tolerance materials in PAI learning, contextual and participatory learning approaches, and the reinforcement of inclusive attitudes through religious and social activities at school. Tolerance values such as <em>tasamuh</em>, <em>ta’awun</em>, <em>husnudzon</em>, and <em>tawadhu’</em> were implemented through reflective learning activities, peer assessment, and the utilization of social media as an educational medium to strengthen students’ positive behavior and social responsibility. The implementation was supported by the school environment, teachers’ roles, and school policies promoting togetherness and respect for diversity. Nonetheless, disparities in pupils' comprehension and the impact of social media that could spread intolerable narratives were noted as problems. According to the study's findings, Islamic Religious Education uses contextual and participative teaching methods to help students develop tolerance and religious moderation.</p> Balqis Tania Prayoga, Dartim Dartim Copyright (c) 2026 JHSS (JOURNAL OF HUMANITIES AND SOCIAL STUDIES) https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0 https://jhss-lppm.unpak.ac.id/index.php/JHSS/article/view/273 Thu, 23 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0000 The Issue Management Process Of The Parliamentary News Bureau Of The Indonesian House Of Representatives (DPR RI) In Maintaining Reputation : The TNI Law 2025 Ratification Case https://jhss-lppm.unpak.ac.id/index.php/JHSS/article/view/168 <p>The ratification of the TNI law by the DPR RI triggered public opinion and negative sentiment in the media that had the potential to affect the reputation of the institution.

In Samarinda City, the increasing use of internet access and digital transactions indicates that online shopping behavior is developing significantly. However, user loyalty remains a critical challenge, particularly in relation to perceived service quality and product assortment. This study aims to examine the influence of perceived service quality and product assortment on the online loyalty of Shopee users in Samarinda City. A quantitative approach was employed using a survey method involving 100 Shopee users as respondents. The sampling technique used was simple random sampling, while data were analyzed using SPSS version 26 through validity testing, reliability testing, normality testing, multicollinearity testing, heteroscedasticity testing, multiple linear regression, t-test, and coefficient of determination analysis. The results show that perceived service quality has a positive and significant effect on online loyalty, with a regression coefficient of 0.583 and a significance value of 0.000. Product assortment also has a positive and significant effect on online loyalty, with a regression coefficient of 0.335 and a significance value of 0.000. The R Square value of 0.757 indicates that perceived service quality and product assortment explain 75.7% of the variance in online loyalty, while the remaining 24.3% is influenced by other variables outside the research model. These findings imply that Shopee should continuously improve service quality, responsiveness, application stability, transaction security, and product diversity to strengthen long-term user loyalty. This study contributes to the development of digital marketing strategies, particularly in enhancing customer loyalty on e-commerce platforms in a local market context.</p> Riska Sari, Marsha Anindita, M.

In response to this issue, the Surabaya City Government developed the ASSiK Programme (Arek Suroboyo Siap Kerjo), a digital-based public service innovation designed to connect job seekers with vocational training, employment opportunities, and industry partners. This study examines the implementation of co-production within the ASSiK Programme through four stages: co-commissioning, co-designing, co-delivery, and co-assessment. A qualitative descriptive approach was employed using interviews, observation, and documentation as data collection techniques. The findings demonstrate that the implementation of co-production in the ASSiK Programme involves collaboration among government institutions, private-sector actors, and youth participants in the planning, design, implementation, and evaluation of employment services. The programme has contributed to improving youth work readiness through vocational training, internship opportunities, and easier access to employment information. Although stakeholder participation has been evident throughout the programme, community involvement remains relatively limited and continues to be largely dominated by government institutions and industry actors.</p> Edista Indiswari Artamefia, Diana Hertati Copyright (c) 2026 JHSS (JOURNAL OF HUMANITIES AND SOCIAL STUDIES) https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0 https://jhss-lppm.unpak.ac.id/index.php/JHSS/article/view/292 Mon, 29 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0000 Development Of The Smarty-Ai Model Within The Understanding By Design Framework To Enhance Students Critical Thinking Skills https://jhss-lppm.unpak.ac.id/index.php/JHSS/article/view/218 <p>This study aims to develop and examine the effectiveness of the SMARTY-AI Model within the Understanding by Design (UbD) framework integrated with Artificial Intelligence (AI) in improving elementary school students critical thinking skills.

This study investigated the process, challenges, and outcomes of English vocabulary learning through DAM—YouTube, podcasts, and social media—among students of SMA Negeri 3 Bogor, Indonesia. Adopting a qualitative instrumental case-study design with an embedded quantitative component, data were gathered from 28 tenth-grade students through a structured questionnaire combining Likert scales and open-ended items, and from an in-depth interview with an English teacher serving as a supporting informant. Quantitative data were analyzed descriptively (means, standard deviations, internal-consistency reliability), while qualitative data were analyzed thematically following Braun and Clarke. Findings show that YouTube and TikTok were the dominant platforms and that students engaged actively with DAM (composite M = 3.95), most often inferring meaning from multimodal context or consulting online dictionaries. Students perceived DAM as markedly different from textbooks (M = 4.14), valuing its engaging and audio visual nature. The most frequently reported challenges were rapid speech and unfamiliar slang, while affective and access barriers were <br>comparatively minor. Reported vocabulary growth (M = 3.59) and confidence gains (M = 3.68) were moderately positive, with slang and <br>informal conversational vocabulary acquired most. The teacher corroborated the contextual richness of authentic materials while emphasizing difficulty calibration and the need for digital infrastructure and training. The study contributes context-specific evidence for DAM-based vocabulary pedagogy and offers practical guidance for teachers, schools, and teacher-education programs in the Indonesian context.</p> Yanti Suryanti, R.

In classroom practice, students often encounter difficulties in understanding these concepts because the material is abstract in nature, while instruction is still predominantly conducted through lecture-based methods and textbook-centered learning. This study aimed to develop a Web Augmented Reality (AR)-based learning medium for ecosystem topics that is valid, practical, and effective for use in seventh-grade science learning. The research employed a Research and Development (R&amp;D) approach using the ADDIE model, which consists of the Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation phases. Data were collected through observations, interviews, expert validation, student response questionnaires, and pretest-posttest assessments. The results indicated that the developed learning media were categorized as valid based on evaluations conducted by both material and media experts. Student responses to the media reached a percentage of 78.06%, indicating that the media were considered practical and appropriate for classroom use. The effectiveness of the media was demonstrated by an increase in students’ mean scores from 2.40 on the pretest to 4.25 on the posttest, with an N-gain score of 0.71 (71%), which falls into the high category. Furthermore, the Paired Sample t-Test yielded a significance value of 0.000 (p &lt; 0.05), indicating a statistically significant difference between students’ learning outcomes before and after the implementation of the media. Therefore, the Web Augmented Reality-based learning media on ecosystem topics can be considered valid, practical, and effective in supporting science learning for seventh-grade students.</p> Indri Yani, Lufty Hari Susanto, Neng Dila Siti Fadilah, Alifia Siti Nurjanah, Dwi Sri Wahyuni, Radika Lesmana Copyright (c) 2026 JHSS (JOURNAL OF HUMANITIES AND SOCIAL STUDIES) https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0 https://jhss-lppm.unpak.ac.id/index.php/JHSS/article/view/230 Mon, 27 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0000 E-Flashcard Media Development Using Application Of Assemblr Edu On The Material On The Relationship Of Pancasila Values In Daily Life Practice https://jhss-lppm.unpak.ac.id/index.php/JHSS/article/view/222 <p>This research aims to develop E-Flashcard media using the Assemblr EDU application and test its feasibility on material on the relationship between Pancasila values in daily life practice. The research uses the Research and Development (R&amp;D) method with the ADDIE model, but the implementation is limited to the implementation stage. The research subjects consisted of three expert validator lecturers (media, language, and materials) and one teacher of material experts and 23 students of grade VI of SD Negeri Lawanggintung 2 Bogor City. Data collection techniques were carried out through questionnaires, interviews, and documentation, while data analysis used qualitative and quantitative approaches with a Likert scale. The results of the study showed that the developed media obtained a very decent category with a validation percentage above 90%. The response of students was 87% and the teacher's response of 92.18% was in the very good category. This media also shows a high level of interest, ease of use, interactivity, and motivation to learn so that the E-Flashcard media using the Assemblr EDU application is declared suitable for use in learning on the material on the relationship between Pancasila values in daily life practice.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> Mira Mirawati, Wawan Syahiril Anwar , Jaja Sudarjat , Tiara Yuniar Christin, Cindy Aulia Ramita , Nurmasari Situmeang Copyright (c) 2026 JHSS (JOURNAL OF HUMANITIES AND SOCIAL STUDIES) https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0 https://jhss-lppm.unpak.ac.id/index.php/JHSS/article/view/222 Mon, 27 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0000 Indonesian Cultural Diplomacy Strategy Through The Bipa Program In Building An Ecosystem Of Indonesian Language Learners In Germany https://jhss-lppm.unpak.ac.id/index.php/JHSS/article/view/294 <p>As part of Indonesia’s cultural diplomacy and language internationalization agenda, the Indonesian Language for Foreign Speakers Program, known as BIPA, has become an important instrument for promoting Indonesian language and culture abroad. This study examines how the BIPA Program functions as a strategy of Indonesian cultural diplomacy in building an ecosystem of Indonesian language learners in Germany during the 2023–2025 period. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, this study draws on policy documents, relevant literature, institutional reports, and interviews with stakeholders involved in BIPA implementation. The findings show that the BIPA Program in Germany is supported by a strong legal and policy foundation, particularly Law No. 24 of 2009 and related regulations on the internationalization of the Indonesian language. The implementation of BIPA in Germany is carried out through cooperation between Indonesian government institutions, diplomatic representatives, APPBIPA, and German higher education institutions. The study identifies three main strategies: connection, consistency, and innovation. The connection strategy is reflected in institutional networks and diplomatic cooperation; consistency is shown through curriculum development, teacher training, and sustainable program implementation; while innovation appears in the use of digital media, culturally contextualized materials, and interactive learning methods. However, the program still faces several challenges, including limited authentic language environments, bureaucratic constraints, unequal institutional support, and competition with other global languages. The study concludes that BIPA has significant potential to strengthen Indonesia’s soft power in Germany, but its sustainability requires stronger policy coordination, broader promotion, improved teacher capacity, and more adaptive learning innovation.</p> Keisha Izzati Marensya, Nurmasari Situmeang Copyright (c) 2026 JHSS (JOURNAL OF HUMANITIES AND SOCIAL STUDIES) https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0 https://jhss-lppm.unpak.ac.id/index.php/JHSS/article/view/294 Sat, 06 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0000 Integrated Vaccination And Biosecurity Approaches In Military Operational Readiness https://jhss-lppm.unpak.ac.id/index.php/JHSS/article/view/295 <p>Military operational readiness is increasingly challenged by infectious diseases and emerging biological threats that may disrupt mission continuity, particularly in geographically diverse settings such as Indonesia. As an archipelagic country with heterogeneous endemic disease patterns and frequent military deployments to remote and maritime areas, strengthening force health protection represents a critical public health priority. This systematic literature review aimed to examine the strategic role of vaccination and biosecurity in enhancing military operational readiness and to identify implications for national defense health systems. A systematic literature review design was conducted following PRISMA guidelines. Electronic searches were performed in PubMed, Scopus, Semantic Scholar, CrossRef, and Google Scholar for peer-reviewed studies published between January 2020 and December 2024. Studies addressing vaccination programs, biosecurity measures, and their impact on military readiness were included, and 25 eligible articles were analyzed using qualitative thematic synthesis. Four principal domains were identified: Force Health Protection, Biodefense, Operational Logistics, and Civil–Military Cooperation. Preventive vaccination and pre-deployment biosecurity training were the most emphasized strategies and were associated with reduced disease transmission and improved operational continuity. However, logistical constraints, physiological stressors, and vaccine hesitancy emerged as key implementation barriers. These findings highlight the need for an integrated biodefense framework tailored to Indonesia’s defense health system to strengthen preparedness, resilience, and sustainable operational readiness.</p> Lila Irawati Tjahjo Widuri Copyright (c) 2026 JHSS (JOURNAL OF HUMANITIES AND SOCIAL STUDIES) https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0 https://jhss-lppm.unpak.ac.id/index.php/JHSS/article/view/295 Tue, 30 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0000 Moral Algorithms: Negotiating the Ethical Compass of Muslim Youth in the Digital Ecosystem https://jhss-lppm.unpak.ac.id/index.php/JHSS/article/view/297 <p>Digital transformation has shifted the arena of value formation from physical spaces to algorithmically curated digital ecosystems. This study examines the role of social media algorithms in shaping the ethical compass of Muslim youth through a netnographic approach. The research aims to: (1) analyze the operational mechanisms of social media algorithms in shaping ethical discourse, (2) map the dynamics of value negotiation between Islamic teachings and global influences in digital spaces, and (3) formulate a digital ethics literacy model based on Islamic values. The study uses a qualitative approach with a netnographic design, involving in-depth interviews with 10 Muslim adolescents (15–23 years), content observation on Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, and Telegram over three months, and screen time analysis. Findings reveal an average social media usage of 4.2 hours per day, creating intensive exposure to algorithmic curation that forms a hybrid moral ecosystem. All participants experienced value conflicts and developed negotiation strategies through selective hybridization and the construction of hybrid religious authority. Most participants possessed basic algorithmic literacy, but its effectiveness was limited by system complexity. The study concludes that transformation of Islamic Religious Education is required through the integration of critical algorithmic literacy, strengthening of digital parenting, and multi-stakeholder collaboration so that Muslim youth can wisely navigate digital ecosystems based on Islamic values</p> Ashfia Husna Fikroti Al-Ahya, Akhmad Affandi , Ahmad Yani Copyright (c) 2026 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0 https://jhss-lppm.unpak.ac.id/index.php/JHSS/article/view/297 Tue, 28 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0000 Ethical Governance In The Transformation Of Digital Public Services At The Population And Civil Registration Office Of Sumedang Regency https://jhss-lppm.unpak.ac.id/index.php/JHSS/article/view/304 <p><em>Digital public service transformation requires not only greater efficiency and service accessibility but also governance that ensures integrity, fairness, transparency, accountability, and the protection of citizens’ data. This study aims to analyze the implementation of ethical governance in digital public service transformation at the Population and Civil Registration Office of Sumedang Regency. The study employed a qualitative approach with a single-case study design. Data were collected through non-participant observation, documentation, and semi-structured interviews with purposively selected informants representing organizational leaders, division heads, service officers, system operators, and citizens using digital services. The study focused on ethical leadership, ethical standards and codes, ethical organizational culture, accountability and controlling, and ethics education and communication. Data were analyzed using an interactive model comprising data reduction, data display, conclusion drawing, and verification, while data validity was maintained through source and technique triangulation. The findings indicate that ethical governance has been supported by leadership role modelling, standard operating procedures and ethical codes, access restrictions, individual user accounts, multi-level verification, a culture of integrity, system activity records, hierarchical controlling, and employee development. However, its implementation has not been fully optimal due to inconsistent complaint follow-up, reactive use of audit trails, irregular security audits, insufficient protection for internal reporters, the absence of specific and periodic digital ethics training, and limited transparency and clarity in communicating data protection and service status. The study concludes that ethical governance has been institutionalized in internal policies and practices, but further strengthening is required to ensure that its outcomes are consistently experienced by citizens through secure, responsive, transparent, inclusive, and public-oriented digital services.</em></p> Dewi Maharani, Dhesti Widya Nurhasanah Ningrum, Fepi Febianti, Arip Rahman Sudrajat Copyright (c) 2026 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0 https://jhss-lppm.unpak.ac.id/index.php/JHSS/article/view/304 Tue, 28 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0000 Analysis Of The Ministry Of Communication And Informatics Political Will Toward Personal Data Hacking By Bjorka In Cybersecurity Governance In Indonesia In 2022 https://jhss-lppm.unpak.ac.id/index.php/JHSS/article/view/305 <p>This study aims to analyze the extent to which the political will of the Ministry of Communication and Digital Affairs (Komdigi) affects the effectiveness of cybersecurity governance over personal data in Indonesia, using the 2022 Bjorka data hacking case as the case study.

The results show that personal data security governance in Indonesia following the Bjorka case is marked by unresolved institutional fragmentation between Komdigi and the National Cyber and Crypto Agency (BSSN), and by a political will that remains symbolic rather than substantive, reflected in reactive policy initiatives, minimal civil society involvement in drafting implementing regulations, inconsistent budget allocation, the absence of credible sanctions due to the independent data protection authority not yet being established, and recurring major data breaches after Bjorka. The study also finds that leaked personal data has been used as an instrument of repression against critical citizens, indicating that the consequences of weak data governance extend beyond economic loss into the political sphere. It is concluded that strengthening Indonesia's cybersecurity governance requires substantive and sustained political will, rather than merely formal regulatory products on paper.</p> Taufik Alfarizki , Muhammad Prakoso Aji Copyright (c) 2026 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0 https://jhss-lppm.unpak.ac.id/index.php/JHSS/article/view/305 Wed, 01 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0000 Development Of Image-Based Learning Media To Overcome Reading Difficulties https://jhss-lppm.unpak.ac.id/index.php/JHSS/article/view/223 <p>This study aims to develop picture media in early reading learning for first-grade students of SDN 375 Pasar VI Natal, and to determine the level of feasibility and effectiveness of its use.

The methodology employed is a descriptive qualitative approach, utilizing a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) in conjunction with bibliometric analysis. Data were sourced from the Scopus database through the keyword “green waqf,” subsequently filtered to encompass only journal articles. The analysis encompasses trends in publication, citation dynamics, networks of author collaboration, and thematic categorization of research subjects. The results suggest that green waqf research is currently in its nascent yet rapidly expanding phase, with a notable surge in publications anticipated post-2024. Indonesia is identified as the principal center of research activity, underscoring its pivotal role in the confluence of Islamic social finance and sustainability initiatives such as the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and net-zero emissions commitments. The literature is delineated into several predominant themes, which include Islamic finance and environmental sustainability, frameworks for the green economy, contextual applications of waqf (e.g., agroforestry and pesantren), behavioral dimensions of waqf involvement, and governance alongside ESG concerns. Nevertheless, the study indicates that the research ecosystem is still fragmented, characterized by limited interscholarly collaboration and a predominance of conceptual studies over empirical investigations. This study makes a significant contribution by delineating the intellectual framework of green waqf research and pinpointing essential gaps, notably the deficiency of empirical data concerning environmental and economic repercussions. The findings yield pertinent implications for policymakers and waqf institutions aimed at improving standardization, enhancing transparency, and integrating green waqf within sustainable development frameworks.</p> Ahmad Baihaqi Esaputra, Rafiq Azzam Al-Afif, Haryo Bimo Budi Indrasto Copyright (c) 2026 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0 https://jhss-lppm.unpak.ac.id/index.php/JHSS/article/view/308 Wed, 15 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0000 Development Of Problem-Based Teaching Materials To Improve Scientific Literacy Of Fifth-Grade Elementary School Students https://jhss-lppm.unpak.ac.id/index.php/JHSS/article/view/311 <p>Science and Social Studies learning in elementary schools currently tends to be conventional and lacks media capable of presenting real-world problems contextually. This research aims to develop valid, practical, and effective problem-based Teaching Materials using local environmental photography to enhance the scientific literacy of fifth-grade students on ecosystem topics. Method: This study employed Research and Development (R&amp;D) using the ADDIE model (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation). The resulting product is a printed problem-based book that integrates authentic photographs of local environmental degradation as the primary learning stimulus. Results: Expert validation results showed a high level of feasibility, with scores of 91% from material experts and 94% from media experts. The practicality test conducted by fifth-grade teachers reached a score of 96%. The effectiveness of the Teaching Materials was significantly demonstrated by the increase in students' average scores, from 68 in the pre-test to 86 in the post-test, with a normalized gain (N-Gain) score of 0.56 in the medium category. Furthermore, observation results indicated that 94% of students were actively engaged in analyzing scientific phenomena and formulating environmental solutions. Conclusion: Problem-based Teaching Materials supported by authentic photographs are proven to be valid, practical, and effective learning media solutions for improving ecosystem understanding and scientific literacy, particularly in schools with limited instructional resources.</p> Sukma Laila Nur Jannah , Lia Yuliati , Widiyanti Widiyanti Copyright (c) 2026 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0 https://jhss-lppm.unpak.ac.id/index.php/JHSS/article/view/311 Wed, 15 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0000 The Integration Of Arab-Malay Philological Studies And Modern Rhetorical Theory In Strengthening Nusantara Cultural Identity https://jhss-lppm.unpak.ac.id/index.php/JHSS/article/view/235 <p><em>This study aims to examine the integration of Arab-Malay philological studies and modern rhetorical theory in explaining the role of Malay-Islamic manuscripts as a medium for constructing the cultural identity of the Nusantara. Previous philological studies have primarily focused on textual criticism, transliteration, and manuscript reconstruction, while the rhetorical dimensions embedded in Arab-Malay manuscripts have received relatively limited scholarly attention. This research employs a qualitative approach through library research, combining philological analysis and rhetorical criticism. The primary sources consist of influential Arab-Malay manuscripts within the Malay-Islamic intellectual tradition, including Hikayat Amir Hamzah, Hikayat Nabi Bercukur, Syair Perahu, Taj al-Salatin, and Bustan al-Salatin. The analysis is conducted by identifying Aristotelian rhetorical elements—ethos, pathos, and logos—and interpreting cultural meanings through the perspectives of cultural hybridity and social habitus. The findings reveal that Arab-Malay manuscripts function not only as historical documents and literary heritage but also as rhetorical instruments that establish moral authority, reinforce Islamic values, and reproduce Malay-Islamic cultural identity. The interaction between Arab-Islamic traditions and local Malay culture has generated a distinctive form of cultural hybridity that enriches the character of Nusantara civilization. Furthermore, the rhetorical strategies embedded in these manuscripts contribute significantly to the formation of collective consciousness and social habitus within Malay society. This study proposes an interdisciplinary analytical framework that broadens the scope of philological inquiry and highlights the continuing relevance of Arab-Malay manuscripts in strengthening the cultural identity of the Nusantara amid contemporary globalization and cultural transformation.</em></p> Yuyun Sri Wahyuni, Fenty Sukmawaty, Nadira Permata Sandi Copyright (c) 2026 JHSS (JOURNAL OF HUMANITIES AND SOCIAL STUDIES) https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0 https://jhss-lppm.unpak.ac.id/index.php/JHSS/article/view/235 Fri, 31 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0000 The Influence Of Facilities And Service Quality On Visitor Satisfaction At Sari Ater Hot Spring As A Wellness Tourism Destination https://jhss-lppm.unpak.ac.id/index.php/JHSS/article/view/313 <p>This study aims to analyze the effect of facilities and service quality on visitor satisfaction at Sari Ater Hot Spring as a wellness tourism destination. A quantitative approach with a survey design was employed, using questionnaires distributed to visitors. The data were analyzed through descriptive statistics, classical assumption tests, and multiple linear regression. The results show that both facilities and service quality have positive and significant effects on visitor satisfaction, both partially and simultaneously. Facilities, including condition, completeness, and design, contribute to visitor comfort, while service quality, reflected in responsiveness, reliability, and courtesy, enhances visitor experience. The coefficient of determination indicates that these variables explain a substantial proportion of satisfaction, although other factors also play a role. Overall, improving facilities and service quality is essential for increasing visitor satisfaction and maintaining competitiveness in the tourism industry, particularly in wellness tourism destinations.</p> Zalfa Khairunnisa, Irena Novarlia, Oman Sukirman Copyright (c) 2026 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0 https://jhss-lppm.unpak.ac.id/index.php/JHSS/article/view/313 Fri, 26 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0000
