A Study of Indonesian Youth’s Semantic Perception of English Political Memes on ‘What Is Up, Indonesia?’ Instagram Account
Political memes have become a popular medium for conveying political messages on social media, particularly among young audiences. However, understanding such content requires the ability to interpret both explicit and implicit meanings. This study aims to examine Indonesian youth’s semantic perception of English political memes shared by the Instagram account What Is Up, Indonesia? (WIUI). Using a descriptive quantitative approach, the study involved 50 Indonesian youth aged 18–30 who actively use Instagram and are familiar with WIUI’s content. Data were collected through a 22-item questionnaire using a four-point Likert scale and analyzed using descriptive statistics. The findings indicate that respondents generally demonstrated a fairly good level of semantic perception. The highest understanding was observed in multimodal meaning and irony recognition, while clarity of meaning and evaluative perception showed greater variation. This study highlights the role of multimodal meaning in shaping interpretation and contributes to the limited research on how non-native English-speaking youth interpret political memes in digital contexts. Overall, English political memes can serve as an accessible medium for political communication among Indonesian youth.

Using Repeated Reading Strategy: Its Effect on Students’ Reading Comprehension at SMAN 19 Pekanbaru
This study investigates the effect of the Repeated Reading Strategy on students’ reading comprehension in an EFL context. The study was motivated by students’ low reading comprehension ability, particularly in understanding vocabulary and comprehending narrative texts.This research employed a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental design involving an experimental class and a control class. The participants were 82 eleventh-grade students at SMAN 19 Pekanbaru selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using a 20-item multiple-choice reading comprehension test based on five indicators: identifying main ideas, finding factual information, understanding vocabulary, recognizing references, and making inferences. The instrument was tested for validity and reliability, with the Cronbach’s Alpha coefficient showing a reliability score of 0.744. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and an independent sample t-test with SPSS version 25. The findings revealed that the experimental class showed greater improvement than the control class. The mean score of the experimental class increased from 60.73 to 77.32, while the control class obtained a lower post-test mean score of 69.15. In addition, the independent sample t-test showed a significance value of 0.009 (< 0.05), indicating a significant difference between the two groups.The study concludes that the Repeated Reading Strategy is effective in improving students’ reading comprehension in the Indonesian EFL context. Unlike previous studies that mainly focused on elementary and junior high school students, this study provides empirical evidence of the effectiveness of repeated reading at the senior high school level, particularly in improving comprehension of narrative texts.

Elementary School Literacy Facilities Index: Analysis of Availability and Its Implications for the School Literacy Movement in Cianjur
This study aims to analyze the literacy facilities index in elementary schools in Cianjur and its implications for the implementation of the School Literacy Movement (SLM). The study employed a quantitative approach with a descriptive survey method involving 91 schools. Data were collected through a questionnaire covering four components: physical literacy facilities, school literacy media, reading resources, and digital literacy facilities, and were analyzed using mean scores and index calculations. The results show that the overall literacy facilities index is 3.15 (fair category). School literacy media (3.54) and reading resources (3.45) are categorized as good, digital literacy facilities (3.04) are fair, while physical literacy facilities (2.67) are the lowest. The limited availability of physical literacy facilities, particularly libraries and laboratories, restricts students’ access to learning resources and constrains the development of sustainable literacy environments, thereby hindering the effective implementation of the School Literacy Movement. Therefore, policies should prioritize the equitable provision and optimal utilization of physical literacy facilities to strengthen its implementation. These findings highlight the importance of addressing facility disparities in supporting school literacy programs.

This study aims to determine the diversity of gastropods in the mangrove ecosystem of Kayu Ara Permai Village, Siak Regency, and to develop a biodiversity handout. The background of this study is the limited availability of teaching materials and the lack of contextual learning in schools. To address this problem, a handout based on local environmental potential was developed to help students understand the concept of biodiversity in a concrete and meaningful way. This study used a quantitative descriptive method, while the handout development followed the ADDIE model, including analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation, but was limited to the development stage. Gastropod data were collected using line transect and plot methods at three observation stations. The results showed that the gastropod diversity index was categorized as moderate, with six species found in various mangrove conditions. These findings were then used as contextual material in the development of the handout. Validation results by material and media experts showed that the handout was categorized as very valid in terms of content, language, presentation, and graphics. This study contributes by integrating local ecological research into contextual teaching materials, enhancing the relevance of biodiversity learning and supporting more meaningful learning experiences.

The Influence of Peer Groups, Economic Literacy, and E-Commerce Utilization on Impulse Buying with Lifestyle as a Moderating Variable: A Case Study in Universitas Negeri Surabaya
This study examines the influence of peer groups, economic literacy, and e-commerce utilization on impulse buying, with lifestyle as a moderating variable, among undergraduate students of the Faculty of Economics and Business at the State University of Surabaya. The background of this research lies in the growing trend of impulsive consumption among students in the digital marketplace era, which raises concerns about financial behavior and self-control. The study aims to analyze how social interaction, economic understanding, and digital shopping platforms shape impulse buying behavior. A quantitative approach was employed using SEM-PLS analysis with SmartPLS 4. The sample consisted of 388 students selected through purposive sampling based on specific criteria. The results show that peer influence has a negative and significant effect on impulse buying, emphasizing the importance of social dynamics in purchasing decisions. Economic literacy does not significantly affect impulse buying, suggesting that knowledge alone does not guarantee prudent financial behavior. E-commerce utilization has a negative and significant effect, particularly through promotional stimuli that trigger impulsive purchases. Lifestyle moderates the effects of peer influence and e-commerce utilization, indicating that disciplined financial lifestyles help reduce impulsive tendencies. In conclusion, addressing impulse buying requires a holistic approach involving social influence, financial education, and awareness of technology-driven consumption patterns.

An AI in the Triad: A Conceptual Model for Augmenting Collaborative Idea Construction with Generative AI
The integration of Generative AI (GenAI) into educational settings necessitates a paradigm shift for collaborative learning, as established frameworks remain undertheorized for non-human agents. Extending the empirically grounded Collaborative Idea Construction (CIC) model and its stable peer roles (MKP, PA, DP), this paper proposes the AI- Enhanced CIC (AI-CIC) framework. GenAI is conceptualized as a novel 'Peer Apprentice' rather than a simple tool. This intervention reshapes human social architecture, transforming the Peer Assistant into an 'AI Validator' and elevating the More Knowledgeable Peer to a 'Metacognitive Facilitator.' Consequently, the collaborative workflow is hypothesized to become more linear. The AI-CIC model offers a theory-driven framework with testable propositions regarding emergent socio-technical roles and workflow shifts. It provides a foundation for future empirical research and informs pedagogical strategies for facilitating critical human-AI interaction.

Improving Teachers’ Knowledge and Awareness on Gender-Responsive Teaching Through a School Learning Action Cell (SLAC) Session
This study investigated the effectiveness of a School Learning Action Cell (SLAC) session in enhancing the knowledge and awareness of secondary teachers regarding gender-responsive teaching. Employing a quantitative one-group pretest–posttest design, thirty teachers participated in a SLAC session focused on integrating gender principles into instructional content, teaching strategies, and classroom management. A researcher-made questionnaire composed of Likert-scale items and situational questions was administered before and after the intervention. Descriptive results revealed a generally positive baseline understanding (M = 3.99, SD = 0.68), while posttest scores showed a significant increase in teachers’ knowledge and awareness (Pretest M = 8.90, SD = 2.50; Posttest M = 9.77, SD = 1.72). The paired-sample t-test indicated a statistically significant improvement, t(29) = –3.21, p = .003, with decreased score variability suggesting more consistent competence among participants. Findings confirm that a well-designed SLAC session can effectively strengthen teachers’ gender-responsive knowledge within a short timeframe. However, results also highlight lingering gaps in teachers’ confidence when handling complex gender-related scenarios, underscoring the need for follow-up, scenario-based capacity-building activities. Overall, the study provides empirical evidence that school-based, collaborative professional development can meaningfully support DepEd’s GAD agenda and contribute to more inclusive, equitable classroom practices.

Early Childhood ESL Learning in Dhaka and Kolkata: Analyzing Public Primary Schools’ Learning Environments and Learning Strategies of Pupils
This article aims to present the findings of an international comparative research conducted in the cities of Dhaka (Bangladesh) and Kolkata (India), in the field of early childhood ESL learning. It specifically focuses on language learning environments and ESL learning strategies used by the pupils of public primary schools. Both the cities are situated in the eastern part of the Indian subcontinent and belonged to the same province and country before the partition of India in 1947, sharing Bengali as a common first language. Many public primary schools in both the cities offer English only as a second language to pupils. School-attending early childhood learners are addressed as pupils interchangeably throughout the article. Using qualitative methodology, it is found that infrastructural problems and absence of advanced ESL teaching techniques in public primary classrooms persist in both the cities. Distrust between guardians and teachers adversely affects pupils’ ESL learning in both the cities. Learning environments of both the cities fail to motivate early childhood ESL learners. Over-dependence on memory-related strategies to learn ESL among the pupils is also observed. Learning L1 (Bengali) and L2 (English) at the same time, especially in a classroom setting, creates problems for some pupils. It is discovered comparatively that in a formal learning environment all skills related to and aspects of early childhood ESL learning are not paid equal amount of attention.

Analysis of Indonesian Students Scientific Literacy Ability in Chemistry Learning: A Systematic Literature Review
This study aims to examine the results of the analysis of scientific literacy abilities of Indonesian students in chemistry learning. The method used is Systematic Literature Review (SLR), which consists of five stages, namely question formulation, locating studies, study selection and evaluation, analysis and synthesis, reporting and using the results. Based on a study of 15 reputable journals indexed scopus (International Journal) and sinta (National Journal), the scientific literacy abilities of Indonesian students at the high school level and the education of prospective teachers are in the sufficient category, but there are still many who are in the low category. This is because students are not familiar with scientific literacy questions and learning which rarely trains individuals to make arguments based on observations or investigations, making it difficult for them to work on questions that require an analysis of existing scientific evidence or facts. Therefore, it is necessary to make efforts to improve scientific literacy skills through the application of learning models that train the ability to apply scientific knowledge that has been obtained in solving problems in everyday life. Problem-based learning models, ethnoscience-based learning, contextual-based guided inquiry learning, and also project-based learning.
