Understanding of The Mission of Processing the Gospel in Indonesia According to the Great Commission (Matthew 28: 18-20)
Full text linkThe Gospel must be preached until all mankind on earth hears the good news from heaven. The Gospel Proclamation in Matthew 24:14 states: “And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached throughout the world as a proof to all nations, and after that the end will come.” The Gospel is the commandment of the Lord Jesus Christ contained in the Great Commission (Matthew 28:18-20). The Great Commission in Matthew 28:18-20 is a global mission, because in it, Jesus speaks about authority in heaven and on earth. Jesus is not only a teacher of the word, but He is God. Currently, many Christians and fellow Muslims in Indonesia misinterpret evangelism as a form of Christianization. This is an effort to suppress and hinder the preaching of the Gospel in Indonesia in various fields of life, such as politics, economics, religion, education and other fields as well as limiting movement and hindering the progress of the Gospel. Meanwhile fellow Muslims spread Islam in Christian pockets without any obstacles and are considered legitimate activities, such as, (1) North Sumatra, (2) Kalimantan, (3) North Sulawesi, (4) West Sulawesi, (5) Maluku, ( 6) Papua and (7) Flores, (8) Sumba and West Timor in East Nusa Tenggara. The research was conducted with the aim of encouraging believers in Indonesia to be sensitive in responding to God's call through evangelism, in accordance with the Great Commission in Matthew 28:18-20 with the hope that the church understands its role in mission and evangelism, and explores strategies for capturing souls. new soul in Indonesia. The Great Commission of the Lord Jesus is recorded in the four Gospels and the Acts of the Apostles, namely Matthew 28:16 – 20, Mark 16:15 – 18, Luke 24:44 – 49, John 20:19 – 23; 21:15 – 29, and Acts 1:6 – 8. These five parts were written by four authors in different visions and aspects to complement each other. This research uses a literature study method. The research results show that fear in carrying out the Great Commission arises from various factors, including threats to safety, lack of understanding of Jesus' commands, lack of church support, obstacles to customary law and the government due to lack in understanding of the mission of the gospel in Indonesia according to the Great Commission (Mattew 28: 18-20)
Construction of Guidance for Death Row Inmates in Correctional Institutions in a Human Rights Perspective
Full text linkThis research examines the formulation of an ideal coaching model construction for death row inmates in correctional institutions. Indonesia, as a country that consistently upholds the right to life as a human right, reflects this value in the 2026 National Criminal Code. This regulation categorizes death penalty as an alternative punishment and judges are very selective and careful in giving decisions. In addition, Article 100 of the Criminal Code changes the death penalty to life imprisonment if the convict shows good behavior during detention. This condition highlights the crucial need for a comprehensive coaching model, considering that death convicts will undergo a long waiting period in prison, even potentially experiencing a change in criminal status. The proposed coaching model is expected to provide a humanist and effective framework, and reflect the protection of human rights for death convicts during the legal process. This research uses a normative method by referring to the literature and laws and regulations.
Crisis Language and Public Sentiment: A Critical Discourse Analysis of “Peringatan Darurat Garuda” Posts
Full text linkThis study critically analyzes the discourse surrounding the phrase "Peringatan Darurat Garuda" on Indonesian social media using Norman Fairclough's Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) framework. The data sources for this research are 100 Instagram post captions consisting of text that enhances the dominance of accompanying visual content. Data were collected using a purposive sampling technique through three stages: (1) reading and understanding the discourse in the Peringatan Darurat Garuda posts, (2) marking sections of the discourse relevant to Fairclough's theory, and (3) cataloging sentences within the discourse that align with the theory. This study focuses on linguistic and rhetorical structures, the context of production and consumption of the discourse, and the socio-political implications of crisis language. The study finds that 80 out of 100 analyzed posts prominently feature crisis-oriented terms such as "darurat", "demokrasi dibajak", "marah", "kepentingan rakyat", "lawan", "culas", and "oligarki." These linguistic patterns reflect deliberate rhetorical strategies to evoke urgency, highlight systemic injustices, and mobilize public sentiment. Using Norman Fairclough's Critical Discourse Analysis, the findings reveal how these linguistic elements construct narratives that not only critique power structures but also interact with broader social practices, reinforcing the role of language in shaping socio-political realities and fostering civic engagement
Developing Flipped Content-Based English Materials for XI-Grade Fashion Program at Vocational High School
Full text linkThis study aimed to develop Flipped Content-Based English Materials for eleventh-grade students in the Fashion study program at a vocational high school in Yogyakarta. The development process followed the model proposed by Jolly and Bolitho (1998), employing both qualitative and quantitative data collection methods. Quantitative data were obtained through questionnaires, while qualitative data were gathered through interviews. The findings address students’ necessities, lacks, and wants, highlighting gaps in their English proficiency. The materials were specifically designed to overcome common challenges requiring practical and communicative English skills relevant to the fashion industry. Six units were developed, combining the Flipped Learning Approach and Content-Based Instruction (CBI) to ensure material relevance to subject content and promote more effective learning by shifting instructional content outside the classroom while allocating in-class time for interactive activities. Expert validation categorized the materials as "very good," with a mean score of 3.5, within the range of 3.28 ≤ x ≤ 4.00. Student feedback from the materials' implementation indicated that the Flipped Content-Based English Materials facilitated engagement and comprehension, making English learning more meaningful and relevant to their future careers. Despite the positive outcomes, challenges were identified, particularly in ensuring student engagement with out-of-class activities. To address this, interactive multimedia resources and structured preparatory tasks were integrated to support comprehension and motivation. Overall, this study underscores the potential of integrating flipped learning and CBI in ESP contexts to enhance vocational high school students’ language proficiency and career readiness

Winckelmann's Dynamic Harmony Between Nature and Reason
Full text linkFor Winckelmann, harmony is one of the most important characteristics of the essence of beauty, which is manifested in the unity of form and natural transition. On the part of the viewer, harmony triggers a pleasant emotional response as an external manifestation of the harmonious presentation of order. Although the flaws and exaggerations of human nature hinder harmony, it is precisely because of these that a higher level of harmony is achieved. This paper attempts to show how a dynamic process can be realised in a static description of harmony, so that the viewer can achieve a deeper aesthetic experience, based on an analysis of the dynamic harmony implied in the text. Therefore, this paper considers in depth the connection between harmony and emotion, and explores how the beauty of harmony is deeply integrated with emotional experience in a dynamic sense. Finally, through the perspective of the evolution of the synergy and beauty between nature and reason, it is discussed in what sense Winckelmann's interpretation of ancient Greek art expresses dynamic harmony

Integrating Ethnomathematics in Learning to Reduce Students' Cognitive Load
Full text linkThis study aims to describe the implementation of ethnomathematics-based learning in reducing students' cognitive load on the topic of similarity and congruence. Conducted through classroom action research involving ninth-grade students in a junior high school in Yogyakarta, the study consisted of two cycles. Each cycle included planning, implementation, observation, and reflection stages. The learning integrated cultural elements from local heritage sites—Ratu Boko Temple for similarity and Vredeburg Fort Museum for congruence—to provide meaningful and contextual learning experiences. Data were collected through observations, tests, and cognitive load questionnaires. The results showed a significant decrease in students’ cognitive load, from an average score of 7.5 (difficult) in the pre-cycle to 6.0 (moderate) in the first cycle and 2.6 (easy) in the second cycle. These findings indicate that learning based on ethnomathematics not only helps in reducing cognitive load but also enhances student engagement and conceptual understanding. The approach aligns with Cognitive Load Theory by minimizing extraneous load and promoting germane load, making mathematical learning more accessible and relevant to students’ cultural backgrounds

The Concept of Civil Religion in Textbooks Pancasila and Civic Education at High School Level
Full text linkCivil religion is a concept that originally emerged in the 17th century and was coined by a French scientist named Jean Jaques Rousseau in his book entitled the social contract. This is what inspired Robert N. Bellah to write the concept of civil religion, and then the concepts put forward by Bellah became the main reference for sociologists of religion to describe the concept of civil religion in their respective countries. In Indonesia itself, Pancasila is considered a civil religion in Indonesia. This comes from the writings of Yudi Latif who declared Pancasila to be a civil religion. So that Pancasila becomes an umbrella for the diversity of religions that exist in Indonesia. Before implementing the values of Pancasila as a civil religion, it is very important that the contents of this civil religion be taught to students at the formal school level, especially at the high school level.
