Utilization of Baion Plants Pandanus Tectorius to Increase Economic Value and Competitiveness of Local MSMEs
Get PDFThe Baion plant (Pandanus tectorius) is known as a thriving plant and as a natural resource that has many benefits. People in various regions, including Humbang Hasundutan Regency, have used these plant parts for various purposes, such as handicraft raw materials, food, and cultural products. However, maximum utilization is still not fully realized, so further research is needed to explore this potential. This effort is expected to be a solution to increase local MSME income, reduce dependence on imported materials, and preserve local wisdom. The purpose of this research is to explore the potential of Baion plants in supporting the development of MSMEs, as well as identify factors that affect the successful implementation of the use of Baion plants. This research method uses qualitative and quantitative approaches through surveys, product manufacturing experiments, and MSME training. SWOT analysis is used to evaluate market opportunities, while organoleptic tests are applied to Baion-based food products. The survey method is used to collect preliminary data from respondents, either through questionnaires or interviews, to understand market preferences and needs. On the other hand, product manufacturing experiments are carried out to evaluate variations in formulas and production methods, especially in Baion-based food products, through organoleptic tests to assess sensory quality (taste, aroma, texture, and appearance). In addition, MSME training is held to improve the ability of producers in product development and marketing. In evaluating market potential, a SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats) analysis is carried out which functions to find out the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats of a business

Advancing Academic Resilience through Emotion Regulation in Digital Learning Environments
Get PDFdemanding that students manage emotions in order to sustain persistence. This study explored how undergraduate students regulate their emotions as they navigate the challenges of online education. Using in-depth interviews and qualitative thematic analysis, the research uncovered four interwoven processes through which resilience was enacted. Emotional strain, often experienced as frustration or isolation, became a trigger for regulatory awareness. Cognitive reappraisal enabled students to reinterpret setbacks as growth opportunities, preserving motivation in the face of adversity. Mindfulness and self-awareness provided grounding practices that stabilized attention and emotional balance in distraction rich settings. Relational connections with peers, instructors, and family supplied the scaffolding that transformed individual strategies into sustainable resilience. Together these findings show that resilience is not a static trait but a dynamic practice forged through the interplay of meaning making, embodied regulation, and social support. The study contributes to theory by integrating these dimensions into a more comprehensive model of resilience in digital education and offers practical guidance for designing learning environments that intentionally cultivate both emotional wellbeing and academic persistence
Analysis of Students Creative Thinking Skills in Solving Problems on Global Warming Material Using the Rasch Model
Get PDFThis study aims to analyze students’ creative thinking skills in solving physics problems related to the topic of global warming using the Rasch Model approach. Creative thinking is an essential component of 21st century skills, encompassing four main indicators: fluency, flexibility, originality, and elaboration. The research utilized a descriptive qualitative design supported by quantitative analysis using the Rasch Model to assess the quality of test items and the distribution of students’ abilities. A total of 25 eleventh-grade students from a public high school in Lebak Regency, Banten, participated in the study. The sample was selected using cluster random sampling. The instrument used consisted of eight open-ended essay questions that were validated by experts and tested for internal consistency, yielding a high reliability coefficient (α = 0.86). The results indicated a wide variation in students’ creative thinking skills. Most students fell into the high (28%) and moderate (24%) categories. The fluency aspect showed the highest achievement level (72%), reflecting students’ ability to generate ideas, while flexibility (63.5%) showed the lowest, suggesting challenges in producing ideas from diverse perspectives. Rasch model analysis showed that most test items were categorized as easy and did not sufficiently challenge higher-ability students. Interview data supported these findings, showing that students frequently gave generic responses lacking originality and depth. These results indicate that current physics instruction has not fully fostered students’ creative potential. Therefore, it is crucial to implement contextual, open-ended, and real-world problem-solving-oriented learning strategies to better support the development of creative thinking in physics education
