This study aims to understand the publication trend and research contribution related to character education in Indonesian high school textbooks based on the Merdeka Curriculum from 2015 to 2024. Character education is crucial for student development, and textbooks play a central role. Using bibliometric analysis, the study identified 428 publications from Google Scholar and Scopus, including journal articles, proceedings, reviews, and books. Journal articles dominated with 363 publications, followed by 30 proceedings, 32 books, and three reviews. The study focused on the number of publications and the issues underlying the keyword emergence. While 2023 had the highest number of publications (75), 2018 saw the highest citations (890) and h-index (14), indicating significant influence. The highly cited study "Strategy and Implementation of Character Education in Senior High Schools and Vocational High Schools" had 135 citations. Keyword analysis using VOSviewer revealed that "Indonesian textbook" was the most popular topic, particularly concerning gender representation and basic education. Despite increased productivity, recent publications need higher impact, achievable through improved research quality, appropriate journal selection, online dissemination, collaboration, and scientific community engagement. The focus on gender representation and basic education should be sharpened for inclusive teaching materials and to instill positive values early in Indonesian education. This study provides valuable insights and direction for future research and practice in character education within the Independent Curriculum framework.

The study puts an emphasis on exploring cognitive manipulations contained in the Internet resources (social networks and blogs) that have the greatest impact on students. The study was conducted with 159 students of Don State Technical University. 50 samples of media texts (of various formats) containing cognitive manipulation were taken from social networks sites and blogs. Focus group method, questionnaire, method of Critical Discourse Analysis and methods of mathematical statistics (Principal Component Analysis) were used for data collection and processing. The findings allow us to identify and describe the features of such cognitive manipulation as “presence effect”, “focus on pros”, “halo effect”, “emotional resonance”, “ambiguous language”, “anonymous authority”, “primacy effect”, “exaggeration” and identify the manipulations that have the greatest impact on students. Recommendations aimed at reduction of the impact of manipulative techniques were suggested. The results of the present study may help teachers and psychologists in their work.

Pembelajaran menulis dengan menggunakan blended learning secara umum meningkatkan partisipasi mahasiswa. Blended learning membuat mahasiswa memiliki kesempatan berlatih menulis lebih banyak karena mahasiswa bisa menulis tanpa dibatasi oleh ruang kelas. Selain itu, interaksi antarmahasiswa dan dosen dapat maksimal, serta transparansi penilaian terpenuhi. 75% mahasiswa pernah membaca novel sejumlah 3-4 judul. Kriteria dibaca adalah novel tersebut harus dibaca tuntas.Genre karya sastra yang dibaca oleh mahasiswa rata-rata adalah roman percintaan. Sangat sedikit yang membaca karya sastra bergenre misteri, dan tidak ada yang membaca karya sastra terjemahan. Dengan demikian, variasi karya sastra yang dibaca oleh mahasiswa kurang heterogen. Berdasarkan data tersebut, diperlukan pemetaan bacaan sastra bagi mahasiswa dan dimasukkan ke dalam kegiatan intrakurikuler sehingga lebih terpantau. Kata kunci: blended learning, menulis pengalaman, karya sastra, Schoology ABSTRACT Writing lesson using blendedlearning in general improves students’ participation. Blended learning makes the students have more opportunities to learn to write as they can practice outside the classroom. Besides, interactions between students and the lecturer can be optimal, and assessment transparency will be possible as well. 75% of the students had read 3-4 novels. The criterion of ‘read’ is that it had been completely read. The most common genre of the works read was romance/love story. There were only a few of them who read mystery, and none of them had read translated works. Thus, the works read were not really varied. Based on the data, mapping of literary readings for the students is required, and need to be included in the intra-curricular activities to make it easier to monitor.

Classic secret image sharing (SIS) including polynomial-based SIS, visual secret sharing (VSS), linear congruence (LC)-based SIS and so on, generally has the shortcoming of “all-or-nothing”, which is mainly caused by that most of their ideas are borrowed from secret data sharing designed for data rather than image. Progressive secret image sharing (PSIS) has the feature that the more shadows the better recovered secret image quality. In this paper, we introduce a general PSIS construction method with no pixel expansion from classic “all-or-nothing” SIS. Based on our PSIS construction method, three PSIS algorithms with selective progressive thresholds are extended from classic SIS schemes, respectively. Experiments are provided to demonstrate the efficiency of our method in terms of illustrations and analyses.

The indigenous languages of the Northern Kimberley region of Western Australia comprise a single genetic family (Worrorran), with three branches, and extensive multilingualism across them. Languages are understood to have been directly installed in the landscape by ancestral creator figures. On that basis language difference – especially in lexicon - figures as an important aspect of social identity. In the center of the Worrorran region there has been structural convergence due to diffusion across the three branches, but continuing lexical divergence. This indicates that both the multilingualism there and the socioculturally motivated preservation of lexical difference are of longstanding.

At Warruwi Community (pop. 400), nine very different Indigenous languages are still widely used, which is unusual in the contemporary Australian Indigenous context. Using the receptive multilingual mode, speakers frequently address one another in different languages. This mode offers speakers of small languages such as Mawng (ca. 400 speakers) an alternative to accommodating to larger languages such as Yolngu-matha (ca. 2000 speakers). Although not unique to Warruwi, receptive multilingual practices are part of a set of “mutually constituting ideologies and practices” (Nakassis, 2016) that co-construct a speech community where many small languages flourish.

Student-teacher conferences are mandatory in Swedish upper secondary school. Steering documents prescribe that these conversations should be characterised by equality between the interlocutors and “dialogue” is presented as an ideal for these interactions. This is a challenging task since this institutional discourse actualises the formal roles of student and teacher, and the interlocutors’ relationship is inherently asymmetrical. This paper presents findings from an empirical study of audiotaped student-teacher conferences. By drawing on the concepts of perspectivisation and dominance the findings highlight ways that perspectives are related to each other in the conferences. The results show that the teachers’ interactional role in the conversations was characterised by interactional dominance, while forms that had been filled out in preparation were used as tools that mediated student-teacher interaction and dominated the conferences semantically. Results pertaining to dominance and perspectivisation are further presented in terms of: perspective elicitation in the conversations; validation of the student perspective; playing down of asymmetry; and the ways that verticality between perspectives is established. It is concluded that when using guidelines involving self-assessment in a routine way as an agenda, the conferences acquires an educational and formative character rather than the open exploratory character prescribed in policy documents.

Framed against a backdrop of complex intergroup dynamics and the legacies created for foreign language education, the current article tests three hypotheses which explore the efficacy of direct contact encounters between Japanese university students and ‘idealized’ native-speaker English teachers. As antecedents to positive language learning outcomes, attention is given to student self-reported measures of pre-contact and post-contact anxiety, student appraisals of teacher desirability, and perceptions of distance between student and teacher. Drawn from 132 in- dividual contact encounters experienced by 22 students, the data indicates that significant dif- ferences between pre-contact and post-contact measures were only observable in relation to students' self-reported feelings of anxiety. Moreover, while more localized assessments were found to be significant in relation to teacher appraisals and perceptions of distance, these were limited to either pre-contact or post-contact measures. The outcomes are discussed in relation to the teaching of English as Foreign Language (EFL), the role of social interaction between student and teacher, and the significance of culture.

Place-based education and mindfulness are not new concepts, but the idea of combining the two bodies of work to explore what mindful place-based education might look like may provide a useful new perspective. The purpose of the literature review is to take place-based pedagogical methods and examine how mindfulness might influence the experience of educators engaged in place-based teaching. In this literature review, I examine the constructs of place-based education and sociocognitive mindfulness with special attention to literature that offers insight about possible overlap between the two constructs. I examine methodological choices and findings of foundational research describing both constructs. This literature review found that place-based education and mindfulness are closely linked, and that a mindful place-based pedagogy may help teachers and students experience place in a deeper way and think more critically about the societal norms and power structures that surround them. Outdoor educators should use mindful place-based education to help deepen student and teacher experiences of place with the intent of encouraging students to critically examine power structures and strive for deeper learning experiences.
