This study aims to analyze the interpretation of Indonesian people in Sebatik Island towards Malaysian television programs. The Sebatik community is a marginalized community who does not have access to Indonesian television broadcasts. To get Indonesian television broadcasts, they have to buy satellite dishes which the majority of the people of Sebatik Island cannot afford. But on the other hand there is a leak of Malaysian television broadcasts in the Sebatik Island area. In this case, they rely on Malaysian television broadcasts which are very accessible at all times. This situation continued for many years and Malaysian television broadcasts became the main source of communication media. This study uses the theory of Interpretive Communities, Stanley Fish. The methodology used in this study is reception analysis through focus group discussions, and observation as a data collection technique. Focus Group Discussion was conducted on the people of Sebatik Island who met the criteria in the study. The results showed that Malaysian television broadcasts were used as the main television broadcast of the Sebatik community in their daily lives. Malaysian television which contains the values and meanings of the Malaysian state is interpreted by the Indonesian people on the border of Sebatik Island. The interpretation results show that life in Malaysia is an ideal and perfect life for the people of Sebatik Island. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis interpretasi masyarakat Indonesia di Pulau Sebatik terhadap program televisi Malaysia.

This research was motivated by the learning process which was still dominated by the teacher as a source of knowledge through conventional methods in the form of lecturing; as a result, students became passive during the learning process. Ideally, learning should be able to increase students' understanding about the material and their understanding about the relationship between the material and the student's environment. Referring to these problems, it was necessary to apply a method that helped teachers to improve the learning quality. It was hoped that focus group discussions improved the teachers’ ability to apply contextual learning. This research was a classroom action research.

Umumnya, konflik yang terjadi dalam kehidupan jemaat didorong oleh faktor-faktor non-gerejawi. Pada hakikatnya, jemaat-jemaat yang berkonflik itu memiliki tanggung jawab untuk menyelesaikannya. Demikian juga dengan jemaat Samasuru dan jemaat Elpaputih; dua jemaat di Gereja Protestan Maluku yang berkonflik. Oleh karena itu, penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menemukan potensi-potensi di dalam jemaat-jemaat ini untuk membangun rekosiliasi di antara mereka. Dengan melakukan wawancara dan focus group discussion, penulis menemukan bahwa pengampunan merupakan jembatan menuju rekonsiliasi. Rekonsiliasi perlu dilakukan karena itu merupakan panggilan jemaat, di mana tanah sebagai sumber konflik dapat menjadi tempat rekonsiliasi, ketika tanah itu dilihat sebagai milik dan pemberian Tuhan..
