The use of storytelling techniques in extratextual activities for the development of children's expressive language skills

Language skills, the key elements for children’s development, are often used as a benchmark to measure the development of all abilities he/she possessed. For early childhood, time spent at school is an opportunity for them to develop their language skills, especially expressive language. The storytelling method often found in PAUD is still less innovative. This triggers boredom and result in neglecting learning process that is detrimental to students, especially in improving expressive language skills. The use of relevant techniques in extratextual activities during the learning process combined with the storytelling method will be very helpful for children. There are 12 extratextual techniques for teachers to do and nine techniques that can be done by children. These two categories of extratextual activities can make the storytelling method richer and ensure the achievement of learning targets specifically related to children’s language acquisition. This extratextual activity can trigger the development of children's expressive language in terms of adding new vocabulary, increasing the meaning of old and new vocabulary and developing vocabulary into sentences in everyday conversation. The conditioning carried out in the application of this extratextual activity also has a positive influence in terms of four aspects of language development, namely the development of phonology, semantics, grammar and pragmatics. In phonology, children are strengthened how to pronounce the alphabet correctly; in semantics, children get meaning reinforcement and additional meaning from a vocabulary; on grammar and pragmatics, improvement is given to the arrangement of correct grammar when old and new vocabulary is used in conversation.

Sexual violence in Indonesian University: On students’ critical consciousness and agency

This qualitative study analysed how aspects of critical consciousness in students played a role in the issue of sexual violence in a higher education institution. This research involved students, lecturers, and elements of higher education leaders of a university in Aceh, Indonesia. For the data collection method, the researchers used semi-structured interviews. The data was analysed using thematic analysis with the utilization of critical consciousness and student agency concept as the theoretical frameworks. This study found that aspects of critical consciousness played a significant role in dealing with sexual violence issues in university. Without critical consciousness, students would potentially err in analysing the issue of sexual violence. Aspects of students' critical consciousness were also influenced by the structure or discourse of higher education in viewing sexual violence. The tendency of campus to be more concerned with its good reputation also exacerbated the handling and prevention of sexual violence cases. The implication of this research is the finding that critical consciousness and institutional structure influence each other, both positively and negatively. To deal with sexual violence, a university must promote critical consciousness among students and academics, create pro survivors’ discourse and underpin students' agency, and most importantly, strive to cultivate gender equity perspective among university leaders. Future research should focus on investigating effective pedagogy to nurture critical consciousness for supporting the anti-sexual violence agenda in a higher education institution

The fulfillment of the rights of women and children in divorce decisions at the Syar'iyah Court during the COVID-19 pandemic

This study seeks to describe the fulfillment of the rights of women and children in the Syar'iyah Court during the Covid-19 period and the efforts made by judges in seeking to protect the rights of women and children. The type of research used is empirical legal research with the aim of obtaining concrete information regarding the fulfillment of the rights of women and children during the COVID-19 period at the Syar'iyah Court. The legal materials used consist of primary legal materials, secondary legal materials and tertiary legal materials. Data analysis was carried out qualitatively by describing the data obtained from literature studies and studies at the Syar'iyah Court. The results showed that the protection of the rights of women and children during the COVID-19 period was very low. The rights that should be obtained such as 'iddah and mut'ah living and the cost of living for children are neglected. Economic limitations due to covid-19, the loss of husband's job is the main reason so that the rights of women and children are not obtained as they should. Efforts made by judges in optimizing the rights of women and children are by delaying the implementation of the divorce pledge, making peace agreements related to the husband's responsibilities towards women and their children, giving directions to claim their rights in the reconciliation lawsuit and using ex officio rights if women do not ask for their rights in the reconciliation lawsuit.

This paper discusses the achievement for the level of equality in the women-headed family empowerment program in Kelurahan Mojosongo, Surakarta City. A woman is one of the population groups that are sustainable to poverty. Women experiencing poverty are women who become the head of the family. In Surakarta City, there are 11.502 women-headed families with a low welfare level. To resolve this problem, the Office of Women's Empowerment, Child Protection, and Community Empowerment (PPPAPM) of Surakarta made an innovation program by forming the Pekka (Women-Headed Family Empowerment) Forum in five poverty-stricken villages, one of which is Mojosongo. Kelurahan Mojosongo is a village that has the highest number of women-headed families, namely 727 people from five poverty-stricken villages. This study used gender analysis of the Longwe model to see the level of equality on women-headed family empowerment in Mojosongo, Surakarta City. The method used in this study was qualitative descriptive, and the data collection was obtained by observations, interviews, and documentation. The results of the study show that the level of equality in the women-headed family in Mojosongo only reached the second stage, namely access. Meanwhile, in the stages of awareness, participation and control have not been achieved. There are two implications of this study, namely practical and theoretical implications. For practical implications, the Surakarta City Government can use it as recommendations for empowerment programs, especially the women-headed family empowerment. The theoretical implications are expected to add to the research literature on gender analysis of the Longwe model in women's empowerment.

Discontinuity formulation of restitutions in Aceh qanun against the protection of rape victims

This study discusses the fulfilment of the rights of rape victims in Aceh in the form of restitution payments. Restitution which is the main punishment in Qanun Aceh No. 6 of 2014 concerning the Jinayat Law, has never been included in the judge's decision in the cases of rape. Basically Qanun Jinayah has shown its side with rape victims by formulating punishments for perpetrators which are certain to have a deterrent effect such as the length of prison sentences and the number of sentences handed down to the perpetrators. However, the problem of hampering the fulfilment of restitution to victims is a new problem in the realm of enforcing the Jinayah Qanun in Aceh. This raises the question of why restitution was never included in the decision of the Sharia Court for the rape case in Aceh. This research is a literature study using a normative approach which is then explained descriptively. The results of this study showed that the restitution was never included in the decision is due to the incompatibility of the restitution formulation mentioned in the Jinayat Law Qanun and later referred to differently in the Jinayat Procedural Law, namely as compensation. The fulfilment of this right to restitution is also hampered due to the absence of a governor's regulation that contains technical rules regarding the mechanism for executing restitution for victims. The impact of this discontinuity in the formulation of restitution makes judges unable to include sanctions for restitution in their decisions.

Family law reform in Indonesia according to the Maqashid al-shari’a perspective (A case study of Law no. 16 of 2019)

This research discusses family law reform in Indonesia in relation to the Law No. 16 of 2019 concerning the minimum age for child marriage. The study has been conducted using Maqashid al-syariah perspective in order to analyze first, the formulation of family law reform in Indonesia related to No. 16 of 2019, and second, the perspective of maqasid al-syariah in the law. The primary resource in this library research was Law No. 16 of 2019, and Marriage Law No. 1 of 1974. The results of the study found that family law reform regarding the age limit for marriage in Indonesia began with the existence of the judicial review process to the Constitutional Court regarding Law No.1 of 1974, more specifically Article 7 paragraph (1) which was perceived as contradictory to the 1945 Constitution Article 27 paragraph (1). This paper also proved that the determination of the age limit for marriage in Law No. 16 of 2019 is in accordance with the purpose of marriage and the objectives of sharia in general. In a nutshell, it can be concluded that there has been a reform of family law in Indonesia which can be seen from the aspect of the law regarding the age limit for marriage from nine years in the fiqh literature version to nineteen years in the version of Law No. 16 of 2019. In addition, Law no. 16 of 2019 also equates the minimum age for marriage between boys and girls, which is nineteen years, although classical fiqh literature distinguishes it.

Catcalling awareness among Universitas Pertamina’ students from the perspective of Security Studies

This study investigates the dangers of catcalling, which is harmful to women. Catcalling is a form of street sexual harassment that has a negative impact on women's mental health. The goal of this study was to see how well Universitas Pertamina students understood the dangers of catcalling.

The statistical data is intended to assess students' understanding of the catcalling phenomenon. The qualitative analysis of this study discusses in the security study using the Copenhagen School Security Study conceptual framework. According to the findings of this survey, one of the most common reasons for women to become victims of catcalling is that they were described as objects (63 percent).

Meanwhile, 68.8 percent of respondents said the way women dressed triggered catcalling. Another 58.9 percent said patriarchal culture was the catalyst for this behavior. The author argues that Universitas Pertamina students already knows catcalling behavior. However, the authors conclude that universities must educate students on catcalling behavior, which stems from patriarchal culture, on a regular basis.

Salience identity of women in terrorism

Recently the involvement of women in terrorism has increased through their various roles, from facilitators, recruiters, nurses, couriers to suicide bombers and frontline fighters in acts of terrorism. Even though jihad limit the involvement of women in action, the rising of ISIS in 2014 has increased their involvement in terrorism as jihadists. Women are given various passive and active roles such as being the perpetrators of suicide bombers. Violent behavior by women is said to be a deviation because of gender stereotypes that exist in society and shift the view that women are victims. This study used a qualitative descriptive method with a literature study to describe the identity and role that women have in terrorism. Furthermore, this study used a theoretical analysis of Sheldon Stryker's Identity Theory (1980) with the salience identity to find out how to counter women involvement in terrorism in profiling practice to decide the methods to hadling it. The results of the study showed that the salience identity of women is still not considered as the main character in terrorism so that women are often considered as victims.The involvement of women in the role is marked by the roles they carry that affect their social behavior according to the role they play as terrorists. There are various identities of women that will have an impact on policies to deal with terrorism aimed at women, they must look at the roles and identities they have in accordance with the proportions of their salience identities.
