An effective learning process must be organized in a focus. Focus is the focal point of competency targets. The study examines the effect of Imitation, Creation, and Origination as a focus learning by using Encore software to musicality and creativity of Nasheed groups, which currently spreads all over Indonesia. It is important to know about the effect because popularity of Nasheed groups has not been matched by the quality of playing music adequately. By providing Encore software, it is expected that Nasheed groups could satisfy their fans. This research is an experiment research with Pre-test-Post-test Control Group randomized design. The factorial design is applied 4 x 3 factorial design. Three kinds of treatments were given to the experiment Nasheed groups. Imitation treatment was provided for beginner, creation treatment for semi-professional, and originality treatment for professional Nasheed group. Control group was given conventional learning. The sampling technique employed stratified random sampling with 26 groups which involved 262 munsyid (Nasheed player) which were divided into 131 experimental and 131 control groups. The effect of Encore software was analysed through MANCOVA analysis. The result of the research shows that the use of Encore technology could improve musicality and creativity for Nasheed group. This is indicated by the Pilae's trace value of 0.004 at 0.05% significance. However, based on multivariate analysis, the learning focus did not significantly affect creativity.

Achieving equal learning opportunities for all students is a major policy goal in all countries. All children have the opportunity to obtain high quality education. Teachers become a key element in improving the quality of primary and secondary education This paper is based on secondary data information collected from various sources, namely policy documents that are relevant to research topics that still apply in Indonesia, national journal articles published starting in 2010-2020, reports from various government organizations, namely the Central Statistics Agency and the Ministry of Education and Culture, reports of international organizations, namely Worldbank and UNESCO, national and local newspapers published from 2015-2020, and websites. These data are triangulated, examined, and sought supporting evidence to improve the accuracy of research. Nationally, equality education in Indonesia as measured by expand access, equal access, and quality learning shows encouraging results, only a slight imbalance occurs between urban and rural schools.

Marriage is an essential part of life for most people. In the Javanese tradition, great attention is paid to the "weton" of the couple through Javanese "Primbon." It predicts the fate of the couple in the marriage. This prediction of the Javanese outcome after the wedding has some numerical values. Therefore, this study aims to uncover these numerical values using ethnomathematics. This research uses a qualitative method. Analyzing the Javanese "Primbon" documents is meant to explore the numerical value of Javanese people. Also, analyzing the data using the Javanese "Primbon" documents was not only based on the interpretation of the researcher but also the result of discussions with cultural and mathematical experts. This study proposes numerical values such as number bases, remainder theorem, modulo, and modulus of the congruence in formal mathematics, which is associated with matchmaking using Javanese "Primbon."

This study aims to reveal the embodiment of patriarchal culture as a repertoire in the plays Sampek and Engtay, which is the background of the creation so that the foreground intended by the author can be revealed. This study uses Wolfgang Iser’s repertoire theory as the formal object and the text of the Sampek and Engtay plays as the material object. After that, material objects that contain textual reality (reality in the text) are then connected with everything that is the background of creation, including social, cultural, and historical norms as extratextual reality (reality outside the text).

Oral folklore tradition is a unique phenomenon in West Borneo. This study aims to gain the lecturer's perspectives and reflection toward its implementation as a project-based activity for encouraging university students to transform local folklore into texts in English. It combines Finnegan's instructional procedure, and Gordon's synectic model and the creative state, which has been defined as creative instruction. Multiple observations and an in-depth interview with the folklore lecturer were conducted for this qualitative investigation. The lecturer is recognized as being exceptionally representative of this study employing purposive sampling under lived experience study because of his proficiency and enthusiasm. Having this creative instruction under supervision makes it clear that there is more room for the student's imagination and creativity to grow throughout this project-based activity. It gives them freedom to freely pursue their interests. Without excluding the possibilities of use in areas where there is still local folklore, this creative instruction is specifically suited for regions that are still rich in oral tradition. Further research is essential, nevertheless, as this study does not go into great detail on the perspectives and involvement among various students, the diversity of cultures and geographies, or the advancement of artificial intelligence (AI).

The ethnomathematics approach is considered effective on students' mathematics learning achievement. Integrating culture and mathematics can provide meaningful mathematics learning so that it makes it easier for students to understand mathematical concepts. However, previous research investigating the effectiveness of applying an ethnomathematics approach to mathematics learning achievement showed ambiguous results. Therefore, this study will test the effectiveness of the ethnomathematics approach to student achievement compared to conventional learning with a meta-analysis approach. This study analyzed 14 effect sizes from 11 primary studies published in national and international journals that met the inclusion criteria. Data collection uses the online database Google Scholar, Education Resources Information Center (ERIC), Directory of Open Access (DOAJ), Springer publishing, AIP Proceedings, IOP Sciences, and Elsevier. The results of the analysis using the random-effect approach obtained a combined effect size of (d=1.35; p<0.05). This value is included in the very large effect category. Therefore, it can be concluded that the use of the ethnomathematics approach has a significant effect on students' mathematics achievement when compared to conventional learning. The findings of this meta-analysis show the consistency of the publication of research results regarding the effectiveness of using the ethnomathematics approach to student achievement. This research can also be used as a basis for decision making by educators in improving the quality of learning mathematics in the classroom. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this study, he studied a poem by Djoko Saryono entitled Rahwana's the Voice of the Heart. Researchers reviewed by analyzing the lyrics and background of the author and the creation of the poem. The lyrics analyzed will be parsed and interpreted for meaning. While the background is in the form of experiences and background of Djoko Saryono. This research uses qualitative descriptive research methods derived from the poem Rahwana's the Voice of the Heart. This study used three concepts from Wilhelm Dilthey namely erlebnis (life experience), ausdruck (expression), verstehen (understanding). Djoko Saryono has experience living in the field of culture that has a long process, and it has been believed that having knowledge about culture, art, and literature with evidence is often invited to be a resource person. Since childhood, he has been dabbling and loves puppetry. In addition, Djoko Saryono has credibility with evidence of many books published and has been one of the institutions in the arts. Therefore, the writing of the poem Rahwana's the Voice of the Heart is influenced by his background, which has long been in the field of culture. Especially the puppetry that takes the figure of Rahwana as one of the figures that are indeed interesting to discuss. The concept of ausdruck according to hermeneutic Wilhelm Dilthey in the poem Rahwana's the Voice of the Heart is divided into two parts, namely: 1) the style of language and the diction of the poem Rahwana's the Voice of the Heart is used to understand the poem of The Voice of The Heart of Rahwana and 2) the expression djoko Saryono in the poem Rahwana's the Voice of the Heart. The concept of verstehen that can be understood in the poem entitled "Rahwana's the Voice of the Heart" is, Rahwana, which is interpreted as a figure that describes the thoughts of Djoko Saryono. Rahwana, who objected to the reproach he received, was a depiction of Djoko Saryono himself. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
