Implementation of School Literacy Movement through Reading Literacy Journals in Elementary School
The School Literacy Movement (Gerakan Literasi Sekolah/GLS) is a national program designed to enhance students’ basic literacy skills, particularly reading, writing, and critical thinking. However, its implementation at the elementary school level has not always produced optimal outcomes. This study aims to analyze the implementation of reading literacy journals as part of the School Literacy Movement in a sixth-grade elementary school. A qualitative descriptive approach was employed, involving classroom observations, interviews with teachers and students, and documentation analysis. The findings indicate that the use of reading literacy journals contributes positively to students’ reading habits and reflective skills, yet several challenges persist, including inconsistent implementation, limited reading materials, and varying levels of student motivation. Despite these constraints, the literacy journal serves as an effective medium for monitoring students’ reading activities and encouraging reflective reading practices. The study concludes that strengthening teacher guidance, providing diverse reading resources, and ensuring consistent literacy routines are essential to optimize the effectiveness of literacy journals within the School Literacy Movement framework.

Analysis of the Role of the State in Equitable Access to Higher Educatio
This study examines the role of the state in supporting equal access to higher education by linking constitutional promises and existing realities. This study aims to combine constitutional, fiscal policy, and empirical perspectives on access to higher education to gain a more comprehensive understanding of the existing gaps. Using secondary data analysis methods, it was found that constitutional promises have not been fully realized in terms of equal access to higher education, because the problem of access to higher education in Indonesia cannot be separated from the imbalance between affirmative policies for individuals and the strengthening of institutional funding for higher education. Assistance programs such as KIP-Kuliah have positive potential, but implementation dysfunctions such as inaccurate data validation and disproportionate quota allocation reduce their effectiveness. Limited student assistance and inadequate higher education funding result in the burden of higher education costs being shifted to students. This condition confirms that the realization of constitutional promises in the field of higher education still faces deep structural challenges.

An Analysis of the Instillation of Nationalism Values in Fourth-Grade Students’ Instructional Textbooks
This study aims to analyze the instillation of nationalism values ​​in the Pancasila Education Textbook for grade IV elementary school published by Buku Ajar X, identify the values ​​contained, and evaluate the extent to which the presentation reflects the diversity of Indonesian culture. The research method uses a descriptive qualitative approach, which examines texts, discourse practices, and social practices. Data were obtained through documentation of texts, illustrations, and learning activities in the textbook, which were analyzed based on the following indicators: 1. Love for the homeland 2. Mutual cooperation 3. Tolerance 4. Proud to be Indonesian. The results of the study indicate that the textbook contains nationalistic values, but the delivery is more implicit through stories, illustrations, and activity instructions. The most dominant value is love of the homeland, which is displayed through the flag ceremony as a symbol of the state, and school discipline. Mutual cooperation is represented through collective activities such as cleaning the classroom or community service, while tolerance is depicted through illustrations of harmony between religious communities, for example, Balinese pecalang who maintain security when Muslims perform worship. Pride as an Indonesian nation is shown through cultural parades, traditional dances, and traditional clothing. Although Indonesia's cultural diversity is present in the textbook, its representation is still symbolic without in-depth explanation.

The Influence of Students' Learning Styles on Independent Character in Grade II of Elementary School
This study aims to empirically examine the influence of learning styles (visual, auditory, and kinesthetic) on the formation of independent character of grade II elementary school students. This study uses a quantitative approach with the explanatory survey method. The research population was all 62 grade II students at SD Muhammadiyah 1 Bangkalan, which were taken as a saturated sample (total sampling). Data were collected using two types of questionnaires. The learning style questionnaire (15 items) measures visual, auditory, and kinesthetic preferences, while the independent character questionnaire (10 items) measures aspects of initiative, discipline, responsibility, confidence, and ability to overcome difficulties. The data was analyzed with descriptive and inferential statistics. Prerequisite tests include the Kolmogorov-Smirnov normality test and the Lack of Fit linearity test. Hypotheses were tested using simple linear regression analysis for each learning style. The results of the study showed that the three learning styles had a significant effect on independent character. Kinesthetic learning style had the most dominant influence with a contribution of 47.2%, followed by auditory (26.8%) and visual (13.8%). These findings confirm the theory that active learning that fits into students' learning modalities, particularly kinesthetics, creates a sense of competence and autonomy that promotes independence. Learning style significantly affects the formation of independent character of grade II elementary school students, with kinesthetic learning style as the strongest predictor. The implications of the study emphasize the importance of implementing differentiated learning that accommodates a diversity of learning styles, especially kinesthetic approaches, to optimize the formation of independent character from an early age.

Challenges of Applying Deep Learning in Elementary Schools: Descriptive Studies at SD Karya Tunggal Surabaya
This study aims to comprehensively identify and analyze the dominant factors that are challenges in the implementation of Deep Learning in elementary schools, as well as the dynamics of interaction between these factors. This research uses a qualitative approach with a case study design, which was conducted at SD Karya Tunggal Surabaya. Data collection techniques include in-depth interviews, participant observations, and documentation studies. Data is analyzed by means of data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion/verification. This study reveals four interrelated dominant inhibiting factors: (1) The dense curriculum load creates a dilemma between completing the material and achieving depth of understanding; (2) Teachers' pedagogical capacity in designing and facilitating inquiry learning and process assessment which is still limited; (3) A conventional (teacher-centered) learning culture that has been institutionalized and creates resistance to change; and (4) Limited resources and support systems, such as student ratios, time, and administrative burden. These four factors form a complexity of systemic challenges.

Strict Parenting Communication Experience for Students in the Era of Generational Shift
Family communication experiences play an important role in shaping how students interpret relationships with parents and express themselves. This study aims to explore the communication experiences of students raised under strict parenting in the context of generational shifts. Using a descriptive qualitative approach with a phenomenological method, data were collected through in-depth interviews with seven students of Universitas Trunojoyo Madura. The findings show that students’ communication experiences are marked by strong parental control, limited dialogue, and predominantly one-way communication. These conditions lead to selective communication, cautious self-expression, conflict avoidance, and adaptive strategies such as withholding information and seeking emotional support outside the family. Generational value differences further intensify communication distance between parents and students.The study concludes that strict parenting shapes students’ communication experiences, self-expression, and social relationships in the university environment.

Communication Accommodation Strategies of International Exchange Students in Interacting with Local Students at Trunojoyo Madura University
This study aims to examine communication barriers and communication accommodation strategies employed by international exchange students in their interactions with local students at Trunojoyo Madura University. Differences in cultural background, language, and social practices frequently create communication challenges that affect the adaptation process of international students in the campus environment. This research adopts a qualitative approach using a narrative research design. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and documentation involving four international exchange students who had studied at Trunojoyo Madura University for a minimum of six months. The findings reveal that the primary communication barriers include limited proficiency in the Indonesian language, differences in communication styles, and variations in social norms. To address these challenges, international students apply several communication accommodation strategies, such as linguistic convergence, seeking assistance from local students, utilizing nonverbal communication strategies, and maintaining their original cultural identity. These strategies facilitate more effective interactions and foster harmonious social relationships. The study contributes theoretically to intercultural communication studies and practically serves as a reference for higher education institutions in designing support programs for international students.

Expression in Fashion as Visual Communication Among Students
This study explores the ways in which university students employ fashion as a medium of expression and visual communication within the campus environment. Using a qualitative research framework with a phenomenological approach, the study seeks to understand students’ lived experiences and the meanings they construct through their everyday fashion choices. The analysis focuses on how clothing functions beyond its practical purpose and becomes a visual form of communication in social contexts. The findings reveal that fashion operates as a symbolic language through which students express identity, personal values, emotions, and individual preferences. Students actively balance self-expression with institutional norms by adapting their fashion styles to campus regulations while maintaining distinctive personal characteristics. This negotiation process positions fashion as a dynamic and strategic form of visual communication that enables nonverbal interaction among students. The study further indicates that fashion contributes significantly to the construction of identity and self-representation, allowing students to communicate aspects of themselves without relying solely on spoken language. Overall, fashion emerges as an adaptive visual communication practice that reflects both personal creativity and the social dynamics of the academic environment.

Coffee Joy Cafe's customer service communication strategy to attract customers
This study aims to analyze the communication strategies implemented by customer service at Café Kopi Joy in attracting customers, particularly in the campus environment. This research employs a qualitative descriptive approach using a constructivist paradigm. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation involving the café owner, manager, customer service staff, and customers. The findings indicate that customer service communication strategies prioritize interpersonal relationships rather than direct promotional efforts. The application of FIRO theory covering inclusion, control, and affection is reflected in friendly greetings, clear service explanations, and warm, empathetic interactions with customers. These strategies contribute to customer comfort, positive service experiences, and increased interest in revisiting the café. This study highlights the importance of customer service communication as a strategic element in attracting customers in a competitive café industry.

Experiences of Emotional Burnout among College Students as Organizational Activists and Part-Time Workers: A Phenomenological Case Study in College Students
Students who hold dual roles as organizational activists and part-time workers face increasing academic, social, and emotional demands. This study aims to explore how students at Universitas Trunojoyo Madura experience and interpret emotional exhaustion. A qualitative approach with a phenomenological method was employed to capture students’ lived experiences. Data were collected through in-depth interviews and reflective accounts of daily activities. The findings reveal that emotional exhaustion is characterized by persistent fatigue, internal pressure, difficulty in managing priorities, and withdrawal from social interactions when academic, work, and organizational responsibilities overlap. Despite these challenges, students develop coping strategies, including flexible time management, utilizing limited free time to complete tasks, and seeking emotional support from family members, partners, and peers. Furthermore, the experience of managing multiple roles contributes not only to psychological strain but also to the development of self-identity, independence, and awareness of mental health. This study suggests that higher education institutions should provide more empathetic academic policies and psychological support systems to help students balance multiple roles without compromising their emotional well-being.

Netizens' Views on the Theft of Artists' Works by AI on Social Media X Against the Midjourney Lawsuit Case
This study examines online communities' views on the alleged art theft by artificial intelligence (AI) on social media platform X, focusing on the lawsuit between Disney and Midjourney. The purpose of this study is to analyze how the general public discusses and positions the issue of AI copyright, and how they construct meanings related to creativity, originality, and ownership of works today. This study uses a qualitative approach with a case study method and is based on a constructivist paradigm, and applies the Critical Discourse Analysis model developed by Teun A. Van Dijk. Data were obtained through in-depth interviews with selected informants and observations of netizen conversations on platform X. The results show two main opposing views: those who view the use of AI as a violation of ethics and copyright that is detrimental to human creativity, and those who consider AI to be a natural technological innovation that supports the creative process. This study concludes that social media plays a role in the formation of meaning, where people actively discuss, debate, and negotiate their understanding of AI, copyright, and creativity.

The Role of Communication Interaction Within the Regional Organization of the North Sumatra Student Association in Alleviating Homesickness Experiences Among New Migrant Students
This study explores the role of communication interactions within the Ikatan Mahasiswa Sumatera Utara (IKAMASU) regional student organization in alleviating homesickness among first-year migrant students at Universitas Trunojoyo Madura. Using a qualitative phenomenological approach, data were collected from purposively selected first-year North Sumatran students and organizational administrators through semi-structured interviews, participant observation, and documentation; data were analyzed following a Moustakas-inspired phenomenological procedure with method triangulation to ensure credibility. Findings show that IKAMASU functions as a family-like social space where intensive verbal exchanges (often in regional language), supportive nonverbal behaviors (open posture, empathic gestures), senior-member mentoring, and continuous digital communication together create emotional security and a sense of belonging. These communication processes reduce loneliness, normalize homesickness as a shared experience, and facilitate students’ psychological and social adaptation to campus life. The study concludes that structured, identity-based peer interaction within regional student organizations constitutes an effective social-support mechanism for mitigating homesickness and improving early university adjustment; universities should recognize and strengthen such community networks as part of student well-being initiatives.

Forms of Verbal and Non-Verbal Communication in Toxic Relationships in Teenage Dating Relationships
This study examines verbal and non-verbal communication patterns in toxic adolescent romantic relationships, identifying the factors that compel teenagers to remain in such dynamics and assessing the resulting emotional and social impacts. Employing a qualitative phenomenological approach, the researchers conducted in-depth interviews, non-participant observations, and documentation with eight informants (aged 18–23) in East Java who have experienced toxic dating environments. The findings categorize toxic communication into two spheres Characterized by manipulation, blaming, demeaning language, and implicit threats. Non-Verbal: Marked by high-pitched intonation, aggressive expressions, "silent treatment," and restricted social interactions. Despite these harms, participants often remained in these relationships due to emotional dependency, fear of abandonment, and the dangerous normalization of toxic behavior, misinterpreting control as a form of affection. Toxic communication patterns profoundly damage adolescent well-being, leading to diminished self-esteem, heightened anxiety, and social withdrawal. The study highlights that interpersonal communication is the primary vehicle through which toxic dynamics are both constructed and sustained, emphasizing the need for healthier relationship literacy among youth.

Student Communication Experience Facing Digital Fatigue in the Era of Hyper-Connectivity
This study aims to understand how university students perceive the experience of digital fatigue and the communication strategies they employ to manage it within an era of hyper-connectivity. While digital platforms offer academic efficiency, they simultaneously create psychological pressure through information overload and demands for constant responsiveness. This research utilizes a qualitative approach with a phenomenological method. Data were gathered through in-depth interviews with students from various academic backgrounds. The analysis applies Stuart Hall’s Reception Theory to examine how students interpret and negotiate digital messages and pressures. The findings reveal that students experience digital fatigue characterized by mental exhaustion, emotional burnout, and decreased academic motivation. However, students are not passive recipients; they actively implement diverse communication strategies, including digital detoxes, screen time limits, notification management, physical activity, and open interpersonal communication. This study demonstrates that students act as active agents capable of negotiating meaning and building resistance against hyper-connectivity demands. It contributes to digital communication studies by highlighting the role of individual interpretation and adaptive strategies in overcoming digital fatigue.

Feminist Male Communication Experience in Revealing Gender Identity in the Campus Environment
This study explores the communication experiences of feminine male students at Trunojoyo University, Madura, a region characterized by conservative and religious norms. Utilizing a qualitative phenomenological approach, the research examines how three purposively selected informants navigate their gender identity within a dominant masculine culture. Data were gathered through in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation. The findings reveal that informants express femininity through both verbal and non-verbal communication, including soft speech patterns, refined gestures, neat aesthetics, and high emotional openness. However, these expressions are highly contextual; while informants are authentic in "safe spaces" or among supportive peers, they often perform communication adjustments in formal or public settings to mitigate social stigma and negative labeling. Key factors enabling identity disclosure include robust self-acceptance, social support systems, and the university’s relatively inclusive academic climate. The study concludes that gender identity is not a static trait but a dynamic, negotiated process. It highlights the tension between individual authenticity and cultural expectations, emphasizing that the campus serves as a critical site for negotiating identity through continuous social interaction.

Communication Experience of Non-Madura New Students in Facing Culture Shock of Madura Dialect
This study aims to determine the communication experiences of new non-Madurese students in dealing with culture shock due to differences in the Madurese dialect at Trunojoyo University, Madura. The study used a qualitative approach with a phenomenological method. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation of five new non-Madurese students selected using a purposive sampling technique. The results showed that students experienced culture shock in the form of confusion over the intonation of the Madurese dialect which was considered harsh, misunderstandings of meaning, anxiety in interactions, and expressing themselves in the initial stages of adaptation. Over time, students began to develop communication adaptation strategies, such as using Indonesian, understanding the local cultural context, and building supportive social relationships. This study confirms that the Madurese dialect plays a significant role in the communication experiences and adaptation process of new students in the campus environment.
