Is Elementary Science Education Ready for Unplugged Coding? Teachers’ Knowledge, Perceptions, and Readiness
The integration of computational thinking in elementary education is essential to support students’ reasoning and problem-solving skills, particularly in science learning. However, limited access to computers in many elementary schools remains a barrier to the implementation of coding-based instruction. Unplugged coding offers a promising non-digital approach, yet teachers’ readiness has not been widely examined. This study aims to analyze elementary school teachers’ knowledge, perceptions, and readiness regarding the implementation of unplugged coding in science learning. An exploratory mixed-methods design was employed involving 18 public elementary school teachers in Jakarta. Quantitative data were collected through questionnaires and analyzed descriptively, while qualitative data were obtained through semi-structured interviews and analyzed thematically. The results indicate that teachers’ knowledge is at a moderate level, with limitations in core computational thinking concepts. Teachers hold positive perceptions; however, their readiness to implement unplugged coding remains moderate to low, particularly in lesson design, curriculum alignment, and assessment.

Mapping the Research Landscape of Brief Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in High School Education: A VOSviewer-Assisted Literature Review
Adolescent mental health needs in schools are rising, yet the global research landscape of Brief Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (Brief CBT) in secondary education is underexplored. A bibliometric analysis of 52 Scopus-indexed publications was conducted using VOSviewer to map trends, thematic clusters, and key contributors. Publications increased steadily over the past decade, peaking after 2020. A shift was observed from individual, clinic-based therapy to school-integrated approaches, including classroom sessions, group formats, digital tools, mindfulness strategies, and peer facilitation. Four thematic clusters emerged: adolescent emotional health, preventive strategies, coping skills, and culturally adapted programmes. Research gaps remain in family engagement, teacher-led delivery, and long-term culturally responsive models, especially in Southeast Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa. This study provides a roadmap for advancing Brief CBT in schools, positioning it as a scalable, accessible, and sustainable component of global school-based mental health systems.

The Influence of Coping Mechanisms, Academic Adjustment, and Social Support on Academic Procrastination of First-Year College Students
First-year university students often face significant challenges during their transition from high school to higher education, including increased academic demands and decreased external structure. This literature study analyzes previous research on how coping mechanisms, academic adjustment, and social support influence academic procrastination among first-year students. The goal is to provide a theoretical foundation for understanding how these three variables interact and contribute to procrastination behavior, while also offering insights for the development of effective intervention strategies. Academic procrastination refers to the intentional delay in completing academic tasks despite awareness of its negative consequences. Utilizing a literature review method, this article examines how adaptive coping strategies (e.g., problem-focused coping), effective academic adjustment, and strong social support systems can help reduce procrastination. The study also highlights the significant role of social support—emotional, informational, or instrumental—as a key mediator that strengthens adaptive coping strategies and fosters better academic adjustment. Furthermore, social support—whether emotional, informational, or instrumental—acts as a mediating factor that reinforces positive coping and adjustment. The study emphasizes the importance of integrated approaches that promote adaptive coping, academic adjustment, and a strong support system, particularly during the critical transition into university life, to improve students' academic performance and overall well-being.

Stereotypes And Adaptation Strategies of Papuan Students at Semarang State University
This study aims to find out the stereotypes and adaptation strategies of Papuan students at Semarang State University (UNNES). The research method used is qualitative with a case study approach. Data were collected through observations, interviews, and literature studies. Kim's (1998) intercultural adaptation theory was used to analyze the influence of stereotypes on individual adaptability. The results of the study show that Papuan students face negative stereotypes related to academics, adaptability, and financial management. To overcome this, they form internal communities as social support, although sometimes reinforce stereotypes. Stereotypes have emerged due to differences in language, physical form, and academic background since the existence of the Affirmation Program (2016). Papuan students develop adaptation strategies in the form of cultural adaptation, based on educational differences, and cross-cultural adaptation that focuses on adaptability and language within the UNNES environment. It can be concluded that the stereotypes that develop in society arise due to differences in language, physical form, and academic differences that have existed since the affirmation program was established.

This research was conducted using the literature study method, referring to relevant literature to build a strong theoretical framework. The results show that ICT-based assessment is able to increase learners' active participation, provide real-time feedback, and support diverse learning needs, including learning style differentiation. In addition, the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into ICT-based assessment provides additional capabilities, such as automatic scoring and in-depth analysis of learners learning patterns. However, there are obstacles such as limited teacher competence in using ICT and uneven infrastructure. Utilizing ICT in assessment provides an opportunity to create more interactive, adaptive and relevant learning in the digital era. Continuous training for teachers and policy development that supports ICT infrastructure are needed to achieve innovative and inclusive assessment.

Teacher Self-Actualization and Professionalism in the 21st Century Education Era
21st century education requires teachers to be able to self-actualize in order to improve their professionalism. Self-actualization is a process in which individuals reach their full potential through personal and professional development. Every individual has diverse potentials and with full awareness can be utilized as well as possible so that they can be actualized properly. Likewise with teachers, they need space to actualize all their potential in order to produce maximum learning. This research uses the literature study method to examine the relationship between teacher self-actualization and professionalism in the context of modern education. The results show that self- actualization contributes to increased teacher creativity, engagement and self-efficacy, which in turn improves student learning outcomes. Factors such as support from school leaders, continuous professional development, and a positive work environment play an important role in supporting teachers' self-actualization process. This research provides strategic insights for creating an educational ecosystem that supports teacher development, both individually and collectively, to meet the increasingly complex challenges of 21st century education.

Analysis of Students Learning Interest in Social Studies Education Using Technology-Based Media
This study analyzes the learning interest of 9th-grade students at SMP Negeri 15 IT Binjai in social studies lessons using technology-based media. Based on questionnaires given to 31 students, the average interest level only reached 54%. Most students enjoyed learning with technology (62%) and had internal motivation to actively participate (71%). However, attention to the material and overall interest remained low at 55% and 46%, respectively, while only 38% felt satisfied and confident using technology in learning. The lack of supporting facilities, such as projectors and computers, was identified as a major barrier to the effectiveness of technology-based learning. Technology has the potential to enhance student engagement and interest, but without adequate infrastructure, its impact on confidence and learning outcomes is limited. This study recommends improving technological facilities in schools to optimize technology-based learning.
