This study aims to examine the influence of social media on university students’ consumptive behavior in purchasing fashion products. A quantitative explanatory survey was conducted involving 120 active students from the Family Welfare Education Study Program, Faculty of Engineering, Universitas Negeri Semarang, selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using a validated online questionnaire and analyzed through descriptive statistics and simple linear regression. The findings reveal that social media has a positive and significant effect on students’ consumptive behavior (r = 0.736, R² = 0.541, p < 0.001), indicating that greater exposure to fashion-related content is associated with stronger consumptive tendencies. The study concludes that social media has become a key determinant of students’ fashion purchasing behavior, highlighting the importance of strengthening digital literacy, financial literacy, and self-control to encourage more rational consumption. The novelty of this study lies in its integrated examination of social media as a digital ecosystem encompassing promotional content, influencer marketing, fashion trends, product reviews, and continuous information exposure, rather than focusing only on purchase intention or influencer credibility as in previous studies.

Boosting students’ self-directed english learning through social media engagement

2026-06-06T03:54:50+00:00

This study investigates how social media platforms can be leveraged to enhance self-directed English language learning among Muhammadiyah students. Utilizing a quantitative approach, data were collected from 72 students via a structured questionnaire measuring both social media use for English learning and self-directed learning (SDL) behaviors. Descriptive statistics revealed high engagement with social media for English learning (mean = 4.07) and robust self-directed learning tendencies (mean = 3.77), with no significant gender differences. Correlation analysis demonstrated a strong, statistically significant positive relationship between social media use and SDL (Pearson r = 0.793, p < 0.001). These findings suggest that social media is not only widely used and effective for English language learning but also a powerful enabler of self-directed learning in this context. The study highlights the potential of social media to bridge gaps in English education in geographically isolated regions and provides actionable insights for educators and policymakers seeking to foster autonomous, motivated language learners in Muhammadiyah institutions

Teachers' perception and challenges in integrating islamic values (islamic integration) in natural and social sciences learning at MI Plus Al Falah Banjarmasin

2026-06-20T05:25:49+00:00

This study aims to analyze teachers' perceptions and identify challenges faced in integrating Islamic values (Islamic Integration) into Natural and Social Sciences (IPAS) learning at MI Plus Al Falah Banjarmasin. The integration of Islamic values in IPAS learning is a crucial issue in the implementation of the Independent Curriculum because it is not only oriented towards mastery of knowledge, but also towards character building and spiritual strengthening of students. This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach with data collection techniques in the form of interviews, open-ended surveys, and literature studies. Research informants were selected through purposive sampling, namely teachers involved in IPAS learning and the implementation of the Independent Curriculum and the school principal. Data analysis was carried out through the stages of data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The results of the study indicate that teachers have a very positive perception of the implementation of Islamic Integration in science and science learning. Teachers believe that the integration of Islamic values can improve students' understanding of the relationship between science and Islamic teachings, while strengthening their religious character. The implementation of integration is carried out by linking science and science material with relevant verses of the Quran and hadith, especially on material related to living things and natural phenomena. However, the study also found several major challenges, namely teachers' limited knowledge of the concept of science and Islam integration, difficulty in finding appropriate evidence for science and science material, and the unavailability of teaching modules and learning tools based on Islamic Integration. On the other hand, the support of madrasah principals and the flexibility of the Independent Curriculum are supporting factors that strengthen the implementation of this integration. This study concludes that the successful implementation of Islamic Integration in science and education learning is influenced not only by positive teacher perceptions, but also by the availability of learning tools, professional training, and ongoing institutional support. Therefore, programs to strengthen teacher competency, develop integrated teaching modules, and develop more systematic madrasah policies to support Islamic values-based science and education learning are needed.
