Fatmawati Fatmawati — 2025-11-17

This study analyzes the use of nonverbal signals among English Education students at Tomakaka University, Mamuju, in academic settings. The research aims to describe how students employ nonverbal cues during classroom interactions to demonstrate engagement and facilitate communication. A total of 30 students participated as research subjects. Using a qualitative descriptive design, data were obtained through video recordings, classroom observations, and semi-structured interviews. Content analysis was applied to identify and categorize nonverbal behaviors, with attention to eye contact, gestures, posture, and facial expressions. The results show that students actively used eye contact, hand gestures, posture shifts, and facial expressions as integral components of their communicative practices. These nonverbal behaviors contributed to clearer interaction patterns and supported student participation in the learning process. The study highlights the significance of nonverbal communication in academic contexts and suggests that understanding these cues can assist educators in developing more effective instructional strategies.

Financial Performance of Savings and Loan Cooperatives in Perspective Fund Management and Governance

Cahyani Ahmad — 2025-11-23

This study aims to analyze the financial performance of savings and loan cooperatives through a review of ten journals that review liquidity ratios, solvency, profitability, operational efficiency, and quality of cooperative governance. The method used is a literature study by combining analysis of scientific journals and online supporting data, so as to provide a comprehensive picture of the financial stability of the cooperative. The results of the study show that most cooperatives face problems of low liquidity, high dependence on debt, weak profitability, and suboptimal operational efficiency. Some cooperatives are even in the bankruptcy-prone zone based on the Altman Z-Score assessment. On the other hand, cooperatives that consistently apply financial statement analysis, have strong own capital, and implement good governance and transparency are proven to have more stable performance and higher levels of member participation. These findings confirm that improving the quality of accounting human resources, optimizing the use of information technology, discipline of financial ratio analysis, and strengthening risk management are urgent needs to maintain the sustainability of savings and loan cooperatives in Indonesia.

Gusnawati Honjong — 2025-11-25

This study aims to explore the implementation of the Deep Learning approach in the teaching and learning process at SMK Tiwikrama Mamuju. The research employed a qualitative design to gain an in-depth understanding of how the approach is applied in classroom practice and how it influences students’ engagement and learning experiences. The population of this study consisted of 30 second-grade students of SMK Tiwikrama Mamuju. Since the total number of students was relatively small, total sampling was applied, resulting in 30 students serving as the research sample. Data were collected through classroom observations, semi-structured interviews with students and teachers, and documentation review of lesson plans and learning materials. The observation focused on instructional strategies, student participation, and learning interactions. Interviews were conducted to obtain detailed insights into students’ perceptions and teachers’ experiences in implementing the Deep Learning approach. Documentation was used to support and validate findings from observations and interviews. The data were analyzed using qualitative descriptive analysis following the interactive model of Huberman and Miles, which includes data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing/verification. The findings reveal that the implementation of the Deep Learning approach encouraged active student participation, critical thinking, collaborative learning, and deeper conceptual understanding. Students demonstrated increased motivation and engagement during the learning process. However, challenges were identified, including limited instructional time and the need for teacher readiness in designing higher-order learning activities. Overall, the Deep Learning approach contributed positively to improving the quality of the teaching and learning process at SMK Tiwikrama Mamuju.
