Social problems facing the elderly include the ability of families and nursing homes to meet their needs. The elderly are part of the demographic bonus challenge and need support for physical, economic, psychological and social well-being. Shifts in family functions have led to an increase in the number of elderly people in nursing homes. The International Convention on the Elderly emphasizes the importance of access to basic needs and employment opportunities, but Indonesia has not ratified this convention, even though there are local policies that recognize the elderly as a vulnerable group that must be empowered. This research uses a constructivist paradigm and qualitative methods with in-depth interviews and participant observation to collect data. The results show that the pattern of caring for elderly people in families and nursing homes is different, with nursing homes often being a place for elderly people who have been neglected by their families. Families have an important role in caring for and supporting elderly people, which can significantly influence their quality of life. Nursing homes also play a role in providing care and support, but face challenges such as limited resources and social stigma. This research highlights the importance of a holistic approach in elderly care, both in the context of families and nursing home institutions. Well-functioning families and well-managed nursing homes can improve the quality of life of seniors, by taking into account their physical, emotional, social, and spiritual needs.</p> 2024-07-13T00:00:00+00:00 Copyright (c) 2024 Emmy Solina, Darsono Wisadirana, Wawan Edi Kuswandoro, Anif Fatma Chawa, Casiavera https://ejournal.ipinternasional.com/index.php/ijere/article/view/904 The Effect of Avgas and Ethanol Fuel Mixture on Fuel Spray Temperature 2024-06-19T15:55:00+00:00 Daniel Dewantoro Rumani dimas.endrawan@gmail.com Dimas Endrawan Putra dimas.endrawan@gmail.com Dimas Hari Cahyo dimas.endrawan@gmail.com Nasrul Ilminafik dimas.endrawan@gmail.com Muhamad Khoirul Anam dimas.endrawan@gmail.com <p>This research aims to examine the effect of the avgas-ethanol fuel mixture on the fuel spray temperature. The research was carried out using a pressurized tube which was sprayed into the mock up which was assumed to be an aircraft combustion chamber with a pressure of 2 bar and a distance of 7,73 cm which would later be sprayed using pure avgas, a mixture of avgas and ethanol namely A80E20 and A60E40 then added with a temperature sensor at the end nozzle, center of jet, and impact wall. The spray temperature can result in incomplete combustion and result in higher exhaust emissions and also damage to the engine if it does not match the temperature capacity of the combustion chamber walls. The spray temperature results for the A60E40 fuel mixture are the lowest temperature, namely 25<sup>o</sup>-18.2<sup>o</sup>C and knowing that the more fuel is mixed, the lower the temperature of the fuel.</p> 2024-07-18T00:00:00+00:00 Copyright (c) 2024 Daniel Dewantoro Rumani, Dimas Endrawan Putra, Dimas Hari Cahyo, Nasrul Ilminafik, Muhamad Khoirul Anam https://ejournal.ipinternasional.com/index.php/ijere/article/view/939 Development and Implementation of Digital Teaching Materials for Fable Texts in Junior High Schools 2024-06-25T04:59:30+00:00 Laely Syaudah syaudah@gmail.com Yusida Gloriani linestmaya@gmail.com Dede Endang Mascita ismawangi.18@gmail.com <p>This study aims to elucidate the design, feasibility, and implementation of digital teaching materials for fable texts intended for junior high school (SMP/MTs) students, utilizing the ADDIE model (Analyze, Design, Develop, Implement, Evaluate).

This is evidenced by the growing vocabulary and stability of its structural elements. It is important to note that, alongside this process, the language is also facing challenges in terms of its continued development and usage. It is likely that many young people and the general public are still unaware of Indonesian's position and function in the context of the country's identity. They fail to recognize the role of Indonesian as a symbol of national pride, national identity, a means of communication between citizens, between regions, and between cultures, as well as a tool for unifying various ethnic groups with their respective socio-cultural and linguistic backgrounds into the unity of Indonesian nationality. Therefore, it is essential to continually develop the Indonesian language in order to advance the nation and state.</p> 2024-07-22T00:00:00+00:00 Copyright (c) 2024 Eka Nurbulan, Emi Juwita Saragi, Anwar, Abdurrahman Adisaputera, Khairil Ansari https://ejournal.ipinternasional.com/index.php/ijere/article/view/923 Three Paradigms for Learning Mathematics with the Aid of Artificial Intelligence: A Phenomenological Study of Prospective Teacher Students 2024-06-20T16:34:13+00:00 Syfa Nurfadilah Syifanurfadhillah214@gmail.com Gifa Nur Arofah gifanurarofah28@gmail.com Toto Subroto totosubroto@ugj.ac.id Tonah tonah31780406@gmail.com <p>The 21st century has seen rapid changes in educational practices, mainly due to technological advancements such as artificial intelligence.

However, not all students can communicate in English. Students find it difficult to communicate themselves in speech, and they have encountered a variety of obstacles.The purpose of this study is to determine the factors that generate students' anxiety in speech, as well as the link between students' speaking skill in speech and their degree of anxiety. This study employed descriptive research. The study included 28 midwifery students from STIKes Paluta Husada throughout the course of six semesters. The data suggest that communication apprehension, fear of poor assessment, and exam anxiety were the elements that caused students' nervousness when making a speech.</p> 2024-07-24T00:00:00+00:00 Copyright (c) 2024 Yulina Oktaviani Harahap, Yulinda Oktaviana Harahap https://ejournal.ipinternasional.com/index.php/ijere/article/view/937 The Effect of Contextual Teaching Learning Method Toward Students’ Reading Skill at SMA Negeri 1 Panai Hilir 2024-07-10T17:12:42+00:00 Laila Fitria lailafitria566@gmail.com Harianto II lailafitria566@gmail.com <p>This study examines the efficacy of contextual teaching and learning (CTL) in enhancing reading proficiency among eighth-year students at SMAN 1 Panai Hilir. The research questions were as follows: (a) To what extent is the use of contextual teaching and learning (CTL) effective in improving students’ vocabulary? (b) What are the perceptions of students with respect to vocabulary acquisition through CTL? The research objectives were to ascertain (1) the efficacy of using CTL in improving students’ vocabulary and (2) students’ perceptions of vocabulary acquisition through CTL at the eighth-grade students of SMAN 1 Panai Hilir. The research employed a pre-experimental method with a pretest and posttest design, with the intention of providing a systematic expression or description of the data collected from a pre-experimental investigation. All eighth-year students at SMAN 1 Panai Hilir constituted the target population for this investigation during the 2024/2025 academic year. A purposive sampling approach was used to draw a sample from the population, with the resulting sample comprising 25 students. The sample was drawn from the lower class, with a total of 25 students. The research instruments consisted of a vocabulary test and a questionnaire. The vocabulary test was designed to assess the students' comprehension of the material, while the questionnaire aimed to gauge their perceptions. The research yielded two key findings: a pretest and a posttest. The results of the statistical analysis revealed that t-test values (21.823 &gt; 2.064) were significantly different before and after the CTL intervention, indicating an improvement in vocabulary acquisition. This finding supports the hypothesis that the CTL method is an effective approach to enhancing vocabulary skills in 8th grade students at SMAN 1 Panai Hilir.</p> 2024-07-24T00:00:00+00:00 Copyright (c) 2024 Laila Fitria, Harianto II
