This study aims to analyze the effect of project-based learning strategies (PjBL) and learning environments on students' learning interests in Creative Products and Entrepreneurship (PKK) subjects at SMK Negeri 1 Boalemo. The background of this study is based on the low interest in learning of students, which is indicated by the high level of absenteeism, low enthusiasm, and learning outcomes that have not met the Minimum Completion Criteria (KKM), especially in the Computer and Network Engineering and Telecommunications departments. This study uses a quantitative approach with a survey method. Data collection techniques are carried out through observation, questionnaires, and documentation. The study population was all students in grades XI and XII with a sample of 77 students taken randomly (random sampling). Data were analyzed using multiple linear regression tests to determine the simultaneous and partial effects of independent variables on the dependent variable. The results showed that simultaneously, project-based learning strategies (X1) and learning environments (X2) had a significant effect on students' learning interests (Y), with an Adjusted R² value of 0.984. This means that 98.4% of the variation in students' learning interest can be explained by these two variables. Partially, the learning environment has a more dominant influence with a contribution of 81% (β = 0.810), while the project-based learning strategy contributes 18.57% (β = 0.185). The regression equation obtained is: Ŷ = -94.361 + 0.365X₁ + 1.265X₂. Thus, it can be concluded that both the project-based learning strategy and the learning environment have an important role in increasing students' learning interest, with the learning environment as the most influential factor.

Political and Humanitarian Commitment in the Poetry of Mahmoud Darwish

Zeyad Mohammed — 2025-06-20

The research represents an endeavor to analyze "the literature of the Palestinian poet Mahmoud Darwish" concerning the themes of political and humanitarian commitment in his poetry. It explores how the poet grappled with the tragedy of the Palestinian issue, wherein entire lives were transformed into a resistance and struggle for existence and identity against a usurping and deadly enemy that sought to subvert facts and camouflage matters. Through literature, Mahmoud Darwish sought to depict the plight of the Palestinian individual, the suffering endured, and the aspirations tied to the liberation of a land unjustly stolen. Darwish endeavored to articulate the dreams of refugees and displaced individuals, emphasizing the longing to return to their homeland, Palestine. For him, this return represented a dream that must be realized, as it serves as a guarantee for the survival of Palestine and the preservation of Palestinian self, existence, and identity. In pursuit of this objective, Mahmoud Darwish employed a variety of literary styles, employing the most apt words and structures with exceptional skill. His proficiency allowed him to resist occupation, thereby securing Palestine for its people and maintaining it as a haven of peace.
