Konflik batin pada tokoh utama dalam novel lost in Ningxia karya Asma Nadia
Section: Articles Keywords: psikologi sastra, teori kurt lewin, lost in ningxia, inner conflict, literary psychology, Kurt Lewin’s theory This study aims to describe the forms of inner conflict and identify the most dominant type of conflict experienced by the main character in the novel Lost in Ningxia by Asma Nadia. The study employs a literary psychology approach based on Kurt Lewin's conflict theory, which classifies conflict into three main types: approach-approach, avoidance-avoidance, and approach-avoidance. The method used is descriptive qualitative, with library research as the data collection technique. The analysis reveals that the main character experiences all three types of inner conflict; however, the approach-avoidance conflict emerges as the most dominant. This type of conflict arises when the character feels drawn to make a decision due to its promising outcome, yet simultaneously feels fear or hesitation due to potential negative consequences. Psychological, social, and spiritual factors serve as the primary triggers of these conflicts, significantly influencing character development and the narrative's direction. This study reinforces the relevance of Lewin’s theory in analyzing the psychological dynamics of literary characters and contributes to literary psychology studies, particularly in exploring complex internal dilemmas related to identity and life transitions.

Kajian postmodernisme Jean Francois Lyotard dalam novel Dompet Ayah Sepatu Ibu karya J.S. Khairen
Section: Articles Keywords: Dompet ayah sepatu ibu, J.S. Khairen, postmodern, novel, jean francois lyotard, postmodernism, literary analysis, cultural representation, narrative technique This study aims to describe the postmodern aspects in the novel Dompet Ayah Sepatu Ibu by J.S. Khairen based on Jean-François Lyotard's theory of postmodernism. As a cultural product, literature constantly evolves in response to changes in time and social reality. In this context, a new paradigm emerged to replace modernism—postmodernism—which has influenced the form, content, and modes of literary expression. This research employs a qualitative descriptive approach with data sourced from the novel's text that represents postmodern elements such as eclecticism, parody, pastiche, irony, and camp. The findings reveal that the novel reflects the characteristics of postmodern society through the actions and attitudes of its characters in facing the realities of their time. Key findings include the psychological exploration of the main characters—Zenna and Asyrul—as well as creative artistic expressions that do not fully represent reality objectively. Eclecticism is evident in the integration of foreign cultures into local culture; parody appears through emotionally dramatized narratives; pastiche is present in the imitation of styles and themes from past texts, such as depictions of a humble family struggling against poverty and ignorance; while irony highlights the contrast between the characters' expectations and the reality they must face. Thus, this novel presents a strong representation of complex and reflective postmodern values.

Analisis kemampuan representasi matematis berdasarkan self efficacy siswa pada materi fungsi kuadrat
Section: Articles Keywords: Representasi matematis, self-efficacy, fungsi kuadrat, mathematical representation, quadratic functions, problem solving Mathematical representation ability is a critical competency that students must possess to understand and solve mathematical problems, particularly in quadratic functions. This study aims to describe students’ mathematical representation abilities based on their level of self-efficacy. A descriptive qualitative approach was used with six tenth-grade students selected based on their self-efficacy questionnaire results, consisting of two students each from high, medium, and low self-efficacy categories. The research instruments included a self-efficacy questionnaire, a mathematical representation test, and a semi-structured interview guide. The results revealed that students with high self-efficacy were able to fulfill all indicators of mathematical representation—symbolic, verbal, and visual—comprehensively and accurately. Students with medium self-efficacy could meet the three indicators, but with some errors in symbolic representation. In contrast, students with low self-efficacy mostly showed verbal representation ability and encountered difficulties in understanding and converting between visual and symbolic forms. These findings suggest a positive correlation between students’ self-efficacy levels and the quality and completeness of their mathematical representations. Thus, efforts to enhance students' self-efficacy should be considered an essential part of mathematics instruction.
