This study aims to analyze the factors influencing the price of skipjack tuna (Katsuwonus pelamis) and to identify the most dominant factor. The study was conducted at the Sodohoa Fishery Port in Kendari City with a population of 196 fishermen and a sample of 66 respondents, determined using the Slovin formula with a 10% margin of error. Data analysis employed multiple linear regression using a log-linear model via natural logarithmic (Ln) transformation. The results indicate that production volume (X₁), operating costs (X₂), and weather conditions (X₃) have a significant effect on skipjack tuna prices (Y). The production volume coefficient of -0.579 indicates that a 1% increase in production volume will decrease the price by 0.579%, while the operational cost coefficient of 0.023 indicates that a 1% increase in operational costs will increase the price of skipjack tuna (Y) by 0.023%. The weather coefficient of -0.1210.679 indicates that good weather tends to lower prices compared to bad weather. The R² value of 0.650 indicates that 65% of the variation in price is explained by the three variables, while 35% is influenced by other variables outside the model. Operating costs are the most dominant factor influencing skipjack tuna prices

Jagung ketan (Zea mays L. var. ceratina) merupakan salah satu sumber daya genetik lokal yang berpotensi sebagai sumber pangan; namun, produktivitasnya masih relatif rendah, sehingga diperlukan upaya untuk meningkatkan pertumbuhan tanaman melalui penggunaan jamur mikoriza arbuskular (AMF) sebagai biostimulan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui respons pertumbuhan tanaman jagung ketan yang diberi perlakuan AMF dan mengidentifikasi dosis yang memberikan respons terbaik. Penelitian ini dilakukan dari Oktober hingga Desember 2025 di Desa Huangobotu, Kecamatan Dungingi, Kota Gorontalo, menggunakan Rancangan Acak Kelompok Lengkap (RCBD) non-faktorial dengan empat perlakuan: D0 (tanpa AMF), D1 (10 g AMF), D2 (20 g AMF), dan D3 (30 g AMF), dengan tiga ulangan. Parameter yang diamati meliputi tinggi tanaman, jumlah daun, indeks luas daun, panjang tongkol dengan sekam, panjang tongkol tanpa sekam, lingkar tongkol dengan sekam, lingkar tongkol tanpa sekam, berat tongkol dengan sekam, berat tongkol tanpa sekam, dan jumlah baris per tongkol. Data dianalisis menggunakan analisis varians (ANOVA), diikuti dengan uji Perbedaan Signifikan Terkecil (LSD) pada tingkat signifikansi 5%. Hasil menunjukkan bahwa aplikasi AMF tidak berpengaruh signifikan terhadap sebagian besar parameter pertumbuhan dan hasil panen. Namun, AMF secara signifikan mempengaruhi jumlah daun pada 2, 6, dan 8 minggu setelah tanam (WAP). Perlakuan D3 menghasilkan jumlah daun tertinggi pada 2 dan 6 WAP, sedangkan D1 menghasilkan jumlah daun tertinggi pada 8 WAP.

Deep Learning Approaches to Teaching And Learning: An Integrative Review from the Perspectives of Multiple Learning Theories

2026-10-12T09:32:22+00:00

The deep learning approach in education is a learning strategy oriented toward in-depth conceptual understanding, reflection, and integration of knowledge. This study aims to analyze the deep learning approach from the perspectives of multiple learning theories, namely behaviorism, cognitivism, humanism, and constructivism. The deep learning approach is considered relevant to addressing the challenges of twenty-first-century education because it emphasizes deep conceptual understanding, critical thinking skills, and learners’ active engagement in the learning process. However, the implementation of this approach is often not supported by a strong theoretical understanding. Therefore, this study employs a descriptive qualitative literature review method by analyzing various academic sources to identify the contributions of each learning theory to the deep learning approach. The findings indicate that behaviorism shapes purposeful learning behaviors; cognitivism provides a foundation for information-processing strategies and metacognition; humanism emphasizes the importance of intrinsic motivation, personal values, and individual growth; while constructivism supports active, collaborative, and contextualized learning. The synthesis of these four perspectives establishes a comprehensive conceptual foundation for developing transformative and holistic deep learning instructional designs. This study makes a significant conceptual contribution to the development of learning strategies that integrate behavioral, cognitive, affective, and social dimensions in a balanced manner.

Transforming Mathematics Education in the Era of Generative AI: From Problem Solving to AI-Supported Mathematical Reasoning

2026-10-12T09:41:06+00:00

The development of Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) has brought significant changes to mathematics education, particularly in problem-solving processes and mathematical reasoning. This study aims to analyze the transformation of GenAI utilization from an answer-generating tool into a facilitator of mathematical reasoning. The study employed a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) of relevant studies published between 2023 and 2026. The data were analyzed thematically to identify patterns of AI utilization, the role of AI in mathematical thinking processes, and the implications for mathematics education. The findings indicate that GenAI can be used not only to generate solutions but also to function as a cognitive scaffold by providing guiding questions, alternative strategies, feedback, error detection, and support for reflection. These findings suggest a shift from conventional problem solving toward AI-supported mathematical reasoning, in which learners remain the primary agents of their thinking processes while AI serves as a supportive tool. This transformation necessitates changes in teachers’ roles, instructional design, and assessment practices, with greater emphasis on mathematical reasoning, argumentation, verification, and reflection. Therefore, the integration of GenAI should be directed toward enhancing the quality of students’ mathematical reasoning rather than replacing their thinking processes.
