Individu dapat mengembangkan pengetahuannya sendiri. Artinya adalah pengetahuan yang dimiliki oleh setiap individu dapat dibentuk oleh individu sendiri melalui interaksi dengan lingkungan yang terus-menerus dan selalu berubah. Dalam berinteraksi dengan lingkungan, individu mampu beradaptasi dan mengorganisasikan lingkungannya, sehingga terjadi perubahan dalam struktur kognitifnya, pengetahuan, wawasannya dan pemahamannya semakin berkembang. Individu juga mampu memodivikasi pengalaman yang diperoleh melalui lingkungan, sehingga melahirkan pengetahuan atau temuan-temuan baru. Oleh karena itu, proses pendidikan bukan hanya sekedar transfer of knowledge, tetapi juga bagaimana merangsang struktur kognitif inadividu mampu melahirkan pengetahuan dan temuan-temuan baru. Kedua, perlu adanya individualisasi dalam pembelajaran. Artinya, dalam proses pembelajaran, perlakuan terhadap individu harus didasarkan pada perkembangan kognitifnya. kunci keberhasilan dalam belajar terletak pada kebermaknaan bahan ajar yang diterima atau yang dipelajari oleh siswa. Dalam proses pembelajaran guru harus mampun memberikan sesuatu yang bermakna bagi siswa. Belajar dengan menghafal dan ceramah dapat menemukan sesuatu yang bermakna, asal dilakukan secara sistematis, menjelaskan dan menghubungkan antara konsep yang satu dengan konsep lainnya, menguhubungkan konsep yang baru dengan konsep yang telah dimiliki oleh siswa. Sebaliknya, belajar penemuan akan menjadi kurang bermakna, apa bila dilakukan dengan coba-coba dan tidak sistematis. Kedua, belajar bermakna akan berhasil apabila ada motivasi intrinsik dari dalam diri siswa. Dengan adanya motivasi intrinsik ini akan menumbuhkan minat dalam diri individu, dan menggerakkan individu untuk mempersiapkan diri untuk belajar, baik mempersiapkan diri secara fisik maupun psikis.

<em>Academic writing is currently a worldwide concern. A plethora of studies on academic writing difficulties in higher education has been conducted. With the advancement of technology, the challenges of academic writing can be alleviated by using Quillbot, an artificial intelligence (AI)-powered digital tool. However, research on using Quillbot in post-graduate academic writing classrooms is still limited, and little is known about how students perceive it. This study investigates how post-graduate students view Quillbot as a digital tool for English academic writing. This study employed a qualitative case study design by involving 20 post-graduate students majoring in English education who were already familiar with Quillbot to participate. In investigating the participants' perspectives, a questionnaire and semi-structured interview were used as the instruments for data collection. The findings reveal that the post-graduate students in this study responded positively to using Quillbot to assist them in improving the quality of their writing. Furthermore, the use of Quillbot was found to have three benefits: enhancing students' positive attitudes toward writing, providing a variety of user-friendly writing features, and aiding students' language development. This study implies that AI-powered technology like Quillbot in writing, particularly in academic writing, has a significant role in creating high-quality writing for students.</em>

This study aims to determine the impact of marginalization due to the Conversion of agricultural land in Ngringo Village and the multiple livelihood strategies farmworkers use for daily survival. This study uses phenomenology to investigate socio-economic marginalization caused by land conversion to farmworkers. Field data were collected by interview and analysis of the actions taken by the informants in their daily lives. The main reason for using a phenomenological approach in this study is the unique lifestyle of farmworkers in Ngringo Village. This study shows that the initial problem due to land conversion is economic difficulties, which causes landowners to sell their agricultural land to cover all the necessities of life and their children’s education costs. In addition, the narrower the farmland to be cultivated, the more excellent the opportunity for farmers to work outside the agricultural sector; One of them is a construction worker. With such conditions, farm labourers continue to work on agricultural land that has changed ownership to become a company or factory because of the consequences. They may lose their livelihood because the land is used to build factories and industries. Another way to survive is to work as a srabutan. This phenomenon is a form of economic morality owned by farmworkers in Ngringo Village.
