ANALISIS KEMAMPUAN LITERASI BACA TULIS SISWA SEKOLAH DASAR TERHADAP PENERAPAN KURIKULUM MERDEKA

This study aims to evaluate the reading and writing literacy levels of elementary school students and to assess the extent to which the Independent Curriculum contributes to improving literacy in Gunungkidul Regency, located in the Special Region of Yogyakarta. This region is predominantly rural and faces challenges related to limited access and inadequate educational facilities. The lack of educational resources—such as quality reading materials, proper libraries, and technological infrastructure—poses a major obstacle to enhancing student literacy. The research employs a quantitative approach to analyze numerical data, emphasizing standardized data collection methods and utilizing statistical analysis to test hypotheses. This approach is intended to provide a comprehensive understanding of students' reading and writing literacy skills. The findings reveal that the implementation of the Independent Curriculum in elementary schools across the Gunungkidul area has not yet produced a significant impact on improving students' literacy skills. This is evident from the average test scores, which remain below the Minimum Completion Criteria (MCC) set by the schools: 65.6 in the control group and 61.4 in the experimental group. Therefore, it can be concluded that the reading and writing literacy levels of elementary school students in the region remain relatively low

Urban-Rural Disparities in Smoking Prevalence, Consumption, and Indoor Smoking Habits Among Older Adults in Indonesia

Smoking is a major public health concern worldwide and is a leading cause of preventable morbidity and mortality. In Indonesia, smoking rates are among the highest globally; however, little is known about smoking behavior among older adults, particularly across rural and urban settings. This study aimed to examine the prevalence of smoking and its associated factors among older adults in Indonesia, focusing on demographic, socioeconomic, and geographic disparities. A cross-sectional analysis was conducted using data from the Indonesian Health Survey (SKI) 2023, which included 97,339 participants aged 60 years and older. A multi-stage stratified cluster sampling method was employed to ensure representativeness. Smoking behavior, cigarette consumption, and indoor smoking practices were analyzed alongside demographic variables, such as age, sex, education level, marital status, work status, and region. Descriptive statistics and chi-square tests were used, with adjustments for the complex survey design using STATA 15.1. The overall smoking prevalence was 30.98%, with a higher rate in urban areas (17.77%) than in rural areas (13.21%). Daily cigarette consumption was more common than weekly smoking, and 76.23% of smokers reported smoking indoors. Smoking was significantly associated with a lower educational level, employments status, and marital status. Urban residents showed a higher smoking prevalence and consumption pattern than rural residents. This study highlights disparities in smoking behavior among older adults in Indonesia, emphasizing the need for targeted public health interventions.
