“…Regarding gender awareness, medical university students exposed to the integration of the gender perspective into literature studies had significantly greater gender awareness in terms of “public gender consciousness” and “private gender consciousness.” Based on the post-test results of the Gender Awareness Scale, it can be demonstrated that following gender perspective training, experimental group students were able to read literary texts from the gender perspective regarding social gender and gender norms. Shifting to the gender lens to interpret literary texts, the students began to question whether socially constructed gender prescriptions attempt to force women into the fulfilling the expectations of others [ 22 , 35 ]. Furthermore, with gender consciousness, students can reflect on their own genders (bring male or male), further realizing that socially constructed gender norms attempt to force women into being submissive and nurture and men as assertive and dominating as a means to maintain the stability of the patriarchal system [ 4 , 8 , 9 , 20 ].…”

“…While literature studies can be used for entertainment or as a means to introduce conduct books to discipline women in the hierarchy system [ 4 , 21 ], literature studies may have another function to expose readers to literary texts regarding social gender and morality [ 22 ], allowing them to step back from gender issues and to critically reflect upon socially constructed gender norms. Therefore, while following the plot, readers may identify with the oppressed characters, especially suffering females, and develop greater empathy toward those suffering [ 23 ].…”

Objective: This study attempted to integrate the gender perspective into literature studies to allow medical university students to examine internalized gender prescriptions and investigate whether the integration of the gender perspective into literature studies would create any difference among students in gender awareness and critical thinking. Methods: This study used fifteen-week quasi-experimental research to verify the feasibility of using the gender perspective in literature studies to arouse medical university students’ gender awareness and critical thinking. Before and after the intervention, a gender awareness test and a critical thinking disposition test were carried out by both the experimental group (41 students) and control group (41 students). Results: The findings show that regarding gender awareness, with the integration of the gender perspective into literature studies, medical university students had significantly higher post-test scores for “public gender consciousness” and “private gender consciousness.” In regard to critical thinking, they also had significantly better post-test scores in “systematicity and analyticity,” “maturity and skepticism,” and “inquisitiveness and conversance.” Conclusion: This study demonstrated that the integration of the gender perspective into literature studies could result in positive learning outcomes among medical university students in terms of gender awareness and critical thinking.

“…It is important to find resources that will provide substance in developing a theory. Thus, looking through the various published articles and researches is the second step that a theorist must importantly ponder (Selden, 2016). In this phase, the phenomenon of interest can be tackled, extensively elaborate the gist, and expansively discuss the relevant information to expand the phenomenon's information base (Bennett & Royle, 2016).…”

Intercultural Communication Competence is essential in creating healthy relations and prevent conflict across numerous cultures. It also emphasizes the essence of accurate and proper information transmission among people. This study aimed to analyze existing literature and derive the perfect formula for learners to develop their Intercultural Communication Competence. A theory on Intercultural Communication Competence was generated using the deductive axiomatic approach. After the analysis and synthesis of related literature and studies, twelve axioms were formulated. From there, four propositions were identified: (1) Intercultural Communication Competence entails cultural actualization; (2) Intercultural Communication Competence calls for a comprehensive curriculum and assessment; (3) Digitalization boosts Intercultural Communication Competence; (4) Upskilled instructors are confident in refining learners’ Intercultural Communication Competence. With these propositions, the Interdependent Theory of Intercultural Communication Competence was generated. This theory highlights the importance of the interdependence among cultural actualization, comprehensive curriculum, digitalization, and upskilled instructors in realizing the full potential of Intercultural Communication Competence of learners.

“…Thus, it is expected to bring up people's interest in reading both of their own volition or the support of parents and surrounding communities. Reading fondness that has been formed later will bring up the reading culture (Selden, 2016).…”

TBM is more accurately called a reading facility in the middle of the community (community-based library) and is managed simply, and independently by the community concerned. This action research aims to (1) describe the management pattern of Community Reading Gardens as part of Omah Passionaon empowerment programs; (2) Explain the optimization of TBM management in its efforts to improve reading culture. Action research with a focus on optimizing TBM management is carried out using a diagnosis, planning, implementing action and evaluation model with Omah Passinaon managers as research subjects. Data or information is collected by interviewing techniques such as FGDs, observations on aspects of program management, activities to obtain a comprehensive picture of the potential, problems, needs for improvement and forms of action to optimize TBM management. The results of this study indicate that (1) TBM management emphasizes the competence of capable and skilled managers in building public awareness of the importance of reading culture, as well as the realization of TBM that has community appeal as a source of information in Bejiharjo tourism area. (2) Actions for optimizing TBM management in research include (a) Raising public awareness of reading fondness at Omah Passionaon, (b) partnerships with academics, universities, and private parties, (c) mentoring for pioneering TBMs that attract public interest in reading, (d) evaluation. TBM management can be effective must have partnerships from private or government institutions, besides that the manager also has good competence. The benefit of this research is to provide awareness to the community to read and motivation for TBM managers to seek partnerships with private and government institutions.
