PERBANDINGAN JARAK EUCLIDEAN, CITYBLOCK, MINKOWSKI, CANBERRA, DAN CHEBYSHEV DALAM SISTEM TEMU KEMBALI CITRA BATIK

Batik is a highly valuable cultural heritage in Indonesia, showcasing a rich diversity of motifs with deep meaning and aesthetics. To enhance the accessibility and utilization of batik collections, an efficient image retrieval system is essential. This study compares distance measurement methods in a batik image retrieval system: Euclidean, Cityblock, Minkowski, Canberra, and Chebyshev, using a combination of color and texture features. The dataset comprises 50 types of batik images. The results show that the Cityblock method achieves the highest Mean Average Precision (MAP) of 97.71, followed by Canberra with MAP 96.87. The Euclidean method also performs well with a MAP of 94.56, while Minkowski and Chebyshev have lower MAP values of 92.93 and 90.89, respectively. Chebyshev experiences the largest MAP drop when images are rotated (5.98), while Cityblock demonstrates the best resistance to rotation with the smallest MAP drop (1.51). This research successfully developed a Content-Based Image Retrieval (CBIR) system with a GUI in MATLAB and suggests integrating the latest image processing and machine learning techniques for further enhancement.

Evaluating Mixed Reality Technology for Enhancing Art Pedagogy

The lack of interest among students in studying art, particularly the traditional Indonesian art form of batik, poses a significant challenge for educational institutions. Despite its cultural significance, the education sector lacks effective strategies to introduce and enhance students' interest in batik within the art curriculum. Several consequences can arise if the education sector fails to implement strategic measures to address this issue promptly.

Pancasila in National Curriculum: Political Education or Doctrination?

This article examines the operation of Pancasila, the Indonesian state ideology, in school courses in an Indonesian school in the Netherlands, “Sekolah Indonesia Den Haag” (SIDH). It aims to examine the way Pancasila is taught at SIDH, whether it functions as political education or political indoctrination. The study was conducted using qualitative data analysis, with data from interviews and field observations. The findings show that the way Pancasila is taught at SIDH is a dynamic process consisting of both cultural value and critical engagement to help students understand Indonesia's cultural heritage and instill national identity. The findings also indicate that Pancasila is taught as political education, predominantly relying on rote memorisation and prescribed textbooks, within the context of Dutch liberal cultural values. This leads to identity conflicts among the students. The findings in this study can inform policymaking in education and the formulation of curriculum. For example, to promote a more holistic understanding among students, we can foster critical thinking and open dialogue and encourage interdisciplinary exploration. Investing in teacher professional development may also facilitate meaningful teaching beyond nationalistic symbolism.
