Strength perspective mengarahkan pada pandangan bahawa bahwa setiap orang, kelompok atau masyarakat sesungguhnya memiliki sumber kekuatan, baik yang bersumber pada diri sendiri maupun lingkungan sekitar mereka. Pandangan ini dapat memandu setiap diri manusia, kelompok, organisasi, masyarakat; atau entitas sosial, ekonomi, dan budaya lainnya yang dengan sisi positifnya semestinya menjadi modal utama untuk mandiri, maju dan berkembang. Demikian pula dalam memetakan usaha mikro di perdesaan, dimana perpektif kekuatan berkaitan erat dengan pemberdayaan atau keberdayaan (empowered) usaha tersebut. Selain sumber-sumber potensial lainnya, seperti aset-aset fisik, ekonomi, dan budaya; perspektif ini menekankan perlunya pemanfaatan aset-aset sosial (social capital) potensial di masyarakat. Pandangan kekuatan (strength perspective) merupakan salah alternative upaya memetakan potensi usaha mikro-kecil di desa, agar hasilnya lebih positif dan fair. Banyak usaha kecil dan mikro yang tetap bertahan hingga kini, membuktikan bahwa mereka memiliki kekuatan. Lalu apa yang menjadi sumber kekuatan mereka, hingga dapat survive di tengah perubahan sosial dan teknologi informasi yang begitu cepat. Namun demikian, perubahan sosial dan kemajuan teknologi saat ini pun semestinya dapat berdampak positif bagi perkembangan usaha mereka. Artikel ini berupaya untuk menggambarkan dan menjelaskan bagaimana pandangan berbasis kekuatan (strength perspective) dalam memetakan potensi usaha mikro-kecil di desa, sebagai salah satu alternatif. Kajian dalam artikel ini dilandasi oleh pemikiran bahwa sesungguhnya setiap pelaku usaha mikro-kecil di desa memiliki kekuatan berikut dengan ragam sumber dan potensinya. Beragam sumber dan potensi tersebut bisa disadari atau pun tidak oleh pelaku usaha mikro-kecil (UMK) tersebut. Strength perspective leads to the view that every person, group or community actually has a source of strength, both originating from themselves and the environment around them. This view can guide every human being, group, organization, society; or other social, economic, and cultural entities that on the positive side should be the main capital to be independent, advanced and developing. Likewise in mapping microbusinesses in rural areas, where the strength perspective is closely related to empowering or empowering the business. In addition to other potential sources, such as physical, economic and cultural assets; This perspective emphasizes the need to utilize potential social assets in the community. The strength perspective is an alternative effort to map the potential of micro-small businesses in the village, so that the results are more positive and fair. Many small and micro businesses that have survived until now, prove that they have strength. Then what is the source of their strength, so they can survive in the midst of social change and information technology so fast. However, current social changes and technological advances should have a positive impact on the development of their businesses. This article seeks to describe and explain how a strength based perspective in mapping the potential of micro-small businesses in the village, as an alternative. The study in this article is based on the idea that every micro-small business actor in the village has the following strengths with various sources and potentials.

This article reviews Dr. Carla España and Dr. Luz Yadira Herrera’s En Comunidad: Lessons for Centering the Voices of Experiences of Bilingual Latinx Students. Though a critical bilingual literacies approach, the language practices, experiences and cultural histories of Latinx students are centered for literacy instruction in grades 3-8. Before instruction begins, the authors support educational practitioners in creating equitable educational and language stances that hold students’ language practices in a strength perspective. Each chapter that follows details and explains a thematic unit of student that guides educators in creating lessons based on students’ experiences and are summarized within this review. Supports for incorporating translanguaging pedagogies are also provided. Guiding questions, bilingual texts, and alternative themes are included to fit the language model of any program serving multilingual Latinx learners. Suggestions for extending these units of study and practices into secondary classrooms and for other language and racial ethnic groups are also discussed.

Previous work has reliably demonstrated that when people experience more subjective ambivalence about an attitude object, their attitudes have less impact on strength-related outcomes such as attitude-related thinking, judging, or behaving. However, previous research has not considered whether the amount of perceived knowledge a person has about the topic might moderate these effects. Across eight studies on different topics using a variety of outcome measures, the current research demonstrates that perceived knowledge can moderate the relation between ambivalence and the impact of attitudes on related thinking, judging, and behaving. Although the typical Attitude × Ambivalence effect emerged when participants had relatively high perceived knowledge, this interaction did not emerge when participants were lower in perceived knowledge. This work provides a more nuanced view of the effects of subjective ambivalence on attitude impact and highlights the importance of understanding the combined impact of attitude strength antecedents.
