Analysis of The Implementation of The Merdeka Curriculum in Elementary Schools in The Transformation towards A Deep Learning Approach

Nia Anggita — 2025-10-22

This study aims to analyze the implementation of the Merdeka Curriculum (Kurikulum Merdeka) in elementary schools and the extent to which its application supports the transformation of learning toward a deep learning approach. The Merdeka Curriculum is designed to create flexible, contextual, and student-centered learning, while deep learning emphasizes the development of deep understanding, critical thinking, and reflection. This research employed a descriptive quantitative approach, using a questionnaire distributed to elementary school teachers via Google Form. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistical techniques in the form of percentages and mean achievement scores. The findings indicate that the implementation of the Merdeka Curriculum is in the high category, with most teachers demonstrating the application of deep learning strategies in their teaching practices. Teachers with longer teaching experience tend to achieve higher scores in both aspects. These results suggest a positive relationship between teaching experience and teachers' readiness to transform learning. Therefore, continuous training and pedagogical mentoring should be enhanced, particularly for teachers with shorter work experience, to ensure the equitable and effective implementation of both the Merdeka Curriculum and deep learning.

Origami Media for Teaching Islamic Cultural History: An Experimental Study in 9th Grade MTs Ma'arif Balong

Halida Umami — 2025-10-22

Islamic Cultural History (SKI) is a subject taught in Madrasahs to help students recognize, understand, and appreciate the values and legacy of Islamic civilization. However, in grade 9 at MTs Ma'arif Balong, student learning outcomes remain below expectations, with an average score of 65, which does not meet the Minimum Mastery Criteria (KKM) of 72. This study aims to examine the effectiveness of origami-based learning media in improving students' learning outcomes in SKI. A quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental design was employed, involving 54 students selected through cluster sampling. Data were collected through written tests and documentation, then analyzed using mean score comparison and the Mann-Whitney test with SPSS software. The results show a significant difference between the experimental and control groups. The experimental group, which used origami as a learning aid, achieved a mean rank of 85.18, while the control group achieved 59.62. The statistical analysis produced a significance value of 0.000 < 0.050, indicating a positive effect of the origami media. These findings suggest that incorporating origami into classroom instruction enhances student engagement, comprehension, and overall academic performance in SKI. The study recommends that teachers develop skills in designing creative instructional media, including origami, and that Madrasahs provide adequate learning materials and a supportive environment. Furthermore, future research is encouraged to investigate the long-term impact of origami-based learning on students' knowledge retention and motivation.

This study investigates the implementation of the Project-Based Learning (PJBL) model in accounting subjects at SMK Negeri 1 Klaten, particularly in the XI AKL class. The background of this research is the need for innovative learning models that enhance students' understanding of accounting through real-world experiences. The purpose of the study is to describe the stages of PjBL implementation and identify the challenges faced by teachers and students. A qualitative descriptive method was employed, with data collected through interviews, observations, and documentation. The findings show that the PjBL model was applied by assigning students to complete accounting cycle projects based on data from local service-based MSMEs. The learning process involved project planning, data collection through field visits, group discussions, and the preparation of financial reports. The model improved students' collaboration, critical thinking, and engagement. However, several obstacles were identified, including students' varying academic abilities, limited prior knowledge of accounting, and issues in group task distribution. It is recommended that future implementation be accompanied by strengthened guidance, differentiated support, and structured evaluation to maximize learning outcomes and prepare students for the professional world.

Unveiling Causal Complexity in Mathematics Achievement: A Research Design using Fuzzy-Set Qualitative Comparative Analysis (FS/QCA)

Gerry Filiestianto — 2025-10-22

Mathematics achievement is a critical indicator of educational success and a key determinant for future STEM careers. However, national assessments in Indonesia reveal persistent challenges and significant learning gaps in student numeracy. Existing research has identified a multitude of influencing factors, yet predominantly relies on linear models (e.g., regression, SEM) that estimate the 'net effect' of each variable in isolation. This approach overlooks the complex causal configurations where different factors interact synergistically. This paper addresses this methodological gap by proposing a research design that employs fuzzy-set Qualitative Comparative Analysis (fs/QCA). The study will utilize secondary data from the Indonesian National Assessment to analyze how combinations of school, family, and student-level conditions lead to high mathematics achievement. The expected contribution is the identification of multiple, distinct pathways-or 'causal recipes'-to success, offering a more nuanced foundation for developing targeted and context-specific educational policies.

Exploring The Need for Reflective Journal as Assessmentas-Learning in A Government LMS: A Study of BPOM Employees

Kiki Kurniati — 2025-10-22

The advancement of digital learning in government institutions calls for assessment models that go beyond summative testing and foster self-regulated learning. These preliminary needs analysis investigates the perceptions and learning needs of employees at the National Agency of Drug and Food Control (BPOM) regarding the development of a reflective journal as an assessment-as-learning feature within the LMS IDEAS. Using a quantitative approach, the study involved 85 active LMS users who responded to an online questionnaire. The results indicate that while current assessments such as pre- and post-tests are perceived as clear and relevant, they are considered insufficient in promoting key aspects of self-regulated learning- namely self-monitoring, evaluation, and adaptation. Respondents expressed strong needs for additional features such as personalized feedback, structured reflection tools, and mechanisms that connect learning with workplace practices. These findings suggest that integrating a reflective journal with guided prompts and flexible formats into the LMS has the potential to enhance autonomous learning and support continuous professional development among civil servants.

Disparities in Access and Sustainability in Inclusive Education Infrastructure in Indonesia

Fahmi Syarifudin — 2025-10-22

The present research explores the efforts of Indonesian schools to respond to the realities of inclusive education. Based on a qualitative case study design, data were drawn from interviews, observations, and document analysis in urban, suburban, and rural contexts. The study establishes inclusive education policies, but their operationalization within the schools is a significant issue. Accessibility provisions such as ramps and adjustable classrooms are found to be desirable. In many locations, inadequate teacher preparation often obstructs the effective implementation of assistive technologies. Moreover, most buildings are poorly maintained and experience a rapid quality decline. Teachers tend to acquire inclusive practice through experience and not formal training programs. Although parental involvement is increasing in urban settings, it remains shallow in rural settings. In some areas, schools are forced to get along with the hardships of inclusion on their own, frequently without much assistance from neighboring authorities. Lastly, this study stresses that real inclusion requires effort beyond the simple enactment of policies; it requires ongoing effort in teacher professionalization, well-thought-out infrastructure, more active community participation, and adaptive governance structures. The findings of this study provide valuable lessons on crafting more inclusive and supportive learning environments in Indonesia and elsewher.

The Application of Deep Learning in Fiqh Education: Creating Humanistic and Relevant Learning in The Digital Age

Abdul Azis — 2025-10-22

Teachers in fiqh education, in particular, still use a teacher-centered approach, where the teacher is the main figure in the teaching process. With this method, they rely solely on lectures and memorization as the dominant techniques. Several madrasah ibtidaiyyah teachers indicated that 72% of teachers only emphasize the cognitive aspect without involving deep meaning or value reflection. The research method used in this study is a qualitative approach with library research. Secondary data was obtained from various valid and relevant scientific literature, such as books on Islamic education theory, pedagogy, and reputable journal articles related to deep learning, fiqh education, and humanistic education. Data collection techniques involved identifying literature sources based on their relevance to the topic of fiqh education, while data analysis techniques used the Miles and Huberman method, which involves three stages: data reduction, data display, and drawing conclusions. The results of this study indicate that fiqh education through the deep learning approach emphasizes education that humanizes humanity. Through a deep learning approach, Islamic law is conveyed in a dialogical, inclusive, and tolerant manner, in accordance with the values of maqasid al-syari'ah and rahmatan lil-'alamin. Thus, the integration of deep learning in fiqh education can create a humanistic and relevant learning experience in the digital age. As the urgent need for fiqh education is to build an adaptive, critical, and humanistic Islamic education rooted in humanitarian values. Through this strategy, fiqh is not merely a subject to be memorized but also a source of ethics, spirituality, and policy that is alive in today's digital reality.

Atika Nur Yuniati — 2025-10-22

The implementation of the Pancasila Student Profile (PPP) in economic learning is an important part of realizing students with character and competitiveness. However, its implementation still faces challenges, especially during the initial transition period of the Independent Curriculum. This study aims to describe the implementation of the six dimensions of PPP in economic learning at SMAIT Al-Huda Wonogiri and identify the obstacles faced. This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach with data collection techniques through interviews, observations, and documentation. The resource persons for this research include a curriculum teacher, an economics teacher and three students. Data analysis used for data collection, data reduction, data presentation and conclusion drawn. The results of the study show that the six dimensions of PPP have been integrated in economic learning, including through thematic recitation, cross-cultural discussions, group work, independent tasks, innovative projects, and real-case problem-solving. However, the main obstacle lies in the lack of clarity of teachers' initial understanding of the PPP integration scheme and the lack of concrete outputs due to the focus on soft skills, not the academic aspect. In addition, students also experience difficulties in building critical reasoning skills. It is recommended that schools strengthen teacher training, provide clear technical guidance for PPP implementation, and develop contextual learning strategies that support the strengthening of soft skills on an ongoing basis.

Beyond Language: English Education in The Era of Advanced Learning

Isnaeni Sofiana — 2025-10-22

The rapid advance of developed education and learning systems has transformed the landscape of English education worldwide. Globalization, digitalization, and the increasing demand for 21st-century skills necessitate that English language teaching (ELT) move beyond traditional methods and adopt innovative pedagogical frameworks. In this context, English is not only a subject of study but also a key competency for global communication, academic achievement, and professional success. This paper examines the role of English education in advanced learning environments, highlighting critical issues such as the integration of digital platforms, the promotion of learner autonomy, the cultivation of critical thinking, and the incorporation of sustainability into language acquisition.Drawing on a mixed-methods approach that combines surveys, interviews, and classroom observations, the study investigates how students and teachers perceive the benefits and challenges of advanced learning practices in English classrooms. Findings reveal that digital tools such as Grammarly, Write & Improve, and other AI-based platforms play a significant role in enhancing language accuracy and learner motivation, yet they also risk fostering overdependence and reducing deeper engagement with language use. The paper argues that English education must strategically integrate technology, global competencies, and critical pedagogy to align with the goals of advanced learning. It concludes by offering recommendations for curriculum innovation, teacher professional development, and institutional support to foster sustainable and future-ready English education.

Tamansiswa and The Ethics of Non-Punitive Discipline: Reframing Punishment in Progressive Education

M Miftakhuddin — 2025-10-22

This article reconceptualizes Tamansiswa's among system as a theory-bearing model of non-punitive discipline that contributes to global progressive education. Drawing on a qualitative multiple-case study of two Tamansiswa primary schools, the article reanalyses empirical data from the author's master's thesis using ethics of care and critical pedagogy as complementary lenses. Findings demonstrate that Tamansiswa's rejection of punishment is philosophically grounded in respect for the child's kodrat alam and the cultivation of budi pekerti; that teachers as pamong exercise ethical authority through sustained relational presence, moral exemplarity, and individualized guidance; that discipline is reframed from obedience to moral autonomy and self-regulation via dialogical reflection and communal norms; and that among operates as a Southern Theory, offering a decolonial alternative to punitive, Eurocentric disciplinary paradigms. The analysis shows how care-based practices and anti-oppressive pedagogies cohere to produce agency and communal responsibility without coercion, and how indigenous ethical vocabularies can inform restorative and autonomy-supportive frameworks. Practical implications include reorienting teacher education toward relational competencies, embedding ethical frameworks within restorative policies, and recognizing local wisdom as a curricular resource. The study's bounded case design and reliance on secondary analysis limit claims of generalisability; future research should pursue comparative, longitudinal, and mixed-methods studies to evaluate scalability and outcomes. By foregrounding Tamansiswa as both a historical praxis and a contemporary, normative resource, the article advances an ethical and ideological reframing of punishment with theoretical and practical relevance for educators and policymakers globally. The findings invite policymakers to integrate culturally grounded ethics into national disciplinary frameworks urgently.

The Role of Social, Cultural, and Economic Environments in Determining Employment Opportunities for Vocational High School Graduates

Joko Budi Utomo — 2025-10-22

This study explores the role of social, cultural, and economic environments in determining employment opportunities for vocational high school graduates, with a case study at SMKN 1 Mondokan, Indonesia. Using a qualitative case study approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and documentation involving students, alumni, teachers, parents, and industry partners. The results show that the social environment, particularly family support, teacher guidance, and peer influence plays a significant role in shaping graduates' readiness and access to employment. Culturally, local values, societal norms, and school work culture influence graduates' career perceptions and decisions, often creating tension between vocational ideals and traditional community expectations. Economically, the financial condition of graduates' families and the limited availability of local job opportunities significantly impact employment outcomes. Many graduates are compelled to work outside their area of expertise due to economic pressures or the lack of industry-aligned opportunities. Furthermore, although the school has implemented vocational programs such as internships, teaching factories, and entrepreneurship education, collaboration with industry remains inconsistent and fragmented. The study concludes that enhancing employment prospects for vocational graduates requires a systemic integration of educational institutions, industry partnerships, family involvement, and culturally adaptive career guidance. The findings contribute to strengthening the link between vocational education and the labor market, especially in semi-rural settings.

Itang Enrico Pradana Mahardhika — 2025-10-22

This study analyzes the influence of the Ketarunaan extracurricular program on improving students’ punctuality at SMK Gula Rajawali, Kota Madiun. Punctuality is a fundamental aspect of character development that is essential for academic, social, and professional success. However, a lack of timeliness remains a persistent challenge in educational environments. The Ketarunaan program at this school is believed to hold significant potential in instilling discipline through its structured and distinctive activities. This research adopts a qualitative approach to explore how the implementation of the Ketarunaan program affects students' punctual behavior. The conceptual framework highlights three main mechanisms through which the program operates. First, the consistent practice of morning assemblies and marching routines trains students to arrive on time. Second, self-awareness training encourages students to understand the value of time and the consequences of indiscipline, fostering internal motivation. Third, a participatory approach and habituation across all Ketarunaan activities actively engage students, making them more motivated to comply with time-related rules. These three pillars synergistically contribute to the enhancement of students’ punctuality. This study aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the effectiveness of the Ketarunaan program as a strategy for strengthening time discipline and to offer valuable insights for the development of similar programs in other educational institutions.

The results of the study indicate that the integration of digital technology has a positive impact on learning effectiveness, increasing student participation, and efficiency of educational administration. In addition to pedagogical aspects, the success of digital transformation is greatly influenced by infrastructure readiness, educator competence, and school leadership and policies. The main challenge is found in the form of a digital divide between urban and 3T (underdeveloped, leading, and outermost) areas. This study offers a systemic approach to managing digital learning and suggests the need for cross-sector collaboration to create an adaptive, inclusive, and sustainable education ecosystem.

Strategies for Equalizing Educational Access and Social Justice for Underprivileged Communities in Indonesia

Yudha Suryanjaya Danurwendo — 2025-10-22

This study examines strategies for equalizing educational access and promoting social justice for underprivileged communities in Indonesia through a qualitative approach and a literature review method. The research background highlights disparities in educational access due to high costs, geographical inequalities, and weaknesses in the implementation of government assistance policies. The literature review involved 15 journal articles published between 2020-2024, covering themes such as educational inequality, affirmative policies, and the concept of social justice in education. Descriptive-qualitative analysis reveals that although programs such as KIP (Indonesia Smart Card) and BOS (School Operational Assistance) have been implemented, challenges in distribution and data verification continue to hinder equality. Proposed strategies include strengthening community-based affirmative programs, decentralizing assistance policies, integrating social-educational data, improving educational literacy, and fostering cross-institutional partnerships. The findings affirm that educational management models should be oriented toward distributive justice and inclusivity, enabling them to address the economic, cultural, and structural barriers faced by poor communities. This research is expected to contribute theoretically to the sociology of education and provide practical recommendations for policymakers to strengthen educational inclusion for vulnerable groups.

The Role of Parents in Internalizing Islamic Character based on Muhammadiyah Values of Ilmu Amaliah and Amal Ilmiah

Siti Fatika Alim — 2025-10-22

The Character education is a foundational element in shaping children's personality, particularly in the context of globalization where negative influences are prevalent. In Indonesia, Islamic character education rooted in religious values plays a crucial role in early childhood development. This study focuses on exploring the role of parents in the internalization of Islamic character values based on Muhammadiyah principles, especially Ilmu Amaliah (Practical Knowledge) and Amal Ilmiah (Scientific Practice), as implemented at Aisyiyah Unggulan Gemolong Elementary School. This study employed a qualitative descriptive approach. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with parents and teachers, participatory observation in school activities, and analysis of school documents. The data were then analyzed thematically to identify patterns of parental involvement and the integration of Muhammadiyah values in character education. The findings reveal that parental involvement takes multiple forms, including participation in parenting seminars, school committee meetings, use of communication books, and supervision of daily Islamic routines at home. The school supports this process through structured programs such as daily charity, social service activities, public speaking (khitobah), adhan training, and life skills development. A key component identified is the home visit program, which allows teachers to better understand students' home environments and foster deeper collaboration with families. The synergy between school and parents effectively promotes the internalization of Ilmu Amaliah (knowledge implemented in daily life) and Amal Ilmiah (action informed by reflective and scientific thinking).

The Role of School Culture and Climate in Creating A Conducive and Enjoyble Learning Environment

Muhammad Affan Baihaqi — 2025-10-22

School culture and climate are two fundamental pillars that interact in shaping the quality of the learning environment. Although these aspects have received attention in various educational policies, the implementation of school cultural values and the development of a healthy school climate still face several challenges, such as bureaucratic dominance, resistance to change, and the limited socio-emotional competencies of educators. This study aims to explore in depth the role of school culture and climate in creating a conducive and enjoyable learning environment for students in Indonesia. This research employs a descriptive qualitative approach using a literature review method. Data were collected through a systematic review of relevant national sources, including scholarly books, accredited journal articles, and official policy documents published in the last ten years. The data were analyzed thematically and critically to examine the relationship between school culture, school climate, and the quality of the learning environment. The findings indicate that a school culture that upholds values of collaboration, openness, and appreciation for diversity contributes to a school climate that supports students’ psychological well-being and active engagement in learning. Conversely, a school culture that is closed, authoritarian, and bureaucratic tends to create a rigid and pressuring learning climate. Therefore, synergy between school culture and climate is a strategic key to establishing an effective, enjoyable, and meaningful learning process.

Optimizing The Marketing of Private School Educational Services through Local Wisdom Approaches

Yudha Suryanjaya Danurwendo — 2025-10-22

This study aims to examine strategies for optimizing the marketing of educational services in private schools through a local wisdom-based approach. Educational service marketing is one of the key factors determining the success of private schools in attracting public interest, increasing student enrollment, and sustaining their existence amid increasingly competitive conditions. However, most marketing strategies implemented thus far tend to rely primarily on modern approaches such as the use of social media, formal branding, and technology-based innovations, without adequately considering the potential of local cultural values within the school's environment. In fact, local wisdom can serve as a unique competitive advantage and as a distinctive identity of the school in the eyes of the community. This study employs a qualitative method with a literature review approach, conducted through the exploration and analysis of scholarly articles, books, and research reports published within the past five years (2020-2025). The findings reveal that integrating local wisdom values into school marketing strategies can strengthen the school's positive image, enhance public trust, and foster stronger emotional connections between schools and their surrounding communities. Local values promoted through school marketing, educational programs, and services are shown to be more easily accepted by the community, as they align with prevailing cultural norms. Therefore, private schools need to formulate marketing strategies that are not only adaptive to contemporary developments but also contextualized with the local wisdom of their surrounding communities. This study is expected to provide theoretical contributions to the development of educational management literature as well as practical references for school administrators in designing relevant and effective marketing strategies.

Schools as Value Communities in Shaping Students' Personalities and Culture

Wafa Taqiyya — 2025-10-22

The phenomenon of declining student character, such as increasing intolerant behavior, weak social responsibility, and the fading value of honesty in the school environment indicates a value crisis that requires a new approach to character education. Most previous research still focuses on instructional-based character education, without a holistic view of the school's function as a value community. This study aims to analyze the role of schools as value communities in shaping students' personalities and culture. This study uses a qualitative approach with library research methods. Relevant scientific sources are analyzed to identify the main dimensions of value communities and their contribution to student character formation. The results of the study indicate that schools that fulfill their role as value communities are able to create social systems that support the internalization of values such as honesty, responsibility, collaboration, tolerance, and respect for local culture. The process of value formation occurs through teacher role models, meaningful social interactions, and consistent school policies and culture. This research provides theoretical and practical contributions in expanding the paradigm of character education from a cognitive-formal approach to an ecological, contextual, and transformative approach through the formation of schools as value communities.

The Role of Character Education in Shaping The Personality of Generation Z Students

Lukie Masayu Andayanie — 2025-10-22

The digital era has given rise to Generation Z, a cohort characterized by high technological dependency, rapid information access, and a tendency toward individualism. These traits pose significant challenges in the development of student personality. This study aims to analyze the role of character education in shaping the personality of Generation Z students, to identify supporting and inhibiting factors in its implementation, and to evaluate the effectiveness of character education strategies applied in schools.

Effective strategies identified include the habituation of character values in daily school life, reinforcement through extracurricular activities, and integration of the Pancasila Student Profile program. These findings affirm that contextual and sustainable character education can positively and adaptively shape the personality of Generation Z students in the face of rapid societal change.

The Role of Social, Cultural, and Economic Environments in Determining Employment Opportunities for Vocational High School Graduates

Joko Budi Utomo — 2025-10-22

This study explores the role of social, cultural, and economic environments in determining employment opportunities for vocational high school graduates, with a case study at SMKN 1 Mondokan, Indonesia. Using a qualitative case study approach, data were collected through indepth interviews, participant observation, and documentation involving students, alumni, teachers, parents, and industry partners. The results show that the social environment, particularly family support, teacher guidance, and peer influence plays a significant role in shaping graduates' readiness and access to employment. Culturally, local values, societal norms, and school work culture influence graduates' career perceptions and decisions, often creating tension between vocational ideals and traditional community expectations. Economically, the financial condition of graduates' families and the limited availability of local job opportunities significantly impact employment outcomes. Many graduates are compelled to work outside their area of expertise due to economic pressures or the lack of industry-aligned opportunities. Furthermore, although the school has implemented vocational programs such as internships, teaching factories, and entrepreneurship education, collaboration with industry remains inconsistent and fragmented. The study concludes that enhancing employment prospects for vocational graduates requires a systemic integration of educational institutions, industry partnerships, family involvement, and culturally adaptive career guidance. The findings contribute to strengthening the link between vocational education and the labor market, especially in semi-rural settings.

Parental Participation and Family Support on Student Learning Outcomes

Halida Novi Wibawati — 2025-10-22

This study aims to analyze the influence of parental involvement and family support on students' academic achievement. The background of the research is rooted in the phenomenon of declining student performance, which is not solely caused by internal factors, but also by external influences, particularly from the family environment. The research employed a quantitative approach using a correlational survey method. The sample consisted of 11th-grade students and their parents at SMA Islam Al Azhar 7 Solobaru, selected through stratified random sampling. Data were collected using a Likert-scale questionnaire to measure the level of parental involvement, types of family support, and students' academic outcomes, which were assessed through report card scores. The statistical analysis revealed a significant and positive correlation between parental involvement and students' academic achievement (r = 0.642; p < 0.01), as well as between family support and academic achievement (r = 0.599; p < 0.01). Multiple linear regression analysis showed that both variables simultaneously contributed 51.2% to student academic outcomes. These findings indicate that higher levels of parental engagement and stronger family support positively influence student learning outcomes. The results suggest a need for strengthened collaboration between schools and families as a strategic effort to improve educational quality.

Reading The Public Pulse: Sentiment Analysis of Overclaim Crisis in Indonesia

Estri Khidmatul Husniyah — 2025-10-22

The objective of this study is to analyze public sentiment regarding two local beauty brands in Indonesia, Azarine and The Originote, which were involved in an overclaim crisis on social media. The primary objective of this study is to ascertain the distribution of positive, negative, and neutral sentiments. Additionally, it seeks to elucidate how these sentiment patterns are influenced by the crisis communication strategies implemented by each brand during and after the crisis. A descriptive quantitative method employing sentiment analysis was utilized to collect data from user comments on Instagram and TikTok during the crisis period. The findings indicate that The Originote is more likely to elicit a higher proportion of positive sentiments in comparison to Azarine, a discrepancy attributable to The Originote's strategic emphasis on transparency, acknowledgment of missteps, and dedication to ongoing enhancement. In contrast, Azarine exhibits a diminished prevalence of positive sentiment, signifying a potential for persuasion among audiences who have not yet formed a definitive opinion. These findings indicate that brand response patterns directly influence public sentiment distribution, which in turn affects post-crisis image recovery. This study offers practical implications for local brands to integrate crisis mitigation strategies with proactive public sentiment management. It also opens avenues for further research on the relationship between sentiment intensity and consumer loyalty in the beauty industry.

The Effect of Technopreneurial Self-Efficacy on Technopreneurship Intention: The Moderating Role of Technopreneurial Motivation

Farma Ladia Saady — 2025-10-22

This study examines the effect of technopreneurial self-efficacy (TSE) on technopreneurship intention (TI) among non-engineering university students, with technopreneurial motivation (TM) as a moderating variable. Grounded in the Theory of Planned Behavior, TSE reflects perceived behavioral control, while TM functions as a motivational driver that can strengthen intention formation. A quantitative survey was conducted with 224 non-engineering undergraduates at Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia who had completed at least one entrepreneurship-related course. Data were collected via an online questionnaire using validated measurement scales and analyzed through Partial Least Squares-Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). The results reveal that TSE has a significant positive effect on TI (p < 0.001), TM positively influences TI (p < 0.001), and TM significantly moderates the TSE-TI relationship (p = 0.014), although with a small effect size. The model accounts for 65.9% of the variance in TI, emphasizing the combined influence of capability beliefs and motivational forces on technopreneurial intentions. These findings extend the Theory of Planned Behavior by integrating a motivational construct into the prediction of technology-based entrepreneurial intention, particularly within the underexplored context of non-technical students. The study recommends that higher education institutions adopt integrative interventions—such as experiential learning, mentoring, and digital business simulations—to concurrently strengthen self-efficacy and nurture intrinsic motivation, thereby fostering a more inclusive and innovative technopreneurship ecosystem.

Ahmad Asad Amany — 2025-10-22

This research aims to explore how factors like product, price, promotion, and place influence the buying decisions of students at coffee shops near Universitas Muhammadiyah Surakarta. Using a quantitative approach, the study features an associative and cross-sectional design. The participants were students who frequented these coffee shops, with a sample size of 100 respondents gathered through volunteer sampling. Data collection was carried out by distributing online surveys via Google Forms, employing a Likert scale for measurement. The research tool was assessed for both validity and reliability, showing that all items had a validity score above 0.30, and Cronbach's Alpha reliability was an impressive 0.928, indicating very high consistency. For data analysis, multiple linear regression was used to evaluate both the combined and individual effects of the independent variables (product, price, promotion, place) on the dependent variable (purchase decision). The results revealed that all four independent variables significantly impact student purchasing decisions (p < 0.05; R² = 0.741). Specifically, the promotion (X4) and place (X3) variables had a notable effect (p < 0.05), while price (X2) and product (X1) did not show significant effects (p > 0.05). This indicates that factors like location convenience and effective promotions play a more crucial role in shaping students' buying choices than product and price. Therefore, it’s recommended that coffee shop owners focus on improving location accessibility and marketing strategies to attract and retain customers, especially students.

Khofifa Najma Iftitah — 2025-10-22

This study aims to synthesize recent findings on the use of Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) in teacher-driven personalized learning in K-12 education. This review uses the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method with the PRISMA 2020 guidelines, searching the Scopus database for the year 2025. The search strategy employs a combination of keywords covering aspects of GenAI, personalized learning, the K-12 context, and the role of teachers. Out of 319 articles identified, 34 met the inclusion criteria and were analyzed thematically to address three research questions: (1) the forms of GenAI utilization for personalized learning in K-12, (2) the role and strategies of teachers in designing, implementing,and (3) the enabling and hindering factors of implementation. The study findings indicate that GenAI is utilized to generate adaptive learning materials, provide interactive virtual tutors, facilitate adaptive assessments, and create contextual learning simulations. Teachers' roles include learning designers, facilitators, evaluators, and developers of students' AI literacy, with strategies such as prompt engineering, LMS integration, and performance-based assessments. Supporting factors include infrastructure availability, teacher training, clear policies, and platform integration; while barriers include low teacher readiness, digital divides, ethical concerns, and limitations in adapting local content. This study highlights the novelty of a teacher-centered perspective and the synthesis of pedagogical strategies with the potential of GenAI technology, recommending practice-based training, ethical policies, infrastructure equity, and the integration of AI literacy into the curriculum.

Community-based Stem Ecosystem in Indonesian Muslim Communities

Indri Ajeng Setyoningrum — 2025-10-22

This study aims to formulate a model of a community-based STEM innovation ecosystem within the context of non-formal education in Indonesian Muslim communities. The background of this review is rooted in the limited access to relevant STEM education for Muslim communities, particularly in rural and peri-urban areas, alongside the substantial potential of Islamic non-formal educational institutions-such as Islamic boarding schools (pesantren), Qur'anic learning centers (TPA), and Islamic study groups (majelis taklim)-to serve as venues for contextual learning. The research employed a literature review of over 50 sources-including peer-reviewed journals, academic books, policy documents, and research reports-analyzed thematically and critically. The analysis process involved thematic coding, conceptual synthesis, critical evaluation, and the construction of a conceptual model. Findings indicate that an effective STEM innovation ecosystem requires six key components: (1) community-based learning environments, (2) local actors serving as facilitators, (3) contextual curricula integrated with Islamic values, (4) project-based learning methods, (5) accessible low-tech support, and (6) strategic partnerships with external stakeholders. This model is holistic and participatory, aligning with the social, cultural, and spiritual characteristics of Muslim communities. The findings provide a conceptual contribution to value-driven, locally grounded non-formal education innovations and offer insights for more responsive policy and practical frameworks. The study recommends capacity-building for facilitators, adaptive curriculum development, and strengthened multi-sectoral collaboration as strategic measures for the sustainable implementation of the model.

Constructing and Validating A Contextual Grit Scale for University Students in Indonesia: A Psychometric Study

Muhamad Syamsul Hayat — 2025-10-22

This study aims to develop and evaluate the psychometric properties of a grit measurement instrument for university students in Indonesia, with a specific focus on the Bandung region. The theoretical framework conceptualized grit as comprising two core dimensions: perseverance of effort and consistency of interest. Thirty-two items were initially developed based on seven behavioral indicators and evaluated through expert judgment, language clarity tests, and item discrimination analysis. After a series of empirical tests involving 100 students for the tryout, 200 for the field test, and 40 for the test-retest, 14 items were retained based on reliability and validity criteria. Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) supported the two-dimensional model with acceptable goodness-of-fit indices (RMSEA = 0.032, CFI = 0.977, TLI = 0.964, SRMR = 0.044). Internal consistency reliability was satisfactory (Cronbach's α = 0.790), and test- retest results demonstrated high temporal stability (r = 0.953, p < .001). These findings indicate that the developed grit scale is a valid and reliable instrument for assessing grit among Indonesian university students and can be applied in educational psychology research and interventions.
