Abstract

This qualitative content analysis examines gender representation in Indonesian government-mandated English Language Teaching (ELT) textbooks for primary schools to assess alignment between national gender equality policies and pedagogical materials. Findings reveal significant divergence from international norms. Character distribution showed female predominance (57% vs. 43% male) with female protagonist, reversing typical 60-70% male dominance documented in ELT materials globally. Linguistic analysis demonstrated balanced pronoun usage (48% masculine, 52% feminine) with zero generic masculine, male-first ordering, or gendered adjectives. Activity representation showed minimal stereotyping with counter-stereotypical examples, though limited to domestic and school contexts. Occupational representation proved critically limited, depicting only one professional role (male teacher), creating symbolic void in career diversity exposure. The textbook successfully translates Kurikulum Merdeka gender equality policies into content, achieving neutrality through bias elimination but not transformation through active norm challenge. The results place this material at the top of the global ELT textbook rankings for linguistic visibility and equality, while exposing the ongoing employment gap. Findings demonstrate compatibility between Islamic values and gender equality, contradicting assumptions about cultural barriers in Muslim-majority contexts. The occupational void represents critical intervention point during formative developmental years. Study contributes empirical evidence of policy-to-practice translation success and identifies actionable pathways for Indonesian educational material improvement.

Abstract

This study examines oil and gas exploration and natural gas processing activities in the Sorong Raya region, Southwest Papua, Indonesia, particularly in Salawati Basin and Kasim Marine Terminal. The research explores how eco-theological perspectives derived from Islam, Christianity, and indigenous Papuan ecological values contribute to balancing environmental sustainability, economic welfare, and industrial development in one of Indonesia’s strategic energy regions. Previous studies on extractive industries in Papua have mainly emphasized political economy, environmental conflict, and resource governance, while limited attention has been given to ecotheology as an ethical framework integrating religious morality, indigenous ecological wisdom, and sustainable development. This study employed a qualitative phenomenological approach involving 15 participants, including indigenous Papuan communities, oil/gas workers, government officials, religious leaders, and civil society representatives. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, field observations, and document analysis. The findings show that the oil and gas sector contributes to regional income, employment, infrastructure, education, and local economic growth. However, respondents also identified environmental challenges, including marine pollution, ecological degradation, unequal economic distribution, and reduced customary access to natural resources. The study concludes that eco-theological and indigenous ecological values provide important ethical foundations for participatory, transparent, and culturally inclusive environmental governance in Sorong Raya.
