Background. Digital vlogs offer multimodal narrative spaces combining visual, auditory, and reflective elements, yet existing research has not systematically examined how vlogs function as learning narratives or their specific influence on multidimensional student engagement over time. Purpose. This qualitative case study investigated how digital vlogs operate as learning narratives and influence behavioral, emotional, and cognitive dimensions of student engagement in online learning environments, guided by the Community of Inquiry framework and narrative learning theory. Method. Eighteen undergraduate students enrolled in an online educational psychology course participated in semester-long data collection involving seven vlog submissions, three-point semi structured interviews, reflective journals, and artifact analysis. Results. Findings reveal progressive engagement development with vlog length increasing from 3.2 to 5.7 minutes, reflective depth scores rising from 2.8 to 4.3, and narrative elements increasing from 68% to 89%. Three primary themes emerged: narrative ownership (94% of participants), multimodal expression (83%), and social presence (78%). Conclusion. The study's novelty lies in demonstrating that asynchronous video narratives generate authentic social presence and in integrating narrative learning theory with the Community of Inquiry framework, providing educators with conceptual tools for designing engagement-focused online learning experiences.

Abstract

Background. Defending the nation inherently entails fostering community resilience, and the national security architecture requires local stability to serve as the first firewall of defense. Education in border regions must be regarded as a strategic instrument capable of developing human capital and social capital in an integrated manner, with local wisdom as its primary foundation. Purpose. This conceptual study aims to formulate a local wisdom-based educational model that integratively develops human capital and social capital in order to reinforce community defense capacity in the Kalimantan border region. Methods. A systematic literature synthesis was conducted using nationally accredited journals (SINTA 2 and above), Scopus-indexed international journals, scholarly books, and official government documents published between 2020 and 2026. From 86 initially gathered works, 52 core texts were selected based on relevance to the integration of human capital, social capital, and local wisdom within border education and defense. Data were analyzed using qualitative content analysis through repeated reading, coding, thematic grouping, and analysis of inter-theme relationships. Results and Discussion. The synthesis revealed three main intertwined themes: human capital development through border education (knowledge, skills, character), strengthening social capital as a community resilience network (bonding, bridging, linking), and Kalimantan's local wisdom (huma betang, gotong royong, musyawarah adat) as the pedagogical-ideological foundation. Conclusion. The proposed model provides a theoretical basis for further empirical testing and practical guidance for local governments, the Indonesian National Armed Forces (TNI), and customary institutions in designing culturally grounded educational programs for border areas.
