Abstract

The rapid expansion of lifelong and hybrid learning ecosystems has amplified the need for secure, verifiable, and portable academic credentials. Conventional credentialing systems are prone to data breaches, document forgery, and verification delays, which compromise institutional integrity and learner mobility. Blockchain technology offers a decentralized solution for issuing and validating tamper-proof digital credentials that ensure data immutability, transparency, and learner ownership. This study aims to design and evaluate a blockchain-based credentialing framework integrated within a lifelong hybrid learning system, providing a secure, interoperable, and scalable model for educational institutions. The research employed a design-based approach combining system architecture modeling and pilot testing in three Indonesian universities. Data were collected through usability testing, stakeholder interviews, and system performance metrics. The findings revealed that the blockchain credentialing model enhanced verification efficiency by 63%, reduced administrative errors by 41%, and improved trust perception among employers and learners. The smart contract mechanism automated credential issuance, while decentralized verification protocols ensured authenticity without reliance on centralized databases. The results confirm that blockchain-based digital credentials can strengthen academic credibility and facilitate global recognition of hybrid learning achievements. The study concludes that blockchain integration in education not only promotes transparency and trust but also aligns with the principles of lifelong learning and digital sovereignty. Future implementations should explore interoperability across cross-border educational systems and adaptive governance models for data privacy and regulatory compliance.

Abstract

The integration of play-based learning into hybrid education models for early childhood has become increasingly relevant in post-pandemic Indonesia, where digital adaptation and parental involvement define the quality of kindergarten learning experiences. The research addresses the growing need to design a pedagogically sound and culturally adaptive hybrid learning model that preserves the playfulness essential to early education while leveraging digital tools for continuity and engagement. The study aims to explore the challenges and opportunities of developing a play-based hybrid model that fosters active parental participation and supports children’s socio-emotional and cognitive growth. A qualitative case study design was employed, involving 30 teachers and 50 parents from three kindergartens in West Java. Data were collected through classroom observations, parental interviews, and teacher focus group discussions, analyzed using thematic coding and triangulation to ensure reliability. Findings revealed that while teachers effectively integrated digital play platforms and storytelling sessions, parental engagement varied due to differing levels of digital literacy and home-learning readiness. The study also identified that hybrid play-based activities significantly enhanced children’s motivation and collaborative behavior when parents acted as co-facilitators rather than supervisors. The research concludes that successful hybrid play-based learning in Indonesian kindergartens depends on balanced collaboration between educators, parents, and digital tools. Strengthening parental digital competence and providing structured guidance for home-based play activities can transform hybrid learning into an inclusive, joyful, and developmentally appropriate experience. The study contributes to the broader discourse on hybrid pedagogy in early childhood education and proposes a localized framework for sustainable parental engagement.

Abstract

The rapid expansion of hybrid learning environments in Southeast Asia has intensified the need for culturally grounded approaches to digital citizenship education. Most existing digital citizenship models originate from Western contexts that prioritize individual autonomy, overlooking the collective ethics and cultural values embedded in Southeast Asian societies. The Neosantara framework, rooted in the integration of local wisdom (Nusantara) with global digital ethics, offers a culturally responsive pathway for nurturing ethical, responsible, and empathetic digital learners. This study aims to examine how Neosantara-based pedagogy fosters digital citizenship within hybrid learning settings by aligning moral education, technological fluency, and cultural identity. A qualitative multiple-case study design was employed across three hybrid schools in Indonesia and Malaysia, involving 30 participants, including teachers, students, and curriculum developers. Data were collected through interviews, classroom observations, and document analysis, then analyzed thematically using a constructivist approach. The findings revealed that integrating Neosantara principles—such as gotong royong (mutual cooperation), tanggung jawab (responsibility), and santun digital (digital courtesy)—enhanced students’ digital ethics, collaboration, and cultural empathy. Statistical analysis supported these qualitative insights, with significant improvements in digital ethics awareness (M = 4.36) and cultural integration (M = 4.45). The study concludes that embedding Neosantara cultural ethics into hybrid learning fosters holistic digital citizenship that balances global digital competence with local moral grounding. The Neosantara Pedagogical Framework provides a replicable model for developing culturally sustainable and ethically resilient hybrid education across Southeast Asia.

Abstract

Rapid advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) have introduced new possibilities for enhancing clinical nursing practice through AI-powered decision support systems (DSS). Increasing patient complexity, rising workloads, and the demand for timely, evidence-based care underscore the need for technological tools that can assist nurses in clinical judgment, risk assessment, and care coordination. This study aims to examine the benefits and ethical considerations associated with the integration of AI-driven DSS in nursing practice, focusing on their impact on clinical efficiency, patient safety, and professional autonomy. A mixed-methods approach was employed, combining a systematic literature review with qualitative thematic analysis of documented nursing experiences across diverse healthcare settings. The findings reveal that AI-powered DSS improve accuracy in clinical decision-making, support early detection of patient deterioration, and reduce cognitive workload for nurses. The results also identify significant ethical challenges, including data privacy concerns, algorithmic bias, reduced human oversight, and potential shifts in nurse patient relational dynamics. The study concludes that while AI-driven DSS offer substantial benefits for clinical nursing practice, their implementation must be guided by robust ethical frameworks, transparent governance, and continuous professional training to ensure responsible and equitable integration.

Abstract

Background. The rapid expansion of digital media has transformed educational practices, encouraging the integration of multimedia platforms into teaching and learning processes. Podcasts and vlogs have emerged as accessible and engaging digital narrative formats that enable educators and students to communicate knowledge through audio-visual storytelling. Despite their growing popularity, systematic empirical examination of their effectiveness as pedagogical tools remains limited. Purpose. This study aims to explore the effectiveness of podcasts and vlogs as educational tools in enhancing student engagement and learning outcomes.   Method. A mixed-methods research design was employed involving 72 undergraduate students divided into experimental and comparison groups. The experimental group participated in a six-week intervention integrating podcast and vlog production into course activities, while the comparison group received conventional instruction. Data were collected through engagement surveys, academic performance assessments, classroom observations, and semi-structured interviews. Results. Findings indicate that students engaged in podcast and vlog production demonstrated significantly higher levels of cognitive and emotional engagement, along with improved academic performance. Qualitative evidence revealed increased motivation, collaborative interaction, and enhanced communication skills. Conclusion. The study concludes that podcasts and vlogs function as effective digital narrative tools for enriching teaching practices and promoting meaningful learning in contemporary educational contexts.
