Abstract

The Baliem Valley in Papua, Indonesia, presents unique socio-cultural and educational challenges. Predominantly influenced by its diverse ethnic compositions and traditional practices, the region faces significant educational disparities, especially between its rural and urban areas. This study aims to develop an integrated educational model that respects and incorporates local cultural values, thereby enhancing the educational framework and outcomes for the Baliem Valley's populace. Methodologically, this research employs a literature review and content analysis approach, analyzing existing studies and data regarding socio-cultural dynamics and educational challenges in the region. The sources span scholarly articles, government reports, and credible online databases, ensuring a comprehensive understanding of the context. The findings reveal a critical gap in educational resources, with rural areas particularly disadvantaged regarding infrastructure, teacher availability, and access to educational materials. Economically, a high percentage of families below the poverty line further exacerbates educational access and quality, resulting in high dropout rates. Additionally, the study highlights the importance of cultural relevance in education, suggesting that integrating indigenous languages and local knowledge into the curriculum significantly enhances student engagement and learning outcomes. Based on these insights, the study recommends several strategies to improve education in the Baliem Valley: (1) developing curricula that reflect local cultures and languages, (2) enhancing teacher training to foster an understanding and appreciation of local traditions, and (3) increasing community involvement in the educational process to ensure that educational reforms are culturally congruent and locally supported. Conclusively, this research emphasizes the necessity of a culturally integrated educational model that not only addresses infrastructural and economic challenges but also respects and preserves the rich cultural heritage of the Baliem Valley. Implementing such a model could substantially improve educational outcomes and support sustainable development in the region.

Abstract

Challenges in the education sector in Indonesia are not limited to numerical skills, literacy, and life skills alone but have expanded to encompass the low quality of students' attitudes and behaviors. These behaviors are reflected in self-harm actions, bullying, and can have negative impacts on students' mental health. The aim of the research is to provide a basis for the development of holistic intervention strategies based on a multiperspective approach to address self-harm behaviors, bullying, and mental health issues among students. A multiperspective approach allows for the integration of various perspectives in analyzing this complex phenomenon. This paper will delve deeply into these three issues. First, self-harm behaviors will be explained in various forms, including self-harm and addiction. Analysis is conducted involving psychological, social, and neurobiological perspectives to understand the causes and impacts of self-harm behaviors on students. Second, bullying as a social phenomenon is also analyzed in depth using a multiperspective approach. Individual, environmental, and cultural factors influencing bullying are explored through psychological, sociological, and educational perspectives. Finally, students' mental health becomes another focus of this paper. By utilizing a multiperspective approach, the author seeks to identify factors contributing to mental health issues among students. The analysis involves psychological dimensions, school environment, and social support. Overall, the study of a multiperspective approach is expected to provide deep insights into the complexity of the issues under examination. This holistic analysis is expected to serve as a solid basis for the development of policies, interventions, and better approaches in responding to and preventing self-harm behaviors, bullying, and mental health issues among students.
