Abstract

Laboratories in higher education not only function as practice spaces, but also as experiential learning platforms that play a crucial role in enhancing student competency. This study employed a descriptive approach with a CIPP (Context, Input, Process, Product) evaluative design in nine laboratories at the Faculty of Education and Psychology, Yogyakarta State University, through focus group discussions (FGDs), observations, and interviews. The results indicate that laboratories contribute positively to students' skills, creativity, and self-development, but still face limitations in terms of human resources, infrastructure, and the absence of national competency standards governing learning outcomes. The implications of this study emphasize the urgency of developing competency-based education (CBE) laboratories through improved facilities, managerial capacity, and nationally recognized competency certification, so that laboratories can function optimally as centers for competency development that are competitive both nationally and internationally.

Abstract

This research aims to explore local language revitalization strategies as a pathway to children's participation within the Child-Friendly Village framework from a non-formal education perspective. Using a qualitative approach with the Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA) method, this research involved 17 participants consisting of volunteers, community leaders, and parents, with data collection through focus group discussions, participatory mapping, and observation. The research results show that the local language revitalization strategy is implemented through participatory learning, the use of local languages in social spaces such as mosques and community activity centers, and children's activities based on outbound activities. As a result of this strategy, social identity is strengthened, communication accessibility is increased, and children's involvement in village decision-making is encouraged. However, challenges such as language shift, social stigma, and media limitations persist. In effect, this research confirms that integrating local language revitalization into non-formal education practices and village policies can be an important means of strengthening children's participation while maintaining the sustainability of local culture.

Abstract

Background: Stunting cases in developing countries are a challenge to date, stunting has an impact on the quality of human resources in a country. Research Urgency: Stunting given its numerous effects, including its substantial short-term effects on children's brain development, physical growth, and metabolism, stunting's urgency becomes clear. Although the short-term consequences are alarming, the long-term consequences may include diminished cognitive function, compromised immunity, poorer academic achievement, and an increased risk of long-term conditions like diabetes, high blood pressure, and obesity. Research Objectives: This research aims to describe the role of Posyandu cadres in stunting focus locations and the changes in parenting styles that parents make after learning their child is at risk of stunting. Research Method: This study uses a qualitative approach with a case study design. Purposive sampling was employed, and seven participants were selected, consisting of mothers of children under five at risk of stunting, Posyandu cadres, and the Head of Village. Data collection involved observations, in-depth interviews, and documentary analysis. The data analysis included data reduction, presentation, and conclusion drawing. To ensure data validity, both source triangulation and technique triangulation were used. Research Findings: The role of Posyandu cadres in addressing stunting includes being instructors, record-keepers, and motivators, and the changes in parenting styles observed are from permissive and neglectful styles to democratic styles. Research Conclusion: The results of the study provide meaning to informal education that has a wide scope. This is proven by the efforts to prevent stunting carried out by posyandu cadres to encourage changes in parenting patterns of parents who have children at risk of stunting.. Research Novelty/ Contibution: This study encourages in-depth research related to stunting prevention efforts through education for parents which must be carried out with various special strategies with an adult learning approach. Because not all posyandu cadres have the same understanding in providing education.

Abstract

Background: The acceleration of globalization and the development of information and communication technology (ICT) have brought the world into an era of planetary urbanization, fraught with challenges such as climate change, financial crises, ecological degradation, and pandemics. In response, the United Nations (UN) formulated the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). In Indonesia, the SDGs are integrated into village development through the Village Fund policy, as mandated by Law Number 6 of 2014. Urgency of Research: Although Village Funds have been proven to promote sustainable development, the implementation of the Village SDGs still faces various challenges, including low community participation, imbalances between physical development and human empowerment, and weak external stakeholder support. Previous studies have focused primarily on the use of Village Funds for infrastructure development, while their relationship to achieving Village SDG indicators has rarely been comprehensively examined. Research Objectives: This research aims to analyze the extent to which Village SDGs can be achieved through the utilization of Village Funds and to examine how a people-centered development approach through lifelong learning is a key strategy in realizing sustainable village development in Yogyakarta. Research Methods: This study employed a qualitative approach with exploratory methods. Data were obtained through in-depth interviews with village officials and field observations in 5 villages in the Special Region of Yogyakarta Province, selected using purposive sampling based on geographic location and potential. Data analysis was conducted through data reduction, narrative presentation, and conclusion drawing, with validation through source and method triangulation. Research Findings: Research results indicate that lifelong learning plays a strategic role in strengthening the social, economic, and environmental capacity of village communities. Findings in Bangunharjo, Margoluwih, Bosot, Wedomartani, and Sidoluhur demonstrate that community-based skills training, environmental education, and health programs can foster critical awareness, economic independence, and women's involvement. Furthermore, partnerships between actors (village government, PKK, youth organizations, farmer groups, and external stakeholders) create social capital that accelerates SDG implementation. However, obstacles remain, including budget constraints, low community participation, technical constraints, and the misalignment of external programs with village priorities. Conclusion and Novelty: The study concludes that lifelong learning is not only an educational strategy but also a framework for socio-economic transformation that strengthens human capital, expands capabilities, fosters critical awareness, and strengthens village social capital. The novelty of this research lies in the empirical analysis linking the use of Village Funds to the achievement of Village SDGs indicators through the perspective of lifelong learning and people-centered development, a previously unstudied approach in the Indonesian context.

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to determine the efforts of BPBD in flood disaster management on the banks of the Gajah Wong River. The method used in this research is a qualitative descriptive method that emphasises the process rather than the results achieved. Data collection techniques were carried out by means of observation, interviews and documentation. The targets in this research are BPBD and people who live on the banks of the Gajah Wong River which are often affected by flooding. The data analysis technique uses the Miles and Huberman approach which consists of several stages, namely data collection, data reduction, data presentation to verification. In this study, researchers used data validity techniques using a data triangulation approach. The results of the research conducted are that in handling flood disasters, BPBD has taken preventive measures through the KTB (Disaster Response Village) training programme, it is hoped that the programm will be able to solve flood problems because the community becomes responsive to disasters such as floods that often occur when rainfall is high. The flood disaster that occurred in Gajah Wong River did not cause a big impact.
